JA: My favorite Certamen -related memory would have to be the 8 hour car ride to my first national certamen at Harvard. It was me, my teacher, the rest of my team, and our advanced team squeezed into our teacher’s van, cramming for the tournament the next day and playing “cartamen” (certamen but in a car).
If you were going to write a pop culture question, what would it be?
PM: I would do something really old like the Charleston and watch everyone not know what it was.
MH: Making a passage by using a translation of song lyrics.
SV: If I were writing a pop culture question, it would be: “The title of what 20th-century English novel could be translated into Latin as ‘Fortis Novus Mundus’?”
MN: Probably something inappropriate enough I'd get banned from writing pop culture questions.
JA: I barely know anything about pop culture, so I’m going to have to save what I do know for writing questions for TJ’s certamen.
Virginia's first certamen of the season is Kickoff Certamen, October 27th!
