determination in order to reach their goals: “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great” (Zigler). You, the student body of Seneca, can relate to this quote through the story of the US Women’s National Soccer Team star, Carli Lloyd. Lloyd is the epitome of hard work and dedication. She, like you, didn’t start off as the person she is now. She was determined to better herself and achieve her most outlandish goals. You, the student body of Seneca, have to realize…

By now we are familiar with Charlie Chaplin’s silent films and his talents; not only as a pantomime actor but also as a writer and director.

Train robberies, the Civil War and a damsel in distress. These are the major plots of Buster Keaton’s The General. The General premiered in 1926 and was written and directed by Buster Keaton and Clyde Bruckman.

After the visit of the Baron Armand de Valfort, I decided to go, without delay, talk to my old friend, and part time collaborator, Jean Vigogne- better known as Sanvergogne, a nickname he inherited many years ago, when he was a cat burglar. This appellation fitted him so well, that he adopted it, in the same way one chooses to wear, every day, the same pair of shoes, because it feels so comfortable.

Having seen a greater amount of Charlie Chaplin’s wonderful work than the others, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd most certainly still got my consideration.
