0 New Life English classes this year concentrated specifically in the area of grammar because of a growing concern for the linguistics of the teen- agers today. Sister Maria Goretti, Miss Schroering, and Miss Feiler presented to their students pronouns, adverbs, connectives, and all other types of grammatical forms for an intensive study. Also a subject of interest to our English pupils were the many writ- ings of such famous authors as Shakespeare, Chaucer, Thoreau, and Goldsmith. Epics, narratives, plays, and modern day fiction provided reading material eagerly accepted by our students. Shakespeare was dramatized and the poems of William Wordsworth were interpreted. Greek and Roman culture enhanced study of the greatest artists of world literature. r-va Sister Maria Goretti tries to get her finger in every area of Eng- lish education at Bennett. if G Francis Gehlhausen displays his rhet- orical ability in the recitation of a Shakespearean sonnet.

Scientmlc Research The study of life is stretched into still another direction. In the mystery world of science students learn the inside story of nature, matter, and energy under the direction of Mrs. Haas, Mr. Wente, and Mr. Schwab, In biology the students dis- cover the wonders of nature in dissecting worms, starfish, and clams. In chemistry they marvel at their experiments in definite proportions, vapor density, and prop- erties of gases as they turn out correctly. ln physics the students ponder on the var- ious theories of matter and energy, and try to prove them in their experiments. Because of our good laboratory facilities, the students and their teachers are able to conduct much scientific research. At the end of the year the science students display their knowledge in the annual Science Fair. In the Chemistry lab, Patti Eberst and Mike Szakaly heat glass tubes for bending or shaping, r , N
