SISTER ANNE CHARLES—Sister’s soft voice and serene attitude are one of her many fine assets. Her capability in teach- ing French I. English II. and English III is another one. Sis- ter’s calm character belies this drive and zeal for teaching. Sister is also moderator of the school chapter of the National Honor Society. MRS. CATHERINE TERPELUK—“All right, girls, walk, don’t run!” Any Kennedy girl would recognize these memor- able words. Mrs. Terpeluk is famous, or infamous, for her grueling exercises, and many a girl has whooped for joy when the above admonition was given. Under her able guidance, however, the girls’ basketball team has been a winning team for several years. MR. JOSEPH F. DOWD— Teaching Religion III is his inspiration: running the Dis- cipline Office is his aspira- tion. These two enormous jobs are certainly time-con- suming. but Mr. Dowd is always eager to listen to complaints or plaudits where the good of the school is concerned.

SISTER AGNES De SALES—Teaching mechanical drawing is but one of Sister's many jobs. Teaching World Culture and Russian history are two more. But still her work is never done. Sister is in charge of our school book store and is responsible for many more important articles which are being sold there this year. SISTER ALOYSIUS GONZAGA— Je m appelle . . . No need for introductions. Everyone knows Sis- ter’s name, for she is well known not only for her proficiency in speaking, but also for her intricacies of the French language. Sister is also moderator of the French club, the world affairs club, and the junior and senior debate clubs. SISTER RITA ALOYSIA—Sister is familiar to many stu dents as a “walking computer. and her Math III and IV pupils can attest to that fact. Axioms and laws are second nature to Sister. But there is another side to this efficient and mathematical nature. Sister is also head of the Studies Office, where anyone who is interested in fuithering his career either academically or commercially may apply for help.

SISTER MARY CORNELIUS—Although many sophomores don’t know it. English is the national language. Sister has attempted to prove this in her English II class, but it is well-known that sopho- mores are a hard-to-convince lot. Sister is also the school librarian and makes available the most appeal- ing and absorbing books that she can find. SISTER MAXINE—Her working day is filled with projects and prob- lems, yet Sister is never too tired to help the Student Council achieve its goal of better student-teacher relations. She instructs classes in general science. Home Economics I and II. and family living, yet Sister always makes sure that the Student Council is doing its job. No. Sister isn’t president . . . but the all-important advisor. SISTER MARY JUDE—The ‘‘Albert Einstein” of Archbishop Ken- nedy. Sister Mary Jude does not plan to blow up the school. Contrary to students’ opinion, she wishes to teach general science, physics, and chemistry instead of dynamite ingredients and LSD composites. Sister attempts to impress the laws of science on the impressionable minds of future scientists. MR. JOHN F. DIAMOND—You may think that learning math is un- bearable. but no one has a poorer lot than Mr. Diamond. He has to teach Algebra I and Math IV to dozens of students who know more about the Monkees and Zorba the Greek than they do about the hypotenuse of a triangle. Mr. Diamond has more to his credit than penetrating feeble, anti-math brains, however. For three years he has piloted the girls’ soft- ball team to victory after victory. 19
