Other members of the Math De- partment have been Sister Ann Carita, Mr. John Garvin, Mr. Ed Morris, Mrs. Carolyn Ravioli, Miss Donna Giere, and Sister Julie, The honors program is in use at Central Catholic, and many students took advantage of the increased study and emphasis on new topics presented. Some of the subjects presented in senior math this year were vectors, and several aspects of trigonometry and calculus. Ralph Banasiak and Phylis Le- moine, two sophomores who partici- pated in a special math program dur- ing the summer, returned to work with Sister Ann Carita in developing their especially sharp math skills.

Languages The Accent Is on Excellence It was a strong year for the various classes in the Language Department. Putting the accent on excellence, the members of the Latin classes, under the direction of Sister Mary Teresa and Sister Cecilia Marie, worked hard. Mr. Martin Tierney, head of the Spanish Department, again made use of his travels in South America and the experience he gained there to en- rich the members of his classes. Mrs. Maxine Hartman, also returning to Central Catholic for her second year, also taught Spanish. Coming to CC from Massachusetts, Sister Francis Michael brought much enthusiasm and her excellent teaching methods. Teaching most of her class- es in French, she made a deep im- pression on her students and en- couraged many to pursue their studies. Various projects were undertaken in the classes to keep interest and the will to keep studying alive. A Latin Day was held by students in Novem- ber.
