Science Department Leads to Discovery Beware! Future scientists of the world are at large here at St. Al's. Reluctant chemists puzzle over such earth- shattering topics as the configuration of atoms. Meanwhile Miss Romanchuk gives encourage- ment to students whose lab experiment on aceta- mide backfired. In another classroom, Mr. Miller tries to calm the queasy stomachs of the biology students as they begin their first dissection. Future Arrow physicists, as well as Mr. Hogan, are amazed at their own skill to compute the amounts of mechanical energy needed. Their pride diminishes as they are expected to show their newly learned knowledge on a test the next day. Relax! Now you are out of the danger zone of the future scientists. It is hoped that the knowledge of these Arrow students will help them to take an active part in the coming era of scientific advancement. RIGHT: Marty Ryzak and Bob Pietrzyk conscientiously work on a mixture necessary for lob session. FAR RIGHT: Ben Audio and Dan Burton watch carefully as Mr. Miller shows them exactly what to look for in the specimen. ABOVE: Miss Romanchuck goes over the answers of a previous Biology test with her students. ABOVE RIGHT: Mike Zawacki double checks his Physics assign- ment with the assistance of Mr. Hogan. ABOVE FAR RIGHT: Chris Slaby watches cautiously to see what the ultimate results will be of her experiment. 24

Foreign Cultures Inspire Students' Lives When one walks into Room 203, he can sud- denly feel the air of Spain, its matadors and the bullfights they engage in as Mrs. Gugala relates it to her students. Or else you can picture yourself on the pampas of Argentina, seeing a few gauchos riding on their slow-trotting horses. But when one enters Room 208, he can feel L'Espirit de Francois as Mr. Headley speaks of France and its culture. Along with the necessary grammar and usage instructions, the French textbook is filled with humorous stories about the French people and their interesting school system and customs. Finally one can experience the glorious days of Rome and of Caesar, as Sister Clare Celmer or Sister Marie Harold bring out the wonders of Latin to their students. With the expert help and guidance of the Language teachers, the Arrow strives to become the exceptional linguist, and when he reaches his goal, the Arrow can know and relate to the world a little bit better through the languages he speaks.
