ANGUAGE To acquire a few tongues is the task of a few years,' to be eloquent in one is the labor of a life. -Spurgeon The growing linguistic talents of the 700 lan- guage students here are living proof of Pius X's efforts toward international communication. The capable faculty seek to develop in their students an appreciation for and love of their new language. Among the departments facilities are a resource center, a wireless lab, and a wealth of audio-visual equipment.

M THE TICS T he study of mathematics .is like climbing up a steep and craggy mountaing when once you reach the top, it fully recompenses your trouble, by opening a fine, clear and extensive prospect. -Tryon Edwards Helping students to reach the summit of that moun- tain is the goal of the Mathematics Department. The study of mathematics requires an effort to develop oneis mind to the point of thinking creatively and disciplines it to the point of sharpness. A constant effort is exerted to bring the student to a more com- plete and broader knowledge of mathematics. Much time is spent imparting a conscious awareness of the symmetry and logic of each subject area. Since mathe- matics is so closely related to other subjects, a precise and firm understanding of it is necessary in almost any other field of endeavor. At Pius, great care is taken to teach not only the abstract thought, but its practical applications and its interrelations with the work as a whole. Now who took that pointer? Mr. Jacob asks his math class If X equals Y, then what do you have? asks Mr. Lozinski. Giggles respond Laura Covino and Mary McGrath. '
