Salvete,
Today's meeting was quote productive! Here's the news:
I. Our spring semester events:
Joe Goodkin, the Odyssey Singer will be performing on campus on Thursday February 17th at 5:00 PM. We will either be in the Chazen museum, or in Van Hise. Afterwards we'll be taking him out to dinner.
Professor Rudall will be guest-lecturing on April 7th at 5:00 PM in Van Hise. An application will submitted to the Lectures Committee for funding. We will also take him out to dinner.
II. T-shirts are now available to order! You should have received an email from Ashley with the design and order form. T-shirts are $10, long sleeve shirts are $12. When ordering, pay with cash or check (made out to Classics Society), and give directly to Ashley or deposit in the Classics Society mailbox, on the 9th floor of Van Hise, box 912. Place your order, we ought to get them in December. (They make great Christmas presents!)
III. Saturnalia:
Saturnalia, the Classics Department winter party, will be on Thursday, December 2nd from 4:00-6:00 PM, in Van Hise (particular room TBA). Regarding food, we'll have catering for the main dish, and besides that members will be contributing drinks, side dishes, desserts. Let me know what you would like to bring, as to prevent dish- duplication.
To provide some entertainment before eating and mingling, it was decided today that we will be putting on a perfomance: Harrius Potter (abridged). Yes, we will have dialogue in Latin. Crescentia is writing up a script by this weekend, running 10-15 minutes.
It won't be a big commitment; we'll just have a few run-throughs after the meetings until Saturnalia. We'll have our scripts onstage (unless you'd like to memorize), have minimalist home-made costumes. Everyone at the meeting was very excited about it; it ought to be fun and funny.
As for casting, we have Irene as Harry Potter, Katie as Ron, myself as Quirrel/Voldemort, Maura as McGonagall. Forgive me if I forgot other roles claimed at the meeting, just email me-- and anyone else who would like to be involved, contact me and with which role you would like to play! We have quite the roster to fill.
