Science The Science Department had one new course added to its curriculum. Zoology was introduced to the depart- ment this year by Mr. Edward Stork. The class dealt mainly with the study of plants and animals. Mr. Stork also taught the Biology A class. Mr. Larry Smith taught Introduc- tory to Physical Science (IPS) to Freshman. They learned some of the basics of physical science. Mr. Smith taught Biology B and C which included the study of cells, plants, animals, and man himself. Mr. Richard Andra taught Physics to the Mount and Maur Hill Juniors and a few Seniors. Every Tuesday and Thursday they could be seen engulfed in experiments trying to prove the laws of Physics. While the Physics class was busily at work, right down the hallway you could observe Mount and Maur Hill Seniors in Chemistry class working away under the direction of Rev. Bruce Swift, O.S.B. Chemistry is also a lab class and students could be seen on Tuesdays and Thursdays with test tubes and Bunsen Burners try- ing to figure out solutions and formulas. alft M[5l a 1 Mike Scheopner.

u We think that English and other languages are essential and important in order to better prepare us for the future. To understand different peoples and ideas we need to acquire greater knowledge and new ideas. After arriving at Maur Hill we felt as if we weren’t learning because we spent most of the time speaking our native language. However as the days past we realized that we communicated more effectively in our classes. We are satisfied for the most part because the program at Maur Hill is very advanced and we can count on our teachers with their many years of experience to give us the knowledge that we need for the future. In many cases some of us have a better un- derstanding of speech than others. We believe that by the time the year has passed those who have come to learn will leave satisfied with a firm belief that the program Maur Hill offers has prepared them for communication with the people of the world. mi undo -to C Qiuv-c i Language The language classes were taught by Rev.
