Challenge oj Educating for Home Life Is Met by Home Ec The challenge of educating young adults for better home and family living is, indeed the goal toward which Mrs. Merri Nelson strives for in the Home Econom- ics Department. The Home Ec I classes studied courses in family rela- tions, sewing, textiles and clothing, foods and nutrition and housing in which each student planned a room which included color contrast and decorating. Home Ec II classes studied most of the same with the ad- dition of a course in home crafts in which the student could select a project concerning the home. Creative cooking and meal plan- ning was also included in their studies.

Understanding and the ways of faith is an important aspect in the religious education of the students at Roncalli. Three directors of the faith at Roncalli get the message across very well. Father Bernard Weber, head of the religion department, instructed freshmen and juniors and Sister Janet Horstman was in charge of teaching the sophomores. Father Anthony Opem developed the seniors' sense of religion this year. Also in the area of developing our faith were weekly all-school Masses. Most everyone at RHS, at some time, was involved in the preparation and planning of the Masses. 22
