. ! ' THESE COOKIES ARE GOOD! says Mary Frances Devine to loanne Schusterbauer, one of the younger guests at the Christmas tea given by the Homemaking I class. as Elizabeth Termotto adds her persuasion. Every course has two purposes - to learn from others' experiences and to prepare for our own. The Home Economics department ac- complishes both of these aims. Each girl is taught the arts of cooking and sewing. Every- thing from soup to pastries waft forth tempting odors to those passing by, and the sewing results do help in extending budgets and in- creasing wardrobes. In addition to these skills. we are shown the importance of the home and a woman's place in it, so as to prepare us for good Christian family living. IONATI-ION LOGAN WATCH OUT!

Sputniks. space ships and Salk vaccine have brought the scientific world into the spotlight during the past year. With international attention focused on these scientific milestones. educators throughout the nation have clamored for more science in our schools. In advance of this plea St. Agnes offers a science program geared to the pace of our modern world. Atoms, animals and anatomy, the basic ingredients of our learning, start us on our search for science. General WE'LI.

Sr. lVluriel directs this frog-dissecting. Science gives us a basic knowledge of our world and its surroundings. Nfagnetic fields, atoms in the air, and the elementary laws of physics are the foundation for this introduction to science. Biology. the study of plant, animal and human life. reveals to us the intricate and distinct laws of nature. Chemistry climaxes our quest for scientific knowledge. By performing experiments, learn- ing formulas and keeping up with this ever-changing field we become equipped for future studies in this significant area. causes gon tliamleegt img. Virginia Miller.

' A fra ff I - - - There is no virtue in study by itself. Study is not an end but a means. So spoke Arnold Bennett. The General Business course is designed to develop good business, common sense and a know- how of business techniques. In the typing classes we try to develop skilled typists for business and personal use. The Office Practice class learns to use efficiently many business machines and gains considerable practice in the use of the alphabet in filing. Bookkeeping is both an aca- demic and a skill subject. As the bookkeeping students soon learn, simple arithmetic is not so simple as it seems.
