HOMER — reveals secrets of anatomy to the health class as Lana Bowers, Emil and Nick Toodzio watch Mr. Lynch remove a portion of the lung from the plastic model. Curriculum Health as a subject of the high school curriculum is of prime impor- tance. Scientific research in recent years has so increased medical knowledge that today everyone en- joys health benefits unheard of in previous generations. The student gains an intelligent understanding of the human body and mind in order to maintain good health and at the same time is to be imbued with a desire to achieve the highest de- gree of physical and mental fitness. Biology is the study of life — plant life, animal life, and the life of human beings. Those studying biology are led into complex soc- ieties, where plants and animals live in vital relationship with each other. They study the life of the forest and the ocean depths. The biologists explore miniature worlds where animals no larger than a pinhead feed on still smaller forms of life. LET’S GO FISHING’ Michael Zwolinski attempts in the Biology Lab.

WHICH WAY DID HE GO? Students of Virgil trace the route of Aeneas from Troy to Carthage. Third and fourth year Latin students, William Kearns, Sharon Helmrich, and Roberta Wedge study the map in order to better visualize the travels of Aeneas.

Offers Several Sciences Chemistry investigates the materials out of which the world is made. Some of these things can be seen and others cannot be been; but the chemist investigat- es composition, inner structure, and changes — not form. Valuable contributions of this science to our way of living are so numer- ous that learning the “hows” and “whys M of chemistry is an im- portant asset in the modem world. In these days, when science plays such an important role in our lives, physics is an essen- tial part of the high-school pro- gram. Man has made wonderful strides in the field of science, but there is still much to be accomplished. The course in physics aids us to solve the many problems that we will meet in life. BE EXACT! Sister Fabiana, the Phy- sics instructor, Joe Slowinski, Jane Ronan, and Gail McFarlane compare their readings. OH THAT OBNOXIOUS SMELL! Jane Crimmons doesn ' t show the worked by George Foster, Michael Shier, and Larry Peek. The real scientific spirit when she disapproves of the experiment being boys seem unperturbed by the “odor . 21
