Freshmen begin the study of mathematics with Elementary Algebra. In the Junior year Intermediate Algebra is taken. For Seniors there is a variety of courses they can select: Trigono- metry, Advanced Algebra, Advanced Math, Solid Geometry, and Analytical Geometry. This year the Sophomores began a new course in mathematics, as required by the State of New York, Tenth Year Mathemtaics-a composite of various related mathematics courses. This new course in- tegrates Plane Geometry with Arithmetic, Algebra, and numerical Trigonometry. As an introduction to Co-ordinate Geometry, the use of fractions, percent- ages, and basic algebraic methods is stressed. It is felt that this grouping of closely related theorems and mathematical processes will give students a clearer concept of mathematical thought. Associated with the Mathematic Department is an elective course in Mechanical Drawing offered to Seniors and Iuniors. Bro. Lawrence McGervey, S.M. was also a member of this Department. Bro.

George Spahn, S.M. the Science Department has sponsored many Held trips and contests of interest. Early in the Fall Senior physics students traveled to Brookhaven National Laboratory to view firsthand demonstrations of the latest instruments and methods in Nuclear Physics. Recently Freshmen Biology students were shown the movie Hemo the Magni- ficent , a graphic description of the circulatory system produced in cartoon fashion. The annual Science Fair in which all sections of the Department participated was held during the Spring. The Department acquired two new Classmaster Gieger Counters to be used in radio activity demonstrations. In Chemistry a new method of experimen- tation was introduced, Open Endedv experiments. Both Junior and Senior science students had subscriptions to Science World. Other members of the Department not pictured here were: Bro. Firmin Widmer, S.M., Earth Science, Mr. Charles McCuckin, Health, and Bro. Iohn Cilfether, S.M., Health. Bro. Raymond B. Cohring, S.M., B.S. in Ed.
