better understanding of their faith Study guide units, class room discus- sion, related reading, and reports help to bring alive the history of the early Church and make it part of our religion. After doing the above things, some ambitious juniors still felt that a cer- tain amount of variety in their religion course was desirable. So, under the direction of a fellow classmate, Bill Wilson, they dramatized the miraculous conversion of St. Paul. The play, pro- duced and directed by Wilson, offered an unusual diversion from the ordinary class room discussion. Although plays are few and far bet- ween, they symbolize the students ' interest in the early problems and ac- complishments of the Church. In addi- tion to offering a change in the custom- ary class format, it enables them to realize more clearly the facts related in their units about early Church his- tory. It is only through such a desire to learn more about our faith from sources other than textbooks that we can devel- op into well-rounded Catholics who will be an asset and not a hindrance to our Church and the community in which we live.
