Student artist leaves her colorful mark

Bright exploding colors stop you in your tracks. The long, glum and gray wall connecting the World Language hallway to the Art/Career Tech wings is now vivid and full of overwhelming eye-candy. Thickly marked twists and turns run across the long wall as words and graphics overlap each other. Intricately detailed bubble letters read “The Underground” and lifelike graphics make a student’s walk to class much more enjoyable. This is the work of senior Devin Campbell.

Are concerts for the music or the party?

Since early April, students have circled their calendars for this upcoming weekend to attend the Dave Mathews Band concert. Throughout the spring and summer, a variety of concerts will be occurring and will be popularly attended because of both the music and the party.

Critters crowd student entry

If you think handwritten cards, cookies, or gifts are too cliché for your friend’s birthday, there is another way to demonstrate how much you care- Critter Yard Cards. Critter Yard Cards are eight-foot tall wooden cutouts of characters from various movies and television shows. Attached to the character is a message that is personalized to read “Happy 18th Birthday Sam!” or “Happy Sweet Sixteen Olivia!” Over the course of this school year, this product has really taken hold among students, as barely a day goes by without Spongebob, Homer Simpson, or Bugs Bunny adorning the entrance to the parking lot.

Junior Dan LoRusso had a possible explanation for the trend. “I think that after a lot of people saw them they liked the idea more and wanted to do it for their friends,” he said.
