Hey Kids! Welcome to Polypark' s newest adventure:
To play this one of a kind game, read the directions below, strap on your safety belts and enjoy the ride!
In his 35 years of participating in the Poly community, as a student, teacher, and headmaster, Mike Babcock has entertained us with his humor and taught us with his wisdom. We have appreciated everything that he has done for us here at Poly. BUT, there is one aspect of Mike Babcock that unfortunately, until now, has not received the recognition that it deserves: his fine collection of hats. Please sit back and join us on ajourney through the world of Mr. Babcock's hats as we travel through his years at Poly.
Mr. Babcock tries out his theatrical talents, moonlighting as Clint Eastwood as the rest of the acting ensemble enjoys his rendition of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Who needs hat day? Mr. Babcock celebrates this festive occasion every • day, improving student life.
Always a model of safety, Mr. Babcock never rides his bike without a helmet. You can find him riding with all the other Poly athletes.
Stranded in the freshmen pages without his British cab, Mr. Babcock waits for a ride from a kind senior.
Mr. Babcock explores the world of outdoor education as he leads two lower school students on a hike
Mr. Babcock adorns a headpiece and forces other faculty members to do so as well, in an effort to spice up the normally drab faculty life.
Thank you for playing "Find Babcock's Hats." Please enjoy the rest of your day here at Polypark.
Bye Mr. Babcock!
We tip our hats to you.
The Oakleaves staff of 1998 proudly dedicates the 97-98 yearbook to Mr. Alexander "Mike" Babcock. Mr. Babcock has been an integral part of Poly's heart and life for the past fifty-nine years since he first entered Poly's kindergarten. He graduated in 1948 as Student Body President, ·before the tenth through twelfth grades had been added. In 1963, he returned to Poly to teach math for a year, and then accepted the position of Director of the Upper School in 1965. In 1980 he became our headmaster and has been our guardian angel ever since.
Mr. Babcock takes part in our outdoor educational trips, has made community outreach a big part of Poly life, has his own advisee group, and hasbeen involved in the HS&R classes. He has witnessed the construction of the Garland, the new girl's gym, the Fullerton building, and the new courtyard and Language Arts Building. He has outdone himself to make Poly students aware of their world. He was in the Soviet Union March and brought AIDS awareness to our school. He has continued to diversify Poly and has always presented himself as an approachable headmaster who • enjoys his job. Behind the scenes, Mr. Babcock has worked to create better administration and board relationships, fundraise, bring Poly into the technical . age, and most importantly, bring together a caring, intelligent faculty.
Mr. Babcock, thank you for everything you have done to make·Poly the school it is today. We love you andrespect your love for the Poly community. As you go on into retirement, please know that we will miss you, will . be thinking of you, and .hope to see you visit. Good luck in your future endeavors.

"The truth is that fulness of soul can sometimes overflow in utter vapiqity of language, for none of us can ever express the exact measure of his needs or his sorrows; and human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rythms for bears , to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars. "

Thanks for making me one of them.
From seeing the bars, his seeing is so exhausted that it no holds anything anymore. To him the world is bars, a hundred thousand bars, and behind the nothing. The lithe swinging of that rhythmical easy stride which circles down to the tiniest hub is like a dance of energy around a point in which a great will stands stunned and numb.
Only at times the curtains of. the pupil rise without a sound then a shape enters, slips through the tightened silence of the shoulders, enters the heart, and dies.

Life isn't about keeping score It's not about how many friends you
c/on"t; (!/'ter-
have or how accepted you are. Not about if you have plans this weekend or if you're alone. It isn't about who you're dating, who you used to date, how many people you've dated, or ifyou haven't been with anyone at all. It isn't about who you have kissed, it's not about sex It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have or what kind of car you drive. It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are. Or what clothesyou wear, what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to Not about what grades you get, how smart you are, how smart everybody else thinks you are, or how smart standardized tests say you are. It's not about representing your whole being on a piece ofpaper and seeing who will "accept the written LIFE JUST ISN'T Life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about keeping or betraying trust. It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon. It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening. It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge. It's about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow, and spreading it. But most of all, it's about using your life to topch other people's hearts in such a way that could have never occurred alone. Only you choose the way those hearts are affected, and those choices are what life's all about.

"I have fallen a long way. C louds are flowering Blue and mystical over the face of the stars. Inside the church, rhe saints will be all blue, Floating on their delicate feet over the cold pews , Their hands and faces stiff with holiness. The moon sees nothing of this. She is bald and wild. And rhe message of the yew tree is
" If you would indeed behold the spirit of death , open your heart wide unto the body of li fe. For life and death are one, even as rhe river and the sea are one ."
"Your pain is the breaking of the shell rhar encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that irs heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your hean in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would n or seem less wondrous than your joy. "
"And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your ride , let him know its flood a lso. For what is your friend that you shou ld seek him with hours to kill? Seek him always with hours to liv e. For it is his to fill your need, bur not your emptiness. And in the sweerness of rhar friendship let there be laught er, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds irs morning and is refreshed."
"For without words, in friendship , a ll thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed."
"When you part from your friend , you grieve nor; for that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain."

To know even one life has breathed easter because you have lived; This is to have succeeded.

Mr. Craig Fletcher, Upper School Physics teacher, offers a non-academic course to seniors which focuses on the religious and social philosophies of Eastern cultures. Fletcher's course is unique in that it allows students brought up in a primarily Western environment to learn about the ideas governing Eastern thought. Most seniors have opted to take this class, which meets once a week, and all involved have become familiar with ideas which may have previously been foreign to them. Some seniors find the discussions especially engaging because the ideas presented are so different than those of Western Philosophy. Fletcher provides an introduction to the principles of Buddhism and Hinduism and teaches students how to approach these Eastern Philosophies from a Western frame of reference.
Human Sexuality and Relationships is a program that was introduced into the Poly community a few years ago in hopes that it would promote candid discussion and provide a comfortable forum in which students could present concerns and questions. This non-required course is offered to juniors and seniors , who find both the regular and advanced HS&R classes to be informative and fun ways to exp ·iore current issues. Usually groups are led by two teachers (one male and one female) , and involve ten to fifteen students. In HS&R, students are involved in frank discussion of issues central to human sexuality, such as STDs, birth control, abstinence, honlosexuality , and the ramifications of sexual relationships. In addition, students explore non-sexual relationship issues, learning methods for building trust, confronting friends and loved ones, and building friendships. HS&R groups meet once a week in the evening, and all are centered around a fundamental group trl)st - strict confidentiality is observed.

What shall we give the children?
It seems certain that they will travel roads we never thought of, navigate strange seas, cross unimagined boundaries, and glimpse horizons beyond our power to visualize, What can we give them to take along? For the wild shores of Beyond, no toy or bauble will do. It must be something more, constructed of stouter fabric discovered among the cluttered aisles and tinseled bargain counters of experience, winnowed from what little we have learned. It must be devised out of responsibility and profound caring- a homemade present of selfless love. Everything changes but the landscape of the heart.
What shall we give the children?
The open sky, the brown earth, the leafy tree, the golden sand, the blue water, the stars in their courses, and the awareness of these. Birdsong, butterflies, clouds, and rainbows. Sunlight, moonlight, firelight.
A large hand reaching down for a small hand, impromptu praise, an unexpected kiss, a straight answer.
The glisten of enthusiasm and a sense of wonder. Long days to be merry in and nights without fear. The memory of a good home.
Remember all that lies behind you, Believe in all that lies ahead,
CONGRATULATIONS TO A SPECIAL SON & WONDERFUL BROTHER- FIN
