DROWNING Evan Johnston

Perched on the ledge of the tattered boardwalk I glance down at the midnight ocean as waves crash into the surrounding rocks. My thoughts wade in the deepening water as they slowly sink farther and farther still, quiet (Drowning.) still, quiet trapped in the depths of my mind, caught in the foundation of my thoughts, I reach up to surface, looking for a glimmer of moonlight to grab. Perched on the ledge of the tattered boardwalk, Waiting for something to drag me out of the water.

MANY, MANY THANKS TO:

Ms. Copeland for the tremendous amount of effort and care and time that you have put into helping us create this magazine. Your patience, dedication, passion, and perseverance are truly some of the only reasons that we were able to get to where we are today. Your advice was and always will be invaluable, your positive outlook and drive to get things done, unforgettable, and the work that you put forward for the magazine, deserving of more thanks than can be put on this page. Thank you.

Dr. Coleman, Ms. Palmer, and Ms. Culbertson for your never-ending support and encouragement for the creation of Vibrato.

Melanie Hamil at Impact Graphics and Printing for always being an email or a call away, (even when those emails come late at night), and for finding a way to make our vision of Vibrato become a reality.

AP Art Students, this magazine would be nothing if not for the endless supply of work that you provide us with. Thank you for allowing us to storm the studio and abduct all your artwork. You guys are amazing.

Everyone who submitted because this magazine would literally be nothing if not for the courage that many of you had to submit your original creations. We got so many submissions this year, and every single one of them was fantastic.

Vibrato is a magazine that exhibits the art, photography, literature, and film of Hockaday’s Upper School Student body. Students submit their original work to the magazine. Then, together, the Vibrato staff reviews each piece we receive anonymously, carefully selects pieces to include in our publication, designs the spreads, and distributes the magazine. As you venture through this year’s magazine, we hope that you approach each piece with an open mind and a genuine sense of curiosity for the meaning hidden within each priceless work. Bask in the creativity of the future writers, artists, photographers, and film makers of this generation. Enjoy.
