Vermont Classical Language Association Meeting Friday October 21, 2005
- This year’s VCLA Meeting was held October 22, 2004 at Burlington High School and hosted by Nora Cartier, this year’s President. In the morning, Mary Ann Chaffee reflected on the joys and rewards of teaching High School Latin for the last 38 years. Mary Ann retires this year from Essex Junction, but you wouldn’t know it: her energy is as infectious as ever. Later that afternoon, Mark Southern, a recently-arrived assistant professor of German, Linguistics and Classics at Middlebury College, gave a talk entitled “From epea pteroenta to patrii sermonis egestas: Greek and Latin and How They Got That Way.”The Latin Swap Shop, now a traditional part of every VCLA meeting, was a chance to compare notes on teaching materials and techniques
- This year's Annual VCLA Meeting was held, October 24, 2003 amidst delicious Roman goodies at Burlington High School. There was continued discussion about the roles of each of the officers of VCLA. It was agreed that for 2004 the theme would be "Greek Tragedy from the Roman Perspective." The theme for 2005 would be "Works of Art, Literature, and Music Inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses"; for 2006, "De Re Agricultura."
- This year's VCLA Meeting was held, October 25, 2002‹a glorious sunny day‹at the Montpelier High School Library.
