JCL does not just mean Junior Classical League to Florida State University School. It means
good competition, with great spirit, among friends. This competition allows us to learn from
the past and relate it to the present.
|
The Junior Classical League is not only about Latin, but also about an opportunity to better
ourselves, while having fun, meeting friends, and excelling in competition.
It also gives an incentive for Latin scholars to continue studying Latin to levels as high
as Latin V and VI.

| Learning about the ancient Romans and Greeks is interesting and enlightening while also
providing us with insights on today's society. |
JCL Creed
We, the members of the Junior Classical League,
covenant to hand on the torch of classical civilization in the modern world.
We believe that an acquaintance with the civilization
of Greece and Rome will help us understand and appraise
this world of today, which is indebted to ancient civilization
in its government and laws, literature, language and arts.
We affirm the JCL experience develops
responsibility, fosters brotherhood,
promotes enthusiasm, encourages competition, inspires
dedication, and enriches our total growth.
JCL Song
Seeking the best, the highest our goal,
working for greatness through glories of old,
searching the realms of the golden past,
we follow the classics' truths that last.
In knowledge, truth, and fellowship,
we're growing everyday;
the friendly hand of JCL aids in every way.
In Rome's proud steps we're marching on
with every true colleague,
and forever we'll hold
to the Purple and Gold
of the JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE!
