in Sophomore Patrick Heffernan observed the sporadic movement of tiny protozoa. Science The Science Department offered a new course this year-Introductory Physical Science. Experi- mentation seemed to be the mother of learning as the eager scientists weighed, measured, heated, and cooled many familiar and unknown sub- stances. Biologists, awed by their first look through a microscope, visualized the tiny, living cells in every glass of water. Chemistry, a subject which left much to the imagination, delved into the un- seen world of the atom with its particles and orbitals. Advanced Biology solved many of the prob- lems confronting a senior with a foundation in biology. Physics students discovered everything from simple forces to the detection of radiation. The entire program offered a diversified schedule of detailed study in both physical and biological sciences. Future physicists directed their attention to the solution of a final velocity problem. Nancy Kirkpatrick, Margaret Kelly, and Cynthia Hratko adjusted the scale before determining the weight of KCl. .im Physical science enthusiasts volunteered their interpretations of mat- ter's role in the universe.

Mathematics Practice makes perfect, -an axiom familiar to Doris Dylewski as she tried unceasingly to master the scaling of parabolas. Robert Jablonski, Philip Stafford, Robert Bodor, and John DiGeronimo pooled their efforts in an attempt to construct classical designs of fu Algebra I practitioners applied the rules of factoring as they completed the challenging Chapter Review. Vincent Bruns demonstrated the probability of die for mem- bers of the Modern Introductory Analysis class. rniture. Michael Tarentino reflected upon the idea of assumptions and axioms in conjunction with the concept of congruent triangles. The key of a solid background in mathematics opened the door to Algebra I for the freshmen. Once inside, the students scurried about searching for Xls and y's, puzzled by their diversity of value. Armed with protractor and compass, the sophomores cal- culated the angles and planes of their classroom, while Algebra II and Trig students sought out the systematic order of their chamber. Furnished in the fourth year with a store- room of data, the students of Basic College Math and Mod- ern Introductory Analysis qualified for any future courses in higher mathematics. 40
