We shall remember Welles ley ' s buildings and books, but far more, mtke years to eome, shall we recall tke spirit of the people who taught us, and the numerous ways In which we learned, LITERATURE and FOREIGN LANGUAGES MISS GABRIELLA BOSANO MISS EVELYN K. WELLS MISS MARGARET E. TAYLOR Italian English Latin miss barbara p. McCarthy Greek MISS BARBARA SALDITT German MRS. C. BRUCE ILSLEY French MRS. JUSTINA RUIZ-DE-CONDE Spanish Some of us came to Wellesley with a literary hackgroiind of Proust and Henry James; others, probably the majority of us, were more versed in the vicissitudes of our favorite mystery- story heroes. On our conglomerate tastes the literature and for- eign language departments did not attempt to impose a uniform law of good literature, but rather they helped us to develop our own sense of value so that we might judge for ourselves. Now, with this background, we shall have the ability to evaluate the new ideas and metliods of expression as we go into a world more fidl of propaganda and comic strips than of romances and son- nets.

ART AND MUSIC In an effort to avoid the isolation of art from life, Wellesley art courses encourage the study of art against a background of history, and offer practical experience to complement the information learned in lecture. The ever-popular Art Department phrase sensuous reality becomes more than words when we ourselves have tried to create something expressive of that term with the artistic materials at our disposal. Even if few of us affect a beret or smock after we leave college, our art courses have given us something of the creator ' s — as well as of the connoisseur ' s - point of view. MRv BERNARD C. HEYL, Many forms of musical expression have been open to us in Billings, that ancient and honorable stronghold. In the classroom we learned not only the laws of music, but also the cultural conditions behind its creation; in the practice rooms we in- terpreted the music of great composers, or perhaps created our own music on a less grandiose scale. In the listening rooms we changed our role to that of audience, playing recordings for relaxation or for analytical study of technical aspects. Because of the beauty which became a part of our lives in Billings, we soon learned to overlook the old building ' s architectural faults and to love it. Page thirteen
