Imbibing a bit of brew from a Science Fair yeast experiment are Tom Gavin, Mary Miller, Kathy Gallagher, and John Slack. Entries in the 1964 Science Fair, held in April and moderated by Brother Edward Libbers, were categorized into these four: chem- istry, biology, math, or physics. Usually those entries that scored highest in the final judging tied in with personal hobbies. To do really well, a project had to represent a degree of dedication and some real, patient research. First place in physics went to Ken Susnjara for his exhibits on celestial photography with the Schmidt camera. Joan Probst, ex- hibiting how the forces of math go togetlier, won first in math. In biology Mike Dunn took the blue ribbon with a project called impos- ingly, The Relation of Feeding time to the Radiological Preven- tion of Regeneration Dugesia. First place in chemistiy went to Marva Zemlyak and Barb VViUicki for an exhiljit on the efTect of insecticides on living organisms. Concerning his cloud chamber , Walt Filipek answers a pointed question posed by Margaret Jackson.

In Social Studies audio- isuaI aids ha e become increasingly pop- ular. Particularly is this true in history and geography. Brother Wilbert, for example, has a regu- lar schedule of films that tie diiect- ly to the material in history covered at a particular time. A series of filmstrips on the Spanish conquer- ors was presented by Mr. De Vleigher in his Latin American History ' class. Bulletin boards, tastefully and regularly covered with interesting pictures, charts, and maps, help foster student interest in subject matter. The range of social studies avail- able is great. In the boys ' depart- ment U.S. History and Goxern- ment are required. World History, Economics, Latin American His- toi-) ' , and Geography are electives. The girls department presents World Histoiy to either freshmen or sophomore students. U.S. His- tory-, Government, and Sociology follow in the jimior and senior years. Presidential elections in the fall made outside material useful. TIME and NEWS VEEK pubr lished articles on current evenfs which were used extensively in Government courses.
