THE LANGUAGES . .. i pf'x IN A EFFORT TO DEVELOP Viceroy-like thinking' men, Rice went all out to get the students to read. Study period became a reading period and Eng- lish teachers assigned a good stack of books for students to devour. Object of the drive was to develop students' interest and reading ability. The school library provided a wealth of good material. Here, Richard Walsh ll-42t pours over a hefty book dealing with the Civil War. STUDENTS COMPARE their handiwork and learn Latin as well. Brother Dolan had each boy make a set of flash cards to help him memorize his vocabulary. Latin is taught in three Freshman classes. Students consider it their toughest subiect but are happy they have it when it comes time for college. Shown here are Al- fred Pfeiffer and Philip Funchion lin frontl and William Twomey and Hugh Agar in back. All are in Room l-44. FOUR FROSH from 44 admire Ed- ward Unser's sharp string tie. They are Albert Connelly, John Quinn and Louis De Amicis. Freshmen were famous for coming early to school. Many were in class by a few minutes after eight. Some, like these, iust gabbedp others studied for tests or tried to sneak in some last minute homework. The Brothers, however, were always around iust as early to catch such delinquents.
