                        CJCL Creed   
                        We, the members of the Junior Classical League, covenant
                        to hand on the torch of classical civilization in the
                        modern world. We believe an acquaintance with the
                        civilizations of Greece and Rome will help us understand
                        and appraise the world of today, which is indebted to
                        the ancient civilization in its government and laws,
                        literature, language, and arts.   We affirm the JCL experience develops responsibility,
                        fosters brotherhood, promotes enthusiasm, encourages
                        competition, inspires dedication, and enriches our total
                        growth.   CJCL Song   "The Purple and Gold"  Seeking the best, the highest our goal, working for greatness through glories of old, searching the realms of the golden past, we follow the classics truths that last.   
                        In knowledge, truth, and fellowship we're growing every day; the friendly hand of JCL aids in every way. In Rome's proud steps we're marching on with every true colleague, and forever we'll hold to the Purple and Gold of the Junior Classical League. |
