S SM i v 1, if Eyes on the copy-keep the carriage moving, mused the iun- iors as they concentrated on the proper rhythm. ln September this art of typing seemed to be myri- ads of miles away and equally difficult to master. Gradually, however, as those 25 words a minute finally came to number 50 or 60, the iuniors took pride in earning high ratings on the timed tests. Typing often pro- duced unusual and humorous re- sults when a word like fingers came out as fubgers ! ln preparation for life in the business world, many iuniors took general business. Though some- times confused about the differ- ence between a share of stock and a bond, the girls received a foundation for the specialized studies of business. This course offered to the girls the skills which would enable them to secure good iobs in the future.

First-year French students quickly became accustomed to the boniour's and the a demain's, but other pronunciations often seemed impossible to master. Not only pro- nunciations and vocabulary, but also necessary grammar was studied until the mademoi- selles finally knew the difference between lui and leur. Relieving the routine of the classes, the Yuletide spirit was heightened by the singing of Christmas songs in French. The lin- guists felt real pride in reciting the Hail Mary in this romance language. Movies and records brought the charm of the French people directly into the classroom. Those iuniors who continued their study of Latin found themselves engrossed in the translation of Cicero. The culture and the mythology of the Romans also received the scrutiny of the iuniors as they furthered their knowledge of the ancient Romans. A skit based on this cultural background of mythology brought to life the matter of the text- books.
