After teaching in the district for fourteen years, with ten of those years at North, Dr. Donna Clovis will retire at the end of this year…“I was covering 9/11 in New York and almost lost my life.

Bapatla tends to practice playing the trumpet in his basement, which provides a quiet environment for him to concentrate and keeps him from interrupting his family with the loud instrument. He has yet to attempt composing music himself, but in terms of the music he plays, one of his favorite pieces is “Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral” by Richard Wagner.
By Bharati Ganesh and Srinidhi Ananth It is clear that the students of the WW-P School District are immensely talented. Whether it be playing musical instruments, singing, dancing, or whirling a huge yoyo up into the air, the students of this district possess amazing abilities. This was evident throughout the WW-P’s Got Talent show, held on May 14 at High […]

by Lizzie Bianchine, Miriam Lubin, and Jess Polin After numerous name changes, Kanye West has finally decided upon the title The Life of Pablo for his new album, released on February 11. The “Pablo” aspect of the title either refers to drug lord Pablo Escobar or the legendary artist, Pablo Picasso, to whom West has compared himself many times. […]
I like indie pop. It’s cool, often innovative, and makes pop music seem like less of a guilty pleasure. The indie variety is full of unexpected element and creativity, lending some integrity to the ever-so-common pop music realm. Naturally, when I saw that the indie pop artist Foxes was releasing a new album, I felt a degree of anticipation. […]
I knew it was going to be my kind of book when Alice befriended an axe murderer on page six. I’m a simple girl; the way to my heart is through a little bloodshed and a good old fashioned insane asylum. What can I say? The Valentine’s Day spirit got to me. Nothing screams “I love you, honey” like a […]
Remember all of those posts you saw on Facebook about the new year? Captions reading “new year, new me” and “page one of 365.” Remember how you felt after seeing that same post for the hundredth time? Well not only was Facebook the home of cheesy and inspirational messages but also on January 1st, 2016 Rachel Platten released her debut […]
If Adam Lambert and Freddie Mercury had a baby, it would be Panic! At The Disco. The operatic pop-punk band’s newest album Death of a Bachelor is nothing less than theatrical and dramatic. This is the first album for Panic! At the Disco since the original drummer and co-founder of the band, Spencer Smith, announced that he was leaving the […]

Usually, when “Marvel” pops on the screen, I know it’s time to change the channel. The flashy costumes, grotesque visual effects, and ridiculous battle scenes are a little juvenile for my liking. Jessica Jones is a different story. The Netflix show is completely adult, and even a little dark and ugly, featuring themes of abuse, sexual assault, and mental illness. […]
by Micheal Bamford and Zehra Madhavan As we all solemnly remember our failed resolutions from days past, we look to the future in hopes of finding exciting new movies coming out in the year ahead. We found some sequels, Marvel movies, and other promising films, but they do sound really good! Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – November […]
I dislike video games. No, it is not because I am disinterested or lack hand-eye coordination, although the latter is definitely true. It is because I find it difficult to engage myself in a game. Infinity Blade III, however, is an exception, and getting addicted to this disturbingly repetitive, yet visually appealing, iOS app is a decision I don’t regret. […]
When Disclosure released their first album, Settle, in 2013, I was hooked. Their creative blend of deep house beats and electronic pop sounded like the work of much more experienced musicians, and they quickly won over thousands of fans, myself included. The young British brothers are still relatively new to the music scene, but within months they picked up a […]
Aleksandra Odzakovic-World History teacher “I want my students to see me and value me as a human being beyond just being their social studies teacher.
