English IL III IV, Creative Writing Our English department is being conducted by Sister St. George and Sister Pauline Theresa. It is through these sis- ters that we gain communication and composition skills. Both of them recognize the need for seminarians with excel- lent linguistic skills. They hope we can analyze, think and share our ideas with others. Through love and dedication, these sisters also help promote a strong literary foundation. OUR ENGLISH PROGRAM Here, we stress that English is of primary importance. During freshman year, we learn the fundamentals of gram- mar, enrich our usage of vocabulary and study the basic concepts of literature. In sophomore year, we practice our skills in literary composition and learn more about various forms of literature while expanding our intellectual knowl- edge in vocabulary. During junior and senior years we exper- ience the great works in American and British Literature. This page is sponsored by Wittier Young Co. (LA.) 22 Faculty

At Queen of Angels, we are given the opportunity to learn an extra language ottier ttian Englishi and our own native languages. The foreign language department is a major part of the seminary curriculum. The two lan- guages available for study are Spanish and Latin. Spanish is taken by everyone in the first two years, during which Spanish grammar, vocabulary and colloquial expressions are introduced and practiced. During junior and senior years Spanish is taken by those students who are truly interested in the language. Those students put into practice all the knowledge they have acquired in reading, composition and dialogue. Latin is also offered to the third and fourth year stu- dents. In studying Latin, we increase our understanding of the English language. In the first year, vocabulary and grammar are stressed. Second year Latin requires a greater dedication in which a comprehensive under- standing of the language is achieved. 1.
