This photo, circa 1947, shows what St. Mary's used to be like. Back in the 40s archery was an essential skill that all the women at the seminary/Jr. College (dunno which it was at this point) due to the presence of bears on campus. The student handbook stipulated that along with One Cards, all students must carry a bow and a minimum of five arrows with them at all times. Generally it takes at least 7 arrows to destroy a bear, which is why they all used the buddy system.
For reals though this would be the fucking coolest gym class ever. Archery was the best part of Boy Scouts.
