N ts. xl Sister Rose Margaret and Sister Angela Mary have taken advantage of recent accessions in the visual aids department and used them to great advantage for instruction of the Math classes. MA EXPLAI S Theorems, space relationship, formulas, and proofs are only part of Geometry. The most important part is how it helps the student as an individual. It opens the mind to think for itself, reason out and put down in logical order, its answer. Working with figures, shapes and measurements takes us into the field of Drafting. Knowledge of essential parts, measurements and placements will result in a job well done. Drafting and constructing forms of houses on a small scale helps the student realize what he has to work with. Drafting helps the student look toward the future. The solving of the unknown is the major aim of the students in the fields of Algebra I and H. Deep thinking explanations and reviews of problems help the students understand how the answer was found and gaina knowledge of where to seek an answer in the future. Seeking to advance and extend the skills of the student and increasing his knowledge of mathematics in general is the aim of Math IV. It is the completion of all the other mathematics courses. Sister Rose Margaret, head of the Math Department, and her assistants, Sister Angela Mary, and Mr. Wolver- ton, do a splendid job of teaching our students these basic concepts of mathematics.

QUT OF THE PA T Throughout the centuries, western civilizations have recognized the need for individuals to acquire the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Romans. The attainment of this cultural background, the foundation of our modern society, has always been considered necessary for well- rounded education. To this goal Sister Jean Margaret has devoted her energies and her career in education, spread- ing the history of ancient Rome. The history of Rome constitutes a major and vital study of the classical language, Latin. The culture, cus- toms and government of this civilization are examined in detail. Virgil, Caesar and Zeus are no longer the ancient society of Rome. The Modern Language department is directed by Sister Agnes Carol. The Spanish program is enriched by the modern facility of a language laboratory. With the pres- ent day Peace Corps and an extensive diplomatic service, the value of Spanish as a conversational language cannot be underestimated. The instruction of French occupies the time and ef- forts of Mr. Brillaut. Those who studied this language of diplomacy encountered a difficult challenge and over- came it. Kawai y . ignite?
