Stuff

I love updating this blog! I like to make it pretty, even though there are not many visitors... I have edited the design for convention: do you like the new background? It goes with this year's theme!

The Calendar Again

Ave...

Currently, I'm trying to embed the calendar on the blog... but I'm having issues with the html code. I hope to have it on the blog in the next few weeks though.

Meanwhile, I put up a countdown timer until Convention! Personally, I think its nifty.

Calendar first try

I tried to make a calendar... so far it's a bit of a fail. But I'll keep working!

I've made a few temporary changes to the blog: a new picture, new color scheme, etc.

Hope you enjoy them!

General Updates

This year, if you don't have any plans already, go Toga Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF with other WJCLers! See http://youth.unicefusa.org/trickortreat/ for more information.

Also, updated forms are on the website, so please take a look at them, especially if you are planning on running for office this year.

After Convention

Salvete- I hope you all had an awesome time at in Fargo! You can see your individual results here.

Now- looking ahead to next year:
The theme is "Bene legere saecla vincere"(To read well is to conquer the ages), a quote from Isaac Flagg, a 19th Century Classicist. The convention will be held at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond.

A Reminder About Certamen Practices...

Salvete!

Just to remind everyone, "certamen" practices are being held every Monday, Thursday, and Friday until Nationals at MUHS in room 206. Even if you are not interested in playing certamen, these sessions can be very helpful, since Mr. Stemm and Mr. Greenwald often choose a topic to overview before we pull out the buzzers. And someone usually brings delicious food. :)

Hope to see you all there!

Nationals Is Coming Up...

So, as the Wisconsin delegation will be departing on July 26th at Marquette University High School at 8:00 am (only 2 more weeks!), I just wanted to remind you all to drink soda. You read that right- soda- or specifically, something that comes in a two liter bottle. Everyone going to Nationals needs TWO of these bottles for spirit.

Everyone will also need to bring these items because if you don't, disaster will ensue and everyone else will be sad:
White t-shirt
Bike or rollerblade helmet
Khaki pants
Tin foil
Cow bandannas (If you have them)
Black pants/shorts
Red togas (If you still have one)

Birth of The WJCL Blog!!!

Salvete Omnes,

Thanks to a questioner at the 2010 Candidates' Open Forum, The WJCl Blog is born! This blog is for all members of the Wisconsin Junior Classical League- your voice can be heard here. Please contribute by posting announcements, pictures, general (appropriate) randomness, etc.

Bona Fortuna,
