Overall though, it was a very fun school event. When I was a freshman I remember that it rained on us. I'm glad that my senior year's Walk-a-Thon had sunny weather and crystal clear blue skies. -Jason Gatchalian '98 14 Walk-a-Thon . Q '1 I

These were just some ofthe questions that bo ggle the minds of seminar participants each week. Every Wednesday from 6-9 p.m., scholars convened in the conference room to discuss readings that Scholar Program Director and Seminar Teacher Dr. Kenneth Hogarty assigned. Students read from two different books, Ourselves Among Others Ca.k.a. the Blue Book J and A World of Ideas Ca.k.a. the Green Book j in which they learned about cultural differences as well as philosophical concepts. In addition to the readings, students completed an independent project, where they spent 50- 100 hours on a subject of their choice. After hours of study they prepared a twenty minute presentation for the class. Some of this year's projects included an original episode of Seinfeld, a presentation on aromatherapy, lessons in Tai Chi, a simulation ofThe Real Left: Joanne Esteves 'teaches Joe Gumina some basic dance skills.

The Walk-a-Thon is a day committed to demon- strating school pride, improving the school, and socializing with friends. It was a very sunny third of October day. Bleachers at the Polo Fields were jam-packed with freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Mr. Scudder announced each grade to start, and then they were off. Each grade anxiously began by ripping and tearing through their banners like children opening Christmas presents. While the students were walking, teachers and parents prepared hotdogs, ice cream, and other goodies for the soon-to-be hungry. Many students had endless fun, but some had a few problems along the way. My friends and I had some difficulties while we were walking due to the massive intake of liquid before the walk, said freshman Chris Chan. Others had a great deal of fun and no problems at all. Sophomore Danny Meek added, l thought that the Walk-a- Thon was cool, great and very enjoyable. Freshmen Jennifer Choi and Stephanie Kwok commented afterwards, We had the greatest time of our lives, ' especially for the beginning of our freshman year, and we also enjoyed the half day off of school. Senior Jeff Jong exclaimed, It was great to go to the Walk-a-Thon as a senior. I had lots of fun. The weather was great, and time went by rather quickly. So, if you feel as though you are lacking in school pride, complaining about facilities, orjust plain bored, do something about it. Do INQ miss next year's Walk-a-Thon. It's one way you can make a positive difference for gtg -Jonathan Young '01 Above: Already pros, these seniors, Reena Krishnan, Candace O'Keefe, Margaret Jisrawi, and Nicole Bocci begin their last walk.
