Remarks such as these emanated daily from the science lab, where future Curies and Salks struggled to learn the fundamentals of Biology and Chemistry under Sister Dorothea Marie's capable instruction. We foimd that such activities as making Hydrogen sulfide and dissecting frogs weren't so bad as we had expected. More advanced students struck out on their own, and used their ingenuity and skill in individual scientific projects, ln the lab of L,G,C, may be found the future scientists of the Atomic Age! Therese Thomas, Cecelia Sanford, Donna Mc- Evoy, Lynne Mordaunt, and Rita Campbell work out their experiments under Sister Dorothea Marie's direction, 'Does that look right yet? asks Therese Thomas, as Rita Campbell examines the vegetable dye which they have distilled as a science project, I can't believe l look like thatl laughs Pamela Earle, as Carole Willding attempts to name the parts of the anatomical chart for Melinda Luther and the Biology class,

The early Greeks and Arabians originated mathematics, we at L,G,C. are earnestly applying their findings, Although most of us will not be formulating our own mathe- matical theorems in the near future, we are getting a good basic background in math, We learned the fundamentals in Algebra, then went on to the logic of Plane Geometry, ln our senior year we advanced to a high level. The intricacies of Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry were unwoven to us, and we discovered a world of mathematical figures, Rose Healy and Jane Smith try to explain how they solved that complicated Analytic Geometry problem, i.. .- . Joan Wilson, Virginia Vissing, Bonnie Martin receive corrections during Algebra, Is this right? P, Earle, L, Bennet, and V Brunner struggle with Geometry, RISEN
