    Notes:

    JEAN SHANTZ was a beloved and superlative language teacher at several Ontario high schools, most notably in Kitchener where she taught Latin to a thousands of admiring students. She was a legend at Eastwood Collegiate Institute from 1956 until she retired in the mid 1970s.

    Her pedagogy was impeccable and highly practical. She drilled students daily until they could recite declensions instinctively and recall with confidence advanced tenses such as the pluperfect indicative active. She assigned homework and expected it to be done.

    Her facility in Latin was effortless and she delivered her lessons with precision, clarity and humour. She could say "nominative-genitive-dative-accusative-vocative-ablative" in one breathless and inspiring cadence.

    She liked Catullus and agreed with Virgil that "...descensus Averno facilis est." A refined lady in mind and person, Miss Shantz nevertheless opined with Horace "...est modus in rebus..." and by example taught her students to be proud and modest, disciplined and demure.

    She celebrated Roman history and culture and admired its luminaries. "Omnia Gallia in tres partes divsa est," pronounced Caesar and Miss Shantz passed this along to her students with a confidence that it would always be so.

    She was an erudite teacher and outstanding role model for all of her students. Even those who pulled their hair out over Latin did not talk disparagingly behind her back. Her smile and her gentleness and thoughtfulness were unforgettable.

    The instruction of classics in Kitchener will not see her like again.

    Sic transit gloria mundi.
