Present Mirrors Past, Future Opening to brightening horizons, his- tory showed students how to become tomorrow's promising citizens by examin- ing the past. In world history, freshmen sailed into lessons and recalled the voy- ages of Viking, Eric the Lief, and Colum- bus. On the next rung of the history lad- der, sophomores and Juniors relived the Revolution, Civil War, good times of the roaring twenties and bad times of the depression. Students interested in govern- ment ideologies and rights of the Ameri- can citizens took Isms and Individuals and the Law. Interested in more than factual history, others studied sociology as a prac- tical means to improve the record of human relationships. “| say he’s guilty — ten hours.”’ ‘‘Judge’’ Perkoski presides over a mock trial with his clerk of court, Jane Edwards, and stenographer, Dennis Holland. eerie.

“Two more lines and I'm done! ’ triumphs Mary Clark while being careful not to make any careless errors. ‘Now Leslie, why don’t you start your dictations,”’ Sr. Rosaire advises Leslie Leman during advanced typing. Perseverance — Key to Success A-S-D-F-J-K-L-;. “‘I’m never going to remember this!’’ Typing one students groaned as they learned the home keys on their typewriters. But with the help of two allies, patience and practice, they eventu- ally acquired practical typing skills. Mean- while, shorthand students tackled their own problems. At first, the symbols looked like Chinese slang, but concentration and practice expanded their mastery of short- hand. ‘‘We have a balance sheet due for homework.”’ ‘‘Assets = liability + capi- tal.’’ Students learned the basics of accounting, but in time, broadened their skills. Patience, practice, perseverance, tri- umphed over seemingly impossible prob- lems and shorthand. “I’m doing good so far,’’ Gail McLear thinks as Lee Ann Gosselin types smoothly and Jeanne Morrill seems to have typewriter problems during one minute timing.

With intense concentration, Ann Mitchell sketches a problem in perspective. 1 otnnsiaamnisteilllits caisninesinionicssaitinliba “In step six, the distance from here to there, should equal the distance from here to here. ’ Sister Veronica explains the procedure of sketching cubes in correct proportion. Skill + Creativity Equal Art ‘‘Drawing is a visual comparison on paper,’ resounds daily in Sister Veronica's art classes. Working within the basic rules of balance, proportion, and perspective, art students had great opportunities to be creative. First year students centered their work around blocks, figures, curved and straight line designs, and raised horizontal and vertical symmetry. Second year art students concentrated on pencil and char- coal shading, to present objects in a 3-D effect. Third and fourth year art students released their creative energy by design- ing Christmas cards using spattering and stipling techniques. Shading with colored pencils also showed students’ abilities and creativity. Students interested in pursuing careers as draftsmen in architecture or engineering, began basic drafting instruc- tion in the mechanical drawing course. 23
