Mrs. Cunningham and Lisa Stearns, the President of Latin Club, went to the National Convention last summer on the east coastg they also inspired the club to become involved in the Junior Classical League Convention and Olympics at which they have a chariot raceg a bit different than in the Rome of old as students pull the chariots instead of horses, but, nevertheless, an interesting reminder of ancient Rome. At the Junior Classical League Convention Junior Steve Connolly was elected State Treasurer. Is A Popular Club At Burke TA, BURKE HIGH SCHOOI .
