On April 29, 2003, the State Finals of
the Illinois
Certamen League, pitting the winners of the Northern, Southern, and
Western Sections, was held at Elgin High School. Northside’s
Latin I Certamen Team, composed of Max Swiatlowski, Michael Palma,
Kelsey Koon, and Arthur Izak-Damiecki, and Northside’s Latin
II
Certamen Team, composed of Mark Spreitzer, Michael Pomeranz, Jacqueline
Lewandowski, and Joseph Kaiser, both came out victorious. Both teams
ended their year undefeated, with 4 major championships each.
Northside students also swept the MVP
awards for the
Northern Section of the Illinois Certamen League: Michael Palma, for
Latin I, Mark Spreitzer, for Latin II, and Greg Schmucker, for Advanced
