Latin Club Intrigued Many Students The Latin Club is one of the largest clubs at Willkie High and is sponsored by Mrs. Sharp. It has 87 members and is composed largely of freshmen and sophomores. Two consuls, a scriptor, and a quaestor were elected to help Mrs. Sharp carry out the duties and responsibilities of the club. Phil Updike and Clifford Lehman were elected to serve as consuls of the club this year. Robin Elston was elected scriptor and Barb Knauer was elected quaestor. To be a member of this club, a student must have taken Latin for at least one semester. The purpose of the club is to help the students learn and understand more about Roman cultures and customs. Meetings were held every third Wednesday of the month and were conducted by one of the consuls. One of the club's annual projects is singing Christmas carols in the halls of the hospital and in nursing homes throughoug the community. The annual initiation of new Romans is held at the close of the first semester when freshmen have completed their required one semester of Latin.

This organization enables the students to express their opinions about their school environment. Through the combined efforts of the 1964-65 Council and the now existing one, Willkie High proudly had their own foreign exchange students. They were Miss Waltraud Schauble from Oldenburg, Germany, and Mr. Lennart Melander from Stockholm, Sweden. The program is now in its second year, being started last year. The Student Council also had charge of many other activities including den activities every Wednesday night, the Morp dance, Homecoming activities, the Halloween party, a Beatnik dance, and the annual International Day program.
