LATIN Latin] Dear Latin] The pride, hope, joy, and. bane of Atlanta's freshmen and sophomores,, few realize how heroically said, freshmen and sophomores sweat and fume and groan trying valiantly to conquer Hercules and Caesar, Such conjugations, such declensions, such indicatives, such subjunctives I The first totering steps in Latin are devoted to a study of vocabulary, the simple facts of grammar, and English words derived from Latin. Interesting items of life as the Romans lived it are ''no perused. In the first part of the second year come more .conjugations, more declensions, more indicatives, more subjunctives—in short, more grammar. Bigger and bettor Latin words are encouraged to flourish and take up residence in the student's minds. Stories about the labors of Hercules and I came; I saw; I conquered Caesar are read with might and main. All in all, there are very few Latin students who don't show a pardonable display of pride when the end of the year rolls around and they have passed Latin. The Latin student has learned and is utilizing new words derived from Latin text books. He has gained a much larger knowledge of Roman life and a more expansive understanding of days long past; also, a feeling that his energy has not been wasted in vain. R. A. i39
