SUCCESS HAS MANY PRICE TAC . Mrs. Titkemeyer and Mrs. Hart, the life of Gabriels business program, instruct more than half of the students in the school. Typing is the principle business course demonstrates 'home row. Shorthand, typewriting, and bookkeeping are the tradi- tional subjects taught in Gabriels High School's business program. The recent additions to our program include General Business, Salesmanship, Economics, and Office Practice. The subject of Bookkeeping is offered as a basis for understanding the nature of business. The typical old- time bookkeeper has quite generally gone out of existence and his place has been taken by the highly trained account ant, ledger clerk, and bookkeeping machine opertor. Shorthand and typewriting are parallel devices of great usefulness in the office. Shorthand is quite an intriguing subject for the young women of Gabriels. However, there is a growing realization that arbitrary standards of so many words per minute in shorthand and typewriting are not really job standards. Mailabi1ity, says Mrs. Titke- meyer, is the ideal standard. Recently more emphasis has been put on the courses of Office Practice, Economics, and Salesrnanship. taught here at Msgr. Gabriels.

HI TORY THAT TRA SCE D TIME Tom Wright, Freshman historian, 'reconstructs' Europe for Sr. Catherine Loyola, his World History teacher. Mary Beth Lepczyk delivers her 'one hundred and one' un- usual and interesting facts about Thomas Jefferson to the Juniors. The signing of the Declaration of Independence, the sinking of the Titanic, the tragedy of Hiroshima, Pope Paul's visit to the United Nations, the Gemini space flights are some of the important events in history that are taught in the classrooms of Gabriels. History and Government unite together in one cause, the cause of building a model citizen. They try to instill in a Gabriels student the good qualities of a citizen in tomorrow's world. Awareness is a major responsibility of a citizen. A good citizen learns to observe, to think, and to form his own opinion. History and Government form the background material for these, the citizens of tomorrow. Our History and Government teachers stress current events. Most current changes and advances in government can be learned from the daily newspaper. Here History is recorded from day to day. A newspaper is an important piece of literature in the teaching of a class pertaining to history or government. Mr. Cook instructs the seniors in Government. Sister Thomas More and Mr. Spanoli are two of the teachers who instruct the underclassmen in World History and Ameri- can History. Margaret Chapman, senior, opposes the admission of Red China at an assembly during United Nations Week.
