V English, one of the richest languages s ken today, is endowed with great variety and flexibility oiao ex ression. It is a melting pot of many foreign languages, andp its history and growth provide an interesting study. A significant factor in the appreciation of English is a firm foundation in grammar. The Loughlinite pursues mastery of this basic necessity in freshman year. With this foundation established, the student is able to concentrate on literature and composition. The literature course is an ever expanding one, which embraces a general study of Rav. Baoruaa Ci-umaas Faux, F.S.C.

Could this be what the Latin student at Loughlin is thinking of his Latin teachers? It might very well be true since this subject seems to plague Loughlinites from their first year as freshmen to graduation. Latin, however, in spite of the dismay of the student is one of the most important subjects of the curriculum. It is a foundation of our own English language and also the basis tior Romance languages, such as French and Spanish. The pur- suer of Cicero and Virgil has an advantage over other students in that he has a chance to construct for himself a large vocabulary of English words which are derived from Latin. In addition, French is a compulsory two year course for every Loughlinite. The grammar of this language is simplified by a knowledge of Latin since many of the grammatical forms are decendants of Latin, The Loughlinite must take at least two years of Latin. If it is felt he is capable, he is allowed to go on to further MR. josarn F. Sunni-IAN Latin, English MR. Josrm-1 F. Scorro Latin, Social Studies 22 study. Cicero's Oratlons and Virgil's epic, the Aeneid, are studied in the third and fourth year resgectively. The student, having completed this course, will fin that his Latin back- ground will aid him in his college studies. The student can credit much of his knowledge of the Latin language to Brother C. Anselm, the genial and competent head of the department. He is assisted in his work by a well staffed body of Brothers and laymen. Brother Daniel's questions keep Freshman john Cahalan on his toes.
