ENGLISH The Father Lopez English Department was staffed by an able crew: Mr. Ted Petrucciani, Mrs. Helen Belanger, Mr. Jim Gardinier, Mr. Ken Lipe, and Mr. Dave Kreimer. Grammar, spelling, and vocabulary were taught along with ever-popular literature. Fundamentals of Journalism and the publication of the Lopez yearbook were projects undertaken by journalism students. Field trips were rare but important parts of the students' education. UMistress of the Inn,H a theatrical production, was viewed by Juniors and Seniors early in the year, with upperclassmen from other area high schools also attending the perfor- mance. English teachers were able to supplement literature with movies and film strips from a fine school library selection.

Quicker than a speeding molecule - more intelligent than a binary computer - able to solve genetic and chemical equations in a single try. what could be a more accurate description of the Father Lopez Science Department? Sister Clare teaches all physical sciences, which include chemistry, physics, and earth science, while Mrs. Hyland handles the biological sciences, including high school and advanced biology, physiology, marine biolOQY. and ecology. Field trips to Crystal River Nuclear Power Plant, the Planetarium, and Cape Kennedy high- lighted physical science studies, but Mrs. Hyland's beach excursions and annual trip to Gainesville Shands Teaching Hospital sponsored by the Heart Fund provided an interesting supplement to classroom activities. For advanced biology fB.S.C.S.l students the chance to explore scientific careers was made possible by career day, where students spent the day with a person whose scientific occupation matches their own interests. With Sister Clare and Mrs. Hyland , science is really not Hbohr-ingn at all.
