Planning For The Future A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops — Henry Adams This is true of almost any academic department at Cardinal Newman, but es- pecially, the Business Department. Miss Winifred Leary, department chairman, with the assistance of Mrs. Nancy Crew and Mrs. Mary Landry developed skills that students will always use. This year the business department was expanded. In addition to the main aspects of the department, Accounting and Typ- ing, a course in speed writing was intro- duced. In this class Mrs. Landry, used the Gregg Notehand technique of proper no- tetaking. Opinions of the new course varied. Patty Mullen, senior, stated that It is like learning a foreign language, it is hard to learn, compared to Mrs. Landry, I love it, I enjoy teaching the class. Dorothy Atwell, junior, concluded, The course will help in taking notes now in high school and later in college. RIGHT: The Business department.

United, They Stand Ready! Set! Go! shouted Jane Panse is she started the stop watch to time her .e. class in the 50-yard dash. This is only )ne of the many requirements for the reshmen and sophomores in physical jducation. Other activities were volley- jail, softball, hockey, and the 600-yard lash. Through these sports, students earned to cooperate with each other in jnity. The girls are patient and want to lelp the other girls states Mrs. Panse. rhis was the one way students showed :heir class, through physical caring. The members of the physical education department include: Ms. Lila Veenker, Vlrs. Jane Panse, Mr. Jim Arbogast, Mr. 5am Budnyk, and Mr. Jack Kokinda, nead of the department. These teachers nstill on their students the importance of working together. They found the stu- dents to be more christian-like towards Bach other during p.e. They like them- selves better and others too because they don ' t get down on each other. Mrs. Panse commented, they try to help each other condition their bodies because some care about their bodies more than others. Physical education not only took away from the monotony of a regular class- room, but it helped students build them- selves. They left the gym tired, but in better shape. To be healthy and physical- ly fit is very important and through p.e., students achieve this. All those long sweaty hours spent in the sun or gym paid off. It built better people — both physically and mentally. As Mrs. Panse summed it up, The kids learned that they owe something to their bodies as well as their minds. The departments strived to show them that they lose a sense of living without activity like p.e. TOP BACK ROW Mr. Budnyk. Mr Kokinda. Mr Arbogast. FRONT ROW: Miss Veenker. and Mrs Panse.

They Made Foreign Language Come Alive. Did you ever want to travel to foreign lands such as Spain, France and even Ancient Rome? Well if you took a foreign language you could have spent at least nine months there. You would have trav- elled by way of the in-depth study of the Foreign Languages Spanish, French and Latin. These are the languages taught here at Cardinal Newman and it gave the students a quick look at the way people in these lands communicated and lived. Last summer, some students actually did travel to foreign lands when Spanish teacher, Mrs. Judy Wright took a group of students to Mexico. The trip was a success in the eyes of Junior Maryann Bruno who commented, We learned alot about the country and the night life was really great. The people were so friendly! Artifacts of the trip including an Ojo de Dios (God ' s eye) and a board- ing pass from Aeromexico adorned Mrs. Wright ' s room. Language studies enriched the minds of many Newman students because it ex- posed them not only to a new way of speaking, but a new way of thinking. Mrs. Wright commented, Language is the most human of humanities. The most inti- mate way to learn about a person ' s cul- ture is through the study of their lan- guage.
