Bring Your Boethius!

Well prepared from their diligent reading at study hall last night, the California High School Program students dove into Genesis at this morning’s class. They compared the two different Creation narratives, contemplated the perennial battle between good and evil, and asked how Adam and Eve’s free will could coexist with God’s foreknowledge of the Fall. “We came up with hundreds of profound questions to consider,” one student lamented, “but before we knew it, the 90 minute were up!”

Next up was Mass in Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel and lunch (burger bar!) in St. Joseph Commons. Prefects also brought slices of cake — and led the whole group in a rousing singing of “Happy Birthday” — for three students celebrating their birthdays today. Pictures of the celebration and other sights around campus are available in the slideshow below:

As lunch got out, Head Men’s Prefect Andrew Rossi announced tomorrow’s trip to the Getty Museum and Hollywood Bowl, encouraging students to do their next day’s reading during the bus ride to Los Angeles. His parting words, “Bring your Boethius!”
