After all the registering and unloading and unpacking and finding the way around campus, Latin Academy 2016 began its adventure at Randolph-Macon! Students met in their "province" groups and took a tour of campus. We found the pomerium and learned that it is NEFAS to cross it! After learning everyone's names in our rendition of the Name Game, we began our first task: organizing elections for the offices at Academy. In their groups of Optimates and Populares, students selected candidates for all the offices to be elected on Tuesday. Then the parties began to plan their campaigns: posters, propaganda, and speeches. By tomorrow afternoon, we'll start to see campaign posters and election graffiti all over the dorm! Mr. Jefferson
