Science Department Cuts It With Class! Cardinal Newman ' s science depart- ment under the direction of Mrs. Sharon Baker, is one of the finest educational assets that Newman had to offer. The multiple number of science courses ranged from Physical Science to Physics, with many courses between. If an incom- ing Freshmen expressed a desire to take a science course, he will be placed in Physical Science. This course covered the broad spectra of the sciences and was idea for the students who wanted a sam- ple of each science that was offered. The next step above Physical Science was the course offered to all sophomores, Biol- ogy. Biology provided students with a modern look at the anatomical, chemical and physiological concepts of biological science. After students completed Biol- ogy and still felt an urge to continue ex- panding their knowledge of the sciences they enrolled in Chemistry. Chemistry was one of the first major challenges that students found. This course was the first step toward working with complex the- orys and laws. Emphasis was placed on the concept of an atom and understand- ing how atoms are formed. The last major step under the heading of the science department was Physics. Although classi- fied as a science, Physics combined com- plicated scientific formulas with intricate Algebra and Trigonometry. Physics was similar to Chemistry in that they both were problem solving courses, yet Phys- ics dealt more with measurement, force and motion. Newman offered the serious Science student a complex curriculum that satisfied the needs of anyone inter- ested in the field of science. RIGHT: Miss Atherly during a rare quiet moment.

History Department: The Past To The Present It ' s The American Way The main idea of teaching history is to relate the past to the present and to show its effect on the future, said Mr. Pat O ' Hare, the chairman of the Social Stud- ies Department at Newman. Newman ' s Social Studies covered everything from Sadat ' s assasination and war in the Mid- dle East, to inflation and the high interest rate. Through such classes as Economics, A. vs. C, or American History a student could learn about mistakes made in the history of the United States and other countries while discussing today ' s prob- lems and their effects on the world today.
