To be a Laeti Romani, the requirement is a passing grade in Latin. Under the super- vision of the state's best Latin teacher. Miss Sears, these Happy Romans became bet- ter acquainted with the ancient Roman lan- guage, customs, and traditions, and also gain a thorough knowledge of the practical and cultural value of Latin. The bi-weekly meetings are never something to miss; the members are kept entertained by Latin games and various skits. Some projects that keep all occupied are bake sales, a Thanksgiving food basket, a Homecoming float, and an annual end- of-the-year party. To make this perty really authentic, all are donned in homemade tunics and togas, with prizes going to the most original. On a suitable day for all. lunch boxes are packed, cameras gathered, and all board the Blue Goose for their annual trip to Vizaya, a museum of Roman and Greek culture. Latin Club officers prove that the glory of ancient Rome is not lost. In classic garb are: Anne Kirk, secretary; Joe Pesek. vice-president: Cathy Pierce, president: Jerry Pfeiffer, reporter; end Sue Straker. treasurer.

Caught during their lunch hour on initiation day, the cheerleaders entertain the amused bystanders with a mighty cheer of Go, L's, Go! Bulletin Board Telling of Events and Results Conferring on the blueprints for the Girls' L Club bulletin board are Bev Forman and Ron Faul, de- signer. What would I do without my Flying L Stationery? exclaims Elaine Bettis, as she catches up on her cor- respondence. I'm a rat, I'm a rat, was the chant of Girls' L initiates as they hobbled through Lauderdale halls in one high heel and one flat. Hundreds of tiny pigtails covered their heads while ropes held up their sloppy skirts. But it was worth it because those initiates are now members of Girls’ L. Club. This is an honorary club open to any girl who has lettered in one of the following sports: swimming, major- ettes, tennis, and cheerleading. The girl must be approved by the club and then receives an invi- tation. Cleaning the trophy cases is the club's major project, although this year they decided that they would help promote minor sports. A bulletin board was erected with scheduled events and results of such sports as golf, track, and tennis. Each year Girls’ L honors an outstanding girl athlete with a Good Sportsmanship award given at the Awards Assembly. Promoting good sportsman- ship is the aim of their club and Girls' L members try hard to live up to this goal. 125
