P. O'Leary, M. Sloan, J. Kathman experiment with a simple lever, the meter stick in physics lab to find relation between forces and the distances from a support. The wonderful achievements of science attract so much attention that scientific minded seniors eagerly enter the study of physics to help supple- ment lecture. Two periods a week are spent in lab experimenting and applying the basic principles of mechanics, electricity, heat, light and sound. $561466 ans!

A wide knowledge of science can be gained through the movies, lectures and experiments of which the classes make use. Their fav- orite experiment is that of collect- ing hydrogen when the telltale ttpoph can be heard in the laboratory. Un- expected incidents sometimes occur, Collecting bromine are R. Theme and J.

As the usefulness and accuracy of everyday living depend so much upon the study of mathematics, too much time cannot be employed in this subject. The Mathematics department of Mother of Mercy offers a complete four-year course in this impor- tant branch. This includes General mathematics, Algebra 1, plane geometry, Algebra II, trigonom- etry, and solid geometry. Adequate and useful is this department for those following the college preparatory course and those in the special div- isions. The high school has an active chapter in the National Mathematics Honor Society named after the revered foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, Mother Mary Catherine McAuley. Mathematics majors following special requirements are eligible for membership in this honor society. Regular meet- ings are held to discuss at length a mathematics essay. Students find broad interest in this Society! M. Blank and J. Berg explain a phase of geometry to K. Miller, P. Krocger, R. Jacobs, J. Colina and M. McCarthy.
