.Srien,cQ, 94 gmp We live in a science-conscious world, where test tubes, beakers, microscopes, and the like are the most important tools of advancement and progress. The la est addition was a guinea pig, Genie , which became the pet of students and teachers. Page 36 General Science . . . is a subject in which the freshmen are initiated into wonders of God's world and the mysteries of nature. lt is an orientation course with bits of everything which will determine whether the freshmen will drift with the tide and become very scientifically minded. .lust watch their serious faces which bespeak of their import- ance as scientists as they march from the lab to their classes. Biology Lab . . . was always an interesting room, where swarms of iuniors pass in and out from early morning till fading dayl A regular menagerie of animals, snakes, frogs--they even raise them- and unidentified creatures was housed there, charts traced feeding experiments, births and re- actions to various stimuli. f

The central point of the curriculum is Religion whch though formally taught in sixty- minute period, permeates the entire day at St. Stanislaus High. The lessons in 'Religion gave us a vital realization of God as the source of all moral obligation, we all are accountable to Him in the first place and in the second to self and others whether superiors, equals or inferiors. The Quiz held before the student body was the climax of the reading and study of lives of Christ, Our Blessed Lady, the Saints-God's Supermen. The Juniors admit that the selected reading inspired them to a better than mediocre Catholic life. We learned the absolute need of supernatural aid to lift our lives to spiritual levels through good workers, prayers, Sacraments and the Holy Sacrifice of Mass. Page 35

They hope that they do not chance upon something like an atomic bomb! lt is interesting to watch life in various forms. Physics It is difficult even for a scientist to keep abreast with all the discoveries. It seems that man has harnessed nature and makes it perform wonders. Science no longer is discussed by scientists in the sanctuary of a research laboratory, but it has even crowded out stories from the first page of a news- paper. Even a iournalist today has to have some foundation in scientific education. One is iust not educated without at least some courses in science regardless what field or profession he follows. The world just waits with stified breath for the possibilities derived from atomic theory. Radios with television are to be on the market at a rea- sonable price, within the purse of moderate fami- lies soon after this book comes out of print. ln- deed, this is a scientific world. An ordinary boy or even girl needs very little encouragement to study the laws of nature in physics class. The embryonic scientists revel in the capabilities of light, heat, energy, electricity, magnetism, and force, trying at least to grasp the fundamentals underlying these laws. Page 37
