Class Hours . . . Within Seton's l-lalls We live in the present . . . but we learn from the past,', were the words Madame Chiang Kai-shek used in her speech to America. This statement reveals her dream of the future. And so-we study Ancient History and try to assimilate knowledge that will help us understand better the present con- ditions, and judge more accurately the future. In Math Classes . . we search in vain for x only to Find that it is always missing, we labor over selling pounds of mixed bonbons and chocolates, we construct triangles, circles, polygons, and draw intricate designsg we struggle with the weighty theorems of geometry. The Christmas exhibit showed the practicality of geometry design. On the home-front . . . we can contribute to the war effort by ac- cepting those positions which will relieve men for the armed forces. The commercial depart- ment trains us in this Field and encourages us to do our typing accurately and with the greatest speed. We realize that Victory can be gained only by perfecting the john we are doing. In Biology Classes . we never have a dull moment. Sister Mary Virginia is a lover of nature, and she is in her glory when she has us all working in the Victory Garden out beyond the cabin. Here we get our daily dozen, laying out our land, weeding, hoeing, and sowing. With eager eyes we watched our carrots, beans, and radishes take root.

Clang! There goes the bell with a bang-and the school day begins. For some of us the first period is spent exploring the mysteries of the scientific world. Here we learn the practicality and techniques of physics which will enable us to take our places during these vital days in the various fields for young women. ln Latin Classes . we re-live Caesarls wars and listen breath- lessly to Catiline's orations, or travel with Aeneas through his Wanderings. All the Latin students work eagerly for the yearly test which is given by the National Association for the Promotion of Latin. This test exempts those who make that required grade. 36 We Recall That! Leisure Time . is spent in the library venturing into far-off worlds of strange peoples with their fascinating customs. Or if that investigative theme is due, hours of research call us here to obtain material from various sources. Others keep apace with the everchanging events of the war by reading the latest in the 'gnewsfl ln Arl: Class . . we learned the basi: principles of design, composition, and sketching. Students made their sketches from real life-some of one an- other, others from Setonis lovely campus. The art exhibit showed individual designs on wood-work-jewel boxes, novelty trays, and even on bracelets and rings, the duration jewelry.
