Spanish iComo se llama usted? S. Miles, K. Jablonski, M. Hernandez’s answer to Sr. Felicitas’ question must have been a laughing matter. E SPA N A LAS MONTANA! LOS RIOS This phrase, one of the first a Spanish student learns, opens for him the door to one of the most colorful, romantic nations of the world. Central students are offered a four year course in Spanish during which time they learn the grammar, customs, geography, and history of Spain. The course for the first two years is devoted mainly to grammar while the subject during the last two years is focused on a more thorough background of the country and its people. With the eye of the world focused on the South American countries, the Spanish student, through his studies can more thoroughly understand the people and there¬ fore help to foster a better relationship with our Spanish speaking neighbors.

French lei on Parle Francais? France, a country rich in tradition and color, offers a challenge to the first year French student. For the first two years grammar is stressed with a glimpse of France’s history and her people. In the third year the student learns many of the idioms of the French language and reads a French novel. This year the novel read by the students was “The Summer of St. Martin.” By reading the novel the student becomes better acquainted with the language and receives a first hand look at the people. France is fast becoming a world power and through his studies, the student obtains a better understanding of the country’s back¬ ground and the type of people who live there. Chef M. Strieker takes the order for French dinners from S. Mennett, M. Przeniczny, A. Valencia, M. Landry, M. Gaber. Page 16

Boys ' Art Individuality Through Creativeness “This is the way to do it,” Sr. Genevieve states, as she demonstrates the art of carving to D. Krall, J. Young, P. Michalak and P. McKeig. Boys’ Art classes, under the direction of Sister Genevieve, as a special project this year, experimented with unusual techniques of continuous line, textiles, and string and ink to increase their creative ability. The boys are also preparing a portfolio, using pencil, India ink, and dry brush for their samples, which will aid them in seeking a job or preparing for college. An exchange of art with Toledo, Spain, was introduced this year. Various water- colors were entered using Toledo, Ohio, as a theme. The boys also entered watercolors using their daily life as a setting for the Junior Red Cross project which is held annually. Page 18
