Scientists and Mathematicians Under the guidance and instruction of the Home Economics teachers, the girls learned the essentials of a nutritious and savory meal. They taught their pupils to prepare delicious breads, candies, and cakes which made the Home Ec students very popular with their classmates. After learning the rudiments of sewing, the girls proceeded to create some very attractive clothing in accordance with their own taste and personality. By the end of the courses the teachers succeeded in giving future wives and mothers a good founda- tion in the rudiments of homemaking. Anticipating the interesting topics to be presented at the Mathematics Convention are Sister Catherine Mary, Sister Joseph Marie, Sister Mary Eugena, and Miss Joan Nugent. Discussing different types of records that could be used for dromatizing certain English works are Sister Mary Jose, Sister Mary Celine, Miss Mary Lou Jellen, and Sister Maris Stella.

Maintenance Crew Gave Gustre Horch smiles appreciatively as he receives a Christmas gift from Santa. The scientific-minded students were placed on a diet of higher mathematics. Step by step the teachers exposed these scholars to equations, theorems, postu- lates, logarithms, angles, and tri- angles. Their instructors watched with satisfaction as their young mathematicians grasped the in- tricate study of numbers. The knowledge of the science teachers was transmitted to the pupils through explanation and demonstration. ln biology the teachers took them into the realm of plants and animals, in chem- istry they advanced to a study of the composition of materials and their transformations, in physics the budding scientists were given a glimpse at more abstract phe- nomena, such as sound, light, and gravity. Under the guidance of the English teachers, the girls be- came more proficient in gram- mar, increased their vocabulary, and improved their writing style. Through 'practice the scholars also became acquainted with the basic rules for several distinct forms of literature, such as poetry, book reviews, and short stories. Graciously Sister Mary Paulette helped every girl who needed in- formation on any subject in the library. Much of her time was spent in maintaining the books and magazines, in deciding which current books would prove most interesting and helpful to the stu- dents, and in setting up clever displays to encourage good read- ing among St. Maryans. Through the careful planning of the kitchen crew, the students were provided with wholesome food, a great asset to efficient learning. has-Q Mrs. Gladys McCree operates the cheese slicing machine as she prepares for the next meal.
