D u o (iWEXDOLEN (ilLl. UPLAND Ijatiii ami Public Speakiu” ' 1!)14 — (ilemvood High School, (Jlemvood, Iowa, 1898. A. H., 1908 Tahor (’ollcge, Tahor, Iowa O Q 0 LATIN X THE COl’KSE of our four years of Jjatiii we have learned that many English words are derived from Latin, indeed over one- half. Also we have learned the meaning and construction of the Latin which helps a great deal in the English language. A.s Freshmen we were a small cla.ss because a large numhei ' (budded to take (ierman. We wrote English sentences in Latin and translated Latin scmtences. Miss Qninnell taught ns some small rhymes, as “0 Mea ilaria” (Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary), and “Eid)icilla” (Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star). We took one day just writing out English words derived from the Latin words with their numerous prefixes. W ' e found a great i)roportion of them; this surely shows that Latin and English are closely connected. Ill our Soiihomore year we read Caesar and though we found the four- teenth chapter especially hard, we succeeded in translating it. In this work, we found it interesting to learn how Caesar constructed the bridge, and how he carried on his wars. As Juniors a new Latin teacher greeted us. Then we studied Virgil’s Aeneid in which we took great pleasure in contrast to Caesar’s wars. Here the Juniors and Seniors united into one class. Then as Seniors, we were .joined by the Juniors making a class of nine. In the begin- ning of our Senior year we read many Roman letters, one consisting of only two lines. (Much time was spent in studying the speeches Cicero made against Cataline. “We also read his eulogy of Pompey and his Oration against An- tony. AVe studied all the history that was connected with these events. As a Senior class we owe thanks for the pleasure and gray matter gained in the last two years of our Latin course to Miss (lillilland. iMYRTLE XELSOX, ’lb. o Q 28
