The most skep- tical Freshies were convinced that from this muddy mixture pure water was actually produced. Freshmen Business Arithmetic stu- dents examine and discuss the busi- ness forms attractively illustrated on their bulletin board. C. Watson shows P.

They learned to change their signs, and to add to subtract, and to subtract, to add. Then Latin, Latin, and more Latin - forty-five end- less minutes with long-suffering Sister Jose- phine, with one eye on her, the other eye on the clock, and both ears strained for the wonderful sound of the buzzer. But they learned! In English class with Sister Elizabeth, the characters of the Merchant of Venice , Treasure Islandn and other stories became real people. They learned style in composi- tion, increased their vocabulary and became convinced that it paid to be educatedn. Com- mercial Freshmen tangled with business forms and with typing keys until they achieved co- ordination of mind and fingers Linder the efficient guidance of Sister Josephine Riccio. A record year! Upper classmen remembered their own antics as they watched the frisky Freshies trying to adjust themselves to high school routine. Nostalgic memories of by-gone days were revived as the fsophisticatedj upper- classmen viewed the sea of devilish faces they encountered in the halls. Though happy-go-lucky and carefree, the Freshmen proved themselves quite capable and willing, and they responded beautifully to the guidance of their homeroom teacher., Sister Elizabeth. Freshman class night reveal- ed all the ingenuity, dependability and abil- ity to perform which lay hidden beneath their rollicking and apparently irresponsible natures. Diamonds in the rough, the Freshies were slowly but surely becoming polished stones under the careful supervision of their home- room teacher. Trying to prove they are good mathematicians, the Freshman Academic students battle with an algebra problem. As M. Romeo, M. Rubba, and A. Tomas- sone, struggle through their last steps, V. De Nar- do smiles as she tfiumphantly completes her problem. Y-.. W Fq'.3 4 .YI mm U..

Oh, I'm s-o-o-h tired! yawns Sleepy as the high school students enjoy a rip-roaring time in the Sophomore magic forest of Snow Chattering away in the corridors until White and the Seven Dwarfs drawn reluctantly into the classroom by the threat of a demerit, the talkative Sophs got on to a mischievous start early in the year. An eventful and unpredictable day began with Sister Josephine's bookkeeping class where , they were introduced to debits and credits. With jokes and stories Father made religion , A easy. Study hours were synonymous with clock-watchingi' hours, A match with Julius Caesari' proved useless until Sister's dramatiz- ing brought to light the full import of the lines. While the academic Sophs retreated groaningly to a tussle with x's and y's, the Commercial students tripped' gaily into typing, particularly art-tvping. Cutting up a frog or a worm under Sister Ginetta's skillful direc- tion was the perfect ending of any dayll June found the Sophs stocked with a new store of knowledge and skills. r Y wing-MW., I ! r .sq-
