WMass Trophy

  Emily Williams   If someone were to find the picture of me with the two other captains; Brie and Kacey; of the Frontier Regional Field Hockey team, holding the Western Mass trophy, in 1,000 years, they would have many things to say about it.             If someone were to glance at this picture, they [...]

Does The Great Gatsby relate to today’s society?

Emily Williams Not long ago, I read the book, “The Great Gatsby,” written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This book was written following the First World War. Americans enjoyed prosperity during the roaring 1920’s as the economy began to soar. Not only did this book relate to the times when it was written, but it relates [...]

The Apron

Will Dropouts Save America?

By: Alli Green In a recent New York Times article, Michael Ellsberg states that the college dropouts will be the fuel for American society, and will save our decimated economy. This belief is largely debatable. Growing up with parents that value higher education, their hope for my brothers and I have always been that we [...]

It’s Beyond the Black Belt

black belt

By: Katelyn Wood An object that has great significance to me, that can represent me fairly well, is definitely the black belt that I earned in karate. In 2001, my mom and I enrolled in karate at the Nel-Son-Ryu karate dojo. I used to be a very quiet little girl. I didn’t like to partake [...]

The Modern Marriage

Jane Austen
