Latin club membem' .rfill azftempfing to Him' answer to clmfiml qzzeffiom through ,ftzzcly and RID The Richland chapter of Junior Classical League lLatin clubl proved, once again that the Lat- in language is rising from the dead. New chapters and in- creased interest spread over the country as high school and junior high students began to realize what an amenity having a Latin vocabulary background can be. f'Because so many of our Eng- lish words are Latin derivatives, students find SAT's a little eas- ier after taking this course, said senior John Woods. Yet, con- trary to popular belief land Mrs. Beth Bodkin's weekly quizzesl, the Latin club did not function on derivatives alone. Soon after school started elec- tions were held for first-year rep- resentatives lsecond-year offi- cers were elected at the end of the previous school year.l Intia- tion included the first-year mem- bers dressing as slaves and dic- tating speeches if apprehended by a second-year member in the halls. The students were finally ACTI rewarded during the annual in- tiation dinner at the Magic Time Machine in Dallas. Christmas was a festive time of the year, not only because of vacation, but also clubs and oth- er organizations were able to help the needy through the Adopt-a-Family program sponsored by Student Council. A Latin fundraiser lcandy-filled bowls and cansl helped raise money for the family in need and special shopping trips were made for gifts and supplies. The presents were given to the fam- ily on the night of the Latin Christmas party, held at Jon James' house. A fun time was had by all as Trivial Pursuit and a game of Win, Lose, or Draw kept the spirits high. Other events such as bowling and pizza parties at Pizza Inn and Mazzio's evened out the fun. Towards the end of the year, after area contest in Sherman, and state in Amarillo, club mem- bers looked forward to the tra- Deslgn by Gini Kimball Club President John Woods l12l, Becki Parr llll, and Duane Catheyl12l figured out how to use the bowling alley computer, as Danny Bloodworth l12l looked on, Photo by Jennifer Minze.

Most of all, it was a moment for all members to remember how they, as a group, helped keep the flame of the torch lit and a little brighter. Before leaving the Magic Time Ma- chine, Rod Wymer l12l decided whether or not to take home a drink pitcher. The dinner marked the end of the day-long initiation process.
