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.

THE DRAGON TIMES


Greensburg City High School Newsletter November 2008 Issue 3 Volume 2 By Student Name

Spirit Week Has Arrived!

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 cat in distress. According to Albert, the cats front paw 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 paper route. Albert will receive an honorary key to the city by Mayor Burnap in commendation for a job well done. Kudos to Albert!

Panthers vs. Cougars


Reported by Lindsey Cameron, Senior This Saturday the Dragon football team meet their long time rivals the Cougars. Deshawn Jackson will be the starting quarterback for the Panthers, and 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 seen running 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!
