The basics of library work are introduced to freshmen English students as Sr. Bernadette-du-Sacre Coeur or- ientates Julian Niejadlik, Mar- guerite Sansoucy, Linda Richer, Jo Ann LeGrand and Joanne Wyngoski in the procedures of the card cata- logue. Donald Collette, Sandra King, Elaine Gaulin, and Paul Le- Blanc prove that scanning po- etry, a must in junior English course, is rather enjoyable. '2' Absorbed in Elizabethan culture, John Langer, David Dion, Joanne Boisvert, Kathleen Hoffman and Raymond Schneider hearken to the informative words of Sr. John Anastasia as she explains the architecture of the Globe Theatre. English Department The course of study in the English de- partment has been arranged to give the students a broad view of literature-au thors, works, literary types and themes. Through such study the individual be- comes a better and more discriminating reader as well as developing in himself the habit of reading good literature. This background becomes a stepping stone in developing advanced skills in the arts of writing, speaking, and listening. Diagramming sentences, a tedious task, is well executed by Louise Arseneault, Ronald Rys and Michael Bergeron, members of sophomore English class.

Religion Department Marianhill offers one of the best religion courses available in any school today. During the first three years Bible study, liturgy and the sacraments are presented as a foundation for the more advanced courses available in the senior year. Father Paul Charpentier, as senior religion teacher, offers ex- cellent courses both in the Bible and in marriage. He is most ably assisted by Mr. Marc LePain, who presents outstanding lectures on Ecumenism, the Doctrines of the Church and other related topics. It is sincerely hoped that with such a solid foundation in the knowledge of their religion, students will leave Marianhill prepared to live their Christian faith to the fullest.

Science Department The world is an ever-changing panorama of developments. As a result, in our space age, the need for scientific expansion is becoming an increasingly ur- gent one. ln keeping up with the times our science depart- ment has made several sig- nificant purchases including a centrifuge to be used in Ad- vanced Biology and Chemistry classes and a camera attach- ment for the AO microscope. Staffed by Sister Claire-des-Lys, Sister Martin Therese, Sister Martha William and Mr. Peter Hurd, this department offers several new courses. A unique Chem Study course is presented to students who have shown a well-rounded knowledge of science. Advanced Biology is offered to students with a strong inclination and admira- tion for biology. Psychology is also introduced to juniors and seniors who aspire to major in this subject upon graduation. Through the untiring efforts of these teachers, science has opened its doors to many en- thusiasts, revealing its inner- most secrets. The preliminaries of dissecting are introduced to Denis Benoit, Michael Smolenski, Louise Avery, Thomas Ryan and Michael Rockwood, students of Sister Martha WilIiam's biology class. 8
