Students benefit from staffs ' efficient management As a comfort to the seniors who are confused with all the paperwork needed for college admittance, Mr. Rupert too seems bewildered by Mr. Alt ' s papers. Because a school is a unit of people cooperating for the promotion of education, many think of a school only as teachers, students, and homework. Al- though non-faculty staff members are not always in close contact with students, they are never forgotten, because of the efficient assistance these people give to make the school the best. With detailed knowledge of careers and their re- quirements in college, the guidance counselors de- velop in the students a yearning for higher education. They also aid with class schedules, tests, scholarships, arships. Cheerful smiles and helpful attitudes create an atmosphere of serenity and friendliness in the school office despite hectic activity. Whenever a problem, large or small, arises the office force will help. The care and order of the library ' s card catalogue and reference materials are important jobs to librar- ians surrounded by nearly 600 students. The librar- ians are always eager to help find information, while easily accessible fiction and paperbacks encourage students to read, read, read. Lunch in the cafeteria is a break in the day that everyone welcomes. Good food and quick service are the specialties of the cooking staff. Building stages, heating, lighting, and repair work are only a few of the jobs of the maintenance men, who keep clean a well-equipped building in which the students can study and work. Sister Mary Herman ' s desk, usually heaped with national j test scores, college catalogs, career pamphlets, or class schedules, is cleared in order to discuss nurse ' s training with Marsha McGinnis. 18

Meaningful Religion approaches help youth face changing world In everyone ' s life his belief in something or someone is paramount. Touching souls with the mystery of Christ and making Christianity a vital force in the lives of students who will, in turn, bring Christ to others is the aim of Reli- gion. It highlights the better life. As the years progress and the teachers vary so do our understandings of Religion. In a school like ours, each stu- dent realizes the need for a good Religion Course. With the help of an interested teaching staff it has been possible. Father Parker celebrating a Retreat Mass with Rev. John P. Murphy, O.S.A., and Rev. Edward J. Kersten, O.S.A., joins servers and students in the com- munity Out Father. 1 20
