Subtle, stark. ultimately to the core, hiding. People seeking themselves leave no sure place for Adulthood still brings vulnerability. They demand an openness in the guts of my being Or perhaps I'm here because I want that catalyst. Into that soft space enter things That rip me apart Or leave me so full I can hardly bear it. I would like to tell them That their vitality is infectious; That in moving through the days with them I am more myself than I have ever been; That at moments they hurt me But far more often they touch me, Unconsiously, quietly, softly, In the places we demanded that I open Till I can abandon myself to growing In the space provided by acceptance.

The past is but the beginning of the beginning , and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. A day will come when beings who are now latent in our thoughts and hidden in our loins shall laugh and reach out their hands amid the stars.

My time here is almost finished, I feel the moments of my Existence flicker and diminish. I am in limbo; moving forward Yet grasping tenaciously for the life I leave behind All is precious now , to waste Antripoth's thread on misery Would be a sin So I will not. Instead, I will thank my mother , who has become my friend, And my father, who has shown me integrity, My Jenny , who has shared both thoughts and soul, And my Pal, who has filled the gap which cannot be filled By parents or by friend.

Pretend to be good always and even God will be fooled.
I feel within me the rebellious unspoken word. I will not be old. The horizon enlarges , the sky shifts around me. It is in an age of shocks; a discipline so strong, so manifold, so rapid, and so whirling that only when it is at an end, if then, can I comprehend it.

The mist lay heavy on the hills, and the pine trees, and the ground, and the hanging moss. Still, an unborn freshness was present, waiting to be felt. Closing my eyes I lifted my head and brushed the drowsiness from my mind. Like after a long sleep I awoke to God's world, for like a fool I had been looking down and not up.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their sou Is , For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow , which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them , but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday
-Kahlil Gibran

He didn ' t cry, He didn't scream. He simply said, "When next I dream , It seems to me it might be wise To keep my dreams a smaller size."
So saying, he went back to sleep And dreamed about such things as sheep, And birthday parties , and buttercups , And toothpaste tubes , and spotted pupsGood proper dreams , and none so tall That he ran any risk of a fall.
His dreams were beautiful , But perhaps a little dull. In fact, but for the Birthday cake He might as well have stayed awake. And in his sleep I heard him sigh , "It was more fun when I dreamed high! "

Do not do unto others as you would they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the sa me.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena ; whose face is marred by dust and sweat; who strives valiantly ; who errs and may fail again, because there i s no effort without error or shortcoming , but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who does know the great enthusiasm, the great devotion ; who spends himself in a worthy cause ; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fai Is at least he fails while daring greatly , so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.
Roll on, thou deep and dark-blue ocean , roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain; Man marks the earth with ruin , his control stops with the shore; upon the watery pl a in the wrecks are all they deed , nor doth remain a shadow of m a n ' s ravage - Byron, Childe Harold

For countless ages the sun rose and set. the Moon waxed and waned. but it was only with the coming of Man that these things were understood. In the great world of astronomy and in the little world of the atom, Man has unveiled secrets which might have been thought undiscoverable Is all this to end in trivial horror because so few are able to think of Man rather than this or that group of men? Is our race so destitute of wisdom, so incapable of impartial love, so blind even to the simplest dictates of self-preservation. that the last prood of its silly cleverness is to be the extermination of all life on our planet?
-Betrand Russell

Man can will nothing unless he has first understood that he must count on no one but himself; that he is alone abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsi bi Iities, without help, with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth.

latin week
Once upon this time on the island of Kaluawanga there l i ved a little K a l uawangamanga n a m e d Jehemiah This is not true Jehimiah wasn ' t a l ittle Kaluawangamanga. He wasn ' t a big one either however. There was also a notlittle Ka l uawangamanga named Jer i miah whom people sometimes got m i xed up with Jehemiah (seeing as their names were somewhat similar) , but Jerimiah was average so we won ' t talk about him
There are some islands which are big and some i slands wh i ch are litt l e Kaluawanga was neither of these. It was very pretty and besides that it sme ll ed good There were trees and meadows dripping in their very greeness and the ocean and the sky were very b l ue But the Kaluawa ngamangas decided that this was okay because blue and green do look nice together Except for when the green is too dark , but as was already implied , this green wasn't. It was also not too light
There were elders on the island Most of them , however, were not al l that old. If someone who was not an elder bumped into an elder he got into trouble He first had to say, "Excuse me sir , please sir, excuse me " unless it was a lady If it was he didn't have to say anything. Unless the Ka luawangamanga who was not an elder was also a female i n which case she siad " I bumped into you ; would you like me to wash your feet? " To which the elder rep li ed that she did not. However, i f the non-elder were very careful and did not touch them, the elders would usually tell them stories if they liked and if these non-elders did not touch them As long as the elders did not get touched
Jehemiah got left alone He was glad becau se he did not like it when people that bothered him bothered him Which they did He did l i ke the other not-so - big Kaluawangamangas He liked them because they played with him so even when they were bothering him they were not and also they all let him think like he thought and do what he did And he had fun with them always and even when he was not having fun he knew that he always did so even then they did not bother him because he always knew that next time , even though not this time Or at least the time after but anyway sometime so they did not bother him.
He loved having fun and this he often did by playing games with the not-so-big Kaluawangamangas who did not bug him and who let him do as he liked and as they of course also liked. He loved most of all to play the Coconut Kool game which his grandfather had made up and which he loved oh so much. And in this game each of those playing it would climb up to the top of the coconut tree the one that lies oh so perilously leaning over the water and would pick three coconuts Then without anything, only his hands , each one had to crack all the big cover jackets, the three that covered the three cocounts and juggle them Those coconuts now without jackets. The not- so-big Kaluawangamanga who won was the one who fell into the ocean the least. The one who was second was the one who fell with the most finesse and the one who did lose was the one who was bitten by the big fish And he loved this game and so because he did , all day long he played the breadfruit and banana bingo game And this was not really too awful
\·
And so Jehemiah always got to do as he liked and sometimes when he liked nothing he would sit in the oh so white sand and draw words Unce ne arew and I hope you don t go crazy in this place " no reason. He liked this place because he could do as he liked and as he did and besides that the grass was dripping in greenness and the sky and the ocean were blue but this was okay because green and blue looked nice together And he always watched the clouds going away but he did not go away because for one thing he did not have a boat and for another thing this pla c e was not really so bad and where else would he go because this place was not awful and maybe even good

The Varsity was ranked first in the CIF for a while. They went undefeated until the second round of the playoffs, which is a tough place to have a flat game.

The thing about Poly people is how if you ask them they shrug or frown about the place. But it's like criticizing someone's brother; it's okay if he does it but you better not do it yourself.
Underneath the glaze of cynicism there sits the conviction that it's maybe the best school around anywhere. Somewhere under the glaze they think that.
