STUDEN 'I' ACTI ON N Kl'fFl'lNG with the high standard of studies and stud ents demanded hy our afliliation with the New England Asso- ciation of Secondary Schools and Acad- emies and with the Catholic University of America, our Academy offers a curriculum emhracing the full requirements for a clas- sical or college preparatory course and a secretarial course. Latent talent is hrought to light, incipient genius is fostered with care. a future career takes root in silence. Keen competition for scholastic honors is the order of the day, since many girls at- tend the Klountn on scholarship ohtained hv competitive entrance examinations. XVitli eager interest and genuine suspense, we await the posting of honors after the read- ing of the quarterly reports hy the Princi- pal. Honor Roll demands a general aver- age of QOH, honorable mention 352. 'lihose who are fortunate to average 852 for the year in any suhject are rewarded hv exemption from a final examination in that subject. Needless to say, the thought of this reward renews our lagging spirits when Spring-time tempts our minds to wander and invites us to enjoy the season
