The un- blemished concentration to the newness of every moment. Why do students take i - orum - is - os - is. These sounds bring dread to the hearts of hundreds of fresh- men. But don't flinch. Students learn these for a reason. Probably the most frequently asked question is Why do we have to take Latin?'' If you study the romance languages like Spanish or Prench, you will see that many of the Latin roots are present, as they are in English. Eor this reason, it makes sense to study Latin. It serves as an aid or foundation for learning other languages as well as our own. Also, many English words have their origins in Latin and this greatly assists in tests such as the SAT's and College Boards. Latin also promotes good study habits and teaches mental discipline. Around the time that Fresh- men have to choose their elec- tives, the phrase frequently heard is. Which language is easier?' It is often said that Spanish is the more facile language. This is a miscon- ception. neither of these languages is easier and they both contribute to a better vocabulary. So, no matter what modern language is taken, students will benefit from it. Lauren Quy and Debbie Parrell breeze through their Spanish test. Pam Herrera practices her Spanish on Gina Morell.
