St. Patrick's spires symbolized new hope to European immigrants searching for a better way of life in America. Even though there are no spires reaching to heaven, St. Monica's represents the beauty of modern day architecture. .ff ' 'K . ' . ' .ll L 1 3 1 E3 .ml .e il 5 T 'D as is f i X J ' ' H iii! ts 5 Q ff. K ' 2 '2 By charting the progression of our country through two hundred years, we pay tribute to the growth and develop- ment that provides a constant change for many Americans. The modernized churches are a good example of the more conservative designed buildings of today, rather than the elaborately styled architecture of days gone by. Back when recreational activities were limited, families would gather together and participate in their favorite pastimes. Yet today's athletic events and recreational activities are so numerous and varying that almost everyone may do their own thing with fun and with flair. A most noticeable change that has been evolving through the years, is that of women's participation in the field of athletics. The idea of the female being the weaker of the sexes is constantly getting dimmer. The fashions of the two hundred years have also advanced quite far to the up-to-date fads of today's genera- tion. Jeans and bib overalls have replaced knickers and knee high stockings, no longer do people wear silver buckled shoes but the high-stepping platform footwear dominates todays feet, and only on special occasions are the long full length gowns that were common in those days, worn by today's modern woman. s 'fs - In the area of transportation, Americans have observed the birth of many new ideas and watched how these ideas have benefited their way of life. ln the beginning the horse was the main mode of transportation, but soon there were stage coaches and covered wagons carrying men, women and children into new and various frontiers. Next tracks were laid and roads were paved to make way for the lronhorse and horseless carriage. Then came the airplane and man is now exploring the frontier of outer space. Billiards was a popular and respectable diversion for the whole family. Scott Heppe and friends find that playing air hockey is a great way to spend an evening. Actually, getting together and having fun is still the main idea behind all recreational activities which have advanced only for the better. 6 Opening A Look at the New 0 , 1. FI QTY A A lill .Q l 9.
