Obligatio Vexillo

Fidem meam obligo vexillo Civitatum Americae Foederatarum et Rei Publicae, pro qua stat, uni nationi,

Deo ducente, non dividendae, cum libertate iustitiaque omnibus.

JCL 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 civilization of

Greece and Rome will help us understand and

appraise this 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.

JCL Song

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.
