Page 115 - PINE CREST 2015

Each year, Pine Crest students sit in class learning and reading

and listening to teachers as they explain the importance of just

i about everything. As students can attest, examining Walden

\ by the famous Henry David Thoreau in English class was no

\ exception. Students went through each section, trying to pay

\ attention, vaguely listening, until spring. In this section, they

\ heard Thoreau discuss how wonderful the earth seems as

\ everything shifts from an icy winter into the unmistakable

‘ \ beauty of spring. Thoreau was able to connect that spring

\ \ is a symbol for rebirth and starting over not only for nature,

i but for those who live within it. This rebirth is felt each

A spring at Pine Crest, even though the snow isn't melting
A off trees and the air doesn’t seem any more flora! than

\ usual. Students see the second semester freshmen
\ finally getting the hang of the school they will call theirs

\ for the next four years, while second semester seniors

A revel in their last stretch of high school. All Pine Crest

\ students fee! a change in the air as final exams

* \ roll around just in time for everything to took a little

\ greener. Everyone has the chance to change with

the season.
