the way to knowledge Beneath the steady stream of Academy activities, class and prayer, there flows a recurring idea: the student of today is the leader of tomorrow. For the faculty, the future is the guide, the present is the challenge. For the student, the future is the goal, the present is the foundation. It is the teacher that molds the student's mind, guides the student's Will, and coun- sels her through religious instruction. It is through the teacher that the education and life of the Academy sound the call of greatness in each of its students. Mrs. Nathan King explains the mechanism of the typewriter to her first year typing class. Mrs. King also teaches office practices, shorthand, and bookkeeping. Sister Celine Marie, librariang efficiently pre- pares a new book for circulation.

doors to peace and friendship Traversing the barriers of the classroom, language transports us to various exper- iences in time and location - a quiet lunch at a sidewalk cafe in Paris, a Spanish holi- day in Madrid, a walk in the market place of ancient Rome, a day with our forefathers in early America. Competently guiding these tours, two English teachers, two French teachers, one Latin teacher, and one Spanish teach- er staff our language department, broaden- ing our cultural appreciation of others in the vast and interesting human family. Sister Ann Philippa and Sister Agnes, English instruc- tors, examine new material for use in their classes. Sister Ann Philippa moderates the Aeademites in their journalistic endeavors and Sister Agnes advises the National Honor Society. Language, music, and art are man's chief means of self-expression. Through a mastery of these skills a person is better prepared to ad- just and become a contributing member in our society. Here, at the Academy, skilled teachers in these fields aid students in becoming more aware of the beauty, the feeling and the use of our languages, music and art. Sister Eugenia Marie is in charge of the music depart- ment of Saint Joseph Academy. Sister gives piano in- struction to the Aeademites, conducts the sophomore and Cecilian choruses, and moderates the Sodality of Our Lady. I3
