Practice does make perfect! marvels music student Anne Suter Music Focilitotes Pupils' Hormonious as Arlene Katchum displays the skill that merited a D I music certificate at graduation. e 0 p m e n Education is the 'tharmonious development of the mental, moral, and physical character of man. Each girl then must learn harmony, and what better place to begin than general music class? Here freshmen learn not only the fundamentals of flats and sharps, but also musicls rich history and great composers. The appreciation for harmony that the student ac- quires in general music class may grow into a deeper interest, thus sophomores, juniors and seniors who wish to further their musical education may receive private instruction in piano, voice, harp, or violin. Glee Clubs and Choral Club offer talented students an opportunity to participate in musical programs throughout the year. It is with this background that the Immaculata girl completes her harmonious development and ac- quires a culture that iniluences her taste for music.

Latin Serves as Foundation for Modern Languages Just as she studies the works of great American and English authors, the lmmaculata student in Latin classes delves into the literature of past masters. The freshman Latin scholar learns the mechanics of the language to ready herself for sophomore year and Caesar's Commentaries. Ancient campaigns and an- cient people come alive as the great general's tales unfold. As a junior, she studies the orations of Cicero, one of the most famous speakers of all times. Here the workings of a vast empire and of a brilliant mind enchant the scholar. Seniors find in Virgil's Aeneid a fascinating view of mythology and a vivid picture of the Trojan War. Such a foundation in the literature and language of ancient times heightens and illuminates the student's appreciation of the literature and language of today. Marsha Smith explains one of the titles of Our Lady Before class, freshman Latin student Maureen Walsh takes a few minutes to check the lesson for today in her Latin workbook. expressed in her Litany as a project of the fourth year Latin class during May.

To teach systematic reasoning, to stimulate the mind, and to show thought and logic in seemingly insoluble problems are the aims of the mathematics program at IHS. In this modern world where science is of ever-increasing importance, good groundwork in math- ematical concepts is essential in all education. Working with equations, signs, and symbols, first- year algebra students learn the rudiments of the sci- ence, while second-year students delve more deeply into its principles. Geometry students study dimensions of various plane iigures and learn the rules of deduc- tive and inductive reasoning. Seniors continue their interests in trigonometry and solid geometry and ex- plore some of the fundamentals of modern math, a new approach in the teaching of mathematics. Juniors Anna Erdman, Martha Gephart, and Sally Idler begin another attempt to solve a difficult problem in Algebra II. Moth Promotes Reasoning and Clear Thought Sophomore geometry students Laurie Whalen and Anita Cecil watch as Sue Kraich proves that triangle ADC really is congruent to triangle BOD. Oh, I see now, says Terry Suraci after the lucid explanation of sophomore Algebra II students Savery Gradoville and Kathy Hally as Cheryl Harding looks on.
