Senatus Populusgai Rornanus Senatus Populusgai Romanus, or The Senante and the Roman People. sounds like Greek to me! lI'm not too far off. Actually it's Latinl. After the retirement of Mrs. Joyce Fairbanks last year, Latin Club was in need of a new sponsor. Fortunately, GM was able to get Mrs. Konstantakos to take Mrs. Fairbanks' place. Because of her background, Mrs. Konstantakos seemed to be the right person to head Latin Club. Not only is she from Greece, but she also speaks both Classical Greek and Classical Latin fluently. In fact, she probably speaks those two languages better than English. The purpose of the Club is to provide a time for Latin students to practice what they preach. Latin is a dead language, however, GM has two sections of it for students who are interested. The two main reasons for taking Latin are, it helps in Biological and Medical Science fields, and it provides a better knowledge of words. Latin Club has held many activities planned this year. The Pandora's Boxes were a very popular item at Homecom- ing. Kids donated different things to Latin Club, and they sold them to the kids at Homecoming. Latin Club also gave Christmas cards to all of the teachers. These, of course, weren't all of the activi- ties planned by Latin Club, only a fraction of them. For a club that only meets every other Wednesday, they seem to get a lot accomplished. Latin Club seems to be well organized and an all-around fun club. One might consider getting in on the action. As the saying goes, When in Rome, do as the Romans. I guess in our case it's do as the Latins! Members talk together.
