PAGE 8 WJCL BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR ROME BY MARGOT ARMBRUSTER After celebrating Rome and the Latin language throughout National Classics Week, the WJCL decided to end the week with a birthday party for everyone’s favorite city— Rome. Attendees enjoyed cake and snacks, played soccer, attempted to organize a balloon race that met an untimely death after the majority of the balloons popped in the grass, and spent about twenty minutes trying to hang up a birthday banner before draping it across the table, defeated. WJCL 2nd Vice President Katie McCarthy, who organized the event along with Treasurer Mark Bechthold, says that the party was “an amazing event not only because of the cake, but also because of the involvement of the WJCLers; everyone who came had an amazing time. I hope the event becomes annual and that more people become involved in WJCL events.” A SPIRITED GAME OF SOCCER AT THE BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR ROME (PHOTO BY ARTEMIS SIDIKMAN) CERTAMEN CROSSWORD SOLUTIONS TO THE CROSSWORD WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THE NEXT ISSUE OF THE TORCH.
