These modern day Romans learn about ancient customs by attending such activities as the annual Latin Club banquet. No matter how many changes a school may make, its fundamental purpose and aim is to educate the students. There are numerous ways of accomplishing this goal. In addition to text books, some departments have applied interest- ing techniques of study to make their course more beneficial and appealing. For example, Latin students not only learn hic, haec, hoc, but by joining Latin Club they discover something of ancient Roman life. Local and outside lecturers, field trips, reac- tion tests in safety classes and experiments in physics and chemistry lab all contribute to give our school courses more variety and interest. -Quiet!
