fi Iillvsr-if if X - - - rayqfq l Twentieth Century Latin HELEN CLARK The Latin language is not dead, it has only changed its name. English is contained in its declensions and conjugationsg nearly all of the terms in science, mathematics, and music are derived from Lating history is in its records and statues of gods and goddessesg and many tales about the origin of flowers come from its beautiful legends. The study of Latin has been a pleasure to me from the beginning. The piec- ing together of the interesting stories is something like a cross-word puzzle, but, unlike the puzzle, it never grows boresome, for when one is done, he has a finished product in place of a conglomeration of words. Another thing which increased my pleasure in Latin was our scrapbooks. We collected pictures, magazine and newspaper articles, advertisements, words from the Romance languages, and stories pertaining to Latin. These we divided into separate sections with a chairman for each, and made scrapbooks. Therefore, while we were busily on the look-out for these various things, we became more familiar with Latin itself. Our Latin room is very inspiring. There are pictures of the Forum, the Capitolium, temples, scenes of Roman life and various others. At times there are articles on the board explaining the origin of some of our most common words. It is most interesting to note the difference in their mean- ings then and now. For instance, sincere is derived from sine fwithoutj and Ciara fwaxj. It was applied to honey which was without wax hence pure, genuine, Therefore, a person who is genuine is said to be sincere, without waxf' As another example, cab, in taxicab, is an abbreviation of Cabriolet which is a diminutive,.meaning a little goats' leap, in reference to the supposed lightness of the vehicle. VVe have also found it most enjoyable to carve Roman temples, chariots, pil- lars, arches, bowls and other articles from soap, We have a most interesting collection. All students of Latin realize the help it has given them in their work in Julius Caesar, science, and mathematics. Since it has helped so much this year, we can realize what it will do in the years to come. So here's to the study of this living, ancient language with the hope that many others will become discipuli Latini I Sitty four

The French Department has had several fetes and special programs. The first was a patriotic one and consisted of songs, readings, and two short olays in French. The singing of La Marseillaise completed the program, and then games were played. Each student was given a tiny French flag to wear and 21 program with a fleur-de-lis painted on the cover, all made by students. The deco- ration committee had made the room look very attractive. Red, white and blue was the color scheme, since these are the colors of the flag of France. This was a wonderful day and everyone was happy. April Fool's Day, students read easy French jokes. Joan. of Arc Day was celebrated by a special program also. The French students are good songsters and seem to thoroughly enjoy sing- ing, especially Frere jacques and La Clache Du Matin, which are sung as rounds. Students have learned that many words and phrases used in English are really French such as: encore, apropos, garage, bon ami. rendezvous, promenade. soiree, corsage, souvenir, and others. By studying French, more is learned about the English language and, besides it prepares one to read more intelligently, books which have French phrases scattered through them. You would surely enjoy reading a French story and getting acquainted with the French people. Au revoir! lffrr-LA'-1,111 Zbeza Y5 nr- my r . Sixty three
