At the heart of the program offered by Saint Mary of the Plains is the work of Division I: Theology and Philosophy. Through a selection of courses from both departments the student is led to appreciate the immense riches of both philosophical and theological wisdom. As a result, the student acquires fundamental concepts enabling him to cope with basic problems and to think logically concerning essential relationships. Father john Kellerer, who joined the the- ology department this year, teaches the class entitled Marriage and the Family. The stu- dents deeply appreciate Father's direct and realistic approach to the problems involved in basic family communication, and his understanding of youth's concerns. T ,:,- - ' an ,tt. ' i ty,-- 1 t ...na-.Q-null Sister Agnes Regina captures the attention of students with her exuberance and deep insights. Father George Mueller, who devotes much time to the work of the Chancery Office, fits in several hours as an instructor A in theology. In a pause after class, Father clarifies some points the group had been discussing in his class in Special Moral Theology. With Father Mueller is Bill Kuhlman. .1

Fine Arts The Fine Arts program continues its ideal of developing professional awareness in the students in the department through participation and observation in the creative arts. In a larger way the Fine Arts Division works to promote creativity in all the student body through numerous produc- tions which permit the college group to participate in aesthetic experiences. Sister Christian, who heads the Division, finds time for various activities such as designing, printing, and producing programs, brochures, and flyers. Gordon Corwin, dynamic director of the choral groups and the Campanile Singers, relaxes briefly for the benefit of the cameraman. Sister Mary Karen indulges in some moments of paperwork after a strenuous day of vocal activity. This is Sister's second year as voice instructor at Saint Mary of the Plains. lui 4
