Today is the historic Edgewater-Boone game, at Edgewater High School in College Park. If you are planning to attend the game tonight, please go early so that you can find parking. There is a large lot immediately off of Edgewater Drive; also, there is a commercial parking lot adjacent to the school, but be careful as half the lot has no-parking signs or towing warnings. And be nice to the Eagles; they are going to lose, after all.

Since this is the Edgewater game, we will be on a Wednesday bell schedule and have a PEP RALLY to celebrate the big event. We haven't had one yet this year--just a senior snake, and some other revelry. This is going to be huge. Wear orange and white, and celebrate!

Sophys: Author of the Day (we're finished next week, which actually makes me sad) and review of Candide's focus points, then a satirical story by Heinrich Boll called "My Melancholy Face."

APees: Act V. Your focus papers are due today by the end of school, hard copy, and by midnight tonight on www.turnitin.com. I was gratified to see how many of you have already submitted your papers electronically. HOMEWORK THIS WEEKEND: Study questions on Act V. NEXT WEEK: Creative Writing!
