English Classes Bolstered For her sophomore English Class, Marilyn Swartz gives a demonstration speech on her unique talent for makingbut- terflies out of foam. Shakespeare's It's a mad, mad, world described to perfection the Neumann High Eng- lish department as it strove to stimulate stu- dent involvement. Students participated in a wide variety of activities including discussing literary works in small groups, acting our Shakespearean drama in the classroom, and viewing film strips on the background of mod- ern musicals. All of these activities prepared the students for more effective communication with their peers. In the small discussion mods all the stu- dents were able to probe deeper into the works of the great authors from the early Greek and Roman ages to contemporary times. Trying to impress the very essence of English upon their students were the fearless foursome of the English department: Sr. Rosa- lee, Sr. Dolorosa, Sr. Veronica and Sr. Patricia, each striving to have their students excel in this field. Neumann was also fortunate to have Mrs. Cantrell take over the senior class's study of Dostoyevsky's CRIME AND PUNISHMENT dur- ing Sr. Rosalee's illness. The never ending search for knowledge continues as Sister Dolorosa, Sister Rosalee, Sister Veronica, and Sister Patricia compare their notes on English classes, lectures, and new ways to improve the newly organized English resource center. Devotion such as theirs is basic for the advancement of students. THE BEAUTY NOOK, Pearle Fendrich, Owner, Prague, Nebraska

Languages Conquered By Classmen Whoever said, Latin has long since been dead and buried, never took this fascinating and totally captivating language during the 1969-70 school year at Neumann High. Doubling as teacher and librarian, Sister Vincent de N. D. not only succeeded in resurrecting this ancient language but also in allowing it to go totally mod to the utter delight of her fresh- man Latin I and sophomore Latin II classes. Likewise, French students were pleased with the approach used by Sister Patricia M.S., one of the newest addition to this insti- tution's teaching staff. She brought bounce and new meaning into this modern, romantic lan- guage with the help of realistic dialogues, tapes, workbooks, and new earphones. The students were brought closer to French cus- toms and culture, enhanced by her own unique way of teaching. Mary Nemecek gleams as she won a game of Roma” (a Latin bingo) in her Latin II class. Meanwhile John Knuth and Patti Kane await another chance. Turn on, tune in, is Sr. Patricia's theme as she plugs in Jim Safranek. The French I tapes proved beneficial in help- ing to conquer a new language. Sister Vincent familiarizes students with the concept of a new language and also acts as librarian. She is shown here with the paperback books that are available.
