THE BANNER

THE PLAQUE

THE POEM

By Samantha Stromeyer

The burning sun, the bright moon, and the dimness of dawn
All created by one powerful Titan
The Titan of night and day, Hyperion
He who goes before the sun, not yet the sun
The name given to a great creator, Hyperion
Eos, the dawn, a beautiful G-ddess
Titled as the morning star
Carried by a silver chariot
Accompanied by four powerful horses
A daughter of Hyperion
Selene, the moon G-ddess, teacher of magicians and sorcerers
Dressed with mysterious wings and a halo of pure gold
A form of light with an inner glow
Helios, the most powerful light, the G-d of the sun
Ventured on a golden chariot
Journey through the sky to the west
Leaving his eastern palace behind
Returned on Oceanus which girded the Earth
Selene, Helios, Eos, the three siblings who ruled the changing hours of day
Hyperion, who created the day
Uranus formed Hyperion, an omnipotent, brave, strong, Greek G-d
Hyperion with its powers will take control and win!

THE ESSAY

By Jenna Cohen

Think back to a time when the Titans ruled the universe, long before our era. Two superior beings, Uranus and Ge united and conceived eleven brilliant children, and the Titans commenced. These devine pieties came to be known as Okeanos, Koios, Kreios, Iapetos, Theia, Rheia, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Tethis, and Hyperion. Of these eleven, great Hyperion did join with Theia to create three powerful and repute G-ds and G-desses. They were called Helios, Eos and Selene. Each of these imperial creatures took power to a significant job, determining the night and the day.

Helios became the G-d of the sun. Each morning he would depart from his castle in the east, and venture across the sky in a golden chariot. Eos was a g-ddess of the dawn. She was a beautiful lady, in a chariot drawn by four horses, who became known as the Morning Star. She was the first form of light; the break of day was in her power. And then there was the radiant Selene, the G-ddess of the moon. She was a delicate woman who traveled on a silver chariot, drawn by two stunning horses. As her brother Helios crossed the sky on his journey, she began hers. The actual moon was the reflection of light on her pale body.

Three immensely powerful G-ds, all created by one Hyperion. He was the first person to ever understand the movements of the sun, moon, stars and seasons. He became known as the father of these natures, since he was the premier creator and follower of them all.

Hyperion was a powerful and respectable ruler. He represented honor, responsibility, and strength. He was part of a great family, who together ruled the changing of the days, an incredible accomplishment. Hyperion Gold represents the family of the Titans. We work as a team to get through each day, as we are also a family, representing Hyperion and his Titans. Together we will strive and use our strengths to defeat Janus Blue. Hyperion will once again reign supreme throughout our camp, and the universe.

THE ALMA MATER

Ben Harper, “The Drugs Don’t Work”

Here we are again
Another summer’s gone by
Like a moment in time
Prolonging the end
Afraid of tomorrow

But I know you’re thinking of me
As you stand right by my side
But the Blue and Gold
We’re here tonight
We’re here for each other

But the Blue and the Gold, not only tonight
We’re bound to return again

Yet the summer must be closing
Although we try to hold on
We can only keep memories
Next to our hearts
When we must say goodbye

Now Iroquois Springs, not only tonight
We’re bound to return again

BRIDGE
So something draws us back
To our home
It’s where we belong
I’m never alone

With you my friend
Holding me close
And here we are again
Another winter to pass
Like a moment in time, awaiting the start
Waiting to come home

Now Iroquois Springs
Although we’re apart
I know I’ll see your face again

BRIDGE
But the Blue and the Gold
We’re here tonight
We’re here for each other

Blue and Gold unite
This is all we could want
To be with each other

GIRLS: Blue and Gold forever
BOYS: Blue and Gold forever
ALL: We’ll always be together
