It isn't Greek though-it's the Latin phrase used to open Latin Club meetings. VVhile we are on the subject of the Latin Club, let's find out a little about this organization. The club is a chapter of a national organization called the Junior Classical League. Not all members of the club belong' to the national organization, however. Each. club member is assigned to one of seven Roman families Qliracchus, Vergilius, Pompeius, Hora-- tius. Valerius, Tullius, and Liviusj and he chooses a Latin name to which he answers at roll call. Remember being dismissed early the afternoon- of March 1? The Latin Club arranged with the' higher powers for our release from part of our afternoon classes for that one day, when every student in grades seven to twelve bought at least one victory stamp during the month of February.

The library has been enlarged in many different ways. Several donations of hooks have been received and a 1945 edition of the flI1'lPl'lt'U1Itl Em-yclofredia was purchased. A new tiling cabinet and picture file have also taken up more space in the room. The Honor Roll of men and women in the armed forces, which was given to the school by the graduating class of 1945, is hanging in the library. Library cards are issued to all students but if cards are lost. the student's privilege of going to the library is refused for two weeks. If a student loses a book, it must either be replaced by an- other book or money. A certain amount of pupils are allowed to go to the library from each class. Traffic Squad In order to avoid accidents these patrol boys. thirteen in all. have charge of the bicycle racks, building and street corner posts at all times when the pupils are going to school and at dismissals. The patrol boys are all lowerclassmen, but they have the authority to guard upperclassmen, as well as those in grade school. 'Traffic officers Ell out trafiic slips for the stu- dent violators. The duty of the traflic squad is to discuss the traffic slips to determine whether or not the otifense is serious enough for the vio- lator to appear in court. If so, they notify the violator to appear at a certain time to hear the Charges. The punishment is then decided. There are two courts, one for the high school and one for the grade school. A pupil can answer to either court but usually prefers the one in his own school.
