It's a photocopy of a 1992 article proclaiming the demise.

 
You know how they call Latin a “dead” language?
 
COBOL is the same.

Latin wasn't dead enough that I didn't have to take two years of it in
high school. That was then but I doubt it's the case now.

Note: it was not a Catholic high school. Catholic High certainly required
Latin so the nerds could argue over pronunciation during football games.
Church Latin is more silibant.
