We hope it Love - the basis of our faith - is emphasized in the course of the religious studies which Immaculata offers her students. The Immaculatan considers deeply the dogmas of her Church to enable her, in the materialistic and atheistic world of the twentieth century, to better live and defend her Faith. Through her searchings into the philosophical sys- tems of the past, she acquires a better comprehension of their influence on the thought of the modern world. Her own basic philosophical studies, however, are of the Scholasticism of St. Thomas Aquinas, the focal point of her way of life. The Immaculatan derives a deeper love for her Creator and a greater appreciation of her Faith from her deliberation of religion and philosophy - a love which she will pass on to her children and her childrenis children, These studies serve her well for they are the directing principles on her journey to the perfection for which she strives: the perfection of the Eternal Woman. wi: ' Eiscrgulg J, .7 wonlt be too difficult!

Hours are spent in the music rooms painstakingly practicing both vocal and instrumental assignments. However, subject matter, such as the history of music, orchestration, and teaching methods, being so vital to the attainment of perfection, must also be mastered. Then, through self-criticism and that of her teachers, her potentialities and prog- ress are evaluated on her mastery of those skills and techniques so essential in forming the true musician. Senior music rnajor, Barbara Koysla, watches classmates Helen Dawson and Kathleen Doutt approvingly, as they join hands in a duet.
