<p>Nice shot of Rex:)</p>

2162

<p>You have to watch that break dancing group. They were sick, especially if you saw it live.</p>

2163

<p>It has been a while. School has been on a four day vacation. But here some more slide shows.

I mentioned the teacher Joe Holland and some of his extreme athletics. Here is an article: Through Extreme Sports, Science Teacher Defies Physics: [St</a>. Paul’s School ~ News Portal](<a href=“http://www.sps.edu/podium/default.aspx?t=6183&rc=0]St”>http://www.sps.edu/podium/default.aspx?t=6183&rc=0)</p>

<p>Chapel reports: A state-wide student piano competition at Plymouth State College where SPS students won 1st places in the 9-10th grade and the 11th-12th grade categories. The Hugh Camp Cup (public speaking) competition, where it is down to 7 finalists. Two artists-in-residence.</p>

2164

<p>So it appears as if SPS lax is not having the best of seasons. Does anybody happen to have any insight on this matter? Obviously there schedule is strong and they’re lacking a strong keeper (me :D) but are there any other reasons?</p>

2165

<p>Obviously, a team that can play and well. :D</p>

2166

<p>I’m talking specifics. For people who actually know the team, are members of it and so on.</p>

2167

<p>I would like to think that things will change when the boys who came in with Colbert and after mature.</p>

2168

<p>Our goalie is actually playing really well, and is definitely not our problem. We have problems with consistency and possessing the ball, in addition to a few other things.</p>

2169

<p>Tonight the fifth formers voted for the next year 6th form officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, & Treasurer)
Joe Norena will be the study body president for the 2010-2011 school year!
Here is his video:

<p>I guess I’m just a littel frustrated with my team here in NY. We are, and I am not being harsh, TERRIBLE. I really just want to see SPS become a powerhouse in the ISL mostly because I am sick of losing after putting in so much. Which is of course not to say that the sport itself isn’t rewarding. On a completely related note that video was quite silly and made me smile.</p>

2171

<p>If I could vote, he would have mine. Thanks for posting it chicky.</p>

2172

<p>looking for my son and people are still talking about the sex scandals (boys/male teachers), attorney general investigation, hazing</p>

2173

<p>I personally am trying to put that article out of my mind. It seems to be a classic case of the aura of negativity that the media feeds on (sort of ironic seeing as William Randolph Hearst, the pioneer of such reporting styles, graduated from SPS). Everything else I have heard about the school seems absolutely wonderful, thus I am trying to weight the article lightly.</p>

2174

<p>Just like laxislife said, the media will feed off negativity. When some things go wrong, everyone knows but while everything is well no one seems to take notice. Mabye all of that was true, mabye it wasn’t? Does anyone know what exactly happened? Either way it is still a great school, like lax said.</p>

2175

<p>cleopet: Yes and no. But… where to start, what to answer and how to end? You should all read the article. There are positives and negatives, and the author correctly points out that that SPS is an easy target because of what it has been, is and will be. </p>

<p>But there have been problems. When I was there, Gerry Studds was a teacher. Known later as Congressman Gerry Studds, reprimanded by the House, then inexplicably reelected repeatedly by his constituents. But that was over 40 years ago. The Bishop, who would have thought that a Bishop and adopted member of the Lakota Sioux tribe would get starry eyed about money and earthly rewards?</p>

<p>But I guess we know a bit more these days about both Congressmen and Bishops. There was a time when our innocence and naivet</p>

2176

<p>It’s funny that you made a Harry Potter reference. I remember walking through one of the halls thinking that it looked like Hogwarts.</p>

2177

<p>If I did not make JV soccer, would I be able to run cross-country? How competitive is it to make JV sports like basketball and soccer? I’m not like a recruit or anything, but I am half-way decent.</p>

2178

<p>I can’t imagine it would be terribly hard. But then again I am a recruit, going to be a repeat juior, and haven’t actually seen these teams. So what do I know?</p>

2179

<p>From the SPS website:</p>

<p>Seventy percent of newly admitted students will enroll at St. Paul’s School in the fall of 2010, according to School admissions data.</p>

<p>“The feeling about St. Paul’s is so strong, outside and inside,” said Jada Hebra, director of admissions. “People feel great about this school.”</p>

<p>Other numbers from the most recent admissions cycle indicate the health of the School:
3,709 inquiries, 1,306 applications, and a 16 percent admit rate. Hebra reported that 148 new students – 80 boys and 67 girls – have elected to enroll in the fall. The students hail from 25 states and 12 countries. Total enrollment for the fall term is expected to be 535 students.</p>

<p>Included in the enrollment numbers are 52 new students of color – 36 from the United States and 16 from foreign countries.</p>

<p>Among the new students are 97 new Third Formers, 39 new Fourth Formers, and 11 new Fifth Formers.</p>

<p>Also of note is that 30 percent of new students will receive some form of tuition assistance during the 2010-11 academic year. Financial aid awards will go to 35 percent of the student body overall.</p>

<p>Hebra credited the St. Paul’s community, with particular gratitude to current students, for making prospective families feel so welcome at the School.</p>

<p>“It’s remarkable,” she said. “It has everything to do with how they are treated from the moment they visit to the moment they revisit – they’ve been so welcomed by this community. I hear this every year, but even more this year, that this is a very special place.”</p>

<p>I was told that SPS does not have student’s ranking in his|her grade level. Is it true, if so, how to determine who is better?</p>
