| At
the first Latin Club meeting of the year, Luckenbach, the
incoming sophomores get a chance to meet the upperclassmen
and get to know them as everyone plays games and drinks root
beer. At Luckenbach, officers and others dress up in their
cowboy outfits. At most meetings Latin Clubbers have the chance
and are encouraged to dress up. |
| At
the Video Scavenger Hunt, Latin Clubbers drive around town
in teams and try to complete a scavenger hunt, while recording
it on a video camera. This event is fast paced and is very
entertaining when the time comes to watch the videos. |
| The
Halloween Party is traditionally held at Mrs. Srader's house.
During this Latin Club event, students dress up in their Halloween
costumes and go through a haunted house. The officers create
the haunted house and work in it to scare the others. A best
costume award is given out here as well, so most people dress
up to join the fun. |
| The
Progressive Dinner is a meal that consists of 4 courses held
at 4 different houses throughout San Angelo. Students travel
from house to house eating, conversing, and having a good
time. The first course is appetizers, the second is salads,
the third is the main course, and the last course is dessert. |
|
The Secret Santa is another Latin Club event normally held
at Mrs. Srader's lovely home. Before the event, during class,
Latin Clubbers fill out an information sheet describing themselves
and what they like, so their Secret Santa will know what kind
of gift to get them. Then each person draws a name from a
hat to determine who they will be a Secret Santa for. During
the event, a gift exchange is held, and the Secret Santas
reveal themselves. |
| At
the Hay Ride, Latin Clubbers join together in the frigid cold
of January, and ride through the neighborhoods of San Angelo
on a hay ride. This event also consists of roasting marshmallows,
eating hot dogs, and singing songs. |
| This
Latin Club meeting is a favorite among Latin Clubbers. The
Latin crew meets up in March and spends the evening bowling
and just having a good time. |
 |
| This
Latin Club event was created this year and had dramatic success.
At this meeting, Latin Clubbers dress up in their nicest togas
and compete in a series of events that test the mind and the
body. The first event is Latin Trivia. The competitors are
asked a series of questions about Greek mythology. If they
answered incorrectly they recieve a pie in the face. The next
event is the Chariot Races. In this event a person is pulled
on a "chariot" by two others. The final event is
the "Battle of Troy." The seniors, juniors, and
sophomores are given water guns, floating noodles, and splash
bombs to duel with. The seniors battle against the juniors
and sophomores in a fun and exciting water fight. An award
for the best toga is also given out. This meeting is the most
important meeting of the year because here the candidates
for next year's officers give speeches explaining why they
would be a good officer and why people should vote for them.
Also at this meeting the "Gag" Awards are voted
on. These awards vary from the "Best Cheater" to
the "Best Whiner." The winners are announced at
the Latin Club Banquet in May. |
 |
The
Banquet is the final event of the year for Latin Club. We
have this event to celebrate the great year and to honor
the officers. The club says goodbye to the current officers
and welcomes the new officers of the upcoming year. As sad
as this evening of goodbyes is for the seniors, the presentation
of the "Gag" Awards keeps everyone laughing. Also
during the banquet, the current officers present Mrs. Srader
with a gift to thank her for all the hard work she does
for not only Latin Clubbers, but Latin at Central High School
in general.
