This year's population was 2% lower than population last June 2001. Certain reasons caused this declanation like financial status every family and the increasing public schools. Every year, increasing tuition fee seems to be a natural thing to be a natural thing for the administration to do to keep the school updated with the latest facilities and equipments needed by the students. Because of increased tuition fee, students have no chice to go to public schools, which affordable for them. But it is doesn't population declined, what matters are education we gain and the values it tends to develop in us.

LITERARY MARKS On Distance Shores by: Ner Virtus Medul Sweet, soft summer nights Dancing shadows in the starry lights You came for me to follow And we made dreams on distance of shores... Long quiet hours of play Sounds of silence from yesterday. Love came for me to follow And we held each other on distance shores... The simple plans of children playing, Raindrops fall as if they're saying "She came for you to follow" And we held each other on distant shores... The breeze of summer's gone Whispered memories as nights grows long, You came for me to follow You'll Never See Me Cry by: Ashley I've seen to happen to everyone, When hearts are broken, when things are done, When they rejected, hurt and stunned; I've learned my lesson from all and none. So I'm prepared when things go wrong, when heart is heavy, I sing a song, I shall not break for I am strong I'll go on living, I'll get along.
