In the annual Latin Exam produced by the Classical Association of Virginia, Brian Kim ’16 came in among the top 10 in the state at the second-year level, followed closely by Bea Huffines ’16 and Isabelle Zabriskie ’16. In the Advanced Prose level, Jenny Mok ’14 earned fourth place in the state, followed by Savannah Lambert ’14 at fifth, and another four Honorable Mention awards given to Eunice Mok ’13, Nathaniel Lambert ’16, Allegra Geanuracos ’15, and Yeji Kim ’15. For the National Greek Exam, in which students from 155 high schools and colleges all over the country compete, EHS also had great success. This year, Reynolds Griffith ’15 and Aidan Cron ’15 won awards for their excellent work on the exam, even though both of them started Greek a full semester late, scrambling to learn five month’s Greek in time for the exam in February. In that same class, Eunice Mok ’13 won an award of high honor, and Allegra Geanuracos ’15 won the same award in her second year of Greek as a sophomore. Jenny Mok ’14 was awarded a special classics book prize from Randolph College for her extraordinary work in Latin this year. Episcopal High School // FOUR COLUMNS
