Cook, and Mrs. Calderog kneeling: T. Jimenez, l. Lucero, V, Dominguez, C. Olivas, B. Shaw and T. Merino. Mrs. Eva E. Caldero, a member of St. Emydius Parish, is a native of Taft, California. This is her second year at Pius X. She teaches physical education, and is in charge of the Freshman G. A. A. and volleyball team. She is naturally very interested in sports, but her hobbies are art, sewing, and cook- ing. Mrs. Caldero has travelled throughout Mexico with her husband and three children. Sister Mary Claude, C. S. J., devotes much of her time teaching Spanish at Pius X. When she can spare a few minutes however, she enjoys puttering in the garden, and listening to music, preferably 26 classical. Another hobby of Sister Claude's, is her keen interest in the study of architecture. One would think she would barely be able to find time for all of her activities, but she has travelled extensively in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. lt's not hard for Sister Claude to ex- plain the development of American lit- erature when she has such interested Juniors as C. Martinez, S. Santillo, and P. Neary.
