Roger Lewis Captures
Two Lotin First Places
Roger Lewis, senior, won first
place in both the Mythology con
test and the Derivatives contest
for third year Latin students at
the national Junior Classical
League convention this summer.
The gathering of Latin students
took place on the campus of the
University of Indiana at Bloom
ington, Indiana, August 13-17. The
delegations from the fifty states
and the District of Columbia were
housed in the Tower Center dorm
itories.
Roger, accompanied by Mary
Bradley, class of ’61, Sherry Kel
lett and Sammy Pegram, juniors,
and thirty other delegates from
North Carolina, travelled two days
by train to reach the University.
JCL, the largest classical orga
nization in the world, was repre
sented by 1200-1300 young people
and sponsors. Mrs. Mac C. Satter-
white of Oxford is the sponsor
for the North Carolina group. She
has held this position for a term
of three years.
Contests for Others
There were also Mythology and
and Derivatives contests for first
and second year students, as well
as a costume contest with more
than sixty entries, and a vocabu
lary contest. The scrapbook con
test is judged by the quality of the
book, and the number of column
inches printed about that chapter
in various newspapers determines
the winner of the publications
contest.
The election of national officers
was an important phase of the
convention. The balloting resulted
in the following officers: presi
dent, Dean Heller, Jacksonville,
Florida; vice president, Mary Ann
Yeager, Conrad, Montana; secre
tary, Sara Fry, Ellinwood, Kan
sas; treasurer, Roz 'Weezner, Wa
bash, Indiana; and parliamentar
ian, Mike Petracek, Alamogordo,
New Mexico.

the discus throw, the shot-put,
relays, broad jumping, wrestling,
and a chariot race. In the race
the boys competed in chariots
drawn by girls. The games were
opened by a, human-clad runner
bearing a lighted torch. He was
followed by the 1960-61 Junior
Classical League president riding
in a sedan chair.
Each conventioner received a
newspaper entitled the CONVEN
TION EAR. This paper was pub
lished as a momento for the dele
gates to the meeting.
There were two panel discus
sions on the topic “How Latin Has
Helped Me.” Panelists were from
the University of Indiana for the
first discussion, and from the town
of Bloomington for the second.
The moderator for both discus
sions was Dan Roby of Chester
field, Indiana.
Workshop Groups
Attending workshops was the
program for almost an entire aft
ernoon. Some of the groups were
concerned with historians, state
chairmen, publications, finance,
service projects, costumes, and
banquets. Others’ dealt with state
federations, membership, pro
grams, publicity, future teachers
and scholarships, state and chap
ter presidents and state and chap
ter treasurers. According to Roger,
the workshop on costumes was the
most successful because it was so
carefully planned.
The ninth annual Junior Classi
cal League convention in 1962 is
to be at the Montana State Uni
versity in Bozeman, with a side
trip to Yellowstone National Park.
