THE POEM

Infinity, the unlimited amount of time or space.
And carries on without leaving a trace
It goes on forever, no limit or end,
Just like the love for all of our friends.
Although these four days were merely a fraction of time,
The memories we made will still be spoken of in 2009.
Six weeks gone, and now a year to go,
Still thinking of camp while covered by snow.
Infinity sums up our amount of spirit in one word,
And even today our screaming voices are heard.
We wish good luck to Golden Phoenix because no matter
which team will win or lose,
We will still be one camp, and that’s what we will always choose.
As timeless as this night, Infinity Blue will never back down.
Our spirits are strong even in Rock Hill, this tiny town
Camp lasts for life; you’ll someday see how these memories
last for infinity.

THE ESSAY

Join me on a trip back to 1655, where John Wallis is brainstorming ideas for a new mathematical symbol for infinity.

Suddenly, he figured out a genius idea. The symbol is a drawing of the number eight, which is turned 90 degrees.

As time went on, other cultures took the original symbol, and adapted its meaning. The Greek tribes were the first ones to understand the meaning of the word infinity. They viewed the difference of the ‘potentially infinite’ from the ‘actual infinite’.

Throughout the years the early Indians came up with the new ideas. The Isha Upanishad of the Yajurveda “If you remove a part from infinity or add a part to infinity, still what remains is infinity”.

Today, the Iroquois Springs summer of 2008 Blue Team has COMPLETELY REDEFINED infinity. The transformation of infinity does affect Golden Phoenix in that we wish them an infinite amount of luck in this competition. Blue has infinite amounts of spirit, infinite amounts of pride, and infinite amounts of love for their team and this camp.

We do not follow infinity.. WE ARE INFINITY BLUE!!!!

THE STANDARD

THE PLAQUE

THE MARCH

Tune: “In Too Deep”, Sum41
Verse 1:
We’re faster and stronger
We’re stopping at nothing
We’re staying in control of the game
(1,2,3)
Each day the points go up
Our spirits on the rise
We’re here now to take the prize
(1,2,3)
Gold Team thinks that they’re number 1
When really the Blue Team will be first when it’s done
(1,2)
Chorus:
‘Cause we’re infinity
And we’re gonna be
In the lead this week
Instead of falling under
Gold Team watch your back
Cause Blue will attack
We’re not backing down
And Gold is falling under
Gold is falling under
(1,2,3)
Verse 2:
Every game and every meet
The Blue Team will defeat
We’ll always be one step ahead (1,2,3)
The Blue Team can’t be stopped
Because forever we’re on top
Phoenix will remember our name
(1,2,3)
Infinity will never fall
At the Apache race and Marble Call
(1,2)
Chorus:
‘Cause we’re infinity
And we’re gonna be
In the lead this week
Instead of falling under
Gold Team watch your back
Cause Blue will attack
We’re not backing down
GIRLS: And Gold is falling under
BOYS: Gold is falling under
ALL: Gold is falling under
(1,2,3)
GO BLUE!!!!

THE ALMA MATER

Tune: “Tonight”, FM Static
(1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3)
The summers fading away,
As I close my eyes
Thinking of all the memories,
With you by my side
And as I draw you close,
I cannot help but cry, (1)
You’re safe in my arms with me (1,2,3)
Tonight (1,2,3,4,1,2,3)
I treasure the days we spend together
Home with you
I’m never fully myself without Gold and Blue
Iroquois Springs, a piece of me,
I’ll never lose (1)
Tonight we stand here
With our hands held tight
Our bonds are never broken
As our hearts unite
The love we share together,
As the years go by
I want to be there holding you,
Holding you, holding you,
Tonight (2,3,4,1,2,3)
As the months begin to pass us by
I long for you
I can still hear the laughter,
See the faces too
And as I sit alone,
I cannot help but cry (1)
I feel your love here with me (1,2,3)
Tonight (2,3,4,1,2,3)
GIRLS SOLO: We return each summer to where we know we belong
BOYS SOLO: The friendships we have made here have kept us so strong
In a world full of strangers
You’re not on your own (1)
Tonight we stand here
With our hands held tight
Our bonds are never broken
As our hearts unite
The love we share together,
As the years go by
Forever holding you,
Holding you, holding you,
Tonight
