Si.xty- four of these members are eagerly waiting for the annual state Junior Classical Convention in Chapel Hill on March 18. This will be the most interesting trip ever taken to the State Convention because Jimmy Wright, a Webb senior, will be pre siding over the meeting as state J. C.L. president.. This is another “first” for Webb Romans. All of the members planning to attend are entered in either a contest (deriva tives or mythology) or signed up for a workshop (programs, Roman banquets, Latin VV^eek, publicity, costumes, or historian). The annual projects undertaken by the members of Latin I and Lat in II are due soon. These projects include oil pa- .rii-o . scu*.. jres, mu rals, Roman armor, booklets, book- reports, Latin seals and mottos o states, a Trojan horse, a Roman vil la, a guard tower, and many oL.t s. \ alinda Elliott has again assum ed the task of teaching the annu-il Latin Banquet dance to a group of freshmen girls after coaching a very successful teao last year.
