Mr. F. Corwin History 2.3. Mr. R. Clemo, S.J., points to Hawaiian Islands. Mistory, key to the present Why do we take a history course? The answers are many, but basically the purpose of a history course is: to understand how and why the present came to be; to get the written records straight as to what, when, how, where, 6nd which; to meet the daring men and women whose deeds have enriched our lives; to identify ourselves with the institutions and beliefs which mode our civilization great; to enjoy the drama of history as it unfolds; to see the historical perspective of the role of Western Civilization in the world; to discover the ideas and prin- ciples we can use in solving our problems,- to perform with greater responsibility the duties of the Democratic citizen; to insure that our own contributions to history are worthy of our heritage; and to face the future with faith and confi- dence that the foundations of Western Civilization are secure. Such is the purpose of the history course at S.l. With men like Mr. Corwin, Mr. McDonald, Mr. Clemo, S.J., and Mr. Zuniga, S.J., these aims are fully accomplished.”—Mr. Corwin. Mr. R. Clemo, S.J.

The C.S.F. is a pyramidal organization: there are many sophomore members, fewer junior members, and just about 10 to 15 seniors. The reason? Every year it becomes harder and harder to keep a B average in studies and still partici- pate in the major activity or two minor activities necessary for membership. By the time a mem- ber is a senior, he is usually working or studying many hours a day. These men contribute in their way to the life and reputation of S.l. We feel they deserve recognition for their outstanding academic achievement. Mr. M. Joncich, S.J.: Moderator The boys of the N.H.S. don't give the impres- sion of the bookworm type of student because they are the type of students that colleges are looking for. These are the well rounded students who are as proficient in handling a pigskin or casaba or a tennis racket as in tackling a diffi- cult problem; students who support the school through the various other activities as well as taking care of their responsibility as a student; students who want to see their school go on to greater heights in the world of sports and in its academic standing; students who really know meaning of spirit—such are the students who comprise the N.H.S.

Sociology, the common good Mr. R. lomberj. $.J. Sociology 4; Engliih 3; Inrromuroli; J.V. Bovcboll. The course we call sociology is really a combination of literally all the social sciences. Stepping info the class, you might find a discussion being carried on concerning anthropology, psychology, civics, economics, or sociology. The two teachers, Mr. Coleman, SJ. and Mr. Lambers, S.J., supple- menting the text. The Common Good, with outside readings and outside assignments kept the classes stimulating and interesting. When so many of the courses taught at S.l. are either theoretical or unapplicable in our daily lives, sociology springs up. This is a course in which we learn to live better lives as citizens of the United States. Yes, sociology is a refreshing change from other courses. I A. Mr. J. Colcmon, SJ.
