During Wednesday afternoon�s recreation period, students played sports �

� visited with prefects �

� and rehearsed for Friday�s Shakespeare Revue:

But by 3:45, most arrived in St. Cecilia Hall �

� for tutor Dr. John Nieto�s annual Summer Program lecture, �On Art and Beauty.�

Delivering his talk for the first time in the newly completed St. Cecilia Hall, Dr. Nieto supplemented his remarks with a PowerPoint slideshow depicting many famous sculptures and paintings, several of which are at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, which the group will visit this afternoon. The talk was such a hit that the question-and-answer session ran well into dinner. 

Then came the nightly Study Hall, where students did their Kierkegaard reading in preparation for Thursday morning�s class �

� followed by the nightly Rosary in Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel:

Following the Rosary, Fr. Sebastian gave a talk about the joy that Christ experiences at our repentance, especially through the Sacrament of Penance. Immediately afterward, he exposed the Blessed Sacrament for a �Holy Half-Hour,� during which he and three other chaplains heard confessions. �The students were really moved,� one prefect reports. �Even after the half hour was over, there were lines four, five students deep at each confessional!�

Finally came the night�s most-anticipated event, the first dance class, led by prefect Dan Selmeczy.�The students started out pretty nervous,� one prefect observed, �but seemed to relax as the class went on.�

Back in the residence halls, there was pita and hummus, then cosecration and lights out. Thursday promises to be a big day, with Kierkegaard at the morning class, then a trip to the and a at the Hollywood Bowl!
