First of all, the Department strives to culti- vate in the student a clear and logical approach to truth, be it religious, sociological or scientific truth, and the cor- rect expressions of these truths in the spoken and written word. The second objective of the department is the ma- turation of the aesthetic sense in the student through a fuller appreciation of literature and a participation in a creative writing program. The department takes a hand in and encourages student participation in such extracurricular activities as the Lance, forensic activities such as oratory and debate, the school play and the spring musical. A special addition to the department in the past year is the reading program, under the chairmanship of Mr. Lipp, which features a complete course in reading com- prehension and speed rate building.

For those students who plan to continue in science or engineering, it provides a solid foundation upon which they can build their future careers. For those interested in other fields, it gives them a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the world around them. The curriculum has been designed to provide the fundamentals of the three main fields of science: life science, physical science, and earth science. For this purpose, courses in biology, physics, and chemistry are offered. Recognizing the fact that education is also extracurricular, the Science Department has established several clubs as a supplement to the classrooms. Science is an effort to see as deeply as possible into the nature of the physical world, to understand the relationships among the phenomena of nature. Today science is one of the most exciting of human activi- ties because of the rapidity with which it is providing new insights and affecting human culture. The cur- riculum of the Science Department reflects an appreciation of this fact. The following teachers of General Science, who are pictured elsewhere are: Bro. joseph Dunne and Bro. Thomas Burns.
