The Moment: “I need to let go of the things I see that have always let me fall/ And I cannot find my way home no because I’m already home.” Somehow this song is like a sarcastic slap in the face, hence why it’s my favorite. Instead of taking the normally bitter and sad route for a break up song SafetySuit uses their words to express emotions while playing guitar that makes Tim Brantley look emo.

When deadlines creep up on the Courant reporters and editors, the journalism room becomes a blur of crazed and anxious reporters, searching for an interesting graphic to add a visual appeal to an article. Sometimes, the usual picture or Photoshop graphic doesn’t fit the bill. In an attempt to spice up the aesthetics of our publication, while also adding a dash of humor, we turn to our go-to guy for a witty cartoon. Whenever he’s called upon, junior Ben Stryker willingly picks up his pen and churns out cartoon after cartoon to help us out…

Junior Nick Zanca, who played Martin Lowy, explained how unusual it was to perform the show twice and in two different venues. “What’s interesting about this show compared to other shows I’ve been in at the high school is that the rehearsal process was elongated,” he said. “After our run of the show in October, I wasn’t as upset as I usually get after the final performance, because we all knew we had more to do with the show.

After a few sloppy back-and-forth minutes to start off the game, junior forward Jimmy Joe Granito made a big hit in the neutral zone close to center ice. Despite taking a minor penalty on the play, the Rams woke up…
