Every year at St. John High, we have our annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. It is a small dance, put together by the Key Club that brings the school together to have fun and dance. This year’s Sadie Hawkins will be different than the past years. For 2008, the theme of Sadie Hawkins will be “A Black and White Affair”. The dance will be held on January 26, 2008. It will take place from 7:00-10:00 p.m., with a lock-in at 7:30.There is a very specific dress code for the dance. Students will be allowed to wear their favorite black and white attire, but they will not be allowed to wear jeans. The dance will take place in the St. John School Cafeteria. There will be a D.J., a photographer, tons of decorations, and fun for all.

Seniors: Get ready, get set, go! January 15, 2008
Posted by susiel in People & Fun.add a comment
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.

Voice of the People: Snoozing in Class January 15, 2008
Posted by susiel in Opinion & Editorial, People & Fun.add a comment
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.

Each year, Evangeline attends the Natchitoches, City of Lights, Christmas Festival. My family and I attended the festival on November 30-December 2 this year.

The decorations on the bridge, river, and throughout the town were unlike any I have ever seen.
