I write a monthly computer advice column for my local paper. Next
month's column will focus on "cool web sites." I need a word to
complete the alliterative phrase in the following paragraph:

About a year before my last high school and college class reunions, I
decided to create a web site for each. The positive feedback was
overwhelming. Many reestablished contact with old friends, and both
reunion attendance and annual fund donations increased markedly over
previous years. With no modesty whatsoever, I invite you to have a
look at these peerless paradigms of  pedagogical _______________:
http://blake57.bizland.com (high school) and
http://carleton61.bizland.com (college). Why not encourage one of your
own class alpha geeks to establish a similar site?

"Pedigogical" isn't exactly what I'm looking for either, so if you can
come up with the last two "p" words in the phrase, that would be even
better. What I'm trying to say here is that I believe these two sites
to be models of what a class web site should be.

The phrase needs to convey the intended meaning: class web site
paradigms/models. "participatory persuasion"?

And the winner is.......ME! I really appreciate your suggestions, but
have decided to go with a version of my own devising:

MAGNIFICENT MODELS OF MATCHLESS MAGNETISM.

Since this is likely to become a contest of comments before you pick a
winner, let me get the ball rolling with a couple of quick
suggestions:

"postgraduation projects"
"palpable pleasure"

It doesn't suit the context, but I am very fond of the phrase
"pusillanimous pussyfooting," so I'm gonna say it just for its own
sake.

How about "personal powwows?" "Pupil-to-pupil pairings?" "post-pubescent parleys?"

Or, if college these days is anything like my college times in the
1960s, maybe "pot parties" would fit nicely. :-D

pulchritudinous profundity

or

another letter:  matchless models of  . . .

or

how about finding the last phrase first & then building the adjectives in front?

e.g., illustrious instances of interpersonal intelligence
