IT' I . a dramatic monologue, Mary Louise ENGLISH l ickey brings to life'THE BARRETTS ' V 5 F WIMPOLE STREET- As young women we need to be hungry for new insights. Literature, since it explores our own unique nature, has the power to strengthen, beautify, and Christianize us . We can be transformed by our 'contact with the magic of words . Literature illustrates our sorrows, ioys, ten- sions, and needs, and allows our spirit to grow in its ability to wonder. lf we sense this wonder, the full excitement of our transformation will begin to satisfy our hunger iust enough to let us reach out for more . Searching scientists Janice'Finn and Mary Malgoire calculate chemical accuracy. g RELIGION anal.. The search for truth is a search having infinite dimensions . lt must involve personal exploration of every touch of life and of the Love-Being we call God . The religion class L seeks to draw out individual perception, and in struggling to speak clearly of things not understood , students become powerfully involved in ioy, in suffering, in ideas, and in one another. The process is not completed but is rather be gun, for each perception reveals infinite dimensions to be discovered in manls celebration of truth . ' Q MATHEMATICS An adventure into the abstract awaits students of mathe- matics at NDB. The problems' encountered lead to ques- tions: sometimes temporarily put aside unanswered , but never disregarded as unimportant . Students develop a new way of thinking as they generalize formulas, ap- ply them, and gain a new understanding ofthe realm of theory . ' ,

Wonder and sometimes :onfusion result in physics, chemistry, and biology vhen students extend their senses in a search for truth . Ndventurous girls open themselves to the awesome nysteries of reality . They discover that science, far :rom being mere abstract theory, involves the whole- 1ess of existence itself. ' ART The Art Department swings in total freedom. By. the demand of medium and form, students learn to discover freedom through discipline . They are given new vision with which they discover every innuendo of life . IANGUAGE To take on the mentality of another people is vital to the study of a foreign' language and to the development of a deep-rooted respect for men whose environment is different from our own . The Language Department aims toward the celebration of the brotherhood of all men through its efforts to give this necessary insight into the many ways in which men throughout the world 'ive and communicate . MUSIC The customary breach between musician and audience is bridged at Notre Dame where the universality of man's oldest self-expression is stressed . Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul. To prove Plato contemporary must necessarily be a daily undertaking, and daily are we confronted with the multi-colored facets of music . HISTORY History is the story of man and his search for the best way to live and to be hu- man . The History Depart- ment communicates to its students the experiences of the past from which the present has been formed . ln this way students are able to understand and use these happenings to create - that better future which all men 'seek . v k:i , ' N I , il-4 1 Ei za is if
