THE LIBRARY Here, while closely following the latest war events, journeying to far-ol? lands, or toiling on a source essay, we combine work with pleasure as we imbibe the knowledge of famous authors and poets and glance through a Scholastic or Good House- keeping on the sideline. AT STUDY VVe're glad the photographer caught the Freshies at study. They are always the most photogenic at that art, anyway. Shall we ever forget the Study Hall-that place of silence sacred for study? The scene of many pep meetings-and others not so upeppyn. SHORTHAND Commercial students work dili- gently to keep up the standards of the Gregg Classfmfo develop ef- ficiency and speed in both shorthand and typewritingfl YYhen the speed slackens, we have the musical records to jazz us along over that tricky keyboard. CHEMISTRY Science rules the world now as chemistry forms a vital link in modern warfare. In Seton's chemistry lab- oratory, lecture, and discussions, we are learning a technique that someday will help us to do our bit in all outl' war effort. .Quail to Know 41 LIBRARY lVIary Barrett, Clare Schild- kamp, Mary -jane Hinchy, Tommy Smith COMMERCIAL Miss Lucille Merkel, Anne Hudson, Bebe Spero, Marion Conway STUDY Margaret Kirk, Mildred Stra- kzl, Helen Kelley, Ann Don- nelly, Mary Miller CHEMISTRY Mary Mitinger, Virginia Tal- ley, Florence Derby, Janet Borland

The girls maintain that their newly ac- quired science has aided them in realizing how vitally important mathematics is, especially in time of war.
