Convention Photos are up! (and other March updates)

Salvete, omnes!

The photos from convention are up in our photo bank. They are also available directly here: Convention Photos.

Congratulations again to our basketball, chariot, and scrapbook teams, and all Menlo JCLers for winning the spirit competition and first overall! Also, congratulations to Grace Costello for winning Northern Rep! Menlo is happy to be hosting Ludi Octobres at Stanford University on October 31st!

In addition, the second issue of the Lorica Nostra, our seasonal newsletter, is out. There’s a new Latin crossword and some instructions from Magis for extra credit!

Minutes for March 24th

We leave at 2:00, so tell your teachers that you have to get out early. That is E block that we miss.

 

The most important things are the cheers. We are taking them from the Sea of Gold cheers. We learned them during the meeting but if you were not there find somebody who knows them.

 

They are:

Let’s go Menlo (pump with the clubs)

I believe (pointing, requires lots of energy)

Rollercoaster

 

Then one new one:

 

Conductor: Who are we?

 

Everybody else: Menlo?

 

Conductor: What do we want?

 

Everybody else: State, state, state, state … (while getting pumped and jumping around).

 

 

Technical Difficulties

For the past 2 weeks, the software we use to upload blog posts to the website has been having glitches. As a result, we have switched to a slower but more reliable means of uploading. In addition, the styling for the site has been slightly affected. All content is still up, and the majority of the site is still functional.

We apologize for the issues, and are working on getting the site back up.
