4 LISTENING INTENTLY for the anticipated note, Junior physicist Peter O'Hara holds a vibrating tuning fork over partially filled glass measuring flask. It was a simple experiment in sound required in the physics course. 8 l l .- l I 1 r . -:r:' . I Q 3 A .Ms ef , - . If 'rg i ff rr on , . ARRIVING FOR ANOTHER day's work, Robert Temme and James Kennedy enter Room 55. Both had a long trip to school. Temme was from Brooklyn, Kennedy from Queens. Both felt that hour-long trip was worth the effort. u T MEASURING THEIR RAPID physical growth -Brian Cox levels the bar over Dennis Kreitsek while Richard Greenan looks on. Scale was in the doctor's office. Students could make appointments to see him when he visited the school. TRYING TO CATCH the beep-beep of Sputnik ll, Dermot Finn and Peter Negroni toy with the schooI's oscilloscope. They got nothing but the usual pretty green line on the screen- later tested sound waves with a portable radio attached. A DELICATE BALANCING ACT goes on, below, as Thomas Cottingham and Robert Temme measure some weights to the nearest gram. At least two full periods were spent each week in the school lab. THIRTEEN MORE STUDENTS of the forty member class pose in genuine style. They are: Left to Right-First Row: Edward Pryle, Gary Gerardi, Joseph Walsh, Kenneth Carty, Dennis Kreitsek, Joseph Murphy, Thomas McTiernan, Patrick Kilcooley. Second Row: James Kennedy, Brian Cox, Richard Greenan, William Delaney, Robert Temme. Average student age was 16, though some were even younger. SITTING AROUND the sixth floor locker room, above, Juniors work out team strategy for the coming intramural tourney. They are Peter Negroni, Joseph Murphy, Patrick Kilcooley, Thomas McTiernan and John Carr. During the intramural season, every class entered a team with first and second year students entering two teams each. The tourney creates more excitement than some of the varsity games. It seems kids would still rather play than watch.

GATHERED ON STAIRWAY LANDING, Juniors share the latest news and iokes. They are: John Tucker, William Delaney, Kevin Sullivan and Robert Frederickson. Like most kids, they could always find something to laugh about. FOUR DAPPER JUNIORS, below, appear to be modeling the latest styles. They are Peter Bohlman, Peter O'Hara, Paul Stefanski and John Carr. Towards year's end, Juniors began thinking in terms of college and iobs. Some took the early College Entrance Board tests-if only to get an idea what they were like and some practice in them. Next year, college will be harder than ever to enter. .3 T
