2000 By: Paul Kowalski

Do you remember where you were when the Allies swept over Europe and deelared the end of World War II? When Kennedy was shot? When Neil Armstrong became the first human to step onto the moon? Were you one of the 73 million that tuned into the Beatles playing Ed Sullivan in 1964? All were brilliant times, but none belonged to us. The mere exist ence of such questions implies something collectively passive about my generation, and it irritates me. I feel as though we are lagging behind our parents and grandparents in the amount of meaningful contributions to the millennium that we have seen end. Where are our frontier expansions? Who are our own respected leaders, entertainers, and heroes? When will we see our own version of a suffocating but rejuvenating war that is just the stimulus we need to awaken us from our capitalist and materialist slumber? What do we hope to gain from four hours of AOL Instant Messaging and Internet chat rooms every night, functional apathy and a constantly declining need to think for ourselves? As we sit and ponder how mean ingful the acquired ability to boast to our children that we lived in two different millenniums is, and to say that we partici pated in the largest global fireworks display this planet has ever seen, we look back upon a select group of students in our infinitesimal niche of this shrinking planet and ask them the question that all of us currently living will surely be asked in our waning years, a suitable brand ot the longevity of our calendar as opposed to our own stellar achievements: where were you on the night of December 31 st, 1999? There were some who spent their festivities trying to convince others that the real commencement of the new century and millennium will happen next year. (Lucky class of 2001). Others sold all their earthly possessions and relo cated to Jerusalem only to be disappointed when the Second Coming had in fact been delayed until the next thousand years, while still more saw the close of 1999 as God’s “end of days”, and a new era in which Satan would have his 2000 year turn as Lord of the Universe. But the majority of us either did something completely outrageous, i.e. “once in a

lifetime”, or stayed home and did something intimate with family or friends. David Hendler, with his parents and PC sophomore sister, Beth, made the 24-hour flight to Australia for three weeks of sightseeing and entertainment. After time in Sydney, Melbourne, the Outback, and scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, the Hendler’s settled on a remote location off the eastern coast of the continent, Hamilton Island, where they would celebrate the coming of the New Year/Century/Millennium. After having a lavish Aussie dinner with his family, Dave spent the rest of the night out in the island streets with the chef who cooked him his dinner. “There were over 5000 people at the street parade,” says Dave, “it was pretty crazy.” The last few things Dave remembers from the night was watching (as I myself did on the other side of the world) the millennial sunrise over the ocean, and meeting a very nice young native lady of whom he was particularly fond. Unfortunately, his departure from the island meant the end of that relationship. ‘No worries’ Dave, I’m sure there will be plenty more of that in college. Senior football captain Javier Cheng spent the big night more privately— locally with family. Javi went to South Beach, a popular weekend getaway for Pine Crest Seniors, with PC graduate and brother, Jorge. Along with a widely televised fireworks display over the beach, and the sounds of many artists like the Gypsy Kings, Blondie, and others playing late into the night, one of Javier’s most memorable moments was counting down with his brother while watching the ball drop in Times Square on a gigantic TV screen. Despite having a great time, Ch-Cheng wishes he spent the festivities in his homeland. “For New Years in Taiwan they had a huge kissing competition,” reveals Javier. As I watched hourly CNN broadcasts of memorable festivities from around the world - from Australia, Tokyo, Moscow, Greece, Egypt, Israel, Paris, London (the best of the bunch), and Hawaii - 1 witnessed the first truly global event in the history of mankind. I felt a human unity unhin dered by religious, cultural, or governmental restrictions that only impede peace and a more social world. I saw the threat of Y2K embarrassingly wither away (similarly to my earlier cynicism), and our blue dome, home, prevail.

After the rain comes the sunshine. After nine months of Pine Crest comes the sacred summer slum ber. Most students tend to think of their own exist ences in terms of summers, and not school terms—no obligations, no choices, no weight of expectations, no need to conform to the socializing of institutions; only freedom. Freedom includes the earned right to spend three months in front of a television, or at the beach, but it also entitles people to actively pursue the adven tures they have been putting off during the school year. Many use the time to travel. Two summers past, Kristin Ragland made a family excursion to Kenya. After a brief tourist stint in the city, she moved on to Samburu where she experienced a game drive every sunrise and sunset for four days. She later commented on the unique privilege of experiencing animals in their natural surroundings as opposed to in the captivity of American zoos. Next on her agenda was visiting Massai Mara and being immersed by the Massai tribe culture. Somewhere amidst all of Kristin’s traveling, she also had the opportunity to meet Jane Goodall and even sit next to her at dinner. Kristin described the experience as captivating and life changing. Goodall’s enthusiasm and eccentricity in her fireside story-tell ing was especially directed at the younger travelers on the trip, “for nature and animals must always be passed into the care of another generation of humans, and edu cating the young is the key to preventing needless, ig norant destruction.” Indeed, the quintessential aspect

of experience in life is rampant in the novelties a sum mer can deliver. A person who knows only his own culture defies the very nature of his existence. Travel is an opportu nity to see how the other half lives, and should be taken whenever possible. This past summer I spent a month of my freedom in Earl’s Court, London, visiting friends and soaking up the city’s vibrancy. Not only did I wit ness the Trooping the Color, a public celebration of the Queen’s birthday, and the Windsor wedding of Edward and Sophie, but one crisp Monday afternoon I also found myself in the middle of an anti-capitalist riot in Trafalgar Square. Leaving pomp and circumstance behind in early June, I flew to Roskilde, a tiny town ju st outside Copenhagen in Denmark. The town is the site of the largest annual rock festival in the world. A four-day long 70,000-person orgy of sound and culture, this fes tival played host to the likes of Molotov, R.E.M., Marilyn Manson, Jello Biafra, Metallica, Ministry, Robbie Wil liams, The Chemical Brothers, Suede, and Blur to name but a few bands. After pitching tent on Thursday after noon and listening to the bands play for four days on one of the seven stages at the festival, on the final night campers pay homage to the Gods of Rock by setting everything in sight on fire. Unlike the violent and inanely run W oodstock disaster in the summer of 1999, the Roskilde Festival is a peaceful and successful gathering of a large quantity of people who merely seek good music and a good time. If next year’s festival is anything like

the last two, I won’t regret having already purchased my ticket for Roskilde 2000. For some, summer is not associated with relaxation and lounging, but hard physical work and discipline. Close ► friends Adam Bender and Dovi Sacks spent seven weeks ' enrolled in a program with the Israeli Military, where they were stationed in bases and hostels all over Israel. Their decision to participate was primarily “to bond, and shed persuasive materialism while espousing spiritual fulfill ment.” As well as undergoing vigorous combat training, the two also had time to delve into nightlife and recreational activities at offer. One Friday night Sacks and Bender hit Renana’s renowned Club Doojit located just outside Tel Aviv. After the love-hungry soldiers received countless rejections by every single woman in the nightclub, the de jected duo discovered it was a gay/lesbian night at the club. In another memorable incident, Sacks repelled down a 250 meter cliff alone. Since he had missed the instructor’s tuto esav: rial and handing out of helmets and gloves to the other 24 participants, Dovi lost his footing and tumbled down the are I precipice somehow managing not to crack his skull open. The entire group ran to the edge thinking he had plunged to io p his death, while Bender, M -16 slung over his shoulder, stood M ta i

How can one break from a free exist ence of tasting the perpetual encountering of previ ously not experienced elements of life to return to mundanity? Through the years I have learned that somehow the way to enjoying the often very banal nature of restricted learning is to blur the lines di viding summer and school, in order for life to be come an endless summer.

Every four years, the American public does the unthinkable... it takes a keen interest in national politics - most notably the race for the White House. Candidates traverse mile upon mile of our vast countryside, courting one voter and constituency after another. Not only must a viable Presidential candidate compete with the mud-slinging attacks of rival parties and the baggage of his (and soon her) own party, but with fighting between candidates of the same party - all vying for the prized nomination. In the end, each party picks a candidate, and these bold individuals sacrifice life and limb for the highest office in our nation. Making the “cut” is much more intense than even that of a championship NBA team - one man, one team, 260 million judges. Every four years, Pine Crest brings the quest for the American Presidency home for a day. This year, on February 18lh, 2000, the third Pine Crest Mock Presidential Nominat ing Convention came to fruition - the product of months of preparation and planning. Repli cating the national nominating conventions of the major parties - a tradition started with Andrew Jackson in the bloom of America’s youth - the mock convention was laden with pomp and ceremony, while it provided a di verse political education. This year - in keep ing with tradition - we selected a Republican convention, as the race for the party not cur-

/ARY rently in the White House tends to be more interesting. “Interesting” would be downplaying the excitement, in trigue, ferment, and successful tumult of the day. Not only did the 2000 convention feature the main Repub lican candidates, but it experienced some fascinating uproar. Gary Bauer, roll-played by Russell Shattan, stormed the podium despite his earlier drop-out from seeking his party’s nomination. Later in the day, however, in an event destined for the political history books, the great state of California - under the guidance of Mr. Crawford - staged a huge spontaneous show of support for Elizabeth Dole, played by a dauntless Danielle Burgs. With the help of the convention security staff, “Liddy” managed to take the dais for the candidate debates - man aging to give convention winner John S. McCain (a.k.a. Andy Litinsky) a serious run for his money and a second ballot. Yes, you could say that the convention was “interesting”... I prefer insanely and intensely ELECTRIFYING. When the people of the United States turn their attention to the political process and choose their leaders in a system as close to the democratic ideal as humankind may ever achieve, so too do the students at Pine Crest. For the 2000 race for the White House, we hosted our political microcosm in the Stacy Gym - under the guidance of 54 state and territo rial flags and Old Glory’s red, white, and blue. Without a doubt, the patriotic exuberance was powerful, breathtaking, and mood setting. Let the record show, Pine Crest has taken the first step in political efficacy and civic involvement - if only American society as a whole would follow. A special thanks to Mr. Sessman, Ms. Richardson and the entire Institute for Civic Involvement who hosted and spent joyous hours planning the convention, as well as the Convention Planning Committee, the various candidate com mittees, and the entire staff and faculty of Pine Crest. You are the lifeblood of this institution. Good luck, Mr. McCain - make us all proud.

Despite the money that goes into decorating a school’s image, a school remains only as good as its teachers. Without a doubt, the most significant aspect of a learning institution is the interaction be tween the knowledge-giver and knowledge-taker. A single teacher can have the power to jump start a student’s untapped passion for a subject, or simply inspire the student to strive past his expected abili ties. Because it is frequently an extremely underappreciated profession in the world, we have decided to distinguish just a few of the teachers that have become synonymous with the Pine Crest experience. One of the oldest remaining teacher at Pine Crest is Dr. Perez. After earning a law degree in Cuba, Perez fled his native homeland in 1963 and began teaching Spanish at Haverford High School in Philadelphia. In 1969, he kicked off his Pine Crest career, also teaching Spanish at several levels. His most famous student was Kelsey Grammer, to whom he taught Spanish III. Perez has one particularly fond memory of the Fraiser star: “Kelsey had very long hair in my class, and I warned him to do some thing with it or he would get in trouble. The next time I saw him he had his hair tied up and wore a

wig over it so no one would catch him.’’ Dr. Perez is also one of the very few Pine Crest teachers to own a white tie, a tradition that dates back to 1974, when all teachers re ceived commemorative ties. Pine Crest students of the last five years undoubtedly associate Perez with one job more than any other-monitoring the lunch line. “I have been fighting with students in the cafeteria since 1994,” says the self-proclaimed “King of the Caf.” “No, I love working with kids,” jokes Perez. He has become so in grained in the fabric of the school that it would be hard to imagine standing in line waiting for lunch without him telling kids to tuck in their shirts or to “get to the back.” Even his three kids attended Pine Crest. A citizen now, Dr. Perez has been residing in America for over 35 years, and feels his home is Fort Lauderdale. He intends to ter rorize many more generations of Pine Crest students who believe they deserve their lunch faster than anyone else. The dawning of the seventies brought the advent of the eighties, and with it a mathematical genius-”G.I.” notyour-average-Joe, Mr. Gordon Ivanoski. While most of the class of 2000 was being born, Mr. I was starting his still unfolding 18-year long adventure of teaching math ematics to Pine Crest students. Taking one of his classes should be a pre-requisite to graduation. Like a cross be-

tween a macabre humor production, a drunken circus, and a long mathematics seminar, Ivanoski’s classes are always entertaining and relieving in such a stressful area of study. It is unfortunate that so few students lack senses of hu mor, and have half of Ivo’s jokes fly over their heads. From every student who has ever had the privilege of having him as a teacher, I have heard one unanimous cry: “Mr. I rules.” In 1991 a man arrived on campus that truly embod ied the epitome of the well traveled, experienced, modern teacher of the 1990’s. Mr. Rob Crawford, whose life has already been enough to fill four or five existences, has truly done it all. After his graduation from Fort Lauder dale High School in 1979 (where he constantly beat up Pine Crest students that showed up at his parties) Mr. Crawford earned a swimming scholarship at the Univer sity of Southern California. After missing his opportunity to swim in the Olympics as a result of the American boy cott of 1980, Crawford transferred to Washington and Lee University in Virginia to study Asian languages. He spent a year at the Rikkyo University of Tokyo on a Fellowship, during which he traveled all over Southeast Asia, and then enrolled in the University of Washington at Seattle where he received a Master’s Degree in international economics in 1986 and a Law Degree in 1987. While in Washington D.C. presenting a project to the Pentagon, Crawford was approached by an impressed CIA superior, who offered him a position as a Naval Intelligence Liaison to the Na tion Security Council for the Long-range Strategic Stud ies Project. “A big name for a boring job,” says Crawford. After four years with the CIA, Mr. Crawford mysteriously started teaching at Pine Crest. Humbly settled in his place as a social studies teacher, Crawford is in the process of giving back to the community that he has been a part of since his days of swim camp under Jack Nelson. After all, it was on a PC grad night in 1991 that Mr. Crawford met his future wife and fellow teacher Mrs. Crawford, whom he married in 1993. He names Mr. Sessman, another fa vorite teacher of PC students and a seasoned veteran, as his idol: “if I could be half the teacher that Mr. Sessman is, I would consider myself a success,” says Crawford, co sponsor of the Pine Crest Fight Club 2000. It’s not buildings that make schools. It’s not money

that churns out Presidential Scholar after Presidential Scholar and annually sends hun dreds of students off to great universities. Schools are about the teachers and the stu dents. I know when I recall memories of high school ten years down the road, I will think of Dr. Perez sending me to the back of the lunch line on my first day. There’s no doubt that I will recall Mr. I’s geometry class: we had a special bond because the last three let ters of our surnames were “ski” and our fa vorite band was Blondie. It’s all about the teachers, so let’s start giving apples.

Vn-PC —by Paul Kowalski

We watch our favorite actors and listen to our favorite rock starts, and we follow. We see what clothes, what car, what instrument, what philosophy our idols have, and we emu late. We create our perfect woman formed as a result of mental concoctions of millions of perfect tens sprawled out on magazine covers. Our colloquialism is born in worlds far re moved from our own, a product of popular literature, music, and films. Individuals con stantly strive to achieve these illusive materialistic plateaus, and often do not stop to ques tion their validity. But if you look, sound and feel like one of the many, and have no qualms with life, do not fear - you will be safe. There are those, however, who derive no pleasure from being comfortable in their existence. Rather, they desire constant struggle and enjoy activities and styles that are far removed from the norm. They are the genuine few at our school who are often disregarded as strange, foreign or simply not fitting the PC mold, and have spent their high school days quite happily shunned by the masses. Daily clad in raggedy boat shoes and a Hawaiian shirt, Mike Gelety, cofounder of the infamous Cheese Club (with Charlie Honderick and Fuzz), has been PC since pre-kindergar ten. Maybe the anomaly of his contrasting ways is testament to the inborn nature of talent and the artist’s gift, and the nonexistent role environment plays in conforming the individual. Mike plays the trombone, bassoon, piano, and blues harp, but none with as much passion as the guitar. He plays a rare MV Pedulla, and does so at every public occasion possible. Go ing under the names Lumpy Gravy, Rockin’ Rasputin and Blues Bolsheviks, Mike has played classic rock with bassist Mark Cartwright, organist Dave Lammermeier, and drum mer Steve Shannon for almost three years now. The band covers songs from M ike’s favorite acts - the Who, Tower Power, Johnny Winter, and Frank Zappa among others. Perhaps the thing that sets him most apart is owning one of the two cars in the lot that stand out from the others like sore thumbs. “My parents bought the Checker Cab a while ago and it was sitting in the garage,” explains Mike, “’til I fixed it up and started driving it in 10th grade. By the way,” says Mike, “can I use this as an opportunity to say that I’m not from Cleveland?” No problem, Mike. That other car is a white, convertible 1974 Cadillac El Dorado, and its owner is a good

friend of mine - Thomas Leary. In 10th grade Thomas ran for the position of class president, and received only two votes, his own and mine, “It’s weird because everyone came up to me after the election and said they voted for me,” says Thomas, “What liars.” A constant visitor of thrift shops and the Goodwill. Thomas mocks those who spend $50 for Tommy Hilfigger apparel. “I’ve worn these jeans every single day this year,” declares Thomas, “and i don’t care ‘cause they’re comfort able and I don’t have to spend money on new ones.” Thomas’ favorite author is Hunter S. Thompson, and he enjoys reading the long books of history - The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, and philosophy and government Rousseau, Voltaire, and Locke. When asked what he would like to do with his life, Thomas replied, “my dream is to move to the Dalles, Oregon with a mycology degree and live life as a subsistence farmer growing organic food.” Godspeed to you, Thomas. Nietzsche once said “the surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.” History is full of rebels that went against the grain to defy authority and create their own set of rules by which to live. Their findings and set parameters of yesterday are the ways in which we live our lives today. They are always one step ahead of the masses, and are very rarely understood; but they also need the many to allow the few to exist. As they leave the ponds of their youths, remember both these two and the other Un-PCs, for the ripples these kids have created will soon be magnified to consuming tidal waves of created brilliance

Spring Musical

Pine Crest Dorm I have just showered inches away from a naked male body — not mine —enveloped in soap suds. I encase myself in one of the tiny white towels given to us all —a badge of courage on day one — and step into the hall. It is 9:55 p.m., the dawn of a new day. In my room, I rummage frantically through three weeks worth of dirty laundry, struggling valiantly against the cold reality that clothes don’t just become clean with time. As a rancid T-shirt conforms to my torso, I re-enter the hallway. I intend to mingle but a pulsating emptiness instinctively guides my every move. At least fifteen boys pass me —nod, slap my rear. But I don’t see them, I don’t respond. No offense is taken; they see the desperation in my eye —they’ve beent there too. I see only a Papa John’s box —a Parthenon of possibility —resting tantalizingly atop a trash can thirty feet down the hall. In an instant I ’m there. One half a piece of cheese, three half-bitten crusts. Jubilation! I shall not go hungry this night. The place we dormies call home operates by a different set of rules from the outside world. Shower with naked men or go very dirty; eat out of trash cans or go very hungry; make your bed each morning to go very grounded. We are uncouth, unkempt, brusque, and delirious in our fatigue. Tomorrow, I will take two tests, having studied for neither. In one of the thirty-two rooms of our palace, another will take three tests — studied for none. The clock strikes one. I scurry to the TV lounge - join forces with the others seeking empathy. Sportscenter blares, six laps hold open, but unused, texts. In this most tranquil of hours, as the pampered day student, with remnats of lus cious meats and pastries fresh upon his tongue, has been sleeping soundly for hours upon his queen sized bed, we now hit our strides. Teachers, cute girls, cafeteria food -th e elements that control our lives - fall victim to the vulgarities that only sexually frustrated pubescent males with far too much work and not nearly enough will power can express. Tonight, we come to the same conclusion as when we spoke last night —we should have gotten an off campus apartment. But here in our adolescent bitterness, we catch glimpses of each other and we are linked as one —take solace in the knowledge that we are lying to ourselves. We would not trade our parentless plights for a suite at the Ritz. Stitches of a cloth, seeds of a fruit, we have fostered a sense of interdependenc. Tomorrow at school, I’ll wink an eye, point a finger from down a hall, all in wordless reassurance that I know my brothers’ problems, and they mine. No gated community in Boca could ever give us that security. Most importantly, we wake up later than any day student ever could. It is this last thought that sends me off into a deep sleep, my work still unfinished. Four hours and eleven snooze button punches later, I stumble out of bed - hungry, but late for breakfast; exhausted, but blinded by the sun; craving my mother, but hundreds of miles from her. I stumble into the shower toward yet another naked soap-sudded body. Yes, we dormies have each other. As I exit the dorm, my mind racing to designate fifteen minutes study, I turn and look up. My eyes meet the gazes of five classes of graduated dormies, all smiling proudly from photographs. “We showered with each other, too," their eyes tell me. Suddenly I am no longer tired. As I step out of the dorm, I realize that I will soon be exiting for my last time. However, I know that what I have gained here can never be left behind. I am forever a dormie. - D ovi S ack s

One Junior Knows the Truth: ‘T hey’ve landed...they’re here...they’re everywhere...they’re aliens...and they’re Coming Home.” Homecoming. Let’s analyze that for a second. Homecoming. HomeComing. Coming Home. Who’s coming home? And where is home? And am I invited? Can anyone really answer these questions? Not many can because they have been blinded from the truth. They don’t know what homecoming is really all about, the very reason why each student is pumped full of pep, vim, and verve for a full week. It’s the reason why suddenly there can be seen mysterious strangers around the campus that, for some reason, seem to fit in among the teachers with whom they converse. It’s all part of an evil scheme to reprogram fickle minds of the young students at Pine Crest into preferring the cold walls of the school to the warm surroundings of home, and the company of the faculty to that of their own parents. They’ve landed...they’re here...they’re everywhere...they’re aliens...and they’re Coming Home. It starts with an announcement in the Morning Notice. It says, “Get ready! Homecoming week is on its way!’’ Everyone shudders at the thought of Homecoming week. Sure, you think the shuddering is from excitement, but no! It is fear —the very essence of fear, gift-wrapped and delivered in a tight little package! Next, they start with the mind controlling devices, the most potent and powerful of which is housed in the studio of PCTV. You are convinced by an alien imposter posing as a faculty member to dress in the traditional garb of the alien cult. It sounds fun, doesn’t it? Real tempting, huh? You have no idea who or what you’re dealing with. So, you’re sucked in with the masses. You don your new apparel and begin Coming Home week. You can’t help it - they’re controlling you. But you’re probably wondering just who “they’ are and what “they” look like. They answer is “they” are the mysterious strangers on campus that look like ordinary people. I’ve watched them as they talk to each other. They seem to be reminiscing about memories passed, but they are really communicating with each other. They choose human forms that are familiar to the faculty, such as students that graduated years ago, so that the teachers won’t be suspicious. They all come together at the big football game to watch the players and witness the results of the experiments. Just look at their faces, at how pleased and proud they look. It’s sickening to think about. But at least everyone is cheery. And the week is over, so they must be going home, right? Wrong, sir, wrong! They’ve performed all these tests and collected all this data, and you think they’d just up and leave? You fool! It is time for the final procedure of the experiments —the cataloguing. And it happens at the Coming Home Dance. As you, the subject, enter into the space pod that they have disguised to look exactly like the gym nasium, a combination of high-frequency music, light, and an instant laser projection of a specific image all hit your senses simultaneously. The image is forever embedded into your subconscious. I asked a certain Z. Nagpal, an attendee of the dance, his thoughts on the evening. He was, to say the least, mind-numbed by the experience, saying, “It was alright, I guess.” Hopefully you won’t need solid evidence to believe me, or evidence at all for that matter. At least now you know the truth.

Cinderella

Every year it begins the same way. The anticipation of the cast lists, fol lowed by the demanding rehearsal schedule. We begin dedicating our Saturdays to the ballet beginning in early September, dancing from nine in the morning until four or five in the afternoon. Each year the complaints are inevitable...“My feet ache,” “I have no tim e,” “W ait, I don’t remember anything from last week.” Yet every year we dancers willingly rejoin the production. There is a bond formed between us — one of dedication, hard work, and friendship. This December, our efforts paid off when we saw the smiles on the faces of the young children from Floranada Elementary and Kids Connect, and when we heard the audience’s roaring applause when we finished our variations. Each year, Mrs. Gooden manages to produce a ballet that casts everyone that wishes to be in cluded, and without the intense dedication, the long hours, and the grey hairs of Mrs. Gooden, Mrs. Sorren, and Mrs. Haley, our production would never be possible. After seven long years of hard work, my ballet career at Pine Crest comes to an end. I will never again enter onto our stage in pointe shoes to perform. As the curtains closed for the final performance of Cinderella, I wanted to both celebrate the end of the rehearsals and muscle aches, and also cry for it to begin again. Over the years, the ballet has become a part of me that I will never forget, and never outgrow. From the friendly slaps to each others’ derriere, to the resouding music in the dance studio, I will always cherish the memories of all of the productions. Thank you to the cast, Mrs. Gooden, and our audience for allowing me to feel the magic every year. - Josephra Fleming

In the drama, Berenger witnesses the transformation of his friends and acquaintances into rhinoceri.

Seniors of the class of 2000 were once the young and hyperactive children their parents remember. We were the

Way the future of America was imagined to be. And then the inevitable happened.

We grew up, and became the slightly older hyperactive children, our parents pretend they don’t know. We

Were children then, but now we have matured... Well kind of.

I He. N ew/ “C l a r -C I^E-Nt Its a bird, it’s a plane. No I think not. It’s the new Dean of Students, Mr. David Clark. Of all the new changes during the 1999-2000 school year, Mr. Clark’s presence seems to be the most apparent and significant change. As he walks through the halls, students quickly glance at him then check themselves to make sure that they are in dress code. Although Mr. Clark knows he has authority over everyone, including the JUNIORS, he stresses that he is here to help, aid, and en courage student growth. That is, after all, his job description. Yet some students feel the need to reject authority. One junior sumed it up as “He pretends to be your friend and then gives you a work detail". Although Mr. Clark vehnemly denies the friendship/detention attack, he does concide to the increase in work details due to his dealings. In general, the JUNIOR class as a whole has responded to Mr. Clark’s position with reserved feelings. Mr. Clark’s rebuttal includes his persistant stand that he is here for the students and he will do what ever possible to help them. But., he finds no remorse for students that con tinually are repeat offenders. Although he wants to be your “friend”, consider him as a strict parent when you intentionally break the Pine Crest system of buearocratic rule. With every negative, there comes a reverse. John Koury feels “He is doing his job for what he was hired for and he’s much more sympathetic to what the students request than Dr. Huebsch or Mr. Turner. In conclusion, JUNIORS beware. We still have one more year.

THOSE AWFUL, ANNOYING, CRAZY, CONFUSING EXASPERATING PRE-TEEN YEARS e rH o w Parents do have a whole lot to say On topics like our independence. They proceed to recite every nit-picky fault How we're vulgar, stuck- up, and horrendous!

vcz

"You are touchy, obnoxious, quite choosy and And have no respect for higher stations; Oh so lazy, uncouth, ill-tempered, and crude, You don't understand most situations! "Rude, immature, self-centered, and mean Right now you're not really existing! You are simply a phase that will hopefully pass And then they go on with the listing... "Your dress is so queer and your hair colors change Every day it's a different expression!' Plus screaming and kicking are not proper ways To let out one's bottled aggression!" But what do they say when we slyly bring up Some stories of their youthful rages? Well they cough and they grunt and turn three shades of pink and stop talking about our strange ages! ^

e e t O ur N ew est Additions A brief biography of Mr. Henehan, Mr. Prignoli and Mr. Clark by Lara Collazo A young Boston boy sits in his seventh grade English class, readily absorbing the fascinating lesson. His Irish heritage is the cause of the boy’s love for English literature and language, and as he ponders insightful words, he realizes with certainty that he wants to be an English teacher. Further north, in New York, a five year old boy packs his bags as he prepares to make the biggest move of his life. He and his family are moving to Spain. Puerto Rico and Florida would eventually follow. In Florida, a young boy attends school where he is characterized as that “friendly guy who is in everyone’s clique.” With an unsupportive father but a dedicated mother, the boy pushes himself hard in school and on the football field during sixteen years and over two hundred games, always relating to others’ problems.

Years Later: Our Boston boy has fulfilled his dream. He is a promi nent professor at MIT where his passion for words is making him well-known, particularly for his astonishing ability to

help students improve their essay writing. The traveler from New York has finally settled down after brief stints as a reporter and a French teacher. Ready to start his new career as a Spanish teacher, he has stopped in Florida. Having attended Dartmouth, contributing actively at Ransom Everglades School and rejecting the opportunity of being a calendar model, the native Floridian waits for his opportunity to branch out in education and spend more time with his family.

Millennium Year - Pine Crest: This is the location where our three subjects converge. Mr. Henehan, the Irish Bostonian, teaches sophomore and senior English where he strives to perfect tech nique. Mr. Prignoli, the wandering Spanish teacher, instructs Spanish Literature and Conversational, where his passion for the language is evident. Mr. Clark, the math teacher, assumes the role of dean of students as he becomes a daily feature in most students’ lives. The new teachers bring variety and uniqueness to the Pine, Mr. Henehan with his undiscovered singing talents, Mr. Clark with his aversion to frogs, and Mr. Prignoli with his Marvin the Martian collection.

I am an Assassin. This is what I do and who I am. When people see me. they characterize me with the jo b I hold; I am an Assassin because o f my position on the team. I have been a Dawg, part o f the Pit, and could be part o f the A ir Force; but this season Fm proud to be an Assassin, a strong, persistent, and indomitable part o f my high school's football team. We A ssassins work in conjunction with three other groups, the Dawgs, the Pit, and the A ir Force. The Dawgs, or defensive backs, take pride in their name and have a custom to bark like such every time they enter the field. The Pit is composed o f the offensive and defensive linemen. These are the backbone o f any football team, and they know how important they are. These guys always walk with their heads up and chests out because they are proud o f the fa c t that they are linemen. The A ir Force is composed o f the receivers. This is a brand new name that originated due to a recent change in the team's offense, a combination o f young yet talented players. The team has also recently gained two new receivers and a passing quarterback. The coaches realized the strength we had in the “a ir ” and adopted the offense to take fu ll advantage o f the newfound p o t o f gold. Before every game, each group gets together in its huddle. Each Assassin, Dawg, A ir Force and Pit m em ber com m unicates his thoughts and inspirations and breaks out o f the huddle with a shout o f his group’s name. I fe e l pow erful coming out o f the linebacker huddle screaming “ASSASSINS, ” everyone within hearing range turning his head to see who ju st screamed with such security and fearlessness. Every fo o tb a ll team has its traditions—m y favorite one is giving nicknames. Among these are Fueagle, Mook, Chacha, Juice, Rip, Peanut, Longers, SOB, DD, Stubs, and Wags. I never really had a nickname until I joined the football team. M y name is Apolo, ju s t like the Apollo from the movie "Rocky, ” except with one “I"; the players realized the connection and now Fm known as Creed to all my teammates and coaches. This nickname is used so often that an eighth-grader once asked, “Hey, Creed, w h a t’s your first n am e?” Nicknames are an extension o f o n e ’s personality. During school, these nicknam es are seldom used, but once we are on the fo o tb a ll field, not one birth name is used. In football, la m not Apolo; I morph into Creed, a linebacker who wants to prove him self constantly trying to improve his skill in order to build a better fo o tb a ll team. Once Apolo becomes Creed, or David, Juice, or Rohit, Rip, we change. A different person comes out o f the inside and takes over fo r the next two hours, a person who can w ithstand the pain o f running into linemen, twisting ankles, bruised arms, and sore muscles. All because we made a com m itm ent together, not to ourselves, but to each other, a com m itm ent to football. -A p o lo Rizk

w ill not hesitate to say we have a few superstars on our team; no seven-foot am azons or brick w alls for blockers, but we have what it takes to trium ph—we have heart. A prid e in ourselves and the team drives each and every one of us to give nothing less than our personal best. Volleyball is a gam e o f faith ; each p la y er must trust the other to make a g o o d pass or set so that an explosive attack can result. Trust is the sole force holding a team together and carrying it to the top. One o f the ch ief reasons we are such a strong pow erhouse is that we p la y every’ gam e as a team, and we understand that each and every p la y er has a certain asset to contribute to our success. On and o ff the court, we respect, help, and encourage each other, which fu rth er stim ulates our undeniable com raderie. W hether it is Alison's rather unique ace cheers, D ian n a’s characteristic grunt, D a n ielle’s “steady ” ball control, or Caryn's p ra ctica l jokes, it is the com bination o f all the gifts each o f us have to offer that makes the Panthers the winning team that they are this year. There is more, much more, underlying the spiff}' uniforms, pretty girls in spandex, and 28-8 record that goes into making this team so rem arkable: a common goal to give it our best shot. We p la y each gam e as though we have nothing to lose, and figh t our hardest to show we have what it takes to be champions. A ll too soon our days o f glory w ill com e to a close, but until then, the thrill o f the game, the bond o f the team, and the rewards o f the experience fill the Panthers with the w ill to win and the exhilaration to fig h t till the end. --Kim Straub

Michael Averett seems to be a little distracted during Coach Fitzgerald’s pep talk.

He was alm ost bo m to swim, as it may have seemed. From the early days he lived in what seem ed to the small boy a giant mansion, and later in his life the house outside o f his high school. There has always been a constant in his life, a swim m ing pool. At his early age when he could not even walk, he craw led alongside his father, a swimming coach o f real talent, on the poo! deck. With the occasional slip o ff the side, he would start to race with the national champions, world or Am erican record holders, and even Olympic gold m edal ists. Then later moving to California he began his competetive swim team experiences, always in the presence o f champions and role models. Later with yet another move before the age o f fifteen, this one a physical as well as a m ental one, he would come to a place where it would soon be his time to become the role model. M oving from state to state, poo! to poo! before his high school days could begin, he had gathered many experiences on how to act, and o f course, how to swim, and swim well. Ryan had learned so much from so many people. He didn ’t know it at the time, but while he was taking an active part in his swimming, he was also taking an active part in his destiny. The fa c t that he went to swim practice almost every day did not seem to be a task, as such, but more so an experience. The poo! deck would eventually turn into his sanctuary. It was a place where he went and could fe e l no sorrow or regret. With superstars all around he would take little bits and pieces fro m each one o f their personalities and assim ilate them into his own. With influence from the National Champion, he learned that

to obtain great things one m ust p u t fo rth great sacrifice. This would turn out to be a valid lesson f o r the young lad, as later noticed by his father. The father, being the coach, noticed his son had a control that fe w possessed, the ability to accept pain but not defeat. Ryan gave whatever was needed to reach / the goal o f greatness; this would head to his own leadership in the pool. N ot until later w ould he realize that all these things would be parts o f his personality. Once he entered high school he was both a leader in and out o f the pool. Even knowing that with every day came more and more committment, he was relentless in accepting it, if not relishing it. He would put fo rth the effort in everything he did I knowing that i f he did not, somewhere else there would be someone who did. It did him no good to be the greatest if his peers were not great with him., so he encouraged those around him. Every day he started off'enthusiastically, not knowing why or when others were dull and fatigued. One could tell this undertaking was the one thing Ryan had loved fo r m any years. Swimming was his life. -R y a n Fitzgerald

“The theme this year has been

thinking, and I’ve seen

improvement from the beginning of the season to the place we are now. The key to SUCC6SS in districts and states will be how much we think about the d e ta ils of our races on a daily basis—and then when we get to a meet the p C rfo iT T lcin C C will be automatic.” -Coach Jay Fitzgerald

Upon mentioning to my peers that I am a member of the varsity golf team , reactions am ong them have ranged from disbelief to sheer laugh ter. Unfortunately the disbelief is not Below: RJ Scott pauses for that of surprise towards the fact that I. a moment of meditation on a five-foot-nothing, one hundred pound kid, am on a varsity team, but rather one the green. of surprise that there is actually a golf team. Right: The boys enjoy Questions along the lines of, some team bonding. “Isn’t golf a sport for me exclusively over seventy?” and “Is golf even a sport?” usually arise after their rather disheartening reac tions. Well folks, not too many seventy-year-old men can haul a green bag with fourteen clubs in it for 3500 yards, and yes, we do break sweats. Most humans, besides curlyhaired Canadians, would probably break an immenese sweat if they had to haul a bag 3500 yards in the florida sun. Some even hypothesize that golf is actually a dif ficult sport. They state that it’s not easy to hit a tiny ball to a twenty-yard target area while swinging one hundred miles per hour at it. In addition, in this wimpy sport, there’s no blaming your stinky performance on someone else. That’s right; if Harry Hacker goes out and shoots fifty-five, he’s just plain terrible. Harry can’t blame his horrendous show ing on that lousy offensive line or on a lousy call from the officials; in fact, he can’t even blame it on that lousy putter that’s snapped in two or on an obnoxious crybaby he played with in the last tournament whose last name rhymes with Rickey. In a nutshell, the pressure is immense. If Harry shoots a bad score, he will not be wearing that cool green flowered Pine Crest shirt on the next game day; instead, his name will be on the good old annoying exhibition list for the next match. An even worse scenario occurs when Mr. Hacker playes ambarrassingly lousy and a thrid of the team plays even worse that him putting his beautifully high number in the next day’s Sun-Sentinel. Despite all of these difficult obstacles, boys golf is still pretty cool. Our practice routine includes getting in your car, going to the golf course, hitting golf balls, get ting back in your car, and going home. We don’t even wake up in the morning sore from practice! In fact, some shrewd players don’t even go to golf practice at all; they simply show up at matches. I’d like to see Coach Flynn’s reaction to a player requesting never to go to football practice but wanting to be the starting quarter back in every single game. Thinking along the lines of football, a true golfer can never forget to write about the physical strength of his fellow team members. W e’re buff and proud of it. Behind those men’s medium polo shirts is a body defined with large pectoralis muscles that develop from hauling those green bags around, and right by the end of the sleevs of those interesting polo shirts are forearms the size of a sprinter’s calves. With our large muscu lar physique, we are thus able to slap those balls a long way and smash other teams into the ground. We get riled up; we have our little pep rallies on our way to matches as Coach Tinsley is flooring it at forty on our “perfectly clean” yellow bus. Unlike some other sports teams this year, the golf team actually has been having a winning season and has a pretty good shot at sending the entire or at least part of the team to the state tournament. Golfers are cool, buff, and bold. Who else besides a varsity golf player would have the guts to wear those green flower shirts with a school name on them? by Brad Gross

24 Years at Pine C rest Nadia: Mrs. Birr, what is your favorite grade to teach? Mrs.Birr: Well Eve always enjoyed teaching the Seniors. They are always the most mature not to mention the fact that they are getting ready to enter the real world, life. I enjoy having the ability to prepare them for college.

Josephra: Did you always enjoy English? Mrs.Birr: Ever since I can remember English was my favorite subject. All throughout high school and even college, I’ve loved English.

Nadia: What has been your favorite topic to teach or read? Mrs.Birr: I’ve most enjoyed teaching Hamlet. Josephra: How long have you been at Pine Crest? Mrs.Birr: I’ve been teaching here since 1975. I began as a substitute, but in 1976,1 became a full time teacher here.

Josephra: Do you enjoy being head of the Englilsh Department? What are your responsibilities?

Mrs.Birr: Well, most of all, I make sure the we are up to date with what we are teaching. I coordinate the teachers’ programs such as literature, grammar, and vocabulary. I am also responsible for finding good teachers for the department as well as to evaluate the teachers once they’ve began teacher here. It’s almost like having an extra class only rather than students it’s of teachers.

Nadia: What are your words for the future for the Class of 2000 and the other students?

Mrs.Birr: Attitude not apptitude determines your altitude—that’s why bees can fly.

Mrs. Birr aides student Alissa Akins in augm enting her attitude and apptitude so that she can heighten her altitude.

O ur Favorite teacher, Mrs.Brogan, helps a student w ith his literature.

Reflections on Mrs. Brogan It was not until I came in contact with a remarkable teacher that my outlook on life was changed for the better. We differed in many ways, but it was these differences which began to draw me to her. This lady was like no one I had ever met beforeextremely intelligent, caring, and devoted. After I began talk ing to my teacher, it became much easier for me to relay my thoughts, fears, and ambitions. She was an inspirtation to me and a perfect example that an individual could make a differ ence by getting more involved and setting an example for oth ers. I firmly believe that it was through this teacher’s sensitiv ity, understanding, and desire to teach that I have become a bet ter person. For this, I am eternally grateful to her.

Students carefully listen to

Mrs.Crawford w hile she assists them in understanding their literature book.

Language for Everday Use The underestimation of McDonald’s as thought-harvesting sanctuary was common to me till one fine day. My family and I walked into McDonald’s, pondering upon what meal we would dine upon that evening. Once all of us were decided, we proceeded to order, each stating that night’s preference. The orders were taken, and we waited for our freshly synthesized food. To our dismay, however horrible yet expected, our order was undeniably messed up. There were extra fries and blatant lacks of milk shakes, complete chaos, etc. My father heroically seized control and attempeted to explain the problem to our attendant. Unfortunately, our attendant was not fluent in English or Spanish and we were left gesticulating wildly and pointing accusingly at certain foods. As I sat there, dunking my chicken McNuggets into strategically engineered contain ers of Sweet-and-sour sauce, I couldn’t help but replay the situation in my head at that very moment, illuminated by buzzing flourescent lights, crowned in a swiveling plastic chair, feasting on exotic foods, I became aware of the importance of languages and how they affect everyday life. In today’s world, everyone is looking to create an impression— to project themselves in the quickest most efficient way possible. The most direct and used form of expression is language. There is power in beling able to use lan guage intelligently and comfort ably. Upon mastering a second language, one finds that several doors open in expression’s infinite hallways. In addition to communi cation within new cultures and groups of people, the mastery of a foreign language allows for the intrinsically satisfying knowledge that one can share their thoughts successfully in more than one language. Initially, learning a second language may seem some what impossible, but the benefits are worth the effort. In any organi zation or group of people, communtication is essential. By knowing more than one language one expands the boundaries of Parle

communications in such situations. An extra language is becoming more of a necessity in the the work-place as the increase in diversity demands. In addition, the learning of a new language often is accompanied by exposure to new cultures and therefore fuels the curiosity to expand one’s own perspective. Familiarization breeds contentment; therefore, the more familiar we become with other cultures, the more accepting and embracing we will be of them. Knowing the importance of languages in today’s interconnected world, I encourage those interested to take up learning a new language and reaping the benefits of doing so. Whether one’s purpose is to intrinsically gratify oneself, to increase one’s power of communication, or simply to order food at McDonald’s learning a foreign language is a worthy and useful project in acheiving one’s goals. —Gustavo Benejam

Dance Etc.

by Gina Epstein A tight knit group consisting of three seniors, eight juniors, two sopho mores, three freshmen, and a separate group of seventh and eighth grad ers. Each year they perform two shows for the Upper School; one in the fall and another in the spring. Although they work hard the dancers have a lot of fun and become almost like sisters. In fact the dancers’ pick secret sisters at the beginning of the year (sort of like a secret santa) that lasts all year round. Throughout the year they give each other little gifts when there is a perfor mance, birthdays, “etc”. At the end of the year they find out who their secret sister is. Along with much dedication and time, all these dancers contribute five community service shows for different places. The dances are choreographed by students and teachers- Mrs. Gooden, Ms. Moss, Mrs. Sorren, and Mrs. Haley. All their hard work pays off with excellent performances that please the entire stundent body. The arts at Pine Crest continue to excel with the contribution of Dance Etc. and all of its surroundings.

The Ramblings of Artist To be an artist is to have a tantrum and get praised for its beauty. Art is intensly personal but also communicative; susceptible to criticism but subjective in its defini tion; beautiful or frightening, humorous or stark. Art is necessary for life and life is necessary for art— life devoid of art ceases to exist, and art cannot thrive in a pure vaccum clear of the imperfections and idiosyncracies of life. The imperfections are what make art art. Abstract and pretentious ramblings aside, art is fun. I’ve done art since I was a small child and will continue to do art until I die. Through art, I can relax and be productive at the same time. Productivity in art is an especially necessary quality for those enrolled in the AP Studio class as I was this year. Drawing, painting, and sculpt ing became more than simple pasttimes as life becomes more like art each day. —Laura Podolnick

Mr. Palmaccio is one of the most intelligent men that I have ever met, as well as one of the most interesting characters. If I were a great author of fiction, I would have written a book containing a Palmaccio years ago. I would then have been shocked to find my character teaching and working in the administrative processes at Pine Crest School. With a slight resemblance to Kramer from the show “Seinfeld,” Mr. Palmaccio (affectionately referred to by a variety of nicknames, varying from

Mr. P. to Master P. to Senor Guapo- the last was my own invention, which I’m rather proud of) is an imposing figure even in appearance. Not a tall or broad man, Mr. P. still manages to invoke respect, even without a grand stature. This genius of a man comes complete with curly black hair, reading glasses which he wears on occasion, a style that brings up memories of the seventies yet shows his pride in his profession and maturity, and a smile that can suddenly beam down upon you like the sun coming out over a stormy day on the ocean. As I grew up at Pine Crest I had heard much about this man from many sources. My seventh and eighth grade teacher of Algebra I and II praised him daily, applauding his brilliance in mind and deed. When I became his student, my fears and expectations were at high levels, and my intimidation was only natural. This class that I had only dreamed about before became a pinnacle of each day’s events. Mr. Palmaccio has a way of spreading a good mood and a love for his work, from the way he calls rain “liquid sunshine” to his dry puns. He uses silly phrases and gestures to bring the subject to life, we could almost see the integrals and derivative signs floating in front of our eyes. My friends would tease me because I wrote down “Mr. P-isms.” Sayings that he uttered became quotes given colorful attention in my notebook. His stories added an interesting edge to the education, and his eccentrically appealing personality added vivac ity to the environment. It was easy to see his love for math and even for us, his measly pupils, in every ani mate move he made. I have always had a sense of awe, admiration, and fear for math. An answer is either right or wrong, and there are only certain ways of seeing it and arriving at conclusions. I am more of an English class person, and adore the freedom that words provide. Mr. Palmaccio’s class did not cure me of my fear, but it did pro vide me with a new view on math. Our class became a thing to look forward to. The same classmates that looked so strange on the first day were the same as those with whom I now laughed and struggled over the Calculus. The same classroom that had looked so intimidating on the first day became a room I now recall with many fond memories. Most importantly, the same teacher I was taught to revere above all else, yet was always terrified to meet, became an inspiration and a daily reminder that there are still teachers who work for love of what they do, and are thus able to spread this love to their students. I doubt if one teacher has ever taught me so much, not only about his designated subject, but also about the way I want to live my life.

A A / j o f o 7 i AAr. S c s s m & n What is tall and skinny, has blonde hair, a mole over its mouth, and is in Mr. Se ss ma n’s office? If you guessed a life-sized Marilyn Monroe cut out, y o u ’re right. Perhaps one of most interesting rooms on campus, it also features semmingly countless mugs bearing various college names, a chess set, the scent of Plol cologne eminating through the air, and wind chimes that ring when the window is open. The plush chair behind the desk that is filled with papers and college recs to be done is decidedly the best place to take a make-up test. But Mr S e s s m a n' s office is only one aspect of the unconventional persona that makes him one of the greatest teachers at Pine Crest. I have never met a man so genuine, honest, and kind. 1 remember the first day of my AP American Governme nt and Politics class and the indroduction he gave to the course. Mr. Sessman spent at least ten minutes discussing why honesty was so important in his classroom, “because how can I have a good rela tionship with someone I cannot trust?” His passion about teaching makes his classroom a the perfect environment. It is truly rare to come across a teacher who loves the material s/he teaches and the actual process of communicating that knowledge to teenagers. Many wonder how Mr. Sessman could have actu ally taught AP History and Government at “those public schools.” One need not look further than the fact it was Mr. Sessman teaching the classes. Give him a room of obnoxious juniors and seniors and he will have all of them engaged in the learning process within minutes. By reading passages from books, asking que s tions, seminar style discussions, and the occasional lecture, Mr. Sessman edifies his class about go ve rn ment. Edward Koch, the former mayor of New York City, once said, “What you see depends on where you sit." From an o ut si d e r ’s perspective, our government class might not even appear to be a class; however, if the ousuder were to take a seat behind one of the desks in 1-205, that perspecti ve would certainly change. While sitting in those chairs, I have learned the basics of government: federalism, seperation of powers, block grants, P A C ’s, campaigning, the media, and political ideology. More importantly, I have learned what it takes to be an informed citizen. The irony lies in the fact that to be informed one need not know every bill passed in congress or even every amend ment to the Constitution. Rather, one needs to engage in meaningful debate about society and political campaigns. One needs to know about the impact the Federalist Papers had upon the founding of America. One needs to know about the Democratic and Republican primaries—not just the main election. Above all, one needs to be in Mr S e s s m a n ’s classes. It is no surprise to me that Mr. S e s s m a n ’s favorite quotation is Mr. K o c k ’s aforementioned insight. Fike every unique and astute person, Mr. Sessman knows the true meaning of education.

Teen C onnect

by Sandra DiCapua

It is our duty as the generation of tomor row “to help alleviate the loneliness of isolated older people in the community,” the generation of today. Teen Connect was formed with this obligation in mind. It was created with the dream that “students, our future leaders, learn about the issues and consequences of aging while expanding their knowledge of social concerns.” Teen Connect helps form a strong bond between older individuals in our neighborhoods and teenagers with the hope and belief that they will make a positive impact on each other and on the community as a whole. It is an otherwise unobtainable experience and opportunity that was created by Alfred Ciffo III, a member of the Pine Crest Community. Together with peers, family, and mentors, he headed the conception of an organization that thrives and will continue to thrive for years to come. Teen Connect was started at Pine Crest, and this program has expanded to two other schools in South Florida. It is the hope of all the members and constituents of this honorable foundation that Teen Connect will provide a way for the elderly to be not only role models to students but also friends and counselors. With much work and a group of participants, Teen Connect has become a vital part of communication and nurturing with elders in our surrounding areas. The way that it works is that a student gets assigned a senior citizen, and he calls them on at least a weekly basis. The conversations may be short or long, and they have to do with anything from background to interests to history. These conversations help form a connection of trust and friendship between the pair. As the relationship continues, an everlasting link is given body to. Both the student and the elderly individual cherish and profit from this union. It is the dream of all who are involved with this magnifi cent organization that this program will better the lives of senior citizens and help the aging process continue with ease.

I’m not exactly sure how I should approach this article. The first thing that comes to mind is the conventional method. You know, I could write about the classes Ms Weiss teaches or how much I learned from her in my year of DevPsych. Somehow, though, I just don’t seem to think that the “conventional” route would do Ms Weiss justice. Those of you who’ve been in one of her classes no doubt understand this. For those of you who haven’t been so privileged, please allow me to explain. My first exposure to Ms Weiss (or Weissy as some affectionately call her) came four years ago in Ethics. Interestingly, Ms Weiss was not actually my Ethics teacher—Mrs. Rosenbaum was—hut one day for whatever reason Ms Weiss was our substitute. I vividly remember her lively voice and em phatic movements as she explained Plato (at one point she was literally jump ing up and down). Strange, right? Not really. It’s just the energy and enthusiasm Ms Weiss brings to teaching. Of course, I didn’t quite understand this at the time, in fact I was shocked and a little scared, but two years later, while taking her DevPsych class, my percep tion of Ms Weiss became a lot more clear. The same energetic style I had found somewhat fright ening in Ethics had me captivated. I remember sitting in her classroom and actually being upset when the bell rang (it’s true). She just has this way of absolutely bringing a subject to life, be it DevPsych, Ethics, or AP Art History. However, to just describe Ms Weiss as a teacher would be reductive and highly inaccurate. Her contributions to the Pine Crest Community extend far beyond the class room, be it by sponsoring Youth Against Aids, one of the more active clubs on campus or by providing a forum for the classical talents of students in the form of Mostly Classical and Mostly Dessert. People always remember the one teacher they had in high school that made a difference, that changed the way they thought. I was fortunate enough to have a handful of such teachers in my time here, and Ms Weiss is certainly among them.

Congratulations, Matthew! You have filled our lives with joy, excitement, happiness and wonder. The strength of our love for you is mirrored in the wonderful man you have become...We are all so proud of you! Once, long ago, you were our baby. Dan, Tim, Mom and Dad used to vie for who would piay with you, laugh with you, and care for you. Sometimes, it’s amazing to us that you are no longer that little kid with the bright smile and boundless enthusiasm. Because then, all of a sudden, you grew up! You set goals and exceeded them...in water skiing, you were at the top of the sport in the entire country. In wrestling, you gave your all. In every situation, you demanded and delivered your best. Matthew, you have such strength, such potential...you are strong in spirit, wisdom, integrity, curiosity and selfassurance. God blessed us with you, Matthew...as you enter this next phase of your life, we hope He will give you as much joy as you have given us. Heart, mind, and spirit, we love you always, Mom and Dad

Skilled in sports ~ deserving praise Trophies for cunning and winning plays

You captured our hearts Chubby cheeks— golden hair... We're filled with pride Bless the love w e all share

Kelly Thompson Mom and Dad: I low can I ever thaks you two for all that you have done for me? There are no words to describe how much you mean to me and how much you guys have changed my outlook on life. If it wasn’t for your warming advice, your constant trust, your freedom to me and the abundance of love that 1received from you, I would have never made it through these tough years. From the times of depression to the times when I have never been happier, you both have seen me through it all. When my worries and problems were so redundant that even I was sick of dealing with them, you two never showed any signs of annoyance over hearing them for that "one last time". 1always felt thal 1 had somewhere to turn to when I was excited, happy, annoyed, angry, upset, or when 1just wanted a friend to talk to. The best advice I ever received came from one or both of you. Home is my favorite place to be because I feel so secure when I am thre. Thank you for always being there for me and always giving me a place to turn to. I love you two so much. 1 hope that 1will be able to make it in college without you guys right by my side to guide me! Thanks for everything. I will think of you always. I love you Both! Kristy and Kile: Thank you two for everything. For always being ready to lend a helping hand. Kris, I am so sorry for all of those years that we have spent at each'other's throats. We could nave spent all of that time bonding with eachother. Thank you for your great advice, and thank you for never hitting me back! I guess we’ll just have to call it even from all the times you tortured me when 1 was too young to hold my own. Elley. way to similar to Kelly to be screamed in the same house! Thank you for joining our family. I don’t know what I would do whiout you as my other sister. I know that I am not always an easy person to handle, and I just want to say thank you for you two always looking past that and putting up with me. My life would not be the same if you two weren't such a big part of it. Thank you for everything! J‘Wanna get fuzzy and watch a movie?" I love you two so much! Grandma:Remember when 1 used to come over to your house with Carrie Haines and harrass you? How can you still love me? We always swore that we would do work, but it never ended up that way. We would run around and climb on everything, and scream and fight...How did you do it? Grandma, you are the Best. I love you so much! 1am going to miss you so much when 1go away to school, but I will always remember to come visit you when 1am down, and I will never forget to make that phone call out of the blue to say hello. You have been nothing but wonderful to me, and your tolerance whenever you come to stay is unbelievable. I am sure I have driven close to a few heart attacks with my screaming and coming home late, but always know that I never meant to scare you or be rude in any way. You are such an important part of my life and 1 don’t know what I would do without you. I love you with all of my heart! My Closest friends: 1have sat down on numerous occasions this year and I have written and re-written this’thing so many times that I developed a complete writing block against what I orginally wanted to say. I guess what it all comes down to is "thank you.” I thought "thank you” was appropriate becasue without you guys by iny side I would never have never made it through this tough adoslescent stage that we must all go through. Over the years 1have watched how certain people become friends with people until the lime ofconveniency is up. and then they move on to a new group. To me that would seem to be the most difficult thing to ever do, yet still 1watch and observe how it is an everyday habit for some. "Thank you" comes fromyou guys never wauling to split up. From you guys never giving up on me or any of our other close friends. We have all formed this sick bond that has gotten so tight over the past years that even 1don’t understand it. We have all branched out, but in the end it turns out still the same, us as a whole family. We have had our share of rough times with eachother, but as the years went by I have noticed that we have all grown up to a certain degree of understanding of eachother. We are all so different.yet we are cut from the exact same mold. We have all learned to deal with our differences and respect the boundaries of them. The ones who aren't irritable and stubborn, coping with the ones who are, and the ones who are so focused that they are impossible to reach. Our different levels or partying and the extent that some of us chose to take them to, and the others who always seem to have to look out for the one’s who are "down." Through the tears and the laughter, and the neverending conversations, we have all learned to accept eachother's faults and make the best of them. Instead of seeing the faults and running away, we all stuck together to form a happy circle in which we can all deal without being unhappy. So "thank you" guys for so much. For sticking by ine through EVERY THING! 1 know it wasn't easy. I am so thankful to have found friends like you. and I hope that we all remain this way forever throughout our lives. I hope that 1have taught you all a portion of what you have taught me. and 1 hope that I was as reliable and dependable as any one of you were to me. You all have changed my life in every way possible and 1 will never forget that or any of you. You guys are my best friends, who have become the best part of my life. I am forever change. Ilove each and everyone of you, and I only wish the best for you in the years to come. KIT. I will miss you guys veiy much and I will think of you as every day passes. Amy. Hey boyfriend. Chill out on the candy, ok? Thank you for the calender! I am AMAZED by you! Kasey, we did it! :) Never forget that you have a TWIN! Camila, Camila! 1 am bored. Play with me! By the way I Tike you better! :) Ryan: what exactly can I write to you? There is so much. 6:31 p.m. You mean the world to me and I hope that I have finally gotten you to see that. You are an amazing person that I was more than lucky to come across. Thanks Jesse! 1 am writing this in October, and there is no way for me to see where both of us will be when theyearbook comes out. Just know that I have always loved you, I love you now and I will love you forever! From the first day we met, we just sort of clicked in the scariest way. I felt that 1 had known you forever. We have definitely had our share of problems, but nothing too big to work out. A little pressure about what’s wrong, and eventually we get there. Sorry for being so stubborn. Anyways, I am sorry for corrupting you into the weirdo that you are, but I guess you can say we are even because you have corrupted me too. :) Whenever you knock on your head, or check your teeth please think of me. I nave no doubt in my mind that we will stay in touch throughout college and be just as close as we are now. You have made such an impact on my life, and I am so thankful for that. Please let people love you for who you are. and don't always look for a way to show them differently. You are not as abad as you come off to be to yourself or to others. You know that I will alwys be here for you so please never hesitate to pick up the phone or some visit. 1have had so much fun with you this year going to Emory, and the Bahamas, and all the trips that we have planned for the future. Who does this? You are the beginning of the end for me! 1 don’t do anything anymore and it’s only October. Anyways, thank you so much for everything that you have ever done for me. You are the love of my life and my best friend! You have made me so happy in every way, I just hope I have done the same for you. You have made me feel like a beautiful person and I can never repay you for that. I hope I was as successful in this relationship as you were with me. You have Forever changed me! I love you more than you will ever know! Good luck in college. You have your clean slate to start anew :) Show people the person you showed me. You will always be a part of my life and you will always be a pan of my thoughts. "No regrets" :) Camila. Camila! Kiss me. Kiss me! By the way, I like you better! PIG with my parents during Irene...ssshhh! Ambien, or Ambium and staying awake...AMAZING! That night, that Kiss! Food fetish.Sushi, sushi, and more sushi...how did you put up with that? Why don't we sleep? I have no answer for that, but 1 love to pull all-nighters and watch the sun rise. And oh yeah. Can we sit and watch the SATRS...It was you who reminded me, and there was no way that I could pass that one up :) I Love You! Forever, your Constant. Octover 17, 1999! Mr. Bodfish: "HI" I hope that I will find another teacher as sweet as you. Thank you for always being so nice to me. I will never forget you, and I will be sure to come visit you whenever I am in town. Enjoy the Chili cook-offs, but not too much i) Thanks for not only being a teacher, but a great friend. Mrs. Brogan: Don't worry I would never forget to bake you up a batch’or brownies. 1will bring you some whenever I am in town, and maybe I will give you the recipe. Good luck with your future classes. I will miss you!

UJe are on the last few p a g e s o f this chapter, and w e haue sau ored e u ery w o rd in the book. The m ain ch ara cter in this sto ry has usually am azed, but on occasion, bew ildered us. She is complex, but stra n gely enough, predictable. She h as freely exerted h er independence, a s w e w ould expect from a y o u n g lady, but h as rarely disappointed. She h as relied on her intelligence and not h er b eauty to ge t w hat she w ants. She is p erh a p s ouerly selectiue in ch oosin g h er friends and endeauors, but is dedicated and loyal to both. She is at times a princess, but is also equally com fortable m ucking stalls.

This Bridge This bridge will only take you halfway there To those mysterious lands you long to see: Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fairs And moonlit woods where unicorns run free. So come and walk awhile with me and share The twisting trails and wondrous worlds I’ve known But this bridge will only take you halfway there The last few steps you'll have to take alone. from A Light in the Attic, by SheI Silverstein

Michael Trust yourself. Continue to follow your instincts.. We will be there for you. Love, Dad, Mom & William

Keep a smile on your face and you will accomplish everything you put your mind to. Good luck in college. We love you! Love, Mom, Dad, Jamie and Jonathan

Dear Alex, Since you w ere a little kid, every time we w ent out, you used to com e up with the sam e question, “Are we there yet?” Our answ er was, of course, always the same, “ Not yet!” Now things have changed and you are a young man. And to that same question, this time we figured that you deserve a better answer, “W e are not there yet, but for you, the first part of your journey has finished and a brand new journey is about to begin! It’s going to be your jou r ney!” Alex, we love you very much. Love, Mom, Dad, Gaby, Vicky, Suzy, and Meow
