Physics Doorway to Engineering J © o Mr. Finn shows the workings of an electro-meter to M. Tynan, T. Cvranowski, and M. Gospodarek. Physics is exceptionally important in this age of scientific advancement. As a result many Centralites are participating in this study to gain much-needed scientific knowl¬ edge. Students learn the basic ideas upon which our scientific facts are based. Mr. Finn guides the laboratory experiments and Mr. Fischer gives lectures during the week. Educational movies are an important factor in the stu¬ dents’ curriculum. Many of the physics students entered projects for competition on Science Day at T.U. and Bowling Green State University. Scope of project, originality, and sustaining interest, were some of the classifications used by the judges in rating the science projects entered. Page 25

Chemistry Fighting The Fumes In the chemistry classes young minds are trained in the fascinating fields of science. Students learn the basic elements, the struc¬ ture of the atoms, and their important com¬ pounds. Twice a week they go to lab to experiment with their new knowledge. Peri¬ odical bulletins are offered to students who wish to increase their scientific abilities. The realization of the importance of chemistry in industry has prompted a greater enrollment in this class. Chemistry projects are entered in Science Day at the Universities of Toledo and Bowl¬ ing Green and Central’s chemistry depart¬ ment is always well represented by many superior ratings. This year at the first Toledo Science Fair, Central’s science students entered one hun¬ dred and eleven projects. Of these projects, forty-six received superior rating, forty-one excellent and twenty-four, good. In the Bowling Green Science Day exhibit which followed, of the ninety-nine exhibits and papers entered by Central students, nine merited superior ratings. 1 Study of Crvstab of Some Sr. Florian advises M.

Through this course, stu¬ dents greatly appreciate the gift of life which God has given them. Personality conflicts and complexity of the mind are some of the problems which can be corrected through the study of this subject. The physical, moral, mental, and social aspects of life are the basis for this most informa¬ tive class. Much success is achieved by the students through their projects, observations, and serious study of physiology. General Science Introduction to the Scientific World General science, the basis of all sciences, is a subject which acquaints the students with a better understanding of scientific developments and lays the foundation for ad¬ vanced courses in biology, physics, and chemistry. This first year course deals with the matter which closely affects one’s everyday life by which the student learns to know God better through His creation. Is K.
