A YEAR-TWO TAKE ON ChromeBooks

6/6/2017

By Sarah McNamara
Just two years ago when a whole class had to use computers you were sent to the library, where many classes fought to use the once hot commodity: desktop computers. After having my Chromebook for two years I have learned some of its functionalities and have grown to see the benefits of the one-to-one initiative.

Climate change vs. Trump

6/1/2017

By Molly Ryan & Lilly Rogers
“We’re not spending money on that anymore. We consider that to be a waste of your money to go out and do that.” This was a statement from the director of the office of management and budget, Mick Mulvaney regarding the globe’s climate change issues. However, what might be “crazy” to our presidential office, is not crazy to a lot of people.

Oscars Rundown

3/13/2017

By Dalton Webb
The 89th Academy Awards was enjoyable and entertaining (as always) but this year’s wasn’t as cool or as exciting as usual. For example, most of the jokes weren't that funny and the set design wasn’t as cool or as interesting as usual. But the movies to nominate were good choices in my opinion. Here are my thoughts on the award winners:
Best Director: I’m fine with having Damien Chazelle winning the award, however I believe that Mel Gibson should’ve won the oscar instead.
Best Actor: He is a great actor, however Manchester By the Sea wasn’t his best role, any of the other nominees in my opinion should’ve won instead.

One Word For American Politics: Embarrassed

2/6/2017

By Dalton Webb

The start of 2017 in terms of American politics has already been as insane as it was last year, which is surprising since American politics in 2016 was probably one of the biggest messes in American history. With how many controversies that have happened already, I’m surprised that the Canadian Immigration website didn’t shut down again.

I’ll start off with Donald Trump’s Inauguration. The inauguration wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Donald Trump was respectable and he wasn’t trying to start any controversy. Honestly I thought he was going to rant about how “Hillary Clinton should be in jail” or “We’re gonna build a wall!” or something. The the only thing I didn’t like about the inauguration was all the backlash against Trump. Instead of protesting peacefully, some people started setting things on fire, attacking each other, and even breaking windows for no reason. And instead of making fun of President Trump for looking like an Oompa Loompa, people started attacking Barron Trump. What is causing thousands of dollars in property damage and making fun of a 10 year old for being overly bored gonna solve?

Maker Faire Was An Event To Remember

Saturday April 30th was a day to remember for Mashpee High School. They hosted the third annual Mini Maker Faire. In previous years it has been hosted at Cape Cod Community College. This year, Mashpee really built up their technology center and makerspace and hosted the Maker Faire. As a senior at Mashpee who is very involved in the technology department, I was very excited when I heard this event was coming. I worked alongside Mr. Looney, Mr. Blute, and Mrs. Hough to get the Maker Faire happen. I even decided to get my own table and show off things I made in wood shop.

Our last summer as "kids"

By Asia Rubidoux

Our high school graduation is June 4th 2016. Then we’re taking our first step as adults into the real world. Before we take these scary steps though, we still have one last summer. What is the class of ‘16 planning to do with their last summer? When I asked some of the seniors, I got a lot of different replies, but one thing the replies had in common was that they were all said with excitement.

What LAys Beyond Senior Year

5/10/2016

By Millena Batista

Senior year is about to be over, which means summer is approaching and for many of us, freshmen year of college is right around the corner. Some seniors are headed to different states and starting their own life and learning how to take care of themselves. Others are just leaving the Cape Cod and going off to upstate Massachusetts. And others are staying and going to CCCC and others are just finding a job around here and taking a gap year.

Women's Soccer Pay equality lawsuit a fight for future generations

By: Caitlin Lee

My belief that the women should be paid the same amount as men, if not more due to their success, has been supported by the major lawsuit filed by US Women's National Team (USWNT). The battle for just compensation has even been supported by members of the Men’s National Team.

Unseen Options FOR YOUR FUTURE

4/4/2016

By Jonathan Belouin

Become an engineer! You have to go to college after high school! Sound familiar? That’s because most of our generation have been raised to think in the direction of one job field. Most people think of this as what they have to do, and it is the only way to be successful. What many people are overlooking is a career in the military. The military provides amazing experiences most people never get an opportunity to do. Through the GI Bill, your college tuition is covered, and you can work toward a degree as you serve. I personally have already signed up for the Marines and plan on leaving for basic training July 6th. That being said, it does not mean that I believe that military is for everyone...
