Salvete, omnes! I am a Junior at St. Stephen’ s and St. Agnes School, and feel so unbelievably fortunate to serve as this year’ s VJCL President! I am in my sixth year of taking Latin, and love everything about the subject, being especially fascinated by Greek / Roman mythology and Latin literature. In particular, I have a large love for Ovid and his Metamorphoses, as well as Arthur Golding’ s English translation of the poem. Outside
of Latin, I am a big literature nerd and am always excited and willing to discuss books with anyone. I also work in the plays and musicals at my school. My favorite mythological or historical figure would have to be Dionysus, since Euripides’ Bacchae is my favorite work of fiction!

Salvete omnes, I am Alec Sweet, and I am very excited and honored to be serving as your First Vice President this year. I am currently a Junior at Flint Hill taking AP Latin. This is my 5th year taking Latin, and I have loved it all along. Though, it should be said, my love for VJCL is even greater. I am so thrilled to be a part of this community, and to help it grow. Outside of Latin, I love history, and am the
First VP
First VP president of my school’ s History Club. I also love theater, and am involved in SCA. My favorite classical mythological or historical figure would have to be the very basic answer of Alexander the Great. Besides sharing his name, I also think that he was a brilliant strategist, and without him we wouldn’ t have such cool things as Hellenic Egypt.
