Latin Students Conquer Certamen
Earl L. Vandermeulen High School Latin students participated in a Latin certamen at the State University of New York at Stony Brook on April 8. The group competed against 13 other schools from across Long Island in the fast-paced contest. The certamen is designed to test student knowledge in the areas of Latin grammar, vocabulary, word derivations, Roman life, history, mythology and literature. The Port Jefferson Level Three team – Ginny Albinson, Eric Kilgore, Anita Rescia and Billy Witrock – and Advanced Level team – Leah Neiman, Chiara Repetti-Ludlow, Alberto Rescia and Kent Ueno – took first place in their respective levels.
