Happy Shakespeare Day!
Good Festival Day, gentlemen, especially those of you in the green House shirts. No classes today, obviously, so I'll just throw out a quick and easy Hooper in honor of today's heralding champions.
Also, I sent an email out to all your parents tonight gauging interest in a summer writing camp at Avalon. I know you're all desperate to sign up. Anyway, I'll go over the idea tomorrow in class to give you better ammunition with which to bat down your parents' ideas.
HOOPER PROJECT: I'll post yesterday's results tomorrow (hint... More More Mauri), but for tonight, three points to the first and one to each addition Comp student who can answer the following.
(a) Shakespeare Day Heralding Champ Giacomo Fornasini recited a speech by Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing. With what sharp-tongued woman does Benedick eventually fall in love?
and
(b) Last year's Champ Max Applewhite -- also of Calvert House, natch -- once again scored for the Green with a speech he titled "John Falstaff's Banishment" from Henry IV, Part II. Your Hooper: who is it, after all, that banishes Falstaff?
