RIP to “the drip” of VanAvery
February 21, 2019
I get to class early and sit down. I see a small, about 5’7” figure approach me. This figure is foreign to me. I don’t recognize it. As it gets closer I start to make out some facial features. It’s him, it’s Tyler VanAvery. But it is not THE Tyler I know. Something is missin...
C’mon, get creative. Don’t be shy. Art classes are for everyone. Give them a try.
February 19, 2019
Ok, so as a kid who wants to go into art in college I’m pretty mad and upset right now. Some of the art classes I was looking forward to taking may not run next year. I plan to take as many art classes as humanly possible before I graduate, and due to the fact that kids are either scared to take art classes after basic or just have no interes...
How the other half loves
February 15, 2019
I have been with my significant other for quite a few months now, nearly a year. We’ve gone bowling, we’ve cliff dived, danced on a riverbank, toured ice castles, went to a concert, and even just hung out at each others’ house. For months we’ve spent countless hours talking and laughing...

Contributing Writer, FreeLancer
January 18, 2019
This writer of this article has chosen to remain unnamed due to the sensitive nature of this topic. I’m sitting at the dinner table, and as I lift my fork to take a bite, my mother makes a casual comment about calories. The scoreboard in my head illuminates. 75 for the pasta. 65 for the sauce. 31 for the green beans. Total of 171. Far too much. ...

One guy’s response to ‘rape culture’ article recently published in Lancer Spirit magazine
Chris DeWolf, Reporter
December 13, 2018
I lived in a bubble. A bubble constructed of willful ignorance, of social normality and simultaneously social isolation. But I also live in a world where sexual harassment is more common than I ever thought. But there's one difference between me and most of the other people who want to approach thi...
Stop enabling ‘rape culture’ behavior.

Support from the Sidelines: What it means to be a good ally
Ash BarNoy, Reporter
November 9, 2018
Why do we need allies? According to society, the role of an ally is to sit passively alongside a struggle and take pride in the fact that they are not actively contributing to the problem.

Most students left the last Friday's pep rally listening to the band playing their final song. Not the Class of 2022, however. Due to the poor behavior of a small group of students, the entire class was held back in order to be reprimanded. Apparently, a group of freshman students chose to m...
