Each year students are asked to pay more for lunch even though this is necessary for the school to provide the meal

The cost of a school lunch increased 35 cents this year from $1.90 to $2.25 and senior Patrick O’ Shaughnessy is one of the many students upset about the increase.
“I feel (increased lunch prices) are unfair,” he said. “They charge kids a lot of money for low-quality food. Two dollars a day for a week is $10, and a month is $40. It’s too much for a lot of families to pay with rising prices and inflation on the dollar,” O’Shaughnessy said via e-mail. Read more

1. ‘The Exorcist’
At first I had no idea why everyone was making such a big deal about this movie about a girl named Regan MacNeil who is possessed by a demon…until I saw it. It had an incredibly intense effect that both surprised and scared me. Considering it was made in the ‘70s, it is extremely dark and evil–in an entertaining way, of course. The stair scene was delightfully disturbing, something that’s sure to leave an imprint in my mind for a while. Regan was entrancing as the little girl possessed and as the normal, happy girl. The entire time she is possessed, you aren’t even aware that it’s a little girl, only that it’s a demon in a deceiving form. Some of the events that occur from the time the demon enters are shocking and horrifying, tearing the viewer between the desire for more and the desire to cover their eyes. I love the whole trek through trying to discover the truth behind the little girl’s “personality disorder” until they realize they don’t need a doctor, but an exorcist. Read more
School spirit should come before inter-class competition

Football games have always been a time to cheer on the team as well as your class. I can’t even count the number of times I heard the seniors chanting “Oh-Eight” last year, and it was always responded to by a loud and competitive “Oh-Nine” from my class. Unlike today, however, cheering for classes took up a small percentage of the overall cheering which was mainly geared toward the football team. Now, it seems very few people even know what is going on during the game, and even fewer actually care. Read more
