Latin I is a Humanities course in the CTY program with no prerequisites. Its course code is LAT1.

Course Description

The Latin I curriculum covers the first three noun declension endings and four to five tenses of all four verb conjugations. The course also reviews Roman history starting from its fabled conception. Additionally, the course details the proper utilization of this inflected language and teaches the basic skills necessary to translate millenia old literature, such as the works of Catullus, Julius Caesar, et. al. The course post-test is the National Latin Examination level 1, which students have professed to be fairly easy in comparison to the coursework.

Inside Jokes, Quotes, and Class History

Some fantabulous quotes/inside jokes from LAT1.LAN.04.2!:

  • "Es asinus, decime"
  • "Tripedalis"
  • "I'm not late, everybody else is just early"
  • "Canibus, w/ the dogs"
  • "4 frisbees 20 minutes"
  • "Marcus, the Duck" an infamous mosaic
  • A glow in the dark turtle that someone brought to the class. Somehow, we started the tradition of sticking it in people's hair.

In LAN.06.1, Latin I was taught by Whitney Snead. Whitney had a wide reception; some students hated him, especially since only two students received medals for the National Latin Exam, whereas other students found him helpful. Latin I was known for its shouts of "O-S-T-MUS-TIS-NT" and "LATINA EST UBIQUE!" The latter phrase appeared on the back of that year's yearbook, which portrayed the class's TA, David Driscool (Crockett) as drawn by a Latin student. LAT1.LAN.06.1 remembers:

  • Crockett is a beast from the Iowan east!
  • morbid references (Imagine your mother on her deathbed.)
