Hoping for a cheat sheet, I looked to the Yearbook, surely the ultimate Cliffs Notes of one's college experience. But there, each senior's picture is accompanied by a name, permanent address, academic concentration, and a list of extracurricular activities, nothing more. Apparently someone decided 50 years ago that what best sums up our college experience is whether or not we participated in intramural sports. But who could possibly care about whether we rowed House crew? Instead, shouldn't it say, to be accurate, "Discovered that her time is hers, and she should never, ever, defer life"? Or perhaps...

...choir room last Tuesday when something very different was walking the halls. By the end of that gruesome day, by the time 15 people had died, her friends among them, she had her yearbook of humanity and integrity signed in blood. As Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris prowled the school with their guns and bombs, this is what the children did: a boy draped himself over his sister and her friend, so that he would be the one shot. A boy with 10 bullet wounds in his leg picked up an explosive that landed by him and hurled it away...

...says Alejandra Marsh, 16. "We went over to someone's house and watched cartoons. We loved Pinky and the Brain and Animaniacs."

Insanity's healthy. Stay alive, stay different, stay crazy...

...good-looking guy with solid parents, that cute Jenny White for a girlfriend and a nonstop sense of humor, the kind that could always cheer you up. And Ethan Thrower, sweet kid, churchgoer, MVP on the track team, a member of the elite Royal Blues choir, honor roll, yearbook, the whole deal. They were the most popular kids at the biggest school in town, a public school but a prestigious one--it even has a lacrosse team--a place so idyllic that Hollywood came there to film Mr. Holland's Opus...

When executed skillfully, plan files present a snapshot of the author's values and intellectual preoccupations. Some people, however, seem to think that a plan file is the e-mail equivalent of a high school yearbook. They abuse our patience by writing 10-screen long plan files, filled with every obscure reference, movie line and aphorism they've collected over the past year. Such hodgepodge plan files are universally condemned by the critics. If you're about to put down 40 or so witty saying please keep the following maxim mind: Unless you're Voltaire, I really don't care...
