Students tune in to Olympic events

American Lindsey Vonn won her gold in Ladies' Downhill skiing. Her medal would worth roughly $500 if melted down. At a time when gold is worth roughly $1100 per ounce, the value of an Olympic gold medal lies in both its physical worth and its symbolic meaning. That golden circle hanging around champion’s neck? It represents years of training and sacrifice, the pride of a victory, and the pure hard work of beating out every competitor and becoming the best in the world.   Cue up the Olympic theme song in your head.  The soaring notes work to showcase that broadcasting of exhilarating... Read more

Proceeds from winter dance went to Haiti Relief

This year, students had the opportunity to donate money to Haiti when they attended the winter dance on Saturday, Feb. 20. “Student government usually likes to donate money to good causes. It was a great way to get people to the dance and donate at the same time,” student body president Luke Hoffman said. “The Student Government decided without input from me to donate proceeds from the dance to Haiti relief. I entirely support their decision. Given the great need, and our ability to give, I think these are very commendable actions for our students to take,” principal Annetta... Read more

We’re not eight anymore, but…

Ah, the days of childhood past, filled with activities and all around wonderfulness that is fundamentally lacking in our teenage years. We have jointly decided to reminisce and reflect on a few of the things that we miss and think should come back. These may be juvenile, but oh well… Blowing Bubbles: What first grader doesn’t love blowing bubbles? Be it classic (with a plastic stick and a cheap bottle of bubble solution) or homemade (dish soap and water with a bent wire hanger for a stick), it’s just downright fun! Contests with your siblings over who can make the biggest bubble, watching... Read more

There’s more than hope for “Hope For Haiti Now”

Any CD where the proceeds go towards a charity or relief effort are worth anyone’s time and couple bucks, but Hope For Haiti Now is truly a special mix of both heart-wrenching and up-lifting songs that feature the devastation and hope in Haiti.  The first album to be solely sold electronically, for only $7.99 on iTunes, Hope For Haiti Now is well worth your time and little amount of money. The 20 songs on the charity album show the contrast of destruction versus rebuilding, despair versus prayer, and loneliness versus togetherness.  Songs titled “Motherless Child”, “Driven to Tears”,... Read more

Hamilton Town Center vs. Clay Terrace

Shopping is the one thing most of us find relaxing and enjoyable, well maybe just most girls. I like to think of it as, retail therapy. People in the Noblesville area have easy access to two nice locations for retail therapy, Hamilton Town Center and Clay Terrace. In comparing the two, I prefer Hamilton Town Center. Yes, both have very similar stores, (list below), but the set up of the stores and the addition of the IMAX theatre makes for an amazing day with everything you could ever want at your finger tips. Most of the resturaunts are the same but with Noodles and Company, Five Guys, and Olive... Read more
