Gay Catherinettes model the catch husbands. Sister Marion Patricia . . . of LANGUAGES or a taste of Ancient Classics and modern Romance languages both find a place in the curriculum of St. Agnes'. Latin, the universal lang- uage of the Church conveys the culture of antiquity. The legen- dary story of the Argonauts, Cae- saris COMMENTARIES ON THE GALLIC WAR, Cicerois orations and letters are found to have un- expected meanings for moderns. The labor of translation is often rewarded by the aptness of the thought for life as it is lived today. The study of French brings us to a knowledge and understand- ing of European customs that amuse and delight us.

Taught only to Seniors, it provides an opportunity to aquire at least a begin- ning of the skills that make for happy and profitable family living. It has been a new thing for students to have a row of hemstitching or a motif in crocheting for homework, or to be required to make a batch of Christmas cookies or cream puffs at home in order to gain credit on their report cards. Yet reports from other members of the family show that these beginnings have contributed to the fine art of getting along together. In Family Living Class, Seniors Margaret Ritz, Joyce Lappetito, Sharon Schoener, and Marilyn Judson learn to sew a fine seam. 21

Students who do not choose to study a foreign language may elect business sub- jects. At present that choice is somewhat limited both by lack of space and equipment, but courses in General Business and Business Arithmetic are offered. Practice in using sim- ple office equipment such as files and adding machines is provided as is experience in hand- ling the sale of merchandise, arranging attrac- tive displays and keeping sales records. Sister Michael Marya gives some advice about saleability of merchandise as Marilyn Adams, Janet Agostinelli and Patricia Wein- hart unpack the religious articles for the sale they conducted as part of their work in Bus- iness Arithmetic class.
