Sentimental Senior

Miranda Davis, Co-editor in chief February 13, 2012

I spent New Year’s Eve as I have for the many times, hanging out with friends. Once we counted down to the ball dropping and rang in the new year, someone said, “Guys, we graduate in five months.”...

Time to Vote

Miranda Davis, Co-editor in chief February 13, 2012

One of the many misconceptions of your teen years is that “everything changes” when you become 18. At least in my experience, that’s not very true. You still live in your parent's house, you still...

File Sharing Needs to Exist

File Sharing Needs to Exist

ryan loecker, co-editor in chief February 9, 2012

Let’s get this straight: this is not an article about SOPA. Within the past two months, three major file sharing websites (Megaupload, BTJunkie and FileSonic) either have been shut down or have ceased...

Fashion Forward: Women’s Fashion

Kyle Freese, Reporter January 26, 2012

I can’t say that I really paid a lot of attention to what women wore until writing this piece. However, walking through the hallways lately, I’ve noticed that girls pay much more attention to how others...

Cafeteria Food

catherine prestoy, reporter January 20, 2012

     During lunch, all around me, kids are walking around with cafeteria trays loaded with pizza, tater tots, sherbet, etc. and I can’t help thinking to myself, is this healthy? From what I’ve...

Masculine Materials

Natalie Hiebert, Reporter January 19, 2012

Men’s fashion. When I was first asked to write about this, I honestly did not know where to begin. How do I write an article about a pair of jeans and a t-shirt? I decided the best way to find out...

Freshman Point of View

maria carrasco & catherine prestoy, beg. journalism students January 5, 2012

Dear Seniors, we are the freshmen that are apparently ruining your last year in high school. We are not the type of freshmen that are loud and obnoxious. We’re not the immature kids we were...

Pucker Up in Private

ciara sayler, beg. journalism student January 5, 2012

Whoever engages in public displays of affection in the hallways at Free State needs to stop immediately. I don’t want to see a girl and “her boo” sucking one another’s face while I am trying...

Friending Your Family

allison harwood November 18, 2011

Anytime I hear people in high school say their parents have their Facebook password, I shudder a little bit. The same thing applies when someone is going off about how they won’t let their parents have...

Holiday Hoopla

Holiday Hoopla

Natalie Hiebert, Reporter November 7, 2011

It is that time of year again. The time of year when Christmas carols pollute the air waves with their holiday cheer and stores deck their halls with boughs of holly and greenery. But all of this pre-holiday...

Letter to the Editor

October 28, 2011

One of the rudest things someone can do is put words in another person’s mouth and assume that their opinion is a definite way. You cannot, in any way, say that the senior class does not want the freshmen...

Bullying, Hazing, Terrorizing…It’s All the Same

hannah moran, reporter October 27, 2011

"JAMIE IS STUPID, GAY, FAT ANND UGLY. HE MUST DIE!" one post said. Another read, "I wouldn't care if you died. No one would. So just do it :) It would make everyone WAY more happier!" Suffering constant...
