Latin students — cook, dress up for Roman feast sponsored by Mr. Bob Hicks, who began teaching at Churchill this year, Latin students conducted the annual Roman Saturnalia feast, one of many tra- ditional Latin festivals. The most popular of the Roman festi- vals, Mr. Hicks said, the Saturnalia greatly influenced modern Christmas and New Year celebrations. Dressed in Roman styled togas, the students brought food cooked from tradi- tional Roman recipes. While eating, they reclined on cushions and watched enter- tainment fashioned after that of the ancient Roman Empire. In addition to club sponsored activi- ties, Latin students competed in contests around the state, Mr. Hicks continued. The most important of all these contests, he stressed, was the state contest at Piano in March. Emphasizing what he felt was a defi- nite trend of increased interest in the classics, Mr. Hicks said, My goal in class is to acquaint students with their classical heritage.

Cadets of the Junior Reserve Officers ' Training Corps (JROTC) underwent their Annual Formal Inspection March 15, explained Lt. Col. Horace Jordan, JROTC head coordinator. JROTC members undergo Annual Formal Inspection; Enrollment largest in eight years The outcome of the yearly event deter- mined whether or not the year ' s program was successful in attaining its goals, he continued. Before the inspection, JROTC students received academic instruction in the classroom twice a week with two days reserved for practicing drills. Col. Jordan continued. Each Friday they prepared a work list, organized athletics or did gen- eral housecleaning. With 108 members, the JROTC had the largest enrollment in the past eight years, he said. The program has become more meaningful; more disci- pline has been implemented and the cadets realize that JROTC is more than )ust a social club, Col. Jordan added.
