Science courses undergo change After self-evaluation, the science department in- itiated a change by separating Chem-Phys to Chemistry and Physics. According to Miss Mary Lu Sydik, who taught both courses, the change was made “because students taking the American College Tests might find it helpful to have a year of Chemistry.” Miss Sydik also taught Practical Science and one class of In- troductory Physical Science. Returning for her fourth year, Sister Marie Alice Ostry N.D. taught IPS, Biology, and Advanced Biology. All three classes performed many experiments per- taining to their subject matter. On March 27, Miss Sydik and Sister Marie Alice sponsored a field trip for advanced biology students to Mount Marty College in Yankton, South Dakota. Sister Marie Alice Ostry.

A mystery-comedy, the play involves the secret world of espionage.
