From the Historian

This scrapbook is dedicated to all the members of the OJCL who have found a home in this community. There is no organization more accepting, fun, and exciting as the OJCL. To those not from Ohio, I hope that through this scrapbook you were able to catch a glimpse of the passion and love for the classics that lives within us. To those who are still not sure about the JCL, I promise you even if right now it does not seem like it, once your time comes to move on from high school the memories and friendships you made will follow you and shape your life.

I advise you to step out of you comfort zone, meet new people, talk to those you wouldn't normally. Do not let fear of rejection or judgment prevent you from making memories and living your life to its fullest capacity. Who knows, your new best friend may be dancing next to you at one of the legendary NJCL dances or competing alongside you at open certamen.

Amor et pax,

Lucia Boadas Pena
