By far one of the most important aspects of an English class is the achievement of a competent facility in written expres- sion, especially that of a creative na- ture. This can be attained only through constant practice and systematic correc- tion of major weaknesses. With this as a goal, freshmen, guided by a checklist drawn up by the class, criticize one an- other 's compositions, helping one anoth- er to recognize errors and offering sug- gestions for improvement. .X I.. , as-W--H -,Z-H - V ,:,.. ap , - .crabs 1, - 'ir3 'iif31ti. . 3154! :dim I .. ,.,n- '- THAT 'owe Fun rcucu Smiles of Uiurnph light up the faces of challenger: and challenged alike as this group of Latin students from both first and second year classes emerge victorious af- ter a grueling vocabulary match. - lawn Zaacmea 77144564 7aa7ae4 Meal ,-gr glb 3 334: - L ,xask A fn rg- -f T lf - ' , 4526? 1 1.631 Blind man's buff?

In the library one finds the usual standard equipment for such a department -- the huge una- bridged Webster, the handy Readers' Guide, the indispensable encyclopedia -- but one finds also the light touches that add up to a pleasant atmosphere in which to' ' study, in which to browse, in which to discover the wealth that lies between the covers of a book. as a An expert at the charging desk, Joseph Schindler makes sure that Nor- ma Cline follows the correct procedure for checking out a book. At the reference section, Cecile Coldwell leafs through an encyclopedia. .james Ruck, Mary Ann McSherry, and Mike Neal just can't resist the temptation to sneak in a few looks as they unpack the fascinating collection of science books lent to the li- brary by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. 1 In one spot, the glossy green of ivy leaves brightens an empty spaceg a graceful statue, an intricate shell, a colorful book jacket all contribute to quiet enjoyment.

They are also key words in social life. just as one must be spiritually fit in this world, so also one must be physically fit to meet the challenges of work and play. Through instruction and practice, the girls achieve a higher degree of muscular coordination. More important, however, they are given concrete opportunities to practice charity and justice, virtues essential in every walk of life. Holy Family 's freshmen are learning that a watchful eye and quick reflexes are what one needs to play this national sport.
