Sciences Lead Students on With the passing of every school year at St. Stanislaus, science has proved to be a valuable experience to many of the students involved. To those interested, the science department offers many courses such as Earth Science, Introduc¬ tory Physical Science, biology, chemis¬ try, oceanography, and physics. A new addition to the science curricu¬ lum was Advanced Biology. It is taught by Mr. Ron Engel who was recently honored as the Biology Teacher of the Year by the Mississippi Secondary Schools. All science courses give students first hand information about their particular course. Student experiments and pro¬ jects have proved to be invaluable as they give a clear visual perspective.

Grammar Tests Students Grammar is a challenging and interest¬ ing subject to all students. Grammar teaches the mechanics of paper writing to all students. Reading class teaches a student how to use books and libraries correctly. The ultimate goal of grade school reading class is for a student to know how and where to get information from various sources. Literature classes for freshmen consist in studying short stories and the Eliza¬ bethan period. Sophomores study tales from Medieval times, Shakespeare and Julius Caesar. Juniors study American Literature from Washington Irving to Ten¬ nessee Williams. Seniors are instructed in English Literature from the Anglo-Saxon period to contemporary writings.
