BELLES OF ST. MARY’S May 26, 1961 1 EDITORIAL Now that graduation has finally rolled around, all of us are eagerly looking forward to beach parties, trips to Europe, and just plain fun and relaxation in general—except perhaps the poor juniors who have their summer reading to keep them busy. But even they will certainly find time for fun. For many this has been the last year at St. Mary’s; they will be going to oth er schools, getting married, or working. They take with them fond memories, many friendships, and a responsibility to remember LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, It would greatly benefit all of the halls, which do not already have one, to have a cold water fountain. After gym, between class es, and before going to bed, a drink of cold water is always good. Now we only have the water from the faucets to relieve our thirst. This isn’t very helpful when we want something cold and have to climb down many stairs to buy a Coke or get some water from Smedes basement. Many of us would ap preciate some consideration of this request. Lane Norman Dear Lane, This problem has been under consideration for some time, but the problem lies in finding a suit able location for the Avater foun tain. Water leakage or overflow on wooden floors would be ruinous. Ann Niemeyer YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE? I LIKE chicken, hall duty on Sunday, the morning after the night before exams, scalding showers due to inconsiderate flushers, “Yule,” empty mail box, pickle peaches, bone soup, chapel caps, AND pen icillin shots. And you know what else. I’m a JERK. that they are St. Mary’s. No mat ter where they go or what they do, they will always be a part of the school. Those of us who are com ing back in September are just taking a short vacation, but we also represent St. Mary’s every where we go and in everything we do. Please don’t forget that. WhenC we come back next year, let’s come' with a renewed spirit of loyalty and a desire to give the best of our selves to St. Mary’s. For now, “Good-by and have a grand vaca tion.” CONVERSATIONAL FRENCH In this day of travel by jet when one can be transported to the Old Continent in a matter of hours, one becomes more and more conscious of the need of knowing well another language beside one’s own. French 29-30 is a two-hour course in advanced composition and conversation. It is designed pri marily to train the students to speak the language more fluently. Special emphasis is placed on ac quiring good pronunciation and in tonation. The device of play ing back tapes enables the stu dents to detect their own mis takes, and after frequent repe titions of this process, a consider able progress can be noted. In ad dition to imitating their own teach er’s pronunciation and intonation, the students are required to listen to records made by other native speakers. Attention is also given to the writing of free composition and translation of literary selections. By acquiring more ease and con fidence with every opportunity to hear and to speak the language, the student begins to realize with satisfaction that learning a foreign language can be a practical and pleasurable experience.
