Benefit Futu Teachers . . . To ask and to be answered — to seek and to find — to struggle and to succeed are the results that teachers desire for young minds. Howe er, in order to edu- cate others, it is necessary that teachers educate themselves and continually open their minds to new knowledge gained from numerous experiments in modem times. Besides this, methods of teaching various subjects, observing in classrooms, and experiences of practice-teaching give every education student a finn founda- tion in this creative art. VISUAL AIDS, so important to good teaching, are demonstrated by Senior Anita Lussier in Sr. Mary Chrysostom ' s Education class. HELPING THE INDIVIDUAL is important to practice-teacher. Senior Helen Cullen, as she receives valuable training in the classroom. And Physicists. Indispensable to biology and chemistry majors, who incorporate physical prin- ciples in their chosen fields, is physics, the science of energy and energy trans- formations of electricity, light, and heat. The perfect harmony and simplicity of these scientific laws must necessarily lead the true physicist to that Divine Archi- tect Who has ordered the world and the laws in it. EXPECTANTLY AWAITING RESULTS of their physics experiment are Frosh Diane Peters, Junior Diane Guilmet, and Frosh Cathy Benoit.
