P’ J l! |ii!iii!m;i!il Guides When The Eye comes out, when the play is staged, when our football team wins, you can be sure that long hours of hard work lay behind the success. Many students, with varied interests and abilities, have worked together to produce a result that is as good as their combined efforts and talents. And behind the success, behind the effort and talents, always stands a faculty moderator, patient, enthusiastic, self-sacrificing. Our teachers know the value of hobbies and clubs; they know the value for later life of learning to work together with other students, of sharing their interests and ideas. Many of our teachers are themselves successful writers, speakers, musicians. They moderate our clubs, stimulate and direct our activities primarily with the hope that we will develop our hidden interests and talents. Our moderators firmly believe that activities play an important part in the formation of tomorrow's industrious. enthusiastic, and cooperative leaders. MR. VANDER VF.NNET. Utin, Rand . . . MR.

LEARNING Classes As a young man Xavier studied at the University of Paris. The lecturers and professors of this famous school helped to put a final polish on the mind that later was able to cope with the complexities of the many languages and strange customs of the East. But Xavier’s greatest teacher in Paris was his roommate, Ignatius of Loyola, who by word and example burned into the mind of Francis the importance of salvation. Because of Ignatius, Francis left Paris prepared to use his learning for the salvation of men’s souls. Though our teachers have not had many Xaviers to work with, they have worked hard to make us both learned and holy. Our classes have not been all prayer and quiet, but they have been mental forges in which the metal of our minds has been shaped into intelligent and holy instruments for the service of God. page 17 Everv morning al 8:55 we trudged upstair to our classrooms and hooks.
