Milton’s class blasts to the past

By Austin Cohea & Gracie Perez Arvizu |

Some people only spent five minutes on their outfit, some spent hours, but all of the students got extra credit for dressing in character for Mrs. Milton’s party.

It all started with extra credit, but then some students wanted to do it for fun “ I did it for fun,” said junior Mayra Lumbreras. “I wanted the dress to be poofy, but not. Inexpensive, but nice looking.”

The third period AP Euro History students dressed up and had a party on Friday Sept. 30.

“I have amazing students who come up with amazing ideas and I try not to stay in their way,” AP European History teacher Mrs.Milton said. 

The participants in the event did a project on someone from the renaissance period, and if they wanted extra credit, they either came dressed up as the person their project was based on, or they brought food for the buffet.

“It took me like a solid five minutes,” sophomore Maia Smith said. “It’s pretty fun to see people in character.”

Smith went as Catharine D’ambois, poet of the French Renaissance born 1481, died January, 1549.

The party was talkative and very friendly, and students were very open to pictures and questions.

Students were required to ask their peers questions based on the color of the candies they got, for red, the students had to ask an author what the premise of their publication was, for yellow they had to ask a fellow student whether they are “spiritual beings or material beings (then ask them why they think so).

“It was something that was fun because I got to eat French bread all day,” Smith said.“And I also got to pick out a costume, and it was also extra credit so it was nice.”
