S. Jeanne Ambre, SS.C.M. Algebra I, Biblical Literature S. M. Marcella, SS.C.M. Special Tutor for Mathematics, English Mathematics Not everyone is a Pythagoras, and that’s exactly why the Andrean Math Department exists. It guides the student in one of three tracks through the numerical jungles of Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, and Advanced Mathematics. Whether the student takes only the single required course or studies math throughout high school, he will have tasted the pleasure, and sometimes the pain of becoming a reasoning, logical person. TOP: Once in a while Mr. Giorgio allows a joke to creep in between an Algebra 11 problem and its solution. ABOVE: Sometimes the multiplication of fractions in Basic Math requires standing back and taking a long think. LEFT: Father Ward demonstrates the logic of Geometry in the step-by-step process of proving congruence of triangles. Mathematics — 27

TOP RIGHT: Dom Bonta and Jeff Schneider gain valuable practice in logic and decisiveness by solving algebra problems at the board.

Science From the creation of a snowflake to the fusion of an atom, science reveals itself to be an awesome, ever-changing thing. It doesn’t stand still for students to peer into, its mysteries. It taunts, teases, and demands dedication. Teachers of science at Andrean strive to instill that dedication into their students. When a student weathers any of the science courses — Biology, Physical Science, Chemistry, Physics, Electronics, Organic Chemistry, or Advanced Biology — he experiences the supreme pleasure of knowing a bit of the mysterious. TOP: Is it an acid or an amphoteric? Tom Erdelac and loni Orton carefully measure and gently agitate the sample compound to determine what’s what. ABOVE: Organic Chemistry students Jeff Rothenberg and David Janssen carefully use a separatory funnel to remove water from cyclohexene during the dehydration of an alcohol. RIGHT: Physics students find that computation is the least of their worries: the calculator cannot select the proper formula. 28 — Science
