Science continued Science is God's thought discovered by man. As physics students test their discovery of the lifting force of water to raise Fred Uchwat an inch or two. Anne Tambeau takes a skeptical view of the situation. Tom Martz stands ready to add to the column of H20 as Sister Therese Ann and Ronald Yaszek check all connections to insure good results. • • • • patience to do simple things perfectly is personified in physics students John Cavanaugh and Dennis Guyitt as they patiently test meniscus formation. Connie Plante. Casimer Sorek, Ronald Smith and Bob Najmowicz attest to the fact that they too . . . will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily. An up-to-date look at the weather is taken by members of the Earth Science class. John Schikora indicates to Eunice Rosalik and Kathleen O'Reilly the paths of moving cold and warm fronts on a series of daily weather maps as charted for the use of the meteorologists at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Checking their knowledge of the symbols used on these maps are Cynthia Ludwig and Gerald Kubik. 14

Biology teaches reverence and respect for the orderliness of all in nature. As the bio'ogy class prepares to understand by dissection the place of the grasshopper in that order a good amount of speculation is evident. What is the future of this grasshopper held by Tom Dobrowolski as Richard Alfonsi and Gerry Kerpet stand ready to go into action? The logical approach to any prob em is investigation. An inten- sive. persistent investigation in the laboratory on the part of Ed Dorrington and other chemistry students leads to a better understanding of the action and reaction of nature's e ements. Man's eye requires delicate instruments to catch a glimpse of fhe marvels in the universe. Tom Kelly indicates on a thermometer the temperature of HjO in one container as Roger Susalla prepares to test still another. David Franchi. Michael Bonkowski and William Martz aren't too certain of the reaction to be expected. 13

Michael Ortman is not attempting to read Bonnie Suder's palm but is follow- ing Irene Sienkiewicz' rather dramatic explanation of wrist and hand bones. This first-hand lesson in the physiology class is also being enjoyed by Loretta Dragula and Douglas Lehr. The students of Semi-micro Chemistry soon learn the need for good order and the proper respect for delicate apparatus. Under the careful scrutiny of Edward Kozlowski (right), Albert Kozleski (left) removes a delicate balance while Frances Lamerto and Marilyn Peszynski pre- pare to use acids and reagents for their experimentation. The total mass in this group of physics students could never ©qua the potential energy contained therein. If the purposefulness evident in their concentrated atten- tion comes to fruition, the research laboratories of tomorrow will be filled with the seniors of today. 15
