Salvete omnes! This year Abhinay Reddy and Charlie Hieb had the honor of cooperating as co-historians for Wisconsin. Although we were the ones to actually create this scrapbook, none of this would have been possible without the help of all our WJCL members sending in pictures and videos from all their Latin fun. This year's NJCL theme "Let us go singing all the way" made us think about how every person we met this year made our job so much easier and more rewarding. We hope this scrapbook reminds you of all the people who have made your journey through life a more enjoyable experience. We also hope you enjoy our fun facts on ancient instruments played during classical Latin times along with a few mythological figures associated with music. Gratias vobis agimus!

The cithara was very similar to the lyre, and there are many stories that say people were moved to tears by its music. It is said to be closely associated with Apollo and invented by Hermes.

Tympanum
The Tympanum resembled the current tambourine with a wooden frame surrounded by an animal frame on one side. The instrument has a special relation to Dionysus so it was commonly played at parties and displayed in art with Dionysus like the one on the right.

2022 State Convention After almost 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were fortunate enough to host a daylong in-person State convention! With this, the General Assembly brought much cheering and excitement from schools around Wisconsin. This also brought back the creative and funny roll calls.

Service Project The Cornu is named after the word for horn which relates to its shape and the fact it is worn around the player's body. The Cornu was used during parades to announce a famous person's arrival.

The Roman Tuba was a long bronze wind instrument that is very similar to the modern trumpet. Since it is only able to play notes in the harmonic series, it was most used in battle to announce movements and during games at the Colosseum.
