Once I discovered that more than half of the St. John student body has neither any ideas nor concerns for the man once named John Lennon, I decided I would step up, take action, and awaken the dreams of this once famous musician and anti-war activist. John Ono Lennon was born October 9, 1940, to Julia and Alfred.
Gas leak causes interstate to close November 29, 2007

As most of us know from the news and the traffic the interstate has been closed for the past 2 weeks. This closer was caused by a natural gas leak in Rama, Louisiana.
When the leak first started it melted everything around it, including some cars passing on the interstate. Because of the intense heat and the unpredictability of the flame the state decide that it would be safest to close the interstate from Henderson to Port Allen. After their first prediction of the opening date passed they decided to open Henderson exit going west bound so local traffic would run more smoothly. The State Government gave the new opening date as December 7.

This Thursday, a British woman teaching in a Sudanese school was arrested for allowing the children in her class to name a class teddy bear “Muhammad.”
The teacher, Gillian Gibbons, was found guilty of insulting the religion Islam and sentenced to 15 days in prison and deportation back to Britain. The charges were made under Article 125 of the Sudanese criminal code, and according to Robert Boulos, Gibbons got off easy. “She could have had six months and lashes and a fine, and she only got 15 days and deportation,” Boulos told The Associated Press. Both the White House and the British Foreign Office are appalled by Gibbons’ sentence.
Thanksgiving break much needed November 29, 2007

With the school year flying by, Thanksgiving break was here before we knew it. The week came, and before we knew it, it was over and it was time to get back to the books. All of the students were so ready for a break, to have a week off to do nothing. A break was needed to put the stress of school and everything else aside. The Thanksgiving holiday is always a nice break to spend time with family and focus on the many things we have to be thankful for, and for all that we take for granted each and every day.

Deer season opens in November November 29, 2007
Posted by susiel in Sports & Outdoors.add a comment
On Saturday November 10, 2007 black powder opens up for deer season. This is only open for a week before rifle season and a week after rifle season. Most hunters have a black powder gun, but others don’t own one. People think it is too much work to keep up. After you shoot it you should clean it because you don’t want the barrel to rust.
Students feel overwhelmed by homework November 29, 2007

Homework has been a long-hated tradition of school. I personally hate homework and think it is not right for teachers to assign a large amount. The purpose of school work is to be done at school. Time at home is time that we should have freely to ourselves. Seven hours a day is enough of learning about a lot of stuff that we won’t ever have to use in real life. School takes up 29% of the day, and the recommended eight hours of sleep takes up 33%, which leaves us with nine hours to ourselves. Some kids have jobs and extra curricular activities that take up time after school, which leaves an even shorter amount of time for the student to do their work, not counting possible chores or other personal responsibilities. It is a harder world for teenagers with plenty of responsibilities to take care.

Voice of the People: Veteran’s Day
As you all should know veteran’s day was yesterday. Veteran’s day is a national holiday that we should remember and revere those who served in the military. I’m not sure if we would have got off of school if it was during the week. There were a lot of war movies on yesterday.

The teacher of the week this week was Ms. Catherine Orzech. Ms. Orzech is an ACE teacher at our beloved St. John High School.
