Academics Subsequent to the shaping of everyone’s life is the search for knowledge which is attained by many at S.F.H.S. The life of a CRUSADER consists of many exciting encounters throughout a day. As he walks down the hall, the sights and sounds of other nations are recog- nized as students partake in the study of foreign languages. Eerie aromas float from the chemistry lab as future sci- entists are experimenting into the unknown. A symphony of the rhythm of the typewriters and the clicking of the adding machines fill the cafeteria as business leaders of tomorrow trek on in their search for knowledge. Hardly a day passes that a CRUSADER does not stop by the library. Every reference book, biography, and grand novel holds within its covers the key to the ad- venture and knowledge which every CRUSADER is seeking.

The junior and senior boys enjoy a delicious dinner in St. Mein- rad's dining room. Religion Is the Basis of Life’s True Meaning With religion as the guiding rule for everyone’s life, students are given the chance to grow intellectual- ly and spiritually at S.F.H.S. Father Raymond Kuper along with Father Bernard Verkamp serve as religion instructors at our high school. Both try to give the students the best spiritual guidance and instructions. Because meditation and reflection are essential at times in everyone's life, retreats are held at S.F.H.S. The underclassmen spend their day of recollection on the school campus while the upperclassmen journey to St. Meinrad. Each group attends Mass, listens to lec- tures, and devotes the day to private reading and pray- er. Communion is distributed to the girls at S.F.H.S. by Father David Kissel. Between conferences the girls take advantage of the S.F.H.S. campus. 1 1
