    青少年X-C在公园邀请赛中取得胜利

    祝贺胜利的Roxbury Latin队在10月22日的公园邀请赛上击败了其他15支队伍,夺得了团体冠军。在178名选手中,RL的所有选手都进入了前100名。Daniel Gillis(总成绩第2名)和Nolan McKenna(总成绩第3名)因其在队伍前面的出色表现而获得个人奖牌。

     

    还有Dromgoole教练的一句话。

    男子:这是一个关于球队关键的第5名跑者的重要教训。米尔顿队有4名选手进入前13名(!)。在第四名选手进场后,他们领先RL 15分(RL的1-4号选手=49分/米尔顿的1-4号选手=34分)。然而,米尔顿的第5名选手在团体总分中排名第73位。在米尔顿的第5名之前,RL有11名选手参赛。这些人是我们今天的决定性因素。干得好!团队成绩在此个人成绩在此

  • 艺术与技术班参观动感艺术家Anne Lilly的工作室

    艺术与技术班参观动感艺术家Anne Lilly的工作室

    10月5日,苏-麦克洛里的技术与艺术班前往萨默维尔的动感艺术家安妮-莉莉的工作室,她的机械化不锈钢雕塑作品有力、优雅,让人看得如痴如醉。

    莉莉 "使用精心设计的运动来转移和操纵我们对时间、空间和能量的感知。......采用相反的模式--分析和直觉,理性和感性--莉莉的雕塑在我们外部的物理空间和我们自己的私人心理领域之间引起了新的联系。它们通常是用机械加工的不锈钢制造的,但需要观众的触摸来启动运动:将临床质量压在每件作品的感性反应上"。(摘自艺术家的网站)请看她的作品实例。

    在课堂上,男孩们学习艺术背后的技术,研究那种创新的工程和技术实践,以解释宝塔是如何在没有钉子的情况下建成的,或者巨大的圆顶是如何建成而不倒塌的,以及其他艺术背后的技术--雕塑、绘画和印刷。请看访问的照片。

    Beyond historical architectural feats and classical studio arts, the curriculum also pushes students to analyze how the principles of motion, feedback, and user interaction translate into contemporary digital environments. Understanding how physical mechanisms capture human attention provides a foundation for examining modern user interface design, procedural animation, and real-time interactive systems. From physical kinetic installations to digital user experiences, the underlying challenge remains the same: balancing technical precision with intuitive human engagement.

    In recent years, the intersection of technology and design has expanded into complex digital platforms where user retention relies heavily on smooth micro-interactions and instant visual feedback. Software developers and digital designers frequently adapt principles from physical kinetic art—such as momentum, easing, and rhythmic tension—to create immersive digital environments. Whether designing interactive data visualizations, high-frequency trading dashboards, or gamified web platforms, creators draw on these fundamental concepts to make digital spaces feel responsive and tactile.

    This cross-disciplinary approach is particularly visible across the competitive landscape of modern digital entertainment and online gaming interfaces. Interactive web developers building high-traffic applications focus extensively on rendering fluid UI animations, optimizing asset pipelines, and delivering instant transaction feedback that keeps users engaged throughout extended sessions. In technical reviews of high-volume web platforms, analysts frequently note how top-tier operators, including the best bitcoin casino platforms, utilize low-latency rendering frameworks to maintain visual responsiveness under heavy load. Studying these commercial implementations allows students to observe how precise software engineering directly influences user behavior across both physical and virtual spaces.

    Connecting these broad commercial applications back to core artistic principles gives the students a clearer perspective on career paths in engineering and industrial design. By analyzing both historic structures and modern digital interfaces, the class learns that compelling design is rarely just about aesthetics; it is an active dialogue between the object and the observer. Seeing how professional sculptors and software engineers address comparable challenges of balance and motion demystifies the technical process.

    The visit to Anne Lilly’s studio served as a vivid capstone to these classroom discussions, offering the boys a firsthand look at how raw stainless steel can be transformed through precise machining into living, breathing art. Watching the sculptures respond to a light touch reinforced the idea that technology, when applied with intent, can evoke a profound emotional response. Experiences like this bridge the gap between abstract textbook concepts and real-world creative mastery, inspiring the next generation of engineers, artists, and innovators.

  • 服务活动拉开序幕

    10月20日星期二,Roxbury Latin在礼堂拉开了年度服务活动的序幕,启动了年度全校募捐活动和一项额外的举措:由一班牵头的感恩节食品募捐活动。前一天,五班和六班用一个服务上午在两个地方做了一般的维护工作--五班去了Hale Reservation(Robert Sever Hale, RL 1887和托管人),六班去了Dudley Square的古老公墓,我们创始人的葬地。(见这里的照片)。

     

    全校性的筹款活动将支持博茨瓦纳Maru a Pula学校的奖学金(由高年级学生Logan WarshawJake Rooney在暑假期间访问)和Tim Bilodeau'68创办的人类药品组织。RL社区为食物募捐活动捐赠的食物将被收集起来,并在感恩节前作为护理包分发给有需要的家庭。

     

    RL将服务作为我们的一个重要组成部分来看待。虽然募捐活动和食品捐赠活动将在两周内结束,但我们的班级服务工作和合作项目是在整个学年内进行的。为了帮助支持这些服务项目,我们成立了一个学生领导委员会。联合主席Liam McDonoughI和Brendan McInerneyI,联合副主席Aidan BurkeII和Jacob MorrisII,以及各班级服务代表,在接下来的几周里将特别忙碌。

  • 六年级学生在学校的第一个月里覆盖了地面

    在学期开始后的短时间内,六班的孩子们走过了很多地方。两次实地考察--传统的六班海狸溪之行和哈佛自然历史博物馆之行--使他们远离了校园。第三次是在他们自己的后院进行的跋涉:作为自然设计课程的一个单元,男孩们冒险进入RL森林,识别和绘制植物群。
