English Classes Bolstered For her sophomore English Class, Marilyn Swartz gives a demonstration speech on her unique talent for makingbut- terflies out of foam. Shakespeare's It's a mad, mad, world described to perfection the Neumann High Eng- lish department as it strove to stimulate stu- dent involvement. Students participated in a wide variety of activities including discussing literary works in small groups, acting our Shakespearean drama in the classroom, and viewing film strips on the background of mod- ern musicals. All of these activities prepared the students for more effective communication with their peers. In the small discussion mods all the stu- dents were able to probe deeper into the works of the great authors from the early Greek and Roman ages to contemporary times. Trying to impress the very essence of English upon their students were the fearless foursome of the English department: Sr. Rosa- lee, Sr. Dolorosa, Sr. Veronica and Sr. Patricia, each striving to have their students excel in this field. Neumann was also fortunate to have Mrs. Cantrell take over the senior class's study of Dostoyevsky's CRIME AND PUNISHMENT dur- ing Sr. Rosalee's illness. The never ending search for knowledge continues as Sister Dolorosa, Sister Rosalee, Sister Veronica, and Sister Patricia compare their notes on English classes, lectures, and new ways to improve the newly organized English resource center. Devotion such as theirs is basic for the advancement of students. THE BEAUTY NOOK, Pearle Fendrich, Owner, Prague, Nebraska

The Maze Of Mathematics Advancement through teamwork and indi- vidual study were the aims of Neumann's math department during '69-70. Spearheading the drive for mathematical excellence were Sr. Celeste and Mrs. Curt Snoberger. By using three-dimensional models and exploring trigonometry, instructors directed students toward a broader understanding of math. Elementary concepts were not forgotten as proving theorems and constructing hexagons still occupied the students limited time. Learning activities were typified by the math projects made in the advance math class. The variety of projects was matched only by the variety of inquisitive students who created these masterpieces. Triumph for Neumann mathematicians came when Neumann hosted the annual Math Field Day. The Neumann team took pride in placing second, and the whole school found fulfillment in a contest well run. With more class planning now necessary, the duplicating machine was never abandoned. Mrs. Curt Snoberger pre- pares material for one of her classes. Second place winners of the annual Math Field Day, co-hosted by Neumann and Wahoo Public, are Gary Maly, Randy Masek, Joann Snitily, Mike Hanson, and Patsy Fiedler. 21
