Physics affords insi ht into marvels of science Through the conquests of science man's energy and understanding are multiplied. Our society's strength is aug- mented by technology, rather than by war, by isms, or by social panaceas. The job of preparing I.oughlin's future engineers and scientists for their part in this important conquest belongs to its physics department. Under the able leadership of Brother Brendan Michael, the department has been highly successful in its preparation. It has been able to keep the levers balanced, the pulleys strung and the grades ffor t e most partj up. In conjunction with the regular classroom instructions in this important course, the physics lab enables Loughlin men to prove conclusively, even after all these years, that I still equals EXR. if is -f W. ei. , , 554 . 5 .

Religion, Mathematics fDe artment Headj, Lougblinile Moderator Needs of technical world met b Math Department Mathematics is the science of numbers and quantities. It is probably the most important of all the sciences because it is so widely used and because it is such a versatile tool. It is used by the grocer in measuring bulk goods, by the druggist in making prescriptions, by the housewife in cooking recipes and by the engineer in solving the complex problems of his profession. Since it is so widely used, Mathematics is given full con- sideration here at Loughlin. Three years of Math are required and a fourth year is offered as an elective. This training enables a Loughlinite to take his place in today's highly mathematical world. Anoxs J. Souusn MR. JOHN J. MacDoUcau. Mathematics Mathematics

Religion, Chemistry, Mathematics, Track Moderator Chemists explore basis o matters composition The Loughlinite takes Chemistry as the final phase of his scientific training at Loughlin. The knowledge acquired during this course can be used as a foundation for further study of Chemistry in college. If the student wishes to go on to such study he will have been well prepared by the excellent teaching of Brother Richard and the rest of the department. Much is owed to these men who put up with the daily rigors of the classroom in order to bring the Loughlinite a greater compre- hension and appreciation of the complex world that God has made for us. This is done by demonstrating to us how and of what matter is composed. Study does not sto in the classroom, however, the Rav. BROTHER A. MARTIN, F.S.C.
