To gain a full understanding of French, the international language, enables one to become part of a new world and its culture. That Sister Ellen Joseph realizes the impor- tance of an understanding of French is displayed by her enthusiasm in teaching her students. First year French, given in freshman and sophomore years, includes an introduction to the language through records, picture cards, and classroom dramatization. Sec- ond and third year continue in this method and concentrate on improving pronunciation. Intensive study for College Board Achievement Tests occupies the Seniors' first semester. Finally, in the second term the girls get ready for the college classroomn through extensive conversa- tional practice. LATIN '4Welcome, Christ, . Lack of understanding can be traced to a lack of communication. Latin is a science of the meaning of words, it contains a wealth of the classical writings of Rome's orators, poets, philosophers, and historians. ln studying Latin the gap in communication between ancient and modern minds is bridged. Sister Margaret Maurice gives the Freshmen a general back- ground in Roman life and drills them in fundamental grammar. Sophomores march with Caesar through the Gallic Wars. In third year Latin, Juniors and Seniors peruse Cicerots orations and in fourth year study Vergil's Aeneid. During the four years, Students investigate Greek and Roman mythology, philosophy, ideals, and religious beliefs. They correlate these with modern literature and history. at .-.tfw Elaine Manna traces the travels of Ulysses while the interested freshmen observe. Li ..t..
