The Science Club Dear Diary, Science holds an important place in the edu- cation of an Academy girl. Three courses are offered: General Science, Biology, and Chem- istry. Thus a student is fitted for a career as a nurse, a laboratory technician or even a doctor. The school lab is well equipped with regulation tables and all the paraphernalia required for the many and various experiments that are per- formed. A first aid kit is ready for an emergency, but the students are taught to be serious and careful in their handling of chemicals and acids. Hence, the accidents have been few and far between, and they have been confined, for the most part, to broken test tubes rather than harm done to the students. The Lab has a great attrac- tion for some girls -others abhor the idea of spending two or three periods a week mixing the various chemicals in test tubes and retorts and waiting patiently or impatiently for the reaction. However, when an experiment is in progress, all eyes are attentive and each student is busy with her own Bunsen burner, eager to check or speed up the reaction. Who knows but what we have a Madame Curie in our midst. Sister Joanne Eliza- beth takes great pride in her lab. Seniors in the lab.

Seniors Dorethea is right at home in the lab. Here she is explain- ing her drawing to Phyllis who isn’t too keen on chemistry, but she seems to be listening attentively to her classmate with a bit of wonder. Senior English can be a bore . . . but not at St. Anne’s. Even the Seniors are ex- posed to Latin. Hazel aspires to major in English. In books, as well as in clothing, she is satis- fied only with the latest and the best. Music hath its charms . . . hence the Seniors take time out for a song. On warm days a shelter is sought, and very often the favo- rite place is the steps leading to the tennis court. Mother and the Seniors have taken refuge under the arch. Carolyn is often found in the chapel.
