Sweeping Up (continued from page 86) is that often times Magnificat stu¬ dents competed against each oth¬ er. This was considered beneficial from the point of view that Mag¬ nificat got more points. But some of the foreign language teach¬ ers questioned whether this was the healthiest kind of competition. The best ex¬ ample was French I student Priya Warman ’87. Of the seventeen entries in the Original Poetry category, her poem tied for first place—with her other poem. Another illustration came in the French III banners. Out of five entries, first through fourth place, and ten points went to Mags girls. That meant competition between Magnificat students. With the total number of participants equal to the en¬ rollment of Magnificat, Mags had the highest representation with 164 students competing. How¬ ever, Magnificat only reigned supreme in French as opposed to both French and Spanish the year before. But when the points were totaled, Magnificat had 198 and walked off with her fourth annual DFLA trophy. All minor defeats were swept under the rug. 0 — Anne Sheridan and Sue Trzcinski “It’s hard to be humble when you’re great!” —Mrs. Kilo ] What is “La Problems de Isabel ?

To memorize one’s part is difficult enough, but to remember lines in Spanish is impossible. However, juniors Mary Beth Mikel and Michele Coleman performed their entertain¬ ing skit with a flare. One didn’t have to be fluent in Spanish to enjoy their comedy about a vaccuum cleaner salesman. Photo by A. Sheridan.
