Languages — Keys To Communication And Culture “Bonjour, Jeanne ... Hola, Paco ... Ave, Galba. . .” These simple greetings start first year students on their way to mastering one of the three foreign languages taught at Feehan — French, Spanish, or Latin. French classes are taught by S.M. Barbara McMichael, S.M. Sheila, Mrs. Monique Marvelle, and Mr. Ronald Cote. Classes range from freshman and sophomore French | to the newly established advanced program. The latter provides junior and senior students with enough background in the language an opportunity to concentrate on French literature through the ages. In Spanish |, Il, and Ill, taught by Sister Barbara McMichael and Sister Mary Smith, colorful posters and slides, lively tapes and records enliven the study of language and culture. Some Spanish students are growing more excited at the prospect of summer study at the University of Salamanca in June. Though the Latin class may lack quantity, they do have quality! With Sister Mary Elizabeth as guide, they combine learning the language with learning about the ancient Romans who spoke it. Whether in classical or modern language courses, Feehan students realize the importance of language mastery in the world which has become a “global village.” Intent on Spanish dialogues are Sharon Laporte and Susan Kerrins.
