C I Much of the world today depends greatly upon science to better our Ways of life. Science here at E Miege is taught in many different courses: Biology I and II, Chemistry, and General Science. All sophomores are required to take Biology l. E Taught by lVlr. Padberg and Sister Martina, the H students study the human body and other species. K Lab experiments are performed and the students learn from observing things themselves. Biology II is an extended course of Biology I but students probe deeper with their experiments. Chemistry is working I with formulas and experimenting with chemicals. This course is taught by Sister Anna. With the Science Department staffed with three well-trained teachers and variety of classes, Miege could very Well develop another Einstein. f SCIENCE PAVES ROAD TO TOMORRQW I MR.

A basic foundation of English is an essential element to all students. This year at Miege a totally new outlook was put into effect in the English Department. A rear- ranged curriculum stressed comprehension and coordina- tion in all facets of the English language. A completely new freshman English course was intro- duced this year bringing about a totally new concept of English to the freshmen. Upperclassmen took two courses of English each lasting a semester. This semester plan en- abled the student to take his desired course out of the many that were offered. This helped out all college bound students by giving them a little knowledge on dif- ferent subjects that might be taken when entering college. There are many different parts to the study of English with the most common being grammar and punctuation. The English Department of Miege offers many of the other facets to give its students a broader knowledge. COMPREHENSION AND MR.

NEW MATHEMATICS FINDS EASIER METHODS The Math Department worked together to give students a basic understanding of the new mathematics. The department was aided by the return of four faculty members: Mr. Perry, Sister Jane, Miss Pretz, and lVlr. Owens. Teacher aids, such as overhead projectors, were used in quick and easier explanations of problems in Math I, Algebra I and II, Geometry, and Analysis. Math I students mastered fundamentals of math, while Algebra students used their skills in solving equations. Geometry classes studied theorems and proofs. Analysis was offered for those who were seeking more knowledge in math or planning to pursue a mathematical career. MR.
