Although the community of Del- phos is a small one by certain standards, the students can make their world as big as their interests. They can easily expand their hori- zons by taking advantage of the facilities and the offerings in their surroundings. Some students learn earlier than others how to make their lives more meaningful in the home environ- ment. They choose subjects that will give them a well rounded prepara- tion for their future work with peo- ple, with ideas, or with their hands. Never satisfied to postpone liv- ing, they use their spare time profit- ably in pursuits in which they can realize their own capabilities and enioy a richer and fuller life. Mak- ing new friends in the community with whom they can weather the ups and downs of life is also an inviting consideration. Right now the community is help- ing the students to grow and ma- ture so that they, in turn, can as- sume responsibilties as informed citizens in roles of leadership and of service. Do you think these studious senior boys walking down Main Street discuss any- thing but books?

Faculty - .Qfudent Bonds Helpful No one knows better how to help youths master the work than good teachers, who are more important for a perfect school than good methods, according to Pope Pius Xl in his en- cyclical on the Christian Education of Youth. Our teachers possess excel- lent qualifications of mind and soul and have the students' interest at heart. It is not unusual, therefore, to find students getting help from their teach- ers during free periods and after school. On such occasions they find teachers very human and willing to assist. This gives the students confidence to approach them not only for scissors, tape, and pins to hang up their boost- er posters but to entrust to them the problems arising in their personal lives. Once communication has begun, students admit that the doors of the classrooms were always open for seeking help. lt was the students' at- titude or way of looking at things that brought down the walls. Father, do you mean to say that you had the same problems when you were a kid? seems to be the expression of Freshmen John Brinkman and Michael Patton as they confer with Father Scharf, their Religion teacher. Sister Mary Victor, director of the Crest, offers a suggestion to copy-editors .loan Beckmann and Ann Dickrede that will link their captions to the pictures Harry Flanagan has taken.
