Week in Summary: April 19 - 25

What a short, odd week this was. Monday and Tuesday off, and then Wednesday, and then special schedule Thursday and Friday... anyway, as a result, we're a bit light on content here. But look: Jared Bellot has overcome his disdain for our blasphemous ways and graced us with another election editorial, See Hillary Run! And Tyler wrote a nice comprehensive look at the spring sports outlook. And with the (INCREDIBLE) return of Lost this week, we have a new bunch of thoughts over in Arzt and Living. Last but not least, we started something sort of potentially nifty: a link blog. Take a look.

Hope everyone has a swell time at prom--and say goodbye to the 8th graders! They're off to D.C. on Monday.

Week in Summary: April 12 - 18

This week, students had to adjust to carpetless floors on the second floor and a massive new structure on the Upper Field, which has now blossomed (blossomed?) into a quite impressive ropes course. Knowing Beaver, though, it's probably just a summer camp thing... like the pools...

Thursday, of course, was "The Breakdown," which you can discuss here, and Asian Night. We'll have more on that later.

We also reported on how Beaver plans to upgrade its internet connection to be thirty times faster, Erika posted her college essay in the Literary Corner, and Emily profiled Middle School Counselor Chris DeFilippo. Beaver Director of Communications and parent '07 Jan Devereux wrote a guest editorial on jury duty.

Happy four-day weekend!

Week in Summary: April 5 - 11

Another thrilling week! Haha. Monday saw the debut of our new advice column, Ask Coop. (No, we're not copying you, LiveWire. :)) The mystery of the Bloomberg Plaza benches was also solved, albeit not without a bit of controversy in the comments. And Jessica talked about her new favorite YouTube video series.

In Spor--uh wait, Arts + Living, read about muggle Quidditch, now being played by over a hundred colleges nationwide. (Wouldn't you think that'd go in Sports?) In Current Events, read about the drama surrounding Microsoft's bid to buy Yahoo! (It's not THAT exciting, it's just that their name ends in an exclamation point.) And in School Life, Michael Firer tells us the tragedy of the missing vending machine.

Have a pleasant weekend!

Week in Summary: March 15 - April 4

"Wait a second," you say, "that's more like three weeks in summary!" Yes, but two were Spring Break, which hardly counts. :) We hope everyone enjoyed their break; we're respooling now and aim to go out on a high note. If anyone has any suggestions for content to cover, now's a great time to let us know.

Judging by the news, Tuesday was a chaotic day. A group calling itself OCDS began a revolt against the illegitimate student government, the Red Sox made a surprising deal, the secrets of Dumbledore's love life were revealed, and the missing tennis courts were found.

In other news, we reported on the Last Night of Ballyhoo, Speed Racer, The Urban Nutcracker, some of Facebook's new features, and episodes seven and eight of Lost. Also note: Lucas Judson's comprehensive and in-depth editorial on Dedham; and this historical note on pranks, our sole tribute to April Fools' Day.

...not.
