ActivityNo Title (1 page)
SynopsisFour activities. The large block above is composed of 27 small blocks. If you paint the outside of the large block, how many small blocks would have 3 colored sides, 2 colored sides, and 1 colored side? This is how to tie a knot in a handkerchief by picking up the ends with your arms crossed as shown. The knot will appear automatically. Watch this figure and see it change before your eyes (optical illusion). Fill in the above square with the clues shown below, so they read the same down and across.

Comic StoryNo Title (6 pages)
SynopsisMozart started writing little pieces of music when he was only five years old. Some were too complicated to be played. When he was a young boy, he wrote an oratorio in less than a week as a test for the Archbishop of Salzburg. The score for The Miserere had been kept a Vatican secret, until he was able to write down the entire score from memory, when he was 13, after hearing it only once. Though much of his later life was spent in poverty, his music was seldom sad or depressing.

SynopsisAfter a lecture on vocational guidance, Paul tells the other kids he'd like to get into politics. The other boys tell him that he must be crazy, because politics is dishonest.

First LineThat lecture on vocational guidance was very interesting!
NotesThe last page lists quotations from Catholic sources that support Paul's decisions with the problems he faced in the story we just read. They are the kind of principles that people in public office should act upon. Within the story are footnotes that lead you to the principle used to justify his decision from this list. For example, you should vote for the best man running irregardless of his religion. Don't vote for someone just because they are a Catholic. That quotation is listed and credited mostly to Rev. John Ireland.

Comic StoryGeorge Westinghouse (3 pages)
SynopsisThe story of George Westinghouse, the inventor of air brakes for trains. Before his invention, there were many train accidents, due to the fact that the brakeman had to rush from car to car and set the brakes by hand. It took a long time to stop a train in those days. Nobody wanted to pay to test Westinghouse's brakes until Andrew Carnegie agreed. On the very first trial run in 1869, the train was to make several test stops along the way, but had to be put to a full test when a man was thrown onto the tracks by a horse. The train stopped in time and saved the man's life.

NotesIt is interesting to note that the illustration of Attila and his two men look nothing like Mongol warriors. They could all easily pass for British soldiers of the era and don't look Asian, or Mongol-like at all. Attila is depicted wearing a coat-of-arms on his chest and a long, flowing cape. He has a broadsword in his scabbard and his men are carrying banners.
