Students in Basic Art, and Drawing and Painting may not be as good as Rembrandt yet, but they learn to make the most of their talent. Anyone popping into the art room is always sure to find such enterprises as hallowe'en masks, Valen- tine Mobiles, self-portraits, character dolls, and crayon drips. The Poster Club is a new addition to the Art Department at St. Agnes. Every Monday afternoon, its Freshman members are found with paints, brushes and ideas as they create catchy posters to announce all the big events at school. With all these interesting activities, no wonder enthusiasm always reigns in the art room. iw .. i an it ef

Some of the most pleasant hours at St. Agnes are spent in the Homemaking Department. Enticing aromas often float from rooms 112 and 113 giving positive evidence that our Betty Crockersn are gain- ing in proficiency. Frilly aprons and the latest fashions result from dexterity with needle and thread and the creative designing of the sewing students. Homemaking in a nut shell is given to Seniors in a special course, which helps prepare them for the effi- cient management of their own households. In November, students viewed with envy the elegant fashions modeled by members of the Homemaking Club in a fashion show sponsored by McCurdy's. Other activities of the Homemaking Club, such as a trip to the R. G. and E., add that extra touch of finesse to the talents of our homemakers.

Melodic strains of song often float through the first floor at S.A.I-I., and, if one should trace the origin of these angelic-like voices, she would discover that they belong to the girls in the Voice Culture classes, For the first few weeks of school, Sister Anne Virginia and Sister Ioseph Eileen help their musically-inclined students to overcome the fear of sing- ing solos, Then, after the frogs in their throats disappear, the girls ac- quire vocal finesse and even find en- joyment in showing off their voices to their fellow vocalists, Although not all the students in Music Appreciation Class can pro- nounce Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky's last name, they certainly are able to recognize his music when they hear it. Besides listening to Tschaikovsky's masterpieces on record, Sister Leo Xavier also takes the girls to the concerts of other famed musicians such as Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin. Whether taking Voice Culture or Music Appreciation, each girl acquires a truer appreciation of music, contri- buting greatly to her cultural back- ground. Culture, Freshman Chorus, I-Iomeroom 208.
