raphy. SISTER MARY SHELIA accom- plishes a big task in her American History, Democracy and two junior English classes. In the Home Economics depart- ment we have the much-appreciated portion of the faculty-those who teach the practical arts. The study of the art of Clothing takes on charms when SISTER MARY LEoNII,I.A re- veals its glories. SISTER MARY WIL- MARIE, to whose efforts, mainly, we owe the beauty of the Home Ec Lab, does justice to Foods and to Home Economics Survey classes. MISS INIARY JANE POLLOCK easily man- ages equal classes of Home Manage- ment and Foods, numbering four in all, while MRS. ANNE SIMPSON of the American Red Cross makes her semester course in Home Nursing both practical and appealing. The department of languages is always interesting because of its va- riety of offerings. And that goes for the teachers, too. In the HParlez- vous francais? section of this de- partment we have SISTER NTARY FLORICE teaching the second year, as well as classes in Latin I and II. French I is handled by MISS LOUISE SCI-INEE, P.N.D., who also treats the freshmen to General Math and Algebra. SISTER INIARY CAROL reigns supreme at the Spanish side of the language table, while SISTER lWARY JULIAN claims the same honors as teacher of both German I and II, adding to her interests a class in Algebra for freshmen. The Latin department is further embellished by SISTER lvl.-XRY REGIEN, teaching Hrst and second year classes, as well as one class in ninth grade English. Enthusiasts have termed the school library the 'lheart of the school, even its 'fsoul . VVell, whatever it is, this we know, that our librarians, SISTER lVlARY CHARLES Hlltl her able assistants -- SISTER MARY MANU- ELLA, in the library itself, and SISTER NL-XRY FERRER at the very important work of reconditioning books--give real service and supplement class- room teaching of library science. The importance of the department of lNIathematics has come into great- er prominence due to the need for precision calculating that arose with the recent War. SISTER IVIARY FRANCES gives the groundwork of this very important Subject to fresh- men and sophomores in General Math and Algebra classes. MISS INTARY IVIARGARET CUSACK does im-

classes, with an additional interest in Business English. The department of English has a somewhat larger group of full-time teachers. SISTER MARY ST. THERESE is leading three groups of freshmen through the rigors of hard-headed grammar, not neglecting, however, to give them a proper introduction to the beauties of literature. Two parallel classes are taught by SISTER MARY LERoY, who also conducts speech classes, in which students find opportunities to prepare for platform and stage speaking experi- ences, besides helps for overcoming shyness and stage fright. On the sophomore level, SISTER MARY VIR- GINETTE carries on the good work, re-emphasizing the importance of correct written and oral expression. She is seconded in' her effort by SISTER MARY LEOLA, likewise teach- ing three sophomore English classes, plus Types of Literature, a course which in semester two, takes up where her journalism class left off at mid-semester. lt is in the Journalism class that students with a verve for writing get the excellent training that has produced our much-honored and awarded school paper. juniors acquire a better understanding of the spirit of our great nation through a study of its literature, three of which classesin American Literature and language are taught by SISTER MARY KATHLEEN. The delights of English Literature and the importance of Practical English are shown to sen- iors by Sister Mary Luke, in addi- tion to her classes in Latin for juniors and seniors. As we continue the listing of our faculty members and the classes taught by them, especially as we have known them in our senior year, we find another familiar group in the department of History and Social Studies. SISTER MARY AGERA makes history vital in her classes in Amer- ican History and Sociology, for juniors and seniors respectively. SISTER MARY AIMEE does the same for both juniors and sophomores. SISTER lNTARY AMBROSE 'fstrikes a highl' in her grade nine history and social studies classes, and in her equally vivified Economic Geog-

portant follow-up Work with classes in Geometry and Advanced Alge- bra, also teaching General Science. In the department of Music, SISTER lVlARY CECILIE, teaching the beauties of Choral singing, has de- veloped her students to the point of making it possible for them to join with the Glee Club and participate in Notre Dame's classic, the annual Spring Concert. Physical Education classes, large and small, offer MISS ELAINE MAYER no end of opportunity to check posture and to teach means and methods of keeping in trim . The department of Religion, its subject being the key-subject in our course of studies, claims by far the largest number of teachers, since practically every Sister on the Facul- ty is engaged in directing a home- room, for which group she also con- ducts religion classes. Added to this group is FATHER N ATALIS WEIILNER, O.F.M., who meets each homeroom class on both the junior and fresh- men levels once a Week. But religion is by no means an isolated subject at Notre Dame. It is correlated with all other subjects, it is the basis of all our learning, and gives real mean- ing to all our studies. Z , Q . f . t AA :Q N Wifi 0' - yl Q- -I The final subject department, al- phabetically listed, is the Science department. SISTER MARY How- ARD does full duty in her classes in Chemistry, Physical Science, and Physics. SISTER MARY MICHELLA clarifies the mysteries of Biology for large groups of sophomores. MISS DOROTHY FIIREY, P.N.D., teaching in Chemistry, also assists in the de- partment of Mathematics, teaching tvvo geometry classes. And last, but by no means least, on our list of teachers is MISS MARGARET ROH- NER, P.N.D., With a keen interest in chemical research, teaching Chem- istry and Biology. As you see, We have made no at- tempt to praise the Work done by our teachers, because we believe that any
