And you are there.’’ Courses in English brought us ‘‘there’’ this past year. Sophomore students ventured to Salem, Massachusetts, where they visited histori- cal sights, relived times of the witch trials and gained insight into the play ‘‘The Cru- cible.”’ Students in Sister Enda’s World Litera- ture classes experienced Russian atmos- phere. Sr. Enda traveled to parts of Russia during 1976 and gave knowledgeable and interesting background on the Russian people, customs, government, and life styles. Students in this class also had the opportunity to attend Tchaikovsky’s’ ‘‘Nut- cracker Suite.’’ This aided students in understanding attitudes and themes of Russian literature. Sister Marialyn’s Drama class traveled to Emerson College, in Boston, and wit- nessed an Oral Interpretation competition among high school students. This exercise demanded the readers understanding of an author’s work expressed in words and action. Science Fiction students read sto- ries about interplanetary travel, robots, and future-man, by famous authors. They then tried their hand at writing their own literary masterpieces.

Repeat’ Como se llama? Comment vous appe- lez-vous? Qui-appelas? ‘‘Repeat after me.,'’ became a household word to lan- guage students. In addition to grammar, classes were sparked with foreign games, music, and food. Events such as French and Spanish Bingo, Conversation Day, Spanish fiestas with hot, spicy foods, French full-course meals and classical music from around the world took place. Learning about different customs and peo- ples, Spanish, French, and Latin students participated in an indepth study of foreign languages. Through trips to Puerto Rico and Quebec, students experienced foreign cultures firsthand. A reviving interest in the study of Latin was marked by a doubling in class size. The Latin course prepared students for further professions in medi- cine, law, and journalism. 17
