Arrows pursue academic skills Armed with slide rule, name tag, sewing guide, and language tape, an Arrow comes to school well-prepared to unearth the unknown. Armed with lesson plans, patience, and sample tax forms, a teacher comes to school to teach, to counsel, to share knowledge. Hidden in an unfactored equation, or in the footnote of a language text, an Arrow finds knowledge. But he must go elsewhere to find wisdom; to the exercise of sportsmanship in ath- letics, to the responsibilities of on the Student Council, to the value of friend- ship when the school day is over. Successful in the academic world, an Arrow gives life to the beat” which will only be as strong as he is wise. anauj loEiL loESL arrow Faculty and Academics 9

Hub of school activities; °ffi ce proves perpetual motion; Principal removes divider In late August, changes were taking place in the high school office. A blue room divider was carried off and, hopefully, much of the intrigue surrounding the office of principal. Sister Agnes Charles hoped that anyone walking past the office could glance in and see her working there. But, Sister likes to be where the action is and so you can also find her at a 7:30 a.m. Student Council meeting, visiting classes or cheering in the rain at a foot- ball game. She pops up at committee meetings in the annex, send- ing tired Arrows home to rest. In between “extra-administrative” duties, she is also a coun- selor and administrative wiz. Her office light is burning at 7:00 a.m. as Student Council members serenade her to come and open the door” and at 7:00 p.m. after even the janitors have gone home. Her assistants include Mrs. McGuire, school secretary. Sister Rose Margaret, assistant principal and Sister Clare Charles. The blue room divider is long gone and with it much of the mystery of the office. But now, in the boundless, tireless energy of our administrators, the mystery remains. 10
