1918 Oak Bluffs High School Commencement Speech
In 1918, through references to the Bible, World War I, woodchucks, suspenders, Rutherford B. Hayes, and Theodore Roosevelt, Stanley Enoch Rodgers Jr. calls upon his fellow students at Oak Bluffs High School to strive for upstanding moral character.
We just received these three fragile pages entitled “Address to Under Graduates” written by Mr. Rodgers. Later in life, Mr. Rodgers moved to Minnesota. Now deceased, the letter comes courtesy of one his fellow parishioners at a church in Eagle Lake, MN. The donor suggested it would be great to be read at the 2018 commencement.
Oliver Silberstein’s Student Talk: Language Immersion in China
This past summer, Oliver travelled to China with Where There Be Dragons. The course was a six-week language immersion course. In it he spent half a week in Beijing as the introduction to the course, then traveled to La Shi Hai, a little village in Southwest China, to stay with a host family for two weeks. Then he spent one week exploring the Yunnan province. After that he stayed with a host family in the city of Kunming. As a conclusion to the trip he stayed at a Tibetan monastery for a half week, and then flew back to America.
