Religion and Counseling The Religious Studies and activities at Servite, as in any Catholic High School is the Raison de' Etre of Catholic Education. Since it is relegated to a sub-standard course in many instances, our purpose here is to make Religion the vital and im- portant position it deserves. Our religious studies are so designed as to give a good background of Christian Life as seen in the lives of Great Per- sons in the past, be they Biblical, ancient or modern; be they philosophers, peasants, psy- chologists or saints. The Christian Principles are also studied from the vantage point of lit- erature and science. There are also Liturgical and Missionary activities which the students participate in, to give them the sense ol Re- ligious Action they need. Servite, during the past year, also broadened its Counseling Pro- gram which provided more opportunities for the department to have private interviews with cacli Servite student.

Liberal Arts The Servite High History Department concen- trates in the areas of Ancient. Medieval and Modern World History, United States History, Advanced Placement American History, and United States Government. The aims of the department are to give students a solid grounding in the basic issues which have characterized man and his development down through the ages. Contemporary history is also stressed through current event classes and especially through the Great Decisions program. The English Studies Department offers a five- year-in-four program at Servite for those students who elect Advanced Placement English. Through the studies in literature and language structure the students develop their insights not only to the literature of English speaking peoples, but also their creative abilities at composition. The Language Department of Servite offers a four year program in Latin, Spanish, and French. Language is communication. Its study entails the skills of communication which are understanding the spoken word, speaking, reading and writing. The primary aim is to help the student attain this language proficiency. To be able to communicate in a foreign language, to participate in a different culture, to read in another literature is a broadening and lasting educational experience, a form of personal fulfillment. Through the study of languages, this department further aims to develop an appreciation of the Chris- tian cultural background and a better know- ledge and understanding of other peoples as members of the family of nations.
