The explication of the paltry vocable explanation is actually inconsequential. Since we have found it recurrently expedi- ent to be explicitly respondent to the inter- rogation with unqualified clarity; as to the rational, or lack of it; by what mode, the practicability, the potentiality, the feasibil- ity, and contingencies that should arise, that would justify a circumstance or ma- neuver. “I wish he would explain his educa- tion.” Don Juan Therefore, based upon the above infor- mation, I find it of negligible consequence if I cease to expound further upon the vocable explanation, since you have all experienced the above mentioned situa- tions many times before, and will again in the near future. 1. Dave Bocchi knocks himself out on a test. 2. Mike Thayer is about to pin his opponent 3. Tom Softich wasn’t too determined in this picture. 4.

In our school there are many people of all kinds, shapes, sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Even though all these people differ from one another, every one of them has one particular trait in com- mon; determination. This quality is evident in their various endeavors. Whether it be to excel in an acedemic course or to achieve a victory in competitive sports. The possession of this quality is extremely important. “I am in earnest — I will not equivocate — I will not excuse — I will not retreat a single inch; and I will be heard.” William Lloyd Garrison It leads to the formation of a very important practice; the ability to set a goal for oneself and then to strive to one’s utmost to accomplish this goal. This, in turn, will lead to the betterment of the individual. In order to survive in the world today, a person must be determined to continually better himself through his ac- complishments. In that way, he will be- come an asset to society rather than a hindrance.

 Humiliation Have you ever had one of those awful, embarrassing, humilating days when ev- ery—thing goes wrong? Most people have, and at VHS it isn’t hard to find a flushing face and a crowd of laughter at any time of the day. “Nature never makes any blun- ders; when she makes a fool she means it.” Henry William Shaw It isn’t hard to be humiliated. All you have to do is fall up the stairs, trip over a desk, say the wrong thing at the wrong time; the list is almost endless. Humili- ation is embarrassing at the time, but in a few days, months, or years you can al- ways look back on it and have a good laugh. 3
