ofafin Latin stays in Notre Dame when so many other schools have dropped or are dropping it. This is because, if anything makes it possible for a student to plumb learn- ing's depths profound, IT does. Latin stays in another sense. lt stays the student in her struggle to cultivate her mind for it is an excellent whetstone on which to sharpen her mental tools. For heads that are more than ornaments it provides stimulating challenge that is as much appreciated as a mountain to a climber. Senior Jeanne Faulkner is intent on tracking down a mythological reference for Fourth Latin. 44 '-rv' E 389' ln... iii' 5' 'Z' Marie Yocum, freshman, is saying, I want one of these trophies for myself' lfreshmen Carol Kenney, Carol Magrogan, Ann Yanniello, Patricia Frost, Patriui Meyers are having a whack at their vocabulary review. forty-two

6 PQFLCA French is the language ol' the early be- ginnings ol' Notre Dame and of the present Mother General and the whole Belgian province. 'I'herel'ore it is in much honor in our schools. A hundred years ago it was one ol' the major attractions in our Aca- demies. Parents welcomed the opportunity ol' sending their daughters to the French ladies as they called the Sisters, lor thus they acquired a speaking-knowledge ol' French. Sister Mary Bernard has her juniors of French ll. joan Hudson, Theresa Elia, Barbara Cornu, Carole Bradley in very good humor! Sophomores Elizabeth Rodano, Carla King, jean DeFontes, joan Geris, Yvonne Burnette go at a bit of serious practice of Chansons francaises. Wm Mgt. Taylor. Jeanne Faulkner, Germaine Gerth make Charlotte Greenfield regret that she docs not take French Ill by showing the intriguing maga- zines supplied by their former teacher Mme. Mikus. Anita Brandt thumbs a dictionary carefully for a synonym needed in her French assignment.
