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

A group of seniors went from the novel DON QUIXOTE to the play Man of La Mancha to the stage production of the latter in Omaha. Skits brought to life plays while filmstrips and movies provided background information. From Kennedy College a first was Mr. Robert Sulek, a practice teacher. A six week film series was initiated and shown both to the students and to the public. The movies ranged from those on film technique to the film David and Lisa.
