On the figurative side, daily fuel is supplied by developing abilities in accuracy, efficiency and responsibility. General Business and Basic Math are ground training commercial subjects. From there, business-minded girls soar up into typing, shorthand, and office practice. Running almost all school communications off on the ditto and mimeograph machines are constant short flights. Navigation in the business world broadens when members join the Business Club. Well- planned schedules of business reconaissance, such as visiting various business concerns, are planned by the officers.

It has been a rather generally accepted fact that mathematics and girls can never be close friends. However, here at St. Agnes, this idea is daily refuted as X2 and yz walk hand in hand with the Freshmen and Sophomores. Of course, Iuniors and Seniors are more particular in their tastes. Why, they wouldn't think of being seen with any- one except V b2-4aC or perhaps fQxl:2x2-fix. As the girls become better acquainted with these numerical comrades, they start to realize their true worth. No longer do they regard them merely as passing fancies, or worse still, as im- aginary nonentities. Rather, they View them in a new light, recognizing their practical usefulness and cultural value. ccu acg pnepanes TRIANGLES, CIRCLES AND RECTANGLES present right on Linda Sheehan were found by Mary Ann Kurzejeski, Ioann Hinz and Mary Hicks to demonstrate 'fGeometry in Daily Life. ,,.

Aware of all the wonders of past discoveries, they are con- stantly delighted - but not particularly aston- ished-by the unveiling of God's plan for the universe. Here at St. Agnes the Freshmen are first in- troduced to the intricacies of this field in General Science-a cursive study of this Universe.
