Fr. J. Hanley, S.J. Religion I. Religion, blueprint for the future The reason for teaching Religion at Saint Ignatius is two-fold: first, to gain for the student a better understanding of the truths of the Faith; and, second, to stimulate the student's regard for the Catholic Way of Life which is his. Because the aim is double, the challenge to the teacher is greatly increased. From the student's standpoint, the course should be a doubled give for him. From the teacher's position, the course should be one of academic excellence, but, at the same time, vital and inspiring to the adolescent. The student must put out for the course initially to obtain the good that Religion offers. In return, the religion course should encourage in the student a more dynamic faith that will make him a true Christian leader. In striving for this, S.I.'s Religion Department employs the Loyola series of texts—Power, Loyalty, Guidance, and Service. These books, coupled with the dedication of the Religion teachers at Saint Ignatius, provide impetus for the double paralleled course.

Den Carter prepares for next Moss. Sanctuary Society Why is mine black? December 8th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, is an important clay for Sane members. On that day, after a year's probation, they promised to assist the priest at the altar of God with fidelity and devotion. They are more than altar boys, having consecrated themselves in a special way to the service of God. As such, they open themselves to God's grace in return. This is done, of course, with a constant sacrifice of sleep and free time. The Sanctuary Society's principle function is to provide servers at the Main and side altars of St. Ignatius Church. Each member serves a few mornings each month besides his turn at the Sunday Masses. His office keeps him in close association with the Mass and makes easy more frequent reception of Holy Communion. Last and least, there are regular 'shindigs' where the Sane members release the teenage spirits cassocks and sur- plices might conceal.”—Mr. Charles Gagan, S.J.
