The Chariot

We're going Greek!!!

We have acquired a chariot for the Homecoming chariot race held before the game and we need to decorate it by Friday, the 4th of November. At the last meeting we discussed using a classical Greek theme complete with warrior runners and a toga bearing rider. If all goes well, Im sure we have a very good chance of winning the visual art award and perhaps even the actual race.

We have planned the following days to work on the chariot and costumes. If you can attend, please send an email reply or just show up at the following times.

Saturday, Oct. 29th (10am-2pm) Meet near the gym entrance
Sunday, Oct. 30th (1pm-4pm) Carlos King's house (email for directions)
Tuesday, Nov. 1st (Afterschool) Meet in the art room (Rm 902)
If the chariot isn't finished after this, we will announce more meetings

Any materials you think might be useful will be absolutely welcomed. We do need an actual helmet for the rider, if you have one it would be great but be advised that it may be converted into a golden greek helmet. Other materials that would be useful include: paint (gold, black), cardboard, styrofoam boards, fabric, any props for the costumes and anything else you feel we could use. Please do not go out and spend your own money to buy these items, we don't mean to use much money because the chariot designs will be teared down after the race. This is a great fun filled opportunity for the club to get a little school wide attention and to show off our artistic skills.

The chariot crew has been chosen. For the two runners, we have Tom D. and Bryan F., they are both Eastlake athletes and club members who are ecstatic for the race. The rider will be Ms. Jin, she's a featherweight and she's courageous enough to ride our creation.
The chariot we are starting off with is the former Key Club chariot, Carlos and I checked out the chariots the other day and found that this particular chariot had a durable base with strong wheels. We should have no problem converting it into our own design and running it smoothly.

Thanks again for your interest in this club. We hope that our theme rings true to what our club is all about. Please feel free to meet bearing more ideas and don't be shy to give your opinion, I'm saying this for the chariot, but please internalize it for everything we do in the Humanities Society.

May the Greek gods be on our side!
