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

Linguists go international visit Chaucer; Caesar This year a hard-working Arrow could set out to tackle an exciting foreign language like Spanish, French or Latin, or he could devote himself entirely to a mysterious tongue called English. In mid-September his journey to some faraway destination began. If it was France, Monsieur Headley was his guide. If his goal was Spain, Seniorita Morales led the way. The 108 Time Machine left him on the Appian Way. A bi-linguist could mix his abilities and take the “Grand Tour” through French, Spanish. Latin and English in ten short months! But, if he’d rather “see America first”, he could step right into 204 and Sister Marie Annette’s English class. All-American revival sessions are held for anyone lucky enough to stumble in. These sessions are as traditional as apple pie and baseball. “Ambiguous words” and “key concepts” are tossed back and forth as precises are carefully written and students discover that in America, as in Ancient Greece, “man is man”!
