The freshman year, the course is taught by Miss Doris Geisler and attempts to present the freshman with a more concrete concept of divinity. God as a person is the sophomore motif. Revela- tion, insights into life and sacraments are discussed, as well as pragmatic issues such as drugs and morality. Father Peter Martich is the instructor. junior year further broadens the scope of religion by discussing Christian values as they apply in the student's life. The last section of the course is taught jointly during senior year by Father Patrick Harpenau and Father Gerald Gettelfinger. World religions, philo- sophies and situations are considered. 4

leads Science classes to new heights The science department, headed by Father Paul Hulsman, bases its instruction on experimentation in each course. Freshmen experience their share of innovation this year with a new type of study program in the mak- ing. Students progress at their own speed throu h the course, reading and experimenting indivigually. Teacher Mr. Craig Hauss is on hand to give explana- tion and to clarify information. Sophomores are instructed in biolog by newcomer Steve Purichia. Filmstrips and speciallproj- ects give emphasis to the course. Chemistry students are taught again this year by Fr. Hulsman. Lectures, demonstrations, experiments and problems to be discussed at the board are the methods through which the course is taught. Another newcomer, Mr. Richard Soendlin, in- structs the physics class this year. The departments prized possession is the new vandegraf generator, which can be used in the study of electric currents. Happy together are Nancy Warga and her beaker. 31
