- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: C-30897 ELECTRONICS HELP THE HANDICAPPED PITTSBURGH -- Tape rec orders, hearing aids and other electronic equipment are used extensively by Sisters of Charity and lay teachers in educating handicapped students at the De Paul Institute in Pittsburg. Five hundred students, from 2 to 18 years of age, are either partially or wholly blind or deaf or have serious speech defects. In this photo Sister Angelica cuts a lacquer record as Tommy Burgunder, 12, follows the recording playing by a tape cartridge recorder against the text in his Braille text book. “Our students like to make recordings in class,” the nun says, “and the enjoyment they derive acts as a powerful incentive to learning.” The school charges no tuition and accepts students regardless of race or religion.

They were Deaconess Carol Jungermann of Holy Cross Lutheran church, Brushton (rear); and Sister Edith Fischer, in charge of chaplaincy service at Passavant Hospital (right). They are shown with nun-members of the Diocesan Liturgical Commission -- Sister Edward Mary (left), and Sister Kevin. After the Liturgical Day, the Lutheran observers commented on parallels they found between Protestant and Catholic renewal. They cited the "sense of mission" being instilled in youth and the effort to get away from "the Sunday kind of faith" toward an everyday living of religion.

Rev. Chor-Bishop Antoun Akl, a high dignitary of the Maronite (Eastern Rite) Catholic Church shown here (right) with the Rev. Elias Basil, pastor of St. Anne’s Syro-Maronite Catholic church.

Skripkus trims one of the 14,000 trees and shrubs he has planted on the grounds of St. Francis Convent and Academy at South Hills near here. The farmland has been converted into a virtual park, with trees flanking the walks and pines acting as windbreakers during the winter. Although much of the land has been planted as lawn, seven acres have been reserved by Father Skripkus for vegetable garden on which food is grown for the school cafeteria. His 500 fruit trees supply the 300 students with fresh fruit. In addition to his landscaping, Father Joe, as he is known to the thousands of girls who have graduated from the academy since 1926, has grafted and crossed plants, creating several new varieties of fruit trees and plants. He has an apple tree that produces six different kinds of apples, one pear tree that bears five varieties, and a plum tree with two.
