Languages The Accent Is on Excellence It was a strong year for the various classes in the Language Department. Putting the accent on excellence, the members of the Latin classes, under the direction of Sister Mary Teresa and Sister Cecilia Marie, worked hard. Mr. Martin Tierney, head of the Spanish Department, again made use of his travels in South America and the experience he gained there to en- rich the members of his classes. Mrs. Maxine Hartman, also returning to Central Catholic for her second year, also taught Spanish. Coming to CC from Massachusetts, Sister Francis Michael brought much enthusiasm and her excellent teaching methods. Teaching most of her class- es in French, she made a deep im- pression on her students and en- couraged many to pursue their studies. Various projects were undertaken in the classes to keep interest and the will to keep studying alive. A Latin Day was held by students in Novem- ber.

Religion Teachers Take New Direction The Religion Department of Central Catholic underwent some changes this year, under the direction of Father Hammond and Father Henry Mas- cotte, the head of the department. Quarter evaluations replaced the grading system, and students had conferences with their teachers to de- termine the progress which was being made. Most students felt this was a big step forward. They had a chance to get to know their teachers and talk with them about things on a personal level. The Religion Department was com- posed of Father AAascotte, Sister Fran- cis Michael, Mr. Youngpeter, Sister Michele, Sister Andrew, Sister Mary Leah, Mr. Foley, Mr. Shank, Sister Joel, Father Kuzmich, Father Koers, Father Carkenord, Father Tirabassi, Father Gillig, Father Blank, Father Durkin, Mr. Keith Miller, and Father Patterson. Class discussions and the discovery method were used in many of the classes, along with lectures on theolo- gy and Christian doctrine. Father Dave Carkenord stops outside the Gui ' dance Office.
