jcl

An acronym for Junior Classical League, aka Latin Club. The second largest club in America for youths (the first being Boy Scouts). An awesome club that allows you to accel in graphic arts, academics, service to your community, or just being a cool person. Song ("The Purple and Gold"): Seeking the best, the highest our goal, working for greatness through glories of old, searching the realms of the golden past, we follow the classics' truths that last. In knowledge, truth, and fellowship, we're growing every day; the friendly hand of JCL aids in every way. In Rome's proud steps we're marching on with every true colleague, and forever we'll hold the Purple and Gold of the Junior Classical League. Creed: We the members of the Junior Classical League, covenant to hand on the torch of classical civilization in the modern world. We believe that an acquaintance with the civilization of Greece and Rome will help us understand and appraise the world of today, which is indebted to ancient civilization in its government and laws, literature, language and arts. We affirm the JCL experience develops responsibility, fosters brotherhood, promotes enthusiasm, encourages competition, inspires dedication, and enriches our total growth.
