Salvete Fellow Classy-
Classicists,
First Chickpea of the year! Get
excited! We are Ahmed and
Alicia, the editors of the Chick-
pea in your hands right this very
second. To those of you who
are new to Latin or the JCL, the
Chickpea is our monthly news-
letter, a way to stay connected,
and something fun to read
when Latin class gets really bor-
ing. Our goal is to get at least
one Chickpea out each and eve-
ry month of the hectic school
year. In order for us to be able
to accomplish our goal, we
need your help! Please don’t
hesitate to give us any articles,
Volk and Strand quotes, pic-
tures, suggestions, etc. There is
an orange folder in the Latin
room, our emails are listed on a
following page, and if you’d like
to text us Volk and Strand
Quotes you’ll have to ask for
our numbers (never know who
could be reading this, so it’s
probably not the best idea to
put our numbers in here).
Eighth graders, we haven’t for-
gotten about you, a folder
should be set up in your
classroom at Ben by this
time, but if not, it’ll be
there asap.
We hope this school year
has been off to a great
start and that you enjoyed
all of the Homecoming
festivities. Thank you to
everyone who participated
in the Pie the Teacher
fundraiser. We were able
to raise $615.59 for the
Garcia family! If anyone
was by chance not present
at Pepfest, the looks on
the teachers faces as stu-
dents pied them was price-
less. Mr. Erickson, Mr.
Heck, Ouren, Mr. I, and
Hanson all received pies to
the face! A few weeks ago
we sold about $2000 dol-
lars in concessions! Let’s
keep this momentum going
and this will be the best

Blazer’s Nationals Diary Entry Blazer’s Nationals
Experience
The following is a jour-
nal of my Nationals ex-
perience that took place
this past summer; July
25th through July 30th.
WARNING: The content
that you are about to
read may or may not be
exaggerated and or mind
-blowing. Brace your-
self.
Wednesday: It was 5:03
A.M. at the Hector Inter-
national airport, spirits
were high and the coffee
was brewed. Everyone
was anxious to set out on
yet another Nationals
adventure. The flight
into Minneapolis was
SICK. I mean if you
don’t like turbulence
then you would probably
have gotten sick on that
fight. At the Minneap-
olis airport, several
flights went their sepa-
rate ways and we even-
tually met up in Winston
Salem, North Carolina.
(Lis Fricker and I got to
go to New York on the
way but that’s a different
story.) The first thing we
did was take a nap…
PSYCH! Oh no! The
first thing we did was hit
up the mall. After that
we tried to go swimming
at our lovely hotel. In the
hallway, two delegates,
whose name’s won’t be
mentioned, were walk-
ing through the hallways
in only bathing suits
when an elderly man
gave them the dirtiest
look I’ve ever seen. He
then told the ladies that
they should “put some
clothes on” because
“there are Christians at
this hotel.” It was hard
to contain laughter ladies
and gentleman. So, after
Erin and Lauren put
some clothes on we at-
tempted swimming in
the outdoor pool, but
failed because of boys
doing flips on a slippery
surface. As a lifeguard, I
was deeply disturbed at
the sight. To conclude
the evening, there was
an enormous amount of
chilling, waffle housing,
biscuit eating, and sleep-
ing.
* Keep in mind that no
one sleeps at Nationals.
When I say sleeping, we
merely doze off for a
couple moments.

Member Profile The only reason I’m
writing a profile about
Lauren Singelmann is
because she demanded
I do so, and I had to
hush the incessant
whining somehow. So
here it is: Lauren, what
do I have to say about
her? Well for starters
she is probably close to
the world’s biggest
spaz. She still thinks
that because I left a
poster in her room af-
ter nationals she is go-
ing to be charged. Lau-
ren also has beef with
the NJCL (but don’t we
all?), after three years
of waiting patiently she
thought that
#NJCL2013 was going
to be over her birthday.
SED, they changed the
dates and now it is a
whole week away.
EHEU!! No JCL birth-
day for her! But alas,
there is hope, thank
you Pandora. In the
year of the Lord
MMXIV nationals
dates have been set for
July 28-August 2
(Lauren’s 18th literal
and 12th emotional
birthday)!! IT’S GON-
NA BE A PARTY IN
HOTLANTA. So
yeah… only like 674
days until that, totally
start prepping now…
But anyway more
about Lauren: She is
the worst tuber I have
ever seen, she’ll try to
tell you differently but
she is a LIAR. She
teaches Mason’s
(Strand’s son’s) reli-
gion class and a direct
quote from Mason on
her “Is she qualified to
do this?” Lauren also
has the coolest sister
on the planet, Jamie. I
feel bad for Lauren,
having to live up the
standards her younger
sister Jamie has set.
But it’s ok; she makes
a really good dancing
lobster and a really
good roommate and a
really good fellow-
terrible-golfer (even
though one time she
almost lettered). So
everyone, watch out for
Lauren! She will not go
unnoticed I promise!
