“It was the closest classical day in years.” commented English teacher Mark Francioli about the sophomores annual Greek Day. This year’s classical day was de- cided by the last event, the Roman Chariot Race. Throughout the day, Mr.Francioli’s 8th period, “Medusa’s Maraders,” had a com- manding lead over the other three teams, but Mr. O’Hare’s 8th pe- riod, “Hades Hellraisers put on a strong skit in the drama presen- tation and finally clinched the vic- tory by winning the chariot race. “I like a Classical Day which is close and competitive and for the first time in years the chariots did not fall apart on the track.” said Mr. O’Hare. — Randy Loeser Gathering around their chariot, Dan Carcelli and the gang get psyched tor their tinal chariot race.
