Amid the rattling and juggling of test tubes and Bunsen burners, chemistry students have spent much of the year performing laboratory experiments under the direction of their instructor, Mrs. Julian Evans, newest member of the Marquette faculty. The amateur chemists were initiated to the course by being shown a complete new language of chemical symbols and formulas. Such terms as HZO, CO2 and H2504 became a part of their everyday vo- cabula ry. The program was so arranged that as the students learned the theo- retical material in the text, they put their knowledge to practical use in theexperiments. During the first semester the students tried their hand at mastering the fundamentals of chemistry. They explored the field of organic chem- istry and made an extensive study ofthe more important elements the last half of the year. With the addition of new apparatus and equipment, the experi- ments became more interesting and meaningful. The budding young scientists undertook the distillation of liquids, collection of gases, neutral- ization of acids and bases and numerous other laboratory proiects. In becoming acquainted with lab operations the students experi- enced a sense of responsibility in handling dangerous chemicals. This resulted in a safer and more enioyable class. Two of the most important iobs of the present day chemists are in the fields of qualitative and quantative analysis. It was not difficult to show students the vital role of research chemists in the industrial prog- ress of the mid-twentieth century. One of the newest phases of the course was the study of atom- ' l t to their ic structure. Adding terms like nucleus, proton and eec ron word list, the students became more familiar with the mysterious but powerful atom. In addition to the regular lessons, Mrs. Evans lectured briefly on the lives of eminent scientists: Lavoiser, Fermi, Priestly, Curie, Einstein and th cience of chem- others who have made outstanding contributions to es istry. Through the study of chemistry the students receive a better under- standing of the amazing world .in which they live. No matter what pro- fession or business they enter, wherever they work in an office, the field or at home this understanding will help them to lead richer, more useful and more interesting lives. 3 W s .www L as s James Watkins an Q ,Nw fi,Exig,1fIf?

Sister Marie Jaclnta, O S B, is grade school principal and eighth grade teacher. William Anquoe Lucretia Anne Babb Edwina Baker Sigizfiz grade Seventh grade, eighth grade. one grade more- Excitihg highschool days in store! Reading, writing. iithmefic These fast two years just have to siiclr. Sister Marie Jacinta, O.S.B., is principal of the grade school, but much of her time is spent with her class of fifty industrious, lively eighth graders. Being oldest in the grade school, many of these boys and girls are given the responsibility of watching the younger children in the halls and on the playgrounds. They will soon be ready for the greater responsibility of high school days. The officers of this class are Rem Slattery, president, Joan Gibson, vice-president, Jo Ella Parnell, secre- tary, and Dick Heald, treasurer. Eighth grade sublects include religion, taught by Father Joyce, English, arithmetic and history of the United States. Catholics have re- cently made great strides in their study of the Bible, and this class is right in step. They are delving into Holy Scriptures, learning more about the truths of their faith. As the Bible is the very source of our knowledge of Christ's words and actions, the students realize the greatness of their privilege. At Christmas time, this mission-minded class chose to work on a project for the orphans at Bethany, Oklahoma. The students wrapped toys, books and clothing to send in order to make the children's Christ- mas happier. Once a year the seventh and eighth grade glee clubs from the Catholic schools in the eastern part of the state meet in Tulsa for a music festival. The seventh and eighth graders from Marquette were among those present at the festival this year, February 7, at Monte Cas- sino. They began their day by participating in a parish high Mass in the chapel. Then the various groups practiced their numbers as a single combined chorus. At three o'clock they presented, for the public, a pro- gram varied enough to include ga-y dance tunes as well as spiritual numbers. The eighth graders feel a bit isolated over in the pre-tabs. They are working hard so that they can adjust themselves easily to high school life next year. Some students who prove that are Pete Smith, whose essay on Thrift won second place in the Junior High School division, and James Becker, Diane Swinney, Anne Layman, Rem Slattery, Michael Fitzgerald, Judy King and l.ucretia'Babb who merited National Spelling Certificates approved by the National Board of Education.
