		<title>Bringing swag to sports</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wheatley Raabe
Reporter

As teachers begin to wrap up their classes, the overhead announcements come on and finally second period is over: “Would all teachers please turn to channel 78 for this morning’s announcements”. It’s Friday morning and students begin crowding around TVs in the lounge, classrooms and the library to watch.

Soon enough, the Rams Sports Report comes on screen, along with the much anticipated announcements of Brendon Baker and Taylor Wilson. For these two sportscasters, announcing sports on live camera looks natural. But where did these two boys come from?]]></description>

		<title>Please mind your manners and thank you for reading</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kelly Saiz
Editor-in-Chief

Maybe it’s my mother’s southern roots or maybe it’s the fact that I’ve lived in Ye Olde NC for the past eleven years, but I grew up with a plethora of books about manners, cotillion, and Walter Schalk’s Ballroom Dance Class (who didn’t love getting their feet stomped on or waltzing with their arch nemesis?). Chivalry might be dead, but I’m definitely not the only one in NCHS who thinks about manners.]]></description>
