Fr. Thomas asks a senior a question. Mr. Stork and Pat Lysaught discuss an English test. Under the leadership of Fr. Wilfred, with help from Fr. Jordan, Fr. Thomas, Bro. Jude, Mr. Stork, and Fr. Kieran, the English department expanded this year. By tape, English students listened to the professionally recited essays and poetry of such great authors as Edgar Allan Poe, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Carl Sandburg, and Robert Frost, ag well as such classics as The Aeneid, The Canterbury Tales, The Pit and the Pendulm, St. John's Gospel, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Macbeth, and the immortal Hamlet portrayed by Richard Burton. Students also received instruction through visual projectors in speed reading, oratory, mem- orization, vocabulary, and creative writings. Students are thus becoming introduced to a wider and more com- plete range of learning in literature and grammar. The seniors read Antigone in class. 13

Father Martin lectures Freshman Latin class. Fr. Bruce reprimands Bob Regan for studying too hard. The Maur Hill Language Department offers Spanish, French and, of course, Latin. Father Martin teaches Spanish, Father Bruce teaches French, and the Latin instructors are Father Owen and Father Martin. The fully equipped language lab facilitates the efforts of these instructors. The language classes have cooperated in working out a schedule for the daily use of the lab. When the language lab first came into usage, Latin as is usual, was not taught as a spoken lan- guage and Latin classes didn't use the lab. But with an eye for progress, the Latin instructors began utilizing the lab in their classes. French instructor. Father Bruce. Department Father Owen Purcell and his Freshman Latin class. 14
