ran wild wiTh Marjorie Kinnan Rawling's Jody BaxTer and his wild fawn, Flag. So we passed on To The sophomore year. Then came The inTroducTion of Shakespearean Tragedy in The form of Julius Caesar. Usually laughing, chaTTering sophomores sfrode Through The h a l ls murmuring, Friends, Romans, CounTrymen, Lend me your ears , or per- haps iT was, For lowliness is young ambiTion's ladder . . . . While some classes labored wiih The newly found Tragedy, oThers were reading As You Like IT and suffering wiTh Rosalind and Orlando, or philosophizing wiTh Duke Senior and The melan- choly Jacques. Then Through The eyes of Sidney Carfon we caughT glimpses of war-Torn Paris dur- ing The French RevoluTion, we saw The suffering of DocTor and Lucy lVlaneTTe. Our iunior year was de- voTed To ForTiTude, ldylles of The King, and Mac- beTh. Besides These pieces de resisTances The sTudy of essays and poeTry was inserTed. Senior English was The cap sheaf. Then we underfook The sTudy of Shakespeare's mighTiesT Tragedy, Ham- leT. Then, Too, we sfudied The conTemporary novels of England and America. Thomas Hardy, John GalsworThy, Sinclair Lewis added To our expand- ing knowledge. All in all, we're sure we'll never forgef English aT Walnuf l-lills High School.

atin.... Hic, haec, hoc-how well I remember Those di- verse declensions, Those voluminous vocobularies and Teeling oT reol occomplishmenT or deep relief when o possoge was well done. I remember The many doubTsI had os on I eTTie and an E-TloT wondering wheTher I would ever mosTer This longuoge, or why The Board of Educa- Tion mode me sTudy o TorgoTTen Tongue which nobody used in The modern world. AT IosT I wos o freshman, ond very impressive indeed was The TiTle LoTin III. IvIighTy Caesar, on- cienT Gaul, all very romanTic To heor and reod abouT in English, succumbed To drudgery of look- ing up vocobulories which seemed To Take oiwoy much of The pleosureiin reading LoTin. TenTh grade LaTin seemed To be The downing ol o new IighT of undersTonding Tor me. The wide vocabulary of Nepos ond Cicero helped To enrich my own use of words in English ond also To make Tor a clearer comprehension of mony of The words olreody in use. As I read Cicero oind,Ovid, TronsIoTions were no longer o Tedious Task, buT an oppreciaTion of Tine wriTi.ng, coherenT Thinking, ond good'sTories. C BuT noT unTiI reading Virgil did I begin To see The True rewards ond value of moking I.oTin on inTegral porT oT my high school course. Through TomiIi riTy wiTh The greoT civilizoTions remoTe from The presenT I received oi wider view of life, a reol- izoTion of The Tremendous conTribuTion The oncienT civilizoTions modeTowo1rd modern cuITure, andfrhe resemblance beTween Tendencies of human naTure Then and now. A . Indeed, I remember my LoTin sTudies wiTh Tond opprecioTion Tor The new beauTy They broughT. inTo my life. V Miss Alice E. Wilson UniversiTy of CincinnaTi I Mrs. Madge W.
