Team-teaching classes met in auditorium or cafeteria for lectures or panel discussions. In the A-V Room, we gathered for SRA composition lessons illustrated on the over- head projector. Greek, Latin, anybody? No, these are our vocabulary development records which analyze the structure, meaning, and usage of words. Study of basic types of literature, vocabulary, grammar and composition occupy the Freshmen. Sophomores continue with fundamentals but study American Literature. English Literature from Beowulf to Shelley, intensive composition and vocabulary study constitute Junior English. Remember our Shakespeare Festival with its models of the Globe Theater, its doll figures of Shake- spearean characters, its colorful posters lining the corridors, and especially our own Junior version of Romeo and Juliet, 1965! Seniors con- centrate on depth study of drama, poetry, and the modern novel, and a close study of exposi- tory writing culminating in a research, critical esSay. Aims of the English department are to teach stu- dents to express themselves logically and to develop the facility to evaluate critically what they read. This is what Sister Mary Noel, chairman, and her assistants, S.M. Enda, S.M. Faith, S.M. Angelica, S.M. Hope, Miss McSoley, Mr. O’Boy, and Mr. Thibault strive to attain. Leaving his Freshman English class, Mr. Paul O’Boy gathers material for his World History period.

Latin, the language of ancient Rome, which con- tributed so much to the languages and civilization of the entire world, deserves a place of honor in the study of languages. It is given its rightful place in Feehan’s curriculum which offers a four year course. Our best Latin students excel in English vo- cabulary. Latin has been kept alive by the Church in its use in the Mass. In its own right, however, Latin as the language of one of the greatest literatures in the western world, deserves study, respect, and preservation.° Feehan’s Language department is headed by Sister Mary Angelica who teaches second, third, and fourth year Latin. She is assisted by Sister Mary Enda and Sister Mary Noel, who teach first and sec- ond years.
