After a few weeks of laborious study, Jupiter was confused with Ulysses, Cupid lost his bow and arrow to Mercury, and Cassandra lost her identity to Helen. Recovering from the Olympian clan, sophomores displayed composition skills by writing paragraphs and book essays. Students had difficulty staying awake during essay examinations since the books were usually finished the previous night.

Language Study Stresses Grammar, Pronunciation, Reading,War Games “Crux! Crux! resounded in every Latin class as students doomed fellow Romans to the crux. Students, with their heads strapped to the crux, gradually chocked themselves as they struggled in vain to read from their textbooks. The Latins intermingled their study of Latin.

During the tumult, Spanish students calmly practiced the language of the mother country”, and the romantic stories of French movies entertained French classes. The peace-loving Russian students failed to avenge last year's flag robbery when third year students declared they would rather switch to Peter and the Wolf and Chekhov than fight the Latins.
