Principal Shares spirit of students What is the secret of a spirited and successful student body? What is the motivating force that guides the students down the road to success? At St. Alphonsus the answer is found in the energetic and untiring principal, Sister Agnes Charles. Her daily efforts revolve around molding school policies and creating an academic but en- joyable school atmosphere which, in turn, helps mold the character of the students. Through her sincere interest in the students, she takes time out from the many duties of a principal, to lend an ear to a puzzled student or to share in a student’s successes. Quietly but efficiently Sister Agnes Charles keeps the school operating smoothly. Helping Sister Agnes Charles in her efforts is a capable and willing staff of assistants which in- cludes the assistant principal, Sister Rose Mar- garet, and the school secretary, Mrs. McGuire. Together with Sister Agnes Charles, they make up a team dedicated to St. Alphonsus and also dedicated to the entire student body.

St. Als provides vocational, historical guidance You say you are seeking information on various professional fields? Well then step right in to the Guidance Center and let your future plans take shape as you leaf through the many oc- cupational pamphlets and booklets. The Seniors especially find one another popping in and out of the Guidance Center as they are all quite aware of the many vocational challenges the future holds for them. The Library is another place where the stu- dents’ minds can wander into the historical past, the remarkable present or the astonishing future. The Library, serving as a research center for many of the students, stores much educational data, which has been proven to be more than useful to enthusiastic students. Intellectually, students cannot go wrong if they take advantage of these prosperous facilities or- ganized by the school.
