Last night, Academy students voted for their officials following Roman traditions: they broke into tribes to elect their quaestors, tribunes, and aediles; they grouped into centuriae to vote for their praetors, consuls, and censors.
Our officials are as follows:
quaestors (responsible for delivering mail): Abby, Kelleen
tribunes (organize social events): Aleida, Andrew
aediles (write the blog): Rachel, Kyra
praetors (organize sports and 4th of July celebrations): Henry, Amanda
consuls (represent the Academy, provide introductions when speakers present): Lydia, Grace
censors (make sure everyone is awake in the morning, count students): Sarah, Leina, Yonsei, Josh
Students also tried out for the Academy's play, "Rudens" ("The Rope"), and from what Dr. Franko calls the "strongest performances he has seen," the following cast was chosen:
Daemones: Sean & Connor
Sceparnio - John
Gripus - Andrew
Palaestra - Grace C.
Ampelisca - Rachel
Ptolemocratia - Lydia
Plesiddipus - Wyatt
Trachalio - Josh & Austin
Labrax - Aleida & Sarah L.
Charmides - Kelleen
Piscatores - Amanda, Abby, Sam, Sallie, & Melissa
Lorarii - Justin & Chris
Arcturus - Henry
