Behold the hand, witn tnumo opposed, Maker of tools and complex thought, Every part serves the whole Obedient to a distant ought. pm «

- Galen Brewster

T h e T h r e e H ead s L ow er S chool A lex M c K 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 o f 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.

U pper S chool D exter M orse HAND...Handbag...Handgun...Handcuff, HANDmade...Hand-cream...Handsome...Handful! HANDicap...Handrail...Handhold...Handler, HANDballâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Handjive...Handbill, HANDS-on.. .Hands-off...Hands-round, HANDS-up...Hands-down...Hand-me-down IAND-out...Hand-over.. .Hand-grenade...HANDLESS!

Mrs. Roberts womans the phone in the US office.

Mr. Yeaman helps in keeping our grounds looking great! Mrs. Anderson and Ms. Buettner plan another fantastic event. 14

Ms. Bzdak and Ms. Abbott give greetings to all.

Mrs. Hook takes a moment from her busy schedule to smile at the camera. Mr. Brewster congratulates the famed Chef Ron on yet another gourmet meal.

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. Second Grade 138

Trips this year included Catalina Island Marine Institute for the 8th grade, Tonto Rim for the 7th grade, Canyon de Chelly for the 6th grade, and AstroCamp for the 5th grade. These trips give students time to get to know one another while learning about m arine life, other cultures, and even teamwork! Two eighth grade mermaids pose for a picture.

Stability We 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. -Kristin Stamm 157

Congratulations to

Anne Elizabeth Dowling from your fam ily Your Dad used to tell young people: "Do what you love, and follow your dreams. B elieve in yourself. W ith com m on sense, hard work, and a sense o f humor you can do anything." He w ould also tell them that nothing is more important than fam ily and friends. A s 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.

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 betw een constant beatings and teasings, we have had some good, good times. I will never forget you guys. I will miss you next year.

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.

216

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.

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.

STAR !

You 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! - Rilke's Letters on Love

in such a sh o rt a m o u n t 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 ofyour 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 Congratulations on your graduation day. Your Dad and I are so very proud of you. Our love, support, hopes, and joys will always be with you as you fly off into a new exciting world. P
