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

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.

BUSINESS The rhythmic clatter and whirr of many machines and typewriters announce to the corridor at large that here is the Business Department. Sometimes a Sister stands with stop watch set while students' nimble fin- gers move skillfully over the keys. Or, with pencils poised, students await a dictation exercise. Bookkeeping, typing, shorthand, notehand, and office practice are among the classes offered by the Business Department. Attendance at workshops and meetings, and membership in business educational as- sociations keep the members of the department in- formed of the latest developments in their field. Up- to-date equipment enables the students to become familiar with the techniques required in a modern office. Sister Mary Timothy, R.S.M., is chairman of the department, whose other members are Sister Mary LaSalette, R.S.M., and Sister Mary Emeline, R.S.M.
