Alver- nia High School. but with a different goal in view from that of the day students. As teen- agers they expend energy in diverse ways. Study, sports, socials. journalism, housekeeping. and religious exercises fill their out-of-school hours and tend to harmonious living. Anything tastes good if it is prepared out-of-doors. Frances Green and Carol Rupprecht work as the chefs while Maureen Ryan. Bernadette Bronder. Helen Schell- hammer, Joyce Mielcarek, Kathleen Greer, Mary J. Campus, and Rose M. Ziegler enjoy the makings of .1 family picnic. Our Prep newspaper, All About Us , was started as a means of answering questions concerning Prep life.
