The object of Catholic education is to cultivate and strengthen man ' s soul and body, mind and heart. With this in mind, we participate in the many activities of our school. Whether that activity is carrying out a new Sodality project, practicing for the operetta, or scoring for the Varsity, all are done to teach us how to take our place as leaders in the world as real Catholic-minded women.

FRENCH: To think, of French as a pleasure rather than an arduous task makes for easier learning. This musical language is still widely spoken because of its cultinal aluc. I shall con- tinue studying French, and use it in tlie Inline — perhaps to teach the coinse that I enjoyed so much. Anne Neubaleiz, ' 42 CHEMISTRY: Today in this scientific world, the knowledge ol chemistry plays a most im- portant part. It promotes the lUilization of common materials into necessary syn- thetic substances, so vital to oin- national defense programs. Through chemistry, we have built a safer, hcahliier. more sanitary and practical civilization, endeav- oring to maintain a better li ing for all. Jean Scheeser, ' 42 RELIGION: The center of all Catholic education is religion. We realize that today a Cath- olic must have a great knowledge and a great lo ' e for his faith. Through the en- lightening discourses presented by Father Connare, we have been trained to cope with everyday problems as real Catholics. Anna Marie 1)isc:iiinc;er, ' 42 BIOLOGY: Biology is one ol the most interesting subjects in the en- tire scholastic ctUTictUiun. It affords an ojjportiuiity to learn life, as visualized through an experienced eye. How to li e in harmony and enjoy the life aboiu you is, in itself, the fiuidamental attraction of biology. Frances Galardi, ' 42 LATIN: () lempora. O mores! Yes. it ' s that Latin Class in 203 again. These students of the dead language are anything but that. The class has a remarkable record for general all-aroiuid pleasantness and joviality but yet maintains its status of a typical Cathedral class. Natalie Certo, ' 42 GEOMETRY: Angles! Circles! Cidjes! Triangles! If ycju need any information on these geo- metric figures, consult the nearest jiuiior fcjr a detailed ex|)lanalion. In Septem- ber, eight plus eighty-one bewildered juniors straggled into Sister Norbertine ' s class and decided to grin and bear it — now ' e just grin, for geometry is one of our favorite subjects. The study of geometry is a necessity in the designing field. Kay Englert, ' 43 ENGLISH: F.nglish has come to mean more than mere grammatics — it is ital, ali e and interesting. ' e ha e dealt with writers, their li es as well as tlieir works: we have relixed the periods and de elopment of our literature and language. I have ap- preciated my English courses. l)ei)eliied greatly Irom them, and will make gcxxl use of them in the tut lire. Agnes Meade, ' 42
