Activ1t1es Enhance Languages Mastering a language whether it be French, Spanish, or Latin entails a great amount of time and energy. And yet, it needn't be all work and no play. Whoever said education couldn't be enioyable any- way? lndeed it can, and the Language Dept. is doing their best to comply. A variety of activities are offered to the language students throughout the year. These enable the students to put their language into actual use, learn of the culture of the country, and have some fun at the same time. They include trips to Spain and Quebec, authentic dinners, Christmas carolling through the halls, and many more. So although a lot of input goes into learn- ing a language, many agree that the benefits and end result make it all worth while.

The Arts and Crafts classes taught by Sister Justus, Sister Mary Reddy and Mrs. Mclavy are well known around the school for their involvement in many activities. A few of the proiects which they have under- taken are banners for the masses, program covers and posters and helping out in com- munity functions. Beginning Art courses are aimed at intro- ducing the student to methods, techniques and principles of art. The student works in a variety of media, such as painting, color theory, charcoal and chalk, as well as working with printmaking and ceramics. Second and third year Art classes develop the student's artistic abilities by teaching new techniques and more advanced methods in specific areas of art. To conclude another successful year, several of the students exhibited their work in an Art show sponsored by the Mott Foundation. wif Top: No, it's not Helen Reddy, it's Sr. Mary Reddy of Powers Art Department. bottom left: Mary Maue and Jesse Mata carefully handle their stencil for the Christ- mas play. bottom right: Sr. Justus was always willing to lend a helping hand to Bill Ducharme. 38 Academics Art: Express Yourself st 5-
