Field trips broaden cultural knowledge The University of Strasbourg in France will host Maine East French and German students for the month of July. A group of students, accompanied by Mrs. Steinhart, will study at the university in the natural setting of the language. Enrollment of students in foreign languages re- mained about the same as last year, although Mr. Anderson felt they had a better and more positive attitude this year. Some third, fourth, and fifth year classes were again combined because of limited enrollment in the courses. Field trips broadened the cultural aspects of many of the foreign languages. French students visited the Art Institute, ate in a French Res- taurant, and attended a French movie. Spanish students also toured the Art Institute and ate in Spanish or Mexican Restaurants. Italian students attended an opera entitled Orfeo ed Euridicef' Participation in the National Italian Contest brought some students to Loyola University. Latin, Hebrew, and Russian were also taught again.

Knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, and embroidery were the four basic areas covered in the Creative Stitchery class. The Home Ec Department also sponsored field trips and welcomed guest speakers. Single Living students went on a conducted tour of apartment complexes in Evanston.
