McAuley Elizabeth Mushaben McAuley ' s OJCL chapter has been busy since convention ! To start things off , this past spring McAuley Latin alumna Sasha Parks came in to our classes for a special seminar on weaving to complement our study of the Odyssey . Sasha actually taught us how to build ancient warp-weighted looms and weave like Penelope herself ! Some of us wouldn ' t have been able to fend off the suitors with our textiles , but we had fun all the same .

McAuley Elizabeth Mushaben McAuley ' s OJCL chapter has been busy since convention ! To start things off , this past spring McAuley Latin alumna Sasha Parks came in to our classes for a special seminar on weaving to complement our study of the Odyssey . Sasha actually taught us how to build ancient warp-weighted looms and weave like Penelope herself ! Some of us wouldn ' t have been able to fend off the suitors with our textiles , but we had fun all the same .
We are also proud to share that former OJCL 1 st VP Julia Cardinal , our club ' s coconsul and the overall sweepstakes winner at last year ' s convention , is now a Classics major at Duquesne University ! Despite being only a freshman , she has already been hired by the Classics department as a Latin tutor ! # LatinPays . We ’ re all extremely proud of her and of what she ’ s accomplished .
Last , but certainly not least , McAuley Latin clubbers travelled to Italy for a week in July . Led by Professor Scott Keister from the University of Akron and Mrs . Nora Denning from St . X , seven McAuley OJCLers visited Rome , Florence , Pompeii and more on this action-packed trip . The Mohawks were even set to climb Mt . Vesuvius itself , but wildfires had them fleeing like it was 79 A . D . all over again ! If you ' ve ever wanted to see anything else , though , in Italy , the girls probably saw it on this trip of a lifetime ! Finally , three students – Katlyn Havlin , Ellie Kammerer , and Julia Cardinal – went to Alabama for Nationals and represented Ohio very well there ! Congrats , ladies !
NJCL !
