A
Senior’s Motivation
During my routine skim through the Central Florida high
school newspapers, I noticed a particularly enlightening
article. Apparently, Keith Bowron, a former senior at
Eustis High School in Tavares, Florida, graduated with
perfect attendance for all thirteen years of his education
in that district. |

God
Bless America…Please!
2004 is nearly three-quarters over and we Americans
find ourselves in a pretty little predicament: things
are starting to suck globally. Our presidential candidates
have the self-restraint of sixth-graders and the memory
to match. |

Homeroom
Frisbee
Metaphysical tumbleweed slowly rolled across
my path as I walked toward the Intramural Frisbee fields.
It was the dusty brown kind that never stops rolling until
it hits a chain link fence. Suddenly, freshmen stopped
to stare. The sun continued to stare. Mr. Arguello, with
a smug grin, had proudly connected his left index finger
to his thumb and crossed his hands across his chest: 305. |

Life
Teen gears up for new changes
The Catholic Church is gearing up for changes
in the Life Teen Mass that will affect thousands of
faithful teens across the nation. The changes come as
a result of Church’s decision to ensure that the
Life Teen Mass fully adheres to the revised General
Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM). The GIRM provides
specific instructions concerning the proper celebration
of Mass. Pope John Paul II released the newest version
of it in 2000 that affected all liturgies. |

The
Institution of Education
In
a classroom, sitting as they want us to sit; staring as
they want us to stare; focusing as they want us to focus.
The architects, those great designers of the classroom
and the prison, are wondrous in their efficiency. The
power of the room: all of the desks facing the same way,
all of the chairs making it uncomfortable to look in any
other direction but ahead. For a student’s whole
attention has to be on the teacher. I wonder ay him who
was of such a mind that could design such an efficient
mechanism for learning, such an effective means of control. |
