THE QUEST BIOLOGISTS-Examining an old bone structure or HAMS breeding minute organisms is the work of these diligent lab men, under the tutelage of Brother DeSales, the students learn the wonders of Mother Nature, while observing these facts ihwfiflotion under the microscope. -Each year the Mount Radio Class visits a radio station to observe how practical radio theory is put to use in a commercial station. Here, in one of the main studios of WFBR, can be seen a complex array of PRACTICE RUN-Brother meters and knobs used in the process of putting speech on the air. Romuald has his star gazers try a daylight run before hunting night skies. SPEED SPECIALISTS-Typing Maestro, Brother Jordan holds the clock on one of his boys as rooters check.

BROTHER CAMILLUS -demonstrates to some members of his General Sci: ence class, how the electric motor works. SCIENCE CLUB-The science club of Mt. St. Joseph, affiliated with the Na: tional Science Clubs was formed for the iirst time at the Mount this year. Here, in the physics lab, where the meetings were held monthly, some of its members dem: onstrate their interesting projects. Brother Marcellus, club moderator, planned many interesting trips and demonstrations, while Ben Popera, the president of the club, presided over the meetings. GETTING THE FACTS-As we travel through the school we soon come to the Metal Shop where Brother Cornelius is explaining, to Bob Mayr, Frank Sullivan, and Bob Reg: ula, the complicated procedure in the development of the machinery in the Metal Shop. At the Mount there is an opportunity for those who are planning a future as an engineer to secure the necessary background for this work. lui-1 l'HlliO5Ol'HY ol' the Mounts educa- tional system can he lonnd in the Eng- lish clepartment's tour year tour of l,ltC1'2lLL1l'C, and among the many ap- proved volumes that wait, shelved in the Library cabinets, to he explored. The great thoughts of great men of years past, set forth with unmistakeable soliditv in their writings, are a sure path to learning. Along with our English- teaching Xaverians, we explored the works and lives ol' l,iterature's greatest. XfVe traveled from Iieuzuzzlf to Lllacbeth -from Pope to Eliotetrom .-l to Z in the world of letters-and, no doubt, came out the better for it. Despite senior term papers and exams and allg the lucky ones who passed show that the course is not altogether uneonquerable, only more or less impossible.
