The underclassmen make up the bulk of those undergoing high school educa- tion. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors all may have diHerent attitudes toward the work they are directed to perform. But the more mature they become, the more they realize its importanceg and conversely, the more they cooperate in doing what they are directed to do, the more mature they become. The aca- demic side of high school life--home- Work, recitation, tests, drills-consti- tutes the forms which the self-activity in question takes. The continual prac- tice and perfection of every form of ex- pression and thinking is its essence. DERCLASS

DADS BACK SCHOOL, S In the job of education there has to be cooperation. Student and teacher, student and parents, and teacher and parents must all work together. But very often the possibility of such cooperation, such as that between teacher and parent, is diminished because the two par- ties do not have any opportunity to get together. The Dads' Club insures that this does not happen at U. of D. High. Without the Dads' Club the job of educating students efficiently would be hampered. For by bringing faculty and fathers together, the Dads' Club enables each part- ner in the business of education to appreciate both his opportunities as well as limitations in what he can do for a student. The Dads' Club also provides occasions for father and son to spend an evening together, along with meet- ing other fathers and sons. Where all this takes place is, of course, at the monthly meetings. Highlights of this year's meetings were the annual Freshman Night, fol- lowed shortly by Meet the Faculty Night, where Dads went through a school day in miniature with their sons. The Feb. 9 meeting was devoted to Vocation Night, which featured a survey of various professions. The Dads were also behind the annual Expansion and Scholarship Drive, which was staged from March 3 to April 10. NS Above: Fr. Koch, S.J., thinks it over. Below: Dads attend to the principal speaker.
