PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

Fidem meam obligo

Vexillo Civitatium

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 civilizations of Greece and Rome

will help us understand and appraise this world of today,

which is indebted to 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 goals,

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 J-C-L 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.
