16 To Xavier students the Mass is a challenge, a responsibility, and a privilege. Through the efforts of the administration, the teaching staff, and the Sodah'ty, daily Mass is the first responsibility of every student. Freshmen and Sophomores attend each morning, either singing a high Mass or reciting the prayers in common. J uniors and Seniors attend, at least, every other day, but many from both years hear Mass daily. Frequent com- munion is the norm for all four years. Daily communion is encouraged and practiced.

Math is one of the few subjects that follow a student throughout the course of his education. From grade school arithmetic to college calculus, the texts, tests, and teachers come in steady progression. Here at Xavier the mathematics department is one of the larger branches, with every opportunity given the students for success. The math teachers, J esuit and lay, constantly try to impress their stu- dents with the importance and useful- ness of mathematics, from freshman algebra through plane geometry, up to trigonometry. For advanced stu- dents there are courses in caluculus. Xavier is fortunate to have so many mathematics teachers Who have given great parts of their lives to teaching in high school. They have the kind of dedication which makes for expertness. mn-Hbgmidb; MR. ROBERT T. DENNEDY Health 2; History 1H, 1K, 1M; Geometry 2H, 2J; Reserve Football; Freshman Basketball; Tennis Fr.
