Written by Jonah Librande, Former Student on Monday, January 4, 2016

This article is a satire piece.

Paramedics were called over break to the home of an SHS staff member who was found to be suffering from a case of miner’s lung.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review

Written by Hal Gray, Former Student on Thursday, January 7, 2016

After two showings and weeks’ worth of pondering, I can safely say that I am no closer to deciding if I loved Star Wars or not.

Bring On More Offensive Plays

Written by William Somerville, Former Student on Thursday, November 19, 2015

The Seahawks may have lost on Sunday night, but their season is far from over. Although they lost a divisional game to the Cardinals there is still time for the Seahawks to make the playoffs. To win the division it would require quite a turnaround in the Seahawk’s season but also the Cardinals losing most the rest of their games.

We all know Black Friday. The day where mobs of crazy people raid the stores, like mass stampedes of plain buffalo, pushing and even hurting other people and store workers in a races for the greatest on sale things known to man! Calm down foul beasts! It’s the day after Thanksgiving, where most big stores are open extra-long hours, having the biggest sales of the year.
