God ' s Gifts Patricia Huth and Michaelene Weidner, budding horticulturists, entice some male bialogists to peer curiously into the new conservatory which adjoins the biology room. These future professional scientists, Kathleen Gehring and Michael King, are practicing their future life ' s work. In this instance, they are demonstrating to the rest of the senior chemistry class their ability John Ray looks puzzled as Robert Jurrus says, Nothing to it, to John Bugner and James Zender. These four physics students calculate the expansion rate of copper, one of many experiments performed. 22 James Wenzke, Donald Woessner, and William Welker compare surface develop- ment in Drafting I.

the order of the Universe Leona Hohman and Donald Burdett listen to the explana- tion of a spherical angle being given by Edward Shultz in Solid Geometry. From the expressions on their faces one gathers that Ed certainly knows what he ' s talking about. Let no one unacquainted with geometry enter here. his motto was placed above the entrance of the chool of Plato, a great philosopher and teacher. !he plane geometry class is learning the relationship letween numbers and geometric figures. Peter Dauer Ihows Janice Cool and Alan Creeger how to construct six sided figure. As Carlos Espano looks on, Hugh Clark shows Betty Yarris how to practice problems while learning the use of a slide rule. These trigonometry students know that a knowledge of the slide rule will shorten the hours of work needed to master a higher moth course. Michael Reiter and Michael Mogers have a doubtful look on their faces as they watch Paula Steyer solve a second year algebra problem. Learn- ing to use the graph is an important port of the second year algebra course. 21

No, he ' s just showing Mil(e Etchen how sound waves vary and why these variations cause a change in pitch in both the musical in- strument and the human voice. Mike doesn ' t quite understand but he ' ll take Mr. Her- man ' s word. The attention of Gary Scherger, Clifford Young, and Richard Park is focused on Ronald Aurand in this physical science class. He Is explaining to them the process by which natural gas is brought from its origin to your home. to perform an experiment concerned with the coloring of acid. Man has alwa ' ys had on inquisitive mind — a mind filled with questions of how and wh ' y. Science, which is an insight to the realm of God, attempts to organ- ize and distinguish fact from fiction in an effort to answer these never- ending and challenging questions. Keeping with modern trends in education, St. Wendelin offers a com- plete high school science program. Accuracy is essential in drafting, and students lake pride in constructing figures. Here Larry Scholk and Donald Crawford observe the drofting efforts of John Peiffer and Joseph Burkart.
