Senior physicists Kathy Cross and Gail Bloch prove, with the Slinky, that Physics is fun as they send pulses along the coils to show their classmates the behavior of waves.

224 tems ill As Gwen Cavanagh slowly adds the hydrochloric acid, Prudence Laramore prepares Physical Sciences Challenge Imaginations Once again Immaculata ex- pands her curriculum to stimu- late interest in the latest ad- vances in science. The new phys- ics course, together with the chemistry courses, projects a dynamic picture of the physical universe. In order to illustrate class- room study and to encourage original thinking and research, greater emphasis has been placed on laboratory work this year. Learning the basic compo- nents of matter, the forces of nature and the theories behind their behavior, IHS girls receive a sound foundation for further study as well as priceless practi- cal knowledge. to capture the hydrogen in a wide-mouthed bottle. Their lah partner, Mary Mazzuchi, observes the reaction so she can record the results. Carla Greene, a member of the Washington junior Academy of Sciences, demonstrates the technique of analytical measurement which she used in her work at Walter Reed Army Hospital last summer. l

Pointing out the part of the body which they are currently studying in physiology class are Mary Wooldridge and Kathy Sheldon. The model is of great help to the class in getting a clear picture of the location of certain organs. Physiology student Kathy Sheldon rises to make a report on the digestion system to Sister Marceline. Her classmates Norma Colaizzi, Jeanne Luberda, Margie Oehmann, Mary Flaherty, Ann Marie O'Donnell, Beca Martin, Princess Goldthwaite and Bobbi Thompson refer to a corresponding diagram in their books. Life Sciences Encourage Student Interest The sophomores at IHS work with materials before unknown to themg they speak with an en- larged, more technical vocabu- lary. All this comes as a result of the excellent biology course presented to them by Sister Mar- celine and Miss Chamberlain. In lecture and in lab, the biol- ogy students develop a knowl- edge of the mysteries of living things: the comparatively sim- ple plant life, the more complex animal kingdom. The intricacies of the human organism are unfolded in the physiology course where seniors are joined by junior college stu- dents under Sister Marceline's direction. Physiology students acquire a thorough understand- ing of the organization of the parts of the human body and their related functions. 's.,,.ivV
