In France it's French, in Spain it's Spanish, but in the United States the national language is English. By borrowing words from the German language, Latin, and the Anglo-Saxon dialects and mixing them all together, the result is English. Thus the United States has become the melting pot for many cultures and many languages. The United States is truly blessed with having English as its national language, for it is now spoken by some two-hundred million people and was singled out after World War II to become the international MRS.

Few A m e r i o a n s realize what an important language they have inherited. But, after studying it three years under the guidance such as that offered at NLRHS they understand that it is more than just a murmur of words.

All right, Caesar, just for that you can make your own pizzas...

And since Latin is considered the Mother language a study 0. it always proves quite interesting. Why? It is the key to civi- lization. In ancient times the monks and poets preserved the literature of their period not in their everyday language but in Latin. Thus it was to be able to translate it. Even today most of the noted scientists, scholars, and other dignitaries are well acquainted with Latin. Latin at NLRHS is a two year course. In the first year a sizable vocabulary, declension of nouns, and the conjugation of verbs are studied. During the second a review and advancement of the first year is made. After completing two years of Latin, the student knows much about the customs of the people of Rome, the tragedy of Caesar, and the fall ofthe Roman Empire. Thus he has studied not only a foreign language,but history and literature as well. . . 3 Y MRS. B. F. ALLBRIGHT begs Caesar, Ronny Franks.
