Wrestlingby Charles Heath
Wrestling is a story not often toldThere is no worrying about the coldI never thought that I would be good at itAnd with luck I’ll never be in need of a medical kitI went onto the mat half scared to deathHe hit me in the chest, well there goes my breathI wanted to pull him down and then pound until he was on the groundWell, that’s how I wrestle always in fearI guess I’m not good enough for a career
Check out the
Brunswick
Beacon in color on the Brunswick

Squashby Charles Heath
Racquet, high and ready for ball to arrivePlayers in the courtThe “T”, the place you run to stay aliveGoggles on the face hoping not to hit it shortOut of bounds, not the place to hit when down by fiveThe tin, the kind of shot that’s not your sortServe it deep or you’ll not survive
Snow Dayby Charles Heath
This year has been a very hot winter
It hasn’t resulted in anything but splinters.
I was wishing for a snow day to stay away from
school,That would be so awesomely cool.
I awoke one morning to the sound of a bird,
It was snowing, how absurd.
Finally, a snow day for me,Now it’s time to relax and
play Wii.

Trapeze School Birthdayby Charles Heath
One day for my birthday, I went to trapeze schoolIt was nothing like having a karate dual.
I looked up 25 feet in the air,A place like this should be very rare.
They asked the birthday boy to go first,I guess that’s me, but I am definitely worst.
I had to chalk my hands and climb up the ladder,When I got up, I was suddenly gladder.
I had to lean over the edge to be terrified again,But I had to do it to turn ten!

Brunswick’s Lower School Mar4n Luther King Day
by Adam Morris
Mar%n Luther King Day at Brunswick school was a very big occasion. Everyone had a great %me with the Lower, Middle, and Upper school boys with their speeches and all the singers. What Mar%n Luther king did was great. Mar%n Luther King did what no one could have ever done. We all are proud that he made this big change for the world. He made all African Americans feel welcome. He changed everyone’s thoughts about how black people were treated. His speech at the Lincoln Memorial was heard worldwide. AFer that speech, America was changed by one man who cared about all people, no maGer what their skin color.

Why Mrs. Das Should Root for the Patriots by Frankie Vassalluzzo
I am writing this essay to convince Mrs. Das to root for the New England Patriots. I hope after reading this paper she will be convinced. Mrs. Das should root for the Patriots because their record is 13-3. Tom Brady is a great quarterback because this year he has 5,069 passing yards and he had 5 super bowl appearances. He’s won three and lost one, not including this Super Bowl. This Super Bowl is a rematch. You may like the Giants because you live close to New York. Also, Miss John is rooting for them. Their record is 9-7. Over the years Tom Brady is better than Eli Manning. The Patriots won four more games than the Giants this season. Eli Manning won one Super Bowl; Tom Brady won three Super Bowls. Because I took the time to write this you should agree with me.
