TT he 47th annual NJCL Convention at the U n i v e r s i t y o f Oklahoma in Norman

proved to be a fulfilling end to the summer for classics enthusiasts from across the state, as well as the country. Fulfilling in, well, more way than one. To satisfy the knowledge cravings of the Tennessee delegation, the convention was equipped with seminars and workshops. One such event featured our own state Co-

Chairs, Mrs. Edmondson and Mr. Long, who led an exchange of ideas for sp i c i ng up s ta te conventions. Then, to sa t is fy the TJCL delegation’s hunger, were the University of Oklahoma’s cafeteria and a conveniently located Papa John’s, which was hit heavily during the course of the week. To close out each

day, the Tennessee delegation met in state fellowship, which was graced with more food for TJCLers to consume (i.e., cakes). Then

there was the adrenaline urge. That too was satisfied by the N J C L C o n v e n t i o n a s Tennessee competed with such states as Texas and the host state of Oklahoma for a

chance at a spirit award. If it weren’t enough to hear hundreds of JCLers screaming at the top of their lungs (and inevitably losing their voices), you could attend a round of competitive Certamen. Lastly, to fulfill the TJCLers inner desire for personal glory and to refute the Y2K concerns, there was the awards assembly on the eve of the closing of the convention, during which “of Tennessee” rung out several times. The contest results can be found on the following pages. In the end, though, all of the delegates had a great time meeting new classics fans

Mark Ramdarass is a man of many talents. All of which were clearly shown to the TJCL delegates at Norman. On the stage Mark performed in the SCL talent show, “That’s Entertainment”—combining a beat with a chorus in a single breath. Mark also placed in many art contests, where he proved his artistic abilities beyond a reasonable doubt. If that weren’t enough for us to think Mark “the man”— he also designed the state T-shirt (worn on State T-shirt day), which illustrates the convention theme: “Each man is the architect of his own fate”. He picked up a $50 check from the TJCL for his work. In addition, the shirt won first place in the T-shirt contest against all other states. Congratulations, Mark!

There were other awards (other than ribbons, that is) given at the NJCL Convention in Norman. One such award (given by the state Co-Chairs at fellowship) called for the recipient to exhibit special skills; thus it was called the “I Am Special” award. Such “special” skills were displayed by Calen Verbist from Clarksville. Calen possessed the furtive qualities of a velociraptor at various times during the convention. While in his special state of mind, Calen gained speed, power, and agility to attack fellow unsuspecting and helpless JCLers. On one such o c c a s i o n , Calen jumped from the bushes onto an unsuspecting TJCLer, only to rouse discussion about his feats at fellowship. Congratulations on

It’s never too early to start thinking about the next TJCL Convention. The convention for the year 2001 (the first year of the new millennium) will be held at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. If you missed National Convention or the last TJCL Convention, be sure you don’t miss this one. The events will include academic, Olympic, creative, and graphic contests. The theme will be Vultus ac frons animi ianua (“The face and its appearance are a doorway to the soul”). For more information as it becomes available, check out www.tjcl.org — the official website of the Tennessee Junior Classical League. Also look for convention updates in the upcoming issues of the Torch.

TJCL.org Update The Tennessee Junior Classical has continued to spread its presence onto the Internet. The first step in this process, as some of you have already noticed, was buying our own domain name. As reported in the last publication of the Torch, the TJCL website can now be found at: http://www.tjcl.org . A second and more time-consuming step consisted of redesigning the site to a more contemporary version as well as one that could be entered in the National Junior Classical League’s annual website contest. While the second phase is still underway, be sure to check out all the great information that is available from the TJCL website. Allow me to give you a brief overview of what is available on-line. TJCL Information - In this section you will find all of the official information from the TJCL. Examples would include the JCL creed and song, as well as the objectives of the TJCL and the TJCL Constitution. Executive Board - Board Members, this section is for you. If you are having trouble finding your Torch, check out the contact page to get in touch with the TJCL officers and Area Sponsors. Also, check out information on the Fall Planning Meeting. TJCL Convention - Here you will find all of the information about state convention as well as the previous convention’s results. NJCL Convention - See the TJCL results from national competition. This section also includes information about next year’s convention. TN Torch On-line - The state publication on the web! Find the most recent edition, as well as archived editions and an on-line poll (explained at right). Local Chapters - Chapters on the web, plus local news. Submit your reports on-line!

- TJCL Webmaster Adam Groves

Clash of the Titans: An On-line Poll Well, I guess you are wondering what all this on-line poll talk is about. Allow me to explain. With each publication of the Torch, a question will be asked, such as this publication’s question (listed below). After reading the question and possible responses, go to TJCL.org, the official site of the Tennessee Junior Classical League, and click on “On-line Poll” in the “Torch On-line” section. Vote for your favorite choice and then tell all your friends to do the same. You don’t have to be a member of the TJCL to vote. The results of the poll will be posted in the following issue of the Torch (e.g., the results to this issue will appear in the February Torch). So, without further ado, here is this issue’s question: When you hear “titan,” what is the

first thing that comes to mind?

A) Cronus and the gang B) Eddie George and the gang C) The big boat at the bottom of the sea

The Tennessee Torch

Does anyone recognize the name Jean Kim? I know I sure do. Jean attends Hume-Fogg Academic Magnet School and is a former TJCL parliamentarian. Honorably, she took it upon herself to run for the national office of parliamentarian this summer at the convention in Norman. The entire Tennessee delegation knew that the job of campaigning was going to be monumental. Anyone who had attended a national convention before knew that any crack in the wall or spot on the ceiling was fair game for campaign material. Even so , the Tennessee delegation dubbed Jean “our hero” and decided to help her out. Every spare sidewalk block was etched in sidewalk chalk with the words: “Vote Jean for Parliamentarian”. After the extensive campaigning and an excellent speech given at candidates’ open forum, we were all sure that the Tennessee delegate would have a clear shot at the position. We were all eager to hear the results. We were all shocked when the 2000 NJCL Parliamentarian said that there was no majority of the vote for either candidate. As shocked as the delegation was, it was the truth, and according to an article in the national constitution, the new executive board would meet and decide on a candidate who was appropriate to fill the vacancy. The new executive board found valor in Jean Kim and appointed her to the vacancy. After all of the emotion, Jean Kim was our new national parliamentarian! Congratulations, Jean!

Every year the Mildred Sterling Award is given to a longtime convention attendee who displays excellence, dedication and spirit in the Junior Classical League. The award is named for Mildred Sterling, a Texas teacher, who up through 1996 had attended every National Convention including the original planning meeting. This year, the award was bestowed upon Mr. Grady Warren by national committee members (and former students) J im O’Nei l (Technology Chair) and Ed Long (Certamen Chair). Mr. Warren has attended thir ty- three National Conventions and continues to illustrate his excellence through his students at Northeast High School in

Medusa Mythology Exam 2001 Supporting Classics Education

The Medusa Mythology Exam Committee is proud to announce its sponsorship of the fifth annual “Medusa Mythology Examination.” The exam is available to all students of Latin and Greek in grades 9-12. The Medusa was developed in order to allow those talented in mythology an opportunity to excel and be recognized. Another aim is to increase Classics students’ exposure to mythology. The Medusa is composed of 50 multiple choice questions. The Medusa Exam Committee, a team of nine professors, teachers, and students, will design the syllabus and questions for the exam. In addition, a panel of esteemed teachers will review the initial copy of the exam to ensure its complete mythological accuracy. The Medusa Exam Committee will then review the final copy of the exam. The theme of this year’s exam is “Monsters, Beasts, & Creatures.” Sources include the ancient world authors of Apollodorus, Homer, Ovid, and Virgil, and modern works such as Hamilton’s Mythology, Bulfinch’s Age of Fable, and Mark Morford’s Classical Mythology. Top achievers on the exam will receive certificates, and medals imported from Italy. Our highest-scoring participant will be able to apply for several cash prizes to assist with educational expenses. The Medusa has been approved by the Contests & Activities Cmte of the Nat’l Association of Secondary School Principals.

Fees for the Medusa are $2.00 per student plus a $15 school fee. Financial aid is available as necessary. The exam will be administered during the week of 2-6 April 2001 (choose one day; we work around spring break conflicts) and all scores and awards will be returned to the test-taking school soon after they are received and processed, in time for awards assemblies. Registration packets will be available from 1 December 2000 through 1 March 2001. Interested parties are encouraged to download their registration materials, but may also contact the Medusa Exam Committee:
