HISTORY History is a series of patterns, so we spend the year tracing Power-Hungry Individuals. Mr. Cory- ell's history without dates is practically a painless process except when our discussions of labor, re- ligion, and race become too heated. There are two passwords you must know to enter these ancient portals: nationalism and feudalism. You learn in World History, your first year, to be ready with these answers. Thanks to you, Mr. C., we shall always think more clearly, and strive for unpreiudiced, open minds which can chanqe their opinions.

LATI Perhaps the fact that Latin I is held first period this year accounts for an occasional snore emanating from this class. At times we are prevailed upon to conjugate tor is it decline?l a noun. Latin is far from a dead language-especially if you can make puns in it as Miss Wolcott can. She somehow does instil life into our Latin, and We even have fun seeing who will get nauta, ae Ksailorl, or an unpronounceable Word to which someone invari- ably qives a French accent. In an English vocabulary test, when We don't know a Word, We look a second time, then nod wisely and say, Ah yes, a Latin derivative.
