DIE rl Christopher Klein and Mary Sommerhalder discover that choice of colleges is a mutual problem. LAYINC PLANS DEFINING GOALS At St. Mary, our entire day centers around Christ and His Church. Only with a vital knowledge of God are we able to perfect ourselves and fulfill our purpose in life. With this in mind, the administration has set up a complete religious pro- gram, based on the changes introduced by the Vatican Coun- cil. It combines modern trends with fundamental principles. Since these principles are based on God's word, the lower classmen take a deeper look at the Bible to obtain a clearer understanding and more ardent love for Christ. The juniors apply these lessons to the problems which confront every teen- ager. Through weekly talks to the seniors, the laity present their views on the Church in their daily lives. These talks broaden their knowledge and understanding of the changing role of the lay apostle. To help us choose our vocation, Father John Dewane and Mr. Giles Clark have set up a complete, modern guidance center. Private conferences, beginning with the freshman year, help lay plans and define goals enabling us to look forward to the future with unbounded enthusiasm and highest hopes for success. 'iIt's as easy as do, re, mi, jokes Father Dewane to Dennis Schmidt and Joe Ciske as he directs them through another hymn.

E GLIH. INTERPRETATION OF LIFE Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Schalk, English I students Barb Koerner, Marge Mack, and Dave Mader discover that some stories are short in words but long on thoughts. The reward of studying English is a constant deepening of experiences and a fuller understand- ing in the Fields of grammar, speech, composition and appreciation of literature. Shakespeare has been chosen as one of the means of accomplishing this goal. Because Shakespeare has proved himself to be a great teacher of human nature by relating the commonplace problems of life, one of his plays is read every year by each of the English classes. Although the reading of literature is important, grammar is still essential in our everyday com- munications. Applied grammatical principles aid the student to express himself clearly and concisely. Students realize that they must strive to perfect these means of communication through compre- hensive study of all the aspects included in the St. Mary English courses. From a small acorn, a mighty 'nut' doth grow, warns English II Student Craig Derfus to Mary Stilp and Janice Schraufnagel, as they examine short story interpretations. 3:
