Sister Marguerite helps the sophomores not only learn but also enjoy Spanish. To keep Latin alive, Sister Valeria teaches with a smile. The native tongue is important to everyone, but for communication between people from one region of the world and another, it is im- portant to teach students other languages. French, Spanish, and Latin are languages taught at OLG. Each has its own practical uses. Languages are learned not only for practical purposes, but also for enjoyment, if only to meet a Frenchman some day and carry on a broken, but pleasant conversation. Sr. Valeria Blessinger - Latin 1 and II. Sr. Marguerite Hunter - French III and IV, Spanish II, III and IV and Freshman Homeroom. Miss Mary Wuest - Religion I, French I and 11. 55

Improving Our Native Language Unlike previous years, juniors and seniors were allowed to choose four types of English subjects, one for each quarter. Among these were poetry, modern novel, re- search paper, and vocabulary. Freshmen and sophomores spent the year working with novels and enlarging their vocabularies. Learning to control one ' s thoughts and speech through written out- lines and notes was the main ob- jective for students of the speech class, another essential section of the English Department. Freshmen listen while Sr, Cleophas teaches. Sophomores read with interest, A Separate Peace. Abe Lincoln she ' s not, but Claudia Dominik delivers one of her famous speeches. Sr. Cecile Deken - English 111,1V, and selected Religion Topics. Sr. Emily Emmert - English I and II. Mrs. Carlene Stringer - English III, IV, and Librarian. Sr. Jeanne Voges - English I, II, III, IV, Speech, and Freshmen Home- room. Sr. Cleophas Wolf - English I, and Study Hall. 54

Science — Never-Ending Frpniier Each girl studying a math or sci- ence thioughout the year knew that she had to spend much time and effort on each assignment or experiment. She also nad to dis- play an interest, or experiments would not have an effect on her learning. Students found that in order to enter certain careers, they must have studied classes such as biology, chemistry, geo- metry, algebra, and advanced algebra. Many students became frustrated, but through determi- nation to acquire goals, strove to gain the knowledge. Mary Diane Keyler attempts to make a perfect circle with a compass.
