“Latin IIl-IV does have its light moments!”’ say S.M. Angelica, Charles Deschenes, and Jerry Flanagan, all smiling Ciceronians. Caesar and Sophomores, Melanie Wilk and Blanche Gravel, in Mr. Blais’ Latin II seem to mix agreeably. “Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, anybody inter- ested?”’ Intrepid students of classical Latin dare to tread where lesser men dare not venture. On an elective basis, Latin claims two freshmen and three sophomore classes taught by Mr. Ernest Blais, and one select junior-senior seminar under $.M. Angeli- ca’s direction. This last group study Cicero or Virgil in alternate years. Emphasis is placed on the value of studying Latin for its own sake as the language of one of the greatest cultures of our western world. Over and beyond purchase price, goods bought at the freshmen’s Fench penny sale in $.M. Paschaline’s class had to be bargained for in French! No problem for Michael DeClemente and Tony Cacciapaglia to put in their French bid for their favorite comic book with saleslady, Joan Plante.
