As May draws near, many seniors are anxiously awaiting graduation, the day we, as a senior class, can walk down the aisle in our caps and gowns. The arrival of acceptance letters from the college of our choice is also a perk after tedious semesters of studying and testing. Although a difficult and time consuming task, the results, for the most part, will not be disappointing.

Posted by susiel in Sports & Outdoors.add a comment
Fishing is a great American pastime. It is a sport that can be done by all people. Most people think that fishing is just a male sport, but the truth is that it is not. Men and women of all ages go fishing all year round. Father and son fishing has been done for years and years. On that note, mother and daughter fishing has also been done for years and years. It is also quite common for a whole entire family to go fishing. In some types of fishing it doesn’t even take a lot of skill. Different types of fishing take different skill levels. It doesn’t take a lot of money to get into the sport either. But there are also types of fishing that take great amounts of money and much skill. If you are new to fishing it is best to start small and work your way up. You should go with someone who knows what they are doing before you just start buying things that you might not necessarily need.

Voice of the People: Snoozing in Class January 15, 2008

As you all well know, sleeping in class is a pastime at this school. Over the years the faculty and administration has made more strict rules regarding this. Still, students sleep in class. There are students that know they will get in trouble for sleeping in class, and go to sleep any way. The problem with this is when students go to sleep they miss out on class. Common sense will tell you that if you sleep through a lesson, you will not learn it. Some students (mostly gifted students) can on the other hand pull this off. Even though they can teach themselves, it is still more effort that you would have to pull through. The aggravation of that faculty and staff comes from the student’s grade. Generally a student will sleep during class. They will not learn the lesson. They score poorly on the test. Their grade will go down. The parents call the school.
