HOME ECONOMICS IS S. M. KATERI putting in or taking out? What- ever it is, it looks appe- tizing behind the white door. Chef, dress designer, dietician, budget-balancing, or home-making -- ladies' and gentlemen's choice -- what will you have? Feehan offers both faculty and modern facilities for an excellent training in home economics. Sister Mary Kateri, R.S.M., head of the department, sees a great change in the high school home economic program within the past ten years. Today's home economic courses challenge good stu- mE SS dents to achieve excellence in the most fundamental areas of preparation for life. Feehanites, however, do not have to wait for the future to enjoy practical ap- plications of the skills. Costume making for dramatics, delicious fudge for the Christmas concert -- these are just some of the contributions our home economists make to keep Feehan First! The science of Homemaking is the art of making a home. “ lrir sy idea fe | gre) a. 6té fi s 4 : 4 € 17 is i { , Yn Pas opp SUSAN OUELLETTE and Mary Duffy check finishing touches on the suit while Sister M.

A mathematician has artistic sense and a logical mind. Calling all students . Space age -- calling all students!'' -- might well be a summons to Feehan!'s many different Math classes. In a five-level basic al- gebra course, all freshmen, proceeding at their own pace, lay the foundations in new math for later, more complex structures. Sophomores take basic geometry and are introduced to analytic and space geometry. Juniors may elect Algebra II, which includes advanced topics in algebra and fundamentals of trigonometry.

In the senior year, the accelerated group take an intensified study of trigonometry and analytic geometry to prepare for college calculus. For students not intending to major in math or science in college, two courses in review math are available. On this strong foundation, Feehan's potential engineers, re- search scientists, architects, lab analysts, space scientists and astronauts, and teachers can build ca- reers for the future. S. M.

FAVORITE HISTORY ANECDOTES amuse S. M. Emeline and Mr. Frederic Bartek, teachers of World History. MEMBERS OF THIS HISTORY department also are Mr. Roger Thibault and Mr. Peter Gazzola. Prob- lems in American Democracy concern the latter; American History, the former. To have a sense of history is to know today’s promise. HEAD OF THE HISTORY Department is Mr. Joseph Hughes whose special interest is in American History. HISTORY Perhaps one of the most fascinating studies undertaken in high school is history. No subject gives readier access to the mind of mankind, or a surer guide to our future activities, or, certainly, more scope for discussion and critical judge- ment. History enables us to put important facts in their proper light, free of bias and bigotry. It is a touchstone by which we Can measure our own decisions; a standard by which we can measure our present actions; a judgment on the past by which we can direct our steps into the future. The student well-grounded in history steps forth into today's world a better individual, more inquisitive of his surroundings. He takes his place in today's history-in-the- making with a sure determination to influence his commu- nity for good, to add to the accumulation of world history his pages of honor. The history student today is tomorrow's citizen, aware of the great challenge and the strong moral responsibility that is his. 18
