- Episcopal hosted an annual Middle School Latin Fest
- Ken Kitchell and Moffitt Aycock presented a workshop for the SERC network entitled “Culture in the Latin Classroom.”
- Elizabeth Hall’s Latin II students at the Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts received Gold Medals for their performance on the National Latin Exam.
- Jean D’Amato was awarded Mildred Hart Bailey Research Award by Northwestern State University CURIA (Council of University Research Institute Administration)
- CULINA PORTIAE
PlLAE LEPORIS*
1 rabbit fryer
1 pint honey
2 eggs
1 c. milk
2 c. pl. bread crumbs
salt/blk. pepper to taste
Bake the salted and peppered rabbit, tossed in honey and olive oil, in a 450 degree oven; debone and chop fine. Add eggs, milk, bead crumbs and seasoning to taste. Mix well and form into balls. Cook again in 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Take out and pour remaining honey over them while cooling. Serve warm. Excellent appetizer.
* (Great) Balls of Hare!
