O Captain! My Captain!

by Walt Whitman

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;

The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;

The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:

But O heart! heart! heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,

Where on the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;

Rise up--for you the flag is flung--for you the bugle trills;

For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths--for you the shores a-crowding;

For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;

Here Captain! dear father!

This arm beneath your head;

It is some dream that on the deck,

You've fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;

My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;

The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;

From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;

Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!

But I, with mournful tread,

Walk the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.

interestingly enough Deshawns cousin, Jerome

Henderson will be the starting

quarterback for the Dragons. Everyone is eager to

see these two cousins face off on the football field.

Coach Leonard is so excited and has been seenrunning through the halls wearing orange and black

streamers around his head. The game

kicks off at 10 am on Saturday and tickets to the

game are selling fast. Athletic Director, Walter Dionne

is asking for volunteers to work the hot dog booth.

Go Dragons!

Principal Praises Student for

Good Deed

Reported by Doug Fleming, Sophomore

Principal Evans is hosting a dinner on Saturday,

November 2nd in honor of Freshman Albert

Nunez. Albert was delivering his daily paper

route last weekend when he heard cries from an

abandoned house Albert took action

immediately and took a good look under the

bushes of the house only to discover a stray catin distress. According to Albert, the cats frontpaw was stuck under a rock. Fearful that the cat

would bite Albert due to being in pain, Albert

quickly dialed 911 on his cell phone. Within

minutes an animal rescue team was on the

scene and the cat was rescued. Once the cat was

rescued unharmed, Albert returned the cat to its

owner, Mrs. Fimbley, a customer on his paperroute. Albert will receive an honorary key to thecity by Mayor Burnap in commendation for a

job well done. Kudos to Albert!
