Cafeteria Food

catherine prestoy, reporter January 20, 2012

Masculine Materials

Natalie Hiebert, Reporter January 19, 2012

Men’s fashion. When I was first asked to write about this, I honestly did not know where to begin. How do I write an article about a pair of jeans and a t-shirt? I decided the best way to find out...

Freshman Point of View

maria carrasco & catherine prestoy, beg. journalism students January 5, 2012

Dear Seniors, we are the freshmen that are apparently ruining your last year in high school. We are not the type of freshmen that are loud and obnoxious. We’re not the immature kids we were...

Pucker Up in Private

ciara sayler, beg. journalism student January 5, 2012

Holiday Hoopla

Holiday Hoopla

Bullying, Hazing, Terrorizing…It’s All the Same

hannah moran, reporter October 27, 2011

"JAMIE IS STUPID, GAY, FAT ANND UGLY. HE MUST DIE!" one post said. Another read, "I wouldn't care if you died. No one would. So just do it :) It would make everyone WAY more happier!" Suffering constant...

More exams create more stress, not better scores

katie guyot, copy editor October 4, 2011

Time for a pop quiz. But don’t worry--this is one score that won’t show up on your college applications. 1. The (SAT/ACT) is taken on the East and West Coasts, while the (SAT/ACT) is taken in...

The young ones #3- a sophomore’s survival guide to being on the bottom

sarah whipple, reporter September 18, 2011

School is in full swing as teachers begin to assign projects and hand out tests. The weather acclimates into a cool breeze. And the football team settles their plays and starts to have more chemistry as...

Miranda’s Column

miranda davis, editor in chief September 7, 2011

Dear Freshmen, I’m one of those seniors. The kind who will probably not like you. The type who will be irate if you go to prom. And may God help the freshmen that sits in front of me at a football game....

The young ones #2- A sophomore’s survival guide to being on the bottom

sarah whipple, reporter September 7, 2011
