Classics Club members practice for Certamen
February 6, 2009
Do you enjoy studying Roman history? Mythology? Latin? If you answered yes to any of those, join East’s Classics Club.
In this after-school haven for Latin lovers, students try a variety of questions relating to anything from Julius Caesar’s death to the story of Arachne.
There is a no-pressure atmosphere in Classics Club, but it does involve a lot of competition. Students race each other in a “quiz” and put their knowledge to the test. Its members are currently practicing for Certamen, a Latin-based quiz-bowl style competition.
