ELOQUENT THE MAGAZINE OF EVANJELICKÉ LÝCEUM EDITOR’S NOTE Dear all, MARTIN SADLOŇ As we are watching the year 2015 in its ebb, we are on a threshold of a new era in the history of our school magazine. ELOQUENT. One of the most beautiful words in the English language, with a hidden reference to our school´s name in the first two letters (Evanjelické Lýceum), and a definition that could not be more suiting: fluent or persuasive in writing or speech. This word resonated with us so strongly that we chose it for our magazine´s title. It can be found in every page of the magazine as it stayed in our minds as we were writing and compiling articles for our very first issue. ELOQUENT, is aiming to combine a school magazine with a youth magazine. Hence, one can read about our School Events, both past and the ones that are in the making, interviews with faculty, student achievements, and advice from our Alumni. However, we are also bringing our students useful information in the context of traveling, scholarship opportunities, volunteer work, we even go as far as introducing colleges. It is important to mention that none of this would be possible without our editorial staff, so a shout-out to all the students who worked hard on every single article; shout-out to Professor Rogers, who agreed to be our first interviewee, and was a great model for our cover shoot; shout-out to Professor Jelen, who has been there for us, guiding our steps; and last but not least, our Principal, Prof. Prostredníková, for giving us a platform and full support of the school. Here is a kind greeting to our Editorial team from her: THERE IS A SAYING IN LATIN: “LITERA SCRIPTA MANET” – WRITTEN LETTER ABIDES. PEOPLE WHO WRITE MAKE HISTORY. PEOPLE WHO WILL WRITE FOR THE MAGAZINE OF OUR SCHOOL WILL MAKE ITS HISTORY. MANY THINGS ARE GOING ON IN THE LIFE OF OUR SCHOOL. HOWEVER ONLY WHAT WILL BE WRITTEN ABOUT STAYS FOR THE HISTORY. THAT MAKES THE MAGAZINE ELO- QUENT TO A GREAT AND POWERFUL TOOL IN HANDS OF ITS EDITORS. THEY WILL HAVE DOUBLE RESPONSIBILITY. ON THE ONE HAND JUST BY THE MERE SELECTION OF EVENTS AND TOPICS FOR PUBLICATION THEY WILL FORM THE CHARACTER OF OUR SCHOOL FOR THE PRESENT AND FOR THE HISTORY. ON THE OTHER HAND IT ALSO VERY MUCH DEPENDS ON HOW CLEAR AND TRUTH- FUL THESE EVENTS AND TOPICS WILL BE CAPTURED ON THE PAGES OF ELOQUENT. I WISH THE NEW MAGAZINE MANY ISSUES FULL OF INTERESTING VIEWS, HUMOR AND ABOVE ALL TRUTH ABOUT THE LIFE OF OUR SCHOOL. - E DITA PROSTREDNÍKOVÁ the principal of evanjelické lýceum 04 ELOQUENT
LÝCEUM LIFE Sadenie stromu Reformácie. . . V pondelok po jesenných prázdninách, 2. novembra 2015, sme na Lýceu zažili slávnostnú chvíľu. Zapojili sme sa do projektu Evanjelickej cirkvi a.v. na Slovensku „500 stromov Reformácie“ a v parčíku pred budovou školy sme zasadili lipu. Cieľom projektu „500 stromov Reformácie“ je do roku 2017 – 500. výročia začiaku Reformácie vo Wittenbergu - vysadiť na Slovensku pri školách, v cirkevných zboroch alebo strediskách diakonie 500 rôznych stromov. Lipa pri Evanjelickom lýceu je 118. stromom na Slovensku vysadeným v rámci tohto projektu. Túto nevšednú udalosť sme započali spevom za doprovodu študentov II.A pod vedením pani profesorky Ivany Jelen, M.M.. Spoločne sme zaspievali verš piesne Pane, prúdom požehnania (ES 633). Nad biblickým textom proroka Jeremiáša 17,5-8 sa krátko zamyslela naša pani spirituálka Mgr. Karolína Konopeusová. Pri sadení sa vystriedali pani riaditeľka Ing. Edita Prostredníková, následne pán farár Mgr. Ján Kolesár ako zborový farár v Bratislave – Petržalke, pán profesor Ole Schenk na znak priateľstva s ELCA a po ňom duchovná správkyňa Mgr. Karolína Konopeusová. Z partnerstva sme nevynechali ani študentov – za staršie ročníky lýcea priložil ruku k dielu Juraj Rojko zo 4.B a sadenie ukončili žiaci4. ročníka z Evanjelickej základnej školy na Palisádach. Požehnanie sme prijali z rúk brata farára Mgr. Jána Kolesára. Rozišli sme sa po zaspievaní druhého verša spomínanej piesne. Veríme, že pri pohľade na tento strom si každý kto prejde okolo spomenie na slová z Jeremiáša: „Požehnaný je muž, čo dúfa v Hospodina, ktorého nádejou je Hospodin. Bude ako strom zasadený pri vode, zapustí korene pri potoku, nebojí sa, že príde horúčava; lístie mu ostáva zelené, ani v suchých rokoch nemá starosti a neprestajne rodí ovocie.“ - Mgr. KAROLÍNA KONOPEUSOVÁ MOVIE NIGHT Popcorn? Check. Movie? Check. People? Not really… It wasn´t exactly a movie night because we met at 3:30 pm and started watching one of the greatest cartoon movies of this year: Inside Out from Pixar Animation Studios. First, we were disappointed because only few people showed up. Special thanks to prof. Rogers, prof. Silko and prof. Valušová for being there. The movie was amazing and the awesome humor made us smile quite a few times. It´s different when you watch movie with someone and you laugh together. So in the end we didn´t really care about the number and were enjoying Fear, Disgust, Anger, Sadness and Joy (main characters). Next time don´t be so shy and come eat pop corn… oh and of course watch a good movie. - Mariana Pittnerová OČAKÁVANIA VS SKUTOČNOSŤ Čo očakávali študenti od Evanjelického lýcea? - Myslela som si, že dôraz na náboženstvo bude oveľa väčší ako je teraz. Ale nevadí mi to. - Že sa moja angličtina veľmi zlepší, nájdem si super kolektív, nadobudnem nové skúsenosti. - Nový začiatok, ľudia príliš náboženskí, za čo ma budú odcudzovať, veľa pravidiel. Aká bola skutočnosť? - Rozumní ľudia, ťažké ale logické učivo, v pohode učitelia. - Páči sa mi prístup amerických lektorov a angličtina je naozaj na úrovni. - Páči sa mi že sa moje očakávania splnili, nepáči sa mi, že tou angličtinou až príliš na nás tlačia. - Zuzana Obrancová ELOQUENT 05
