First year algebra is essential to maintain and implement pupil skills in arithmetic. Soph- ornores gain respect for accuracy, precision and neatness in their study ot plane geometry. Accuracy and speed are the goal as juniors spend a year in typing. Advanced algebra is also offered to the juniors. The six trigonometric functions and locus of points become more than just words to seniors who spent a semester in trigonometry and a semester in solid geometry. Bookkeeping is also offered to the seniors in order that they may understand business transactions as they go out into the world.

Senior students check physics experiment Rev. Charles LaBarge, In this day and age when most everything is done scientifically, it is necessary that the student learn fundamental scientific facts and methods in order to meet everyday problems. In his first year at Loras, the freshman studies a course in general science to provide him with basic scientific facts, theories and applica- tions. Something new is added in the senior year as the student gets his first taste of experiments in physics laboratory. Two periods a Week are spent in lab Work with the remaining three de- voted to lectures and tests. Those students who plan to go on in the field of engineering may take a course in mechan- ical drawing. A short course in slide rule is also offered for all interested juniors and sen- iors.
