A shining example of the girls ' department interest in modern language is the French Club. It is open to junior and senior girls who take French classes, and a high percentage of the girls participate in its activities. The club is ably sponsored by Sister M. Berenice, who teaches French. Among the more enjoyable projects are plays and skits in which club members do the costuming and acting. Another activity the girls enjoy at meetings is the playing of word gomes entirely in French! Active interest in a particular field is truly exemplified by La Cercle — Jeanne de Arc. The old saying that Latin is a dead language has been decisively disproven by the girls ' Latin Club. Freshmen and sophomores have the opportunity to bring it back to life under the leadership of their Latin teacher, Sister M. Rosalima. Meeting bi-weekly, the Latin students with the help of films and other visual aids, explore the world of Roman civilization. Comparing our modern world with that of Cicero and Caesar is very interesting and rewarding. A better understanding of a language through a varied pro- gram of enjoyment is the goal of the Latin Club this year. FRENCH CLUB MEMBER, Barbora Couvreur, shows Beth Ann DeCaussemoker the French city where her pen pal lives. Fun, Knowledge Provided by Varied FRENCH CLUB OFFI- CERS - Judy Daufen- bach, Mary Ann Koch- onowski, Elaine Bardick, Claudia Kent.

Sputnik ' s launching had many reverberations. It prodded science departments to meet the change of the times. A small but olbiet not unimportant tremor was the effect on science clubs in schools. They, with college pressure on, became very popular. St. Joseph ' s meets the challenge with two fine clubs. The one representing the girls ' department is moni- tored by Miss Niswonger. The club tries to foster an interest in sciences generally. It does this with lectures and trips particularly. Visits to St. Mary ' s College and Notre Dame labs proved a source of profit. ' Mr. Malone heads the boys ' club. Meetings ore held bi-weekly in the chemistry lob. A schedule of 20 movies on all phases of science will be shown. Special trips to Miles Pharmaceutical Lobs at Elkhart, the Lo- bund Lab at Notre Dame were most enjoyable and informative. Projected trips include a visit to weather, space and electricity centers in Gary and Chicago. Interspersed in all this activity is a constant proces- sion of experiments carried out in the school labs. CHEMICAL EQUIPMENT is arranged by Miss Niswonger for on oxygen experiment.
