Salvete Omnes,
Welcome back to another year of fierce competition, passionate spirit, and the fun that is JCL.
This year will be the best ever! In order for you to keep up with all the fun, read the Paws Romana, your
reliable and comprehensive newsletter (which is what you are reading right now). My goals this year as
your Publications Editor are to create informative, concise, and aesthetically pleasing magazine-esque
newsletters. As part of my goals, I have included in the first issue several more secularly related classical
articles. I also added a new report column for officers to give a sneak peak at new events, plans, or even
community services. Remember to check out the BLSJCL website and social media (which provides more
frequent updates. Now,I implore those interested in the classics, whether for the thrill or for the glory of
JCL, to follow up on endeavors by fellow enthusiasts of the classics.
Get ready to have
some fun, because the BLSJCL
publicity team has a lot of fun
things planned for the 20162017 school year! We already
have a few events planned for
the end of October since Halloween is coming up such as
pumpkin painting and a group
costume theme, so be sure to
keep a watch out on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) so you don’t miss any
important BLSJCL announcements or event details.
Speaking of social media, we will also have a variety
of fun contests for you to enter
this year, especially if you consider yourself to be artistically
inclined. We will be holding
a new banner design contest
every month and maybe even
a merch design contest! If you
love to draw, paint, design, or
take photos, this is the perfect
opportunity for you to put that
to good use and maybe even
win some prizes for your efforts.
Is art not your specialty?
Don’t worry, we’ll have lots of
other contests, too! More updates will be sent out at a later
date, so stay tuned and check
your feed for more details once
they are set in stone.

Social media, however,
is not the only place where
you will be seeing changes.
There will also be a variety
of fun events throughout the
year.
One of them, which
might already sound familiar, is
our annual Lupercalia event in
February. This year is going to
be a great one, and we hope
that you can join in and help
the club grow by participating
in some of the publicity activities and supporting us in general. Let’s go for the gold this
year and publicize our way to
the top!
“... A variety of
fun events throughout the year. ”

We’re pleased to introduce you to the 2016-2017 school
year! As all your classwork, homework, and extracurricular
activities pile up, we’d like to ask you to take a quick look at our
Junior Classical League (JCL) chapter.
At its core, the JCL is a club that allows students the opportunity to explore their interests in the civilizations of Ancient
Greece and Ancient Rome. All of you who are into Latin and Percy Jackson, or just want to
get involved are welcome to join! If you’re especially into Latin grammar, history, myth or
culture, we also encourage you to join Certamen, a quiz-bowl game. Similar to Jeopardy,
Certamen involves answering a wide variety of questions using a buzzer machine.
Even if you’re not that interested in Latin, you can still join! There are many different
events throughout the year such as conventions. At States and National Conventions, you
can compete in academics, graphic arts, performance arts (like declamation), and athletics! So whether you’re an artist or an athlete, there are always events for you. If you’re the
type of a person who likes being involved in a lot of events and competitions and meeting
a lot of new people, then JCL is the club for you!
Sincerely,
Randy Chen, Tetrarch, Class I
