## Caption

The New Trier High School Latin Club earned first place at the Illinois State Certamen competition on April 15 after a season of rigorous preparation and academic teamwork.

Certamen literally means “competition” in Latin, but to the competition’s participants, it represents a kind of classics-themed Jeopardy. Like the famed TV show, competitors must buzz in to answer a question posed by the judges, but unlike Jeopardy, the answer isn’t required to be in question form. 

However, the biggest difference is the hyper-specific yet broad scope of knowledge of the Latin language, classical civilization and history, and mythology, which must all be memorized and processed in a high-pressure environment.

Features Editor David Rhee wrote the story.
