Latin is required in first and second year, after which a student may continue if if he wishes. First-year centers on grammar and vocabulary, with readings on particular events in Rome's history. Second-year features readings on early Roman life in Civis Romanus in first semester and Caesar's Gallic war memoirs in second semester. Most of junior-year comprises the life and writing of Cicero and Ovid. Virgil's Aeneid in Latin and Homer's Odyssey and Iliad in English are taken in senior year. Greek is a two-year course available to juniors and seniors. Greek students learn humanistic and literary values of Greek culture, as they study the beginnings of Western literature through the eyes of Greek writers. Writings of Homer, unequalled in Western literature, are taken at length. Juniors spend most of the year on grammar but start the Odyssey in second semester. Seniors'do an intense study of the Odyssey and take the Iliad and selections from Greek tragedies. French, a two-year course for juniors and seniors, was also taught this year to three freshman classes. The first year centers on the language itself; second-year includes French geography and culture. One class of juniors took Russian, added to the curriculum this year. Mr. Adrian Karmazyn supplied tape recordings of Russian linguists and Russian newspapers for aid in reading and spelling. Chinese began this year as an extra-credit course lasting through the summer.
