Some people are just not meant to be in the music industry. For instance, Orianthi Panagaris, an Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist, clearly lacks the singing ability that is seen in this industry. Her only talent seems to be playing a guitar. She has collaborated with many artists like Michael Jackson and Carlos Santana, but has [...]
Just as the announcer is about to introduce the next group to perform, loud trumpet fanfare is heard. Following that is a blast from the entire bugle section of the corps, a flurry of colorful flags being twirled by the colorguard, and a rhythmic explosion from the drumline.
This summer Eric Briggs (’10) and Allen Au [...]
The Glendale Teachers’ Association (GTA) voted down the tentative agreement last month with GUSD by a vote of 587 to 414, thus initiating the process of fact findings, in which a third party will review the positions of both sides and offer recommendations.
The three-year agreement, which would have saved the district an annual $3.8 million, [...]
After visiting Carlsbad High School’s broadcasting studio, Associate Principal Jennifer Earl began the process of establishing a broadcast journalism class.
“Not only will the class allow students to create on-air personalities, but it will also provide service to the Hoover community,” Earl said.
The class will be offered starting next year, taught by English teacher Brian Crosby. [...]

Summer school will be offering 35 classes this year compared to 61 classes last year, with lower enrollment compared to previous years. According to Assistant Principal Caroline Sweeney, the drop in enrollment was mostly due to fees.
As a way to decrease GUSD’s budget deficit, all schools in the district cut math analysis and [...]
There will be no banking days for the 2010-2011 school year.
69 votes (75 percent) were required to keep banking days, but only 66 teachers voted in favor of it last week.
According to Associate Principal Jennifer Earl, since Wednesdays include a large amount of tardies, there would be less tardies now that school would [...]

Volleyball
The school’s volleyball team lost their BGD last May 6, three sets to zero.
With only few players returning, the team has been struggling with their games ending their season with no wins.
The team however is full of sophomores which may hold an advantage for coming years as they get better with fundamentals [...]
Regarded by many as one of the school’s most successful teams, the softball team was very close to entering the CIF playoffs until its defeat against Arcadia High on May 5.
“The team has performed better than last year,” coach Rich Henning said. “This season was a slight disappointment though because we did not make it [...]
Standing at the line, anticipating the gun shot to be fired, looking at the row of runners left and right of him, Joseph Roach IV (’10) is preparing to take off and jump the first hurdle. The pressure is on.
Luckily, Roach has been in the track and field team for four years and is comfortable [...]
Nowadays it is difficult to hear some good music, considering the fact that radio stations play the same junk repeatedly with the same old beat. Lyrics have grown dull and clichéd—they hold no meaning beyond the alcohol, money and sex and are repetitive. One Republic, though not quite popular as artists such as Lady Gaga and [...]
“Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions.”
These are the inspiring words repeated throughout “Robin Hood,” though they do little to reflect the overall plot of the movie.
“Robin Hood” tells the tale of an English nobleman who fights in the third crusade. After Richard the Lionheart (King of England) is slain by [...]
A man lies dead on the floor. He has just been hit by lightning. His head has exploded into a million little pieces. His brain is nothing but mush.
Sound neat? Well, Arthur Tagakchyan (’10) puts his skill to work in order to make graphic scenes like these.
From the age of 13, he has been working on special effects [...]
The door does not have a lock. When they say they are open 24/7, they mean 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day. So when you are craving food at 3 in the morning and want to head back in time about 50 years, head to Fred 62.
The name originated [...]
It seems like high school is nothing but work. Everything from the nerves of the first day of school to the lengthy hours studying for AP tests to filling out college applications. However, what gets us all through these years of hardcore studying are exciting events like prom.
Prom may be one of the few high [...]
Unless you live under a rock, (in which case, say “Hi” to Patrick for me), you have probably heard about South Park’s episode featuring religious figures including Jesus, Buddha, Moses, and Mohammad in a bear suit.
Some Christians, Buddhists, and Jews who saw the show were, I’m sure, uncomfortable, but none went as far as the [...]
