Independence in History Class 5. UW-'h t H53 M . s, 1 Marcia Michalski Mary Ellen Milewski Diane Mikula Dorothy Miller Realizing the power and magnitude of the United States, the iuniors came to fully under- stand the history of our country. A study of the infancy of our country thrilled the girls as they lived again the struggle for independence and the writing of the Constitution. By studying the Con- stitution, though it was sometimes difficult to under- stand, the juniors learned the fundamental laws of our country. In the Our Times magazine, they saw how these laws are upheld, or sometimes abused, in our present era. Though American history involved a bit too much memory work to please many, the iuniors somehow survived. Sister Mary Paulette was soon able to recognize the faces of the many iuniors as they labored in the library to fulfill the outside reading requirements. But there were bright spots also when on those lovely days the movie projec- tor and screen were wheeled in at the beginning of class. Especially delightful were those movies with animated cartoons and technicolor! - v r rf?

S SM i v 1, if Eyes on the copy-keep the carriage moving, mused the iun- iors as they concentrated on the proper rhythm. ln September this art of typing seemed to be myri- ads of miles away and equally difficult to master. Gradually, however, as those 25 words a minute finally came to number 50 or 60, the iuniors took pride in earning high ratings on the timed tests. Typing often pro- duced unusual and humorous re- sults when a word like fingers came out as fubgers ! ln preparation for life in the business world, many iuniors took general business. Though some- times confused about the differ- ence between a share of stock and a bond, the girls received a foundation for the specialized studies of business. This course offered to the girls the skills which would enable them to secure good iobs in the future.
