Immaculate Conception
Academy puts primary stress
on study, as is well illustrated
by the large armload Of books
with which virtually every
girl energies as she leaves to
catch her trolley, bus or ride.
However, there are many
other activities, providing an
outlet for every talent and
interest.
The artistic can channel
their talents into the choral
or dramatic club. The glee
club entertains at many as
semblies, at PTA meetings
and at various homes for the
Sick and aged.
Budding thespians enjoy
the dramatic club. which
proudly displays several tro-
phies. In addition to the
yearly spring production and
the Christmas program. the
girls gain valuable experience
throughout the year in labo-
ratory productions, PTA
programs and assembly pres
entations.
In May the dramatic club
has been invited to partici-
pate in a one-act play tourna-
ment at st. JoSeph's College
in Emmitsburg, Md. The
girls are spending after
school hours preparing their
adaptation of saint JOAN"

The academy, founded in
1865, was located at Eighth

present location at Twenty

building which now accom-
modates the 335 students

The student body at ICA
could easily be the most
varied group Of any school in
the Washington area. Today.
as in the past. the girls come
from all parts Of the District
as well as from Maryland
and Virginia. There also are
students from Venezuela. Co

some of the girls visit an in
valid, a poor family or an
aged person. Twice during
the year the whole group
goes to a home for the aged
or infirm and spends an
afternoon.
Traditions are not contin-
ued merely because they have
been done that way in the
past at the academy. Each
year is a new year to the
faculty and students, and
many changes are made in
all aspects of school work
and activities. This is illus
