THANK YOU !


It has been my privilege to be your teacher. Moreover, I have learned from you and hope you leave junior year with some ideas that will empower you in the future. Remember :"salus populi est suprema lex." That water bottle will break; even at the time you may think it is unbreakable. Let us recall we are in the holy presence of God. Live, Jesus in our hearts,forever. Vox....

One of our heroes is Ausitin Meehan. Never forget where he came from, what he fought for and what he represents. His story includes imigration, religious persecution, a fight with Robber Barons and the evils of laissez-faire capitalism. His story is closely connected to the rise of unions, collective bargaining and ultimatley, the American Dream.

THE CENTER

The following thesis was used many times: "The Black man is the center of U. S History." Indeed, the African- American illustrates the quintessential struggle for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
















RICE MEN are not the the pulmo marinus that was spoken of by Socrates. We reject being the blocks, the stones and less than senseless thing from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar." We ran in Central Park to end world hunger and make a difference!
