Science New Teachers- New Ideas The Science Department found itself with several new teachers this year, and a new program of study. Heading the Chemistry Department was Sister Julie, who also worked during the year to take graduate study, while holding down her usual teaching schedule. Two new faces in the Biology De- partment were Sister Therese Michele and Sister Francis Therese. Sister Paul Michael started the school year, but was transferred to Providence English College in Taiwan, where she became head of the Chemistry Department. Biology classes were taught in a much different way; living things were used as much as possible, and the discovery approach was used. Students were very impressed with the miracle of life, as it was pre- sented by their teachers. Chemistry classes studied such things as physical properties of metal and chemical reactions. Mr. David Lindohl taught physical science. Sister Francis Therese, biology teacher, pauses on her way to class. Pat Murphy and Ron Poff wait for the action to start in a chemistry ex- periment. Sister Julie and Sister Francis Therese taught this subject. Sister Therese Michele, head of the Biology Department, is wondering what sophomore Jim Orth is finding on his slide. 28

Physics Central Offers Physics Class Since Central Catholic ' s faculty did not include a physics teacher this year, several seniors obtained per- mission to enroll in some of Central High School ' s three physics classes. Teaching the class was Mr. Bernard Richardville, a member of Central ' s teaching staff for four years. Besides teaching physics, he taught chemistry and applied physics. Because physics is not part of the Industrial Arts program, the five se- nior girls who enrolled in the class became the first CC girls to partici- pate in Central classes. Some of the scientific aspects stressed in the class were laws of mo- tion, nature of light, and gas laws. This class showed the strong co- operation between Central Catholic, and its neighbors across the street. involved in a Physics experiment are Jim Ger- hard, Mr. Richardville, Tim Derloshon, Andy Marciniak, and Pat Zent. Mr. David Lindahl, physical science teacher, appears above. Sister Therese Michele, Kate 1 the Biology Lab 29
