Christian education is to form creative personallti of re-creating and restoring c ln a christain atmosphere, the individual personality of each student is enlarged beyond the ordinary limit. From the moment a person enters West Catholic as a freshman to the time he walks down the corridor for the last time as a senior, he is encompassed by the spirit that makes a Catholic school unique. Religion is not taught to be left behind in the classroom but it must be carried out to other classes and, most important, to the world. This year, for the first time, the weekly magazine Hi-Time was used by all grades. This comprehensive magazine not only contains facts on religious doctrines, but brings decisive religious happenings throughout the world to light.
