Under the guidance of Mrs. Noreen Rigopoulos, freshmen gain an insight into aspects of ancient civil- izations. After this basic foundation, girls augment their conception of events leading to our democracy through the interpretation of Mrs. Rosemary Rigo- poulos.

DEN ISE BERNIER French The benefits of studying foreign languages are im- measurable. Through study of the various tongues, students discover new worlds filled with interesting customs and ideas of ancient and contemporary peoples. Besides establishing a foundation for other lan- guages, Sister Rose Aloyse and Mrs. Aileen Howard give students a glimpse of Roman history. In French classes, Sister Ann Louise, Mrs. Denise Bernier, and Mrs. Monique Young provide language scholars with an understanding of French customs and outlook as well as proficiency in the language. Sister Ann Louise and Mrs. Young give students a firm foundation in vocabulary and grammar while Mrs. Bernier instructs more advanced students in French literature. Mrs. Bertha Mencia applies these same principles in her Spanish classes. The study of this language broadens the student's understanding and aids her in strengthening the bond of friendship between the Unit- ed States and her South American neighbors.
