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.
