TOP: Helen Miskinis and Chris Koss conclude that John Kendziorski would look debonair in native German apparel. LEFT: “Oh, to be in Paris,” muses Lynda Albertson. Students’ Battle Prize Is The Golden Tongue Someone speaks, someone listens. The strange sounds take on rhythm as students stumble through a Latin phrase, listen to a French tape, or converse in the new German dialogs. Sister Terenita coaxes an answer from an unsure French II student and Sister Charlotte introduces “Monsieur et Madame Thibaut a la plage” to her French I students. New books and a corresponding picture chart, employed by Miss Kathleen Kelly, have been added to the growing German department. The possibility of a trip to Germany presents the stu- dents with a desire for further study. Sister Charlotte guides her Latin I and II “scholars” through Medea and King Jupiter as they absorb the details of ancient culture. Communication is the objective and words are the tools to build a bridge to a lasting understanding of the foreign language.

The Junior class reacts with mixed emotions to the Revolutionary- War outline presented by History teacher, Mr. Michael Metevier. After quickly scanning the Government test, Diana Dalton wishes she had stayed home. Interest-Rousers Infiltrate The Social Science Environment Involvement! Commitment! These are the cries one hears today. But in order to understand their meaning, one must penetrate into man’s culture. Book knowledge strengthened by the use of visual aids drives home the meaning of inter- action clearly and interestingly. Borrowed relics, rented films, and invited speakers serve this exact purpose in Miss Cynthia Brzozow'ski s World His- tory classes. Mr. Michael Metevier in his American History classes and Mr. Tony Versaci in his American Government classes follow suit with their specialities—home movies and third party literature. Economics class, conducted by Miss Brzozowski, ranges from the assembly line to stock reports and false advertising, and learns not only where their money goes, but also how to invest it. Despite the new upward trend in visual aids, the definitions, book analyses, term papers and reports still remain. Their combined force, however, promises a student body a rich experience. 23
