William Shakespeare visited a sophomore advanced English class at Ada High School on Wednesday.
Representing the English bard was former Ohio Northern University assistant professor of acting, John Robert Armstrong, who returned to Ada this week for a visit.
The 23 students in the class taught by Melody Veltri discovered that though the playwright died over 400 years ago, he left us with many phrases common in today’s vernacular.
Consider: Mum’s the word, something was dead as a doornail, too much of a good thing, seen better days, and, all Greek to me. Thank Mr. Shakespeare for these.
