A pin is won by Marty Fleming for a speech she presented to the student body. Broaden Studentjs Understanding Mary Murphy is astonished by the fluency of her fellow French ll students taught by Sr. Christine. Languages open to the student a whole new train of thought concerning the historical and cultural influence of foreign countries in our world. As the world narrows through communications, our understanding must broaden through the use of foreign languages. Although Latin is not used in our present world, the language itself, holds a vast treasure of knowledge. The history of the Latin language is the basis for the history of Europe. The ability to speak either French or Spanish in our times opens a wide field of opportunities. Business, education, and government are becoming more involved and complex as they are established in many different countries. The understanding of foreign languages is, of course, very important, yet the ability to express oneself in our own language is equally important. For this reason, Speech is offered at St. john's for those who seek to fluently and correctly use their language.
