Seminar Meets Challenge of an Era Nothing is quite beyond the reach of the Science Seminar- nothing too large, too technical, or too specialized. The nineteen girls in the Seminar may discuss optical pumping, atherosclero- sis, or computers. Every Monday night finds the members in the biology lecture room awaiting the guest speak- er, an expert in his field, or ner- vously preparing their own talks for panels which are held every other week. Sister Marceline's deft guid- ance insures that the Seminar will fulfill its aims: to interest girls in scientific careers, to en- rich the regular science classes, and to challenge students with scientific aptitude. Seminar members Susan Cutrona, Kay Toivanen, and joanie Ellis wait eagerly as Anna Erdman, president, introduces the speaker for that evening. ' 69

It represented the combined ef- forts of all the French Classes in scenes of typical and not-so-typ- ical Franco-American life. Mem- bers of these classes sang and danced their way through skits that included an episode from TV's Ben Casey, a look into a Georgetown French class, and a private exhibition of the Mona Lisa by the First Lady. First year French students, proud of their newlyrfound flu- ency, acted out amusing dia- logues in various formats. The cheerleaders added their pep and spirit to the program with their translation of a familiar school cheer. The audience, overcoming the language bar- rier by singing well-known French folk songs, unanimous- ly agreed that the Mardi Gras was magnihque!
