The Senior homeroom teacher, Sister Mary Liguoria, aided us when we faltered in mathematics, and science be- came a never-ending panorama of natural wonders in the classes of our smiling Sister Mary Carrnelita. Sister Mary Rosalia teaches our youngest members the fundamentals of the threefno, fourfR's. Sister Mary Hssumpta's quiet dignity and kind smile gave us an example of the qualities we should acguire to become successful business women. History was a fascinating subject when brought to life in Sister Mary Benigna's classes. Their fine teaching and thorough training have given us excellent preparation for the future awaiting us. Following the way pointed out to us, we hope to become a credit to the Plcademy where we spent such enjoyable times. Interesting, enjoyable, and profitable periods were spent in the newly-equipped Home Economics Laboratory por- trayed on this page. 7. Home Economics Class 8. Sr. M. Liguoria 9. Sr, M. Carmelita 10.

nl . WITH OUR INTEREST Every day in every way, they help us to grow better and better. This can truly be said of the many Sisters who teach us here at the Qcademy, and whose patience and persever- ance are never-ending. Through the coming years we hope to keep bright and shining the knowledge and ideals they endeavored to instill in our hearts. Sister Mary Loyola, our Principal, fostered in us a love of good literature. From Sister Mary Imelda, lunior Homeroom Teacher, we learned the commercial tactics that will help us to make our mark in the world. With Sister Mary Paul as guide, religion took on new beauty and significance. French was a fascinating lan- guage, and France a land of romance when viewed through the eyes of Sister Mary Gertrude, and Sister Mary Ursula's soft voice made Spanish and Latin lilting and lyrical languages. Under the guidance of their homeroom teachers, Sister Mary Carmelita and Sister Mary Benigna, the Ninth and Tenth Grades made Red Cross utility bags to be sent to the Navy. 1. Sr. M. Imelda 2. Sr. M.

'If Each day we try to assimilate some of the infor- mation which the Sisters impart to us in classes. Every bit of worthwhile knowledge aids us to grow mentally and will help us to take an intelligent part in the mature world of tomorrow. Sister M. Beatrice's jolly smile and friendly manner were a never-failing ray of sunshine every day for all, in- cluding her seventh and eighth grade pupils. Sister Mary Plnne with gracious patience directed the efforts of the third graders in their tussle with learning. To Sister Mary Magnus goes our thanks for helping us to learn proficiency in the culinary arts. Mrs. K. Stoesser's gym classes, most eagerly awaited and most keenly missed of all periods, were a bright ray of light piercing the scholastic fog of the week. Freedom of assembly being one of our cherished rights, the Freshmen make use of it at their periodic class meeting. 1. Sr. M. Beatrice 2. Sr. M. Hnne 3. Sr. M. Magnus 4. Mrs. K. Stoesser 5.
