HE IS SHOCKED AT THE STATE OF THE LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT, HELEN 'REILLY Juno KATHLEEN BARNETT Cormapolite GERTRUDE STOESSEL Mademoiselle T'?'7 'Z3z-e,JJf My usually agile and fertile mind is by this time in a peculiarly disturbed state of great confusion. So many changes. I contemplate them with a sigh, a sigh for the dear, dead days beyond recall. After composing my fluttering nerves, ffor I had learned in these merry halls that hope springs eternal in the human breastl I come to the joyous conclusion that I have so far neg- lected to investigate the joy of my life-the For- eign Language department. Now to find the old haunts where in my day some ten fine, up- standing, noble, women imparted to us the mys- teries which could be unlocked only through a knowledge of foreign languages. There were the mysteries of Amo, J'aime, Ich liebe dich. Ah, L'amour, l'amour. I have now decided to start with Germang that was a big field in my day. If my memory does not fail me, there were three or four good intelligent German teachers. Frantically I search for that portion of the building reserved for pictures of castles on the Rhine, but not one is to be found. In fact I am told that there is not even one German class! How can this be? Very much befuddled, I find one small, dark room, reserved for French, with one small, dark- haired teacher in charge. I am informed that in room 301 a few Spanish classes are conducted during the course of the day. So this is my next stop. Let's hope that here at least there will be a large class. In charge of the room is a gay senorita. After a brief visit in this Spanish orld, I now contemplate a trip into the Latin orld. Speech Class A Outside: R. Jueschke, M. Fuchs, M. Draws, R. Walker, R.

I trudge up the stairs worn with years of feet hustling to and from classes. I allow my thoughts to rummage in the closet of my memories. Oh science! I-Iow enthralled I once Was in the role of a junior scientist. How Well I recall those experiments on magnetism. In chemistry I used to write Willy West on paper with sulphuric acid and holding it over a Hame Watch it appear in black letters. What a boy I Wasl I am fascinated to find that the students are dissecting that fine little animal, the frog, in biology. I'm glad the physics and chemistry laboratories are in the same places. The equipment is the same too, except for all that rigmarole called electrical equipment. One thing has me Worried. The boys and girls seem to be having heated discussions on something called the atomic bomb. Whatever is this thing that it should cause so much concern? Mathematics I shall never forget either. How much I loved to dabble with numbers, algebraic and geometric figures. Math classes must be rather spoiled now having so many girls in them. Well, I guess this is no longer a man's World. 21
