The Right to Bear Crosses

Blurring the line: religious freedom v. school safety
As the battle between self-expression and rigid institutional conformity rages in the halls of our local schools, many think the First Amendment clearly states freedom for all.
Students often get upset when teachers and staff tell them what they can and can not wear, or what they can and cannot do while in school. This causes their minds to jump to the oh-so-famous Bill of Rights which protects their ability to wear what they want and express whatever they desire. What most students do not understand is that at school they do not have the full rights that the public does. Continue reading “The Right to Bear Crosses”
Skateboarding, A Point of Pride for One Wildcat

Redefining the idea of skateboarding
Pirate hop blunt, finger flip out… sound like a different language to you?

What’s the deal with your permanent record?
After discovering the ins and outs of scholarly record keeping, here is a brief summary of the process that tracks your life in high school.
“You better behave young man, or this’ll go on your permanent record!”
For anyone who has endured years or public school, this phrase has been etched into infamy. It exists as that constant threat; yet no student seems to have ever actually seen this archaic yellow musty file inside of a locked file cabinet known as your “Permanent Record.” Continue reading “For the Record”
Betsy Arlt and Cole Christman; Local Kingpins of the Finish Line
Sports Feature – Written by Reilly Kneedler
Originally featured in the October 8th issue of the Scratching Post
“Running is one of those sports where you kinda need other people to help push you to go faster,” said Betsy Arlt, Eastmont’s top female cross country runner. “It helps to have them around in a race.”
This presents quite a paradox for the modern cross country competitor: the rival helps you get a better time. Continue reading “Betsy Arlt and Cole Christman; Local Kingpins of the Finish Line”
