Jeff Myles hopes that Mr. Bartek’s next joke is better than the last. Fighting the French Revolution all over again, Mr. O'Boy has Carol Nicholson jotting down the strategy. History, like Mr. Bartek’s jokes, will live forever. Living in an era of world-wide social change, today’s teenagers are faced with the Viet Nam war, LSD, hip- “Danny Lyons, are you doing English in my pies, and the race to the moon. To meet these challenges history class?” inquires Mr. Loew. and to help the students become aware of their rela- tionships to others, Feehan has established a Sociology course, open to Seniors under the guidance of Sister Mary Othilda. Past and present problems are analyzed in the History department, headed by Mr. Frederick Bartek. Mr. Bar- tek, assisted by Mr. Paul O’Boy and Mr. Neil Loew, teach Freshman World History, Junior American History, and Senior Problems of American Democracy and Consumer Economies. Does anyone have a sociology workbook?

Creativity—key to fine and practical arts. “Mmm...mmmm. . . cookies!” sniff students with mid- morning hunger as they saunter by the Home Economics lab. Guided by S.M. Claude, students generate diet-breaking smells, Paris-challenging creations, and homemaking—com- mon sense in the chef and sewing courses. Creativity, the key to Art class, is a mood, an expression, a putting yourself on paper, a making materials into a part of you with cloth, paper, or paints. Sister Marie Donna teaches not only print making, painting, ceramics, but also art history and criticism. For students who still cannot fit Art into their program despite the open-ended, ungraded scheduling, Sister conducts an Art club after school. Smiling through the Christmas rush for decorations, Sis- ter Marie Donna creates a stylized card. Using sponges and brayers, Freshmen and Sophomore Art students achieve a textured effect for their cards. Are men better cooks than women? Peter Hastings and Dennis Lalime are trying to prove it. | ee First steps in laying out a pattern are demonstrated for Sandra Cusson and Ada Houle by $.M. Claude in Home Economics.
