Realizing that education is a vital factor in the modern world and wishing to become apostles, zealous students work to attain Achievement throu h Knowledge Y 'N x S if if v --I i 1 66 ' 97 Teens in a royal atmosphere render homage as they reap the bene- fits of Regina's academic ideals. Through the carefully planned curriculum at Regina, students devel- op spiritually, mentally, socially and physically. While the Queen keeps silent vigil from her throne, her sub- jects are trained in the essentials of royal living. Built upon a rock foundation and supported by pillars of strength, the school seeks to promote tolerance, clarity of vision, the proper evaluation of human personality and the thought- ful pursuit of truth. These qualities are all based on genuine love for Christ the King. ln the academic, a college pre- paratory course, those who wish to go on to higher education find numerous opportunities to enrich their minds. Besides the regular classes, there are lectures, field trips and outside exam- inations geared to enliven and increase the intellectual caliber of each one. Business-minded girls are en- couraged to take a commercial course, as it teaches typewriting, stenography and also science, business law, book- keeping, office practice, and the use of machines so necessary in the modern business world. For girls who are inclined to- wards culinary arts or interior design, Regina has inaugurated a home eco- nomics course. It offers everything from the study of fabrics to home man- agement and child care. Freshman year is a year of preparation. The young student grows accustomed to the prevailing royal at- mosphere. ln the sophomore year, stress is placed upon the required mor- al foundation to continue on her jour- ney to the Eternal Kingdom. In the junior year, maturity in thought is the specific aim, and senior year finds a girl pondering and preparing for her true vocation in life. By the wisdom of the teacher, and the ambition of those taught, the students, search for happiness is made easier because problems are solved daily. From the lowliest freshman to the loftiest senior, a firm gaze rests on a most heavenly model, as each one journeys onward to her ideal. ima af glclucafing flue 0L Wall !0l' Cl gui cali

we As she lights the Advent Wreath, Letty Sue Clark proves the age-old saying, Actions speak louder than words, by putting into practice one of the customs of the liturgical year taught in Religion class. Each morning a representative is privileged to light the wreath while the students sing an appropriate hymn and recite the Advent prayer. In each Religion class, the girls are encouraged not only to learn their religion but to live it, both in school and out. Attention is given not so much to textbooks as to the formation of habits that will help the students become good Catholics. 4'9- Q
