May 16, 2019
Towards the beginning of the year, I had written an article about our new foreign exchange student, whom many will know as Benji, from Denmark. He had compared the differences he had seen, done, and heard from here to his home in Denmark. Benji had also stated the things we lack here but are in Denmark...
A Surprise in my Genius Hour
Lauren Hileman, Junior Writer
May 15, 2019
As many know, Mr. Wilson does a Genius Hour every once in awhile over a subject from a specific time person. The time period was from 1972 to now. I decided with the time period including my life time and since I knew some things, I picked my mom’s life for the last Genius Hour. As a result, I lea...
Preparing for the tests
Carl Jay, Junior Writer
May 10, 2019
As my junior year rolls to a close, and finals and AP tests fly at me faster than a baseball out of Nolan Ryan’s hand, I came to the conclusion that I have made it through several testing seasons and have words of advice for the up-and-coming sixth seventh and eighth graders who will be taking thei...
One Last Playlist
Annie Daily, Senior Writer
May 7, 2019
In the past I have come up with playlists. Readers get to listen to some new music, and I get to share what I’ve been loving and sometimes find new music. I’ve really enjoyed making these in the past and the feedback has been great. I thought I would create one last playlist for the fun of it. Thi...

The members of the Lewis Cass Drama Department presented their spring play this past weekend. My sister and I watched the performance on Saturday night, and we really enjoyed it.

Go to Florida they said… It will be fun they said…
Levi Dyer, Senior Writer
April 19, 2019
My spring break was awesome. I went to Florida for the first time and experienced a lot of new and fun things. My trip started with the expected extremely long ride. I was sure I would have to take over driving at some point, but for some reason I was never asked to drive. The entire time I could look ou...
My Local Hero
Uriah Riemenschneider, Senior Writer
April 11, 2019
Dear Mom, for the past 18 years of my life, you have been my go-to, my rock, the person I could go to for advice. We have of course gone through our rough patches, or highs and lows, but we always seem to find peace with each other. No bump has ever been, or will ever be too big for us to tackle tog...
Having a Sister
Kelsey Wise, Senior Writer
April 10, 2019
Growing up with a sister is a bittersweet experience. Sisters can argue and be so hostile towards each other one minute then another minute one can turn around and say, “Hey, do you want to go get food?” I believe that having a sister is by far the best friendship I have ever had. I have recentl...

Carl Jay, Junior Writer
March 19, 2019
Did you get pinched Sunday? If you did, you probably were not wearing green for Saint Patrick’s Day. Not many people know who St. Patrick actually was and his significance in the reformation of the Irish people. Also, why do we idolise leprechauns, 4 leaf clovers, shamrocks, and everything green in sight? ...
