The Last Precept

This was written on Mr. Browne’s chalkboard when we walked into
English class for the last time:

MR. BROWNE’S JUNE PRECEPT:

JUST FOLLOW THE DAY AND REACH FOR THE SUN!

(The Polyphonic Spree)

Have a great summer vacation, Class 5B!

It’s been a great year and you’ve been a wonderful group

of students.

If you remember, please send me a postcard this summer

with YOUR personal precept. It can be something you

made up for yourself or something you’ve read somewhere

that means something to you. (If so, don’t forget the

attribution, please!) I really look forward to getting them.
