Segerstrom APUSH

To all of this years APUSH class,

Thanks for all of you hard work and positive energy.  I really enjoyed having you guys as students and I hope you found the class rewarding.  Good luck next year, and I look forward to hearing what colleges you end up applying and getting accepted to.  If you get your test results before I do, please send me an email and let me know how you did.  Have a restful summer, you deserve it!

Happy Trails, by Roy Rogers

Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It’s the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here’s a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you,
Until we meet again.
Happy trails to you,
Keep smilin’ until then.

Who cares about the clouds when we’ere together?
Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you,
Til we meet again.

Dirge for Two Veterans

By Walt Whitman

The last sunbeam
Lightly falls from the finish’d Sabbath,
On the pavement here, and there beyond it is looking,
Down a new-made double grave.

Lo, the moon ascending,
Up from the east the silvery round moon,
Beautiful over the house-tops, ghastly, phantom moon,
Immense and silent moon.

I see a sad procession,
And I hear the sound of coming full-key’d bugles,
All the channels of the city streets they’re flooding,
As with voices and with tears.

I hear the great drums pounding,
And the small drums steady whirring,
And every blow of the great convulsive drums,
Strikes me through and through.

For the son is brought with the father,
(In the foremost ranks of the fierce assault they fell,
Two veterans son and father dropt together,
And the double grave awaits them.)

Now nearer blow the bugles,
And the drums strike more convulsive,
And the daylight o’er the pavement quite has faded,
And the strong dead-march enwraps me.

In the eastern sky up-buoying,
The sorrowful vast phantom moves illumin’d,
(’Tis some mother’s large transparent face,
In heaven brighter growing.)

O strong dead-march you please me!
O moon immense with your silvery face you soothe me!
O my soldiers twain! O my veterans passing to burial!
What I have I also give you.

The moon gives you light,
And the bugles and the drums give you music,
And my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans,
My heart gives you love.

Decade Project Rules

Congratulations on making it this far, I am very proud of all of you.  A couple of reminders going into the exam:

1.  Get a good nights sleep tonight - no 1 A.M. cram sessions!

2.  Take a positive attitude into the test.  Don’t stress over what you don’t know, focus on what you do.

3.  Have a plan - Don’t waste time on questions that you don’t know.  Skip them and come back to them if you have time.

4.  Attack the Prompts - take time to organize your thoughts, remember what we did in the review sessions.  Remember, balance and outside information is the key to success.

5.  Give it your all - this is a one time deal, there are no do-overs.  No regrets!

Good luck, I’ll be thinking positive thoughts for all of you!
