WE CAME, WE SAW, BUT WE HAVE NOT CONQUERED. Until the ninth grade. I—like many misguided others— had always assumed that the climax of intellectual difficul- ties had been attained with those algebraic formulas under Miss Phillips and the mysteries of science under Miss Burkhouse. Such childish illusions were, however, rapidly dispelled upon attempting the intellectual adventure known as Latin I under Miss Loane. For the first time we then encountered those monsters known as genders, declensions, and conjugations. Genders are highly important and equally mysterious. If “civis” (citizen) can be either masculine or feminine—can— Don- najcan Haven asks— we ever again be sure of Elvis? One struggles desperately to memorize the first conjugation of “amo.” only to learn that there are three other conjugations even more difficult. A point is reached at which the memory of even a Charles Van Doren would falter and fail. All the words seem the reverse, in sense, of anything normal; the sentences always read backwards. All this peculiar grammar seems to have been used in a very odd regime. For example, we have “Legati tubas portant.” (the lieutenants are carrying the trumpets). There is never a major—or even, more understandably, a corporal —carrying the trumpet; nor is it ever explained where they are going with the trumpets. At the same time, “Puellae legatos amant (the girls like the lieutenants). According to Carole Klenke, this seems much more natural. However, with all this apparent revelry going on. one wonders how the troops ever became prepared for the Gallic Wars in Latin II. Perhaps the Homans overpowered the barbarians, not with legions, but by making them attempt to learn their declensions and conjugations. We of Kingswood may never be able to tell our grand- daughters that we, like the Pilgrims, fought off Indians en route to class; that we, like Abraham Lincoln, studied by candlelight; nor even that we struggled through towering drifts to a snowy classroom, as some of our parents claim they did. We shall, however, be able to boast that we sur- vived the rigors of Miss Loane’s Homan Empire. To those future generations who may elect Latin 1. we have only to add. “Volenti non fit injuria.” In other words, as the TV program would have it, “You asked for it. . . . Susan Allen AN OFFERING I shall bring handfuls Of sunlit air. And the sweet cool fragrance Of wet pear-bloom; Laurel leaves bound In a slender wreath, And the sound of the sea In a curving shell. These shall I lay at Your feet with care. And watch you touch And know each one With wondering eyes. With quiet hands. 1 worship the sold Who loves them well. . . . Janet McNaughton

MY FIRST DATE “Mom, do you think this dress is long enough? “Oh, Daddy, please put on a tie. You do want to make a good impression, don't you, and what time is it, please? Only 7:30. Mom, I’m worried. Do you think he’s had an accident? I know he’s coming at 8:00, but he's probably coming early. Are you sure your watch is right? Daddy, you haven’t said one thing about my new dress! Oh, sure, now its pretty. Men are all the same. “When he gets here, if he ever does, please be nice to him; he’s a real nice boy. Sure, you're always nice, just try to be a little bit nicer and please, please keep little Judy away from the stairs. She will probably try to see him, as she does when Carey goes out on dates. “What time is it. Daddy, please? I’m sure your watch has stopped; it can’t be just 7:45; it was that time at least ten minutes ago. “Mom, guess who’s sitting by the stairs in the hall? How did you guess? Please make her leave. 1 can’t stand to have someone staring at my back. “First we’re going to the dance at school and then we’re going to have a snack with the rest of the gang. Yes. a real band, not the school band like last time; remember it was at that dance that I met him. “Oh, Mom, there's a car at the door! Someone is getting out. but there’s still someone in the car; maybe his folks did need the car after all. I’d better go upstairs because I don’t want to look real anxious. Who is it. Mom? Oh. Nancy, aren’t you going with John? No, I don’t need a ride, lie’s picking me up, but thanks anyway. See you at the dance. “Daddy, what time is it? Five minutes of eight? I don’t like waiting. He should be here any minute. What should I do if he tries to kiss me goodnight? No. I’m not going to slap him. 'There’s a car coming up the street. . . it passed our house. I hope he isn't late. Ill die if I have to wait much longer. “Oh, a car stopped and he’s getting out. I’m going up- stairs and please be nice. Hi, Curt, that’s a beautiful flower. Thank you very much. Yes. I'm ready to go. I’ll be home late. Good-bye. . .” . . . Nancy Linn NOTES The last bell rings! As people scramble to get into their seats the monitor says above the noise, ‘That was the last bell. Everyone please Ik quiet and take her seat.” As you settle down to hard study it dawns on you that you’ve forgotten to ask Joan what the English assignment is. The only alternative is to send her a note. This can be very dangerous if you don’t go about it in the right way, so I will proceed to explain the correct way to send a note in study hall. The first step is to write your message on a small piece of paper. When this is accomplished the method of transport- ing the note from you to the recipient has yet to be de- cided. For example, if the person you wish to receive the note sits more than three desks away, you tape the mes- sage onto a pencil and accidentally on purpose roll the pencil on the floor to her desk. Rolling the pencil must be made to look very accidental. A popular method used bv most girls in study hall today is the Futurama lipstick technique. All that is ii(‘cd( d is a Futurama lipstick case. Underneath the refill of the lip- stick there is a compartment in which you insert the note. Then, the same as the pencil method, you roll the lipstick case to the receiver of the note. Before you roll either the pencil or the lipstick, make sure the monitor isn't watching. Sometimes the person to whom you wish to send the note sits clear across the room. In this case you may use one of these ways. The most dangerous and the one that re- quires the most skill is shooting the note to the recipient in paper wad fashion. A simple rubber band is the means of transporting the note. But before anyone attempts this method, he should have some skill in paper wad shooting. 'Hu danger lies in the fact that if the monitor looks up at the wrong time and sees a piece of paper flying through the air. she knows something is up. Therefore you have to pick the opportune time to shoot the note. Sending a note to a girl sitting in the same row as you. but two or three seats away, is very easy, especially if you sit by a window sill. All you have to do is slide the note along the window sill to her. If you don’t sit by a window. I would suggest the waste-paper basket method. All that is needed is an excuse to throw something into the waste- paper basket. Then as you walk back to vour seat, go past the recipient’s desk and secretly hand her the note. That finishes up my suggestions for passing notes in study hall. I hope they have been of some help to you. Re- member if the monitor catches you, she will not hesitate to give you two demerits, so always 1h on the look-out. Right now the monitor of this study hall is writing out two demerits for some unfortunate person. Well, what do von know? I am the unfortunate person! . . . Carhjn Vog
