This is the task con- fronting the student of sociology totlay if Cl1rist's principles are to control the world's activities. Tile Problems Discussion Club of the l'.O.D. Class has made national situations their immediate and most important concern in their daily sessions, especially the Congress featured on page 35 with Anthony Ohidzinski as guest speaker.

Some of the aptitudes developed are machine sewing. knitting. tatting. cro- chcting and needlework. as well as designing and the creation of becoming garments. Budgeting the family income and interior decorating of the home are given due attention. The brand new cooking etpiipment. installed in lfcbruary of 19-17, will service twenty-four students.

Boys have the opportunity of developing their in- nate ability along the lines of commercial art and interior decorating. The classooms of the Alma Mater show the work of these enthusiastic artists.

Scientific What could be more interesting to the youth of today than a progressive subject like science? Only students with scientific minds and abilities can be qualified to master a really difficult subject like chem- istry. On page 37 Ruth Lilly trightj and Mary Ann Kraemer are weighing out materials for a complicated experiment re- quiring accuracy and intelligence. Biology includes more than dissection of animals and preparation of specimens. They are only studied insofar as they ex- plain and clarify human functions, The Sophomores tpirturetl at leftl study it as their required lab science. Commercial Learning to operate ollire machines is one of the aims of the commercial courses ollered at St. Micltael's. lfranris Doerschner. pictured on page 37 flltllltllllb, operates the mimeoscopc while his relief man, Ed- ward Mours. assists Ann Stubenrauch at the mimeograph.

Pictured here are six Sophomores receiving their share of education in one of the ele- mentary branches. geometry.
