EDITOR'S NOTE Salvete Omnes! Just like that, another State Convention has come and gone. This year's gathering was amazing. Like all conventions, it had its ups and downs (the final GA is always a bit depressing), but I wouldn't trade my time at convention for anything in the world. I would like to extend my gratitude to our two amazing sponsors, Mrs. Osier and Mrs. Twetten, for all that they have done. I can't describe how incredibly proud I am of our delegation. In this edition of the Quinque Stellae, you will find some of this convention's highlights, statements from your fellow JCLers, and photos taken by Historians Amanda Roessler and Reena Singhal. Finally, I would like to introduce Eddie Kustner as our club's new Spirit Officer, Emma Canga as our new Parliamentarian, and Isabella Toledo as our new Historian. ab imo pectore, Nicholas Chang BAJCL Editor and Technology Coordinator

CONVENTION RECAP - BELLA TOLEDO STATE LATIN CONVENTION WAS NOTHING LIKE I WAS EXPECTING IT TO BE. IT HAD SUCH A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND FRIEND-SHIP. THE MULTIPLE TESTS WERE WORTH IT FOR THE UNFOR-GETTABLE MOMENTS I HAD AT THINGS LIKE SPIRIT, THE DANCE, CER- BA CERTAMEN PLAYERS POSE WITH IN FRONT OF THE TAMEN, AND WATCHING THE OFFICERS GET A PIE PLAYERS FROM MUHSCAPITOL BUILDING. THROWN AT THEIR FACES. THE EMOTIONAL SPEECHES MADE ME DREAD THE THOUGHT OF BEING A SENIOR AND GRATEFUL THAT I WOULD STILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THREE MORE CONVEN-TIONS. OVERALL, CONVENTION WAS ONE OF THE BEST ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE AND A HIGHLIGHT OF MY YEAR.
