Teachers Bob Boyce and Ardie Allen have developed some funny lines during their time teaching. —Bushra Hasan —by Michael Bamford & Vansh Bansal— “Sometimes you’re gonna do what you want to do.

Many of us can’t begin to imagine speaking or performing in front of hundreds of people, let alone in front of a group of important political figures. But that’s exactly what junior Aasha Shaik had the opportunity to do when she was chosen to take part in the United Nations’ Girls Speak Out event on October 10. The event was […]
Club Committee Chairman Dillon Sumanthiran. When students walked into the main gym during lunch on September 24, they were no longer entering a basketball court but rather the annual club fair. Tables lined the edges of the gym as representatives of North’s 50-plus clubs ran around handing out flyers. Some of these clubs were established, like Model Congress, while others […]

The cause: carbon monoxide poisoning. Now, as a returning senior, Sunderram is happy and healthy. “It’s really funny that people kept asking me if I saw God or a light or […]
The Club Committee has recently admitted three new clubs: the Art Club, the Manga Club, and the Japanese Animation and Music Club. The new clubs will cater to the needs of a fresh swath of North’s student’s body. Although the clubs might sound similar, they are unique in their own respects. The Art Club, for instance, is very focused on […]
Sophomore Kimberly Ding. “She’s like a walking satire,” Lei Lei Wu chuckled. This may in fact be the only way to describe the unique Kimberly Ding. From writing her ERB test in old English to naming Great Gatsby characters after grocery items, Ding’s humorous personality speaks for itself. With her matter-of-fact attitude, Ding is a straight shooter in all avenues […]
Each Saturday near the Princeton Junction train station, the Vaughn Drive parking lot undergoes a rapid transformation. Vendor stalls full of produce and handmade products replace the cars, and hundreds of local residents file in to enjoy it all.

Aside from robbing a bank, there are few ways to easily put a little cash in your pocket. For teenagers, summer jobs are a longstanding tradition to earn consistent pay. Because the school year is the busiest time of the year, it can be difficult to find time for a job. With the summer coming up, we’ve compiled a list […]
Some students view history as a menial graduation requirement. The subject can be a bore for students who prefer to be swamped in sciences, musing through mathematics, and lingering in the realm of language arts. For the National History Day club, however, history is both an addiction and a platform to create with events of the past. Every year, the […]
