P. Matthews, encouraged by the smiles of her classmates and Sister Joann Maureen, points out the basic structure of the Medieval Cutliedrals. UPPERCLASSMEN Junior and Senior English is primarily concerned with establishing a full realization of the value of literature. Through an investigative and involved study of American literature-the speeches and declarations of freedom-seeking patriots, Juniors become fully impressed with ideals of the early Americans, the communal spirit. Senior English pro- ceeds to evaluate English literature by tracing it from its earliest inspirers, the Anglo-Saxons, and following its trend to modern day. Students are, therefore, aware of the pres- ent and future being well-rooted in the past. . . lil whatever dwerent garb you wear s,ss, sh .. . . .f far il L .,. ..,,,ff. tte,,5.f.r' 'S 9575? it E.

ENGLISH UNDERCLASSMEN The study of literature serves as an example of the transmission of the spirit of brotherhood. Sister Maria David introduces Freshmen and Sophomores to the ideals of English and American Literatures. The girls study the types and styles of outstanding authors, thus enabling them to write better themselves and to appreciate poetry and prose more fully. More importantly, the stu- dents come to a fuller understanding of people of different times and places and so expand the bonds of unity. ,g, . , g .,. 4' its it -A Q -A ' f .I'i I .'-'T ,. -. , .

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..

JoAnn Ballister, Adrienne Parletore, Patty Thompson, and Mary Catherine Walsh have learned that precision is essential for I1 successful chemistry experiment. SCIENCE Science is the link between man and the universe. Today, it has become an important part of our educational system. Marylawn has met this tremendous need of cultivating scientific interests in the minds of its students by her intricate science program under the direction of Sister Rose Patricia. In Biology, the Sophomores utilize their skills in microscopic work by examining plants and animals. The culmination of the Matylawn students' scientific pursuit is Chemistry. It correlates good lab technique, Sister Rose Patricia uses the outdoor approach in teaching biology to Lynn Russo-A lesi, Debbie Jandoli, Anne Marie Moore, Mary Ann Brysett, Virginia Ryan, Kathy O'Leary, Elizabeth Krebs, and Laura Plum. the willingness to share ideas, and the ability to face challenges, which have been developed during her years of scientific study.

MATHEMATICS Sister Teresa Clare demonstrates the 24 fundamentals of Algebra 1. Mathematics is a language which enables students to communicate with one another in a challenging manner. It keeps minds alert, develops logic, and solves some of the most complex science problems. Under the practical eyes of Sister Teresa Clare and Miss Barbara Gill, the algebra and geometry students learn to take the initiative in disentangling complicated math formulas, theorems, and postulates. Fourth year math students have submitted original papers to various math forums. Through their research, the girls discovered the infinite possibilities, uses, and products of mathematics, and emerged prepared to partici- pate intelligently in a computer-minded age.
