Today in History
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, often cited as the
fi rst “concept album,” and as the inspiration for other great
pop stars of the 1960s, from the Stones and the Beach Boys
to Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye is released. It was the
Beatles’ eighth studio album and would come to be regarded
by many as the greatest in the history of rock and roll, and
oceans of ink would be spilt in praising and analyzing its
revolutionary qualities.

Of the Keizertimes
For three years Emma
Snyder couldn’t wait to open
the box and begin fl ipping
through the pages of McNary
Write Club’s latest book.
Not this year.
“This club has been my
lifeline through high school
so leaving it is defi nitely
bittersweet,” Snyder said.
“Knowing that this will be
the last book was defi nitely
a mixed feeling. It’s the work
I’m proudest of but I’m not
ready to leave yet.”
Pencil-scratch
Philosophy,
the Write Club’s seventh
and largest book yet, features
work from 23 writers over
140 pages, concluding with
Snyder’s poem Coin Collector.
“It’s something that I
worked on for four years
before I really had the
experiences and language
to share that message,” said
Snyder of Coin Collector,
which is about her own
struggles with anxiety and
depression. “I went through
four to six years and I’m
just coming out of it and I
thought that it’s an area that
not many people talk about
and they need to talk about. I
thought if my writing could
help someone else that’s
going through that, that was
something I should do.”
Snyder has been writing
since middle school but back
then her poems were always
funny and quirky.
“I got into an argument
with my table partner who
said those are great but you
can’t write anything serious
and those are the only things
that count and since then it
was like I bet I can,” Snyder
said. “I’m holding a grudge
since middle school.”
The past four Write Club
books are proof of Snyder’s
progress.
“High school was such a
big area of self discovery for
me, from getting through

middle school and having
those experiences there, just
getting to a point where I
am happy with my life and
happy with the place that I’m
leaving school at,” Snyder
said. “So I’d like to think that
my writing shows that.”
The book was also the
fi nal one for senior Parker
Kehret, who submitted a
poem, short story and fi lm
script.
“It’s been a really good
place to fi nd what I like to
do,” Kehret said. “I like to
write and this has helped me
cultivate that. I’m just going
to really miss the people. I’ve
really made good friends
here.”
McNary junior Lauren
Murphy has three pieces
in the book, including the
poem Dear Education.
“It is written to all of the
teachers who helped me
become who I am,” Murphy
said. “I wrote this to all of the
teachers who encouraged

Elks mark Flag Day June 10
On June 10, at 1 p.m.,
Keizer Elks Lodge will
celebrate Flag Day in a public
ceremony.
In the United States,
Flag Day is celebrated on
June 14th. It commemorates
the adoption of the fl ag of
the United States, on June
14, 1777, by resolution of
the Second Continental
Congress.
The Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks
has celebrated the holiday
since the early days of the
organization. In 1907, the
B.P.O.E.
Grand
Lodge
designated by resolution
June 14th as Flag Day, and
mandated observance of Flag
Day by every Lodge in 1911.
The
Elks
prompted
President Woodrow Wilson
to recognize the Order’s
observance of Flag Day for
its patriotic expression.
In
1916,
President
Woodrow Wilson issued a
proclamation that offi cially
established June 14 as Flag
Day and in August 1946,
National Flag Day was
established by an Act of
Congress. Flag Day is not
an offi cial federal holiday;
however, it is at the President’s
discretion
to
offi cially
proclaim its observance.
