Latin Lives at Garrett High In the first year, Latin students worked basically with English derivatives with emphasis on the historic and cultural aspects of the Roman society. Students were drilled on basic grammar and vocabulary words in prep- aration of almost daily quizzes . In the second year, grammar and vocabulary were expanded, and the history of Rome was in- vestigated . The students were introduced to the lives and writ- ings of Caesar and Livy . The third and fourth years, they were familiarized with the works of Cicero and Virgil . Susan Hathaway observes as Frank Shoener sets the tapes for the day ' s lesson in Latin.
