Students Active in Foreign Language MRS. SANCHEZ teaches French I and II. The study of different languages not only expands a student's knowledge of speaking, but provides a keen understanding of the customs and cultures of the people who speak that par- ticular language. French has always been known as an inter- national and romantic language. Students learn French through various and interesting techniques, such as password, flashcards, skits, Voici , and by conscious study. Although Spanish is not offered as a regu- lar course, Sister Margaret Mary teaches three Xaverian students in the art of speaking Span- ish. The students attend this class in the morn- ing before actual school classes begin. Lou Schoendaller and Nancy Weber keep an up-to-date account of the news in France. Harry Laurie, Colette Fiffe and Elbie Loeb joyfully sing a French song. Walter, Nicky, and Danny Proudfoot con verse in Spanish. 13

Communicating Through Speech and Literature In today's world of mass media communi- cation, it is of increasing importance that each person know his language well. Therefore, the St. Xavier's curriculum provides a wide range of literature from Moses to Orwell. Grammar, too, is accented since it is im- portant that the student know the finer points of the spoken language. Speech I and II gives the student a chance to develop an effective skill at presenting his views to others. MR. WESTERHAUS instructs English I. wmmmm 0 r i Seniors study the greatest literary work—the BIBLE. Laurie Fiffe demonstrates the art of styling a wig in Speech II. 12
