First period…what an enthusiastic bunch at 7:15 in the morning! These sophs are spectacular. (Former students would recognize props from A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Macbeth…garlands and sheets and crowns and whatever else was usable from the sack o’ stuff. 😂) Good times. ❤️

Answer. That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
