Page Twenty Interesting The Ursuline Youth who is en- dowed with special artistic talents is afforded an excellent opportun- ity to develop his talent. Long hours of work are required to com- plete a portrait, the painting of which is a specialty of the ABT students pictured here. Charles lones is putting the finishing touches on a portrait of William Bothbauer. Mary Elizabeth Con- recode proves to be an ideal sub- ject for the talented Mary Audrey LaVan, while Iosephine Montella seems to find little difficulty in pro- ducing an excellent likeness of Margaret Whitmarsh. Another subject preparing Youth for later life is TYPEVVBIT- ING. In the typing class students are trained to that speed and ac- curacy necessary for the capable secretary. lim Cantwell smiles confidently as his nimble fingers fly over the keys of his typewriter. lack Greene points out to Bob Lamb an error in a mimeograph copy and suggests a simple rem- edy for the mistake. By constant practice these typists have ac- quired efficiency. The HOME ECONOMICS class, popular among the girls at Ursu- line, gives them a valuable train- ing for later life. ln this picture the girls try their hand at the culi- nary art. Grace Maloney, leanne Conway and Catherine Mcl-lugh mix the ingredients of what will soon become an excellent choco- late cake Cthey hopel. Florence Foley regulates the oven: Helen Guerriero shows herself no novice in the art of can-opening. lt seems doubtful that this conglorneration of raw materials will soon become a cake, but we shall see. Cook- ing, sewingethese useful arts are part of the daily routine of Home Economics students. More valuable practice in the Business Training Class! Kathleen Murphy rapidly types, as she op- erates the Ediphone Machine. Bob Lamb, Dorothy Bidel, and Cathe- rine Austin operate calculating machines with speed anclaccu- racy acquired by constant prac- tice. Vtfilliam Bothbauer inspects the paper turned out by the ditto machine operated by lack Greene.

Classrooms Youth enters the realm of for- eign languages, where in Ursu- line, Bill Mathews takes over pedagogical duties to explain an especially difficult passage from Virgil to an interested group of Ursuline LATIN students. Discus- sion of the works and customs of the ancient Romans and their contributions to later ages lighten the monotony of mastering the sometimes complicated verses of Virgil. Stimulating class discus- sions constitute an important fea- ture of this class. In the second picture members of the FRENCH class lend a help- ing hand to their classmate, Alice Morrison, who seems to be hav- ing some difficulty in translating a letter written in French, by a high school student in Belgium. Youth corresponds with youth, and it is found that the Belgium students have much in common with the Ursuline Frenchrnen. This correspondence between the students of Ursuline and those in another country makes the study of French more interesting, and af- fords the students an opportunity for intimate character studies of their foreign cousins. Ursuline SPANISH students make a thorough study of the lan- guage of Castile and delve into Spanish history, art and liter- ature. The recent war in Spain has stimulated interest in the lives and customs of the people of the land of the caballeros and the conguestadores. Through a study of the paintings of such Spanish masters as Murillo, Valazquez, and Goya, the stu- dents have acquired an intimate knowledge of The Land of Legend and Song. The STENOGBAPHY class has made remarkable strides towards perfection in the art of taking rapid dictation. Mary Catherine Eagan is here shown pointing-out and correcting the mistakes of a classmate. The class pays close attention and each student profits by the mistakes of another. The valuable training which these potential secretaries are receiving will prove invaluable when they enter the business world. Page Nineteen

Studies The sciences are ever popular with modern youth and the Ursu- line Youth is no exception to this rule. ln the BIOLOGY class the students study the origin and life- history of plants and animals. In the picture Mary Lettau exhibits a specimen of fungus, while Bay- mond Morrison, with the aid of a chart, explains the different varie- ties of this cryptogamous plant. The biology class specializing in the study of plant life, has many opportunities for practical appli- cations in the spacious Ursuline campus. CHEMISTRY is not without many interested students among the Ursuline enrollment. lack Har- rison hopes to produce free oxy- gen-maybe he can do it, too. These scientists do remarkable things. Bill Kennedy successfully purifies some drinking water by means of filtration. lack Welsch's rather complicated experiment is a demonstration of neutralization. Genevieve Kollar and Gloria Elan- nery perform their respective ex- periments with such precision as to insure the proper results. This scene shows the PHYSICS class as the students Work busily on their experiments. Bob Ed- wards demonstrates a miniature hot water heating system while Iohn Fox carefully records the re- sults of his experiments lest the gold of knowledge escape him. Martin Lynch experiments with a different type of hat water heating system. lohn Keehner and foe O'Hara co-operate on the experi- ment to show the co-efficient of linear expansion of brass. This maze of lines and circles becomes simplified by the ex- planations of Bob Thomas and Iohn Keehner, both capable math- ematicians. A broad field of MATHEMATICS gives the poten- tial engineer or business man plenty of opportunity to gain knowledge so necessary in these fields. Speedy arithmetical calcu- lations indelibly imprinted in the minds of these mathematicians insures them of freedom from er- ror in figuring out income tax or -what have you. Page Twenty-one
