The students of a Latin teacher wanted to praise her work. Some girls dyed their hair grey like the teacher's, while one boy called her "Mother" to be part of her family. The students brought gifts of candy, baskets, and pie to show their gratitude. The parents were also grateful because they knew the benefits of Latin studies, and thanked the teacher for educating their children. The lives of the students were changed by that class, and they went on to achieve great things in her honor.
