Acta est Fabula

Over the past couple weeks, our output has dwindled as we devoted more and more of our energies to putting out our second print issue. With the lower grades embroiled in their examinations, there was no one to pick up the slack. The site has been sort of quiet for a while now, and we apologize for that. But we think the print issue is worth it.

I missed a couple Week in Reviews, so here we go. There's our Ali Cooper / Piers Turner Student Spotlight, and... well... wait a second... that's it.

But there are tons of articles in our print issue that we haven't yet published online. We'll get around to that soon; in the mean time, check out the digital version of our print issue:

You may notice some changes around here over the next few months. The transition to the second TBR administration is going to be a little rough, but we have confidence in our staff and in our school; we are Beaver Reader Believers. What you've seen this year is just the beginning, just a test run; the future is bright. But we need your help for that. Please, contact Christopher Tucker '08 (that's me, aka Toph) if you're at all interested. Check back often in the graduation aftermath, and have a great summer.

Fare thee well, Class of 2008. See you in another life... brotha.

Week in Summary: May 17-23

The big news this week continues to be elections for next year's Student Council, with results of the class elections beginning to trickle in. Also read our interviews with the winners, which will be updated periodically.

Aside from that: Maddy Mystery Monday (shall we just call it 3M?) taught us about Beaver's heritage and the origins of our name; Toph caught up on his Lost coverage (see: Cabin Fever; There's No Place Like Home Pt. 1) in plenty of time to prepare for the finale this Thursday; and, oh, that's it.

OK, so our output has dropped off a bit, but we're hard at work behind the scenes preparing a second print issue and the transition to the next generation of leaders.

P.S. I actually have nothing more to say. But I always feel like I should put something after the break.

Week in Summary: May 10-16

This past week was busy: the Wilmot administration handed over the reins to the Jacques administration, and the Upper School production of Dreamgirls went up. In Beaver Reader news, the biggest story was our coverage of the election, which drew record numbers to the site. We'll continue our reporting through class elections, so stay tuned. In the mean time, check out photos, video, and results (with more video).

Toph, that slacker, finally updated his trivia column. Ask Coop also got a second installment--be sure to leave your questions in the comments! Beeny wrote about the Girls Lacrosse team's first victory in 3 years, and she and Sara wrote about the Kanye West concert. Finally, Michael issued an update to his scathing vending machine article.

P.S. Anyone see the new Narnia? What'd you think? So-so, I thought...
