Students may study botany in detail in the front sec- tion of the sunny biology laboratory where the terra- rium and the various plants are located. Catherine Murray accomplishes the daily duty of watering them. N .xgfomic nergy X as 7 3 ?

During lab period held twice weekly, Carol Oulahan and June Chicoine obtain the necessary chemicals to test mercuric and sulfuric oxide for solubility. .loan Roderick, Karen Resnicky, and Constance Piquado experiment with the chemical activity of sodium and iron and take notes.

Buenos Vacinos The sound of castanets and a lively rhythm attest to the fact that a Spanish class at Regina is a mix- ture of work and pleasure. Besides learning the fundamentals of the lan- guage, students produced the play La Cancion or The Cradle Song, with Spanish dialogue. During the past year, the Spanish department sponsored an ex- change program with a Jesus and Mary school in Mexico City. Two seniors, Mary Beth Morse and Mari- lyn Sheehan received scholarships to study south of the border,', and two Mexican students, Cecilia Escudero and Margarita Christlieb spent a se- mester here at Regina High. Cecilia Maier explains a Russian phrase on the blackboard to Jacqueline Simmons. Lenora Linnenbom, and Noreen Williams. lf Mrs. Ida Connor shares a joke with Cathe- rine Bell, Danny Ferry and Frances Mango proving that the study of Spanish can be fun if the conversational method is used. Pauline Spirk attempts to read a French sen- tence to the class. The correct pronunciation is important and with practice it can be mastered. t f

Contrary to chemistry, which is concentrated on chemical changes in the various elements, this subject familiarizes the stuflents with all physical changes. +4 Observing New Miracles ln the Regina curriculum science has been given its rightful position of importance, because of the challenge oHered with the advent of Sput- nikf, The administration has tried to cope with present trends by introducing special courses such as physics and by acquiring new equipment for the laboratories. As well as dissecting animals, observing life under the microscopes, and using the bioscope, bio- ology students enjoy an occasional field trip such as the one to the Annual Flower Show to aid in understanding botany. The mysteries contained in the elements are revealed to the senior through the age-old use of the test tube. Outstanding students have participated in the science fairs and The Science Talent Search Examination. Films on various experiments sup- plement regular classwork. 39
