has to incite change, the penchant each
student has to convey opinion through art,
and permitted the LREI community to have such
an imperative resource.
Thank you all so much!
Letter from the Editors
Hello dear readers,
We hope you have had a restful spring
break and great start to your trimester. We
are so excited to finally publish the first
edition of Trimester 3!
Following this June, we will be turning
over all INFO editing, printing, and
distribution responsibilities to Avery, Clio,
George, Verity and Violet. We are thrilled to
turn over the magazine to them and trust that
they will continue to carry on the legacy of
uncensored student expression.
This week’s cover was made by Meadow
Magee and Leanne Daley, and the art on the
back was made by Gee Currie. We have included
an incredible piece of critical analysis from
our future INFO Editor, George Lupinacci,
alongside an op-ed by Keanu Arpels-Josiah
concerning the school’s use of cleaning
products. Finally, we have included another
highly respected anonymous bathroom review,
alongside an informative update on the state
of LREI’s bathrooms.
Thank you all for reading!
Best,
Piper, Tilda, Rhyus, and Z
Letter to the Editors
Future 2022/23 Editors
Hi LREI,
We’re Avery, Clio, Violet, Verity, and
George — next year’s editors of INFO
magazine. After seeing the first few issues
released this year, we were really interested
in INFO and thought that it was a compelling
addition to the student body's utilities for
expression. We are grateful to participate in
this outlet as it allows students to submit
art and write about their opinions, passions,
and the happenings of LREI. Furthermore, we
appreciated the conversation INFO provoked
amongst our community and saw it as a vital
aspect of our school.
We hope to value the historical
significance of INFO as it was a project
students created in the 40s and was recently
found in the archives by the current editors!
When we realized Tilda, Piper, Rhyus, and Z
would be graduating in a year, we were
concerned that the publication would no
longer continue. Naturally, we wanted to take
over when the editors were gone in order to
further the legacy of INFO and continue to
highlight the expression of our classmates.
We love that INFO adheres to the voice of the
student body without censorship or
impartialities to affect what is released.
We also want to thank Tilda, Piper,
Rhyus, and Z for continuing the publication
of INFO. Through their dedication this year

3. One of the first topics covered when
learning about any apocalypse, in this case,
the Christian interpretation, is the signs.
How many, when will they come, where should
one look for them, what do they look like.
Humans see signs in war, in disease, in small
superstitions, things that remind them of
their past. The Christian Apocalypse teaches
people that anything can be a sign and that
they must remain hypervigilant. Motifs can
play a similar role in the arts, the
listener, viewer, reader, etc. are taught to
keep an eye out for symbols that could affect
the course of a story or their
interpretations. How does the lexicon of the
Christian Apocalypse affect the usage of
symbolism in media?
In “Real Death” by the band Mount Eerie,
a solo project created by Phil Elverum, death
is not beautiful and it lacks further
meaning. “Real Death” is written about the
death due to cancer of Elverum’s wife,
Geneviève Castrée, and his emptiness and lack
of feeling that follows. The lyrics are
simple, with no embellishment. In the first
lines of the song, and of the entire album,
Elverum sings “death is real, someone’s there
and then they're not/And it’s not for singing
about; it’s not for making into art/When real
death enters the house, all poetry is dumb.”
Elverum opens the album by undermining his
attempts to process his grief through music.
The beauty and inspiration Elverum once
derived from the art representing the death
of strangers seems like a glamorization and
Modern Symbolism and the Christian
Apocalypse
George Lupinacci
Brief context:
Over the summer, I took a three-week
pre-college course on the apocalypse (cheery,
I know). One of our major assignments was to
write an essay on the impact of Christian
Apocalyptic Theory on modern American
culture, politics, etc. In the class, we
explored everything from speeches delivered
following 9/11 to the first episode of
Russian Doll through the lens of what our
teacher referred to as the tenets of
Christian Apocalyptic Theory: fatalism,
cataclysm, and moral binary. A guaranteed and
eventful end, with defined good and evil, is
essential to the story of the apocalypse, and
to modern media and politics. The Christian
Apocalypse is very definite, these things
will happen, in this order, to those who are
deserving of them. Its signs and steps are
delineated in such a way that it would be
impossible to mistake the apocalypse for
anything else. I wanted to explore works that
challenge the determinism of symbols
associated with death and/or endings. I
discuss works that do not rationalize the
sense of ending, much like the Christian
Apocalypse, through the use of symbols with
pre-existing associations. I highly suggest
Megan Garber’s piece “Apocalypse is Now a
Chronic Condition”, published in The
Atlantic.

4. situation, or hasn’t experienced it
personally.” Sweeping statements
about the end of one’s world that accompany
depictions of loss lack the emotion that can
come with specificity. The pain of a
cataclysmic event such as this is not derived
from the end, but that one is expected to
keep going, and that the relics of the past
will always linger. There is no fatalism in
this narrative. The worst has happened, now
it is time for the pain of simply carrying
on.
In Lydia Millet’s A Children’s Bible, a
young boy decodes the bible as the world
around him falls apart in an apocalyptic
manner. At the start of the book, a group of
adults that were friends in college rented a
somewhat decrepit Gilded Age mansion in the
countryside for the summer. Their children,
mostly teenagers united in their disdain for
their parents' hedonism, have developed a
game in which the goal is to hide whose
parents belong to whom. The teens are kind to
each other and their younger siblings, but
cruel to the adults who leave the children to
take care of themselves. When the adults
chose to dance as they became more inebriated
“a flash of life would move their lumpen
bodies. Sad spectacle… They were a cautionary
tale” (Millet). The novel is narrated by
Evie, a teenager whose priority is to take
care of her younger brother Jack, as the
adults have tasked the adolescents with
childcare. One day, Evie discovers one of the
mothers has given Jack a picture book
children’s bible. Jack was
overcomplication of the simple nature of
death. In an interview regarding the song,
Elverum said that while searching for greater
meaning and symbolism in everything following
the death of his wife, he realized “profound
thoughts and profound experiences get
revealed to be tricks that we play on
ourselves, and poetry gets revealed to be
just, like, some dumb words that somebody put
in an interesting order.” He sings not of the
obvious moments in grief, but of in the week
following his loss retrieving a package his
wife ordered in secret, containing a backpack
for when their young daughter would
eventually start school. Castrée was
“thinking ahead to a future you must have
known deep down would not include you”
(Elverum). Loss that seems to destroy one’s
sense of self did come in a cataclysmic event
for Elverum, but that loss continues to
reverberate in what follows. In the mail, in
backpacks, in the smallest aspects of life,
that is where the nature of grief and the end
of what is known to be true is most apparent.
When loss comes, it is more tangible than one
could expect. The most well known and often
used motifs in poetry regarding death or
mourning, rotting fruit, a wilting rose,
hungry worms, all of it is metaphor. Many
beloved Shakespearean sonnets utilize these
motifs when invoking impermanence, though,
for all their poetic skill, they lack the
pathos that accompanies a backpack arriving
too late. Elverum says “a person who writes a
poem like that either has some kind of
emotional disconnect

5. the children versus those of the adults,
though it is hard to say the teens' opinion
regarding it is always characterized by hate.
Most of the time, Evie and her peers express
disappointment and disdain. When the teens
feel compelled to drink and hook up to cope
with the pain that accompanies their dire
situation, they quickly realize these are the
same methods that resulted in anger toward
their parents. In moments of clarity, the
protagonists will acknowledge that their
parents also had hopes for the future, hopes
that, much like their own, could not come
true due to the actions of their
predecessors. What truly separates the
children from their parents is that they had
no choice but to act in order to stay alive;
the adults were resigned to their eventual
doom and continued living as they were
accustomed until cataclysm occurred.
After the storm's destruction of the
house, parental apathy, the start of a
pandemic, and the warning that the children
should leave before further destruction
ensues, issued by Burl, an emaciated man who
floated on the storm asleep on a raft like
Moses, it becomes apparent that the children
must find a better shelter. Burl works on the
grounds of a rich elderly woman referred to
as simply “The Owner,” and takes the kids
there to seek safety. Back at the mansion,
many of the parents have become sick, and the
single mother of Sukey, one of the teens,
appears at their farm, her water having just
burst. In a barn and with the aid of some
trail angels, volunteers who
raised by liberal parents in the arts and
academia, and has no understanding of
Christianity, believing the book to be no
more than a collection of stories. He keeps
seeing echoes of the bible in his world.
Eventually, the book about simple teen
annoyance takes a turn, those echoes become
more common, and a series of storms hit
Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, and
possibly more areas. The adults haphazardly
put boards on the windows and discuss using
Amazon Prime to order the necessities while
the children make sure everyone is accounted
for and Jack attempts to collect animals,
inspired by Noah’s Ark in his bible. The
adults lie on the floor, passing around
marijuana and posturing that “capitalism was
the last nail in the coffin,” failing to
acknowledge their culpability, as the teens
gather food and explain climate change to the
terrified younger siblings (Millet). In the
wake of the storm, the cost of necessities
increases, food is depleted, cell service is
rare. They seem resigned to the fate of the
world, bemoaning how society has continually
been declining, while unable to comprehend
the extent to which the world has changed.
The adults still assume they can contact
emergency services in a world where a box of
tampons costs forty dollars, in a world where
the roads are flooded, a world that their
cynicism and inaction caused. As it becomes
evident that the systems in place have
collapsed, the parents do more drugs and
sleep around. There is a clear line between
the values and morals of

6. God is trying to teach you something. The
doubtful are supposed to look for symbols and
meaning everywhere to rationalize their pain.
When the narrators of “Real Death” and A
Children’s Bible encounter cataclysm, they
search for the signs of the apocalypse to
point them toward the future or explain their
past. Media such as this is created when
artists illustrate that the world is not
structured around the tropes and signs
outlined in the apocalypse. In life, there is
no burning bush or bloodied rivers, the
people and protagonists continue to stumble
on or give up on their own accord, there are
no signs from the universe telling them they
are meant to keep going or not. The children
were not meant to weather the end because of
their moral superiority over their parents,
they had experienced similar woes and
feelings, they were just jaded in a different
way. A cataclysm was not meant to occur in
Phil’s life because the universe thought he
was in need of a lesson, death just happens.
Evie and Phil were not meant to be sure of
their fate after destruction and death
occurred, they simply carried on and learned
how to survive after pain. The Christian
Apocalypse may like to say otherwise, but
nothing is meant to happen. It just does.
maintain the safety of trails and provide
food and water to hikers, the mother gives
birth. The reader wants to believe that the
events reminiscent of the bible will follow
the prescribed course, that the angels will
protect this world's Mary. The mother dies of
blood loss.
Millet uses tropes of the Christian
apocalypse to provide the readers with hope
and quickly dash it. As Christian imagery
keeps appearing but either adds little to the
progression of the plot, or the expectation
associated with it is subverted, the reader
thinks that maybe these archetypes are
arbitrary. The guiding images in media and
life are just that: images. The positive
fatalism that occurs in the bible causes the
characters and reader to believe that with
faith in good nature and persistence, the
novel will end happily. Their appearance
provides false hope, the idea that maybe
these events could resolve positively the way
they do in the bible. God, Jesus, faith,
hope, those all saved humans in these
situations in the bible, but they aren’t
guaranteed to help in real life.
“Real Death” and A Children's Bible both
use imagery to challenge the desire to derive
meaning from the apocalypse, while one lacks
motif, and the other is overflowing with it.
When tragedy occurs, the immediate response
is frequently “why me?” The Christian
Apocalypse’s answer is that it was caused by
one’s sin and that living through suffering
is the result of one’s piousness. When a
cataclysm occurs,

8. In 2012, Spic and Span was found to
contain a chemical compound known as
Nonylphenol Ethoxylate.5
Nonylphenol
Ethoxylate, when broken down, “can harm the
human hormone system, and is highly toxic to
aquatic life.”6
For this reason, products
containing Nonylphenol Ethoxylate have been
banned in the European Union and California
since 2012.7
The manufacturer now claims on
their website that it is not included in
their current formula,8
however, it is
unclear from our research if it was actually
ever removed, we could not find anything
conclusive. However, the manufacturer does
acknowledge that Spic and Span also contains
another chemical compound known as
2-(2-Butoxyethoxy) ethanol,9
which causes
“serious eye damage/irritation.”10
In
addition, some versions of Spic and Span
contain a type of chemical called alkyl
dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride,11
which
has many environmental risks associated with
it.12
Lastly, the Environmental Working Group
(EWG), which is a relatively well-known
non-profit organization (largely funded by
the organic food industry) and activist group
focused on toxic chemicals and corporate
accountability,13
ranked the “Spic and Span
Multi-Surface and Floor Cleaner” second on
its “‘Hall of Shame’ of Toxic Household
Cleaners,”14
giving some of their products an
F letter grade.15
There are also many health effects
associated with some of the other cleaning
products we use, including the Zagers Pine
Disinfectant, which we used excessively last
The Cleaning Products We Use are Both
Unsafe and Harmful.
Keanu Arpels-Josiah
The cleaning products we use are not only
unsafe, but have health and environmental
effects associated with them that show they
are actively harmful to our health, and our
environment.
The maintenance team uses, in both
buildings, a variety of cleaning products to
ensure that they are able to keep the areas
we work, eat, walk, and learn in as clean as
possible.1
They arrive in the building long
before we begin classes, and stay for long
hours after we leave at 3:20. Their
invaluable hard work is too often ignored by
us as a community, too often overlooked and
taken for granted, so I am, in part, writing
this article to thank the incredibly
dedicated and hard-working maintenance team
we have at our school.
We, all, are frequently exposed to these
cleaning products and their health effects,
but the maintenance team is constantly in
close quarters with these toxic products
every day.2
What do I mean these products are
toxic? What am I talking about?
Well, the maintenance team uses a variety
of products regularly to keep our school
clean. These include Clorox, Comet, Zagers
Pine Disinfectant (which you may remember
being used as a spray last year), Fabuloso,
and an “all-purpose spray and glass cleaner”3
called Spic and Span.4

9. and writing this article, I have reached out
to Robert Romero via email about the
possibility of meeting with him about this a
total of four times. Twice in October, while
doing the research, and twice more in the
past two weeks on behalf of the Student
Government. He has yet to respond to any of
them (as of writing this on Monday, April
18th).26
When bringing up with Javier Ortega some
of the research I had done, I asked him if he
knew about these health effects and if not,
how he felt learning it. He answered, saying
“we had no idea,” “I feel like we should do
better… knowing which products [to use]
because, long term effects or short term
effects,… nobody wants to [get sick].”27
Going on to say, “I’ll hear people… like they
have cancer because they used so many
chemicals… and then what? People die or you
get sick, so yeah, I think we should do
better, do research before buying [the
products].”28
I then asked him if he thinks
we should look into considering changing the
products, offering the example of Spic and
Span. He responded, saying he thinks so,
“yeah, I mean, if it’s banned in other
countries… yeah.”29
He concluded the
interview by saying that because of the
concern of cancer, and other health effects,
“we should do research before buying stuff.”
Saying that we should talk to someone who is
an expert about this and find better
alternatives, even “if it is more expensive,
in the end, it is better for the people who
are working maintenance” and are “using
year as a spray.16
By law, companies must
create a Safety Data Sheet that lists all
health and safety information related to the
product for all of their products.17
The
Zagers Pine Disinfectant’s Safety Data Sheet
says the substance has a “high health hazard”
and that it is “harmful in contact with
skin,” “toxic to aquatic life,”18
despite the
seller claiming on their website that it
“will not irritate skin.”19
The last of the cleaning products that I
have researched is the Fabuloso Multi-Purpose
Liquid Cleaner.20
This product, receiving an
F grade from the Environmental Working Group
(EWG) is characterized as “acutely” toxic to
aquatic life, with a “moderate concern” of
damage to vision, respiratory effects,
nervous system effects, general
systemic/organ effects, digestive system
effects, skin irritation/allergies/damage, as
well as, “some concern” of cancer.21
I have
also found cancer, asthma, eye damage, and
reproductive health risks linked to chemicals
found in Comet22
(some of which are not
listed on the label)23
, which we use to clean
the bathroom floors.24
Due to the countless health effects
associated with these products, I decided to
meet with Javier Ortega from the maintenance
team. I first asked him why we use the
cleaning products we use. He responded,
saying he didn’t know but that Robert Romero,
the head of maintenance at our school,
usually is responsible for placing the
orders.25
Throughout doing this research

10. With hope for change,
Keanu Arpels-Josiah
I would like to thank Javier Ortega,
Daniel LI, and Jonathan Segal who all helped
tremendously with the research of the
cleaning products we use. I also would like
to thank Student Government, in particular,
Junior Executive Leah Maathey, who has been a
great support in pushing for this change.
Lastly, I would like to thank all of the INFO
editors, especially Piper Jassem, who helped
greatly with some of the citations.

[these products] every day.”30
The cleaning products we use in the
building need to change. We cannot keep using
these products, now, knowing the health
effects associated with them. On Tuesday,
April 12th, I brought this up in a Student
Government meeting with Margaret Paul, and we
agreed that change needs to be explored.
Student Government hopes to meet with Robert
Romero, head of maintenance, sometime this
week to discuss the possibility of a change,
and then, later this month, with Josh Marks,
our school’s Chief Financial Officer. In
writing this article, I am asking that our
school take seriously the health of the
maintenance team, and all those in the
building, and properly research all of the
cleaning products we use and replace those
with extreme health and environmental risks
as soon as possible. There are a multitude of
“greener,” healthier, and relatively cheap
cleaning products now available,31
the EWG,
for example, has a list of some of the best
products on their website,32
and even if
finding products that do not pose an imminent
danger to our health is slightly more
expensive, we must do so. It is our
responsibility as a wealthier private school.
It is our responsibility as a community that
values the work of those who clean our
building day and night for us. It is our
responsibility as a school dedicated to
social justice and to equity.33
