Fall Nuntius 2012

The Nuntius

Have you recently become overcome by a feel-ing of longing in your life? An inescapable yearning emanating from the future (October 27, to be exact) from between Venice and Pico Blvd. in downtown Los Angeles? You are not alone!

The cause of your strange affliction is well known to medical special-ists: SCRAM withdrawal! Yes, that aching in the marrow of your very bones can only be caused by your imminent attendance of SCRAM 2012 at Loyola High School. Don’t worry, there’s not much longer to wait.

SCRAM 2012 has some new features to offer this year in keeping with our theme: the Forum Loyolae.

Temples to the gods have been erected, complete with priestly portents, hairy har-uspices, and other worship-ful opportunities.

The Rostra is ready to host activities, auctions, and announcements. A Forum scavenger hunt has been included in your pro-gram to guide you through the sights and possibly earn you a prize. The triremes (i.e. inner tubes) are assem-bling in the pool for a great quinquennial Naumachia.

Even a Roman restroom will be provided for you photographic needs (and please use it only for a photo op...don’t be that guy).

All in all, you’ll be wondering how much we bribed Italy to let us borrow Roma for a day.

Of course, our SCRAM will also rest upon the age-old pillars of our beloved and hallowed JCL activities.

No SCRAM would be complete without open Certamen, academic tests, and, of course, a snack bar. Indeed, there shall be mu-sic! There shall be orations! There shall be art!

There shall be valiant spellings of the most confounding mythologi-cal names! And sports! So many sports (yes, Quid-ditch and Ping Pong count). So get psyched in your very psyche from SCRAM 2012 at Loyola!

It will be the best SCRAM all year, I guaran-tee it! u

Ludi Novembres will be taking place on November 17th at the Harker School. I am excited to be hosting the event at the campus for the third time.

Ludi will run from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. and will include popular activities such as im-promptu art, Certamen, and dramatic interpretation.

Furthermore, open sport competitions in soccer, bas-ketball, and the ever-famous quidditch will take place.

For the first time in Ludi history, a spirit competition will accompany the general assembly.

With a similar setting as the State Convention, schools will be shouting and scream-ing with pride to win recogni-tion and fabulous prizes.

Finally, teachers and university professors will be giving exciting workshops.

Some include the House of Atreus given by a Harker teacher, and a Certamen workshop hosted by a Harker student.

So everyone out there thinking about attending, we urge you to come and take part of Ludi.

Can’t wait to see you all there! u

Dragging myself up each morn-ing at 5:55 am, I grab my faithful MacBook Air. This metallic, elege-ntly carved piece of Apple ingenu-ity is my sole companion this early in the morning.

Snapping the top open, I quick-ly check the time, 5:57 am. I’ve got three more minutes to go before I start school. Throwing on my glasses and throwing off my blan-ket, I grab my well-worn Latin textbook and notebook. Scram-bling frantically I search for a pen, a pencil, a highlighter, or any writ-ing utensil.

5:59 am. Oh no! Class starts at 6:00 am! Rushing back to my laptop, I open Firefox, click on a bookmark called “Centra.” I login to my account, firing off numbers

and letters as if my life depended on it.

I click on the first link in the list, “launch on desktop,” and A small red icon with a white whirlwind pops up on my toolbar. One sec-ond later, I hear my magistra say, “Welcome everybody! Lets begin class!”

I’m on time. This may seem ludicrious, that

I could be on time to my AP Vergil class only 5 minutes after waking up, and spending the majority of the time running like a madman looking for all my books, like any good, sleep-deprived, junior should do, but completely true.

I attend Stanford Online High School, also known as OHS by its

students.You may have already

deduced that from the word “Online,” in the name that OHS is no regular school.

OHS is a high school from which a student can gradu-ate from, like any other high school, but classes are held online in an in-ternet conference sys-tem called Centra, which allows stu-dents and teachers to interact through video and chat. Think of it as Skype.

I’ve been taking Latin at OHS for three years now, and there are sev-eral noted differences I’ve found from conventional Lat-in classes.

Firstly, its all on you. Homework is submitted on-line, and there is no constant

reminder of tests or quiz-zes. Much of the work has to be done on your own time. Teachers don’t always check that you have done it all.

Secondly, tests are not ad-ministered by teachers. As my AP Vergil teacher lives on the East Coast, along with almost

the entirety of my class, thus my early wake-up time, it wouldn’t make

much sense for me to fly to Cambridge, M a s s a c h u s e t t s each time I need-

ed to take an exam. Instead, qualified

proctors are regis-tered with the school,

and administer the test in a teacher’s stead.

Additionally, interacting with peers is a bit of a chal-lenge, since one can usually only visualize them from a camera.

But that doesn’t mean we

don’t get to know each other well. Lively conversations in text cha t and virtual white-board collaboration allow us to interact with relative ease and harmony.

There are also noted ad-vantages to take the course online. For one, I can go to class without ever getting out of bed.

Believe me, at 5:50 am, you won’t want to move, especial-ly during winter.

Also, it allows a wide range of students to have ac-cess to classes which they normally wouldn’t have. While I do attend OHS, my primary source of schooling is an actual, physical school, called a “brick-and-mortar” school.

However, my public school does not offer Latin, which I had started at a pri-vate middle school.

I didn’t want to have to

give up this wonderful lan-guage, so the only option was to find another way, outside of school.

OHS gave me that oppor-tunity. Because it is an online course, and classes can be at-tended through a computer, I was able to fit it into my schedule outside of school, without having to deal with long car rides and other in-conveniences.

It is a great option for stu-dents who wis to continue or begin Latin, if their main school does not provide a Latin or Classics curriculum. And trust me, we learn all the same things you would in a conventional classroom.

Just try not to fall asleep during lecture, because the teacher will still catch you, miles away or not. u

TECH A convenient alternative to classic classes

SCHOOL

The 2012 National Junior Classical League Convention at Wake Forest, University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina was truly an unforgettable week, especially for the Cali-fornia delegates in attendance. The 27 California delegates, five sponsors, and one chap-erone held their own among the 1,600 or so Classic students from 31 states and one Ca-nadian province. Togas were not optional for the delegates, chaperones, and sponsors in attendance; they were mandatory. This set the stage for an incredible experience for all those spending a Classics-filled week at the 2012 National Convention.

The California delegates participated in all aspects of the convention. They competed in sports ranging from kickball to ultimate Frisbee. They got up early each morning to take an array of different tests. They cheered their hearts out during the daily spirit competi-tions, wearing crazy spirit props like mustaches and Disney Cars cone-hats. They attend-ed engaging workshops, one of which even included a life-size catapult! They attended the nightly Bazaar and dance. Overall, the California delegates made a great use of their time at Convention, participating in all of the offered activities and sharing their love of the Classics with students from different states. Brandon Kim of Loyola High School in southern California states the experience as “Amazing, because you get to put aside your interstate rivalries and team up to compete against other states. You also get to make new friends on the state and national levels.”

The three California Certamen teams made a great showing against the other Certamen teams form all over the nation. Our Intermediate Team took 9th place overall, and our Ad-vanced Level team took 8th. John Hawley of Harker in Northern California aptly trained both teams. In addition, many California delegates partook in Open Certamen, which

College Board updates AP Vergil CourseAs many of you know, the College Board has decided to

alter and update the AP Vergil exam this year. Whereas in previous years, the only book that was tested

upon was Vergil’s Aeneid; this year, Julius Caesar’s Gallic War, is also being tested.

Furthermore, there is a larger emphasis on sight-reading, with passages that are not required reading list for the AP syl-labus and may be from a variety of different authors.

After intensive and difficult few hours of reading of the new AP Latin Curriculum Framework, which is posted on the Col-lege Board website, should any inquiring student wish to see what they are up against this or future school years, I, have decided to place before you my humble opinions on these re-visions.

These are purely my own views and takes on the new Col-lege Board policies and curriculums.

Why the revisions? Firstly, the most pressing and obvious change

is the addition of Caesar’s Gallic War. So why the change? According to the College Board, it possesses

“pure and straightforward Latinity and...historical interest, as it engages with controversial issues of war

and peace, empire, ethnicity, leadership and the roles and purposes of historiography.”

Now what the heck does that mean? I didn’t even know what some of those words meant the first time I read it. Please, stop speaking in Greek, we’re Latin students for Zeus’ sake!

Translating Latin to English is difficult enough, but trans-lating this alien language is even more difficult, but in simple English: the Commentarii de Bello Gallico (Use the right name at least College Board!), is a good example of Latin prose and is interesting for students to read, because of the significant social issues of the time which it reflects.

Furthermore, the addition of the Gallic War, into the curricu-lum is thought to further meet the Standards for Classical Lan-g u a g e Learning, set by the Amer-i c a n Class i ca l L e a g u e (ACL).

There are five goals in the stan-d a r d s , as stated by the ACL are commu- n i c a t i o n , culture, c o n n e c -tion, comparison, and communities.

The Gallic War, contributes to all five, and broadens the stu-dent knowledge in all the categories, as it offers a different cul-tural aspect from the poetry of Vergil because it was written in a different time, and setting, with a different perspective from that of a Vergil.

Caesar portrays the troubles of Rome with reality. Vergil chooses to speak in aphorisms, speaking from the

view of one who has not experienced many of the events which he wrote about.

A divide of prose and poetry, romanticism and practicality.

How much more or less work? Now that the problem of why is out of the way, the question

of how the College Board modified the course arises. In order to insert the Gallic War, into the curriculum, the

College Board has opted to cut numerous lines out from the Aeneid.

I have taking the time to calculate exactly how many lines total students must learn this year, in comparison to years past.

Originally it was 1,856 lines of pure Aeneid, now it is 844 lines from the Aeneid, and 52 chapters of the Gallic War.

Effects on students and teachersIt is about the same workload, simply more variety and

depth, which is why the College Board decided to modify the curriculum. So how have these changes affected students and teachers?

For my class, it means that one semester is devoted sole-ly to the Aeneid and the other is devoted to the Gallic War. While I don’t have any qualms with this arrangement, I find that switching between prose and poetry could be difficult for students, and there is the increased burden of having to know the entire story of both the Aeneid and the Gallic War.

Another hassle is that all the former AP Vergil preparation books, which were already sparse to begin with, can no longer be used.

New textbooks and reference materials must also be bought, inconveniencing teachers and students alike.

However, whether these changes are for the better or for the worse cannot be determined until this year is over and AP ex-ams are in. u


There are five goals in the standards, as stated by the ACL are communication, culture, connection, compar-ison, and communities.

bolchazy.combarnesandnoble.comThese are two possible choices for students taking AP Vergil. The Caesar textbook is a new addition to the AP curriculum.


Californian superstars!continued from page 4

Dobbie Vasquez of Menlo High School, in Northern California wrote the questions.

Ms. Vasquez along with Kyle Smith of the Willows School in Southern California ran Open Certamen with the help of many California dele-gates.

In the field of academics, California took home many prizes. Clark Pang from Mira-monte High School in North-ern California won first place in Overall Academics. Clark, having just complete Latin 3, beat other students from all over the nation who had com-pleted Latin levels 4-6! Many other California delegates also took home multiple ac-ademic awards. In addition, Frederick Muth of Loyola High School in Southern Cal-ifornia took first place in the Academic Decathlon!

California JCL attendees also made a splash in Creative Arts. Many earned awards for their excellence in the areas of Dramatic Interpretation, cos-tume competition, modern myth, essay contest, Latin Or-atory, sight Latin poetry, and others. Some also entered into the Graphic Arts competition where they placed among the top in the nation in their re-spective categories.

Under the category of

school a w a rd s ,

two schools in California

should be commended for their hard work. Woodbridge High School in Southern Cal-ifornia took first in publicity for new schools and second in publicity overall.

Woodbridge also earned fourth for their local publica-tion. Miramonte High School in Southern California took first in publicity. Yet, Nation-als was not all about compe-tition.

The California delegates had a blast at That’s Enter-tainment, watching talent-ed students get up on stage and share their gifts in forms ranging from music, to acting, and everything in between.

They attended S t a t e F e l -l o w s h i p each evening to recap the day’s events and to look forward to the events of the upcom-ing day with enthusiasm. The three current 2012-2013 California Junior Classical League board members in at-tendance at Convention went to the State Officer’s dinner and workshop.

Here, they were able to meet other officers from the different states and got the opportunity to swap ideas with them, as well as with the NJCL board officers.

Elisabeth Siegel of Harker Middle School in Northern California sums Nationals up as being “Really involved and

re -ally, really

fun.”The California delegates

met new friends from across the nation, giving them even more reasons to attend the next National Convention in 2013 at the University of Ne-vada, Las Vegas.

Despite exhaustion, fierce heat, and Classic overload, the California delegates had an amazing time and left a lasting impression on the 2012 National Junior Clas-sical League Convention at Wake-Forest University. u

With both SCRAM and Ludi Novembres rapidly ap-proaching, California JCLers may be unable to believe that the CAJCL convention information is already up on the net. Ryan Lee, the Convention president, has been diligent in his efforts for planning the state conven-tion.

This year’s state conven-tion will be held at Sage Hill High School in Newport Beach. There are two themed quotes this year, “cura diem ut donum,” Watch over your day as if a gift,” and “quid sit futurum eras, fuge quaerere, et quem fors dierum cumque dabit, lucro appone,” Cease

to inquire what the future has in store and take as a gift whatever the day brings forth. Both are from Hor-ace. The overarching theme can be thought as “Beware the Ides of March,” as the convention will take place on March 15th to the 16th.

Several events at the con-vention will be a Giant Jenga Mythology Jeopardy compe-tition, rocket photo booths at the dance, an ancient agora activity center, a magician during the banquet and Firestone grill and In-n-out for meals.

The banquet will take place at the Orange County Fair Grounds.

Students are encouraged to like the 2013 CAJCL State Convention at Sage Hill page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/SageHillState-Convention), in order to re-ceive periodic updates about the latest convention news.

Also, there is a website for the state convention at http://www.bewaretheides.net. Both links will provide students with more informa-tion about the upcoming convention.

On the official website, there is information about recommended hotels in the area to reserve, as well as transportation and parking instructions.

Due to the small size of the Sage Hill High School, they will be unable to ac-comodate the school buses which formerly carried students to conventions in previous years.

Instead, there will likely be a shuttle system to and from the school campus and nearby parking lots.

There are also polls online for students to take, which will allow the organizers determine what will happen at convention. If you wish to make your voice heard, this is your chance to do so. u

November 2012 won’t be exactly easy, but with discipline and perseverance you can make it fruitful.Mercury, the rul-er of Aries’ house of work, will be retrograde for most of the interval, drawing attention on some problems that require further analysis, maybe even a new approach or evaluation.

The issues troubling you will be related to money, stud-ies, culture, long-distance work relationships or trips.

ARIES

The second part of November 2012 (and particularly the last decanate) will bring clarification and decisions. Prob-lems will be discussed seriously and firmly, and in some cases, even tough. It’s as if you’re finally cutting to the chase after weeks of attempts and worries.

Restlessness and stress tend to affect you especially in the first part of November 2012.

CANCER

You have an important, though not at all easy month. There are, nevertheless, enough resources for success and since you don’t panic in front of hardships, you’ll take the challenge and make the most of this period.

Most probably you’ll end up with some extra tasks. But, although burdening, they will be tasks that will honor you, which will give you the strength to carry them out.

SCORPIO

You’ll find it somehow difficult to choose and to focus. Set your priorities so that you don’t waste your strength!

Keeping in good health or managing various ailments will be favored by information and communication. Read-ing or speaking about what’s bothering you you’ll find a solution more easily.

Trips could have something to do with health.

VIRGO

In the first part of November 2012 you’ll focus on your re-sources in order to get ready. With Mars by your side, you’ll show your talents very convincingly, very passionately, while the creative spirit will be full of strength and effer-vescence. Determination, ambition, the need to prove some-thing will generate a tougher, more rigid, more straightfor-ward attitude.It would be to your own good if you showed more flexibility.

LEO

You’ll be on an upwards track. You’ll be very determined, you’ll mobilize yourself very well, you’ll accept challenges, you’ll fight. November 2012 will be a competitive month, when you’ll have something to prove, you’ll take responsi-bility for your fate and you’ll show your strength.

PISCES

Gemini’s house of work will also be very cramped. More responsibilities, pretty big efforts, problems that need to be solved, troubles and delays are all foreseen.

Work relationships will be very important, regardless if it’s about interactions with colleagues, collaboration and associations.

GEMINI

Collaboration and partnerships will bear special im-portance in November 2012. However, even if profes-sional relationships will be slightly more peaceful than personal ones, the former will also bear important sig-nificance.

You’re rather far from a top shape, but in the first two decanates of November 2012 Venus will assist you in any medical, beauty or body care procedure.

TAURUS

The second period of November 2012 and especially the last decanate will induce stress. The interval 17th - 22nd November 2012 can be looked at as transitory, but the period beyond the 22nd is foreseen as tough, diffi-cult. Beware!

LIBRA

You’ll be in a good shape, you’ll have energy and work capacity and you’ll have high morale.

You’ll do well, generally speaking, but try to avoid being imprudent, because Mars will be in a position en-abling it to charge any risk or excess!

In the second part of November 2012 you’re particu-larly recommended to exercise physically and to avoid conflicts.

CAPRICORN

In the first part of November 2012 you’ll take an all-out attitude and get ready for great deeds. You want to prove what you’re capable of, but you’ll miss coordination and you might direct your actions wrongly. On the other hand, you’ll be very well with relationships: you’ll collaborate enthusiastically, you’ll manage to gather everybody and form a team. In the last decanate of November 2012 you’ll focus on objectives better. Success will start to foreshadow.

SAGGITARIUS

November 2012 will be favorable to career, success and promotion. The Sun will be in your house of social-professional status, a sign of authority, prestige and en-hanced influence. This position of the Sun will place you at the center of attention, will highlight your personality and qualities, but beware!, it’ll force you to live up to the expectations and make sure you deserve the respect and appreciation you’ll be shown.

means that hopefully, you enjoyed this humble newsletter of mine. However, as you may be able to conclude, many stories are written by me or my fellow board members.

The Nuntius wants you, readers, to contribute to this newsletter with any Latin or JCL related stories you may have. If you have any questions or wish to submit an entry, simply shoot an email to [email protected], and I will promptly get back to you on any questions you have.

As added incentive to contributing to the Nuntius, the board has considered giving schools publicity points for submitting and/or hav-ing articles from students in their school published the Nuntius. This is purely speculative at this point, but if you want to gain publicity points for your school in the State competition, if enough interest is raised, I will bring the idea back up to the board for discussion during the next CAJCL board meeting.

Pictures of local school JCL activities or other Roman/Latin/Greek/Classics related items or miscellanea will also be gladly accepted, and who doesn’t want to see themselves in a publication?

If there are any corrections which you see in the newsletter, please also shoot me an email and I will make note of a correction in future issues.

Once again, thanks for reading and salvete omnes!
