I O Health Rules Find Application in Sports lENTTllQlGl-ITS wan .fi Maria Luisa Rocha and Barbara Kurske study facts on transfusion, part of the Academy biology exhibit at the N.D. Science Fair. The scales told the sad facts as the girls in health classes convinced themselves that a diet of ham- burgers and cokes was beneficial neither to their figures nor to their health. Poise and posture improvement were stressed by Miss Marie Buczkowski, head of the Buczkowski School of Dancing, who joined the faculty this year. Students soon learned how to make every bodily action both correct and graceful. Up and over! urges Mrs. Dunphy, as Theresa Wukovits and Sandy Milholich take their turns in volleyball practice. Physical education classes provided an oppor- tunity for putting health rules into practice. After a general tune-up of calisthenics, the girls chose their activities from a variety of sports, including archery, tennis, volleyball, and field hockey. During the first few days, sore muscles were evident but soon the girls were on their way to proficiency in their favorite sports. Miss Marie instructs, one, two, three-back, in her physical education class, where, through rhythmic exercise, posture and physique are improved. Mary Ann Lusson, Barbara Luken, Darlene Geraghty, Barbara Kurske, and Donna Baker show how it is done.

Basic Business Skills Lay Three-minute iaunts to Moreau Manor became daily routine for students taking shorthand and typing. The typing class en- ioyed a routine break and change of scen- ery, however, when it moved to the newly remodeled classroom. During the opening weeks, fifty-eight keys seemed too much to manipulate with only ten fingers, but practice improved both co-ordination and accuracy. Then the timings started. By the second semester, however, words came much faster than the ticking time-clock. Soon office proced- ure began and, though manuscripts and letters might have seemed monotonous, the experience proved to be very practical for term papers as well as for future writ- ing assignments in other classes. Those who wished to prepare for busi- ness careers, or who wanted to increase note-taking speed, which would certainly prove helpful in college, entered the short- hand class. A sharp pencil point became a necessity, for an extra dot or curlicue could alter the entire sense of a dictation. The talents fostered in these commer- cial courses were extremely beneficial to each day's classwork, in addition to laying the foundation for efficient secretarial work. Foundation for Future Success sr it 2 z 3 fr ' as I Sister M. Rosebia, always near in case of difficulty, watches Sharon Moulder and Nancy Bamber as they learn the correct shorthand symbols.
