FIRST PERIOD - I-et us first enter into the Economics classroom. Here we Hnd the seniors, under the guid- ance of Sr. M. Fidelis, engaged in seeking a clearer understanding of the economic principles that operate in their environment. They are made to realize how supply and demand - not just vague terms from a textbook - function in the economic system around them. 8:15 --- 9:05 Cut next stop will be the Advanced Algebra Class. Under Sr. M. Rosemary's direction this group of sophomores become well acquainted with all types of equations, particularly quadratics, radicals, fractional and negative exponents, as also arithmetical and geometrical progressions. The course provides splendid training in accuracy and mathematical skill. Siiiliul' 'lied liolinger, Namni fieimer, Fred llierly, Mary H. lieiitle, Then. liyansnn, Catherine leeple. llnlures lientl.

?' Z1 owing Cfaaaea f 8:15 -- 11:30 School doors open at 7:00 A.M. and soon the building is astir with life. Cars stop, and from them children of all classes emerge, while some of the city children, with books under their arms, walk the short distance. The ringing of the church bell at 7:30 A.M. summons the D. C. H. S. students to daily Mass. X At approximately 8:10, they hle out of church ready for a day of study and work. Amid smiles and greetings they remove their wraps, and it is not an unusual sight to see many of the students cram for last minute knowledge. The 8:15 school bell summons the classes to order in their home room for prayer. After being dismissed by their class guardian, the pupils silently wend their way through the corridors to the various classrooms to begin their first class of the morning. It may be English, or Economics, or perhaps the underclassmen are looking forward to Algebra and Latin. No matter what the subject, at the end of the period. every student will exit with a broader knowledge of the topic studied. Let us, however, see what is actually happening in the different classes.

The work is directed by Mr. Andrews and Miss Pumphrey. The students are interested in building strong. healthy bodies, and realize that physical training is an essential means to that end. Are you interested in a neat, attractive, and efficient secretary? Sr. M. Albertonia's Shorthand I class is the place where better secretaries are in the making. It is in this class that the fundamentals of shorthand must be mastered, in order to determine whether or not a student is satisfactory for secretarial Work. 4117 I'.1rrici1 Schmitt, Catherine.
