Although speeches are difficult to give, the students of Mr. Desotelle ' s speech class ore acquiring the fine points on how to talk with ease and grace. The test of their learning is reflected at report-card time. Senior girls of the sewing class, Janice FillJater, Susan Bugner, Margaret Witmore, Sue Omior, and Leona Frias model outfits.

Concert Bond claims two new requirements in 1962; namely, it is now considered a subject occupying a class period, and is composed of high school students only. Our curriculum offered new subjects In past years, very high stan- dards have been kept at St. Wen- delin to give the students an op- portunity for an excellent educa- tion. Now those opportunities are even greater through modern facilities and well-educated in- structors. Concert band has been raised to the level of a class, giving many students a cultural and rec- reational hour. The New Frontier of Pres- ident Kennedy is taken seriously at St. Wendelin High School. Our girls will not lag behind. A two- year physical education program is a reality. Cooking and sewing employ the hands of Martha and the heart of Mary.

Religion is not only a subject, but a part of our Religion has a great effect upon the lives of the students at St. Wende- lin ' s High School. We are taught to increase our men- tal ability as well as our spiritual ability. We are taught the rights and wrongs of our moral lives by the inspirational guidance and good example of our priests, sisters, and lay teachers. We as students consider it a privi- lege to have received three years of religion in a Catholic High School. It has helped us to develop a strong character to face the responsibilities of adult life. Like a seed that will develop into a lovely flower when planted in the earth, so it is when Religion is planted in our souls. We will develop into a shining example of Chrisianity. The junior religion class is learning Church History and the life of Christ. This class is interesting as well as worthwhile. Gerald Holmon, Harold Dillery, and Judy Reinhart l isten attentively, as Dottie Miller reports on Christ ' s life. Correcting papers is just one of the many duties of Pother Wurzel. Does he look content with his students ' grades? This is a familiar scene In the girls ' sociology class. Prayer is the prelude to every session taught. Many fine points of our religion are learned in connection with the study of man in his relation to God, to other men and to himself.
