Today during meeting we had our elections for next year’s officers! Lots of bribes were brought by the candidates which were enjoyed by the JCL community. We also discussed the possible event in San Francisco with the talk about the Amazon. It is in May close to the time of finals, so senior could go but Magis is going to ask Mr. Lapolla if underclassmen can go as well.

The waffle sale that was originally scheduled for Friday has been moved to next Monday (4/25)! Make sure to sign up for batter and strawberries if you can!

JCL Election Speeches

Bo and Drew’s Speech (for Sports Comissioner):

Salvete Omnes, Si nomen iam nescis, in specu vives, verumtamen nomen mihi est Bo. duo milia passuum ambulavi ut huc veniam fabulamque optimam vobis narrem. Illud tamen est longius quam tempus quod habemus. Itaque modo fabor me natum esse ducem ludorum. Lingua latina in sexta classi inceptis, Ego optimam maximam linguam quintos miros annos didici atque in meo cordi teneo tempus communioni, tantum gaudium lato, redonare esse. posco ut te mihi censatis. Omnibus vobis gratias ago atque vivite Iongus et fortunate. If you don’t know my name by now, you are living in a hole, but my name is Bo. I have walked two thousand miles so that I could come here and tell you a fantastic story. However it is longer than we have time for. So I will just tell you that I was born to be sports commissioner. Since beginning Latin in sixth grade, I have taken the best and greatest language for five marvelous years and I believe it is time to give back to the community that has brought so much joy. Thank you all and live long and prosper.

Officers present: Nikky, Grace, Rachel, Ellie, Akshay

Waffle sale:

We would love to have our final waffle sale of the year in the coming weeks. A possible date is April 22nd which is a day 7 with F, G, Student life, break, A and then lunch. We need to get the forms out this week, make a flyer, and post in the school facebook group.

Seniors are in charge of helping with the banquet which will be on May 30th (Memorial Day), so we need to pick a theme. Magis says that a lot of latin students were in the talent show, and it would be fun to incorporate the Jazz band, the Circus club and more. Magis has decided to have a Circus Maximus theme. Maybe Alyssa can get a dance group. We could also have food eating contests and magic tricks.

If anyone would like to go to Nationals, there are $500 scholarships available.

If anyone is interested in a lecture by a Stanford professor in SF on a Tuesday, let Magis know.

We would be going to the restaurant Mozzarella De Boofa and the professor will be talking about the Amazon.

The freshman welcoming event is a great way to expose freshmen to the latin program. Ellie will be there to show off JCL.

There’s a movie coming out in August that’s a remake of a Ben Hur movie, and Magis thinks it would be fun to all organize an event to go see it together.

We did consul elections during meeting for Carla and Ellie.The remaining officer positions will be next Tuesday.

Today in our meeting we handed out awards from this year’s State Convention at Woodbridge High School. We had many winners including the scrapbook which won 3rd place. Ellie and Akshay will be joining the CJCL board next year, so congratulate them!

We also discussed the idea of having a zoo trip before June 11th, but since graduation is on June 10th and the trip to Italy leaves on the 11th, we will not be able to go on the trip. We are also in the midst of planning the end of year Latin banquet which will possibly be on Memorial Day. Stay tuned for more information on that event because Magis has to check with the Menlo schedule.

Additionally, we may be having another waffle sale depending on how our finances are doing.

Next year we may be hosting State Convention at Stanford if they will allow us to.
