Day Twenty Four

The penultimate day on the Oxford Tradition 2011! It’s hard to believe that four weeks have almost passed.

The day unfolded with the penultimate major class taking up the morning followed by the last minor class in the afternoon. Shortly after the minor class, the Speech & Debate class held a debate in the famous Oxford Union Debate Chamber. The motion: Autocracy is Doomed in the Age of Facebook. A series of several impressive arguments gripped the spectating students and staff in the tense atmosphere of the chamber.

After dinner, the long-awaited performance of Shakespeare’s side-splitting comedy of Twelfth Night by the Drama class took place. The blood, sweat and tears produced by the long hours of rehearsal from Day One of the Oxford Tradition most certainly paid off. A truly masterful performance!

Tomorrow, we look forward to the banquet, the award ceremony and the Oxford Tradition Ball 2011, but not to the goodbyes.
