THE FORUM

Here we are, at our final meeting for the 2012-13 school year, at

the end of all things.

Im really proud of all that has been accomplished this year. Our

movie marathons and Mr. Julius Caesar continue to get better and

better, and our performance at Regionals could not have been

betterseriously. State Forum was our best to date, and all the

members came together in splendid fashion under the Ultimate

Knot Master, Alexis Weston. We had a very successful Oreo

Pudding Cup sale recently, and even managed to get a two-page

color spread in the Yearbook. Id call that a really good year.

Now is the time to announce the officers for 2013-14, and begin

thinking about what we can do for next year to be even better. Have a great summer!

Salvete!

Latin State Forum

Over the past six years we entered the top 20 at States,

and have slowly been moving up the ladder every year.

Last year we ranked 12th, and this year we moved up to

the 11th spot, despite the fact that there are more

schools attending States than ever.

The goal for next year: to be in the top 10. Our Creative

program is strong, but we need to make it stronger.

Newsome squeaked in an old rule and brought 10 more

students, simply for the purpose of participating in

Olympica. That said, we will match them next year with

our own dedicated team. While Certamen has never been

a focus for RHS, it cant be overlooked that Newsome earned

more overall points in Academic testing due to their studying

for Certamen tests. So, next year were going to schedule stud

sessions for academics as well. In other words, its time for RH

to take a top 10 spot and be the #1 school in Hillsborough

County.

Oreo Puddingand a YearbookPageWell guys, we did it! The Oreo

pudding cup fundraiser was a

success thanks to everybody's

hard work. Thank you to

everybody who worked their

butts off making them

everyday, and thank you to

everybody who sold or bought

some during the three day time

span. We managed to raise

$537 dollars in total so that

also means that our yearbook

spread is covered too. Good

job guys!

We had multiple winners at various levels for the

Medusa Mythology Exam, which will be announced at

this meeting. Their names havent been listed here,

so those persons can be surprised. It was your

typical academic test at a national level, but despite

that we had a really good showing of students

willing to take this optional test.

As for the National Roman Civilization Exam, they

had a computer glitch issue, and as a result many

schools missed out this yearRHS included. Theyve

issued a return check, and as soon as it comes in, all

those participants will get reimbursed.

Medusa Mythology Exam

Within the next three weeks, Id like to paint the

front wall of the classroom like the wall from

Pompeii below. We have administrative

approval, and watch for a date after school to

get together and make this happen.

Reminder: Italy and Croatia for 2014

Its really time to reserve a spot for the 2014 trip and

put a deposit down, because Explorica begins

reserving hotels over the summer. As soon as we

come back in August, we begin planning in earnest

for this awesome trip.

Call 1-888-310-7120, and have them look up my

tour by its name Italy and Croatia or by Earle2560.

Mr. Julius Caesar

Hail, Caesar! (by Noah Grant)

Our 3rd annual Mr. Julius Caesar contest has finally come to a

close. The contestants, Nick Grant, Mary Johnson, and MadisonSinclair, battled it out for the title by taking the stage and

testing their knowledge of the ancient world. It was a grand

event and our largest audience to date, with half the auditorium

being filled in. The contestants put up a great show, and after a

long battle between Nick and Mary, the newest Mr. Julius

Caesar was crowned. Congratulations to our newest Caesar

(and my brother) Nick Grant! Venit, Vidit, Vicit!

By Guy Earle

There are going to be some changes to the format for Mr. Julius

Caesar, starting next year.

Multiple-choice tests Full list of topics at the start of the year.
