HISTORY ROUNDUP. History classes relive America's story Bradley Jaeck, Barbara Drilla, Steffen Kiesler, Marge Cumi- through panel discussions. Left to right: Tom Stuelke, cek, Bill Mauer. lVIan's Stor , Past and Present Twentieth century neo-historians found the story of their beginnings rooted in the far-flung past. The social science courses indicated the basic movements and ideas which lay beneath manls long trek through the centuries. Strong contrasts, countered by a striking sameness, dominated the pattern of human activity during ancient, medieval, and modern times. On the scene of the American story, students relived the independence of the Revolution, followed the frontier settlers, spoke up with them for democracy, and advanced to an America grown up and still maturing. An introduction to different thinking responsible for other ways of life sowed seeds of world-mindedness as well as a greater appreciation for one's own country. Sifting fact from opinion, distinguishing fundamental from secondary causes, evalu- ating opinions influenced by emotion and prejudice established habits of mature and intellectual thinking for daily use.

Kur- Space, the Blast Off in Science By nature man is inquisitive. Curiosity about the world has set the wheels of science in motion. From an intellectual standpoint, a principal advance in modern times has been made in the growth of scientific and technical knowl- edge. This in turn stimulated a greater field of research in the utilization of the forces of nature to provide food, shelter, and security. The impact of this movement left its earmark on the academic picture throughout the entire nation. Caught in the scientific whirlwind, students of St. Catherines science department settled down to a more serious study of physics, chemistry, advanced science, and biology. Textbooks were brought up to dateg the dying embers of math were revivedg furrowed brows became more intent on hairline accuracyg tolerance received a raised-eyebrow look. Often the afternoon lab sessions lengthened on into the hours of dusk. Calculating, probing, observing brought to light the darkest secrets of the world.
