VVhy do teenagers go to school? YVhy do schools exist? These questions call forth almost as many answers as there are schools. St. lVIary's aims to give each of her students a valuable, usable key. The key to ultimate success is, as all know, an awareness of God, in himself, in people, and in nature. But besides ultimate success, each one must shape for him- self a life to be lived on earth. A school exists primarily to help each stu! dent think, to help him grasp and use truth, religious, mathematical, scientific or gram- matical. This alone is a huge task. A student, however, has not only a head but a heart and a will. Every school tries to aid the parents in their essential job of inspiring high ideals, worthy motives, and moral actions. It is the balance-the scope, depth, and varying stresses in instruction and activity-that gives each school its unique character. St. Maryls is, then, what her teachers and her students make her.

In science we learn in a day what men discov- ered in a lifetime of research. The atomic age of Sputnik, missiles, and space ships is but the flowering of centuries of steady growth in uncovering naturels laws and harnessing her powers. Both past and present point the importance of earnest, long continued effort to master the key to the future. fe' wwf, ay afwz, 1C,,,L,WafZ'-:fv nfdJvLff4f' Www fa sflzaax V.cwMM c,fLM4,aw-af 4 0 Lf f. ?7fcffZffvn,f , -avi-by f The Past Gnlock, Zreasures of Knowfedge xgwcpu uiawof Jbzwwxf LL ,4,u,ecz,4Af. g,Wbt-WJJHJXLQMKZMJ av!! 1 QLWJ 21

HISTORIC JACKSONVILLE draws a group of students to examine one of the treasures in the old Church tln-re. Jimmy Reneziu, Mary Crevier, and Denny Dligrgran delight in Father MeLeod's oak bound Missal. Nlemorable events of the past bring today's World into focus and provide a key to its puzzling situations. As Napoleon, Lincoln, and Lewis and Clark march across the pages, the roles played by DeGaulle, Faubus, and Milli- kan become clear. Considering everything from the pageantry that surrounds the election of a pope to a prosaic discussion about parking meters and freeways, American democracy begins to see itself as the product of the past, built upon an age-old idea that every man is Christ's own brother. utstreteh to Us F.-XSCIN,-XTED BY THE BEAUTY of the VCSFIIIUIIIS, Gerry Elbert listens with interest as Father Ilg explains the rites and traditions connected with the vestments. 9 CONNIE SOKOIQOVVSKI, star typist, is busy at one of the numerous tasks she undertakes for the ,food of the school, or to help some student who is hard pressed. SPEECH MEMBERS Bernard Boat and ,Tim Dupray listen attentively as Sister Brigid Mary explains the use of the school intereonnnunieation system. W the Keys to Scholarship 23
