STUDYING AMERICAN HISTORY is a serious matter with these seniors. M. Thiboult (left) has found some facts which interest L. Lamontagne and L. St. Pierre. DEVELOPMENT OF COLONIAL AMERICA is pointed out on the map by L. Remy and J. Bornaby during a discussion on early American life. From such humble beginnings did our great nation grow. FIRE PREVENTION WEEK is on example of how DA stu- dents cooperate in ci vic projects and receive training in the responsibilities of citizens. Y. Durand looks over the poster. AMERICA TODAY can best be studied from current events periodicals such OS Timeline and Our Times. S. Talbot and A. M. St. Yves compare their findings in the latest editions of these publications, to which all seniors subscribe. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS is an Amer- ican right exercised in school journal- ism. P. Letalien, E. Maltais, C. Perry and G. Nunes look over the program of the annual Publications Conference for Catholic Schools held at Merri- mack College, where students from all New England take part in panel dis- cussions and demonstrations, and re- ceive advice from experts in all phases of publication work.
