Sister Mary Serena and a group of her French students are enioying the art of French conversation. Coniugating hacer in Spanish class proves to be fun for Patricia Kane and Mary Suhr, as is evidenced from Sister Mary AIberta's reaction. We are fortunate to have many challenging courses at our school and foreign languages are iust such a challenge. We can take advantage of the opportunity of studying Latin, Spanish, or French. English is required for four years because it is our native tongue. Our French class was made enioyable by the use of French conversation and the recording of our voices for the purpose of correct pronunciation and accent. learning the customs of the people speaking Latin and Spanish, we came to understand their way of thinking. And through these languages, we came to know what they considered important and by it our standards could be measured.

At the beginning of our freshman year the art of good homemaking be- came a part of us. ln our foods classes we learned the importance of a bal- anced diet. Regulating the stoves in the Home Ec lab became one of our daily routines. We prepared breads, meat, pastries, and candy. We also planned menus for the Father- Daughter Banquet, Sister Florence's Name Day, Guild parties, and other all-school affairs. Paiamas, skirts, and blouses were among our first projects in the Cloth- ing l classes. Paiamas seemed to be more trying than the others, especially when we sewed the two legs together. We progressed some in our second year and attempted dresses, suits, iumpers, and even formals. ln the Spring Style Show we mod- eled our creations before the whole student body with a feeling of appre- hension, but also with pride because we felt that we had accomplished something during the year. Assisting Theresa Wrecza as she meas- ures out the ingredients for home-made bread is Sister Mary Ulric, Home Eco- nomics instructor. Home Economics officers: Mary Markert, Vice President, Sister Mary Ulric, Advisor, Mary Ellen Burger President, Barbara Sikora, Secretary, and Mary Ann Oman, Treasurer, comment on the various designs ot the greeting cards displayed in the Home Economics laboratory.
