Mr. Wratni tries to keep the school warm, provides a welcome distraction outside of class windows on his lawn mower or snow plow and in general. keeps the mechanical wheels turning smoothly at S.A.H. Mr. Kipferl. or more popularly, Mr, Phil, is always on hand to move scenery or milk bottles or shine up a floor. Mrs. Schoenheit untiringly tidies up after us, her work be- ginning when our day is done and Mr. Shellman, our night watchman, keeps a watchful eye on St. Agnes High as the rest of the world is asleep. ii -.S EVERY TIME WE HAVE A DANCE Mr. Shellman has to make his protective rounds. shutting off the classrooms from the amusement area. loelnimd the Qcczme. 1 Il up-'pun l-V'-, TAKING ADVANTAGE of the s rin sunshine, Mr. Wratni P 9 retouches the paint job on our railing. 11 ffl.

Preparing home-style cooking for eight hundred girls is a major operation capably undertaken by the cafeteria staff. Nourish- ing, daily meals are planned by our dietician, Mrs. Maher, and served piping hot to the hungry students. Besides supplying us with regular lunches at minimized cost, extra food such as hamburgers, spaghetti, or ice cream are available on some days and usually in great demand, while the pre-holiday turkey and chicken dinners cause a long, long line-up. Many hours are spent in the preparation of this food by the cafeteria staff who are aided in their job by the use of modern equipment, and unfailing cooperation among themselves. Each member of the staff plays an im- portant role in contributing to the happiness and health of the students, and we are grateful to them.

OUR LIBRARY is one of the best sources of supplementary information for our classwork. QUIET, CONCENTRATED. PERSONAL STUDY. typified here by sophomore Ann Marie Rappl. is most necessary if we are to achieve the principle aim of our education. The main objective of any educational in- stitution lies in its scholastic life, its studies. Through learning we gain a clearer knowl- edge of our world, of Him Who made it and our particular duties towards both. Our years at Saint Agnes are parallel to life itself. Why do we find certain subjects easy and others more difficult? Obedience to author- ity so hard to perform, and charity toward our classmates at times seemingly impossible? Per- haps it is because the way of life is not down a primrose path but up a steep mountain. It follows that when we find cause for thanks in our studies we then become more grateful in that for uduch they prepare us-hfe. il'Ull0Lfli1'7'lU HF soc liouns: spent im studg
