Latin Club Leaders

In the tradition of the Roman Republic, we will have two consuls who serve as student leaders of the MUS chapter of the Junior Classical League.  

Application procedure:

Anyone interested in serving in one of these two leadership positions should e-mail Mr. Sellers a brief statement (a paragraph or two) highlighting his qualifications and / or his vision for the club.  All of the Latin teachers will read these applications and then appoint the best two candidates accordingly.

Applications are due by the end of the school day on Monday, August 18.  

Eligibility requirements:

  • Must have attended at least two Festivuses and at least two TJCL conventions
  • Must be enrolled in either AP Latin or both semesters of the Advanced Readings in Latin course
  • Must attend the Festivus and the TJCL State Convention during the 2014-2015 school year (If there's a good chance that you might have a baseball or lacrosse conflict in the spring, for example, then you shouldn't apply.) 
Duties of the consuls:

  • Help with the Festivus and the TJCL State Convention
  • Show leadership to both Upper School and Lower School students
  • Plan the Saturnalia program
  • Carry out the MUS JCL community service project
  • Lead JCL meetings, as necessary
  • Help with planning events, T-shirts, magnets, etc.
  • Make announcements during Chapel
  • Perform any other duties assigned by the sponsors
We will either appoint or elect two additional lower-ranking officers after membership is finalized.
