In high school in the late 60s, we could take Spanish, German, French or Latin.

I took Latin, because it is the foundation for all Romance languages and nearly all legal terms.

The Latin teachers taught English as well because they did not have enough students in Latin. The two ladies who taught me were the best educated teachers in the school. One of them went to Vassar where they sang "Gaudeamus Igitur" at student assemblies. That's the main theme of the Academic Festival Overture by Brahms. It's probably an old student drinking song from Germany.

The other one went to Rutgers in NJ.
