P.H. Latin Club Diligently Backs Classical Doings The Junior Classical League was very active in its second year. The .l.C.L. or Latin Club, sponsored many events to entertain Latin students and publicize the Latin Department. The club, under the diligent sponsorship of Mrs. Nettie Bowles, endeavored to carry out its pledge to the national club of promoting Latin and classical civilizations. Among the numerous activities of the J.C.L. were Latin Week, a Christmas party, and the Latin Banquet. During Latin Week there was a display of Roman objects, all 'Latin students wore Latin Week pins, and each day a famous Latin quotation was printed in the school notices. At the Latin Banquet on May 3rd, members of the Latin Department, other faculty mem- bers, and Latin students enjoyed a dinner in the Patrick Henry Cafe- torium. Attire was ancient Roman, and the food was Latin flavored. At the regular meetings of the Latin Club, there were interesting programs. At some meetings these were games. These included Latin Password, Latin Bingo, and Latin Scrabble. Interest in the Latin Club was very good, and membership was open to all. Everyone connected with the club tried to help develop an awareness of Latin as a lan- guage and to achieve a finer ap- preciation and understanding of the English and the Romance lan- guages. Officers of the Latin Club are Billy Harbour, Treasurer, Joan Kaplan, Secretary, Betty Mills, Vice President, and Rowley Turner, President. This sacrificial altar, displayed at the Latin Banquet, simulates the altars used in ancient Rome. The table contains offerings of salt, fruit, and wine for the household gods. Joan Kaplan and Rowley Turner, dressed in Roman costumes for the Latin Club Banquet, engage in some postprandial badin- age. 78

La Marianne Spotlights France La Marianne, Patrick Henry's French club, is primarily concerned with the development of student interest in the French culture, the educational system and the social life in France. At monthly meet- ings students enjoyed films, dis- cussions, and lectures presented by either native Frenchmen, or peo- ple who had spent time in France. Millie Zaech, Patrick Henry's for- eign exchange student, spoke to the French club about her home and family life in Switzerland. At this meeting she was made an honorary member of La Marianne. During the Yuletide season, the club held its Christmas party. At the May picnic at Fishburn Park the honor guest was Mrs. Henriette Fallwell, club sponsor, who retired from teaching in June.

Mary Ann Atkins, and Allen Hayes assist the Orator sponsor, Miss Shanks, in planning the format of the Latin newspaper. LA LIBERTE Furthers French Culture, Mind And Speech C'est magnificent! These words accurately describe the con- tinuous work the La Liberte staff has put into the newspaper. Every- day during fifth period, staff re- porters met to write articles. Be- cause all items were written in French, students must have had at least two years of French as pre- requisite to staff membership. The yearly six editions of the paper contained numerous articles of in- terest, news features on historical and modern France, comments on school, city and national affairs, social events, and French jokes. The newspaper, headed by Co-edi- tors Jean Blevins and Sharon Step- hens, received a First Place award from the Columbia Press, proof of the hard work put into La Liberte. At the April meeting of the Southern lnterscholastic Press As- sociation, Madame Henriette Fall- well, La Liberte sponsor, was the recipient of an honorary award. Her knowledge, hard work and the service she has given to promote a better French-American rela- tionship made her well qualified. Orator Promotes Old, Animated Language The Latin newspaper, Orator, is one of the five publications at Patrick Henry. In a very short time the paper has established itself as an important component of Patrick Henry's literary efforts. ln only its second year Orotor re- ceived a First Place in the Colum- bia Press Association ratings. In i962-63 three issues were published. The entire advanced Latin class was the staff, with Emily Gearhart, Editor, Mary Ann Atkins, Assistant Editor, and Geof Brown, Business Manager, direct- ing the work. All the newspaper's work was done during the class period. Orator, considered a de- partmental publication, contained many articles written in Latin, but also English essays, editorials, and school news. Orator. a g a i n achieved its aim of providing for Latin students good reading enter- tainment and excellent writing opportunities. Staff members Joan Craig, Jane Mastin, Cindy Leeds, Sarah Ross, Martha Maddoz, Sharon Stephens, Madame Fallwell, Jean Blevins, Jerry Hildebrand, and Rita Burroughs proof read the latest edition of La Liberte. 79
