The navigator is responsible for keeping I the expedition on course.

Me is a constant and in-- valuable member of the expedition, always eager to pass on knowledge of the journey, to make it easier. Without the navigator, the; travellers would be lost, wandering in circles | without direction, fortunately the navigator | is a dedicated member of the party, without] whom the expedition could not proceed.

In the search for such individuals, experts examine hundreds of thousands of children each year, choosing only the elite to be trained specifically for the prestigious role of Explorer. Here are some of the current members when they were young. Look closely, and you can see the determination and courage on their little faces that convinced experts that they had the right stuff. 24 (solution, page 144) 6 25 gp'- ' 29 3 truth as you math the dark night of unreason.

They need a great deal of direction, and often don't quite hnow what is going on, yet this is understandable, as they are on- ly getting used to the expedition as a new experience. They look up to the other members, hnowing that eventually their worh will be rewarded and they will ad- vance further up the ladder. M. Alguire W. Alguire S. Ayers M. Barbour T. Briggs L.

Everyone joins in on those activities concer- ning their personal interests, whether in- tended for accomplishing things, or just for relaxation and fun. Members of all niches 1 throw away their roles just for these moments, forgetting the superiority of ex-| plorers and inferiority of laborers, in an ef- fort to enjoy time free of worh. Wgoiupn Staff jukes The Algonquin staff has had yet another grueling and challenging year. But even through shortages of members, material, concentration, and brains, the crew managed to produce a unique and proudly bizarre prod- uct. If anyone out there helped, we thank you. If not, well may you eat sushi and find it still moving. Yet although we've had our moments of discord and despair, we've still remained a close-knit, funloving, insane group of flower children.

In finality, it is an irreversible end; in darkness it is a cold void; in crossing over it is a journey out of life. Finality is like the clock of life, which has always been rewound to the perfect time, stopping. When the sands of the hourglass run out, there is no longer a hand to flip the hourglass to con- tinue the flow of the sands. Death appears to have no emotion. Its hand grips the soul of an unexpecting man into its icy clasp. The black raven hovers over the life of man, just waiting to fly away with his soul. The Grim Reaper, guardian of the “bridge to a new life waits ever so patiently to transport the withered souls of the unforeseen victims. Some people think death is the leaving of the body as an empty shell where the soul (of man) once dwelt; while the others believe death is an irreversible state from which one cannot ever leave. Death isn't overly selective, it takes all — the rich, the poor, the good, the bad, the human, and the unhuman. The mortality (of man) is proven through this unique happening called DEATH. — Jay Matthews Grade 12 150 “A poem to any, one.” Sometimes I think so little depends upon me And, Its funny how much I Love your smile “I’ve not had more love” I’ve not had more love Than all that anyone, everyone has. — Joseph Longshore Grade 11 So you always wanted to be a raisin ...” I had always wanted to read minds. The concept held a strange fascination for me even in childhood. As I matured, the attraction never waned; in contrast, it manifested itself in my innermost being, becoming an obsession, a constantly gnaw- ing hunger which enveloped me and left me continually unsatisfied. The situation was almost laughably ironic. I had the ambition, the motives, and the capacity to achieve my goal, yet one tiny unbreachable barrier prevented me from succeeding: I didn’t know how. The first two days that my ad ran in the Classified were unbearably silent. I sat in a ‘daze by the phone waiting ... waiting ... vainly I called the newspaper office to ask if there had been any responses. After 48 hours my spirits were dampened, almost crushed. Then — unbelievingly — on the third day, the phone rang at 4:17 a.m. I bounded across the room to the table which cradled the singing heralder. The expec- tation and anxiety were unbearable, and 1 snatched up the receiver with a breathless “Yes???” . „ “Hello, uh, is this ‘Obesessed amateur psychic seeks fulfillment from mind reading mentor’?” i I smiled. My transformation could now begin. That afternoon, Daryl Van Borne lounged on my living room sofa, chugging Per- , rier. I listened to his story with intense fascination. “I started having the, well, feelings, about two months ago. Well, I’ll start from the beginning. Ya see, I’m the density researcher at Mayhem’s Bagels — you know, the factory on Auburn Street?” | I nodded. The factory was the chief employer of the town’s population. Daryl continued: 8 “My job is using sonar to check the density of all the bagels cornin’ down the line — you know, make sure there’s no major air pockets or anythin’ that customers could ' complain about — not gettin’ their money’s worth or somethin’.” “But Mr. Van Borne,” I interrupted, “What does this have to do with psychic powers?” He waved his arm dramatically, brushing aside my skepticism. “After a couple of months of checking those sesame bagels, they promoted me to the cinnamon raisin. And that’s when it started —” He paused dramatically, looking me straight in the eyes, “I began reading minds!” Preposterous as his story sounded, it was my only lead, so I patiently watched as he brought the sonar equipment to my suburban home. In three days the construction was complete. I sat in a chair wired to an outlandishly bizarre-looking mess of equip- ment. Daryl placed a cinnamon raisin bagel on a platform in front of me and flicked a switch. A humming began, and a high pitched wailing accosted my ears — then, sud- denly, I felt my mind expand like a balloon — not an entirely unpleasant feeling, but one which made me feel I was using parts of my brain previously submerged and unknown. I Then I heard it — a clear, deep voice saying, “Quick, what’s the capital of Bavaria?” I spun my head around to look at Daryl, but his mouth was covered with three layers of duct tape. It really worked! We began simply, mainly on babies, since, as Daryl explained, their thought pro- cesses are simply and easily read. My nephew, my first subject, provided no great in- formation, mainly “wet,” “hungry,” and “mama.” I needed older subjects. Daryl explained that progress was best taken slowly, as the bagel aura often pro- duced various side effects, and I didn’t want to hurt myself. Every night I sat in the chair, hundreds of empty bagel bags piling up behind me (each bagel was only effec- tive for one shot of the sonar), as I gradually became able to probe deeper and deeper into Daryl’s brain. Finally I was ready to test my power on strangers. I went first to the subway station, where a great variety of subjects could be found. As I tuned in, the humming of bagel soundwaves echoed in my ears and I caught snat- ches of thoughts from the people surrounding me. If I stared straight at a person, I could discern his innermost thoughts. The thrill was incredible! Here I was, outward- ly a normal everyday human, possessing such incredible power! I had no need of anyone now — no need to do anything. I opened a gambling casino, where playing poker made millions for me. And Daryl? Well, who needed him? He was gone on the next flight to Siberia — I told him I had read the thoughts of an oil dealer who ex- pected an oil strike there any day. Daryl wanted to be the discoverer. It never occurred to him to check my sources, the fool. Now I sit in a daze in front of the bagel sonar. They say I’m the number one customer for Mayhem Bagels. My professional poker career keeps me successful and wealthy, yet I wonder if I’m really better off. I guess I’ll never know. — Alicia Barber Grade 12 154 Kyle Hills Heidi Longshore 155 AMERICAN INDIAN POETRY O’ Rain from the Mighty above, Come down, Come down like a dove. O’ Rain from the Mighty above, You are, You are the Beloved. The land lies parched, Crops bow low, Rivers do not flow Nor fish grow. O’Rain from the Mighty above, Come down, Come down like a dove. Quench the land’s thirst, Turn crops to the sun. Let the rivers sing And the fish come. O’ Rain from the Mighty above, Come down, Come down like a dove. -John Collins Grade 11 mimm The Circus Clown This is the story of a travelin’ man Who was known to all as smilin’ Dan Each night beneath the glittering lights He performed for families there With a painted smile, big shoes and trousers, And a bright red wig of hair. He joked and laughed with all his heart And the audience believed But underneath the boyish pranks His inner soul just bled Unknown to any is his cause of sorrow, As each night he cried himself to sleep. Since he was a circus clown, he knew he shouldn’t weep For many years he travelled with the show And acted with all his might But in his sleep he died one night With a painted smile, big shoes and trousers And a bright red wig of hair, And a tear rolling down his cheek. — Anne Leet Grade 11 158 Dollie Hutchins Evolution Happiness is easy Its superficial facade, however, does not please me Honesty is the harder of the two Achieving it places one with a non-existent few Moroseness is not a chosen quality of mine But the product of a troubled heart and its protective mind To love is not bliss And being fully aware of this Still I can not deny How the world’s inhabitants appear to my eye Opinions are not to be put down It’s their expression which causes my frown Ability is a worthy attribution But the arrogance it causes creates too thick a pollution Moroseness is not a chosen quality of mine But the product of observing the Soul’s erosion over time Humans were not meant to be perfect This I understand and respect Still I can not deny How detestable the sight of human affairs are to my eye Moroseness is an inevitable quality of mine It’s the product of a sensitive heart observing human decline — Jeremy Schwartz Grade 11 — Atlantic Testing — Stan’s Body Shop---------- STAN’S BODY SHOP Canton-Potsdam Road Potsdam, N.Y. 13676 — Speer, Cruikshank, Zeh, MacKeller ATLANTIC TESTING LABORATORIES SPEER, CRUIKSHANK, ZEH MACKELLER Canton-Potsdam Road Canton, N.Y. 13617 Riverside Drive Canton, N.Y. 13617 — North Country Employees Federal CU- Congratulations Class of 1987 Postdam, N.Y. 13676 267-2656 NORTH COUNTRY EMPLOYEES FEDERAL CREDIT UNION White’s Flowers — Lawrence Funeral Home LAWRENCE FUNERAL “If you need a friend, HOME may we apply?” Canton, N.Y. 13617 Five generations of service — Established 1845 - TickTock — Barbour’s ------------------ BARBOUR’S 13-15 Hadskin Street Canton, N.Y. 13617 Distinctively Styled Ladies Wear and Mens Wear TlCIi TOCfi TICK TOCK Hodskin Street Canton, N.Y. 13617 — Key Bank KEY BANK — Park Florist Congratulations Class of 1987 — LeBerge and Curtis Park Florist 16 Park Street Canton, N.Y. 13617 10% off purchase if signed — Grasse River Agway ----- Compliments of GRASSE RIVER AGWAY LeBERGE CURTIS Rte. 2 Box 163 Canton, N.Y. 13617 386-8868 — McCarthy Video News Carbino s Jewelry VIDEO NEWS CARBINO’S JEWELRY 39 Main Street Art Carved Canton, N.Y. 13617 R.John Congrats to Class Class Rings of 1987 Ogdensburg — Potsdam — Massena - P C P C Midtown Plaza Canton, N.Y. 13617 Good luck class of 1987 Open 24 hrs. to serve you better — Pizza Hut RUza -Hut Priazzo Pasta Salad — Dompnier-Leonard DOMPNIER-LEONARD INC.
