Seemingly all wrapped up In her subject, Sister Celeste reveals the secrets of the ticker tape. Her teaching day was taken up with four math classes and one science group. Sister Suzanne found that modern geometry and algebra demand up-to-date teaching methods, such as employing the overhead projector. Sturdy Math Foundation Is Laid That difficult, almost intangible task of bringing Neumann's math students through the maze of equations, theorems, and proofs that make up the science of Mathematics, was tackled by Sisters Cel- este and Suzanne. This year Sister Celeste also went into the house construction business. After an unexpected storm wrecked her first attempt Sister decided to take out some house insurance by setting up various booby traps, or so it is told. It is even rumored today that it is dangerous to enter the athletic storeroom, the site of the disaster. Group discussions were used ex- tensively this year in preparation for the expected switch to modular scheduling next year. As this will be a big change, both students and teachers are experimenting with various study habits in preparation for it. GAMBLES ALWAYS BETTER BUYS WAHOO, NEBRASKA

Riddles of Science notice that her sweater was on fire. No student has surpassed her yet in her ability to co-ordinate apparently unrelated data and results, and still come up with the correct answer. Along with himself Mr. Eger brought new class aids for biology courses. His hobby of snake collecting came in handy for his classes' line of study, giving them a chance to observe snakes'wildlife habits first hand. The baby rattlers were always a topic for discussion, particularly fol- lowing their escape. Mr. Eger was assisted in his classes by Mr. Neil Barry, a student teacher from Wahoo, Kennedy College, who handled biology and physical science classes during the third quarter. Having the distinction of being Neumann's first snake- charmer, MR. Eger insists that his snakes are quite an asset in teaching practical biology. Studying the effects of mass on acceleration, DenisCerv heeds the advice of assistant physics students Georgiana Ruzicka, and Eileen Malm. 19

Group work is stressed constantly in the numbers de- partment during the year. Here sophomores from the first period math class strive to enrich themselves by helping Precision is the only way to describe the model home constructed by the Math n students, aided by Father Rauth. Marvin Sousek and Cliff Thege measure crossbeams. others. This type of arrangement succeeded in eliminating numerous questions and stimulating overall class par- ticipation. Advanced algebra becomes increasingly interesting with an introduction to the slide rule. Steve Brabee and Roseann Virgil demonstrate the proper method.
