THE LATIN CLUB The purpose of the Latin Club is to pro- mote a further interest in the study of not only the language, but also the Roman civilization. Projects this year have been a report from each member on some phase of Roman life. We have had several Latin spelling bees and a few translations. Through stories, myths, reports, and dis- cussions we have learned much of the ancient Romans including the fact that the Roman civilization at its heighth was just as high, if not higher than our own. As hard as it may seem to believe, we learned that they had plastic surgery, brain surgery, and medical instruments that we did not develop until this century. Two members of this club, Joyce Beasley and Roger Keenoy, have distinguished them- selves in the National Latin Examinations by winning medals for their high proficiency. Roger won a medal both his first and second year. Joyce won her medal her first year. lt is a policy of the Association for the Promo- tion of the Study of Latin to award a trophy to the school winning three medals in one year or in consecutive years. We are very proud of our trophy which may be seen in the trophy case. The Latin students will take part in another National Latin Examination on the 3lst of March. We hope they do as well in the future as Joyce and Roger have done. FRONT ROW: Pat Rutter. Mrs. Hudgins. SECOND ROW: Roger Keenoy, .lim Hague. George Helms. Anne Price.
