LATIN CLUB Develops cm Understanding of Classic Latin Culture Norland scholars studying Latin Who are members of the Latin Club found that the in- terest groups activities this year were more attractive and fun to participate in than in previous years.

By having one of the bi-monthly meetings devoted to business and the other reserved for special projects, President Gary Janko was able to guide the Club in several interesting activi- ties. Reports by different members on subjects varying from Latin poetry to Roman furniture provided a wellerounded supplement on Latin culture.
