TH develops systematic thinking The demands of a technological society are re- flected in the wide variety of courses offered by the mathematics department at Marian. Courses ranged from advanced topics and the usual aca- demic program to business math on the practical level. The skills developed in these courses facili- tated the growth of accuracy and logical thought which will benefit the students in other areas of study. Individual attention is an important part of modular scheduling. Sister Marguerite Mary helps Iohn Matrishin attack a difficult problem in analysis. Mr. Huber uses surveying equipment to demonstrate prin- ciples of geometry to a group of sophomores.

RELIGIG Study and worship preserve MHS spirit The importance of Christian ideals in a civil- ization as frenzied as today's was emphasized by the religion faculty who developed in their classes the theme of Christ's law of love. Dis- cussions, films, lectures, shared prayer, and heart-to-heart talks with the priests revealed a new interest and desire of the students to become involved in the courses. The religion curriculum brought to all classes an aware- ness of the problems confronting man through the ages as well as contemporary efforts to modernize the knowledge and service of God through love of His creation. 25

I.P.S. students study the properties of matter by weighing a petri dish and its contents. The science program at Marian is dedicated to providing the students with the principles necessary for understanding the rapidly changing world. Freshmen and sophomores learned the fundamental physical properties of matter in the I.P.S. course and explored the secrets of living things in biology. Iunior and senior college-prep students struggled to master the complexities of chemistry and physics. Their courses offered them specialized studies and opportunities for labora- tory experience. Imaginative science programs enabled the students to acquire a deeper respect for God's creation and to prepare for specific academic goals.
