A lex M cK inley

We talk a great deal about head and heart, but we don't often talk about hands.

Hands are for holding.Hands are for hugging.

One hand held high says, "Hello." Two hands held high say, "Hurrah."

Hands - fisted say, "I'm excited." Hands clasped together say, "I'm hopeful."

Hands pointing say, "I need you." Hands are for helping.

Hands have a language all their own. When you hold another's hand you say,

"You are my friend."

M iddle S chool J ohn C rabb

Small hands enter the fifth grade, searching for the way to learn.Hands reach out in the sixth grade, meeting people of different cultures.In seventh grade the hands pull together, striving to help each other accomplish the task.Confident, strong and skilled hands of eighth graders lead the rest as they all strive to grow in the Middle School.

Helping Hands Hands are for helping in many ways,

They touch our friends when we're at play. With our hands we can shake

when new friends we try to make. When we were young and having fun they held balloons in the noonday sun.

When you want to show you care just give your hands to love and share.

These trips give students time to get to know one another while learning about marine life, other cultures, and even teamwork!

StabilityWe go together when we go.We two are clearly one

in thought and soul.We're all about passion and temptation.Freedom.He is steady orange

whenever I am the deep blue that swirls through my soul and drips down my cheeks as tears.

We have melted together.And we are eternal,

even while things around us are slipping.The world feels an uneasy

sickness and sliminess that engulfs it and settles in.

Life becomes surreal and it crumbles.Even as life itself comes apart,

we are wound around one another, and we never falter, dip, or sway.

We have stability.We have each other.

Congratulations Sonal and Arvind

You have a rem arkable ability whic you never acknowledged before. I t :

to look a t a situation and know w hether you can do it. And I mear

really know the answer.— Carl Frederic]

You both have learned the answer.

We are proud of you both.

Congratulations to

Anne Elizabeth Dowlingfrom your fam ily

Your Dad used to tell young people: "Do what you love, and follow your dreams. B elieve in yourself. With com mon sense, hard work, and a sense o f humor you can do anything." He would also tell them that

nothing is more important than family and friends. As you embark on the great adventures ahead, remember how much w e love you. W e are as proud o f you as your father would be.

215

A R IA ROSE NEMIROAria, whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.

Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.Congratulations from all of us. Your life is now on a sacred journey. Live with intention, play with abandon,

laugh and choose with no regrets.All my love since the day you were born, Dad

Gina, Judd, Ashley, Chad, Shane and Talia d)A O

CCP: (We all know what that means) girls, girls, girls. What crazy times we have had. This kind of certainty comes once

in a lifetime and I cannot bear to think

what next year and the rest of my life will be

like without having you there. You guys have

made these last three years

unforgettable.I love you.

The boys: In between constant beatings and teasings, we have had some good, good times. I will never forget you guys. I will miss you next year.

Amber: "the longer I remember, you're the hardest to forget." -

SAMPLES. Our friendship, our childhood, have meant the world to me ... I could never have made it without you by my side. By the way, you can't jump on that with

shoes on. I love you.

Judd, Ash, Pretty Gibbon: You three have been tough to take but have been the providers for some of the best times

of my life. I love you all.No, none of you can have my room.

Love, The Chosen One

Mom & Dad: Though we have never had a picture perfect family, you guys have given

me the best. I thank you for all the freedom and all the trust. Neither of you hear how much I love you enough. Well, I do.

Christina: What to say to someone I owe my laughter. You opened my eyes and made me see there is so much more. We have grown a lot

from those days of lying to the cafeteria men. I will not say goodbye; this is not the end.

I love you. p y i

216

STAR!

m mYou are so young, so before all beginning, and I want to beg you, as much as I can, [to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because [you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some |distant day into the answer. Resolve to be always beginning - to be a beginner!

ERICYou have gone from

in such a sho rt am ount of tim e.

In the past years you have had many bridges to cross, and you have crossed them with inner strength, confidence and a determined attitude. These bridges are only stepping stones to what the future has in store for you. Through all those years you have been your own person. Don't ever let anyone or anything change you. I can't imagine anything more wonderful or cherished than the memories of your childhood. Playful or serious, you have always brought so much joy to our family. You have made all of us very proud of you, Eric.

Congratulations ... you will definitely fly high!I love you - Your Mom

E R IC ,Most older brothers pave a road for

their younger siblings, but you have done a great job on your own. In your car racing you have shown the greatest attributes an athlete can have. You handle yourself well every time you race, facing the disappointments of failure. When things go wrong you come back and do it again until you succeed.

You're the best brother anyone could have - Remember, life is what you make it and keep the rubber side down.

Your best friend and brother,Brian

To Our Dear Rachel
