Trips enliven history courses “Ask not what your history class can do for you; ask what-you can do for your history class,” por- trayed history class attitudes this year. Frosh and Sophs studied American and World History while upperclassmen could elect Isms, and Sociology. Freshmen attended the movie “1776”, viewing the human side of the signers of the Declaration of In- dependence, while Mr. Gerald Cunniff’s American Government class traveled to the State House in Boston to get a look at how laws are made. Preparing to give reports on History, Carol- yne Handrigan makes a final check to see if everything is in order. 20 Freshmen James Quaglia and Frank Johnson try to unravel the mysteries of the Watergate break-in through a collage. Trying out a “temporary screen” are Mr. James Perkoski and Walter Landry. Comparing the different aspects of Social- ism and Communism in Isms class are Man- uel Souto, Rosemarie Hastings, Elizabeth Sprigg, and Colleen Girard. Notes, notes, notes! Shelby Granger and Mary Paquin take a rest from writing while Mark Gilmore and Linda Boucher hurry to catch up.

22 Set theory course introduced Future Einsteins were turned out by Feehan’s math classes, excelling in such advanced courses as Analy- sis and Calculus. The Creative Math course enjoyed success in its sec- ond year. Algebra and Geometry challenged the math-minds of un- derclassmen. A new set theory course was inroduced, for any stu- dent having completed the most advanced math course, Calculus. The course was taken indepen- dently and the students were tested by department head, Sister Leona. “Now what seems to be the problem?” asks Sr. Margaret Salisbury as she helps Christine Cassels understand absolute values of numbers. “Don’t worry, your answer is only off by 2000! Sr. Patricia Harrington consoles a Math student while Arthur Boulet is amused with her comment. “Would you classify me as a mathematical genius? queries John Castro as Bryan Wes- sman, Kevin O’Donnell and Donald Kirby look doubtful. “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.” Would-be typ- ists perfected their skills through repetition. Department head, Sister Mary Smith kept students busy as the hieroglyphics of shorthand were mastered, books were kept, and the workings of an office and its machines were learned. Experi- ence supplemented the classroom with the work-study program. Operating an office copy machine is Jane Oliviera as Deborah Temple, Sister Mary Smith and Ann Lund look on. Typing copy against the clock, Donna Stanley strives to reach 60 words a minute in her Typing II class. “Now you know where the word ugly came from,” chuckles senior Philip Sibilia, appro- priately disguised for Spook-em Day. Carefully inserting a new page, Jane Oliveira blocks out the outside world as she begins her day as a Flashback typist.
