LANGUAGES QContinued from page 29D own musicians, Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, are truly the qualities of a home-loving nation. Italian introduces us to a warm-hearted, talented people whose lilting songs and glorious operas are as popular today on Broadway as they were when first they echoed across the quiet street canals of Venice or among the grape-laden vineyards on sunny uplandsg and whose immortal madonnas grace the walls of homes on every continent. Buried within the literature of French authors are the admirable qualities of a religious people- a people whose love of God brought forth the first great gothic cathedralsg a people from whom came forth many saints of God-an Isaac Jogues and a Rene Goupil and those other missionaries whose untiring efforts converted much ofour own America' ajoan of Arc, a Teresa of Lisieux, a Bernadette of Lourdes who have captured the hearts and changed the lives of many of our own time. Spanish is called a language of romance, and as we study it, we learn that Spain is a land where love and adventure walk hand in hand. It was love of God and love of adventure coupled with a spirit of adventure that gave to sixteenth century Europe two vast continents wherein vast stores of wealth and numerous souls awaited conquest. These are the people whose characteristics we love to find in our friends, yet they are the people to whose nations wars have come. We hope then that through the study of their languages we may bring about a better understanding between us and thus avert the terrible tragedy of war Homeroom 219 Sister M Ursuline, Moderator Front rou Marguerite Leonardi Carol Cornelius Laberta Bianchi, janet Faraone Margaret Rheinwald janet Muscato Betty jane Kerhaert Barbara Corrigan, Kathleen Brown jean Foos jeanne Kosmicki Tlnrd rou Frances Volpe, Lorraine Kubasiewitz F june Aurelio, Arlene Amico Ann Sheppard, Mary Weeks Marie Verna joan Cappellino Patricia Van Epps Fourth rau joan Vollmer Mary Brett Scanlon Norma jean Mayer, Janet Connorton Mary Lercher, ,IRDICC Miller, Bafbafa DCUISCI1, Elizabeth Matronlano, Suzanne Andrus, Gertrude Welsher 29 4 - .y . , . . y . , , , Second row: Mary.

Here in our three laboratories-chemis- try, physics, and biology-new and interesting facts are uncovered every day. In chemistry class under the skillful hands of our color alchemists liquids by the addition of a single drop of some chemical magic change their color, black material like a chastened soul becomes gleaming white, while the burning of certain metals takes on all the glory of a brilliant Fourth of July night. Even some of the secrets of the dreaded atom bomb are theirs. Within our physics laboratory we learn why doors, as we approach them, open of themselvesg why voices and scenes from distant places become as distinct to-us as the room in which we sit and the people with whom we talkg why SCIENCE Nciture's Tug of War QUpper 140: The laws of nature are such that their forces maintain perfect equilibrium as shown by this physics class: Roberta Kelly, jean Borgmann, Rita Zlotnik, Eleanor Wie- corek, Rose Ann Rakowski. doorbells ring and inanimate objects seem to take on life when charged with an electric current. Through the microscope in the biology laboratory we can observe many forms of life that we never knew even existed. A grasshopper we found is a gentleman of many parts, that Madame Butterfly is not in early life so beautiful, that air is peopled by many invisible plants and animals which are by no means spiritual, that such names as cortisone, aureo- mycine, and antihistamines have become an elixir to many patients whose illness was formerly thought incurable. These form only a small part of the wonderful workings of nature, and witches and goblins are stripped of the glory which surrounded them in the bedtime stories of our childhood.
