MATH SCIENCE Mr. Joseph W. Schicker Geometry I A II, Trigonometry Fr. Philip M. Coogan, S.J. Algebra I, Religion I “1—1 -x! I knew my grade school teacher was wrong.” “That’s no lie; 1 can even multiply the alphabet.” The preceding is some freshmen’s small talk picked up early in September. But they were straightened out by their algebra teacher before they got down to the Board of Education to complain. Soon they were well on their way to becoming minor Einsteins. By the time June rolled around, the meaning of a square was no longer a party pooper. In sophomore year they studied geometry. Except for the casualties from the compass point wars, these classes were richly rewarding. Proving theorems to their geometry teachers proved to be less difficult than explaining the absence of homework; so they developed into regular Aristotles. In junior year they were faced with another interesting year of algebra and in senior year with trig and solid. The study of math was rewarding, and its teachers were wonderful. From the rooms of the new sophomore biology class and the traditional chemistry and physics classes, some of the future greats in science have emerged. In these classes were found a college-like atmosphere, interesting matter, and excellent teachers. In future years, as in the past and present, Ignatians will be able and well-trained leaders. 18 ► Fr. James W. Kirby. S.J. Physics, Science Club, Radio Club Fr. John J. Uhl, S.J.

Mr. Louis R. Gullo English I All Mr. Joseph W. Schmidt Mr. William A. Murphy English I Speech, History II, Harlequins Stage Crew MODERN LANGUAGE “Parlez-vous franjais?” “oHubla Ud, Espanol?” After two years in an Ignatian Modern Language Class, the well-drilled student is able to respond “Oui” or “Si”. Under the guidance of his European-tongued teacher, he learned to speak the basic language of the French or Spanish. Our small but extremely capable Modern Language Department was an invaluable aid to those who came in contact with it. It gave them the facility to read and write in one or another of the basic European languages. It gave them a better understanding of English. And, perhaps no less important, if business or pleasure takes them abroad, they shall never be lost for words—words of praise for their teachers. Mr. John T. Trahcy, S.J.
