Language Department Should you happen to hear the shouts of Et tu Brute” or dann gibf es nur eins — Sag Ncinl , don’t panic; you probably heard one of Bcnildc's language classes. Mrs. Wilson skillfully assisted her students in the study of French. In their fourth year, French students belong to a co-operative program with St. Mar-gret’s Academy. If anyone is interested in the speeches of Don Quixote or the real reason behind the defeat of the Spainish Armada, take Mr. Slcnglcin or Mr. Kondrak’s Spainish classes. One of the most comprehensive languages at Benildc is German. This four year program is designed to provide a student with the balanced knowledge of the language and culture of Germany. Last, but not least, is Latin. Since Latin is the only classical language at Benildc, Mr. Murphy tries to tic in the history and mythology of all the ancient cultures. 21
