ON FAMILIAR 'LIFE' APPLICATIONS This year the biology stu- dents observed crate after crate of new equipment being installed in Sister lerome's sunny biology lab, ZUSC. Among the additions this year were forms of dicot and monocot stems and leaves, two new display cupboards, plaques of butterflies and a few spiders, among which were the rare Black Widow, male and female. The outstanding project, stu- dent scientists declare, was the compilation of fruit book- lets, with prizes going to lo- anne McGrath '50, Helen Klimas '5l, Rose Arena '52, and Marcia Schmidt '52. Drawing from models of a Corn Monocot Stem and a four year Dicot Stem are John Podsedly, James Hyka and Paul Bender, Sophomore biology students. Al Bowers, Bernard Ross and James Davis Work energetically over Archimedes' Principle of submerged bodies, to find the specific gravity of a liquid. Another class which aids many Namers in the field of science, whether used at home or as a prep- aration for future use in college, is physics, taught by Sister Angela Mary. The fundamentals of sound and light, the work- ing of the radio, the sign- posts of weather chang- ing, the significance and use of machines, the measurements of temper- ature, and the generation and control of electricity are all practical applica- tions of the physics class.

SCIENCE CLASSES CONCENTRATE Proud Winners in the Water Wheel Contest are Margaret Burke and Frank Novak '53, displaying the 275 water wheels made by other students in Freshmen general science classes. Ever since the new general science laboratory was set up in the basement oi Gal- lagher Building iour years ago, water Wheels have been spinning in the annual Au- tumn Freshman Water Wheel Contest. This year 275 Wheels were on display in the laboratory. Every type oi material was used from Walnut shells to pi- ano keys. First prize Winners were Frank Novak, lUlG, Whose red-and-black trimmed alumi- num Wheel was both large and compact, and Margaret Burke, 2U4G, who entered a finely carved modernistic model. The making and testing of pure distilled Water keeps Bill Raimer, Frank Cwiklinski, and John O'Neil busy during the chemistry lab period under the direction of Sister Mary Robert. Climbing to the top oi the mezzanine each day, Iuniors enter the chem- istry lab to learn more about a science that will play a big part in their everyday life. Realizing the practical value of chemistry, Sister Mary Robert not only oi- iers a preparation for col- lege chemistry, but makes a practical application oi daily Work, including a study oi ioods, iuel, gar- dening and drugs, that will aid students in later liie.

SALABLE SKILLS ATTRACT STUDENTS l Daily grind undertaken by Typing 1 enthusiasts may earn them office positions some future day. CTopJ Accounting for their shekels in true Shylock fashion are Senior bookkeepers Cathy O'Donne11, Alvita Cashiotta, and John Ahern. fBottomj Clevelands business World is peopled with Narners who have made use of the practical aid being offered them in high school. Sister Mary Conrad's first year typing class comprises 92 students, and Sister Marie Concepta teaches 40 ambitious typists in Typing ll. Also in the business schedule is bookkeeping, in which Sister Rose Alma's 36 students not only learn how to hold down a job in an office but also how to keep their own household accounts straight.
