Christ kept alive by involvement in contemporary life Religion is not dead, especially at St. Aiphon- sus. How is it kept alive? Some say that new books, teachers and approaches play a big part in keeping the fire burning. When Juniors walk into Mr. O’Donnell’s class they respond to the new ideas as they absorb the spark being felt all over the school. The Underclassmen are introduced to a contemporary class of discussion and practical application. Meanwhile. Father McMurtrie keeps the Seniors busy with projects like marriage inter- views and with test questions such as “What is the leading college football team in the nation?” Action and involvement are key words of the time and the students are determined not to be left out. Whether they are lighting candles, shar- ing intentions or expressing opinions, St. Al’s students are definitely involved in everything that happens in the world today.
