Editor’s Letter: Breaking the Cycle
One quarter gone. 11 weeks past. We’re now deep into the regular rhythm of school. We know the beat by heart – the measure of a class period, the accelerated tempo of assignments and the cadence of the week resolving into the harmony of the weekend. There is little rest in this fast paced melody [...]

Picking Up the Pieces
It’s about 3:30 p.m., and Omar the Custodian is making his rounds. He meticulously walks across the quad, tugging a rolling yellow trashcan along with him. After a few steps he stoops down. He is picking up trash – lots of it. It was a sad sight to see when, on the first day that [...]

Incoming: Autumn [get excited]
Insert something clichéd and sentimental about autumn here. And scratch it out. There are hundreds of ways for us to demonstrate our love for the current season.

America and the age of non-exploration
We are a nation that thrives on discovery. We push the envelope, test the impossible and explore new frontiers.
This persistent can-do mentality and unyielding passion is at the heart of the United States’ commitment to space exploration.

Editor’s Letter: Welcome to a global revolution
August is always a time of change, an annual period of transition, but this year seems special. There are so many pieces missing. Gay Field seemed somehow lacking last week as the football team practiced without former coach Sam Horrell, and the journalism office feels perpetually empty without adviser Nancy Freeman. The familiar face of [...]
For me, albums have always been more than just a collection of songs with a few good singles tacked on. At any given period of time in high school, I was listening to various different songs and albums. However I can invariably pinpoint a specific album that resonated with me at that time and was [...]
