E GLIH The great art of writing is the art of making people real to themselves with words. -Logan Pearsall Smith Scholars of the past are studied while those of the future are molded through the efforts of the English Department. Students are shown through literature that their problems are not unique, and that they are not alone in the human condition. Major themes which capture the meaning of life are discussed. Speaking, reading, writing and listening per- fection are among the main objectives of St. Pius, English Department. The resource center, Well- equipped with filmstrips, tapes, and records, is a busy area of activity as students broaden and enrich their knowledge. The department offers a wide range of course selections in an attempt to meet the interests of all students. Robert Skrobacz shows that an abundance of audio vzsual equipment helps to make litera- ture come alive. On bended knee Mrs. Geruth's English class seems to differ on Who done it.

MEDIA CE TER Great stores of all sorts of good books are common among us. He that cannot buy, may borrow. -Richard Baxter The Media Center is a vital part of student life, since modu- lar scheduling emphasizes independent study and research. The library staff, under the direction of Mrs. Barbara Asmann, is more than able to help in all ways to further the educa- tion and progress of the students. All faculty and students enjoy the convenience of our constantly growing Media Center. Besides the 146 general and professional magazines and four daily newspapers presently received, plans for next year include the inauguration of The New York Times on microfilm. The Media Center is never empty as students use their time to complete their independent study assignments. Some leisure time is also enjoyed in the relaxing atmosphere of the center as students peruse the magazines and newspapers. l Hardworking students can always be found in our media center.
