HISTORY To whom much is given' much is expected. In our world of change hanging perilously close to nuclear annihilation it is necessary to be aware that we are the few of whom much is expected. Realizing that there are those of a godless materialistic philosophy who would take our heritage from us, we must take steps to safe- guard our precious peace and prosperity. Combating our adversaries means possessing an awareness of their world and our own, of the eventful past and the events of the present. This awareness is history, a science that enables one to act without being an armchair orator. Four years of proper instruction are needed before we can take up our place as tomorrow's citizens. As freshmen we learn the essential facts about our earth-its peoples, customs, and climates. Advancing sophomores are given a searching look at the world at large. lnstructed in the History Shows Us a Past Rich A MILESTONE T0 FREEDOM is exemplified in West Germany as shown by Sister Margaret of Cortona to sophomores Elizabeth Piller, William Sinram, Kathleen Kelley, Kathryn Felton and Frank Kraemer. if Mimziment to Free om fart sf ii sp QI 1' N7 iflir ,SPHIIID Ilnl Mis?

Intermediate's followers develop complex fractions, vary directly in understand- ing and inversely in mistakes, and claim all math irrational. The way is nearly open. For twelfth year mathematicians, 2 and 2 do not necessarily make 4, peq, parallel lines can meet, and all the angles of a triangle do not have to equal 180 degrees.

history of other countries, we come to know and respect the culture of their people. The junior year is taken up with tl1e study of our own national background. We aim to develop an appreciation of the sacrifices that made our nation a sovereign world power. The senior history course devotes its time to the examination of vital current issues and the in- corporation of them with the knowledge of the past so that we can establish a foothold on the future. Aid in our search for a broadened under- standing comes to us by able teachers with firsthand knowledge of the world situation. With care they help us gain a clearer under- standing of man's history by shelving our previ- ous prejudices and false fear. New thought- provoking ideas are encouraged and directed making all history classes at Seton Hall the means of our becoming well rounded active citizens. CURRENT EVENTS IN OUR CHANGING WORLD are brought into focus by the articles in SENIOR SCHOLASTIC read by seniors Ellen Lavery, JoAnne Kirk, Bill Bereza, Chris Morris and Joseph Mulderig. in Lessons of Achievement SISTER MARGARET OF CORTONA Religion, History Moderator of Cheerleaders MR.
