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.

SOCIAL STUDIES Mr. Robert J. Reitz History I A III Mr. John R. Braucher History I A II, J. V. Coach Where Life becomes a Spasm, And History a Whiz: If that is not Sensation, I don’t know what it is. Lewis Carrol And what Ignatian wouldn’t have liked to have felt that sensation. But seemingly none of us did. So from the time we were freshmen, we spent many an hour outlining, studying and cramming history so that perhaps someday someone could outline, study, and cram about us. In freshman year we studied world history. We followed the development of the ways of mankind from the pharaohs of Egypt to the dictators of our modern world. In sophomore year we studied the story of our United States and learned why its basic strength and high morals have led it to where it is today. In junior and senior years, those of us who continued to take social studies were faced with two more interesting years in the study of our world. The studies of modern Europe, business law and economics, and sociology were firmly imbedded in our minds. Throughout the study of history we studied about great men of the world, and we ourselves had several living examples of men we could also call great, our teachers! 20
