Retreat Rates lna'ividal's Mfnessing fo Christ This school year the exercises of the Retreat, November 21, 22, 23, were conducted by the Rev. Karl M. Chesher, O.F.M. Conv., for the juniors and seniors, and the Rev. Henry Heckman, O.F.M. Conv., for the freshmen and sophomores. They tried to make these days meaningful to Catholic students of modern times. Many students realize the importance of making use of the graces of the Retreat. The seniors especially are fervent since this is their last high school Retreat. Each Retreat Day is highlighted by the celebration of Holy Mass, at which the acolytes take their turns to serve. There are opportunities for Confessions, for private talks, and for partaking of the Divine Banquet in Holy Communion. Three daily conferences emphasized being another Christ in all the situations of our daily lives. The movie The Parable set this theme. The Body of Christ, says Father Schill, and the recipient acknowledges with Amen that he has indeed received it. .sly T f . p .. ff.: g . h Q. Zi L i.

English, Journalism. Qpeecli, rfs re fziafive Mefliods 0 f Communication English is required in all four years of high school. The allied arts of iournalism and speech are elective. Every English lesson aims to show how to write and speak in good sentences. Ability to communicate thoughts in clear, meaning- ful sentences is a very important skill. English helps one in other lessons because every lesso-n is first of all an English lesson. Command of English is of supreme import- ance in understanding what one is reading and in stating the questions to be studied. Literature helps one develop language usage and while enriching the mind affords ioy in reading and a broad background of knowledge. Learning to express thoughts effectively by writing and speaking is a real asset. Fa- cility in. either can help one gain friends, further one in business or politics, and aid one to sell ideas or merchandise. Several iournalism students use the in- formation acquired in class to- advantage in work on the yearbook. Students of speech have the opportunity to put into- practice what they learned in the class play. Stress is always laid on good speech and writing which reveal one's personality and the extent of one's education.
