'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.

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.

Pius Sister Mary lsabelle's cashier booth was always busy while she delivered many kind words with her toothsome candy. To Sister Mary Qguina we went when paper supplies ran low and pencils disappeared. Her stationery department was ever ready to oblige. ln the middle of each day, we forgot our studies while we discussed the latest news over Sister Mary Thecla's delicious desserts and Sister Mary Rita's tasty meals. With Sister Mary Pius, we learned to play the piano, and we had only ourselves to blame if we did not become young Paderewski's. ln the seventh and eighth grades, our younger sisters learn geography in an interesting fashione- by displaying the story of coffee in their handmade miniature theatre.
