HOOPER PROJECT: Congrats to Artoo Whittington for instituting some higher learning on those three Hoopers from Thursday. As a matter of fact, Harvard is the oldest college in the United States, Georgetown ("Booooo!") is the oldest Catholic college in the United States, and St. John's in Annapolis is the oldest college in the state of Maryland. Whittington, for those who are interested in such things, has already accrued 14 points of extra credit thanks to his deft Hoopering. That means he can get a zero on Monday's quiz and still have an A+ average. Gentlemen, the Hooper Project is there for you. Ignore it at your own risk!
This weekend, we're going for a fun Hooper hodge-podge. Three points to to the first, and one to each additional Comper who can tell me: (a) What are the first ten amendments of the U.S. Constitution called?, (b) What name was given to Japanese fighter pilots in World War II who crashed their planes into American ships?, and (c) Where did Robert E. Lee surrender to Ulysses S. Grant? Good luck!
