Swimming

Swi mmi ng is a time to have fun, Going from wall to wall. Wo r k i n g on the stroke you want. When you swi m, make sure you have fun!

The ice is a place of silence. The ice is a place of grace. Bright lights, Cold rinks. This is a life of a skater. The crude j u dge s , The st i ff compet i t or s around you. The wor l d of a skat er is harsh. It is also inspiring, but always compel l i ng. Skating is art. Laura Mi c hel son

Old Mansion What is that, that I j us t spied, It d i s a p p e a r e d b e f o r e my eyes Only a cloud of gas, Not e ven any mass. S o m e t h i n g that j u s t read my mi nd, S o m e o n e whom I c a n n o t find A f l as h of yell ow mixed with some brown, Yellow so shiny, it looked like a clown. Next stop, Volcano Island, Sure is a hot, st eamy highland. A horse that j ust ga l l o p e d by, It l oo k e d like it was on fire, yet I waved my hand hi. A red puppy dog b a r k i n g along, I real l y love heari ng its song A n o t h e r f l a mi n g horse is c omi ng near The red puppy dog chased it out of here! A d r i e n n e Joy

Spri ng The fl owers are bl oomi ng the kids are pl ayi ng, and laughi ng; I love the fresh smell of fl owers bl oomi ng. The fresh f r ui t t astes so good in the hot summer. It is so j u i c y - whe n I take a bite and the drip of a green a ppl e drips onto my shirt I feel warm. I feel good. I feel like spring itself. La ur e n Dunc an

TENNIS

Sp r i n g

The sun shi nes in my eyes, I t hrow the ball in the air and hit it, my opp o n e n t hit it back, I hit it back, my oppone nt hits it again, I hit it harder, it lands in the green, it goes right past my op p o n e n t , and t h a t ’s when I know, I won the point!

Spr i ng is a time whe n A seedl i ng grows, Roots and Le a ve s like e v e r y o n e knows. This is the season whe n Cherry trees b l o o m, And b a b y r o d e n t s start to zoom. This is the season Wh en ba bi e s are born, And a y o u n g buck St arts to grow its horn. And this is the seas on When c hi l dren can play, And this is the s e a s o n when Our Mot her E a r t h has her day. Jack Rudol ph

COLD DAY

Beaver Souffle

The cold d a y ’s breeze b l e w on my face and

Out of the way. It is be ave r souffle! It is a treat.

I let in a breat h of cold air. The trees rustled.

But I d o n ’t find it a ppet i zi ng to eat! Beaver souffle so gooey. But when I eat it, pt ooey! Some say yay . To beaver souffle! Except t h e r e ’s a flaw. In their awe!

I heard my mom cal l my name. There we r e goose b u m p s all the wa y up my arms. I ran i nsi de to be by my f ami ly and the warm fire. I was once a ga i n warm.

Catherine McDonnell Sunday Sunday is boring. All the TV shows are bori ng. All the good stores are closed. The only fun thing to do is play sol i tai re and video games. Sunday is boring. Nick Pollack

Mo o n Moon, Moon w h e r e are you? Are you goi ng to j ump up at me and say Boo? Can you show me the man in the moon? Or maybe the cow who j u m p e d over the moon and said Moo! Why d o n ’t I see you tonight ? Are you at the zoo? or maybe you are e at i ng stew. You are di fferent tonight. Are you new? I c a n ’t see you out si de, but I can see an owl in the sky that is sayi ng Hoo Hoo! There are stars in the sky and I see the nort h star too. I see Leo the Lion h e ’s roari ng at me, I see the Mi l ky Way but t her e has be en a mi s t a k e and h e ’s dr i n k i n g tea. I see a shape of a bunny in the moon and he has a hur t knee. Then I say bye to the moon and say I will find you soon. Marc Scarioni

The Secret Place Wh e r e the wi nd b l o ws t hr o u g h the b r i g h t l y dr es se d b r a n c h e s and the new born birds chirp for the first time, t h a t ’s the secret place. As the spring near by gl ides over the mossy rocks, and the frogs j ump like crickets in the open air, t h a t ’s the quiet place. The fl ower s bl oom and the t rees grow st rong, strong as a t hunder cloud, t h a t ’s the t hinki ng place. And as the lady bug sl eeps and the f ai ri es awake t h a t ’s the peaceful place. Even as the owl s hoot and the t roll s wander about, i t ’s the secret place, a quiet place, a t hinking place, a peaceful place, my place, a free place. Kelly Sc hr yver Old Man Tree Under the sun a man w h o ’s skin is wr i n k l e d from age, Wh o s e many arms gr ow out so far, but they are still s t r o n g e r than your s st andi ng in one pl ace f or e ve r , feet s t a n d i n g under ground Rest i ng forever in eternal sleep, happil y wa ki ng in the s i ngi ng breeze. Shi vering as the cold sl i ps through your thin fi ngers, Your arms give p r ot e c t i on from the sun and cold. Snake like scarves gr ow up your body. Your voice is so beaut iful , I go into a dreamy sleep. Ira Hiding in a pile of l eaves while si ngi ng the song of the birds, Your paws are small and gray wi t h soft little hairs. Your t eeth are tiny. Cr yi ng for your mot her, I c omf or t you, I pet you, I love you, Shaking in a box, we take you to a bui l di ng full of dogs. You cry louder, They take you away and I cry too. I miss you Ira I really do. A1 S h e p a r d 63

-The History of the Class of 1999ROOM 9 - We met each other for the first time, and we made cool artwork. We were really into the jewel fairy and hunted on the little kids’ playground for jewels. We even made forts for the jewel fairy, but the older kids knocked them down. We were the last class to have Mrs. Trick. ROOM 10 - Stephen, Matt, Donnell, Blake, and Sheeva arrived and all of us were small. All the girls liked to play with Ms. Mondore’s hair. We learned that we can’t say, “You can’t play” but we did learn to say, “I am kind.” Mrs. Dulik sat on the chocolate cake. We made the Great Wall of China and did the jungle play. Heath dug up the biggest rock on the playground. Emily and Meredith moved to Switzerland. KINDERGARTEN - Molly, Beeta, Babak, Jordie, and John arrived. Mrs. Jory and Mrs. Lippert were our teachers. We continued to like forts. We went to chapel for the first time. We used paste and we had a piano in the classroom. We made an animal for each letter of the alphabet. This was our last year without uniforms. Jordie, John, and Ross left. FIRST GRADE - Mrs. Taft was our teacher. We learned about China. Francis and Herman joined the class. Dominoes and wood blocks were the cool things. We did the bunny play. This was the first year of homework and uniforms and the first year with no naps. We read Mr. Popper’s Penguins and had a test on it. Mrs. Pot helped us hold our pencils correctly. The fake axe broke during the musical. John and Graham left. SECOND GRADE - J.L. and Lawrence arrived in the beginning of the year; Dylan came in the middle of the year. We did the frog play and had dino day. We played the 3rd grade in soccer. Annie and Lawrence left. THIRD GRADE - J.T. joined the class. Mrs. Peck was our teacher and we had lots of reports, including book reports and the endangered species report. We did a Thanksgiving play and Valentines play. We played the second grade in soccer. We were the last class to have Mrs. Peck in 3rd grade. Sheeva left. FOURTH GRRDE - Tory joined the class. Mr. Sherman was our teacher. At family reading night, the firefighters were called away. We wrote Japanese Anything Reports and many book reports. Alexander broke his leg and Chelsea O. broke her arm. We went to Coloma at the end of the year and Donnell ate lots of spaghetti; the fifth graders moved our room around while we were gone. FIFTH GRRDE - We started off the year with Ms. Spang and headed off to USTA. We went to Yosemite, Francis brushed his teeth a lot. Ms. Spang left and Mr. Heminway arrived. We did the Christmas Pageant and the musical. The games at recess this year were handball and black magic (butts up). We played fun made-up games like Mr. Gator and Cat and Mouse. The main thing for most boys were dirtbikes, go-carts, and go-peds; Pokemon took over most of us. Both the girls and the boys won their basketball championship games second year in a row.

G ran d W ailea I'm not quite sure what the Grand Wailea will be like, But I have heard, magnificent stories about it, I believe, It will be like a dream land, a place I couldn't imagine, I think that it will be the grandest Hotel I have ever been to, I'm still not quite sure what the Grand Wailea, will be like. Beeta Lashkari

Dewdrop A dewdrop is an angels tear, A tear of joy, A dewdrop is the esscence of faith, A wonder, A dew drop is a rose, A rose fully blossomed glistening in the sun, A piece of bueaty hardly noticed, A dewdrop is a healer, A healer of the soul. Chelsea Kubal

The Letter The day arrives I'm shaking all around My dad takes me home after school I open the mail box They all came I bring them to the dining room My mom is there waiting All the pressure is on me while I open the first one I open Woodside Priory's Yes, I got in Next is Crystal Spring's My second choice Man, I'm on the waiting list Finally the letter I've been waiting for Menlo Yes, I got in I jump with joy My dream came true. Donnell Tachis Maddy & Elena Maddy is my beautiful, tiny sister. She smiles every day, nonstop. Her short blonde hair is silky to the touch. Her intricate little hands have a strong grip, and a soft touch. Elena is a lot like Maddy. She has a strong grip, soft touch and golden hair. She still has a personality of her own, though, she has a servant call where she rases her hands and starts talking baby. They are my sisters and I love them both.

Dylan Wengert

DREAMS Dreams are the imagination going wild. You are Falling F alling F alling you catch yourself, and you are flying over castles in the stars Dreams are beauty. You are dancing, dappled in sunight or you are running through a golden field Dreams are rest. You are able to think clearly you can let go of the days problems and worries Dreams are never ending. They are forming day and night, always going on whether you like is or not, dreams are happening Chelsea Ono Horn

Feelings You receive feelings at birth and they are taken from you at death You can lock them up, but you can’t hold them back forever Your your feelings can hurt some one, or make some feel better No two people have the same feelings, feelings can be similar, but not the same Feeling are great Feelings are possessions. Christina

Skieller

Together Together Forever we’ll be just her and me her and me Together Forever we will stand playing together hand in hand Together Forever known for so long like Ying and Yang and King and Kong Together Forever never alone never to moan or groan Together Forever never to part just like the start Together Forever we will be just her and me her and me. Haley Selmon

Dirt Bike Dirt bikes are cool, Dirt bikes are swift. But I have just one rule, It has to have a stick shift. Heath Burian

B iking to School I bike to school as much as I can I always wish that I had a fan I get hot and sweaty I don’t carry a teddy I always bike past a very old man. Jonathan Leemon

Ten Seconds left to go. Our ball. We inbound the ball to Herman. Herman passes the ball to Babak. Eight seconds left. Babak dribbles trying to get pass defenders. I watch the referee, so far 5 seconds in the back court. I scream “Babak,” he notices me. He passes me the ball. Four seconds remaining. I hurl the ball towards Stephen who is down by the basket. Stephen lays it off the backboard. He scores. We win 333 0 .1 am so happy! ~Ws win two 7 ears dn a row ! !! Jonathan Taylor

A Dream Land The waves in the ocean glide silently toward the hot, sand. I walk toward the ocean. As I feel the cold water on my feet. It is almost like I am being pushed into a dream land. I imagine clouds all around me. I am now floating. Suddenly I wake up. I wish I could go back but I know that it is impossible. Kendall Bell

Nature Nature is a g ift from mother nature When she is happy nature blumes, when she is sad nature dies Birds fly like airplanes in the sky, hum mingbirds shine like emeraldsthat you buy Dogs fu r are like blankets o f warmth, flow ers blume like dolphins jum pingw ith a bell, and trees liv e so long they always have an ancient story to te ll But what do people do, W ell, they pretect mother nature’ s gifts.

T reasure The pictures glossy top a treasure rawhide knot on a black background eyes looking off in the distance wet, black nose sniffing the air green grass surrounding him glossy black fur it curls around his chubby body my puppy in the picture confused waiting for me to come back he is stuck there but with me 11 years ago he is waiting for me to come back but I can’t. Molly Doran

Friends People to lean on People who care People there are lot’s of, who are always there People who are swell People that are kind People you can believe in who believe in you as well. Alex Kubal

Thinking Thinking is wondering what to do even if you don't have a clue. Thinking is questioning where you'll dine or even what to write in the next line. One of the things that you might think is “Hey I'm thirsty I'll get a drink. “ What's in the sink?'' “What made that clink'' Some things you might ponder when you think, think, think. Francis Reynolds

Under the Bed What is under the bed? I said, to Auntie Mead and Uncle Fred I don’t know , Auntie Mead said, But it just ate your Father, Ned! Rachel Bolten

Racing dirtbikes is very fun, but scary and dangerous. Once you get in first place, you feel a burst of happiness and want to scream with joy. It is fun to race on cool tracks with hills, bumps, mogels and jumps. Once you come to the bumps it gets really scary because if you make one false move you can get seriosly injured and the person behind you can run you over. You are wondering were the others are but you don't want to look back. I have seen my friend try to look back and crashed into a tree. The dirt in your eyes makes you want to close them but you will fall if you do. It is worth the risk because it is so fun being able to go faster then your friends and have all of that power in your control and remember KX80 all the way. Stephen White

Snorlax the Dog Snorlax the dog wakes up And barks for breakfast to come to him He opens his mouth and the food drops in his mouth Then he sleeps, and snores until it’s dinner He is a very lazy dog. Tory Patton
