Favorite Quotations
'if' by rudyard kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
...

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master,
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

Those of you from Irving School can see the pictures of the seventh grade class at my profile.  While I can identify many there are a few that I can't remember.   Aren't you suppose to remember things from the past and  forget the recent things?  Here are a few of the names I can ID:  Barbara Kincaid, Dick Hopper, Dan Shickle, Jay Hilton, Harry Harsha, Lois Hill, Sandra Colaw, Diana Moore, David Leben, Sherry Farmer, Jay Jaspers, Delores Buttry, Amy Snodgrass, Judy Van Winkle, Janet Apps?, Denny Center, Larry Dennison?,Roberta?, Is that Sherrif Steve?  And that is the best I can do for now.   

 

I did a little better on the basketball team, only one guy I can't remember.

The guy you couldn't identify on the basketball team I believe was Victor Young.  Also I don't believe you named Shirley Mardis and Richard Guiteriz (sp.).

Now I am wondering if this was seventh grade or sixth grade?   I see the crossing guard belt on a few peope in the class and my memory has faded but it seems like the crossing guards were sixth grade and not junior high.  Secondly, I do not see any of the friends from Lincoln Grade School.  If it is sixth grade then everyones favorite Cora Merchant was the teacher or not.everyones favorite.   Mary Rose Windle should be in there too, I think please help identify.   .

If I remember correctly we were in a split classroom - half fifth grade and half sixth grade.  I know when I was in second grade it was second and third grade because of space availability. Miss Gray was the other fifth grade teacher and Miss Merchant taught sixth.  We both had Miss Merchant for sixth.

Milan,  I posted a couple of pictures from Irving School from 1956 and I believe Dale Jaspers is included in them.

Masahide Matsuoka


 I am not totally sure, but I thought doing online reseach that there was something about him in Japanese that he had died in the Tsunami.... I could be wrong so if you have better info please inform me.

Milan Jackson

I have found that a Masahide Matsuoka died but I couldn't get any other info on him to see if it was our Mat. 

 

I haven't seen anything on him since he was a bureau chief in Wash. DC.

Message from Steve Brienen:

 

Just wanted to say thanks to all who sent birthday wishes.
Each year that goes by seems to go faster and that stupid light gets closer.LOL
Also, would like to thank you for the prayers and notes about my cancer comming back. Just finished 15 radiation treatments and will start on the chemo Monday morning. Prognosis is still good however. One would think that after 4 times since 89 enough would be enough but apparently no such luck.

But on to more cheerful things. Really looking forward to seeing friends from class again and making new friends we never had chance to make friends with at the time.
See you there~!!!
Steve
