“Romney or Obama? Why?” When I went person to person asking this question for our student poll I was expecting a certain type of answer. Chapin is a very conservative town, so it was a given that I would get a lot of Romney fans. What worried me was the reasoning many students gave for their choice. Many... Read more »

We aRe Chapin. It hangs in our hallways, it’s posted outside, and announced at countless school functions and football games. It is Mr. Ross’s signature when he speaks over the intercom. It is our slogan, of sorts. But who are we, really? I know that makes me sound like some angsty teenager questioning... Read more »

KONY 2012. It’s a phrase that I’m sure nearly everyone at this school has heard. At the beginning of March when I logged on to Facebook, 90 percent of the posts on my news feed referenced it. I wasn’t quite sure what it was, so I clicked on a video someone had shared. After watching,... Read more »

In the society that we live in today, the American people thrive off of politics. We are easily entertained by the latest gossip concerning a candidate or discussing the next big mistake our Congress or the president is going to make.

The beginning of renovations have changed many aspects of Chapin High School other than the simple “out with the old and in with the new.” They have changed both teachers and students daily routines. A major issue that must be addressed is the standard tardy policy. The construction in the... Read more »
Texting while driving inexcusable

Imagine this with me for a moment: You have just woken up in a bright, stark white room that you do not recognize. Something feels off, and when you look down you realize that there is a nub where your right leg once was. You start to cry because you don’t know where you are or what is going on. You...

Time more valuable than money in the big picture

It was 10:30 at night and I had just pulled into my driveway. Thinking about everything I still had left to do I wanted to cry. I had just gotten home from a four to ten shift at Sonic and I had at least three hours of AP Physics and AP English homework. I was a zombie in school the next day after... Read more »

The second I woke up I ran down the stairs, excited to rip off another link off of my orange and black paper chain, signifying that we were one day closer to the 31st. There were 14 links left and we were going costume shopping. The year before I was Belle from Tarzan, and that year, at eight, I couldn’t... Read more »

Students all remember the first day of school when Mr. Ross announced Chapin High School’s alleged drug problem and released drug dogs upon the entire campus. The reason he did this is simple: Mr. Ross wants to rid the school of drugs. Mr. Ross’ concern is genuine. No one wants a school with students... Read more »
