Latin Club Latin Day — A Big Event For Students of Classics For today's lunch we will have assa bubulaeet caepis. Thus began Latin Day sponsored by the Latin Club. In addition to the special lunch menu, Latin students wore signs to identify themselves as lan- guage pupils and decorated a showcase with Ro- man objects and projects by Latin students. As members of the Junior Classical League, students received pins and membership cards. The club programs were presented by members them- selves. These were based on such topics as ancient Roman history and life, essays by Marcus Tullius Cicero, and Winnie Ille Pooh. Aside from translation and grammar, all Latin Club members had to learn a passage from one of Cicero's orations. The goal of the organization was to involve more people in the activities of the Latin Club. Anne Street and Duke Collier fix one of the showcases with projects by Latin students.

Organizations Choir Voices of Concert Choir Blend in Sunrise Service The purple dawn smiled upon countless bowed heads as a solemn concert choir raised its voice in song. The occasion was the Easter sunrise service at Forest Hill Park, and George Wythe's skilled singing group made a significant contribution to the thoughtful mood of the April morning. During the Christmas season, the concert choir presented its annual cantata. Soloists singing ''O Holy Night and other selections brought true reverence to G. W. students. However, the big day for the group was the Spring Concert held in the school audito- rium on May 3. In keeping with the ''spring fever'’ of the season, the members sang lively tunes to boost the spirits of everyone who attended the con- cert. During the year, the group also sang for the James River Junior Women's Club. ¥ Paty Bechtler, S. Cox. Back Row: B. Harwood, L. Ballard, J. Rollins, K. Lyles, R. Marshall, W. Wilds, R. Winfree, B.
