Terre Haute South students John Ryan, Sangeeth Jeevan, and Anthony Nicoson competed in the Indiana Junior Classical League State Convention on March 13 and 14 at Indiana University with their sponsor, Mary Steppe.
Students from 15 high schools participated in academic and artistic competitions. Terre Haute South won first place in the Effie Douglas Membership Award for the greatest increase in membership in Latin Club. Ryan took fourth in mythology and vocabulary, and pentathlon. Jeevan captured first in English Oratory with Ryan taking second. Together, Jeevan and Ryan finished in fourth place in Certamen, an event similar to “Jeopardy!”
After academic competition, Ryan and Nicoson raised money for the scholarship fund in the Rent-a-Roman program. Also, Ryan was the SV delegate to the general assembly. Kit Gambill’s South Latin club scrapbook finished in fifth place. For “That’s Entertainment,” Jeevan and Ryan performed a rap about the first six books of the Aeneid to the applause of IJCL members in assembly hall.
South is a member of Indiana (and National) Junior Classic League.
