ly honored by the seventh
grades, on Friday evening, at
the Ficquett Cafetorium, at the
annual seventh and eighth
grade party, which is a social
highlight of the school year.
Yellow and white formed the
color scheme in decorative fea
tures, throughout the spacious
setting, which was transformed
into a summer garden. Arti

where a low picket fence, en
twined with ivy and spring
blossoms, marked the pathway,
lighted by patio lamps.
White floor baskets of yel
low gladiolus, scotch broom
and sprays of bankshire roses,
emphasized the color scheme at
vantage points of the scene. A
trellis arch at one entrance was
entwined with emerald fern,
and had base arrangements of
yellow chrysanthemums and
bankshire roses.

Annual Latin Banquet Was Held
At Teen Can Thursday Night
The Latin students of New
ton County High School have
been reviving the dead lan
guage lately, and in so doing
they are discovering that it
was only reported dead. The
culture, ideals, and the lan
guage of th? ancient Romans
have been very much alive
through the centuries and are
making themselves known in
our twentieth century.
In pursuit of Roman culture,
students improve their own; in
learning of ideals of the an
cients, moderns realize that
times and customs change, but
the important values are from
everlasting to everlasting. In
learning the Latin language
students better understand and
appreciate their own English
language.
The local chapter of the Jun
ior Classical League, organized
last September and affiliated
with the State and National
organizations, has afforded
many enjoyable experiences
this year. On April 21-22 five
girls, Lura Madden, Elizabeth
Fitzpatrick, Betty Jean McEl
reath, Linda Mann and Ann
McLendon took part in t h e
state convention at Rock Eagle.
There they attended the Ro
man banquet in costume, sang
Latin songs, heard a discussion
of two Latin poets by Dr. Con
ant of Emory University, en
joyed skits, fashion show, danc
ing, and my theological con
tests along with about 350 other
Latin students from all over the
state. It was a very unusual and
inspiring occasion.
Last Thursday night, April
27, sixty - eight of Newton
County’s teenagers turned Ro
man and appeared at the local
Teen Can for the annual Latin
Banquet. The first year students
were sold at auction as slaves

They served for a period of
twenty - four hours. The food
was as nearly as possible like
that of the Romans.
The music of oboe and trum
pet rendered by Mada Patter

vided the same kind of enter
tainment as that of the Romans.
A delightful skit written by
Carl Stover and Wayne Stowe
about the Gods and Goddesses
in this modern world was pre
sented by the first year stu
dents.
The Roman atmosphere was
maintained even to the point
of reclining to eat! In these and
many other ways Latin is mak
ing its influence known in the
two year course in Newton
County High School. It is hop
ed that a third year course will
be possible next year.
