The Young Democrats and Young Republicans of Marshall will hold a presidential debate on June 1 in Michael Hall.
The Young Democrats and Republicans have been preparing for this debate with dedication and focus.
“We are going to be comparing the Republican Platform to the Democratic platform on the issues that matter most, like women’s rights and such,” founder of the Young Democrats Andrew Crider, junior, said.
The homework, the lectures, the rush of graduation: teachers are usually the guides, the instructors and the supporters as their students work their way through the year’s curriculum.
Some, however, have coursework of their own. From 7:20 until 2:10, these teachers may be instructing freshmen through seniors, but afterschool, on weekends or in the summer, they are taking graduate classes of their own, and pursuing advanced degrees.
Throughout the season, baseball’s batting lineup evolved so that the crowd saw the same starting four players lead the team during the first inning.
Beginning with three left-handed hitters, each player had been carefully selected by his abilities to play a specific role in the lineup.
Senior Michael Nassoiy, the starting center fielder, batted first in the lineup.
Nassoiy, a third year varsity player for Marshall, undoubtedly set the offensive tone for the rest of his team.
Recognizing this pressure, he took the outlook that “failure is not an option.”
Bombing a test on a bad day should not be the factor to make or break your grade. Students can fail because they’re anxious and stressed since they have many other important assignments and tests going on the same week.
These feelings of stress can be a negative impact on a student’s grade, which continues to add stress if there is no remediation available for the student.
Without remediation some students who failed the first time will have no opportunity to bring up their grade or learn the material they misunderstood.
A man in a leotard, a green monster, a Norse god and a Playboy made $642 million in a week. The Avengers broke records its opening weekend and outperformed both Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II as well as The Dark Knight. Although the film’s publicity was years in the making, Marvel Studios has nonetheless succeeded in translating the entire Marvel universe to the big screen, and has made billions in the process.
In what should have been a routine activity, the process of getting class schedules the week before the start of school had a foreign twist. The coordination with friends about which classes we shared included looking up which lunch blocks we had together due to the incorporation of a Learn block separate from Lunch.
In a studio in downtown Herndon, an actor is delivering a monologue. Upstage, the rest of the ensemble sits in a circle, their backs to the audience. A low beat comes up behind her words. “There are so many people like me—sometimes I just have to wonder why?” she starts. “They all dance, why am I different? … Because the anger inside of me gets to be so possessive. I clear out the garage, lace up my hardshoes—tight. Turn on the music; let the noise flood through me. Drown out life. Drill and drill. Hammer and push. Push myself.” She continues, her words intertwining with the beat.
ESOL is “a profound class that teaches a lot of new and sophisticated material,” freshman Isabella Ariza stated.
When Ariza first came to the U.S. from Colombia, she was dissapointed for being placed in English for Speakers of Other Languages classes.
However, Ariza gives great credit to ESOL for developing her skills in English and allowing her to pursue a more rigorous academic lifestyle.
She stated that she is now part of more mainstream classes such as Biology Honors and English 9 thanks to the progress she made in ESOL English classes.
In response to the multitude of ideas posed by freshmen, biology teachers created the Arabidopsis Fair, a science expo exclusively for Honors Biology students.
According to Biology and Environmental Systems teacher Barbara Brown, freshmen “just didn’t have the preparation” to participate in science fair, so the faculty decided to use the Arabidopsis Fair “so that it would be easier for us to help the kids.”
Every year Honors Biology freshmen cultivate mutant and wild type variations of Arabidopsis under different stressors.

People skip class to go. Others say they went before anyone else did.
No, this isn’t Chipotle. It’s Unique. The massive store located in Merrifield is a mecca for serious thrifters, but students are increasingly going to find their own clothes.
However, the store still elicits mixed reactions because of varying responses to buying secondhand clothes.
