As any former pupil can tell you, Miss Haley's classes are the high- light of the school curriculum. The Latin Club members thoroughly enjoy the year's activities such as the banquet and the slave auction. Take an ordinary Latin teacher, add a dash of humor, the spice of an always open mind, and whom do you have? Miss Georgia Haley. She teaches Latin I, II, and III and is the I adviser of the Latin Club, Marshals, and so- phomore class. 29

LA TIN CLUB The study of foreign languages opened new horizons for students. In Latin, Caesar, Cicero, and the history of one of the World's greatest civilizations were studied. Spanish presented the culture and ideas of the peo- ple of Latin America. After studying a language, students come to realize that it is something more than idioms, verb tenses, ablative absolutes, and indirect discourse. It is a panorama of man- kind and a bridge to understanding. As these Latin II students walk into class, they also walk back through history to the Roman world of pomp and majesty. - 1 Gvvv- ' .X 1 -4: The Latin II officers, Ruby Lerner, aedileg David Pipes, consulg Lydia Johnson, consul, Bruce Laney, praetorg Becky Hinson, scribag and Liz Happer, quaestorg discuss the culture of the ancient Romans.

M-vw' ix The senior Latin Club students, the sen- ate of the Latin clubs, are known to their fellow students as the S.P.Q.R. which is an old Latin abbreviation for Senatus populum- que Romanum, the senate and the Roman people. These senatores help plan the slave auction, the annual banquet, and the trip to Chapel Hill. Their classroom activities in- clude studying Cicero and Latin and Eng- lish figures of speech. Through all these phases of Latin, students acquire a full knowledge of ancient Rome and, most im- portant, a better understanding of the Eng- lish language.
