LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The first time man used crude sounds to express his ideas, language was born. Since that time, many languages have grown and developed. Through this great achievement, civilization continues its progress. With progression in mind, the study of language becomes an integral part of our curriculum. Since Latin is the parent of the Romance languages, it holds a primary position as the basic foundation for the study of French, German, and Spanish. Accordingly, a four-year course in Latin is offered, ranging from the rules of grammar to Cicero’s orations. Latin students have merited reward for their study by earning the Auxilium Latinium Trophy for three straight years. In addition to acquiring a facility in writing the language, the student also becomes familiar with the people and the customs of the country. Practical application is achieved through various activities which promote communication. These include a French Club under the direction of Sister Mary Loretto. Open to all third year students Le Cercle Francais presented “Le Moindre d’Entre Eux” in December. The entire dialogue of this Christmas play was in French. With the introduction of the department tests in the languages, an evaluation of the advancement and proficiency of each class is made possible. 18 iiumf Sandra Heberer leads Daniel Skelton and Judith Hyland in a Latin convivial theme song taken from the Middle Ages.
