The most exciting and spirted week of the year is Homecoming Week. Dressing up and participating in activities, all in preparation for one of the biggest games of the year. Cobra Spirit is contagious and a whole new epidemic. America Monday kicks off the beginning of the week and we end on Friday with our big pep rally. Senior Band Captain, Taryn Michalicka, says she loves playing at pep rallies because everyone gets so excited and dances along. "It is exhilarating knowing that we are playing in front of the entire school. We are sharing what we have been working on since the end of the summer and it's the best feeling imaginable when everyone is so excited!"
But what about dressing up? Tori Eith (11) tells us "I love getting all dressed

    North Carolina Fight Song Analysis

    In 1968, the Marching Tar Heels of the University of North Carolina (UNC) released a 7-inch 33 ½ rpm record consisting of eight school songs including “Here Comes Carolina,” “Carolina Fight Song,” and UNC’s alma mater “Hark the Sound.” Past UNC students wrote and composed over half of the fight songs featured on the album, and the student marching band performs the same songs today, nearly five decades later. In fact, the band and fans conclude each game with “Hark the Sound,” linking arms and singing the lyrics a UNC student wrote over 100 years ago in 1897. As the “Go Tar Heels!” exhibit exemplifies with this piece, a game is about more than the athletes.…

    Homecoming Bruce Dawe Essay

    In the many different types of literature, poetry offers us the most compelling insights into personal and public issues. Instead of all the typical topics that poets have used, Australian poet Bruce Dawe uses aspects of his varied and interesting past to express to us the public and private issues of his life. Since he had lived a life full of different occupations, lifestyles and situations, he uses poetic techniques and language to encompass us into his life, two examples being the poems “Home coming” and “Drifters” In the poem “Homecoming”, Bruce Dawe uses a variety of language techniques and imagery to portray his personal point of view towards the war in Vietnam. Its journey depicts the futility of war and the devastations upon human individuals and or the society as a whole.…

    Analysis Of Prom Night In Mississippi

    At the beginning of Prom Night in Mississippi, I was absolutely baffled and shocked by all the rules and lies, used to separate both races in Charleston, Mississippi. Certain lies and rules such as, whites suspecting that all blacks behold a gun; both races should not be seen hanging out together etc. For example in the documentary a white and black girl assimilated in a conflict, where the white girl claimed that the black girl had a gun and had intentions to use it against her. Or Jessica, a white student, being punished by her stepfather for having a black friend. In 1992, Morgan Freeman, a famous actor from Charleston, Mississippi, arrived to Charleston high school where he offered to pay all the expenses for an integrated prom, but his…

    Leaving North Carolina Analysis

    For three years, Father had refused the idea of leaving North Carolina. But my brother, Ben, sent us another letter, addressed as he always did to John Benjamin Wilks and Katie. In the letter Ben was praising his new farm, the richness of the land and how many more acres he was clearing. He told of the bountiful crops of corn and wheat that he would be reaping in a few weeks, more corn and wheat per acre than Father had ever gotten from our old worn out farm in North Carolina. He told of the abundance of water, game, and timber.…

    Requiem For The Big East Essay

    Requiem For The Big East is about a great conference that dominated men’s college basketball for a long time of the past 35 years, held the highest conference tournament at New York’s Madison Square Garden. It’s too satisfying in the long run, continually returning to the final Syracuse/Georgetown conference matchup in the semifinal of the 2013 Big East tournament. Conferences like the Pac-12, the Big Ten, and ACC that have had relatively equal success in football and basketball are still standing. And it’s sad that the Big East, the main event for the northeast basketball schools that often didn’t have the best campuses of state universities elsewhere in the country, was forced to participate in an athletic revenue…

This type of subtle hazing “involves activities or attitudes that breach reasonable standards of mutual respect and place new members on the receiving end of ridicule, embarrassment, and humiliation tactics” (umass.edu). The involvement in recruiting involves many body-shaming, name-calling, and performing duties that are out of hand. Self-objectification is a big issue within the groups, the process of rush week allows members that will best fit the club, judging mainly by the way someone looks.…

    The Philadelphia Flyers turned in a very underwhelming performance falling 6-2 against the New Jersey Devils who ended their 10 game losing streak. The Philadelphia Flyers opened the scoring as Michael Del Zotto finished off a beautiful tic tac toe passing play from Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek.

Brayden Schenn drew the Flyers to within one scoring his 21st of the season to bring the Flyers to within one.…

    Asb Reflection

    The leadership role in which I have had the greatest positive influence in has been as the Fine Arts Commissioner in ASB. As the Fine Arts Commissioner, it is my responsibility to showcase the performing arts in any way I possibly can, and while I have successfully done that, I’ve also successfully created a new rally that now occurs every year. Even though last year was my first year on ASB, I still made an impact on my school by taking charge of said new rally. My ASB director wanted to try having an on-campus winter dance before winter break and we figured the best way to promote the new dance would be through a rally. In addition, my ASB director didn’t want to have cheer and dance perform in this rally, for they perform in every other…

    Gone Home Play Analysis

    Gone Home is a narrative exploration game by the company Fullbright that stars Kaitlin Greenbriar returning to her family home after being overseas. Gone Home is often questioned on the complexity of its game play, and is often thought to be more of an interactive story, however it does fulfill the requirements of a game and I will be discussing various game play mechanics in Gone Home such as the different objects and their attributes, rules for game play and the overall design that help to support the narrative, as well as how all of this is used to create an effective story and why this is the best medium for such a story. I will start by giving the briefest of summaries; the game opens with Kaitlin, who we control in a first person perspective, returning home to a locked house all set in the 90s Their is a note left…

    Near the end of my 8th grade year, my parents told me that my father’s company was shutting down. I couldn’t believe it, how could my parents take us away from and all our friends right before high school? But, what choice did I have. We moved to Avon, Indiana. I’d never heard of it before and to be honest I didn’t care to know the name; in fact I didn’t want to hear of any town besides our hometown.…
