Exercises Quotes
I graduated with my ninth grade class (Langdale School) in the spring of 1941. Our graduation exercises were held in the Langdale Theater. After that, we gathered at the gym. It was pretty simple. It was a fun time. But it was a sorrowful time because we realized we would never be students at LaFayette Lanier School again.

Freshman Quotes
Last year's class was great, but they did have the help of those guys, those three guys who are here and seniors now. And what made it really challenging for these three is . . . we had to play a lot of freshman and a lot of new guys. And last year we rarely played a freshman in a game like this. We didn't have to go that deep.

Adds Quotes
Losing critical class time is only one issue associated with mobile classrooms. (The) walls (are) so thin that anything happening on the outside can be heard inside, the air conditioners are so loud teachers are limited by what they can do, and when temperatures reach extremes it adds extra stress on the comings and goings.

Add Quotes
When we started planning this two to three years ago, the reports we were seeing about an upcoming physician shortage did encourage my thinking. But we also have many more hospitals in my system that want to have our students than I have students to place. The only way to add more students was to increase class sizes.

Balls Quotes
Mike runs good routes, and he's always making the big play, ... He pulled down a few high balls I threw last week, and made it look like nothing. I've played with some good receivers at UCLA, but Mike is in a class all by himself. He's a real classy, quiet Oregon guy. He just takes care of business.

August Quotes
Most of the time in February, everybody thinks they have the best class they've ever had. But we won't know until we get them here in August and see them. Certainly the way they rank them and the way we feel about them, it's our best class top to bottom. But that's always yet to be seen.

Progressive Taxation Quotes
The philosophy underlying the system of progressive taxation is that the income and wealth of the well-to-do classes can be freely tapped. What the advocates of these tax rates fail to realize is that the greater part of the incomes taxed away would not have been consumed but saved and invested.

Activities Quotes
Many institutions have been explicit about what students need to succeed at their institution, so students aren't just left to figure this out on their own. They provide students guideposts and very clear messages about what you need to do in terms of studying and preparing for class and the kind of activities you should be involved in.

Arrive Quotes
On a normal day, I crawl out of bed before 8 A.M., have a protein shake, chuck my gym kit on, and go for a class or personal-training session. When I'm back, I'll have poached eggs with salmon or spinach for breakfast before my stylists arrive to do my hair - which takes ages. I then go wherever I am needed.

Iraq Quotes
Even if we give first priority to the destruction of terrorist networks, and even if we succeed, there are still governments that could bring us great harm. And there is a clear case that one of these governments in particular represents a virulent threat in a class by itself: Iraq. As far as I am concerned, a final reckoning with that government should be on the table.

Football Quotes
Listen to the women. Women say exactly what they want. Who has concrete plans - not macroeconomics but kitchen table economics. Who will change the situation for their families, and help restore the middle class. Women are also sick to death of having their bodies and their lives treated as a political football.

Thinking Quotes
I think the working-class part of me comes out. Sometimes the people who have the loudest mouths are upper-class, upper-middle-class. The quietest are often working-class people, people who are broke. There is a fear of losing whatever it is that you have. I come from that background.

Country Quotes
It's exciting having a student who is not used to expressing their emotional side and bringing that out in them and see that developing and helping to nurture that. That's an exciting thing. In a class of fifteen there are usually two very good writers, equal to good student writers anywhere in the country. Those two make the class wonderful.

Animal Quotes
The piano is just a different animal. It's expensive, it's big, it's heavy, and it doesn't fit in the mix easily. Everyone grew up with a piano in their living room, so rocking out on the piano was accessible - it wasn't an upper-class thing. Now pianos have become very much a piece of furniture.

Wall Quotes
When I see the mostly young people of Occupy Wall Street - a mixture of the bored, the nihilistic, the seekers of excitement, the left-wing true believers, the confused idealists and those hoping to engage in violence - railing against the rich capitalists on Wall Street, I get worried. Because the hatred they express toward the rich is similar to that expressed against the rich by Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. Of course, these people are not comparable to those killers. But class hatred must lead to bad things. That is why President Obama is playing with fire with his attacks on the rich.

Skills Quotes
I did my BA in English lit, and hated the restriction - I'd always read more in translation than not; coming from a working-class background, what I knew of as British literature - the writers who made big prize lists and/or were stocked in WH Smith, Doncaster's only bookshop until I was 17 - seemed incredibly, alienatingly middle-class. Then in 2009, just after the financial crash, I graduated with no more specific skill than 'can analyse a bit of poetry'.

Basketball Quotes
I have never been more excited and energized about a head coaching appointment in my career than I am with the hiring of Ben Jacobson as our men's basketball coach. Ben is ready to take this step. He has the support of the current team and our recruiting class and he will do a great job of maintaining the excellence that we have built in our men's basketball program.
