WE BREAK GROUND Blueprints drawn up, architects prepared and wide-eyed children patiently waiting for the be- ginning of their mental and spiritual construction tell a story of progress. The Sisters of St. joseph, for three centuries renowned for their successful educatio l ' ' na methods, begin this huge task with the kindergarten. Using tools of love guidance, careful attention and the ever im ortant l , p essons of Religion, the foundations begin to rise. Of course, 'all work and no play make jack a dull b ,, . . oy. Therefore, sliding boards swin s doll 1 g , 5, football, and other activities welcomed during the year play an important part in the child's devel- o m- t d ' ' p cn an teach him the virtues of kindness fair play, and love for all mankind. Brick by brick the building of minds and walls progresses through the primary and elementary stages until it reaches the secondary level.

While the rest of the children are gayly playing among the autumn leaves, Carol Ann is mischievously debat- ing Michael's reaction to a shower of leaves. At last our dream is beginning to come true.
