Perspective
State Convention The MassJCL convention was an amazing experience. This was my second year taking Latin, and by my first class in freshman year, I was instantly hooked. My Latin teacher, Ms. Engvall, made the class so fascinating. When I learned in my sophomore year that East Boston High School was going to have its own chapter of the JCL, I was ecstatic. Actually heading out to the convention was even more incredible. As I stepped into Sturbridge, all around me were so many people who welcomed our small Latin club with open arms--schools like BLA made this convention memorable. On the first night, we heard speeches from the candidates for the election. I found it intriguing how each chapter was a tiny democracy and had the power to vote. There was so much enthusiasm from the candidates, as shown by Jacob Hane and Tim Liu. Over the course of the coming days, we engaged in so many great activities. The gladiator fights were some of my favorite. So many other fun events were also held, such as the dance, arts and crafts, workshops, and a general opportunity to meet other JCLers! Because of the wonderful things to do, our school made a promotional video of our club! I really appreciate my two Latin club teachers, Ms. Envgall and Ms. Shanahan, for giving us the chance to attend. East Boston hopes to return next year!
