0 Wonderful World Of Books . . . Let Me Share Your Wealth With Others . . . Just as there is a time to weep and a time to laugh, so there is a time to be serious and a time to relax. In the picture at the left, SISTER MARY EUCHARIA is operating the Filmstripand-Record- Player machine at a Fall Faculty Meeting. Concentra- tion was necessary to keep the correct synchroniza- tion of frames and narration, and she succeeded perfectly. Below there is a second picture in which Sister is more relaxed and this is a more normal and natu- ral picture. SISTER EUCHARIA has replaced SISTER MARY JOSITA who was assigned to the College of Mount Saint Vincent in the fall. Most of her courses in Library Science have been taken at Catholic Uni- versity in Washington, D.C., and she comes to the Academy with the technical knowledge required and also with a love of books and a kind of rever ence for the riches enclosed between their stiff or flexible covers. The new carrels in the Library purchased with funds contributed by the Fathers and Friends of the Mount have been put to good use. SISTER MARY EUCHARIA Librarian Early in December SISTER EUCHARIA obtained cartons of new books of various categories — which will be on the shelves as soon as they have been accessioned and catalogued. One of the innovations that has appealed to Seniors in particular has been the frequency of Free Fine Days — or should we call them Fine Free Days? We’ve had three so far!

Sister, I Need Advice . . . When Can You See Me? It wasn't an easy task to assume the role of Guid- ance Councillor that SISTER MARIA ASSUMPTA had filled for nine years, but SISTER MARGARET AILEEN was well prepared for the task. Last spring, when both Sisters knew what lay ahead, SISTER MARGARET AILEEN spent several week ends at Tuxedo, and SISTER ASSUMPTA outlined procedures she had found helpful and successful. After three years of SISTER ASSUMPTA’s counsell- ing, we, the Seniors, were disappointed when we learned that she had been assigned to St. Ray- mond's High School. Soon, however, we discovered that SISTER MARGARET knew a great deal about Colleges, and as she got to know us, was able to advise us about requirements and advantages of the Colleges we chose . . . and if she didn’t have the information, she knew how we could obtain it. For the Underclasses, Sister's work involved Test- ing Programs and also Group Guidance Sessions and individual counselling. SISTER MARGARET AILEEN Guidance Without rapport between Councillor and stu- dents. counselling would fail. Fortunately, with very few exceptions, — and this is normal — students approach SISTER MARGARET with confidence and little hesitation. In the picture at the left, LUKI DE VITO is clowning with SISTER at the Freshman Christmas Party. (SISTER MARGARET is Class Adviser for 9-1)

It ’s Pleasant . . . It’s Practical MRS. LYDIA MARSHALL Typing and Notehand If there is one elective chosen by the vast majority of Seniors, it is the Typing and Notehand course given by MRS. MARSHALL. Whether we want to prepare for a career in the business world, or be able to take notes quickly and type our term papers and other assignments in College, both of these courses have practical value — and they’re enjoyable too. In November MRS. MARSHALL requested The Berkeley School to send someone to visit our classes and to speak to us on the advantages of a business career. MISS SCOTT, pic- tured below, accepted the invitation, and represented the school. As we go to press, MRS. MARSHALL is formulating plans for a field trip to an Industrial Plant and or to a Business School for the next semester. Typing Certificates and Awards are given by the Catholic Bus iness Education Association to students typing up to sixty words a minute, a goal which the majority of MRS. MAR- SHALL’S students achieve. . . . It’s Relaxing . . . In the picture at the right MRS. MARSHALL glances over ELLEN s shoulder at the page in her typewriter. CLARE is in the foreground.
