Happy 420th birthday, Will! Playwright William Shakespeare's 420th birthday was celebrated with style at EPHS this year. Freshman English students studying Shakespeare's Romeo and luliet, and seniors studying Hamlet and Taming of the Shrew, participated in a glorious celebration and feast that was planned and organized by English teacher Linda Christison. Students participating were required to somehow contribute to the festival, by bringing such delicacies as itCastle Cakes, tiClaudius Cookies, and bluliet Juice, just to name a few. Five cakes were entered in the itCastle Cake con- test, and Jodie Hegge and Janelle Gilbert won for their beautiful cake, complete with towers and a drawbridge. Some students contributed by bring- ing cups, napkins, plates, flowers, and other necessities. Other students helped by making pOSters and trivia quizzes, and performing their musical, comedy, and fencing abilities. Students were treated to a fencing demonstration by two members of the Minnesota Sword Club, who also talked about the history of fencing. At the end of the festival, students were surprised to receive a special visit from the birthday boy himself, Will Shakespeare, as portrayed by English teacher Bill Salinger. Mr. Salinger read some of Shakespare's works, altering them slightly for satirical purposes. The festival turned out to be a big success. Students had a great time, not to mention the xtgoodies they got to eat. Mrs. Christison commented, tilt was really fun. We'll do it again. Shakespeare would have appreciated such a grand celebration of his birthday. b .t w, a t L ' s 'AV $51K? s at . mix; gz?wk:a$$, Jame: i u L; H; $N3$t$g$wmv $Q t :9 v N. s , Q a: , t Senior Debbie Jensen, dressed in Elizabethan garb, The winning itCastle Cake, designed and bake tastes a uClaudius Cookie. freshmen Jodie Hegge and Janelle Gilbert. 20 r Shakespeare's Birthday
