We, the Senior class of 2006, proudly dedicate this yearbook to Seriora Hosey. Senora Hosey has grown with our class for the past four years of Upper School. She has stuck with us through through the best and worst times. Senora Hosey has always taken interest in the extra curricular activities that we all have pursued; you could often find her on the sidelines of sports games or in the audience of the school dramas. Her door has been consistantly open during our four years and she has always put the welfare of her students first.

The constant support and love that has formed between our class and Senora is truly special and will be cherished for years to come.

Thank you Senora for being a great mentor and friend to everyone!

We have fun and enjoy time together on class retreats, at dances, on Mountain Day, and on Halloween. 'While

Passing the Time together, we are creating life long memories of friendship and school spirit.

Freshman Retreat 2005 On September 8th, the Freshmen class traveled to Camp Blanchard to start off the new year. There they played games such as Race Across Space and Bancroft Ball. Some even opted to swim in the lake (even though the water was filled with seaweed). Generally, everyone had a great time preparing for their first day of Upper School.

Above: Mr. Sheldon instructs the Freshmen class as they line up to practice the Race Across Space.

Right: The Freshmen class rushes from one end of the field to another. The Race Across Space is a competition between classes that is usually done at Mountain Day. Left (kr): Nick Simeone, Alex Heinricher, and Brad Marcus create a new way of carrying people in the Race Across Space game. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

N THE FARM Sophomore Retreat 2005

The Sophomore class went to Bringham Hill Community Harvest Project to pick vegetables for charity this year. They worked hard in the fields under the hot sun, as well as inside packing the vegetables that they had just gathered. In the afternoon they returned to school where they enjoyed ice cream and a movie.

CAMPINAT The Junior class reached new heights at Camp Caribou. From campfire songs to night walks to low rope elements, the members of the class of 2007 bonded in more ways than they thought possible. The Beaver song and "Slow clap for Bill" were just a few of the many memories that will last a lifetime.

Beautiful weather allowed for numerous water activities such as the early morning swims and the perfection of the "kipperfish" dive. The Caribou experience ended with a huge campfire, where the juniors shared their goals for the coming year. As we continue our journey in the Bancroft Upper School, we hope that our hearts will continue to beat as one.

Sarah Crowley blows up a balloon in a relay race. 4. Marisa Franklin puts her balance to the test on the catwalk. 5. Noah Ligeti and Will Fitzpatrick goof off in their free time.

Will managed to retain his carefree attitude throughout the trip, despite being rushed to the hospital after getting stung by a bee. 6. Jeremy Bamberg jumps for a trapeze. 7. One of the groups gets personal while trying to squeeze everyone onto a small platform.

8. Laura Honig, Meredith Crawford and Lucy Crowley sun themselves as a closing point for summer. 9. Baird Bream, Nate Erskine Matt Stepansk, and Jared Ellison practice teeing off while waiting for their turn on the mini golf course. 10. Sioban Finicane, Vanessa Theoharis, Kristi Shea and Emmy Lawrence cool off in the water park. 11. Vanessa Theoharis, Brad Nicholson and Ben Lund get pumped for an intense game of capture the flag. 12. Ricky Maio and Sam Ostrow play a little ultimate frisbee in the pool.

AM& The Senior class treated themselves at their retreat, enjoying leisure activities such as mini golf, frisbee, tennis and swimming. The trip started out with a gigantic game of capture the flag, in the sun. Many classmates spent time catching up on their numerous summer adventures by just hanging out. Tim Harrington, Brad Nicholson, and others provided a little entertainment by practicing their gymnastic abilities and diving off of the board into the pool. This retreat was the perfect beginning to the end of their time at Bancroft.

MOUNTAIN DAY..WITHOVT THE This year Bancroft learned that Mountain Day could still be fun, even without a mountain. In light of the catastrophic events of Hurricane Katrina that destroyed much of Louisiana and Mississippi, Bancroft students decided to forgo the expense of Mount Wachusett and donate the money to hurricane relief efforts.

This charitable decision resulted in an awesome Mountain Day on the school's fields. The usual activities were scrapped and replaced by fun, new competitions. From wizards' chess to Ultimate Frisbee to Broadway musicals to the pamper pole, each class bonded and laughed as they racked up their class competitions points. Overall, the sunny skies and school spirit made Mountain Day 2005 a blast.

One of the Mountain Day events included a competition of ultimate frisbee. Below, Ricky Malo helps win the game for the Seniors, while Sam Finkelstein attempts to catch up to him in the fast paced game.

THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE AIR IN HOLLYWOOD...

Homecoming 2005 Mother Nature was not rooting for the Bulldogs this year, as the numerous days of rain flooded the fields and athelete's hopes for a day of victory. Students were disappointed as their planned displays ofschool spirit were hampered by stormy weather. Although canceled athletic contests were rescheduled, homecoming weekend did not seem the same without the morning games and family festivities outside; Seniors were especially upset that their last Bancroft homecoming was not a complete weekend. Nevertheless, the school was full of glitz and glam as upperclassmen poured into the blue gym for the "Hollywood" themed Homecoming dance.

Right: Future movie stars Nicole Peterson and Monica Picard get ready for their red carpet debut.

Much fun was had with class competitions like pumpkin carving.

DANCING THE Ni

The work load at Bancroft can be exhausting so the dances are a great time to relax and hang out with friends.

The year started off with Powder and Wig's eighties themed dance in the courtyard. Later in December the Bancroft MPR witnessed the first ever Black and White dance sponsored by Yearbook. Everyone put on their best black and white outfits and danced the night away under the lights. In addition, the Yearbook held the Mardi Gras dance in the Deja Vu room at Sh boom's, which was a hit with the freshman. Overall the dances really made the 2005-06 school year spectacular.

Above: Seniors dance on the wall in the courtyard during the first dance. Fortunately the weather was nice enough to hold the dance outside.

Below: Jeremy Bamberg and Will Fitzpatrick try to prove that they are the coolest guys at the first dance.

Maybe next year when they are seniors they will actually be able to claim this title.

Time for Drama, The Fall Drama Fall Drama: You Can't Take It With You That is This year's Fall Drama "You Can't Take it With You" is a 1930's version of"Meet the Parents," in which Wall Street executive, Anthony Kirby (Aidan Payne), falls madly in love with his father's secretary, Alice Vanderhof(Sarah Neslusan). Though their love is strong, they are not certain if it is enough to bring together their differing families: the straight-laced, conservative Kirbies, and the zany, vivacious Vanderhofs. Despite never having enough chairs to fill the dining room table, the families always managed to settle their differences and enjoy each others company night after night. The cast was filled with eager actors willing and able to practice the craft of acting. Featured seniors, Baird Bream, Henry Chase, Morenike Fajana, Olivia Mercadante, Matt Stepanski, Vanessa Theoharis, and Esty Hirsh can brag that they were involved with the most attended drama in the history of Bancroft.

And all that Jazz...

Winter Musical: On the 20th Century The story concerns the efforts of a flamboyant, theatrical impresario (Nate Erskine) to persuade a film star (Sarah Neslusan) to appear in his next production, and to outwit rival producers and creditors while getting rid of a crazed woman (Olivia Mercadante) and the film star's boyfriend (Tim Harrington). He must do all this before his train, the 20th Century Ltd., reaches New York City! This exciting, fast pace musical largely takes place on the 20th Century Express where the play producer, Oscar Jaffee (Nate Erskine) lights up the stage. Aided by his humorous sidekicks, Owen (Curtis Reid) and Oliver (Aidan Payne) the show is an action-packed production, and was a sure crowd pleased Right: The whole cast dances to the music of the 20th Century train.

Dear Bancroft, First and foremost, I would like to thank Allah (swt)for providing my family and me with the opportunity and ability to come here and be a part of a truly unique environment. I am writing this to express how grateful I am for the opportunity to attend this school. Throughout the years I have made connections with numerous individuals, all of whom allowed me to keep my unique personality and allowed me to prosper as a member of the Bancroft community. I thank all of my teachers and peers who supported me and and lastly I won't say goodbye to Bancroft because I will keep you all in my heart forever.

Sincerely,

Mohamed Hussein Adam

"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then,someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer:' Rilke

Mary Allison Anderson "I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth:" Holden Caulfield "But why think about that when all the golden land's ahead of you and all kinds of unforeseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you're alive to see?"

Those who've gone: Christian Seale, Mike Bloom, Turtle, Jared Stone, Alek Shapiro, and the Casual Fridays.

To Bancroft: Thanks for being the home for my education for the past four years. I've learned a lot during my time here, and not all of it was academic. I met some cool people, and I met some uncool people, I also met people who don't think I'm cool. I didn't get a chance to know a lot of people, and a lot of people didn't get to know me. I end this four year journey just to embark on yet another four year journey. Well peace out Bancroft! Class 06' son.

To my family Mom,Dad, Jesse, and Memere I love you. Thank you for being a great family, for always supporting me, and for always inspiring me. Mom and Dad- Thanks for giving me the opprotunity to attend Bancroft, I know the sacrifices you've made and I'm grateful. Jesse- you've been a great bro, even though I don't get to see you too often. You're coming along in this world, I just think that you and MJ should break up... or you should at least stop seeing her as much. Meme- I love you, you're the best g-ma anyone could ever ask for and definitely the coolest.

To Chris (Kryzsiek): We've been best friends for almost 12 years now, and while there has been so much drama and lost friendships (i.e. Jarad, Bruce, Kurt), our friendship has lasted. Thanks for being my bro, my number one wingman, and Pollacko.

Brittany: What can I say... On and off, on and off. Off forever? Or back on by the time this yearbook comes out? I don't know but, I know that it has been a real roller coaster this past three years. I love you and I always will, no matter what happens. I don't know what the future holds, if anything, for us but we'll see.

Tim H., Matt S., Brad, and Tom: Always remember my crazy stories for example my night on the town with the Jewish girl, and my rousing time at bootcamp.

Mo and Tommy: Stay Black guys I'll see ya in the NBA. R.I.P. White Advisory Wendy's Lunch Trips, Trips to Brattle, and that b. r. with Brad.

SEE YOU LATER BANCROFT NICE KNOWING YOU FIN THE END Murat: Good times man. Dane Cook, Poodiddles, Malfdor, Everwood, Logan, big paper mache fingers, etc. See ya around bro.

Mommy - You have taught me the importance of both love and independence, of pursuing my dreams and fulfilling my responsibilities, of respecting myself and caring for others. You've watered me with wisdom, you've empowered me with courage, you've demanded nothing less than what I'm capable of, you've showered me with a love that's unconditional and for all this I thank you. Beyond being my mother, you are my mentor, my role model, and my best friend. Even when I cannot stand you,I love you and know that I am so fortunate to have you, my momma,in my life. You embody beauty, love, power and purpose. I love you. I love you. I love you.

Dad - The only man I know that can fix a bicycle while riding it.

You have instilled in me a sense of self-reliance - whether it be making inner or painting a house, you have shown me that I can do it myself.

You introduced me to late night British comedy, and the joys of cutting hair. Hardworking and diligent, you have taught me to be patient in everything I do. Thank you for your undying love and support.

I'm tired of pacing the petty round of the

ring of the thing I know -- I want to stand on the daylight's edge and see where the sunsets go. I want to sail on a swallow's tail and peep throu h the sk 's blue glass.

I want to see if the dreams in me shall perish or come to pass. I want to look through the moon's pale crook and gaze on the moon-man's face. I want to keep all the tears I weep and sail to some unknown place. -Georgia Douglas Johnson Morenike - I've known you for forever and a day, since the tender twos. My childhood was defined by the hours we spent drawing up the blueprints for our lives, writing politically stirring and soulful lyrics, not to mention those ohso educational and engaging Saturdays with Charles Houston and company.

I know there is no way I wdlild have made it through Bancroft if you hadn't been there. Thank you for understanding, thank you for listening, and thank you for making me laugh to the point of not being able to breathe.

Davisimo! I'm not sure how you're wild self put up with my quiet nature and affinity for napping, but I'm glad you did. Thanks for dragging me off the pillow and into the world. I love you Ami ire much brother bear.

Jackson you are, without a doubt, the greatest brother in sibling history. You amuse me to no end, and you're still the only person that laughs at all my jokes. I can be incensed with your antics one minute and three seconds later, be rolling around in tearful laughter at something you said. I am always amazed by your thoughtfulness and mathematical prowess - not to mention your dashing good looks. I'm grateful to have you as both my brother and my best friend, and I'll never be too far away to chase away the mobs of girls vying for your love and affection, even if you don't want me to. If you weren't so tall, I would put you in my pocket and take you with me to college.

I'm so proud to be your sister. I love you g.a.b.u.

"You find out life's this game of inches. So is football. Because in either game,life or football, the margin for error is so small, I mean one-half a step too late or too early, and you don't quite make it. One half-second too slow, too fast, you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us."- Any Given Sunday

Time to Look Back Class of 2006 Sandboxers For the past 13 years, the Sandboxers have laughed and learned together. They joined the Bancroft community as joyous Kindergartners who played in the sandbox and left as insightful Seniors who led their class. Their spirit and dedication has been a positive contribution to school and their presence will surely be missed.

As Sandboxers, these thirteen students share a special bond and many wonderful memories that will hopefully last a lifetime.

Sandboxers who stayed from kindergarten to senior year, are top row (kr) Matt Stepanski, Jared Ellison, Matt Glick, David Crowley, Siobhan Finicane, Brett Hershman, and Tim McKone. In the bottom row, Morenike Fajana, Stephanie Ganias, Kelsey McDonough, Laura Honig, Meredith Crawford, and Libby Nigro.

"It's been thirteen ...[...]...years" -Matt Stepanski "The first four years of my life are nothing compared to the thirteen I spent at Bancroft!"

Stop the play! Let's ap our athletic mphs. Our athletes e competitive and spirited team players who have enough talent and determination to compete at the top of their E.I.L. and N.E.P.S.A.C. divisions.

Their teamwork and cooperation on the field reate lasting bonds and lifelong friendships.

Boys'Soccer

Boys' Soccer Led by senior captains Tim Harrington and Tom Magnuson and junior captain Kingsley Essien, the boys' varsity soccer team was a force to be reckoned with. Highlights included: the dominating victory at Berwick, Tim Harrington's two goals against LCA to win the game,Josh Torrey's hat trick against Concord, Kingsley Essien's exceptional plays on offense and defense, Tom Magnuson's game winning goal in the 87th minute against Marianapolis, and, despite a dislocated shoulder, Taylor Zork's shutout against Berwick. The Boys' Varsity Soccer team even had a hard core fan base that went to every game (aka Mrs. Lemay). They played hard and had fun. Yiiis!

The Girls' Varsity Soccer season started off with a kick! Composed of ten freshman, three sophomores, three juniors and six seniors, the team was diverse, and there was much bonding to do. With a new coach, Curran Ford, the team was optimistic that this year would be the year to win the league. Scrimmage day was successful, with a victory over SPM, Marianapolis and Tantasqua. Pingree day resulted in a tie. The wins kept coming, until the homecoming of the long-standing rivalry: LCA. Soon injuries began to add up and the rain and wind poured in, but the team pulled through and ended with a kick. We were pleased to make the "A" bracket of the EIL tournament and went on to beat LCA in penalty kicks in the first game. We placed second in the EIL tournament but were able to make it to the NEPSAC semi-finals after another penalty kick win against St. George's. — Soccer

Flying High Field Hockey 2005 Squad 2005 felt good going into this year as the geese returned for another winning season. Anchored with seven experienced Seniors, the team knew what they were after from the beginning: EIL League and Tournament Champions, and NEPSAC Champions! After pre-season, 17 ladies made up the official Squad 2005- a big difference from the 25 girls oflast year- but each player was determined to push herselfand put forth her own unique strength. With all those differences combined on the field, the team truly took off, ending the season undefeated in the league and rightfully claiming the title of EIL Champs. Although the team worked hard each and every day, there were definetly comical and clumsy moments; Squad 2005 was a team on and off the field. A special thanks to Coach Courtney, who always keeps the team focused with her intensity and experience, and to Coach Gerhardt, who brings her extensive knowledge and love ofthe game out to the field every day to help us improve and work together as a team.

An impressive record of 10-3 and a second place finish in both the league and EIL tournament were some of the accomplishments of this year's team. Some personal highlights include: * Eric "best dressed golfer" Tankanow lead the way as our #1 golfer and handed the #1 player from LCA his first defeat late in the season. * Brett "birdman" Hershman compiled an impressive 12-1 season beating nemesis Jake Rosenthal from Beaver twice. * Robbie "keep your feet planted" Caron, was a touch competitor at the #3 spot and earned much respect around the league. * Alexis "hole in one" Kelleher... fought through adversity and injury this season but ended on a great note by finishing first in her flight at the EIL tournament. * Ben "down the middle" Bryant was long and consistent all season. * Jack "never say die" Anderson had several key matches where he clawed back from 2 or 3 holes down to halve the match to help secure key wins. * Nick "swing easy" Marois got a taste of competition and performed very well in key matches.

X-treme X-Country Varsity Cross Country 2005 After another strong year for both teams, Cross Country has returned. The boys team is in a rebuilding process after losing Scott DC and Christian Seale. Seniors Tim McKone, and Mohammed Adam, along with junior Noah Ligeti, and sophomores Alex Larose and Gabe Drapos held a tight pack throughout the season. On the girls team, captain Ingrid Guha and sophomore Isabel Zinman won multiple races for their team. The team looks forward to another exciting season, though hopefully a more successful one.

Coach: "If anyone loses to my daughter, they're running another lap."

Ethan: "Coach you're setting me up for failure."

The Bancroft Coed Ski Team, led by captains David Crowley, Jake Lemay, Liz Eypper, and Monique Remillard, had tremendous success in 2006, taking home several trophies at the end of the season. The girls finished second in combined slalom and giant slalom, while the boys finished third despite a decidedly small team. The boys' and girls' combined team also finished third in the league. Undoubtedly, the highlights of the season included a first place finish for the girls at one race, upsetting Worcester Academy's winning streak from the past several years, a team dinner hosted by the Remillards, and the final race when seniors Liz Eypper and Izzy Fay skied in their bathing suits on one of the coldest nights of the season.

Although the team was not able to attend the NEPSAC race at Mt. Sunapee in New Hampshire, all six seniors and several other members qualified.

Good luck to next year's team, and hope for a snowier winter in 2007.

JV Volleyball We finished this season with a record of 17-0, undefeated for the second year running. The four new bloods,Annalisa, Caroline,Allison, and Liz brought a tangible excitement to the team and curious anticipation for years to come,while the five seniors reminded us that all good things must come to an end. With a team of fourteen girls, Coach Sheldon had her hands full, ifnot with catering a six-on-six game to the needs ofan overstocked squad, then with handling the unbridled energy of this over-caffeinated band of teenage miscreants.

Every game highlighted the strengths ofthese girls as players and as a tisserie-slapping unit. We focused on always playing "our-game," looking for a strong pass, a high set, and a powerful hit. By emphasizing both aggression on and offthe net, with a focused awareness ofthe ball and the players around you,we've blossomed into a flower of ultimate domination.

From both captains, thank you for an amazing four years. We're so proud ofwhat the team is and can't wait to see all of you on the court next year, even though we'll be in the stands. There is no doubt that Suela, Kris, Rose, Betsy, and Julia will all be slapping the tisserie at college campuses across the nation next year.

Love, Your Fearless Captains, Betsy & Julia Rose

Varsity Volleyball The Varsity Volleyball team went undefeated in regular season play with a final record of 21-0. They came in first place in the EIL tournament and completed their second consecutive undefeated season by winning the NEPSAC tournament. This team of thirteen girls was almost inseparable this season, spending at least an hour and a half together at practices each day, and sometimes up to five hours during away games. Coaches Stein and Enlow oversaw months of practices and watched the girls improve daily with doubles tournaments, drills, scrimmages and games. Lia Engelsted, Katrina Engelsted and Kate Anderson captained the team and helped lead them to many victories. Through Nick's Roast beef, Susan's sweaty hands, Lizzy Allen tripping on the court, and Olivia Stevens bringing down the net at Beaver, the team was able to live through many hilarious moments. After a great season and countless memories, we look forward to another fun season of spandex.

Girls' Varsity Basketball At the heart of the Girls' Varsity Basketball team was their strong team work and vibrant spirit. Led by captain Kelsey McDonough and seniors Callie Lekas, Adrienne Marois, and Erin O'Connor, the team rallied with strong wins against Darrow and Newton. Kelsey had a particularly strong season and was honored with election to EIL All Star team. Next year promises great results as the rest of the young team, including two eighth graders Nicole Manning and Sarah Kelly, continue to build on the hard work of this season.

With focus and determination, both varsity basketball and junior varsity basketball tore up the court. Boys' varsity basketball was a unified force from the start of the season. With four starting seniors, one All-American and one signed to play in college, the team was bound for success. Varsity kept the heat, with continuous success throughout the season. Captains Tim McKone and Tom Magnuson remained the top scorers for the entire seaseon, however junior CJ Silva crashed the boards with his "all net" 3 point shots throughout the season and especially in the game against Beaver. Varsity exhibited simplicity and execution in their offensive line against teams like Concord Academy and Lexington Christian Academy, leading to intense, fast-paced games.Junior varsity maintained a strong attention to skill mastery as games continually increased in speed and challenging plays. The junior varsity team also displayed great school spirit as Brendan Jones, Afi Soofi and other team mates would cheer-on the varsity. Although we will miss our seniors in the next season, boys' basketball will remain strong as they "take no prisoners, won't spare no lives" and bring "Hell's Bells" to the court.

Beacon The Bancroft Beacon, the school's long running newspaper, hits the press once every few months. Although many students enjoy the newspapers that circulate the school, most do not realize the amount of time that goes into producing each edition. Editors Lizzy Eze and Ingrid Guha assign articles for each of the writers; the Photo Editor, Noah Ligeti, then finds or takes appropriate pictures for each article; the process is finished when Lizzy and Ingrid construct the newpaper layout.

Then after checking with the advisors, Mr. Teutsch and Mr. Gal, it's sent to the press.

Thanks for all the news this year, we look forward to next year's front page stories!

We are also looking forward to the continuing success of the program, when next year's newcomers will feel as integrated as sardines in a tin.

As usual, Blue Moon had one job this year — to produce a yearbook. With stacks of pages to edit and deadlines to meet, this was not an easy task. Executive editors, Morgan Cichon and Lindsey Madison worked hard to keep everyone on track with candy bar rewards for completed pages. In addition to this, the club had two important goals this year. First, they set out to give the students more pages they wanted and less that they didn't; and second, they tried to give the yearbook a theme. The theme chosen this year was The Time is Now and was effectively incorporated into the yearbook. Izzy Fay worked hard to raise money for the yearbook with ads and Monica Picard was in charge of the dances. Overall the yearbook was very successful and productive. Next year Hillary Adams will take on the role of Chief Editor.

Providing us with the much needed energy to get through the long, tedious school day, the canteen is food in a closet. Day after day they supply us with pounds of nutritionally satisfying candy bars, Gatorade, Polar beverages and pop tarts. Recently, it has been discovered that if the canteen is locked we need not fear because there is access from the secret passage. Brad gives away free food, Ronie lends us money from the cashbox, Stepanski always entertains the buyers, and Matt is just one cool, laid back guy.

Croquet has a reputation for being a genteel game for garden parties and picnics. Yet the debut of the Bancroft school croquet club transforms the mediocre sport into a fiercely competitive game of skill and strategy.

Played on the soccer fields, tournaments have determined just how much determination and desire to defeat their fellow classmates in croquet.

For those unaware of the recreational sport, croquet involves hitting plastic balls with a mallet through hoops embedded into the grass playing arena.

For instance to introduce British parliamentary debate, JAGUAR hosted an English day complete with a fish and chips lunch. With a great number of new members this year, debate's future looks bright.

The Disciplinary Committee of 2005-2006 took on new challenges and maintained its commitment to handling every disciplinary case in a serious and just manner. With visionary DC Head Matt Glick, the committee began drafting an honor code for the Upper School. This honor code is meant to foster a sense of trust and personal responsibility in the community with the hope that future Disciplinary Committees will continue to adapt the code to the changing needs of the Upper School. Representatives Meredith Crawford, Hillary Adams, Gabe Drapos, and Alex Heinricher, along with faculty advisors Ms. Telenson and Mr. Teutsch, were dedicated to the DC mission and were instrumental in what was a very effective and progressive year for the Disciplinary Committee.

A wind across the land, carrying from the mountaintops where we watched sunrises and down into the fields ofsnow where we caught the dizzy flakes between panes of glass. This is Intarsia, freezing the moments of life within our words, liberating expression and emotion with our art. Each of us is a magician with a trick and a stagecraft to delight the audience before us, and with our wonders we bring forth the glory of the human existence on this ever-changing earth. We gather to express the magnificent and the awful, although the awful is frequently tinged with irony. It is surprisingly difficult to write Gothic poetry with a straight face. We are the ones who sit on desks, disregarding the chairs, and scribble down narratives and poems in Crayola markers and pencil stubs. We are the club of dreamers and philosophers, artists and writers who watch the world go by. With such a constituency, it is remarkable we ever get anything done. Oh but we do! We shock and awe without bombs and instead deal in killer metaphors and devastating contrasts and perspectives. Our strike force is the well-organized literary magazine, soon to be published and shared with the whole world. We are Intarsia, guided by improvisational sock monkeys and the infinite box of random writing objects, and we love you.

a in-C-1-ub The Latin Club was a new addition to the school this year, with Isabel Zinman working hard to make it happen. They are a member of the National Junior Classics League and are planning a Classics Day field trip later in the year.

'Whether they are watching Gladiator, playing Roman games, or having a Mediterranean lunch, the members are always laughing and having fun (and no they do not sit around and speak Latin). The Latin Club looks forward to their second year and are confident that they will continue to be a part of the Bancroft community.

Captains Ingrid Guha, Rose Gammal, Ben Lund, and Agnes Dardas did their best to lead this year's math team to victory. During their meetings they did practice math problems on everything from number theory and geometry to precalculus and trigonometry. This helped them prepare for the challenging meets that they attended throughout the season, competing against schools such as Wachusett, Athol and Nashoba. Unfortunately, not everyone was able to compete because the Bancroft team grew substantially this year. Nonetheless, the math team gave it their all and fought hard to bring honor to their school.

Peer Educators The Anti-Defamation League(ADL) was established in 1913 and has since become one of the nation's premier civil rights and human relations organizations, "Its ultimate purpose," as states in the ADEs charter," is to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike and to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizens."

In 1985, ADL and Boston's WCVB-TV created "A World of Difference" campaign to fight prejudice and strengthen pluralism. This program is used in schools, universities, corporations, and law enforcement agencies. "A World of Difference" specifically combats issues of discrimination in the preschool through 12th grade communities with their program,'A Classroom of Difference," which includes workshops for teachers, support, and classified staff, students, and family members. The World of Difference Institute provides practical, experiential, hands-on training with skills to challenge prejudice and discrimination, to foster inter-group understanding and to equip participants to live and work successfully and civilly in a diverse world.

As a response to the riots in Crown Heights in 1991, The World of Difference Institute began working in conjunction with students from Clara Barton High School in Crown Heights, Brooklyn to provide opportunities to discuss students' concerns about the events in their community and their person experiences with prejudice, stereotyping, discrimination, and violence. This group of students motivated the Institute to create ADEs A World of Difference Institute Peer Training Program. Since 1991, over 7,000 young people have been trained to be Peer Trainers, including the 26 students in Bancroft's ADL program. The program has gone international, operating throughout the United States and in 15 countries overseas.

The Bancroft charter has, in the past year, trained twelve new students and worked with 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th graders. With Julia Karpicz, Matt Glick, and Morenike Fajana as heads, they have organized and run Mix-It-Up Day in November and held a commemoratory Martin Luther King Day assembly.

Uncommon Ti'mel Uncommon Time sang as beautifully as ever in 2005 and 2006 with Ingrid Guha and Tim Harrington in the lead. With limited practice time and a small student body to select its members from, Uncommon Time, Bancroft's only coed A Capella group, continues to amaze students, faculty and parents alike with its musical aptitude and enthusiasm. Congratulations to all of the talented Uncommon Timers on a harmonious year!
