If I were a color, I would be red. I always imagine red as a controlling color. It shows authority. It shows power. Whenever i think of political figures, famous people, or anyone with power, I always think of them wearing red. -Michael Hatton

If I were a color, I would be blue. Blue is my favorite color because it's the color water of water, it's one of our schools colors, it's the color of the sky. When I think of blue, I think of boating, jeans, football, the sky, etc. -Colby Hollon

If I were a color, I would be black. It reminds me of how sad I am when no one talks to me. And how many friends Ive lost over the years. It reminds me of staring into the empty blackness in my room. It reminds me of how irritated I get when I have to hit the black keys on my keyboard. I hate those things. Its also my favorite color... -Brandon Turner

If i were i color i would be the rainbow therefore i cannot decide on just one nor could i be just one. i would be the color of the spring flowers and may rain, i would be the color of the leaves in autum for i am sad summer has lft but glad winter is coming....

Dear editor,
This year our school switched from block scheduling to period scheduling. We're proposing to take away period scheduling (7 periods a day) to block scheduling (4 periods a day) They may not seem really different, but its a huge difference to students.

We have to pack fifty pound of books all over gods creation. Now we have a few minnutes to pack these huge books from one building to another. We need the slack. Theres almost no time to even go to your locker in between classes. My locker isnt even near any of my classes. I only get to go to in once a day.

We still get the same load of homework that teachers would have given during a 4 block day. Its almost immpossible to get all of our homework done every night. Some nights, we have to start as soon as we get home and were still doing homework until we go to sleep.

Write the lyrics of a song that you know by heart.

Are you ready- The hour is approaching when the souls of man shall hear. A mighty shout resounding in the sky. With power and Great glory King Jesus will appear and take his children home to pardise.There will be a celebration for the ones who choose his name. But total sepration on that resurrection day! Are you ready for the trumpets? Are you ready for the call? Soon the Angels with assemble to usher in the son of God.Will he come and find you faithful? Will he know your name at all? Every moments brings us closer!Are you ready for the call?
