From Theory We Strive Toward Fact A NEW APPROACH TO PHYSICS PROBLEMS appears at the round table of Mr. Kelly each week. Al Warg, Tim Packey, John Pitt, Greg Baranec, Dick Amy, John Walsh, and John Macomber. CHEMISTRY CLUB New plateaus of scientiiic experimentation have been reached by the members of the Chemistry Club at Seton Hall. Mr. Alvin Tirman, the elub's moderator, has tried to foster in the niembcrs an inclination for experimenta- tion in the changing world of chemistry. Every Friday the members of the club meet and conduct experiments in their respective fields of interest. Using the do-or-die approach of the true scientist, the members have investigated such varied problems as hydration, electrolysis, pyrotecnics and chemical analysis. The club members are indebted to llir. Tirman for his patient supervision of their successes and their failures. Nve hope that in future years Seton may breed as Well trained and observant scientists as these inquisi- tive and resolute young men. PHYSICS CLUB Mr. Richard Kelly, moderator and teacher, acts as the keel which keeps the Physics Club course steady and upright. Under his guidance the individual club mem- ber works in the particular field in which he is most proficient. Experiments from the measure of the charge of an electron to the detection and visual representation of the human heart beat were performed and evaluated during the year. Besides increasing their knowledge, the club mem- bers brought the fruit of their experiments to their fellow students through lectures and private discussions. By learning to evaluate their own findings, these inter- ested students learn to rely on themselves in a world where a personal opinion can mean a scientific break- through. THEY WERE WORKING in the lab late one night When their eyes beheld an eerie sight. Suddenly to their surprise An ammonia fountain began to rise. Bob Brink and John Powers are the chemists. FUTURE SCIENTISTS busily at work concocting chemi- cal potions while spreading the tamefand the fumes- of Mr. Tirn'1an's Chem Club. 50

a Smile, a Prayer, a Deed Unselfishl Done EVER BEEN TO A HBANDAGE BEEN? inquire Mission Club workers lrene Fox, Sue White, Joan Wellander, Martine Kissen, Chris Camson, Ann Lessing. MISSION CLUB The goal of the Mission Cluh is to circulate the realization that we are indeed, our hrothers' keepers. Each saerifiee invested in the missions reaps inter- national profits. Of these profits the more important is the spiritual investment, since its far-reaching effects profit the donor as well as the recipient. The Mission Cluh strives to ineuleate in all, this spirit of giving. On the material side, are the thousands of stamps, hottle Caps and handages collected and used for the missions. The sale of aprons adds to the gener- ous weelcly eontrihutions which have heen sent to aid so many, from Eslaimos in Alaska to mission schools in India. Spiritually, Seton delegates attending the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade Convention have returned with more mission-mindedness, a desire to see this spirit elnanate throughout the sehool and a determination to aid their fellow students in looking heyond their own small worlds into the glorious vista of the triumph of Faith throughout the entire world. OFF TO THE VAULT with her treasure ot stamps and bottle caps is Sister Catherine, STAMPS ARE THE SOUND and caps the call when Mission Club members Gail Grattan, Mary Ann Bertuch, Kathy Coville, Mary Lou Ruckel and Karen Matulewich help boost their cause. SEAMSTRESSES ALL when it comes to Mis- sion work, Mary Ellen Walsh and Mary Ann McGonigle add the finishing touches to an- 49 other apron.

We Work Best Because We Work Together STUDENT CQUNCIL A timid freshman hand reached out and felt the strong reassuring senior grasp as a new mem- ber was ollicially welcomed into the Seton Hall family. The event was tI1e Get-Acquainted Dance, the significance, the inaugural step taken by the l962-63 Student Council. It marked the beginning of an enthusiastic and fruitful year of class activity. The organization under the leadership of Michael Cox and Suzanne Cummings and the guidance of Sister Agnes William has proven itself ready, willing and able to cope with the challenges which an active school-life entails. A successful and enjoyable Alumni Day, more orderly locker roins and hallways and a better organized cafeteria may he credited to this year's efforts. Seton Hall's ublue-hutton-bearers realizing that there is always room for improvement are open to suggestion and direction. The Leader- ship Conference held at North Babylon High School found Seton's representatives armed with pencil, paper and healthy ideas. As the middleman, the Student Council strives earnestly to at-liii-vc a successful relation- ship hetwecn student and faculty. With honest effort on the part of all, the fruitful reward can be four wonderful years. CONGRESSMAN OTIS G.
