8th grade Latin class

How times have changed. I doubt if one in a thousand middle schools even have such a class today.

American kids can hardly speak or write their own mother tongue nowadays.

This school still has Latin--it continues to be a REQUIRED subject there. It is a public high school (6 grades in one building) but for those who live outside of the city and who qualify, the city charges tuition.
