PHYSICAL EDUCATION Body mechanics and rhythms is a course offered in sophomore service classes. The course aims to develop grace, balance and co- ordination as well as a high level of physical fitness. Through this course as well as the others in team and individual activities, in- cluding swimming, the Marycrest student has an opportunity to participate in a well-bal- anced program in physical education. C. Calderone, J. Bergman, and B. 0'Brien dream happily of future positions they as business majors will someday fill. 66 RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY Deeper understanding and a broader knowledge of the teachings of the Church are developed in the theology and philosophy classes at Marycrest. General outside readings supplement the class work in the Crester's search for Truth. Supplementary courses in logic and ethics, psy- chology, metaphysics, history of philosophy, and social philosophy round out the curriculum. SECRETARIAL SCIENCE Shorthand and office practice are two of the functional business courses taken by students ln the business department as a part of their career preparation. These courses together with an aug mented program in the humanities, mathematics, economics, and the social sciences, some broad courses in business policy, principles, and organ izational theory fit the business student for the occupation for which she is being prepared ln the diverse business world of today.
