E T'S YEARLINGS BEGIN NEW LIFE B RRL Wi+h The shadow of grammar school s+iIl on Them, The under- classmen of Frosh B delve once again inTo The mysTeries oT supernaTural world of religion under The guidance of BroTher E. Edward. These boys will also dip Their Toes in The waTers of journalism in The F-B GazeTTe, and F-B Yearbook, pace- seTTers among WesT class publicaTions. The seeming impossibiliTies of algebra are drilled inTo Fresh- man E by BroTher Gerard JusTin. ImmediaTely aTTer digesTing a big lunch, They are asked To digesT such Things as linear equaTions and TacToring. ATTer waTching The board Tor The day's lesson, They are now on Their own To work ouT prob- lems. Algebra is The 'framework Tor The house of higher maThemaTics. Each SepTember, sTudenTs commonly reTerred To as Fresh are welcomed inTo Burrdom. WiTh The sTargazing sTare oT grammar school days s+ill linger- ing, They begin Their high school sTudies. lncluded in Their curriculum are Religion, LaTin, Algebra, World T-lisTory, and English. FirsT year Religion re- calls The evenTs in The liTe oT ChrisT while LaTin gives The bewildered Trosh his TirsT TasTe oi Toreign language. Algebra, The science oT incleTiniTe quan- TiTies, complemenTs The pupil's knowledge of ariTh- meTic. From prehisToric animals To modern day science is a long period Tor one subie-cT To cover, buT This is done, and done successTully, in World l-lisTory. Improving English grammar and enriching The sTudenT's vocabulary are Two aims OT The TirsT year English. The yearlings receive pracTical lessons in healTh besides a course in physical educaTion, commonly reTerred To as gym. ATTer a year of avoiding domineering seniors They loolc Torward To Three more years oT success. Four Freshmen Take in aT a glance The glories of WesT's VicTory-laden pasT. Perhaps The sighT oT The Trophies will sTarT These boys Thinking ahead To The Time when, as The TuTure Teams of WesT CaTholic, The iob of garnering fresh laurels will Tall To Them.
