By Laura Strong, Staff Writer Once again, it’s that special time of the month where I dust off my soapbox and make a literary stand against principles that I view as irksome, disturbing, or in the rare case, amusing. I realize that the topic I’m about to address isn’t exactly the easiest thing... Read more »

As the student body we deserve some freedom, rights, and most of all choices. We are not allowed to leave campus to go out and buy lunch. If that is not an available right then we should have a better variety of food in the cafeteria. The school lunches are now based on low calorie servings because it... Read more »
Dress, cell phone policies should be changed

I believe that some of the school’s policies regarding dress and cell phones need to be changed. They are counterproductive. Students should have the right to wear whatever they want, as long as they are modestly dressed. At the time the new rules came along about ‘the holes in the jeans’ that... Read more »

Doritos casserole, chili dogs, pizza, taco salad, mozzarella sticks, strawberry shortcake – the food of my dreams. Then I wake up and go to school. The dream ends. I would love to be greeted by the smells of some of these favorite foods of mine when I walk in the door of the... Read more »

I was only seven when we got the news that a plane had struck theTwinTowers, and while I don’t remember much, there is one image that will never leave me. A horrifying picture, one of a single fire fighter coming away from the rubble cradling a deceased infant. At that time I wondered what must have... Read more »

It was midnight, and the lights of the local Wal-Mart illuminated my face like that of my refrigerator bulb when I’m trying to grab a slice of pie at night.
