Since man is a being made of both body and soul, it is important that a person's religious education is not neglected. Through the abilities of fine teachers, the students are given an up-to-date knowledge of their religion, a history of God's relations with man, and a knowledge of the motives which should challenge the student's response to faith and personal commitment. The idea is not to have the teacher list facts and tell the student to believe, instead, he is urged to understand for himself why he is a Catholic and to be able to give reasons to others for the faith within him. Kevin Haase and Kevin Gorman debate with Brother Peter on a controversial point that came up in Religion class. 25

Seton Hall University French 1, 2 Latin 1, 2 Latin Club Moderator 1 Advances in world communication and our country's increasing interest in other nations make us aware of the need of mastering foreign languages. The Latin course, which is mostly translation, increases the student's ability to think logically. lt also gives him a knowledge of a language which is the source of many words in English. The French, German, and Spanish courses are primarily interested in teaching the student to speak and read the languages ot these countries well enough to enioy their national literatures. By means of the Audio-Lingual Method KA-LMD, the student learns to understand the language as it is spoken, and to speak it with its native accents and pronounciations. MR.
