Intent .upon the slow process of evaporation and condensation, Ed Mokrycki, Adrian Stasiak, and Charles Hillenbrand carry out a distillation experiment. Below. Handle your slides carefully, or you will prove yourself an amateur in this biology lab. Carol Buell and Pat Donoghue watch Ed McKee's technique. Tom Quartuch points to the rising level of diluted molasses as the oxmosis experiment demonstrates for Mary Ann Denham and Kathy Duskey the move- ment of water through a semi-permeable membrane.

When you multiply, do you put the hairlinev over the,.C or over the D scale? asks Jean O'Gorek while Lois Spychalski, Bob Haas, Bill Schmuhl, Kathy Johnson, and Joan Pahs work intently with their own slide rules. Factors, figures and formulas From a simple system of counting has grown the com- plex science of math which arrives at principles based on logical proof. Whether figuring out the family budget or mulling over an equation in the laboratory, every one will find at sometime a use for the math he has learned in high school. At St. Mary's under the direction of Sister Cyril and Mrs. John Weifenback, the students get a good taste of algebra and geometry. For those who find math challenging, there is advanced algebra, solid ge- ometry and trigonometry. ln our science labs the St. Mary's students guided by Sister Eymard and Sister Cyril, carry on the scientific tradition. Since the birth of experimental science, men have continually sought to find the answers to a never ending stream of questions about the ma- terial universe, New emphasis on the value of scien- tiHc skills is reflected in the high percentage of boys and girls who enroll in the biology, chemistry, and physics classes, eager to understand the world they live in and glad to recognize science as a key to the secrets of God's universe . . . its hidden energies, its ordered laws. Judy Henrich and Dave Gemperle pool their mathematical re- sources.

intrigued by Larry Johnson's opening statement, Tom Quill, Sue Pahs, Sharon Clifford, Roger Dorshak, and Martha Taylor formulate obiections which provoke the interest of the sophomore English students. From syntax to Hemingway From the Periodical Guide to Current Biography and back again, the seniors Georgia Ludtke, Mike Petrick, and Jim Kresminski delve deep into research. Every day the English students End new communication worlds to conquer. They may find themselves lost in a iumbled maze of grammar and syntax, or they may set out upon the uncharted seas of literature and research. In the give and take of class dis- cussion, wits are sharpened by constant use. As motives are analyzed and conflicts are dissected, opinions may differ. To a degree, all may be right. This clash of opinion leads all toward the goal of clear thinking and contident self-expression.
