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.

In our first year we study, in detail, the life of Christ. This gives us a clearer idea of the model we are trying to imitate. The object of the second year's study is a deeper penetration into the truths of our faith. We accomplish this by studying the teachings of Christ's Church. The intricate, but absorbing history of that divinely-founded Church is the sub- ject of our third year. For our Senior year we dip into Thomistic proofs for what we believe so that we may truly be strong and perfect Christians. The marks from our Religion examinations are on our reports, but our A'finals are in Heaven. CHURCH HISTORY IS A DIFFICULT SLIBIECT all Iuniors agree, but. as Anne Collins and Geraldine Benzing demonstrate on this chart, there are 2,000 years and billions of people in the Churchs history, so naturally it can't be put in a nutshell. 18
