Page 19 text:

x 'I he oilieial organ ol' the High School, between whose covers lie the literary masterpieces of budding Sap- phos and Hugos- this is our lllllfl-071. In addition to the established depart- ment. of the IIl3.g'2LZllll'7f'l1lI't0II Flat- ter, the gossip column, The Sports Folumn, Library News' Information on Servicemen, Agriculture Notes - a new column, Jack and .Iillf advice to the abused and misunderstand has been introduced. But this, the cov- ered shiny paper periodical you re- ceive every two or three months, is merely a facade, the glittering finished product. I.et's take a peek behind the scenes. 'l'I'he idea is good, but the Clarion punctuation is appalling. And here! Do you really mean - But I can't possibly have it in by Friday. I have tof. But really 1. All my otherf. All right, I'll have it i11 by the seventh period Friday. But it iSn't long enough. NVQ- always cut it short, whereas ive can- not pad it. Do you see? Now take it home and see what you can do. Perhaps perfection does spring out of apparent chaos, and genius is elose to psycho-neurosisg but, to the future editors of Ye flIUI'I'0II,ll a word. If you aren't rugged specimens of manhood, if you can't take it, don't join the I'Iarz'on staff!

Donald Schwartz Another year of war finds the Societas Latina sturdily active, telescoping the centuries to bring Roman life vitally near and clear in a social, instructive way. The program plans are distinctly varied. At the first meeting, arrangements were completed for the enrollment of the club as a chapter of the Junior Classical League, a branch of the American Classical League. In addition to the business meet- ings, two programs have been presented: Voting in the Roman Republic and a c1llI'iSl,IT1iLS party, with Uhristmas carols in Latin, a Latin game with prizes, and re- freshments. Souvenir napkins, with a reproduced snapshot of a bake-shop in Pompeii, as it looks today, gave a special Latin flavor. The subject of the next meeting is How the Romans Dressed. Later programs include, among other items, a short Latin play and visits to Fenway Court and the Boston Bluseum of Fine Arts. The pledge to our flag in Latin and Latin songs are given at each meeting. Greeting cards and Latin letters have been exchanged with the Latin Department of the Audubon High School in New Jersey. In its friendliness, interest, and accomplishment, our Societas Latina is following the tradition established by the group of pupils who organized and loved it. 'Terge modo : Only go on. 1161
