I love old textbooks. Especially pre-1970's. The best part is that out o the context of the story the jokes write themselves.
With a shot straight from the textbook, Great Preston look for runs on the off side against Buttershaw St Paul's. Sadly, most of the hosts' batting lacked this sort of discipline, and Great Preston went out of the All Rounder Cricket Bradford Premier League's Jack Hampshire Cup at the first round stage after an 80-run defeat. It was a meeting of the top two in the league's Conference division. Victory enabled Buttershaw to extend to five games their 100 per cent start to the 2016 season. A partnership worth 88 for the sixth wicket between Benjamin Platt (52no) and James Robson (48) saw Saints recover from 87-4 to post a total Great Preston's slipshod batting never threatened to challenge. The visitors clinched a place in round two by taking all but one catching opportunity.
Match statistics: Buttershaw St Paul's 210-6 off 40 overs (Benjamin Platt 52no, James Robson 48, Adam Wainwright 28, Lee Russell 2-21, Ian Newton 2-62) beat Great Preston 130 off 34.3 overs (Danusha Ranasinghe 37, Stuart Ruddick 27, Lee Russell 21, Dharmesh Mistry 4-20, Benjamin Platt 3-23, Thomas Baker 2-27) by 80 runs. Great Preston won the toss and elected to bat. Admission: free. Programme: none. Attendance: 45.
Great Preston have played on the Berry Lane ground since their formation in 1884. Their original name was Great Preston Old Hall Cricket Club. Owing to the village's geographical position, close to the boundaries of East, North and West Yorkshire, Great Preston have played in several leagues, namely the Sagar-Musgrave Challenge Cup (1891), the Woodlesford & District (1893), the Barkston Ash (1899), the Leeds (1970), the Wetherby (2000) and the Central Yorkshire (2015). They moved competitions against over the winter of 2015-16 when the Bradford and Central Yorkshire leagues merged to create a four-division structure.
The village has close links with coal mining. The National Coal Board bought the Berry Lane ground in 1947 and erected a new pavilion, extant today. Subsidence caused by mining meant in the 1974 season Great Preston had to play every game away from home. Closure of the village's miners welfare in 2006 threatened the club's existence but the efforts of the committee and the community ensured they survived. Under a naming rights sponsorship deal, the Berry Lane ground is this season known as the Neil's Carpets Oval.

This notebook has a long story.
originally, these were the textbooks we used at my middle school, circa 1996. The following year, the textbooks were replaced, and I took one of the old copies and brought it home where it sat for a few years.
In 1999, I took out the insides of the book,and replaced it with two composition notebooks, and used as my journal in 10th grade, writing about stupid and embarrassing things. In 2012, I threw out the insides, and remade this into a journal just for you! The insides are various multicolored cardstock pages, and I have comb binded the book. The inside cover is vintage diet coke 12 pack packaging.
A fantastic battle, right to the end and a match that even had a true Hollywood legend in attendance!

On September 15, 2014, Lt. Gov. Denn joined Principal Yolanda McKinney on a visit to Concord High School to sit in on Mr. Michael Kaufmann's AP Biology classroom.
All three Brandywine School District high schools (Brandywine, Concord, and Mount Pleasant) benefitted from the Accelerated Academic Grants to purchase AP science textbooks to complement the District’s commitment to both their science program of study and advanced placement opportunities for students. Concord HIgh School was also the first high school in Delaware to offer all of the AP STEM courses.
Mr. Michael Kaufmann was one of the 2 Delaware teachers that received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching two years ago. According to Principal McKinney, he also was awarded a grant-type award in memory of a great science teacher who passed away some time ago. That particular award is for innovative science teachers. WIth the funds from that award, Mr. Kaufmann purchased a high-powered digital microscope for the classroom.

The Spirit
By Michael Vance
For more than 10 years, “The Spirit” comics tabloid was inserted every week into newspapers as their challenge to the increasing popularity of newsstand comic books.
Its seven page lead feature followed the adventures of Denny Colt who, as The Spirit, fought crime with his fists instead of super powers. “The Spirit” comic book now reprints four of these stories each month with historical insights supplied by Spirit creator, Will Eisner.
“The Spirit” is famous for the great diversity of its themes, genres, and story-telling methods. In the sixty-first issue, Denny Colt takes a vacation to Cape Cod and becomes embroiled in a kidnapping, and stops the theft of an industrial formula. He also follows the ‘life’ of a common coffee saucer, and uncovers the murder of a cartoonist by his assistant.
Eisner’s art is reminiscent of Disney’s best animation work of the 1930s and ‘40s. There is an added film noir quality that heightens its effectiveness through the use of black against white, and often odd scene angles. This art and Eisner’s visual story-telling techniques have strongly influenced generations of artists who’ve used “The Spirit” as a textbook.
Although limited by the feature’s seven page format, he is also adept at concentrated, clear plots and at creating well-defined and interesting characters. Eisner is particularly well known for his women villains, many of whom were visually based on famous actresses.
In fact, many consider Eisner to be one of the few geniuses of comics, and one of the first to believe comics an artform. Eisner, however, was not quite as innovative as held by critics. He is the first to admit heavy influences from earlier works including “Prince Valiant”, “Flash Gordon”, and “Terry and the Pirates”, all newspaper comic strips.
“The Spirit” does suffer from the formulas required to produce a weekly comic book for over a decade. But, taken in small doses, it’s an entertaining, even occasionally thought-provoking work that deserves to be read and enjoyed.

I like the minimalist design.
These are my textbooks for English, history, math, and physics classes. You should always bring your textbook to each class you go to, otherwise it will not be a beneficial and productive class for your. Also, keeping your textbooks clean and not to lose them are two things you have to remember. You are going to see people sending e-mails that they lost their books, and calculators.
