Closely contested contest in the annual 2nd Year versus 3rd Year Classics Quiz on 19th January
Classics Quiz
On Wednesday morning, 19th January 2011, Ms.Donohoe held a Classical Studies quiz in which the 2nd years competed against the 3rd years. As the third years arrived the nerves came upon us. We had three rounds, two on the Iliad and one on The Swaggering Soldier. As the scores of round one were put up the 2nd years were in the lead.
