The Latin Club, later called the Classics Club, is one of the oldest clubs at Barrie Central. Little of its early activities is known; in the 1970s it became a participant in the Classics Conference. Under the direction of Helen Spanis and Janet Turner, the Classics Club at Barrie Central won a number of Latin awards at the Classics Conference. The Classics Club became a member of the Ontario Junior Classical League, a student version of the American Classical League in the 1980s, then becoming eligible to participate in Certamen events and other activities sponsored by the association. In 1991, Margaret-Anne Gillis, took over supervision of the Classics Club. The club also organized the annual Grade 9 Parents' Welcome Dinner, assisted with Commencement in June, and decorated for the Excellence Awards. The members also went on field-trips, hosted Saturnalia, and put on semi-formal dance(s) for the school.
