REVEREND ROBERT H. STAFFORD ADVANCED PSYCHOLOGY for Seniors finds Father Stafford in a typical classroom scene. Order is reflected in created things and philosophy pursues this order. Three years of Thomistic study have brought us nearer to those understandings which direct a better way of life. Seniors culminate their program by examining various forms of morality and the nature of the human act and influences which affect it.

BALANCE is essential when the degree of the ingredients determines the success of an experiment. Pauline Rutana, Anne Keenan, and Mary Smith spend a great deal of their laboratory time weighing their materials on the delicate balances so necessary to their study of chemistry. ROBERT I.

GADAIRE HISTOLOGY is an important course to the Biology major. Here Mary McGrath pre- pares to identify a sample of bone tissue while lab partner Angie Madera looks on.
