“Une Bonne Heure” Had In Foreign Language Studies A good time was had in French classes this year. French II students gave Sis- ter Patricia a St. Patrick’s Day party in the midst of their verbal tense studies. French I pupils made a variety of proj - ects in their first encounter with the French culture. Sister Vincent and Father Zastrow used the classical approach in teaching freshman and sophomore Latin. Latin lin- guists translated accounts of the Roman Empire and Julius Caesar. Improving individual read- ing, speaking, and writing abil- ities composed freshman lan- guage arts pupils class periods. Under Sister Dolorosa, the lan- guage arts class also learned to utilize the library facilities. Games and projects acquaint students with a people and their language in Sis- ter Patricia’s classes. Binding magazines tor cataloging is one of the tasks Sister Mary Vincent finds necessary for a pleasant library. 22 Freshman language arts students Vickie Rezac and Darlene Skibinski enjoy learning by listening to records. Karen Janecek becomes a little French girl, and Diane Cihal a Christmas tree in their French II Christmas skit.

At the board, Sister Stephanie demon- strates form and style with chalk for interested senior art students. Senior art displays draw many admirers to the art room where Mark Lackey ex- plains the kiln-drying and glazing of clay projects to underclassmen Julie Lanik and Donna Slaughter, who enjoy the original creations of art students. Wood Chips And Paint Swirls In Art Driftwood takes on new dimensions and beauty when Pat Shanahan applies a steady hand and a sharp knife. Mark Otte is certainly getting a head” by fashioning this one from plaster-of- paris for display at the art show. “Pandora’s Paintbox,’’ better known as the art room, was the scene of many master- pieces of color this year. Among the many surprises in the tiny, but active, room were two pieces of sculpture created by Larry Spicka and Patrice Behrns which qualified for the District Art Show. Other displays in clay craft which received awards at the Ladies’ Club Art Show were designed by Larry Spicka, Patti Lanik, and Kathy Bohaty. Mark Otte and Cliff Thege excelled in the plaster-of-paris media while Mike Shanahan and Myron Benes won recognition with their impressionistic drawings. Displays of these special proj- ects, wood carvings, and paintings added a spark of beauty and interest to the art room. 23
