Promising Futures Beckon U5 A promising future awaits the secretary who is trained in neatness, accuracy and speed. Our business department aims to teach these skills through a two year pro- gram beginning in the junior year. Short- hand, typing and bookkeeping are taught in our third floor business rooms. Here, our new typewriters and even newer tables, help us develop the speed and accuracy so needed for this occupation. We apply these skills practically when we work in the office and learn the proper technique With the mimeograph and transmit telephone messages. Our office secretary, Mrs. Brinsden, sets an example of the person- ality and skill required for success in this work. Another future beckoning to some Domin- icanites is mathematics. Afour-year pro- gram beginning with algebra and ending in advanced mathematics presents achallenge to those interested in this field. Those who excel have an opportunity to present their work at the fair held annually at the school. More important, however, is the knowledge gained from this field and its application toward building a promising future. Sue Graney and Joan Schmitt watch closely as Kath- leen Kerwin works a difficult problem in advanced mathematics. We find that proficiency in this ex- acting field requires logical reasoning. Assisted by Sister Eugenia Marie, Susan Smith and Jacqueline Pepp learn to operate a mimeograph. Frequent opportunities for practicing this techni- wt nt.

Their studies will include the atmosphere above the earth and even our neighboring planets. I1 Science Students Study Organic, Inorganic Matter Dominican offers science classes for all four years of school. Freshmen may take general science which gives a broad intro- duction to the entire field, or they may choose the particular field of earth science. Sophomores learn something of plant and animal life through their biology classes. In the junior and senior year physics and chemistry provide assistance to those wishing to learn more about inorganic matter. Students graduating with a four year background in these subjects are well fitted to major in this field in college. This also provides a good background for the nursing profession. Each year students of both science and mathematics are able to present the re- sults of their research and experimenta- tion at the annual science fair.
