Taziona G. Chaponda '97 will deliver the senior speech, Brian P. Dunkle '97 will deliver the Latin speech and Jamila E. Jefferson '94 will deliver the graduate speech.
"The [other student] that presented was very enthusiastic, but [Dunkle's] Latin was definitely better," Marius said.
Dunkle, a member of the varsity track team, concentrated on making his speech "De Currendo," or "On Running," a humorous and traditional rendition of the Latin oration.
"Basically, the Latin speech is supposed to be humorous, to lift people's spirits," said Dunkle. "The Latin oration is traditionally pretty light."
Dunkle said the language barrier will help ease the tension when he presents his speech on commencement day.
