"WE WANT YOU!"
"WE WANT YOU!"
9/15/23 @ WHS: Starting off this year with a bang, Co-Presidents Ryan and Rebecca suited up in their bedsheet armor and flimsy golden laurels with bags of classically themed goods to WHS's gym in anticipation of WHS's annual club fair. As they waved around flags, signs, and spewed jokes about the Roman Empire, several underclassmen gathered around to listen to the legati speak. By the end, WHS JCL found themselves with several new soldiers in their army.

1st FUNDRAISER OF '23-24!
9/22/23 @ WHS: Following the first meeting of the year, Secretary Chloe, Co-President Rebecca, and Editor Mei tackled JCL’s first fundraising attempts at WHS’s annual Open House and Spirit Fair. Selling the bright red water bottles Magistra DeCamp purchased millennia ago to both parents and students alike, these three toga-wearing Caesar-cosplaying officers managed to raise a hefty chunk of the money the club needed to rent a bus for the Massachusetts Junior Classical League State Convention.
