Two New Courses Challenge Interested Students One is the Course in AFRO-ASIAN CULTURE which SISTER MARY ANDREA is offering to the Seniors for the first time this year. SISTER ANDREA had received a Federal Grant to specialize in this field at Georgetown last summer, and is therefore well quali- fied to present the course. The group discussions have given even rather timid students courage to express their opinions, and under Sister's guidance and through their own research on assigned topics all have gained new insights into the problems of these continents. In the picture at the right. K MIN- AHAN is explaining the character- istics of certain foods from India. For this session of the class she had pre- pared a kind of Indian “pancake” which all tasted. For another session D. CHUDY appeared in Oriental Dress. This paved the way for the ex- position of interesting views on the subject of conventional and tradition- al dress. SISTER MARY ANDREA delights her classes, whether they are Seniors or Freshmen, by her clear explanations and her ability to find a grain of truth in their answers. In the picture below arc K. W1NGET and A. EDWARDS, two more members of the AFRO-ASIAN CULTURE course. They are earnestly attentive to the points being discussed. The second course introduced this year is the COURSE in RUSSIAN given by MISS ANN MURPHY, who also teaches French. As soon as news of the new course was circulated. A. EDWARDS (Senior). B. BLAIR and D. McCABE (Juniors) and A. BUDIN and C. MURA (Sophomores) immediately signed up. All of these students arc HONOR STUDENTS and will therefore not find the language TOO difficult. 110
