The Purple and Gold
(JCL Song)
Dave Clements, Max Spires, Mrs. R. G. Frazier
Revised by Mrs. B. H. Norveso
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 everyday
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!
MDJCL 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!
