You won’t read this. As soon as you see what it’s about, you will skip right to the next page, hoping to see an article about winter sports or movie reviews. But the truth is that you should care about this. You should care that the Iraq War, which started before many of us were 8 years old, is coming... Read more »
A Day in the Life of a Junior without her License
November 18, 2011
It all started during the final months of my sophomore year. Slowly but surely, kids were coming in with smiles plastered on their faces, along with bright lanyards attached to key chains and keys in their hands. It didn’t take an expert to realize these bright-eyed and bushy-tailed students had... Read more »

Julia Sharkey, Sports Editor
November 13, 2011
We expect a lot out of Apple. Apple has changed the world. It has invented gadgets and what not that we could never imagine. Apple would never let anyone down. Until now. With the new and improved iPhone 4s came Siri. Siri was a feature only available on the 4s despite downloading the new software onto... Read more »

Kim Kardashian’s “fairytale wedding” received a two-part E! special, 4 million viewers, the attention of every major form of gossip media, and three free Vera Wang gowns.

Concussion Hysteria
Zach Speed, Staff Writer
November 10, 2011
Imagine opening your eyes after sleeping for hours and sitting up in a completely silent room. There is no light except for the minimal amount creeping through the closed window shade. The boredom of not being able to leave the room, watch TV, read, socialize, or even think is almost too much to bear.... Read more »
The Tales of an Admitted Facebook Stalker
Molly Barreca, Opinions Editor
November 8, 2011
It’s Monday, commonly the most hated day of the week. However, for some of us, Monday can only mean one thing: new pictures added on Facebook. As the bus grumbles closer and closer to my house, my anticipation bubbles over. I’ve been waiting all day for the moment when I can sprint inside, power... Read more »
It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See Ya Later
Carlie Schwaeber, Features Editor
November 8, 2011
I don’t think I have ever spent more than a week away from my twin sister, Sami. We share clothes, have the same sense of humor, have primarily the same friends, and as nauseatingly cliché as is this is to say, she is my best friend. Now, let’s not be ridiculous. Sami drives me up the wall sometimes,... Read more »

November 8, 2011
Maybe it’s different for other Staples High School students, but it definitely doesn’t take me thirty minutes to eat lunch.

You can’t change the date of a holiday. Christmas is always on December 25th. Independence Day is always on July 4th. Halloween is always on October 31st. Right? Wrong. According to the Town of Westport, this year Halloween is on November 5th. On October 31st, Westport officials decided that due to... Read more »
Textbooks Are Weighing Us Down
Emily Goldberg, Web Managing Editor
November 6, 2011
There is one place that students can go to have all their questions answered. Everyone has access to it, it doesn’t take up any physical space, and is free. It’s called Google. The Internet is the single, comprehensive source that students can search for the information contained in all of their... Read more »
