Julius Caesar The Sophomore class production of the immortal Shakespearean play, Julius Caesar, was rather a unique-event. The members of the tenth grade, under the direction of Miss Kirk, rewrote the famous drama into twentieth century English and presented it in the Baptist Church House on February 9, 1940. The historic tragedy tests the dramatic ability of great actors and actresses. The characters wore dresses in long white tunics and togas similar to those worn by the ancient Romans. All members of the class had parts and tried to portray to the audience what they believed to be in the hearts of those people who lived in Caesar's time. Each member of the class had to write three invitations to friends and relatives so that there would be an audience for the performance. March 13, the class held a Roman banquet at which Roman food was served in the same style as for those famous Mediterranean people. After the food had been served, the students gave speeches befitting the characters they portrayed in the play. The banquet finished a unit of work in connection with Julius Caesar, and marked the first time the Sophomore class had staged such a drama. Public Speaking The 1939-1940 public speaking class was organized last fall under the direc- tion of Miss Tteva Kirk. An original Constitution was written. The officers are president, vice president and secretary. These hold office for only six meet- ings, so that each member may have a chance to hold office during the year. One requirement of the class is that the whole clss make one public appear- ance durin the ear. This ear the class made its a earance before the Com- g Y Y PP munity Club in celebration of Lincoln's Birthday. Page Thirty Tivo
