Congrats to the cast and crew of Annie!!! Now I know most of the people who will be reading this weren't a part of the musical, but you sure did miss out. The grade school students did an excellent job. If you went to go see it this past weekend, you know what I'm talking about. If you didn't, then you missed quite a show. Personally, I thought the Tomorrow scene was the best. Annie and Sandy (the dog) were absolutely adorable! So congrats Mrs. Deters on a job well done!
Well, as most of you know, a lot of the seniors aren't here today (April 23rd), and for those of you who quite possibly live under a rock, it's senior skip day. Just about every senior in every high school in the United States "celebrates" this day, but you might be wondering, "then why are there some seniors at school today?" Well, I have the answers. Some seniors are smart enough to figure out that teachers will give you bonus points for coming in to class when no one else has. And some seniors are afraid of that their AP teachers might kill them if they miss class two weeks before the AP exam. Either way, for all of you juniors, consider both of these points before you decide to skip. If you are definitely going to skip, and there is no room in your mind for reconsideration, then you can do what about 25% of the senior class did today: either come in to school for one class, or leave after all of your important classes are done.
In Mr. Zaccari's senior religion class, we are now discussing the world's religions. I, along with two other classmates, have been assigned to research Scientology. So, I thought I'd share some of this information with you.
The Time Machine, by H.G. Wells, is a story about a time traveller who lives in the 19th century. The time traveller travels into the future into a land where the human species has evolved into 2 species, the Eloi and the Morlocks. Through these two species, Wells discusses and evaluates human characteristics and the evolution of society. He also discusses the long term effects of present-day actions. Through the course of the story, the time traveller learns of what happens to our society. His time machine is stolen by the Morlocks, and in order to recover it, he must find the courage and strength to overcome the deadly Morlocks.
So for those of you who don’t know, the IMEA All-State Conference is just around the corner. Students audition in early October to place in the local district festival, and from those auditions, a few students are chosen to be sent to the All-State Conference. So basically, All-State musicians/vocalists are some of the best in the state.
Hey everybody! For those of you who don't know it, St. Anthony has a Drama Club, sponsored by the one and only, Mrs. Cross. Even though we have only had a few meetings (okay, only 2), we are hitting the ground with a running start. We have already put into action our first fundraising endeavor, a bake sale this Friday. This money is going to be used for club t-shirts and possibly for a trip (well, it's in the works). We are also discussing working with the Fine Arts Club to put a variety show together. From what we have been discussing, this show isn't going to be like the ones SAHS has seen in the past. We are going to get creative with crazy theatrical skits, so keep your eyes, and ears, wide open!
