Sheila Smith, Sara Sedgwick, Mary Zink, Kathy Kane, Geri O'Conner, Cele Kennedy, Judy English and Sharon Roche prepare their panel discussion for a Social Science class. SOCIAL SCIENCE In the 1960's the world moves forward rapidly and almost explosively in places. Economic problems arise, wars are fought, new nations are born, scientific break- throughs reveal vast areas of new knowledge. In all of this man appears as a small being. Yet he is the center of it, the cause of it, the shaping and controlling factor of the' outcome. To understand the world and its problems, to understand man- lhese are the challenging goals for the student of social science. Madeline Vivone, Lois Cries, Mary Celc Hyland and Pat Denton go over their lines for the play Sabrina Fair. SPEECH AND DRAMA Stimulating are their discussions 'of great drama-literature and challenging are their po- sitions as directors and actresses. These are the feelings of Marycrest drama majors-as they ex- plore and develop their abilities in evaluation, direction and performance both in the classroom and on the stage.

Browsing through the philosophy section in search of proofs for many questions are M. Todt and M. Versypt. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Body mechanics and rhythms is a course offered in sophomore service classes. The course aims to develop grace, balance and co- ordination as well as a high level of physical fitness. Through this course as well as the others in team and individual activities, in- cluding swimming, the Marycrest student has an opportunity to participate in a well-bal- anced program in physical education. C. Calderone, J. Bergman, and B. 0'Brien dream happily of future positions they as business majors will someday fill. 66 RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY Deeper understanding and a broader knowledge of the teachings of the Church are developed in the theology and philosophy classes at Marycrest. General outside readings supplement the class work in the Crester's search for Truth. Supplementary courses in logic and ethics, psy- chology, metaphysics, history of philosophy, and social philosophy round out the curriculum. SECRETARIAL SCIENCE Shorthand and office practice are two of the functional business courses taken by students ln the business department as a part of their career preparation. These courses together with an aug mented program in the humanities, mathematics, economics, and the social sciences, some broad courses in business policy, principles, and organ izational theory fit the business student for the occupation for which she is being prepared ln the diverse business world of today.
