I had said in the previous issue that with 48 we can dominate, and we did. Im proud of ever person that went and competed, and choosing the State Forum participants was a tough one. The next thing on the horizon is the Lord of the Rings marathon, and tickets are still for sale until the 22nd, so spread the word to those who need tickets.

The 3rd Annual Lord of the R ings M ovie and Food M arathon is almost here!
We have just over two weeks until the marathon is here, and one week until we need to stop selling tickets so Chef can work out the food portions. So if you know of someone who has been saying that they want to go, tell them to bring their $25 this week. If anyone asks about the prizes, tell them that each and every person who buys a ticket gets a chance at winning any of the prizes. However, the ticket is only good once, to avoid one person winning multiple times. And remember, bring something comfortable to sit on and wear for this 13-hour event!

Yep, we took 1st place! However, who knows who will be at States, so we need to get a team ready for April. If you want to become one of the team, let Centurion Sean Reilly or Mr. Earle know. Theres a plan to put new wheels, and also to re-rope the main torsion arm with a bungie shock cord, so get ready to go past our 108 feet marker.

Mr. Julius Caesar

The final quiz, which will chose the final three contestants to take part in the Triumvirate finale, will be on March 21st. It has been a very close contest so far, and promises to be an intense run up for the top three scores. Its nearly time to get the togas ready. The finale will be on April 23rd, during 3rd period, and all students will be welcome to attend. Books can be found in our ever-expanding Classics Collection in the Media Center. -Mr. Earle

Gratias!

States Team
It was very, VERY difficult to choose who went to State Forum this year. The decision was based on your Regional score, what you medaled in, your level of Latin and your grade level, along with a few other factors.

That said, I wish I could have taken all 40 persons who were interested in going. It may be two months away, but it will be here before you know it.

The list of the 25 selected to go to the 64th Annual Latin State Forum in Orlando on April 11 th-13th are:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25.

Reminder: Italy and Croatia for 2014

By Guy Earle I will leave this up in the newsletters as a reminder, especially as we get to the end of this school year, when most people reserve a spot. Call 1-888-310-7120, and have them look up my tour by its name Italy and Croatia or by Earle2560.
