Musical Chairs, French Valentines, Festive Mardi Gras Spark French Musical chairs tested freshman speed as they raced to catch une place vide. Flicking French flashcards, Sister Patricia Stoeckinger found her young recruits always alert. The student approaching Sister Patricia had to translate the card from francais a anglais. Any correct answer assured a reserved spot in the winner's circle, a chair. Any error left one a victim of standing room only. Highlights of the French I year introduced several firsts. Among those were crossword puzzles, hangman, valentines, and an imita- tion New Orleans Mardi Gras, all Frenchly attributed. Comments from a second year French class claim, there’s never an end to the homework.” Sister Patricia, however, did believe that French wasn't all work. She planned an informal meal francais scheduled during fourth quarter. Sister Patricia Stoeckinger calls out the French word. An excited Terry Polak knows the answer. Will it be victor or victress as Steve Hruby and Lona Skoda go round and round in the hope of acquiring the winning seat. Ladies first? Not in this case. In a photo finish. Larry Matulka captures the winning seat from Kim Roach. 23

Art Students Bring Home Ribbons Three purple ribbons won by Liz Malm, Cindy Styskal and Kim Roach climaxed an active year of projects and contests. Actively on the road, Art II classes took three trips to area galleries and to the Old Market in Omaha. Seven students’ works were entered in the Scholastic Awards Contest and about 55 pro- jects were entered in the First An- nual JFK Exhibit. The same ex- hibits were then entered in the Women’s Club Art Exhibit. Activity in the classroom was increased when two pottery wheels were added to the art studio. Thirty-one Art I and Art II students found that the magic number “40” resulted in beautifully well-formed pot shapes. Each student had to throw 40 pots. Other activities for Art I students included sculpture in papier m£ch6, designing of “God’s eyes and basic printmaking. Industrial arts, now in the se- cond year, had an enrollment of 54 students. Welding was a new offer- ing. Booths were equipped with ox- yacetylene and electric arc welders. With this, the I.A. depart- ment reached its expansion limit. 24 Lorene Maly and Ann Chmelka smile as they put the finishing touches on their “God's eye.” UPPER RIGHT, Sister Paula Melmer de N.D. demonstrates the art of silk-screening to Lynne Hraban.
