New Politics Club a place for debate and donuts
About 15 students were sitting in a circle in room 23, talking among themselves and enjoying donuts at 7:35 a.m. on Sept.23. After waiting a few more minutes for more people to trickle in, sophomore Jonathan Shumway stood up, and walked to the dull green chalkboard. Shumway stood by the words “Health care” written in [...]

Forget the formalities and enter festivities: unlike the usual set, the CHS orchestra’s Halloween concert, scheduled to be held on October 28, will be an experiment in mixing traditional (and not-so-traditional) music and a more relaxed, hands-on form of entertainment. Included in the festivities will be a costume contest, with prizes, for party-goers in kindergarten [...]

Teddy Kogos is wearing a bright red graduation cap, with a long white string hanging over his face, partially covering his eye. However, Kogos is not graduating. Kogos is in fact a freshman, a freshman that has been wearing a different kind of hat to school since Aug. 17. His extensive collection includes a graduation [...]
For student athletes at CHS, being injured doesn’t just mean sitting on the sidelines. In the back corner of Stuber Gym, several injured students can be found visiting athletic trainer Carrie Sickmann in her office. “I’m a first-responder,” Sickman said. “So, basically, when athletes get hurt on the field it’s my job to find out [...]
