Wofre ame All of us at Notre Dame have been blessed with the gilt of sight, thank God. lxlany of our classes would he less interest- ing if we couldxft see by drawings or experi- ments what is actually happening. ln Chemistry we prove that we have hydro- gen lay burning itg we lmow an acid from n base by seeing the effect of each on litmus paper. Every Sophomore learns the intricate struc- ture of Howers lay examining the pistil, stamens, corolla, and the calyx of many simple Howers. In this way they learn which produces the seeds, which produces the fertilizing element. and the functions of the other parts ot the flowers. lxflany problems in math. have been solved lay drawing graphs to find x or y trememlJer?,: or circles that have been laisected prove a theorem or corollary. One of our rarer moments in Science Class when fasci- nation conquers day dreaming .... Fee Fiddle Fishy in Ihe Biology lab .... Freshman historians endeavor to keep up with the world and its changing boundaries.
