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. Biology offers joys and sufferings to the Sophomores and Iuniors with its exposition of that wonderful gift- Life. Our scientific study is climaxed as Seniors, in the formula-filled, constantly changing subject of Chemistry, With this background, all are better prepared for life in our science-minded world. g .

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.

Little white mice scampering about was a new sight in the biology lab this year, but before anyone could scream. some Sophomore member of the Agassiz Club was sure to come to the rescue. Under the watchful eye of Sr. Muriel, the club cared for mice and guinea pigs among its projects for the Science Fair. They also published their very own newspaper.

From December to February, members worked on such projects as crystallography, cloud chambers and polymers for the Science Fair. A dark room is spooky to some people, but to the Camera Club it is fascinating, especially when the pictures they have posed and taken appear. With the help of slides, movies and books from Eastman Kodak, Camera Club members are fast becoming proficient and competent shutterbugs.
