Home Sweet Home Thank you, Miami University!Jacob Welch, 2008-2009 NJCL Editor

The marching of “geeks and nerds” usually conjures up images of a high school marching band. Although the Jay County High School marching band practiced daily on the Miami University campus in Oxford, Ohio, those “band nerds” were no match for the 1,500 “Classical geeks” who resided on the campus from July 23 to August 2 at the 55th Annual NJCL Convention. With love and dedication for the Classics, JCLers with sponsors, state chairs, and chaperones traveled from across the United States and Ontario to participate in such events as certamen, colloquia, ludi, olympika, chorus, talent shows, and testing while gaining friendships with delegates from their own and other JCL chapters.

A round of applause and thanks should be given to everyone who put an extraordinary amount of time into making this convention possible: the Ohio delegates, who warmly greeted us with bright smiles; the Miami University staff, whose hospitality made convention more comfortable; the Executive Board, who made this convention a great success; the National Committee, who mentors the NJCL Officers and spends many hours planning convention; the SCL, who supervise That’s Entertainment, ludi, and olympika; and the ACL, whose support for the Junior Classical League has made it into a thriving organization. These people truly dedicated themselves to following this year’s theme, Non nobis solum nati sumus or “We are not born for ourselves alone.” They are responsible for the great success of this year’s convention.

This year, candidates strenuously campaigned in hopes of serving the Junior Classical League as an NJCL Officer. Hanging up signs, passing out stickers, drawing with chalk, and answering questions, these candidates showed their true passion for JCL. With three contested offices, they participated in a number of election activities to gain delegates’ support. This was another exciting year of elections, and candidates showed their true understanding of the theme, proving that they will work hard to spread the spirit of JCL.

When 1,500 JCLers unite, expect an unforgettable display of spirit. From hometown heroes to purple and corn, JCLers showed their passion for the Classics and state pride when competing for spirit prizes. Spirit was not only shown during General Assemblies, but states supported their certamen and ludi teams, encouraging friendly competition in the Junior Classical League. An act of kindness was awarded every day with a stuffed animal named Jerry the Giraffe, who was passed on to another good Samaritan the following day. Parading around Millet Hall in togas, JCLers also consumed catered food, sold themselves in Rent-a-Roman, and enjoyed an overall fun time at the Roman Banquet.

Next year’s convention will be held in Davis, California at the University of California Davis. Expect a convention with movie stars, paparazzi, and drama! To pass the time, become more involved in your local and state JCL chapters. Spread the friendly hand of JCL to those in need, promote enthusiasm for the Classics, foster brotherhood by helping others through community service, and inspire dedication to students at school. See all of you in California next year. Have a wonderful year!

Grace...On Fire!

Dear beloved JCLers,The 55th NJCL Convention

at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio has been one of the greatest conventions the organization has ever had. We gathered for another week of academics, athletics, spirit, and entertainment and have evolved into more wholesome JCLers. I hope and I know—based on so many testimonies—that all of you who had attended the convention made the most out of the experience and once again, made memories to last a lifetime.

Unfortunately, this is my last letter to you. This year as president, I had the opportunity to lead the Executive Board at the planning meetings, plan and revise the convention agenda, and represent the NJCL at various needs including state conventions. I, along with the rest of the officers and the National Committee, worked diligently to bring the organization another successful year. Serving you as the 2007-2008 President of the National Junior Classical League has truly been an honor that has evolved me into a greater leader, scholar, and a forever-fan of the Classics.

Fulfilling the presidential duties would not have been possible without the invaluable guidance of many. I would like to thank my mentor Mrs. Martha Altieri for the indispensable advice and the whispers in my ear that led me throughout the year. To Mr. Ron Folds and Mr. Neal David, words are not enough to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for supporting me and believing me to the end as my sponsors, teachers, and friends. To state co-chairs Mr. Cameron Ward and Mrs. Natalie Faulkner and to the Georgia delegation as a whole, one could not have asked for a better delegation to belong to. Your valuable encouragements kept the Grace on fire.

Lastly, I want to thank you, all you JCLers, for being the most enthusiastic, dedicated, and scholarly people you are. I hope you will remain loyal to the organization in the years to come, just as much our memories will remain “on fire” in our hearts.

Maximas gratias et ValeteGrace Jeong

2007-2008 NJCL President

Mr. President...

Dear Fellow JCLers,The day before the past NJCL

Convention, I flew into Cincinnati from London. I had spent the past four weeks studying in Oxford, England, making one of the most memorable experiences of my life. A month in England gave me plenty of time to see the sights, down the fish and chips, get in touch with mainstream English culture, and get a feel for the ancient, quaint, but touristy city that is modern Oxford. Upon saying goodbye, though, I realized that no matter how much time I had spent there, it wouldn’t be enough to counter the fact that I would not be returning anytime soon. The friends and experiences I had formed there—some of the best in my life—would be forever engraved in my mind, but the odds of seeing these friends or reliving these memories ever again outside my own head would be slim to none.

Just so, only less apparently, those of us who keep coming to national conventions keep coming with the knowledge we’ll face

the farewell that the close of every convention forces from us. Though it’s true that many of our good-byes last only a year, the implications of time upon our work are undeniable. As Classicists, an intimate knowledge with the persistence of tempus fugit means that goodbyes are a recurring part of what we must endure. Like my seven fellow departing national officers, I, too, must say farewell in a way. The work we did and the dreams we conceived are primarily a thing of the past. The substantive part of that past, like my Oxford and all our memories, is essentially irrecoverable.

But the reality of what we do as Classicists must invoke an entirely different consideration. Our specialty is hindsight: we’re trained to see history as the unraveling of a universal theme through different particulars in different times. We see the present as a continuous document of human history that always reflects and borrows from the past. We alone are the privileged inheritors of this knowledge. In our efforts to preserve and understand the continuity of our connection to the legacies our forebears left us, the immortality of our convictions should convince us that goodbyes are, if not non-existent, then entirely irrelevant to our spirit.

Just so, this farewell is an inaugural. We close the past year acknowledging its aspirations; we open a new season embracing them. For the dreams of the past are intrinsically dreams, and by definition undone: dreams demand action and yearn for the creativity of the future. By building upon these visions and dedicating ourselves to unfinished works, we can transform mere confidence in conquest to mean the reality of our success. In the words of Aesop, Fortuna nobis vi animi tantum frenabitur—“the level of that success is limited only by our imagination.”

Imagination and dedication in combination will ensure that

the ideas our predecessors left us will be fulfilled in the term ahead of the present board. My fellow officers and I commit to propel this organization out of the ambiguity of possibility into a clear concept of what we must do and will do in the year ahead. The strength to do this lies in our unity as a collective body. It resides in the dynamism of our individual members. Greatest of all, like the pharaohs interred in their pyramids, it is embedded in the Classical legacy that shields and surrounds the reality of our creative vision. Si monumentum requiris, circumspice.

Spirit is a way of life!

Salvete JCL,I am pleased to say this year has

been the most exciting year. From becoming a national officer to pinning the new 2nd Vice President, I have had experiences that cannot be replaced in a lifetime. I was so excited when I received mail from schools that completed over 400 hours of community service in ten different ways, or when I heard the President of the United States was going to recognize the National Junior Classical League and its wonderful doings.

I would like to thank the JCL for giving me the opportunity I had as a national officer to meet new people, experience new things, and have a wonderful year planning another very successful convention. I had a wonderful time working with the other officers and committee members, and best of luck to the new board and committee members. Thank you JCL for giving me the best memories and experiences I will ever have. I truly have been touched by the friendly hand of JCL!

Ex animo,Maggie Marshall

2007-2008 NJCL 2nd Vice PresidentMaintain decorum!

Dear JCLers,After returning home from the

2008 NJCL Convention at Miami University, all I could think about was how I wanted to go back. The entire week was filled with hard work, plenty of fun, and memories that will not be soon forgotten. I hope each of you enjoyed the week just as much as I did. My duties at convention, which included presiding over Nominations Committee, Candidates' Speeches, and Open Forum, all were completed successfully with the help of my fellow officers. The newly elected board is filled with enthusiastic JCLers, and I have no doubt that next years convention at UC Davis will be just as memorable.

This past year has been a journey that I will never forget. I leave my JCL years behind, ready and eager to begin my SCL years. Considering how much the JCL has given to me over the past 6 years, I can't wait to start giving back as an SCLer. See you next year!

Semper,Carissa Williams

Picture Queen!

Dear Fellow JCLers,It is hard to believe that another

year has gone by; and WOW, what a year it was! It has been both an honor and a privilege to have served as your 2007-2008 NJCL Historian. I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute I spent sorting through the thousands of pictures you sent, editing music clips, compiling my scrapbooking guidelines and hints, and creating this year’s digital scrapbook: Making Memories.

For those of you who were able to view the scrapbook at nationals, I hope you enjoyed seeing the many memories that we have created as an organization. For those of you were not able to attend, we are still trying to find a way to make the scrapbook widely available… stay tuned!

In addition to completing all of my duties and goals, I have also been fortunate to meet many of you excited JCLers. Please do not let that enthusiasm die for it is your spirit and passion that fuels the JCL. Thank you once again to everyone who sent me pictures or aided in my historian duties. Your aid allowed me to capture the wonders and excitement that this organization has to offer. I know I have truly been touched by the friendly hand of JCL, and I hope you have been too!

Maximas Gratias!Kathryn Kukla

Minutes make the world go round!

Dear JCLers,It's been a wacky and wonderful

year serving as the NJCL Secretary. The year was busy, filled with Planning Meetings, minutes, correspondence with state officers, minutes, Convention, and, yeah, minutes. It was an honor and a privilege to work with the 2007-2008 NJCL Officers: the symposium of ideas at the meetings, the bonding between us, and the silly late nights talking.

Furthermore, I have a few thank yous to make: to, of course, the NJCL Officers and the National Committee, for all your dedication; to my North Carolina JCL, for all your support and understanding; to Missouri JCL for the mischief and mayhem at Convention; and finally to my Latin teacher, Mr. Naylor, for all the years of pushing me to excel.

last days before classes begin for me at Lehigh University, I cannot help but think what my life would have been like without this memorable experience. A few words that come to mind: bland, boring, and dreary. Without my JCL memories and experiences, I would not have gained the tools to excel in my future professional field, medicine, which requires adequate writing skills; and for that, JCL, thank you.

Disregarding the professional benefits, JCL has had a profound impact on my social life. I have made so many life-long friends that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Without these friends my life would be trivial. I believe a few thank yous are in order. To North Dakota for all the wonderful memories you’ve helped me build; you guys have been great! To the National Officers, it has been a pleasure working with you this year; you're all awesome friends! To the National Committee, especially Mr. Volk and Dr. Fu, thank you for a great year, I cannot express the impact all of you have made on my life! And finally to you, JCL and JCLers, thank you for some of the best memories of my life. See you next year in Cali!

Brownfully yours,Pranish Kantak

2007-2008 NJCL Editor

Robot Army...

Salvete, JCLers!As of this writing, in less than

400 hours I will be in Baltimore beginning my new life as a college student of biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins University. When I took office last summer, this moment was about 9,100 tense, tedious, and uncertain hours away. In the 8,700 hours I spent as your technology coordinator last year, so much has happened to me, the NJCL website, and JCL as a whole.

I believe I will always be remembered as the officer who managed to get outsourced. Just a few months under my reign of technological terror and the decade-old njcl.org crumbles. It seems that after only four officers, the nascent position of technology coordinator prepares for its final hours. If you haven’t already heard, in order to truly bring JCL into the Information Age with services including online convention registration and photo/video galleries, the committee and I have decided to hand the website over to a third party, who will likely redo and manage njcl.org from now on. Yes, it is the end of an era, but at the same time it is the beginning of a new, better age for technology in JCL.

In the same way, I find myself not thinking about how I am going to survive without the title of NJCL officer, but rather about my future involvement in SCL and return to convention next year in my home state of California. In order to accommodate those used to attending convention among farms, fields, and woods, we have selected the UC Davis campus. I suggest a preconvention trip to the LA or San Francisco area. UC campuses do have a reputation for very nice dorms and food, so keep this in mind when registration time rolls around next year. Until then, I’ll remain in SCL-hibernation, buried by my multivariable calculus, organic chemistry, and marketing courses. I hope to graduate in four years with a degree in biomedical engineering with a focus in cyborg army production (or something to that effect). To my successor and the rest of the new board, I leave the following advice: stay punctual, do your EOMs early, and though the temptation to act like a haughty Roman emperor might be difficult to resist, the Californian reminds you to smile, stay a little laid back, and enjoy your time at convention. I will reiterate the thanks I gave a few weeks ago to Mrs. Altieri, my Latin teacher, sponsor on the board, and mentor throughout high school. I would also like to thank my mentor on the committee: Mr. O’Neil, who I hope is enjoying the USB dart launching turret I got him to defend his home office space. Finally, a warm thanks to anyone who’s been part of the California nationals delegation for the past three years. You’ve all helped to make the best memories of my high school experience.

Ex animo,Noah Young

Summa Cum Laude Sponsors and Maxima Cum Laude Chaperones Jeremy Walker, Public Relations Chair

Every summer the NJCL acknowledges dedicated sponsors with the Summa Cum Laude award. This summer two sponsors were given the award: Clint Hagen of Texas, and Estelle Bayer of Kentucky. This award was established during the 1999-2000 academic year as a means to recognize those sponsors who continually give of themselves to further the goals of the JCL at both the state and national levels. This award, which may be viewed as Master JCL Sponsor recognition, is a token of thanks from the national organization for all the effort that these people have put into JCL over the years.

A sponsor can only win the Summa Cum Laude Award once, and the honor is awarded annually to new classes of sponsors who qualify and are nominated. Nomination forms are available from the Sponsors’ Resources section of the website (www.njcl.org ) or from the NJCL’s Oxford Office at NJCL, 422 Wells Mill Drive, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056. Nominations may be made by a state chair or by any NJCL sponsor. Self-nominations are acceptable. Those teachers nominated for the class of 2009 must be active

sponsors and teachers during the 2008-2009 school year. National Committee members are not eligible for this award during their terms of office.

On top of the Summa Cum Laude Sponsors’ award, the NJCL announced the winner of the fourth round of the Maxima Cum Laude Chaperone award. This summer the award was presented to Amy Coffman of Texas. This award recognizes the indispensable chaperones, who are the nuts and bolts that allow our national convention to run smoothly. It is NJCL’s way to give thanks to these wonderful people.

A chaperone can only win a Maxima Award once, and the honor is awarded annually to new classes of chaperones who qualify and are nominated. Nomination forms are available on the NJCL website or from the NJCL’s Oxford office.

Nominated individuals must have chaperoned for at least five conventions, must have actively participated in those conventions, and must be present at the 2009 NJCL convention. National Committee members are not eligible for this award during their terms of office. JCL sponsors are not eligible for this award, but should instead

be considered for the Summa Cum Laude award for sponsors.

This year the JCL honored two of its most dedicated supporters. Susan Marquis, of Missouri, won the Mildred Sterling Award, which was created in 1997

and named for Mildred Sterling, a Latin teacher from Waco, Texas. Mrs. Sterling attended every NJCL Convention from the first one in 1954 all the way up through 1996, and she even attended the 1953 planning meeting for that first convention. The award honors those persons who have attended many NJCL Conventions and who have distinguished themselves with dedication to NJCL during their time here.

Victoria Goodlett, of South Carolina, won the Ed Phinney Book Award, created in 1989 and named after Ed Phinney, a Classics professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a former President of the American Classical League. Dr. Phinney’s contributions to classical studies and to the teaching of Latin and Greek were exemplary. This award honors those who have made significant contributions to the NJCL.

Marquis, Goodlett win Mildred Sterling and Ed Phinney Book Awards

NLE Honors Perfect Papers at ConventionIn 2008, more than 149,000 students

applied to take the thirty-first National Latin Exam. Participation in the Exam has increased each year since its inception in 1977, when approximately 6,000 students enrolled. Students from all fifty states participated, as did students from thirteen foreign countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, China Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and Zimbabwe. This year for the first time, students from Bulgaria and Mozambique also took the NLE.

During the second week in March, over 135,000 students took the National Latin Exam in their own schools, and it was administered in 16 colleges and 15 elementary schools. 272 home-schools also participated. The total perfect papers this year was 1418, with 14,302 Summa Cum Laudes or gold medals, 16,603, or silver medals, 12,039 Magna Cum Laudes, and 12,720 Cum Laudes, for a total of 55,664 awards out of the 135,362 tests taken.

Fall 2008convention recap

With one swipe of her flaming hand, the 2007-2008 NJCL

President, Grace..."on fire" Jeong, set loose the inferno that was the 2008 NJCL Convention at the beautiful home of the JCL, Miami University, from July 28th to August 2nd, 2008. Framed by Cicero's famous words, "Non nobis solum nati sumus — we were not born for ourselves alone," this year's convention theme encouraged JCLers to venture out into their communities and make a point to "extend the friendly hand of JCL" whenever possible.

The 2008 Convention was the focal point of most JCLers' activities throughout the year, both academically and artistically. Local and state events throughout the year were constructed to emulate this year's theme and spread Cicero's beliefs. Evidence of Cicero’s convictions could be seen from the 800+ hours of service JCLers contributed this year.

Much of the preparation for this convention was done well before August 28th, 2008. Many JCLers spent their summer practicing certamen, studying flashcards, reading books, and going over Latin grammar preparing for the academic, heavyweight slugfest that is Nationals.

“A month and a half before Nationals, I put myself on an intense study schedule. I made sure to spend at least six hours per night reading and note taking. The sacrifice was well worth the outcome,” Christopher Londa of Massachusetts and the top scorer in Latin Literature and Mythology said. In addition to his success in testing, Londa helped Massachusetts to a second place finish in Upper Level Certamen.

Academic contests were not the only events that required preparation before Convention. All the Graphic Arts projects had to be submitted to the Graphic Arts Chair, Dobbie Vasquez, early in the week for grading. From animated stories of Aeneas’ journey to exciting photographs from all across the country, the

Graphic Arts entrees combined a considerable amount of wit, intellect, and creativity to deliver a smashing showing throughout the week. The Graphic Arts projects were available for viewing.

While pre-convention preparations are enjoyable and important, some unique occurrences can only be found at National

Convention. Fun mixed with the creativity sometimes brought about by academic luster and swagger can be found only at Convention each year. These characteristics framed a busy, memorable week for JCLers around the country; a week in which they competed in numerous events, ranging from nerve-racking academic contests and physically challenging sporting events, to epic certamen duels.

Academically motivated students tackled demanding tests in 16 different areas, spanning from Classical Art to Hellenic History. Most tests, save the daunting Academic Decathlon, split JCLers into levels, allowing them to test their knowledge at an even plane. This year Christopher Husch of California and Evan Draim of Virginia tied for first place in Academics.

The frightening Academic Decathlon, which tests students’ knowledge in 10 areas, is offered only to students at Level III or higher, and eats unwary test-takers for breakfast. The Decathlon is such a vigorous test, that participants must have permission from their Latin teachers to compete. This year, Ketan Ramakrishnan (WI) took home first place, and won a cash prize of $500. For the first year, because of an anonymous donor, the top five places in the Decathlon were awarded a cash prize. 2nd place: Christopher Husch, CA; 3rd place: Jacob Meister, MA; 3rd place: Dallas Simons, TN; 4th place: Emma Leahy, VA; 5th place: James Carroll, MA. 2nd place was awarded $400; 3rd place, $300; 4th place, $200; and 5th place, $100.

For students who wanted an academically challenging task, just without scantrons and pencils, Certamen was a perfect option. Certamen is a Jeopardy-style game, in which teams of four compete against each other in a race to answer 20 challenging questions, spanning from Latin grammar to Roman Mythology. Each question is also

accompanied by a bonus question, answered by the entire team.

This year the first place teams in all levels demonstrated incredible poise and class in capturing their victories. “The competition this year was unbelievable. Throughout the contest everyone played with such style and flair; it really made Certamen an enjoyable experience for me this year,” Dallas Simons, part of Tennessee’s fourth place team said.

The Novice first place team hailed from Massachusetts. Team members: Derek Booth; Eda Kaceli; Edward Kleiner; and Patrick Londa. The Intermediate first place team resides in Florida. Team members: Lynn Killea; Sam Leach; Jane Darby Menton; Gabriel Molina; and Alvin Wang. The Advanced first place team is from Virginia. Every year the winning team in the Advanced level is awarded the Maureen O’Donnell Traveling Trophy and a $500 cash prize. Team members: Erik Friedrickson; Emma Leahy; Imran Husain; and Michael Velchick. Congratulations to all who participated.

This year, by the virtue of our anonymous donor, the winner of each level will now receive a brand new certamen machine. Also, the Certamen MVP award will now be expanded to all three levels instead of just the Advanced Level. That is, there will now be an MVP for each separate level of certamen. Similarly, in Open Certamen, delegates were given the chance to compete in a much more laid back atmosphere while still maintaining

the main ideals of competitive certamen. The Novice first place team consisted of Amanda Evans (FL) and Emily Skrutskie (VA); the Intermediate first place team consisted of Richard Dietz (TX), Erin Malone (FL), Steven Roberts (TN), and Cory Temple (NC); the Advanced first place team consisted of Marcinina Alvaran (IL), Melissa Freilich (OH), and Nathan Shippee (WI).

Last year at Convention, a new type of Certamen was added to the field of events. It’s called the World Series of Certamen (WSOC) and contestants consist of SCL members, sponsors, and chaperones. It allows JCLers to sit back, and watch the adults battle it out for the acclaimed “Schearer Stick,” the traveling trophy of WSOC. While the competitions may not be as fierce as Competitive Certamen, or even Open Certamen, WSOC is still an entertaining competition. This year the Texas team Cornua Longa (The Longhorns) took home the Susan Schearer pogo-stick and WSOC t-shirts.

For students who prefer to compete in athletic events rather than academic events, Ludi and Olympika are perfect. The competitions were intense this year as individual and state teams fought against each other in many athletic competitions, including swimming , soccer, basketball, Ultimate Frisbee, and others. Although the competitions were fierce, all the JCLers displayed proper sportsmanship towards both their fellow competitors and their SCL

Elections 2008. This is not November 2008, this is July 2008, a much more anticipated time of year, the time for NJCL elections. 11 candidates sought to fill eight spots on the 2008-2009 NJCL Executive Board. While their campaign methods and strategies may have been more elementary than those used by Barack or John, these candidates proved they could "sell" themselves to the public. In the end, only eight of these proven candidates would have the honor to serve the NJCL on the 2008-2009 Executive Board.

In the Nominations Committee meeting, candidates are approved by the states' voting delegates. Each office on the executive board had either one or two candidates, hence there was no state of emergency and no need to limit candidates from running. The voting delegates approved the following candidates: Brandon Bark (LA) for President; Shilpa Apte (ND) and Tacy Allen (MI) for First Vice-President; Sherelle Wu (IL) and Brad Abplanalp (IN) for Second Vice-President; Quinn Stewart (CA) for Secretary; Elizabeth Hur (WI) for Parliamentarian; Amanda Haislip (VA) and Angel Bernadas (TX) for Historian; Jacob Welch (KY) for Editor; and Paula Luong (MA) for Technology Coordinator. Delegates had the opportunity to meet with the candidates during the Meet the Candidates at the Bazaar on Wednesday before the candidates addressed the convention attendees at Wednesday’s general assembly. Finally, they answered delegates’ questions at the Candidates’ Open Forum on Thursday, a few hours before state fellowship and voting. States then met for an afternoon fellowship to decide who would lead the NJCL into the 2008-2009 year.

The 2008-2009 NJCL Executive Board is as follows: Brandon Bark, President; Shilpa Apte, First Vice-President; Sherelle Wu, Second Vice-President; Quinn Stewart, Secretary; Elizabeth Hur, Parliamentarian; Amanda Haislip, Historian; Jacob Welch, Editor; and Paula Luong, Technology Coordinator.

referees. This year we were graced with beautiful weather to pursue these activities and JCLers took advantage, with record attendances at most of the events. Overall it was a very successful year.

A NJCL Convention can never be completed without wild spirit each day. It is just not the identity of the JCL. Spirit takes center stage during the 15 minutes preceding GA's 2, 3, and 4. As always, daily spirit themes played essential roles in determining a state's plan for spirit. This year’s themes played off of many distinct Ohio celebrities and features. “One small step…,” “Purple and Corn,” and “Hometown Heroes,” allowed JCLers to let their hair down and show their creative side. This year the overall state spirit winners were as follows: Small, Kansas; Medium, Wisconsin; and Large, Virginia.

“Spirit this year was amazing! Seeing it on stage for the first time was breathtaking; I’ve never seen such enthusiasm and energy,” Noah Ford Dunker, of North Dakota, said.

This year’s Convention was different from many of the others. It was at the home of JCL, the schedule was changed slightly, and the dining hall assignments were changed. Despite these changes, the enthusiasm of each JCL delegate created an amazing bond of friendship between each other, making this year a memorable convention.

This convention would not have been possible without the grit and sweat of several individuals. Special thanks should go out to the NJCL Officers, National Committee, SCL, Miami University staff, Ohio delegation, and every single one of the JCL delegates who attended this year’s 55th NJCL Convention. Thank you for making this a memorable convention for all! See all of you next year at the beautiful University of California Davis, with the theme of “fortuna nobis vi animi tantum frenabitur — the level of our success is limited only by our imaginations (Aesop)." Hopefully we can take Aesop’s wise words to heart leave our imaginations behind and discover the level of our success. See all of you next year!

This year’s NJCL Convention at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, was extremely busy and would not have been such a success without the rarely credited Senior Classical League. The SCL holds auditions and performs skits for That’s Entertainment, and are also responsible for Ludi and Olympika, while sacrificing much-needed sleep to produce the Convention Ear. With sarcasm, caffeine, and wit, the SCL takes care of the responsibilities beyond the realm of the NJCL Officers. They are what make the JCL experience that much more extraordinary, and an infinite amount of thanks should be given out in honor of the SCL, without whom the convention would not have reached its full potential.

Additionally, the SCL held their own General Assemblies, officer elections, and fundraised for a scholarship, obtaining money by selling themselves in Rent-a-Roman or collecting donations outside That’s Entertainment. All their proceeds aid SCL members with majors in the Classics. SCL definitely embodied the spirit of this year’s theme, “Non nobis solum nati sumus — We are not born for ourselves alone.” Please welcome the 2008-2009 NSCL Officers: President Zachary Fenno, Brown University; Vice-President Collette Forcier, University of Iowa; Secretary Caitlin Johnston, Indiana University; Treasurer Abbey Peters, Wooster College; Parliamentarian Jon Survant, Kentucky Wesleyan; Editor Alex Hemsley, Syracuse University; and Historian Tyler Lloyd, University of Louisville. Farewell to the outgoing 2007-2008 NSCL Officers: President Tyler Cunnion, Villanova University; Vice President Carolyn Troha, The College of William and Mary; Secretary Zachary Fenno, Brown University; Treasurer Paul De, University of Virginia; Parliamentarian Chris Warrington, Jones College and Rice University; Historian Allyson Eidson, Virginia Commonwealth University; and Editor Caitlin Johnston, Indiana University.

Every year at convention, the SCL hosts a talent competition called That’s Entertainment. After many auditions, seventeen acts earned the right to perform, and the rest of JCL eagerly awaited a strong display of talent. From swing dancing to Bengali singing, the following students entertained us with their talents: Sai Sawicki (OH), Sarahbeth Stretcher (OH), Carson Graham (FL), Alex Vankooy, Nicholas Layman, Justin Baode, Joseph Traum (NJ), James Chang (FL), Malika Dickson (MA), Nora Hyde, Erin Schmidt (ND), Joseph Marx (KS), Casey Marek (NV), Irteza Binti-Farid (VA), Brendon Walsh (TX), Ashley Shonyo (TX), Joy Walls (AL), Jennifer Friedman, Jonathon Kittaka (IL), Jocelyn Bauman (ND), Noah Ford-Dunker, Ethan Kraft, Sam Wehri (ND), and Joseph Deluna & Crew (FL).

First place was awarded to James Chang (FL), who performed Chopin on piano. Sarabeth Stretcher (OH) won second place with an Irish dance. With a contemporary dance, Casey Marek (NV) placed third, and this year an honorable mention was given to Joseph Deluna & Crew (FL), who performed Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” All performances contributed to an excellent show.

It is tradition for SCL to perform skits between acts to entertain JCLers with their wit and humor; highlighted by 2008-2009 NSCL President Zach Fenno as “Rainbow,” SCLers made a spoof of American Gladiators. NJCL officers also performed a skit in which they competed in a pageant with the winner being newly elected NJCL President Brandon Bark. Ending the show with a bang, the Racketeers appeared for their 24th time in That’s Entertainment. This year’s show proved to be nothing less that spectacular, and the memories will never be forgotten.

2008 overall achievement

When standing in a General Assembly at National Convention, first time attendees may be caught off guard when delegates start shouting the six essential phrases at the end of the creed that best exemplify the spirit of JCL. However, JCLers across the nation take these ideals to heart, especially the part of JCL reminding delegates that JCL "encourages competition." After all, JCL is an organization comprised of champions who thrive off of competitions. Thus, it would make sense that JCL takes time to honor those champions who go above the call of duty. That's where the Lilie B. Hamilton Award comes into play.

This award recognizes students with the most sweepstakes points at convention by placing in at least three of five contest categories: academics, competitive certamen, creative arts, graphic arts and Olympika. The award is named for Lillie B. Hamilton, a retired sponsor and former national committee member from Union City, GA. She had been very helpful in the Convention Contest office for many years and remains an active member of the retired sponsors group, SPQR. The winners of the Lillie B. Hamilton awards this year are 1. Emma Leahy (VA); 2. Dallas Simons (TN), 3. Rebekah Rust (NC), 4. Evan Draim (VA), 5. Jacob Meister (MA).

Competitors get sweepstakes points for every first through fifth place ribbon they receive. The top ten winners in each category earn medals, along with the top ten overall winners. The overall sweepstakes winners are as follows: 1. Emma Leahy (VA); 2. Dallas Simons (TN), 3. Rebekah Rust (NC), 4. Evan Draim (VA), 5. Christopher Husch (CA), 6. Jacob Meister (MA), 7. Sarah Rust (NC), 8. Grace Thomas (MA); 9. David Mahin (OH); 10. Ketan Ramakrishnan (WI); 10. Cody Simons (TN)

Evan Draim (VA) and Christopher Husch (CA) tied for first

place in academics; Ingrid Heidelberger, (VA) in creative arts; Rebekah Rust (NC) in graphic arts; and Dallas Simons (TN) in Olympika.

Another great honor is placing on the Academic Decathlon exam, which tests students’ knowledge in ten subject areas with obscure and difficult questions. This year there were two winners. Winning first prize, Ketan Ramakrishnan (WI), received a $500 cash prize to reward his outstanding accomplishment. This year the NJCL received a generous contribution from an anonymous donor, allowing the top 5 place winners in the Academic Decathalon to receive a cash prize. 2nd place-$400; 3rd place- $300; 4th place- $200; 5th place- $100. The NJCL would like to express its gratitude to our anonymous donor. Thank you!

The other top placers on this exam are: 2 Christopher Husch, CA; 3 Jacob Meister, MA; 3 Dallas Simons, TN; 4 Emma Leahy, VA; 5 James Carroll, MA.
