7^th Grade/4^th Period – Today we did Quiz #30 on the compound-complex quartets. No class tomorrow: floater four.

7^th Grade/6^th Period – Today we’ll do essay review and, if we have time, begin work on IDIOT arguments with Class Exercise 30. Plan for a quiz Friday if we get through CE-30.

8^th Grade/2^nd Period – Today we did essay review, and then I wasted everyone’s time by letting you fools get me going on the Civil War. Alas. Friday we’ll do Class Exercise 30.

8^th Grade/Float-Dogs – Today we did essay review and Class Exercise 30. Tomorrow we’ll finish with it, and we’ll do a quiz Monday.

HOOPER PROJECT: Congrats, again, to Drew Dawson, who is on a veritable three-state Hooper killing spree after naming Charlie Chaplain and The Great Dictator as the answers to yesterday’s contest. Congrats also to R2-D2, Stumpino, and Bizzle Mizzle for answering correctly.

Today we’re going old school, 16^th century England style, where thou doth hast a dear chance to throttle thy Hoopers interior. Four and one points to the first pupil who doth answereth the following querries: (a) Who were the six wives of King Henry VIII?, (b) What six-word rhyme tells the story of each wife’s fate?, and finally, (c) What saint did Henry VIII have executed?

Nota bene, because the rhyme is one of Mr. Connolly’s favorites, an extra point will be awarded to any student who regales his classmates on the morrow with its pith and mirth. Death to Hoopers, near and far!
