Excerpt from Boston Latin School Register, Vol. 51: March 1932 When one looks back over the annals of the Register a peculiar, mystical feeling comes over him. To see a statement: I suppose that before many years we shall find ourselves flying through the air, like Bellerophon on his winged steed, abandoning the surface and soaring heavenward in flight. Who knows? Makes one feel lost in time, as if he had been left behind and were living fifty years ago. It is this wonderful passage of time that makes an historic occasion such as the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the Register a stirring one. It makes one wonder what it all means after all: time, relativity, eternity. This number, therefore, has been dedicated to memories, and material has been gathered accordingly. Besides the alumni information, we have reviewed the history of the Register in various articles, and the first number - surely an epoch-making document - has been reprinted. In this way, it has been made pos sible for our readers to view the development of the magazine from past to present.

Excerpt from The Latin School Register, Vol. 33: October, 1913 Breathlessly he burst into the house and, without pausing to reply to the questions put by his astonished mother, rushed to the telephone and called up the sheriff. One minute later he sank weakly into a chair and poured forth the story in disjointed sentences into the wondering ears of his father and, mother. Twenty minutes later the sheriff and his posse arrived and, spreading out in a huge circle, slowly closed in on the desperate convict, only to find him sleeping as peacefully as before.

Excerpt from Latin School Register, Vol. 60: November 1940 Summer, with all its pleasures, is over. 'a new school year has begun. This year, you have promised yourself to do the things which you have been intend ing to do year after year; joining clubs; going out for the teams; attending school functions; and last but certainly not least, really hitting the books. As for the register, you may have noticed from its cover that this current year is the sixtieth anniversary of its first publication. Including its predecessor. The Bedford Street Budget, the register is the oldest still-existing high school publication in the United States. No doubt, many of you have been unaware that this publication is another feather in our bonnet, another element of our glorious tradition, of which every Latin School boy is proud.

Excerpt from Latin School Register, Vol. 53: November, 1933 The register, of course, is a chattel of Latin School. It is governed, completely and irrevocably, by the school. And the latter, after the manner of owners of property, is likely to become a trifle too sure of its possession. It is apt to take it too much for granted - to such an extent, that it almost completely overlooks it, and continues to rely on the force that has kept the paper going thus far, to maintain it further. The thought process mav be something like this: Oh, yes, the school magazine; it comes out once a month' sometimes good, sometimes not so good; sure, all schools have papers. Have you ever thought how that school paper must be put to gether? A paper does not come that way, you know. Each month it must be built up, gradually, painstakingly. And for material (the material that many think just exists) we must use - what you give us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Latin School Register, Vol. 52: November, 1932 The departure from the previous custom of the Register, the use of a uniform cover design throughout the year, will immediately strike the eye of the student body. A word of explanation, therefore, would not be amiss. We of the staff think that the boys, who are the real dictators of our editorial policies, want a distinctive magazine. Many school magazines change their cover designs monthly; the use of the present cover (with its classical motif) tends to give the magazine a permanent Latin School distinctiveness.

Excerpt from Latin School Register, Vol. 57: Boston Latin School; March 1938 In the first place, the Latin School student goes through a certain routine every day. Even so, his life is not monotonous and humdrum. For instance, every week day, he arises at seven o'clock in the morning (or seven-thirty, or eight), washes, eats his breakfast, packs his books, and arrives in school at eight-thirty (or nine, or nine-thirty). Let us pass Over the next painful five and a half hours, as they are particularly systematized. At any rate, the student is out of class at two-thirty, packs his books, engages in the usual small-talk, and leaves at two-forty. Arriving home, he enjoys some form of recreation for an hour. He does an hour's home work before eating, returns to homework, finishes up, and goes to bed as soon as possible - perhaps at ten - thirty or eleven o'clock. Let us now take up the system from nine to two-thirty. Did we say that he finishes his homework at night? That was wrong. In the majority of cases, his Latin is done before school (if he can get in early enough to join in the huddle), and some other home lesson in the study and home-room periods; that is, if he can write fast enough. Most numerous of all are the formulas for fixing up what he has not the time to do, and almost equal in number are the systems for applying these formulas. In fact, so numerous are they that we are unable in this short article to cite them specifically. But there is a system for evading homework, for evading misdemeanor marks received for evading homework, for evading teachers in order to evade the marks, and so forth. Like the brook, we could go on forever in this tale of evasion. These systems are so natural, albeit they do reduce life to a routine, that a boy can and does follow them without thinking about them. He does not say to him self, What shall I do next? He goes ahead and does it. Thus, his mind is more free to devote his thinking to the important matters of his subjects. Too, the routine is well broken up by variations one encounters in study. One day he must learn one thing, next day he must learn another; one day he finds a new thought, the day after, another new thought. He is forever encountering novelties (in the way of human actions, perhaps!) in the hours that he attends classes, and he enjoys himself in the recess - and lunch - periods.

Excerpt from Latin School Register, Vol. 53: New Year Number; January 1934 As usual, the exciting contest did not begin until half an hour after the scheduled time. Mr. Roland, now at Commerce, strode up to the rostrum and introduced Bernstein, with another of his excellent solos. At the conclu sion of the solo, Mr. Roland announced that, since Brown had not been able to come, our boys would pit their for ensic abilities against the representa tives of Norwood High. Our visitors strolled onto the stage: the first two, girls, and two very serious young men. Latin School was ably represented by Parker, Blackman, and Daunt Mr. Roland introduced the subject: Should a State system of liquor control based on the Quebec system be used in this country? And the teams went at it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
