LATIN Bold Caesar conquered Gaul they say. What difference does it make today? He trained with care his host of ten And freedom took from Gallic men While Nero played the city burned. Why has the thought of that returned? Brave Hannibal marched down to Rome. We think he should have stayed at home. The Romans left us tales and myths Of gods and goddesses and nymphs. To study them and learn them too We think itfs silly. Now, don't you? I'm sure my teacher will agree That Latin is not meant for me. By now she knows itis wasted time To think that I'd compose a rhyme. Ann Withington LATIN Last year's Latin was just fun, This year's Latin is -- nAhemH! Writing sentences about the dead Learning words to store in my head. Caesar comes and Caesar I prefer the radio. Everyday when I arise goes I see verbs before my eyes. Hoping that my memory will last I Till the dangers of the class are past. Kathryn Brunelle '46 LATIN Miss McIntyre: If there is anyone here who does not understand today's Latin, please stand up. KAfter a few minutes Robert Belden-iLatin I's pride and joy--stands up., Miss McIntyre: nDo you mean to tell me that you don't understand today's assignment? Robert: UI understand that all right, but I don't want you to be the only one standing.n

She is a good friend to everyone. BARBARA GILLIS nLife without laughing is a dreary blank.u nBarbH, the class giggler, certainly lives up to her name. She plans to go in training after graduation. We're sure she'llgo places in this vocation. She's been our vice-president for four years and had the honor of being chosen good citizen to represent our school at the D. A. R. Convention in Boston. PHYLLIS HARPER nAnd still they gazed and still their wonder grew That one small head could carry all she knew.n nPhyln has the brains of the class. Although a pee-wee she is - full of pep and energy.
