Annual Induclions
Occur In JCL
By Kathy Rees
With five glowing candles and
six toga-clad J.C.L. members, the
annual induction services of the
Junior Classical League occurred
recently for 59 new members.
After orchestral members Lya
Labell, Ken McArthur, M. J.
Leonard, Mary Jeane Hildebrandt,
and Dick McCaskill, all seniors,
played a ceremonious introduc
tory piece, president Anne Rubin
as High Priest, pontifex maxi-
mun, welcomed the group.
Initiation rituals began with &
solemn introduction to the Spirit
of the Classics, symbolized by
the kindled center candle, the
fire of interest in the Latin Lan
guage. The Lord’s Prayer was
then read in Latin by Judy Ed
wards, senior.
Kathy Rees, Spirit of First
Year Latin, Jody Turner, Spirit
of Second Year Latin, Larry Al
len, Spirit of Third Year Latin,
and Karen Rubin, Spirit of Fourth
Year Latin, lit the candles repre
senting phases of Latin cultxme
and history.
The new members were then
called forth to affirm their mem
bership into the Junior Classical
League by passing their hands
over the flame symbolizing the
spirit of achievement for high
school Latin scholars.
Induction ceremonies closed
with the Creed of the Junior
Classical League, pledging each
member to acquaint himself with
the ancient civilization of Greece
and Rome so that he can better
understand the world of today.
Students ApplyFor Membership
In School Service Clubs
Approximately 200 students
were voted into service clubs two
weeks ago.
Each club accepted about four
seniors, four juniors, and eight
sophomores this year.
Students who were interested
in being members of a service
club filled out applications two
weeks ago. They expressed which
clubs they preferred by putting
their first, second, and third
choices.
The main projects of each club
were explained to the sophomores
and transfer students in the Jun
ior Civitan handbook which was
given to them at an earlier time.
After applications were com
pleted, they were given to the
presidents ot the different clubs.
Members then voted on the ap
plicants. All areas of the student
were considered, such as . . .
character, interests, hobbies, and
previous school and community
■activities.
After voting on new members,
the lists were sent to the office,
for each member of a club had ta
be approved by A. P. Routh,
principal. Approvement was no£
granted if the student had failed
any courses during the first six
weeks.
When different students were
asked why they wanted to be in
a service club, the main opinion
was “to help civic organizations
and any persons, and also to have
a feeling of belonging.”
Sophomores and transfer stis-
dents were particularly urged t»
join a service club if interested.
All new members accepted into
the clubs were notified last Wed
nesday.
