Aside from the exceptional academic, musical, athletic and theatrical success, this is a high school and there are inevitably some pretty disgusting things that go on in a building full of teenagers. Though most students hold their noses or avert their eyes to avoid these unpleasant things, in the spirit of freedom of the press and hard-hitting investigative journalism, our staff decided to bring these nasty things out in the open. We took a vote on the grossest things we see going on throughout the school. Here are our top ten picks:

Is this Gabe Ballard-Hanson an actual individual? I hope that this article involves some kind of nuance or an inside joke that is eluding me. Otherwise, that statement is very cruel and, in its current context, disturbing. :/
