The CAMWS contest will be administered in the Wunderlich Auditorium tomorrow afternoon (Wednesday, November 29). We will begin testing at 2:30 PM. Students should bring writing utensils and completed answer sheets (uncrumpled, unfolded, unstapled).
This is required for all Upper School Latin students.
The best way to prepare is to study the Dickinson College vocabulary list.

CAMWS Latin Translation Contest
The Classical Association of the Middle West and South Latin Translation Contest is scheduled for Wednesday, November 29 from 2:30 to 3:30 PM in the Wunderlich Auditorium. Participation is required for all Upper School Latin students. (Lower School students are not eligible to participate.)
Unlike the National Latin Exam or the Advanced Placement Latin Exam, the CAMWS competition tests general proficiency in Latin by means of a single sight translation passage. There is not, therefore, a specific list of items to study. However, students can prepare for the contest by studying the official vocabulary list and by examining the passages used in previous years.
