The future and success of America and its democracy is the burden of its youth. Our faculty endeavors to direct students here to acquire basic general knowledge essential to intelligent citizenship and leadership. The command of the English language is necessary to all who live in the land of the free. Literature, expressing the thoughts, feelings and emotions of great authors, enriches life. The English department, which includes Misses Anna English, Delia Gibbons, Gertrude Gilmore, Helen Laird, Ann Lynch, Lucy Lynch, Lucille McQuaiq, Mary Prestley, Burney Rice, Helen Riley, Dorothy Sheets, Emma William- son and Eva Williamson, provides fundamental and ad- vanced instruction in language and literature. The experience and training in the production of a news- paper are available, too, in iournalistm courses under the instruction of Miss Sarah McNelis. Correct speech patterns, extemporaneous speaking and dramatic speech arts are taught in the speech department by Miss Helen McGregor. Knowledge of history ls essential to world understanding and better citizenship.

History and social science courses cover all periods in mankind's story, as well as American government and international relations. Our history department includes Misses Nona Cronin, Col- ette Doherty, Marjorie Harrington, Veronica Lynch, Sarah McNelis, loan Mort., Dorothy Sheets, and Messrs. Iames Chandler, Maurice Driscoll, William Hawke, W. R. Klies and Sam Leeper. To be able to understand the languages of other nations is becoming more important daily.

Our language department is ably staffed by Misses Agatha Kelly, Ann Lynch, Eleanor Meagher and Mary Prestley. Science stimulates the use of imagination, sets forth the principles of intellectual integrity, and trains in logical deductive thinking which will make not only our com- munity, but the nation and world as well, a place where law and order will flourish. Misses Ann Coleman, Rita Mc- Grath, Margaret Small, and Messrs. Ray Bunday, W. R. Klies and George McDonald are the science faculty. Mathematics classes are under the instruction of an ex-
