This week was the annual Senior Recitations. The event requires students to memorize and recite a famous work that they have read while at Latin. Students performed excerpts from Moby Dick, The Awakening, 1984, On the Road, Catcher in the Rye, The Importance of Being Earnest, Native Son, Invisible Man, The Iliad, The Souls of Black Folk, Walden, and other classical and modern texts. This is one of the culminating activities for seniors this year, as it requires students to learn a text they love by heart, and perform it with the attention and emotions that they feel towards the story.
