MUCH OF THE LEISURE time between conferences was spent in reading spiritual books and pamphlets. -4 Retreat Every year, around the end of the first semester, the Prep. students lay their books aside and concentrate on their spiritual status. Everything quiets down and the Prepsters begin to examine their consciences. After the examination, the students concentrate on ways of mend- ing their lives, The conferences for the underclassmen are held in Saint Joseph's Cathedral. The seniors travel to the Trappist Abbey at Gethsemani, Kentucky, for their retreat. lf the religious fervor of the seniors begins to waver, they have the good example of the Trappist Monks to bolster their faltering spirits. After the retreat there is a noticeable change at the Prep. THE CONFERENCE ROOM was the heart of the retreat. The seniors assembled there several times a day for con- ferences, rosaries, and stations of the cross. Through the retreatmaster, the Prepsters learned their place in the world. ALTHOUGH THE WEATHER was inclement, it did not bother these seniors who were making the Way of the Cross outside. The religious fervor of the students was clearly seen in actions of this kind.
