We were friends and have grown distant from one another. But it is right that should be so; le t us not dissem ble

and obscure it, as if it were something to be ashamed of. We are ships, each of which has the ir course; our

paths can cross and we can ce lebra te a feast together, as we did — and then the brave ships lay so peacefu lly

in one harbor and under one sun that it m ight seem they had a lready reached the ir destination and both had one

destination. But then the alm ighty pow er of our task again drove us apart, to different seas and diffe rent clim es,

and perhaps we shall never see one another again — or perhaps if we do we shall not recognize one another;

d iffe rent seas and sun have changed us! . . . And so let us believe in our friendship in the stars. — Friedrich

Nietzsche

The eleventh grade at Anglo is well . . . unique. There are twenty five of us, almost all of different nation­alities and cultures. One of our best attributes is our different cultural backgrounds, and abilities to teach one another about them, with a common understand­ing that we are all different. W e all have different personalities, merits, defaults, and we definitely have different senses of humor. We all contribute to the life of our classes, some more than others, and we almost always get along and have a wonderful time.

— Sahlie Endeshaw

T he elevnth grade is a class th a t is d ifferent but m uch the sam e in a way. T he sam e because we are like one big family. From eight fifteen in the m orning until three fifteen in the afternoon we are all together, (except Ita , she comes in late). T hroughout the school year we work together to accom plish m any of our goals. Through the good tim es and the bad, we are always together. This is very im portant to have because, believe it or not, school is your hom e aw ay from hom e five days of the week. To establish such a close relationship betw een your classm ates and keeping it th a t way is very im portan t, because good friends are hard to find.

G uillerm o C artay a Class of 1993

54

In a school as sm all as ours, a class is not usually very diverse (even though we are an in te rnational school). An exception to this is the Class o f 1993. N o o ther class has such a mix of political and social viewpoints. From left-w ing liberals to right wing conservatives: From socialist views to cap ita lis t views; from in tellectuals to athletes. W hile there m ay be certa in “ g roups" who share one view, they are alw ays open to opposing ideas. (W ell, most o f the tim e.)

H aving been here “ for the longest tim e,” (alm ost too long!) I find it hard to believe th a t in a year from now, our class will have g raduated and will walk out “ the big red doors’" for the last tim e as A nglo-A m erican students. T he m em ories a re all so vivid. From my first day here, to the day Dr. Sham us O ’H anlon (H ead m aster E m eritus and 6 th G rade teacher) passed aw ay in 1986, to w atching the C hallenger Space Shuttle d isaster on the schools TV in the S tudy C en ter (back when the school still had cab le), to en tering high school, to w atching the Eagles a th le tic team s win (and som etim es loose) countless gam es.

The 1991-1992 Boys’ Varsity Basketball team is one of the strongest in our schools’ history. While they sometimes had a slow beginning, they have almost always dominated the later half of their season. After a five year absence, the Eagles have returned to the A.C.I.S. League, and are currently in first place with a 9-3 league record, and a 13-5 overall record. The Eagles also took first place in the Martin-Luther King Tournament, they beat the Dwight School, and are now on their way to the New York State Association of Independent Schools Tournament.

The Suicide is a comic satire of Stalinist Russia in the 1930's. It follows the story of one Semyon Semyonovich Podsekalnikov — a man out of work. O ne night Semyon gets hungry and awakens his wife (Maria) to get him some leftover sausage. They argue. O ne thing leads to another and Semyon declares that Maria would probably prefer him dead and storms out of the house. Word soon gets around the building that Semyon will be committing suicide, and a variety of people begin to call on Semyon begging him to kill himself for their cause. Then it gets complicated.Performed in New York by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1978, The Suicide has never been produced in the Soviet (formerly) Union. Stalin did not like the play and Erdman found himself doing time in Siberia. Erdman did return to Moscow as a screenwriter, but he never wrote another play. It's funny, odd and highly theatrical.

I DREAM OF A WORLD . . .I dream of a world that never goes to war, and makes no

one fat if they eat junk food, and makes no one ill. I dream of a world which has cartoon people when the weather is medium — to have a friend like Valcor, a handsome prince, a dog named Vinde, two kittens, one named Lea, the other Dazzle.I would like to play games with a lot of lights, and eat a lot of cotton candy — and have delicious food. I dream of a world like heaven. I could have a birthday every day, and never have any homework. I could grow my hair long. I would have a nanny that is sweeter than cream or wine. She would give me beautiful pictures of cats and dogs like Vinde, and the prettiest baby raccoon, and a picture of Queen Elizabeth.

I dream that we can stop pollution in cities that are polluted. I dream that prices would go down for people who can’t afford things. For everyone to have a job even if their clothes are dirty. I dream for a cure for AIDS, cancer, and other bad diseases. For people to be friends even if they are American, African, Saudi Arabian, Jewish, or from any other country. And to cheer people even if you don’t know them. And for noises to be quieter at night.

As the shiny black limousine entered the dark garage of the luxurious hotel, its headlights shone on a small, ra tty-faced man, with a grey jacket on. He was leaning on a column with his legs crossed. H e seemed to have been waiting for this limo to arrive.

His cap bounced as he walked towards the beautiful car. He knocked on the window. The black glass went down and a haughty face appeared. “ Y-e-sss.” he said slowly. He had noticed how beautiful the fingers of the ratty-faced man were as they were placed on the edge of the window.

“ Elio guv’nor! 1 parked my car here and now I can ’t find my way out! Can you show me where to go?” “ Ha ha ha!” the haughty face laughed sarcastically. “ I ’d never do anything for a stranger, especially a

shaggy one. Drive on Jeaves!”The ratty-faced man looked at the limo as it sped away. He pulled out a black leather wallet and said,

“ You shouldn’t have done that — guv’nor!”Fabrizio M oretti, 6th grade

The maitre d. noticed a man walking in. Since he wasn’t wearing a tuxedo or even a suit like the rest of the people in the restaurant, he assumed he must need information.

“ Bonjour monsieur. M ay I help you?” he asked, noticing the m an ’s ra t like features.

“ ’Elio Sir. A ’d like a table foh one.” He responded. He in turn noticed the maitre d.’s thin eyebrows and pencil-thin mustache raise in surprise both to his sta tem ent and his manner of speaking.

“ But, but of course,” said the flustered m aitre d., “ Follow me please.”He was ra ther embarrassed to be walking through the res tauran t with this rat-of-a-man following him.

The man was well aware that the whole restaurant was staring at him, but he didn’t mind.

He sat down at his table and while supposedly looking at the menu, he glanced at the nearby tables. All except one were occupied by domineering women with too many diamonds on.

“ They’d m ake easy pickings for a fingersmith, good as me,” he thought to himself. To him the difference between a fingersmith and a pickpocket was the same as between a goldsmith and a miner.

“ Really, Shakespeare’s Othello is much better than Romeo and Juliet,” said the nearest fa t woman in a red dress.

Quickly our fingersmith opened her purse, took out her gold make-up holder which he knew would be there, took her diamond bracelet off her wrist, and just as quickly was sitting in his seat looking at the menu.

An hour later, after a full meal, payed for with a wad of bills filched from another women’s purse, he went on his way.

My experience a t the home of the old people is very nice. I ’m Oliver. I am a student at the Anglo American International School.

W e walk down the stairs and walk a few blocks. W hen we enter the old people’s building we take the elevator up to the 15th floor. We help the old people with activities, talk with them, and all that kind of stuff. W e stay for an hour and then we leave. I enjoy my time with my friends that I have there.

T he empitness within us all is something tha t hides.

It is hatred for no reason and it’s something tha t divides.

People of all creeds and kinds are sent from God above.

So we should open up our hearts and fill them with love.

Racism is wrong, but we can m ake things right.

If you use your mind and soul and give it all a fight.

Hopefully with lots of love the world will be better.

A nd so I leave you with this thought as I finish this letter.

S h J Cs Sì 0Welcoming the New Year

New Y ear 's Eve is a great day in my country, Sudan. We believe that because it is the beginning of a new year we have to celebrate.

Two days before the new year, we start to clean our houses and paint them with new paint. We buy new bed covers, new tables, new chairs, and we m ake everything look different. We change the style of our house inside.

W e buy new clothes for ourselves. We buy cookies, candy, and drinks to give to our visitors. We visit each other and wish every friend a happy new year, we also wish them to live for more than 100 years.

On New Y ear's Eve night after we dress up, we invite our relatives and friends over. We sing and dance until 12:00 p.m. Then we turn off the light until the clock passes midnite. When we turn the light back on, we wish everyone nice wishes for the future. W e stay awake until the next day laughing and having fun.

How the Cam el Got I t ’s H um p

One day there was a camel walking on the beach. His nam e was Fred. Fred had a flat back, He thought his back was too flat. Then one day, two monkeys were climbing a tree tha t Fred was standing under. All of a sudden the two monkeys lost their balance and fell on Fred. There were two big humps on F red ’s back. They were big bumps. Fred said to the two monkeys, “ Thank you, Thank you!” and tha t is how the camel got its hump.

W hy the Dog Chases His Tail

Once upon a time there was a royal dog ball where all the dogs would go and dance all night. Then there came a storm. The dogs, in a hurry to get to their homes, grabbed the first tail they could find off the tree where they hung. (They hung there tails on a tree because that was the polite thing to do.) And so now when you see a dog chasing his tail, he is probably looking to see if he has the right tail on.

Happiness

I asked professors who teach the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness.

And I went to famous executives who boss the work of thousands of men.

They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though I was trying to fool with them.

And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along the Desplaines River

And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees withtheir women and children and a keg of beer and an accordion.

Carl Sandburg

Dear class of 1992,

I have enjoyed this poem for many years. It is simple and honest and it always makes me smile. I pass it along to you with affection on behalf of myself and all of your teachers. Be happy.
