Latin, Latin, and More Latin Language study is the core of the curriculum at Prep. One might say that Latin is the real heart of the program. All students take it for the first two years. The better students stay with Latin for four years. In junior and senior years, Greek is added to the schedules of the top classes. Some take Spanish rather than Latin their last two years. Mr. P. J. Flaherty, S.J., who teaches Latin and Greek, came to Prep this year from Munich, Germany where he studied philosophy for three years. The Rev. J. E. O'Hearn, S.J., also teaches Latin and Greek. He and his students worked up lectures on the architec- ture of Greece and Rome, The lecture group was invited to perform at other schools in the area. Several of the language teachers have attended summer insti- tutes. Mr. J. J. Gladstone, S.J., studied the teaching of Latin at Georgetown University last summer. The Rev. P. J. Dougherty, S.J., specialized in the latest modern language methods at a NDEA Spanish institute. 1 1 l w l 1 l TEACHERS OF THE CLASSICS Mr. P. J. Flaherty, S.J.g Mr. J. J. Gladstone, S.J.3 Mr. M. R.
