LG: What is the Latin Cub?
NG: The Latin Club is a club (obviously) that focuses on Roman and Latin culture. We do different activities such as making Roman snacks out of chocolate. We also go on field trips. In November we are going on a field trip to the Metropolitan museum in New York City. Also, in the spring we will be going on a field trip to Latin Day in Holiday Hill where we walk around and just have a good time.
LG: What are the goals of Latin Club?
NG: Just to spread awareness of the language of Latin and to have fun with it. It’s a ton of fun being in the club and being creative with what we do. Plus, who doesn’t like making chocolate snacks?
LG: What is your current membership and how are you going to try and get more members?
NG: Last meeting we got around 14 people to show up, which is what we look to maintain throughout the year. We try to get more people by just advertising in different areas. We try to get our tweets retweeted by the Advocate, and Anish (Sikhnam) and I will be making posters for the club soon.
LG: What is the correlation between this club and the Latin classes in school?
NG: In Latin class you learn the language by learning about the Roman culture. The Latin Club kind of takes that and flips it on its head. You mainly focus on Roman culture by learning bits and pieces of Latin and doing fun activities.
LG: Why should people join Latin Club?
NG: It’s a ton of fun. We do field trips to different places, and the activities such as making snacks are fun as well. Plus, doing the Latin Club goes on your college transcript, which helps you get into good colleges.
