Welcome to the 2015 Indiana Junior Classical League State Convention
You are among more than 250 delegates, sponsors, and chaperones from 11 schools
throughout the state attending this event. We hope that each of you has a good time representing your school in this friendly competition.
Remember at all times that we are guests of the Grand Wayne Convention Center and that
your actions reflect not only upon you but also on your school and the IJCL as a
whole. There are a few rules that must be followed:
1. Name tags are required at all times and must be visible (around your neck). They are
your admittance to all JCL functions, especially the Roman banquet. This tag contains
your student ID number, necessary for all competitions, especially testing. It also contains your pizza choice for the pizza party. Go to the Contest Office in the Board Room
with $3.00 to receive a replacement if you lose yours.
2. Attendance is required at all general assemblies and at the candidates’ speeches. Please
be sure that you are on time at each session so that the program may continue on schedule. Each chapter delegation is to sit beside or behind the standard/banner provided. (These banners are used by the IJCL at various events through the year and should
not be taken.) Please do not place banners you brought over these banners. We invite
you to display your school banners on either side of the stage.
3. Bring your program with you to each general assembly. You will need it for the song,
creed, and pledge, as well as any schedule changes.
4. Cell phones of delegates, sponsors, and chaperones must be turned off during all general
assemblies and during competitions such as testing, creative arts contests, and certamen.
5. Students who drove to convention may not drive their cars during the convention.
6. Anyone who drove a car may park in the parking garage across the street from the hotel. Have your parking pass validated at the hotel desk for free parking.
7. Each person must stay in the assigned hotel room. Each person must be in his/her own
room at curfew.
8. All participants in Latin Oratory, English Oratory, Dramatic Interpretation, and Costume
Contest must re-confirm their plans to participate in the Harrison Prefunction after General Assembly I.
9. All participants in Sight Latin Reading must re-confirm by signing up for a specific time
when they want to participate.

25. Please dress in good taste at all times. No stage participants, including candidates and those

Dear IJCL State Convention Delegate,
Salve! Welcome to the 62nd Indiana State Convention! This weekend is the keystone to the
IJCL year, where your Latin knowledge, artistic and creative talents, and undying enthusiasm
for the classics will be put to the test. Literally. A plethora of competitions are available to
you at this convention, ranging from the Costume Contest to the Latin Vocabulary Test. With
so many opportunities, I suggest you to Carpe Diem (seize the day) by becoming involved in
as many activities as possible. I warmly extend the friendly hand of the JCL to you during this
amazing weekend.
One thing I wanted to address is that the IJCL is not all about winning ribbons and taking
home the sweepstakes. It’s about the memories that you will gain through these activities.
Activities including a pizza party, Rent-A-Roman, and the return of the famous talent show,
“That’s Entertainment,” allow you to relax and enjoy time with friends. The Indiana Junior
Classical League is filled with bright, charismatic, and most importantly, passionate people. It
is at these moments where I encourage you to speak to the random guy or gal next to you and
start new friendships that can last beyond your IJCL experience. If you ever see me or one of
my fellow officers, don’t be afraid to stop us and introduce yourself! I promise you that we
don’t bite! If you’re still skeptical, I myself can speak for this as I have made some of my best
friends at these conventions throughout the past 4 years of my IJCL experience. It is truly a
glorious opportunity and I advise you to take advantage of it!
Your board members and I have worked hard on this convention in order for you to have an
unforgettable experience. Whether it was scrounging the Convention center for placement
ideas or debating over food choices for the Roman Banquet, we have dedicated our time to
make you comfortable and satisfied.
So sharpen those pencils, finish those art pieces, have your registration cards filled out, your
voices ready to cheer, and throw on that toga. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you have
the time of your life here at the Grand Wayne Convention Center. Cheers to a great convention!
Gratias tibi ago.
Ex animo,
Eric Kim
IJCL 1st Vice President

Welcome from the Indiana Senior Classical League
Salve IJCLer,
Welcome to the 2015 Indiana Junior Classical League State Convention!
On behalf of the Indiana Senior Classical League, I would like to welcome you to the
Grand Wayne Center in Fort Wayne for what is sure to be a memorable and exciting
weekend.
For those of you who are not familiar with us, the Senior Classical League is a group of
high school graduates who wish to pursue further involvement with the Junior Classical League through service to the organization. Throughout the convention, the members of the ISCL will be assisting with most events and working hard behind the scenes
in hopes that our efforts will make your convention experience enjoyable and successful. We have worked especially hard preparing the Ludi and Rent-a-Roman.
During the weekend, the Senior Classical League welcomes graduating seniors to join
us at our Social for Seniors on Friday evening to become further acquainted with our
organization. Those who join ISCL this weekend will also be eligible to attend our annual meeting on Saturday afternoon. We encourage you to continue your involvement
with the JCL through membership in the Senior Classical League- a great way to come
back and give back to this organization we love.
Once again, I would like to welcome you to the Grand Wayne Center and I hope that
you make the best of your 2015 Indiana Junior Classical League State Convention!
Ex animo,
Drew Herrmann
ISCL President

HEY HOOSIERS!
HEY WHAT??
LET ME HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON NATIONALS!
“Nationals is nearly impossible to
summarize--just one day at nationals
is filled with enough new friends, new
inside jokes, and excitement for a lifetime.”
-Kendal Paul, Homestead High School
OKAY!
“Everyone should go to National Convention
because it is a great opportunity to discover
new things about the classical world. Not
only will you learn and do several fun activities, but you will also forge some of the
strongest friendships anyone could want.”
-Albert Cross III, Bedford North Lawrence
High School
“Everyone should go to Nationals
because it is a special place where
everyone who loves Latin - not just
kids from Indiana - can come together and celebrate what we love.”
-Anna Werkowski, Crown Point
High School
“The bus ride was very entertaining,
filled with so many memories...especially the famous monastery story...It’s life changing.”
-Kyle Thompson, Crown Point
High School

high school and college audiences since 2003. Drawing on his
Bachelor's Degree in the Classics from the University of Wisconsin Madison, his extensive experience teaching private music lessons, and
his years of writing and performing original rock and acoustic music,
Joe has created a 30 minute long composition for solo acoustic guitar
and voice, which tells the story of The Odyssey in song, invoking the
spirit of the ancient Greek bards who originally brought forth the
timeless stories of Odysseus and the heroes of the Trojan War.
The Odyssey was honored in 2003, 2004, and 2012 with an American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers
(ASCAP) Award.
The Show
The Odyssey consists of 24 short songs sung by Joe Goodkin while playing the acoustic guitar. The performance is
continuous and runs around 30 minutes.
After the Show
After the performance, Joe will be answering any questions you might have had during his performance at his own
booth during the 1:45 Bazaar. He will also have some merchandise for purchase. Learn more by visiting Joe’s website: http://www.joesodyssey.com/
Sponsor of the Show
Support for the Odyssey in Song performance at this year’s Indiana Junior Classical League State Convention has

Initiative Grant from their Committee for the Promotion of Latin (CPL). The IJCL is greatly appreciative of their
support.

and hide yourself!" This sentence is said to be pronounced
by Hannibal (or even by Alaric the Visigoth) as he neared the
gates of Rome.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

JCL CREED
We, the members of the Junior Classical League,
covenant to hand on the torch of classical civilization in the modern world.
We believe an acquaintance with the civilizations of Greece and Rome
will help us understand and appraise this 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.
JCL SONG
Seeking the best, the highest our goals,
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 J-C-L aids in every way.
In Rome’s proud steps we’re marching on
With every true colleague,
And forever we’ll hold to the Purple and Gold
Of the Junior Classical League.
