Taking A Test The work of a month is crammed into a night, the evening before a test. That relaxed feeling that comes with ignorance rapidly dwindles into a seething panic. lf a lifetime is reviewed before a death, the definitions. dates, and problems that meander through the mind before a test are in- finitely worse. You dream hopefully of mental telepathy, and of those happy individuals who possess photo- graphic minds, and with a silent prayer tto ward off the feeling of despairl you set to work. That night you dream of little geometric theorems chasing pantheistic heresies around a tall column of Latin verbs. The dreaded morning arrives. The time comes for taking the test. You chew your pencil mildly and look abstractedly about the room. Then nerv- ousness turns to numbness, as you gaze down shyly at the exam paper you have just met. With an ejaculation to the Holy Ghost in the cause of a few good guesses based on last night's endeavors . l. t you attack the questions. And afterwards?

In their roles as catechists, Kathy Niemtschik and Angelita Howell diligently teach little children facts about their religion.

Communion, and explaining answers to young questions concerning religion, is a task these two girls thoroughly enjoy. With the inspiration of Our Lord, Kathy and Angelita are able to help children who would otherwise be forced to keep to themselves all the normal Curiosities about their God and their Catholicism. This is indeed a worthwhile task and many are grateful for their efforts. V 1, 1 S: 3 132-Huw -V il A 'L X i . 'Onan-.,.,

Typing When the typing class gets under way everyone knows it immediately. For it is always accom- panied by a mad sort of clickety-clicking, as the frenzied little fingers of tomorrow's secretaries fumble across the keys. Within the classroom everything proceeds smoothly under the excellent tutelage of either Mother Emilia or Mrs. Living- they manage to accomplish beautifully despite all girlish tendencies of their pupils to forget capitals, shift locks, and the position of For this alone we are eternally grateful, but more than this will we ever appreciate the guidance and the under- standing given so unstintingly by our teachers. -yi' I. .X . ex , -. .
