Latinists

LATIN DECLAMATIO

(November, 2004) The RMS and RHS Latinists recently competed against 15 schools in the Second Annual Suffolk County Classical Association's Declamatio held at SUNY-Stony Brook. In this competition, Latin students prepare a memorized passage from ancient Latin literature and then recite it dramatically to the judges and audience.

The Riverhead students competed on two levels: Pre-Regents and Advanced. The Pre-Regents were divided into 7 and 8 and 9 through 12.
Here's what Riverhead won:

Pre-Regents

1st Place- Colin Palmer
3rd Place - Peter Cybulski

“We took 7 out of 9 places! We were amazing!” states RMS Latin teacher Lorene Custer.
