According to club president, Bryan Patterson, “Last year, Spanish Club was not too active, but this year, we have a larger organization, and we are active.

The Junior Classical League, better known as the Latin Club, has adopted this same policy. Dr. Ben Songy’s stu- dents explored the cultural develop- ment of Roman history, arts, and litera- ture and applied it to modern day life through the activities of the Junior Clas¬ sical League. The members experienced competition outside of class by hosting the 1986 state convention. Latin con- vention is the highlight for most club members. Pam Franks said, “I enjoyed meeting other people who had the same interests as I did.” They now have the opportunity to attend the National Latin Convention during the summer. The Ju¬ nior Classical League members have made this dead language come alive with fun. Getting into the school spirit, the club members prepared a Roman chariot as a background for group or individual pictures for the Homecoming activities. In January, they sponsored Toga I, Magnefs first toga dance. In- deed, the Junior Classical League has brought classic Rome to the Magnet scene and captured the spirit of carpe diem, or “seize the day.” Spanish Latin • 197
