Wakefield
students
study Latin
The halls of Wakefield Country Day School resound with the voices of students learning the traditional declensions, conjugations, deriva-, tives, and minutiae of ancient Roman life. True to the Huntly school’s founding motto, Virtus et sapientia, the students follow a Classics-centered curriculum.
Two levels of Latin or Greek are a requirement for the school’s basic 28-credit diploma. Students in grade seven begin a two-year Latin I course, completing their Latin requirement in the ninth grade. Entering prep school students (grade eight and above) fulfill their Classics requirement in two years by studying either Latin or Homeric Greek. Those wishing the highest 36-credit diploma must take either two years of Latin and two years of Greek or four years of Latin.
The WCDS chapter of the Junior Classical Assocation recently elected officers for 1992-1993 after hearing candidates state their qualifications in campaign speeches. Christa Franklin of Keameysville, W.Va. is consul (president), Welby Lynn of Washington is proconsul (vice-president), Nick Konick of Washington is quaestor (treasurer), Katie Adamson of Front Royal is scriba (secretary), and Liz Hickson of Front Royal is scriptor rerum gestarum (historian).
Certamen, Latin competition similar to Pop Quiz, keeps interested students on the roiui on Saturdays.
