Fashion trends of the last decade January 29, 2010 — by Alicia Lee With every new time period comes a fashion transformation. Whether it reflects the economic standards of the people or the strife of the country, fashion is affected by its surroundings and the people who make it.

Saratoga High students helped save these individuals' lives by generously donating blood in the Stanford Blood Drive Jan. 29. The bi-annual blood drive was hosted by the SHS Community Commission and was scheduled to run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Small Gym. Although many appointments were pushed back because the Stanford Blood Drive truck broke down along the way to the school, the drive had a good turnout of 69 donations, according to head commissioner Daryl Chang. read more » True Life: I am an author January 28, 2010 — by Sabrina Cismas “Time is like the waves on the shore, slipping away quickly, only leaving the memory of sound and shadow in our hearts. They used to make our life colorful, but now they’re only forever remembered.” And so ends the English translation of the first story in the Chinese anthology, The Story of Walking. Filled with wise messages and meaningful life stories, The Story of Walking seems to be a book from ancient China, written by a notable philosopher. Actually, it was written by a teenager. read more » SHS hosts annual SCCBDA Honor Band Concert January 28, 2010 — by Vivien Lu and Ashley Tang Last fall junior clarinetist Kyle Fukui auditioned for the Santa Clara County Band Directors Association (SCCBDA) County Honor Band, which is held once a year. He was one of 57 clarinetists undergoing this stressful challenge. In December, Fukui found out that he was among the 24 clarinetists who had the chance to join the 90-person group for its performance on Jan. 17 in the McAfee Center. The site of the concert changes among schools each year, and it was Saratoga's turn host the event. read more » The naked truth of the senior streak January 28, 2010 — by Ben Clement and Sulmaan Hassan Saratoga suburban legend sometimes alludes to a tradition known as the "senior streak." From the mid-'80s until 1995, seniors left their legacy in the form of a streak through the high school while covered in body paint some time during the year. Many participants drank alcohol as way of working up courage for the streak. Even more surprising than the lifespan of this tradition was that teachers and administrators mostly seemed to view it as a harmless activity. In 1991, then-rookie history teacher Kim Anzalone was shocked the first time she witnessed the streak. read more » True Life: Ally Doles January 26, 2010 — by Denise Lin At age 8, Ally Doles loved the view from the bleachers next to the high school football field, where she could witness the nimble maneuvers, spins and twirls of cheerleaders in the heat of the football game, fully illuminated in fluorescent glory. Amid the whistle blowing and touchdowns, spirited chants echoed as Doles watched spellbound, as the girls threw one of their own in the air and caught her perfectly. By the end of the game, when all the cheering had died down, something had become quite clear: She was going to be a cheerleader. read more » Can you bring a Twilight fan back to reality? January 26, 2010 — by Christine Bancroft Stephanie Meyer's 2005 novel, "Twilight," has created a phenomenon among female readers all over the world. It has grown into a multi-million dollar franchise including film adaptations and has launched the author and the actors portraying her characters into super-stardom. The fans, or "Twihards," obsess over the series with something similar to a cult following. Critics of the series and the fans call the Twihards "deluded and rabid," in the words of one blogger. read more » Souper Bowl aims to score big for ceramics January 26, 2010 — by Maggie Lin For most, the Super Bowl brings to mind heavy padding and players tackling each other, but at Saratoga High, the Souper Bowl, a clever play on words, brings to mind big ladles and volunteers tackling vegetables and broth. After a four year hiatus, the ninth Souper Bowl, a fundraiser for the ceramics program, is returning on Wednesday, Feb.10 from 5-7 pm.m in the cafeteria. read more » Japanese exchange student adapts to American life January 26, 2010 — by Alex Ju Saki Kitagawa may seem at first like a regular individual at Saratoga High. She works hard in all her classes, has many friends and participates in a variety of activities, such as marching band. However, Kitagawa is much more than an ordinary student. Junior Saki Kitagawa is an exchange student from the Saitama Prefecture in Japan, located in an area next to Tokyo. read more » Croatian speaker fits in just fine January 26, 2010 — by Kim Tsai The way sophomore Tonio Galoic sees it, his ability to speak Croatian and English is no big deal. At first glance, Galoic seems like just another student looking for his next class. Even when he speaks English, it sounds as if he has lived in the U.S. for his entire life. Without being told, it is doubtful that anyone could know that Galoic came from Croatia. Galoic also said he feels right at home in such a diverse high school, where languages besides English are commonly spoken at home. "It's normal because everyone here speaks a different language too," Galoic said. read more » firstprevious...1020304050...288289290291292...300...nextlast
