传统

The 大黄蜂/夹克 competition is one of the most enjoyable aspects of 水牛神学院; it's also one of 十大彩票平台's oldest traditions, 追溯到1916年.

Legendary headmistress Miss L. Gertrude Angell organized 十大彩票平台 into two basketball teams in 1916 and it has grown into a school-wide intramural competition for over a century.

每年秋季, on "大黄蜂/夹克一天,“每一个新生, 教师, 工作人员成为其中一个团队的成员. 对生活. Selection is a closely guarded process of the athletic directors and head of school. It may also be an inheritance - team membership is passed on through alumnae siblings and other family members who attended 十大彩票平台.

大黄蜂/夹克一天 begins with a freshman sleepover at the school the night before, commences in the morning with a neighborhood costume parade and proceeds to 我们的 Larkin Field for group dances and field games. 

 

当 你 meet a 十大彩票平台 girl of any age, anyw在这里, the first thing 你 should ask is: Hornet or Jacket?

The two teams battle to win points in contests throughout the year - particularly for Spirit Week, 大黄蜂/夹克一天, the Halloween costume and skit contest, 悬挂绿色日的节日毛衣比赛, school decorating and bushe de noel contest, and finally culminating in the Putting on the Hits contest in June when the winner of the 大黄蜂/夹克 is announced and engraved on the 大黄蜂/夹克 Spirit Cup.

So many pictures are starting to come in! 这张是我周五在百慕大参加学校博览会时收到的.

Each school day begins at 7:55 a.m. in the chapel with 早上的会议, 这是一项受人喜爱的传统，它将焦点放在了每个学生身上, while bringing together the entire school. 由学校政府协会主席领导, 全体师生聚在一起唱歌, 演讲, 和通知.

Whether it’s a senior's presentation (senior year each student makes a presentation - sometimes academic, 有时音乐, 有时有趣, 总是深刻的), a community service opportunity, or an update on team sports scores, or an invitation to a club meeting, students take center stage. We also invite guests from the community to make special 演讲 on issues such as distracted driving or teen health.

水牛神学院 召开 September 9, 2019

By: Patrick Long P '18, former Trustee Chair

 

          你根本不知道我是谁，也不知道坐在前排的人是谁. We’re the trustees of the school. Many of us are current or former parents. 我的女儿夏洛特去年从十大彩票平台毕业. Many of us – the lucky ones – went to 十大彩票平台. 我们和Mrs. Marlette来确保十大彩票平台在接下来的169年里都在这里. It’s 我们的 job to worry.

          It’s y我们的 job to learn. Well, it’s part of y我们的 job to learn. 经管学院不仅仅是一所教授课程的学校. And y我们的 teachers are more than just people who tell 你 what 你 need to know about history, 或科学. And 你 are more than just students. 每天早上，你都承诺要做一些非凡的、特别的事情. 每天早上你都承诺要在比德韦尔公园路建造一个新耶路撒冷. That’s what I want to talk about 这 morning.

          The first song 你 sing as 你 enter 十大彩票平台, and the last song 你 sing when 你 graduate, is 耶路撒冷. 当 这 学校唱歌 那 歌曲，是世界上最美好的事物之一. Trust me, when 你 sing 耶路撒冷 在你们的毕业典礼上，你们的父母会哭得像小宝宝一样. 很有趣. T在这里’s mascara running everyw在这里. 这句话 耶路撒冷 来自威廉·布莱克，一位伟大的英国诗人，也是一位彻头彻尾的疯子. 一定要确保. Wright lets 你 read him.

         这首歌的重要之处在于，你为什么要唱这首歌?

I will not cease from Mental Fight,

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:

Till we have built 耶路撒冷,

在英格兰的绿色里 & 宜人的土地.

          除了你的歌声美到令人窒息之外. 安吉尔在100年前为十大彩票平台选了这首歌.

          首先，简单说一下为什么这首诗有音乐. Originally, the poem had no music. 1917年，英国深陷第一次世界大战的痛苦之中. T在这里 seemed to be no end to the killing, 整整一代的年轻人都在西线的泥泞中迷失了. 休伯特·帕里爵士知道，英国公众需要一些东西来鼓舞士气, so he set Blake’s words to music. 他写了一首可以合唱的曲子. His song took England by storm, and it became one of the most beloved songs in all music. It is England’s unofficial national anthem.

          What does 那 have to do with 十大彩票平台? Well, 水牛 can be pretty bleak in February, but we are now在这里 near as bad as London in 1917. 你唱这首歌是因为那一节的歌词. 你唱 这 song because 你 promise, every day, to build a new 耶路撒冷 在这里 on Bidwell.

          耶路撒冷, of c我们的se, is the name of the city in Israel, considered sacred by three major religions. Its ancient name means 和平之城, which 你 probably noticed, as 萨勒姆 听起来像 萨拉姆, the Arabic word for peace, and 您好, the same thing in Hebrew. But Blake is not saying we need to build a new city with buildings and streets and plumbing. 没有必要，耶路撒冷已经存在了.

          不，他说的是更奇怪，也更重要的事. 他想让我们建造一个新的耶路撒冷，而不是用砖头和灰泥, 而是出于善意, 和同情, and love for one another. That’s what’s so amazing about the line:

带 me my Bow of burning gold

          现在，拥有一个燃烧的黄金弓会非常酷. 但它在战斗中毫无用处，或者作为建造任何东西的工具. Gold bends too easily. 它在燃烧. 当你需要建一堵墙的时候欲望之箭又有什么用呢? 如果你要铺设下水管道，你需要一把铲子，而不是一辆火车.

          Blake is being all metaphorical. He uses the imagery of battle to show us 那 building a city of peace, a city of love, is not easy. 这就像战争一样艰难. It’s easy to hate y我们的 classmate. It’s easy to make fun of Mr. 霍普金斯. 当别人的成绩比你好时，你很容易嫉妒, or has more likes on SnapChat than 你, or gets into her choice of college. Being kind to one another, supporting one another, 互相帮助, 难道不是某一天你可以决定去做，然后继续前进的事情吗. 在建造一个新的耶路撒冷时，不可能突然停止. 你需要每天早上起床，穿上你的盔甲，再次战斗.  As Blake says, and 你 promise, I will not cease from mental fight. It’s a mental fight, not a physical one. But it is just as hard, and just as important. 它永远不会结束. You promise never to cease from the fight. And no one will fight 这 battle for 你. Notice the words: 你 do not sing 带 us 我们的 矛. 你唱 带 me my 矛. 这是你的战斗. It’s y我们的 job, alone.

          That’s why 你 sing 这 every morning. 作为布法罗神学院大家庭的一员，你不仅仅是一名学生. 你有使命. 当 the days get short, 漫漫长夜, 你承诺要在这里建造一座和平之城. We cannot control what happens outside 十大彩票平台. 但是我们可以…… 你 can … build a new 耶路撒冷 在这里. 我们所有人，包括你, 教师, 受托人——我们所有人都需要把东缅成为一座和平之城, 在这个地方，善良，同情，爱是我们前进的命令. Let’s do 那 today, and tomorrow, and the next.

          That’s why 你 sing 这 song. Let’s build 耶路撒冷 在这里 on Bidwell Parkway. 祝你今年愉快. 谢谢你！.

水牛神学院 Social and 学术 荣誉准则 is an integral part of life 在这里. It is ad在这里d to every day, but formally signed once a year in a dedicated 召开 assembly. 

Joan Kostick Andrews ‘48 冬季狂欢 Concert 歌唱着学生和教师们步入寒假. 合奏团演出, the student Glee Club and a cappella group the Semachords sing; even 教师 has a Glee Club!

It's also a tradition at Revel 那 你ng alumnae return home to 十大彩票平台 to catch up with teachers, 教练, and underclassmen and rejoin with the Semachords.

 

工商管理学院的毕业典礼在美丽而具有历史意义的地方举行 Westminster Presbyterian Church for as long as anyone can remember or document. (十大彩票平台 was founded in 1851 and Westminster was founded in 1847.)  Graduation is an all-school ceremony - freshmen, sophomores and juniors attend. 校友和前教员经常回到后排座位上. It's a day filled with red roses, white dresses, singing, tears, inspiration and hope.
