Mr Grejtak q S A li ed by on pt his Latin qitfkiy 'searches for the Classics Excavate Cultural Heritage ur average Classics student strides to class with great audacity (ablative of manner), bearing the night's homework, consisting of one concessive, two causal, and three circumstantial clauses and a relative clause of purpose. Upon passing the Classics Department, he spies Mr. Dowd pouring over an ancient text in search of Caesar's bane and Legionaire's Disease. In a form of greeting to this diligent scholar, he articulates, Salve magister! Salve discipule! is Mr. Dowd's reply. After this fascinating colloquium, our hero proceeds to the room housing Mr. Knittel's thousand inflections. Here, in a mere forty minutes, Mr. Knittel explains the famous Hortatory subjunctive and its Garden Construction, easily identified by the phrase, let us, let alone the seedings of the upcoming state soccer tournament. If during this thought-provoking commentary all present are optime, Fr. Powers might come in for story time. There he'll unravel legends of Uncle Remus and Aunt Lima, and of their superlative performance with adjectives. After his classes are finished, our glorious hero can go home with the dream that one day, he, in the spirit of Crassus and Pompey, could shoot dies with Caesar across the Rubicon. Trying to imbed the fact that Caesar was not, salad dressing into the minds of ignorant Ft. Tom Powers unleashes an explosive verbal outcry. 22 CLASSROOM LIFE
