On September 13, we kicked off the year with our induction ceremony, led by student officers, in which all members speak and sign the JCL creed. On October 26th, Middle School and Upper School Latin students attended UT Latin Day. On February 22nd, all students made their own togas which they wore to school and then out to dinner at Gondalier restaurant. Over 20 students participated in the dinner, which certainly got a lot of looks from the other restaurant patrons. On March 12 t , the National Latin Exam was given to all Latin students, 7 th -12 th grade. Currently we are working in class on preparation for Latin convention in Memphis. We will be making costumes, sprucing up our banner, writing and directing dramatic and vocal performances, in addition to our other preparations, both academic and otherwise. All the activities continue amid our regular schedule of classes.
We use the Cambridge Latin Course, except in Latin IV, in which we read selections from Ovid and Catullus, and in Latin V AP which is currently delving into Vergil’s Aeneid after finishing Caesar’s de Bello Gallico.
