JCL Song
Seeking to learn, with wisdom our goal,
Looking for lessons through stories of old.
​
Searching the realms of the ancient past,
We study the classics' works so vast.
​
In knowledge, service, and fellowship, we're growing everyday
The friendly hand of J C L aids in every way.
​
We'll join our arms and sing along
With every dear colleague.
​
And forever we'll hold to the Purple and Gold,
of the Junior Classical League.
