Latin Banquet Orientates
Students In Roman Tradition
The Latin Club of Newton Co
unty High School held its an
nual Latin Banquet on May 27.
The purpose of the banquet was
for the students to get together
and portray the traditions of An
cient Rome. The first year Latin
students served as slaves, while
the older students served as their
masters.
To make the scene more pic
turesque, the cafeteria was beau
tifully transformed into a real
Roman setting. There was an
alter for the house hold gods
whose names were Lares and
Penates. Their duty was to watch
over the members of the house
hold or, in this case, the Latin
students. There was also an
auction block where the slaves
were sold for as much as a
dollar. A garden scene was set
up with espaliers, trees in Rome,

the dress of the Romans. Both
boys and girls wore clothes of

The menu consisted of a typi
