Holid ay Festivities Captivate Linguistics SURROUNDFD by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the wicked queen, portrayed by Mary Schroer, casts her spell on the French 1 class as they rehearse their annual French inter- pretation of a well-known children’s fairy tale for the April 5 talent show . Dwarfs, Bull Highlight Show LANGUAGE CLASSES ACQUAINT students with the culture as well as the language of foreign countries they study. Bruno Gustal, French foreign ex- change student at Van Horn, intro- duced French customs to the French I class in September. Jim Bailey ’67 visited the German class on his return trip from Germany. Latin students have increased their vocabulary by re- lating English derivatives with Latin roots. Spanish students spiced SMH’s annual variety show with the flavor of Spain as they presented an “authentic” bullfight complete with matador and bull. Latin I frosh learn basic struc- ture from Father Robert Cameron, whose main concern is not teaching, but directing St. Mary’s. BLACKBOARD tactics aid Father Camer- on in explaining Latin 1 grammar rules to Freshmen Darryl Logue and Penny Puhr. “BONJOUR, Madame.” exclaims Mary Lynn Naccarato ’68 (la marchande) greeting Lonna Smith ’68 (la cliente) and Barbara Moran ’69 (sa fille) as they enter her make-believe French food market. Mary Lynn’s shrewd sales pitch amuses German class.
