How lovely! exclaims Sister Mary Mercy as Patricia Smith, Judeen Jacobson, and Valerie Dahl model the skirts that they have silk screened. In the midst of turning mo- biles and flying paint our artists of the future toil dili- gently over partially completed masterpieces in the fifth floor art studio. Under the careful directions of Sisters Mary Faith, Mercy, and Venard we developed our skills and talents in the fields of oil painting, silk screening, ceramics, and iewelry making. Whether it was an abstract drawing or realistic figures, the thrill of seeing our creative ideas transformed into con- crete obiects was great. At the annual art show our obiective was reached when our completed masterpieces were hung for all to view. What a thrill it was to have our paintings and ceramics praised by our fellow students and family. -1 1. Accepting some valuable tips from Sister Mary Venard on the correct art of brush painting are Louisa Walters, Barbara Falteisek, Barbara Pinter, Marilyn Baranowski, and Bar- bara Wiktorowski. ef ff Ne-11, fr, ,145

As the obiective of the business course of our school is to prepare girls for a successful life in the world of business, we were taught all phases of office work with the aid of many modern machines. As iuniors we came face to face with a typewriter with that stick- ing tabulator key or the back space key that wouldn't back space, a shorthand book which looked much like Greek, and a General Business book full of dif- ficult problems to be solved. lntrigued with shorthand are Juniors Nancy Barbian, Nancy Lemmer, and Kathleen Martin, as Sister Mary Jose reviews the day's lesson. We seniors who wished to continue our business course entered typing ll, shorthand ll, comptometry and bookkeeping classes. We performed actual work on transcribing, duplicating, and calculating machines. Equipped with the knowl- edge of these machines we have been enabled to enter the business world or perhaps to go on to further our business education. Along with business classes many little problems confronted us as running out of typing paper before that important l0-minute timing, forgetting envelopes needed for addressing, doing the wrong page for General Business homework, and not making enough spaces on the electric typewriter. These added a bit of misery to our day. But with Sister's many helpful suggestions our business world soon ran smoothly again. Where does this belong? , queries Rebecca Gonzales of Sister Mary lourdette, as Sister explains the techniques of operating the mimeograph machine to her and Lois Brylmczynski. 'Suv'
