Fall Issue, 2019 From Your President From Your Editors Salvēte amīcī! Salvēte amīcī! I’m Connie, your Latin club president. I’m so excited for all the things in store from our club this year! This year, you readers can expect a lot of fun activities like certamens, picnics, and of course our pizza-movie nights. On the service side, we have tons of Matthew 25 events and other service projects coming up. Stay tuned by following our Instagram @scdlatin and get updates about our events! Thanks so much for getting involved with our club - we really appreciate it. I’m looking forward to working with such an awesome board this year and I know that we’re going to have a great year! I hope you enjoy reading this issue of Vox Latina as much as I enjoyed creating it! In this issue, we have a recap of Latin convention activities, from this past NJCL in Fargo to this year’s in Virginia. Featured also are articles about our favorite family in OJCL (the Deans), the relevance of mythology in our modern lives, the origin of words, and current archaeological findings about Ancient Rome— a wide range of topics for a wide variety of interests! A heartfelt article about Latin Love is relatable to all of us who persist and persevere because of our passions. Many thanks to those who contributed to this issue! I’m looking forward to an exciting year ahead for Vox Latina. Grātiās maximās vōbīs agō, Irene and Abby Grātiās maximās vōbīs agō, Connie! 3
