Ear to the ground: Artist Vs Poet

Walking across the school parking lot, one can hear many pop songs blasting in students’ cars. Carefully crafted pop songs with some peppy guitar and love struck lyrics. The problem with this given genre is the simple accusation that since Fall Out Boy has supercharged pop music, now all the bands are beginning to sound a bit too much like one another, much like what happened to country music. A southern twang and depressing story is all it takes, right? This leaves the listener with only a difference in lyrics but not sound. One such band is Artist Vs Poet and their new album release Favorite... Read more

Disney’s Alice in Wonderland might be a little much for the children

Some may say my childhood was deprived because during my childhood I never watched Walt Disney’s Alice in Wonderland. At the age of sixteen, I finally decided to entertain myself with this so-called classic. Bizarre. That one word sums up my experience I received from viewing this animation. The Cheshire cat’s statement, “We’re all a little mad here,” is 100 percent true. At every moment that I thought I might understand where the film was progressing to, another new and wild creature or psychotic character would turn up. Although the Mad Hatter was completely mad, the scenes in which... Read more

Bomb threat cancels school

photo by P. Davis A break in the norm occurred last Friday at Noblesville High School, when an unknown person called in a bomb threat on the school. As soon as the school was informed of the call it issued a code green (code green is an immediate evacuation of the building). “The students left the building in an organized and professional manner,” Principal Annetta Petty announced to the student body on Monday morning. Students who drove to school waited in the parking lot for further instructions, while bus riders and other students without their own form of transportation boarded buses and... Read more

Holmes packs an exaggerated punch

Sitting in the Great Escape theatre for my own personal premier of Sherlock Holmes, I mentally prepared myself what I expected to be an intellectually challenging film. What I received was not what I was expecting. The movie quickly proved that it was to be classified as an action film, which is not so close to the novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  I suppose with Robert Downey Jr. posing as Sherlock, I shouldn’t have expected anything more, but I still had my moment of wishful thinking. Doyle’s original works tended to leave the reader lost up until the last possible moment, where the mystery... Read more

Suzanne Collins changes the meaning of the word “game”

Games are supposed to be fun. Games are something kids will want to participate in, something they will want to win but will not suffer dire consequences from. Consequences such as death. Katniss Everdeen lives in District 12. She supports her mother and little sister with her hunting and bartering. She has a difficult life, but nothing unmanageable. There is nothing that separates her from the rest of the citizens in District 12. That is until the Hunger Games come around for the reaping. The reaping is the drawing of one boy and one girl, no younger than 12 and no older than 18 years old.... Read more

Mat Ball game raises money towards community

Thursday April 30 the Key Club organized a mat ball game to help raise money towards those less fortunate in our community.  Students were charged five dollars to play, and students who wished to watch were charged three dollars.  What seemed to draw most students into the game was the prospect of playing against their teachers. In previous years it had always been a student versus faculty basketball game.  “We played mat ball this year instead of basketball because it was time for a change of pace,” said sponsor Mrs. Vinton.  Vinton has been a sponsor for the past two years. In total the... Read more
