University High School, today is the culmination of years of conscientious planning and effort. An imp example of these endeavors is the quarter million dollar multi-purpose auditorium-gymnasium. As the second largest installation of its type, it serves as a home basketball games; as a church for First Friday Mass, and as an auditorium for plays, rallies, and assemblies. It was fitting that, as his first official appearance as — Bishop of San Diego, Bishop Furey dedicated the new gymnasium and study hall. It was also with a note of sadness that we learned of Bishop Buddy's death the da of the dedication. It was through Bishop Buddy's efforts that both the University of San Diego and Un ersity High School were built. . The new additions to University’s campus reflect the. progressive atmosphere characteristic of the high school. Academically, well over half of the texts now used are the — most recent and up to date possible. This is especially true of English, math, and science. As for the physical aspect, University’s athletic program proves itself stronger each. year, distinguishing itself in a varied field of sports competition. In addition, numerous opportunities for pri- vate counseling and daily Mass provid:: the student with moral guidance. Indeed, University avails its students every possible resource for their progress. profile of Unis new face.
