Last week I had the privilege of experiencing Cut! Costume and the Cinema, a beautiful limited-time exhibition at the Glenbow Museum. The exhibition is home to 43 incredible costumes taken straight from period films including but not limited to Pirates of the Caribbean, The Duchess and Finding Neverland. And as a lover of fashion, the…
If you are part of debate and speech at your school, you might have heard of a few of these. Basically, a fallacy is a mistaken belief, or a failure in reasoning that renders an argument invalid. For instance, if you’re arguing with someone and they go “Well yea? You’re just dumb.” that’s a fallacy.…
Go see a FREE OUTDOOR FILM screening on the rooftop of the Alexander Calhoun Library! Raging human atrocities and massacres ravaged the African country of Liberia. This savage civil war knew no boundaries- villages were pillaged by child soldiers, innocent civilians were targeted by the rebels and government alike and terror trapped many fearful persons…
Throughout this summer, I was lucky to be involved in many volunteer projects through Youth Central. I tried to keep myself busy for July and August only because there were so many things happening in Calgary every single day.

There were many surprises on this year’s MTV VMAs. Who was Lady Gaga dressed as? Who won Best New Artist? Find out here! Surprise #1 When Lady Gaga opened the awards acting as Jo Calderone I didn’t know who that was until “he” started talking about Lady Gaga. She really got into her Jo character…
Now, I don’t mean to be biased, but luckily I don’t have to be because the facts are clear. Sir Winston Churchill High School has long been associated with academic excellence and pristige.
Eyes glowing, Claws outstretched, Waiting, Waiting Life is an adventure, a game. There’s a new mouse to stalk, Even the curtain is a foe. And as the sun sets, And the stars show their Cheery faces, A warm bed of soft down awaits The tired predator. Egyptian worshipped, American loved, House Cat.
Is this even a question? Why are other schools even competing against Western? Don’t even think about it. But who knows, it’s one of the seven wonders of the world. Western Canada High School isn’t just any ordinary school.
So, it comes to that time of year again. School’s back in session and everyone’s probably feeling miserable, what with having to wake up several hours earlier than during the summer. And for those few strange kids that are actually excited, I’m sure it’s because you are happy to see all your friends. Anyway, there’s…
It’s the time of the year where students are looking for new computers or laptops for school and university, or just because their current computer is getting old. The big question that’s always asked is, should I get a Mac or PC? While I personally have more Macs at home than PCs, I’ll try to…
A few days ago while web-surfing through Daily Tech, I came across a rather appalling headline, “Japanese make ‘delicious,’ nourishing steaks from human feces.”
…Beef? …Made from poop?! WHAT?!
Last week I went to see the movie Colombiana, starring Zoe Saldana who plays a girl that seeks revenge for the death of her family. She trains to be an assassin in order to hunt down and kill the people responsible and she also hunts down people that she and her uncle feels are a…
July and August were busy months for Youth Central and our incredible Youth Volunteer Corps volunteers putting in an impressive number of hours. Here are the top 10 volunteers for summer 2011!
So we’ve all had our fun: the late nights, movie marathons, endless hours of video games, eating ice cream for all three meals of the day, vacationing, and best of all, no work! But unfortunately, summer is now at an end, which in turns means the beginning of a new school year. But it doesn’t…
