Generations come and generations go. Just a glance through some old yearbooks and one can easily see how this school has come so far not only in its size and physical stature, but also the development of its student body. It has always been and always will be filled with thoughts of dating, schoolwork and this Friday’s social event. But the routes students take while students swaggering to their classes, how their schedule is organized and even how they walk in and out of the school has altered through the years. Read more

Students look to fashion trends of the past for their current wardrobes

What goes around comes around, especially in the world of fashion. While some trends, such as Ugg boots, may fade, it is apparent that many styles of clothing have worked their way up from mere trends to classics.
While trends continue to captivate the style-savvy on a regular basis, the true test of fashion is seemingly in its longevity; a style’s ability to stand the test of time or even to recapture an audience’s attention is the true definition of a classic.

“Issues swing left and right. It’s human nature,” U.S. History teacher Karen Taff said. “Americans tend to be a forward-looking people — instead of re-living the past, we always think we are inventing ‘new’ and that we will invariably ‘get it right’ the next time. That is what makes it fun to watch.
With the advent of the Internet and youth engagement in the recent presidential election, young people across the nation are getting involved at national and local levels. With politically inclined groups such as the Students for Barack Obama club and activism clubs like Amnesty International, LifeLines and The Healthy Environment Club, many students here are up to date and impassioned on many of the current issues in the world today.

Although some disagree with his views supporting the war, senior Joseph “Joey” Baertschi said that public support of the troops is vital to their success, and said he sees the war as a peace effort as opposed to an economic issue. Baertschi said, “The war in Iraq should be considered a humanitarian effort, not an oil policy or anything like that.”

The war in Iraq has continued to rage on for five years now. It originally began in March of 2003, when British and American forces invaded Iraq. The tragic and momentous attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon on September 11, 2001 was not the only thing that started the war. Supporters of the invasion claimed that Iraq likely had weapons of mass destruction that posed a threat to Americans. Saddam Hussein was accused of violating human rights. Iraq was involved with terrorist organizations, such as the group that attacked the World Trade Center and Pentagon building.
