Seniors who have taken the advantage of the one year of chemistry offered by Catholic High pursue their interests further by becoming members of the Catholic Chem Club. Every Wednesday they can be seen trudging the stairs to the laboratory on the third floor where they make explorations into the magical world of test tubes, Bunsen burners, beakers, and balance scales. Below: Many experiments have practical results, bringing forth such products as tooth paste, soap, hand lotion and cold cream. By their Open House Exhibit the seniors awakened their little sisters’ inter- est in this field of science.

Science is a stepping stone Above: Physics is the study of matter in motion.” This is one of the first principles learned by those science-minded seniors in the picture above. Such terms as specific gravity, buoyancy, parallelograms of force, and sound frequencies become a part of their daily school conversation. Learning to handle apparatus for enlightening experiments is accom- plished in the laboratory periods. Left: The physics club, appropriately called The Senior Physicists of Catholic High, has stimulated the students’ interests in this subject. Their program includes special demonstrations, lectures, and trips to scientific institutions. At left, the officers who direct the club’s activities arc Joan Szamski, Secretary; Helen Grogan, Treasurer; Regina Dcucrling, Presi- dent, and Angela Nadrowski, Vice President. 12

Recognizing this, club meetings and public speaking form a part of the classes to which the students always look forward. Below: In the picture below, a Senior English class debates a current topic, one of the latest books and its merits. The picture on the left, reading from left to right, shows Audrey Snyder, Dolores Janowski and Patricia Everett displaying dust covers of worth- while best-sellers. firvat idvas of thv past Itolp 4'hristion minds
