But the English Department does not specialize in class rooms only. For those students who have a talent for dramatics, there is an opportunity to act in the annual fall play. This year's play, a comedy called My Three Angels, was successful as a result of many hours of hard practice. For those with a speaking ability there is the Forensics Society which gives them a time to practice and display their talents. I There is also a reading course under the direction of Mr. Joseph Lipp which aids those students who are not proficient in their reading ability. This course prepares the student to complete his education and life on a more improved scale. Students who are in need of further improvement in their reading ability are encouraged to participate in this reading course. The knowledge which the English Department plants in the mind of the student is of infinite value, B.A., St. Edwards University Religion II Stage Crew Moderator MR.

From the earliest of times there has been a most pressing need for the cultivation in the human mind of other tongues. Today, there is an even greater need. With the advancement in travel and communication, the world has grown smaller, hence the greater need for language fluency and variation. Language is the expressive agent of emotion, love, hatred, courage, sorrow, and en- couragement. Often the words spoken by some long deceased man spring to life in our contemporary language. The two modern languages taught at Holy Cross are French and Spanish.,These classes enjoy the erudite instruction of Brother Richard McDonald, C.S.C., and Brother Laurian La Forest, C.S.C., as well as that of Mr. Alberto Benavides and Brother Hugh McCabe, C.S.C. The students must have at least two years learning of the Latin tongue before entering these fields, hence they are fairly well supported in language by the time of graduation.

The language itself, with all its many advantages, also serves a secondary purpose. The student is taught how to speak and write the language so as to prepare him for any possible future use of this tongue. Conversation is an art. By being able to converse with people in foreign languages, we increase this art within us. These languages are also taught in high school in order to increase the understanding of customs and of the history of the country which is being studied. The only true method in which this can be completely accomplished is by the intensive study of the country. MR. ALBERTO BENAVIDES MS., St. Andrew- La Paz, Bolivia Spanish I, Il
