Practzcal Arts bend toward future In the Practical Arts department, skills are learned which lead to future ways of life. Four years of Mechanical Drawing, three of Home Economics and one of Family Living, all contribute to rounding out the student's knowledge. Mechanical Drawing, taught by Mr. Richard Pfarr, is treated much like a language which must be read and understood. The first year is devoted to the fundamentals and learning to read the drawings. By second and third year, the students concentrate on practice to achieve facility. In the fourth year of the program, students may choose their own subjects. Sister M. Vincetta, head of the department, guides girl students through the various phases of home making, from Home Economics I and II and Clothing I and II to Family Living.

Business skills aid in career to come A new course in the Business Department this year is a great boon to the average student. Personal typing is a one-module, one-credit course. Its aims are not to develop a studentis typing skills for office work, but instead to teach the rudiments needed for corre- spondence and term papers. Typing I and II are again taught by Sister Mary Jonathon and Mr. Richard Dullaghan. Drills, timings and detailed term assignments are used to develop speed and accuracy. Sister Jonathon also gives classes in Shorthand I and II and is head of the Business Department. Mr. Dullaghan leads the business law classes this year. Mr. Iohn Farrell is instructing the bookkeeping classes for the first time this year. Along with the other departments, business is growing and becoming better each year. It is a great help to each student in selecting future careers. Pang FRANC F ,,..,... Fundamentals of profit and loss are clerified by Mr. Dullaghan. 35
