EXPECTANCY KNOWS N0 BOUNDS AT REGISTRATION The long-awaited but much-dreaded registration day has arrived! Over one hundred fifty would-be freshmen from all the parishes of the city of Akron come to register and to take placement examinations. Will they be able to do well? The pleasant smile of Sister Bernice, principal, seems to reassure them. Paul Stuhldreher bravely hands his enrollment blank to Sister, hoping that she does not notice the ink smudge in the left-hand corner. That's where his pen sputrered. Letizia Brunamonti is still laboring conscientiously over hers. This calls for her very best penmanship speci- men. What lies ahead they do not know, but Paul and Letizia and their classmates face the future at Saint Vincent with eager anticipation. 12

'Search out with care . . . lfLl 6e U25 Virtue must be cultivated persistently within us before it will manifest itself exteriorly. Our bodies, our minds, and our souls reflect the training we give them. Modern Catholic education is a potent instrument aiding us in this expansion, teaching good health as a definite responsibility, precision in technical skills as a source of satisfaction and service, and artistic appreciation as a cultural and aesthetic pursuit. A spirit of student co-operation with the advantages of supervision is evident at Saint Vincent. Frequent visits to church-browsing in the library-friendliness in the halls-daily noon-time walks, all these denote our desire for individual advancement and are important factors in our school life. We must fulfill our obligation to grow in virtue, to enrich our personal lives, and to conquer ourselves. 1 Make an effort to know thyself., St. Bernard

Lawrence Marzulli and Fred Ost are enjoying a joke as they make their way light-heartedly to school. Tom Aldrich, judg- ing from the thoughtful ex- pression on his face as he steps to the curb, is wondering about that tenth problem in last night's algebra homework. The buzz of conversation, punctu- ated by laughter, echoes through the school yard as the students begin to arrive for another day. WE GREET OUR CLASSMATES AND OUR l0RD Saddles and brown Oxfords reg- ularly mix to enter these portals to early morning Mass during the month of the Holy Rosary and on many other occasions. Our classes traditionally begin with a prayer, but here the stu- dents plan to open a day with the Perfect Prayer. The church forms a vital portion of our everyday life, influencing us to live our faith.
