These subiects, for the large part, deal with skills or practical knowledge. They add the spice ot variety to the daily diet of regular lessons, and run the gamut from gym to library science. Our library plays an especially important role in the intellectual development of the individual. Under the direction of Sister Mary Margaret, its shelves are kept amazingly well-stocked to aid the student in her search for knowledge. 40 l Q ,..-v ' K . i 3 5 2 YE thread 2'Z'5 in fi , 4' 23. gli ii' if 1 A' I ' ft' w f - 1' f X 1' -'.:I li 4 A S J ::: f ' ,,' V .ixe ff 'Q J 'M ' , ., 5 f ' 3 if Q 1 .3 A .ft e zu 5 3 f ' A a g ' Sister Mary Margaret, C.R.S.M.

Latin is both vigorous and rigorous. It vitally stimulates our minds, and we forge a vocabulary chain which links modern English with ancient Latin. But stern and austere is Latin, requir- ing long hours ot applied study and the memorization of endless rules. Sister Mary Assisium places the firm foundation of grammar in Jr. I and Sr. Ill, and Mr. Richard Ferry builds on this the classic structures ot Virgil and Cicero. Sister Mary Assisium 1' Jr. I Latin students, Kathleen Mullen, Patricia Morris, Edith Bradley, Janise Kuryloski and Ana Tinoco hope for hints for their coming test from Sr. II students, Jane Brogan and Kathleen Drummond. lye, Shakespeare imprisoned on tape is their goal: Maria Hasso, Carol Ann O'Connor, Anne Mahoney, Jane Mc- Laughlin, Sharon Kane, Sheila McNee and Molly Frantz. The beauty of the living languages unfolds in their flexi- bility and expressiveness. Sister Gertrude Marie and Sister Mary Hugh bring to their pupils the realization of the subtlety and delicate beauty of French. The laughter and the warmth of the Spanish sun are reflected in Mrs. Rose Fornadel's classes. English, native and therefore, perhaps, most fascin- ating, is brought to perfection of expression through the adroit guidance of Miss Jane Mitchell and Sister Mary Martin.

The highest form of art is the art of Chris- tian living. Dissimilar as art and home eco- nomics appear, they are actually basic parts of this same whole. Art, as the expression of that which is beautiful, is representative of the spiritual element of Christian living, hom'e economics is an important facet of the practical side. Under the direction of Sister Marie Lu- cille, our art department flourishes. Minor classes CJr. Ill through Sr. lllj and the Jun- ior High Art Club investigate the surface of the art field, Art Maiors, Sr. ll and l, in- quisitively delve into the execution of each phase of Art. Mrs. Virginia Bowman demonstrates in all her classes-Jr. lll through Sr. I-that much needed virtue, practicality. Future homemakers perceive the beauty in the truth of common obligations and begin to successfully fulfill their domestic duties.

History, especially American history, is a glorious thing to study. Throughout Americas advance as a nation, we trace the gleaming thread of God's Providence through the complex weave of govern- ment and politics. The history course originates with Sister Marie Carolyn's instruc- tion otJr. Ill and II. Sister M. Patricia Joseph highlights Pennsylvania's past for Jr. I.

Religion classes provide the intellectual background to help us better practice and, if necessary, defend our most precious treasure, the Faith. Taught by each homeroom teacher, our course, titled Our Quest for Happiness, is con- summated in Sr. I, as we come to the realization of that ioy and beauty which come only from God. The spirit of the times causes Sharon Ashman, Paula Offenbach, Helen Boyer, Ann McCullough, Everarda Castiglioni, Mary Jo Perkins to stop to admire the decorations for the Christian Mothers' Annual Charity Party.

The glow of love shines from the Prince of Peace on Helene Mc!-Xnally and Cathleen Hilterty. Alone beneath a mystery of veil concealed to meet a single substance, the Whole of which each part needs no other: as a sigh so moves on the sight ot its motion, circled all in the one breath: the star without the galaxy moaned in an ageless prison of tire, the orb where the Lover shines on the fuel of His light, extinguished, and becomes Himself the Beloved.

Inside, a gracefully arched bridge spanned the gulf between reality and fantasy, and be- came the entrance to our annual Harvest Moon Ball. An oriental atmosphere pervaded the gym, each softly lit corner and wall dis- played some silent token of diligent effort which had blossomed into exotic Eastern beauty this night. Crowning the evening with an orientally regal touch, Mary Barbara Uttal was chosen queen with Catalina Bala- guer and Ardelle Flohr as her ladies-in-waiting. And now the lotus blossoms have faded . . . but in that deepest vault of memory is stored, intact, all the magic and loveliness of our Teahouse of the l-larvest Moon.
