N ts. xl Sister Rose Margaret and Sister Angela Mary have taken advantage of recent accessions in the visual aids department and used them to great advantage for instruction of the Math classes. MA EXPLAI S Theorems, space relationship, formulas, and proofs are only part of Geometry. The most important part is how it helps the student as an individual. It opens the mind to think for itself, reason out and put down in logical order, its answer. Working with figures, shapes and measurements takes us into the field of Drafting. Knowledge of essential parts, measurements and placements will result in a job well done. Drafting and constructing forms of houses on a small scale helps the student realize what he has to work with. Drafting helps the student look toward the future. The solving of the unknown is the major aim of the students in the fields of Algebra I and H. Deep thinking explanations and reviews of problems help the students understand how the answer was found and gaina knowledge of where to seek an answer in the future. Seeking to advance and extend the skills of the student and increasing his knowledge of mathematics in general is the aim of Math IV. It is the completion of all the other mathematics courses. Sister Rose Margaret, head of the Math Department, and her assistants, Sister Angela Mary, and Mr. Wolver- ton, do a splendid job of teaching our students these basic concepts of mathematics. Joe Stevenson: Are you sure these lines are parallel? Jan Pau wels: 'That's what it says here, right Bill? Bill Wade: What? ATURE WITH - T Demonstration is an essential part of the study of geometry. Here Mary Palmiter presents an oral demonstration of some basic geometric principles. 13

John McElheron and Linda Linn set up their own Physics lab in the basement where they try to find the gravity of Lansing. NTHE BE T PART QF A HUMA BET G I THE INNGCE T PART THAT EE THI GS WITH WO DER In our ever changing world, Science has become a more and more perplexing and entailed study. Many chal- lenges are brought to the student which prepare him to find a place in the society of the modern world. Earth Science is offered to the freshmen by Sr. John Martin. Sophomores are instructed in Modern Biology by Sr. Margaret Thomas and Mr. Brooks. Chemistry and Physics are presented to upperclassmen by Sr. John Michael. Essential knowledge is gained through the Sciences. From them we learn such things as the make-up of plant and animal life, the cave man and where he lived, the structure of the earth and the solar system in which it revolves, Newton's laws, and Vander Waal's forces. The science department is competently covered by fm the instruction of Sr. Margaret Thomas and Sr. John WMM Michael. Zag, WW 12
