We, the members of the Junior Classical League, covenant to hand on the
torch of classical civilization in the modern world. We believe an
acquaitance with the civilization 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.
