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.

Each position is recognized as honorable, and each carries with it great responsibilities. Gold tassels worn on the academic cap distinguish members of the Student Council from other members of the student body, VThrough this Council the entire student body is given an opportunity to participate actively in the government of the college. The Council meets on the Tuesday preceding the monthly student body meeting. The president presides at these student body meetings where all student business is transacted according to 'l' illlll CIL strict Parliamentary law. The vice president acts as the temporary president of the fresh- man class until their official election in De- cember when leadership has been given suffi- cient time to be recognized. The secretary has the duty of keeping accurate records of all meetings, both the Council and the student body meetings. The financial status of the student body is checked by the treasurer, who makes her report at each monthly assembly. The auditor's special responsibility entails checking over the accounts of the various class and club treasuries. Commissioners attend to their own assigned duties, while the presidents of the four classes report and speak for their classes on business matters. Sister Mary Giovanni, dean, is the modera- tor who advises the council members about all college government regulations.
