A Thanksgiving Minus the Gobble Gobble

Leah Bitsky, Features Editor
November 28, 2011

Thanksgiving is a time where family and friends flock together to share what they are thankful for and to gobble down on turkey.

As a writer, you become pretty attached to your pieces. Your article is like your baby, and your sources are like your relatives.

November 18, 2011

In his most recent graduation speech, Principal John Dodig told students that “on a day to day basis most of you have lived your school lives feeling supported.” But some students do not.

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 »

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 »
