Foreign languages explore. . beyond grammatical limits Romanticism of speaking in a foreign language has held stu- dents captive for centuries. Those who have taken a foreign lang- uage during the past year proved to be no exception. Both the French and = Spanish students took advantage of the new media facilities to increase their knowl- edge of the language they chose to study. The variety of instru- ments used by the language de- partment ranged from recorded versions of Camus’ play ‘‘Anti- gone” in French, to trips to both Spain and France. Cultural ideas brought back have aided stu- dents in gaining a better under- standing of these languages. Yet various media and overseas field trips were not all that the language department of- fered. In both French and Span- ish, levels one and two dealt with aquiring a working knowledge of basic vocabulary and teaching students to be able to express themselves in their language. Le- vels three and four in Spanish, and levels three through five in French were concerned with the literary aspects of the culture. With the excellent teachers and course material, the students cannot help but benefit. French IV students don earphones and sit busily listening to Antigone. Stumped momentarily, Sister Sheila maintains her composure and awaits the next question.

Science plays a lead role in the building of a solid education in class and lab where experiment and theory combine. During the past year, the students have se- lected new interest Courses ac- cording to their own preferences. These included ecology, astro- nomy, and Medical Themes from Television, a course which com- bined entertainment with learn- ing. Developing through these new courses, students have come to appreciate the value of educa- tion. In Physiology class, Nina Lombardi marvels at the beauty of minute creat- ures rarely seen by man. ‘Easy does it,” says Sister Elizabeth McAuliffe, assisting Chris Aussant in the methods of experimentation. Arthur Anderson and = Mark Masse puzzle through a few mountainous equations in the chemistry lab. 14 Science captivates students’ interest in laboratories
