The Truth Hurts

The following item appeared in Dr. Kazakoff's weekly staff bulletin on Friday, December 13, 2002, sent to all staff and posted in a public location. It was Item 10 of 10.

"Item #10: ON A LESS THAN POSITIVE NOTE: I have heard from many students and faculty who are extremely upset about the scurrilous comments made about them in the "Subterranean". More...

A Nation Defeated

Recently, there has been much ado about a website called HighSchoolNation, where students can "evaluate" their teachers and administrators. I have heard a couple of people mention HSN and The Subterranean in the same breath, and it troubles me greatly because, while HSN is a "good idea gone bad," The Subterranean has stuck to its principles and not stooped to the kind of defamatory attacks one can find on HighSchoolNation.com.

The Man is Out

Speeding rocks. Hard. Who doesn't enjoy it? Whether whizzing over Alicante to beat the lunchtime crowds, whirring over Fassler to make it to school on time, or pressing the upper limits on Highway 1 just because you can, it can't be doubted: speed is a source of joy for many a teen driver and something that seems to come naturally to us at this stage in our lives. The only people who really mind such automotive irreverence are the cops. The five-o. The fuzz. The man. Well, ladies and gentlemen, the man is out…and he wants your license. More...

Editors' Notes

  • We misspelled Emily Fraser-Thomson's name in Issue 7. Sorry - we were in a hurry.
  • We're already hard at work on Issue #9 - watch for some fun stuff, such as the answer to the eternal question: "Was Segalas an American Gladiator?"
  • We're experiencing a dearth of poems from readers - send them in, please!
  • Have a restful Winter Break; try to forget this place awhile.
  • Please leave this paper in a conspicuous location for other students to enjoy.

A Heavy Subject

Advanced woodshop is just as hard as AP Chemistry. Because everyone knows that taking advanced woodshop requires coming in for zero period all the time. And everyone knows that advanced woodshop requires its students to take a book home over Winter Break and do an entire chapter of work without the aid of a teacher. And, of course, everyone knows that advanced woodshop calls for going through an entire year's worth of work by May. Oh, wait, advanced woodshop doesn't entail any of that…but advanced woodshop is just as hard as AP Chemistry.

Or so they would have us believe. More...

Letters to the Editor

Kudos of the Week
is awarded not only to Interact Club, Amy Windley and April Williams for raking in over 3000 cans in last week's canned food drive, but also to ALL STUDENTS who participated and those teachers who encouraged donations...renews our faith in humanity.
Runners up: Tiger Christian Fellowship for facilitating this year's sock drive. Unfortunately, your feat just doesn't stack up to that of Interact, though...9 out of 10 starving people still prefer food to socks.

Looooooooser of the Week
(get over it) is, for once, someone outside of the TN community. J. , an Oceana student, is hereby proclaimed LotW for going to work and trying to tutor small children...drunk. Frenchy needs to lay off the sauce, big time. Drink if you must, but for god's sake, man, think of the children!

And, on that note, Picture of the Week.We found these two contradictory signs side-by-side in a parking garage in SF. Enjoy.
