l 'Nw 'km THESE PEOPLE WERE THE STRONGLY DETERMINED SUPPORTERS of Democracy in the school contest. Waiting for their turn are Joseph Clark, Barbara McDermott, George Scherban, and Patrick Caton, while Dorothy Muehlbauer is entertaining the faculty and student body with her essay. The Social Studies Department at Norfolk Catholic High School is a most influential factor in the curri- culum of the students since all must satisfy the graduation requirements of American history and govern- ment. In these courses the students are not only presented with facts, but also with the Catholic approach to problems in government and social life. These viewpoints will be invalu- able supports to future Vatholic lead- ers and also aid in forming opinions on current issues. The classes are en- hanced by student reports and talks, discussions, and student participa- tion in local and national contests. This year Norfolk Catholic has been very successful in contests on such topics as I Speak for Democracy, and t'ivil Defense. An American Tradition, as well as thc American Leg:ion's oratorical contest on the ll. S. Constitution. The help, rendered the contestants in particular and all the students in general, will he long appreciated.

Reflect their training MISS NANCY SPURR.

Mt ,Ala it? it Alf IN A RECENT TOUR to the Naval Supply Center, some members of the Business Club are being shown the finished product of a very intricate photographic machine, From the opening day of Norfolk Cath- olic High in September, 1950, one of the most important departments of the school has been the Business Department. Of course, the main purpose of this depart- ment is the education of those desiring to enter the business world as typists or stenographers. During the course of this instruction, however, the department per- forms much of the office work of the sch oo l. This enables the student to ac- quaint herself with the various duties of a typist or secretary. Another function of the department is the operation of the Business Club. The junior and senior students of the business department are the members of this club, whose main project is the publication of the student directory. The profit realized from this and other smaller projects goes toward the purchasing of a business ma- chine for the department each vear. Two of the electric tvpewriters and the comp- tometer were obtained in this wav. The excellent business instruction the students receive in this department and the experience acquired through member- ship in the Business Club are a credit to Norfolk Catholic Hifrh. The success of our past graduates in the business world is a living reflection of this excellent training.
