Here at Dominican we have the delightful opportunity of becoming acquainted with these aspects of culture in the best possible way, through the foreign girls themselves. At times, gay tunes of Hungarian folk dances under the direction of Margit can be- heard providing entertainment for those wishing to join in a lively and frolicksome evening, and at other times the rhythmic beat of a tango fills the air as our South American friends demonstrate just the right way. Dario contributes that touch of the Orient and Isabelle gently promotes that esprit de Paris, so evident in her delicate paintings for Living Pictures. Another thing gained by our acquaintance with these girls is the possibility of meeting them in their own countries in future years. In past years many students traveling abroad have met their old classmates and renewed their school day friendships. Someday their good fortune may be ours, too. DORIS GRUNBERG '51

CREATIVE WRITING UCH of our hidden talent has been brought to light by the hands of Kate Rennie Archer in her delightful gatherings each week. The desire to writei' spurs each girl on to make the best of the excellent opportunities ojfe-red for appreciation of poetry, understanding of literature, and advancement in writing technique. Caryl, with her humorous verse and remarks, helps to make the class the fun it is. An amazing insight into life and its why's and wherefore's belongs to both Patricia and Hope who express themselves very well. Sally's power of language and her democratic ideas have combined to place her among the prize win- ners with Nancy, whose lyrics have always been considered special,' by the judges. In view of the honors won in the many contests entered and of their spreading reputation, these girls may well be among the prominent writers of tomorrow. VIRGINIA BELL 'S 0
