The walk back should be much easier. You'll notice it is all down hill. I shall now take you into the art studio. l wonder what course is being taught this after- noon? The extensive curriculum of the Art Department offers courses to suit each and every one of our talented artists. Under the guidance of Sister M. Francesca and Miss Helen Cole, students may engage in any num- ber of courses, such as 'Arts and Crafts, Fashion Design, Oil Painting, Water Colors, and Still Life. l just love to wander around here look- ing at the different paintings on display, how- ever, we must be ever onward! Tempus does fugitl l won't have to tell you what courses are being taught in this wing. You will know for yourself as soon as we enter the door.

we agree whole-heartedly with you that we have a superb faculty and we are indeed extremely fortunate in having them as teachers. I imagine you, like I, could spend the rest of the day in either of these two wings, listening to the musical renditions of the pianists and voice students but we really must be hurrying along if I am to show you the rest of our col- lege, Here we are back in the heart of class- rooms. My how the minutes do fly! Here it is almost time for dinner, but since we do have a few minutes to spare, let's stop in this class- room. The professor you see in the front of Sister M. Francesca gives Marietta Tripician a few hints on improving her oil painting. Sister Mary Grace explains a point to the Biology class. Sister Mary Peter . . . checking and double-checking the freshman science students. the room is Mr. Burke and at the moment he is taking a class of freshmen in Composition. Both students and teacher look mighty inter- ested, don't they? Oh, there goes the I2:35 bell and it is time for dinner. I must admit I am very hungry and you too must be. Right this way to the dining hall. They say there is nothing like a long walk after dinner. Shall wetry it and see just how true the saying is? This winding trail will lead us to the Casino and the college library. I see we are not the only ones headed in that direc- tion. See that group of girls ahead? They must be seniors on their way to spend the afternoon at the library in doing research for their theses. Well, here we arel A little up hill, wasn't it? But then well worth the effort, to see the li- brary and to meet our librarian, Sister M. Patrice. Oh there is Sister now talking to some of the girls. The dark haired miss, sitting at the desk at the entrance is Miss Heath, her assistant. Whenever we need reference mater- ial in any of our courses, we head for the library and call upon Sister, She is always ready to help us, and would you believe that she knows the location of every book in this library by heart? Passing through this door we will enter the gym. Here many an hour is spent enjoying diverse sports, My, but there is a lot of acti- vity here this afternoon, but then you will nearly always find the gym full of activity any afternoon of the week. Our gym director is Miss Comeau. Do you see her over there in4 structing those girls in basketball? And down at the other end of the gym there is a volley- I53

Gerry San Antonio, our faithful altar boy. Patrick Gavin our man-about-cam us is I p I ever ready to lend a helping hand. My, what a conglomeration of odors and flasks! Chemistry always did intrigue me. It is such a fascinating course-almost in the realm of magic, I would say. The nun working in the laboratory is Sister Mary Peter who is in charge of the Chemistry Department. And here next door is the Biology laboratory with Sister Mary Grace in charge. It does resemble a zoo somewhat with all the animals, but they are quite inanimate, I can assure you. These students who appear to be freshmen are working on drawings of various experi- ments they have conducted. Let's take a quick look in the Physic's lab where Miss Marino is working at a machine with her students. Listen -it sounds complicated and it must be, we had better not disturb them. Crossing to the other wing we shall enter the Home Economics Department, headed by Miss Ruocco.

You will notice that the room is an exact replica of a modern kitchen. Miss Judge conducts classes in sewing. So there certainly should be some well-prepared future housewives here. There goes the 5:I5 bell and the end of a day of classes. Once more the arcade will be bursting with students all waiting to enter the dining hall for supper. Sister M. Sheila will lead in saying grace and then supper-table con- versation will begin similar to that at break- fast this morning. Problems met during the day will be presented tolbest friends and solu- tions will be discussed. Please stay and have supper with us. I shall walk with you to the main gate and bid you good-bye. You don't know what a pleasure it has been to show you our college today. I hope you have enioyed your tour as much as I have enjoyed taking you on it. Do come and see us again soon, won't you?
