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

Guidance a Student’s Best Friend Where to go? What to do? Which way to where? Questions like these are often heard in the RHS Guidance Department. Stu- dents frequently go there to ask questions, get the re- sults of a test, look up some college information, or just to talk. This year's Guidance Department involved three very respected men: Mr. Harold Pardew, Fr. Joseph Presinell, and Fr. Anthony Opem. Emphasis is put on the individual needs of each student and tests of all kinds are administered by Mr. Pardew. The RHS Guidance De- partment is definitely a student's best friend.
