The best description would probably be German I, II, III, IV. Cor- rect pronunciation and an excellent memory were two special requirements for every German student. Listen- ing exercises, dialogues, and written assignments comprised a large part of a hard-working student's homework. Classroom practice and frequent tests kept every girl on her toes and thinking all the time. For practice and skill, students also engaged in the reading and writing of german poetry and other forms of litera- ture. As always, translation of these forms was a popu- lar learning process too.

Latin classes although not large, still draw girls to the ancient language of the medieval scho- lars and philosophers Latin - the basis for many modern languages is still a part of the cur- riculum here at Notre Dame. Sister Mary Immaculate, an authority with many books to her credit and a PhD guides Latin students through the maze of roots, trans- lations, and tests. Even though only a few students ch- ose the course, Latin is still an important part of some N.D. students' studies. t +L,-X .-.. w..VNJ::' 5 Y i-xg -it L' , ' .7 ' N N . '. rf.

Where else could one find shades of Paris and Marsailles, De Gaulle and Les Miserables? Why the one and only French department of Notre Dame, of course. Sister Mary Elayne, and Sister Mary Teresa directed girls interested in this melodic Romance language. Four levels of french were offered this year. Freshman to seniors involved themselves daily in conjugation, recitation, and sometimes frustration, in their classes. A special treat for some fourth year students was a trip to France last summerg There they improved and in- creased their fluency and knowledge of the language. Also they learned about French culture, customs, and people. This year, in addition to textbooks and exercise workbooks, students were able to utilize a new source, a book of readings and questions that enabled the stu- dents to gain a broader comprehension in the reading and writing of the French language. if Above left French I students Lynne Willis and june Wesnieski play a game that helps them increase their fluency and vocabulary know- ledge. Above right Getting the pronunciation correct is the objective of Lynne Willis and Nancy Smith for their French II class. Middle right Discussing their ideas, in the French language, of course, are French HI class members Jana Bowers, Cathy Holewinski, and Mary Ellen Donovan. Below right Taking a break from their busy work- load the French VI class: Kathy Kilman, Edith Taylor, Mary Beth Beazly, Janice Clark, and Claudia Miller pose by the statue of Saint Ioan of Arc, patron of France. ,- -g N ,K ' I.. min lr.
