lVlCll'l'1SITlClllCS . . . lor the challenge seeker College-bound mathematics students at Presentation study basic algebra, plane geometry, advanced algebra, solid geometry and trigonometry. As a freshman, leaving the world of positive or- anges and pies for the land of unknown quantities where commodities come in sizes x-y-1 and colors a-b-c, Mary Sheehan struggled through algebra. When a sophomore, to whom geo- metric axioms became sec- ond nature, she learned to reason her way through problems. Finally as a iunior and sen- ior working through solid geometry, trigonometry, and advanced algebra she found that math became progres- sively more challenging, more tantilizing, and more fun! Girls with a trend toward business, find bookkeeping a stimulating and profitable experience. They may sharpen their wits with basic computation and practical math in their Freshman and Sophomore years respectively. Dilligence, persistence and mathematics Partners in Progress.

Business Education... Working diligently, Helen Prepou her knowledge ofthe business arts. tse adds mimebgraphing to skills for the tuture At Presentation High School the student receives a well-rounded and practical ed- ucation in business skills. Introduced to business courses in her sophomore year through typing, the stu- dent may take shorthand as well as sec- ond year typing in her junior year. Bookkeeping and secretarial practice round out the senior year. Secretarial practice comprises typing, shorthand and transcription as well as a working knowl- edge of mimeograph, dictaphone, comp- tometer, and electric typewriter. The sec- retarial practice class is run as a simulated office in order to acquaint the student with office procedure and requirements. Patricia Patton demonstrates to the class her ability to take shorthand dictation. Skillful hands and an alert mind are combined in prepar- ing Virginia Tringale for her future secretarial career.
