The National Honor Society ln Learning, Character, To be elected to membership in The National Honor Society one must possess these characteristics: Scholarship: which in- l.9GClGSl'1ip, CI1 iCl Service cludes the capability of doing independent work, of having acquired habits of study, and a love for reading and research insofar as it is required at high school level. Leader- ship: the ability to exert that type of leader- ship which directly influences others for good. Service: the willingness to render Worthwhile service to one's school and com- munity. Character: the demonstration of the highest standards of honesty and reli- ability and those desirable qualities of per- sonality, some of which are poise, stability, friendliness, and cheerfulness. Surely students of such calibre today should become leaders of tomorrow. The eighteen seniors pictured above, who have been carefully selected by the faculty, leave behind them a record of which they may justly be proud. Page Twenty-two

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

The ' J Senzors Mary Lettau Vice President ,,,- Ioseph Anzivino, President Jeanne Conway, Secretary Graduation from high school is always the commencement of a new era. For us graduates of l939 it is a peculiarly new era. We enter upon a changing world. As has been said, . . we are living in a kind of interval of history, in a duration of formlessness and fury. lt appears that the 'modern' civilization of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries is disin- tegrating and a new clear world order has not been composed. We feel that our truly Catholic training at Ursuline has prepared us to live in the world we are stepping into. Ursuline has given us an education and a culture vital in Christ. For all that they have done for us we wish to express our sincere gratitude to our principal, Father Gallagher, to our assistant principal, Father O'Dea, and to the devoted Faculty. ' Ere we leave the portals of Ursuline we pause to bid a reluctant farewell. Our farewell however, is addressed only to the school. Never will we bid farewell to the ideals and the principles inculcated in us by our dear Alma Mater. THE PRESIDENT. Francis Hurley, Treasur r Senzors
