LABELLE FRANCE . .. la nd of charm The IWHS language program offers two years of French. Grammar and elementary composition form the matter of the first year course: advanced composition and reading of standard classics are required of second year students. The universality of French encourages students to master the tech- niques of the written and spoken language, and modern texts are designed to develop an apprecia- tion of French culture and a knowledge of French life. The French classes are conducted by Sister Ieanne de Matel. Carmen Novoa, Mary lVIcGoohan, and Catherine Sampson supplement class work in French I with record- ings by Henri Peyre and Mrs. H. Peyre. They are using the RCA Victor Modern French by Sound , a course by Professor lean Boorsch of Yale. La Croisade has arrived! . . . The monthly paper from Seton University stimulates interest in the study of French II. Here the French class is amused by the sparkling drollery of La Croisade. The order of the day . . . all students are required to do blackboard work daily. Iudy Brose, Ian Ng, Rosemary Newman. Doris Richardson, lane Saunders, Suzanne Brown, and Diane Kahn take their turn here to translate the exercise.
