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.

Spirit of 68 in... ATHLETICS “Teams that will not be beaten, cannot be beaten!” This quote, borrowed by Mr. O’Boy from his coach, is often used in the locker room and rallies. Unwary people might think of sports only in the capacity of the games and players. There is much more. The basic reason for athlet- ics is to train the body and mind to be strong and to overcome difficulties in a reasonable way. Of- ten the “streamline” team bus had to be welded together to take the boys to away games. Plays had to be worked out and sent in from the side- lines. Cheerleaders have to co-ordinate the ac- tions while observers juggle their time to rally team spirit. Win or lose, there has always been a crowd of families, alumni, faculty, and students, to greet our team at the gym door.
