Preparatory students do not differ that much from the University's students. Upperclassmen would tell you otherwise, and depict it in their yearbooks. They were much younger than University proper students and at times displayed their immaturity. They were involved in literary societies, athletic teams, and other activities on campus. Displayed below are little insights into the life of a preparatory student. In addition to the physical evidence of the Latin School, incorporated are items written by a "Prep" describing their life and time at the school.
