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?

CAPITAL CIRCUIT The art of persuasion is no small project at Gabriels this year. Under the precise and experienced coaching of Sr. Rose Margaret, the debate team hadavery rewarding year. Captained by President Steve Secor, and ably sup- ported by Gina Pecora, Ron Meyers and Linda Henneman, the debate team captured the Capital Circuit Debating Crown, the first time in the school's history. Mastery of the spoken word was indeed rewarded! What of those who strive to master the written word in their daily and yearly English classes? Creative talent is also demanded of the students of English in thought as well as expression. It takes a creative mind to interpret Shakespeare, a creative mind to appreciate Whitman and Sandberg, a creative mind to comprehend Milton and Dante. To integrate and elaborate upon the basic English grammatical rules, and produce a sensitive piece of writing: this is creativity toog thisis learning English at Gabriels in 1966. Tom Koob practices delivering his news commentary in preparation for the springforensics,while fellow forensics student, Ron Meyers offers encouragement and advice. Jon Tomlanovich delivers his interpretation of 'Tar Baby' to the other participants of the forensics contest. The members of our champion Debate Team listen as their col- league Gina Pecora expounds on this year's debate topic. 17
