Losers

Loser of the Week
This week's Loser of the Week is Vice Principal Sue Haun for having an office so embarrassingly messy that she managed to lose reams of Golden State Exams after directing Victor Gebhardt and Chris Gonzalez to collect the recycling from her office. She then proceeded to blame Interact Club for stealing the tests. Thankfully, the tests were recovered after several hours of sifting through TN's trash and cleaning up Haun's mess.

Loser of the Week
We know, we know. It happened a month ago. Still, we can't help but congratulate Becky Acuna, Emily Perez, and Teresa Reed for their blindingly pathetic feat of drinking in the yearbook room at the last dance. Old news? Perhaps. Still funny? You bet your sweet ass.
Runners-up, and equally asinine: all you blithering idiots who walked out of class last Wednesday for the sole purpose of getting shit-faced in a public place. Way to demonstrate your political awareness.

Unfortunately, due to a dearth in email nominations for Loser of the Week, there is no "winner" this week. If you don't like it, do something about it. Send in your nominations today!

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!

For the first time ever, we are honoring two exceptional individuals with this award. Loser #1: Johnny Bier, for breaking out a Budweiser and proceeding to drink it in the middle of his econ class last Wednesday. Bottoms up, kid, but couldn't you have chosen a higher-class beverage...say, Anchor Steam? Loser #2: Mario Digneo for not noticing. Maybe little Johnny wasn't the only one partaking in the frosty brew?

Terra Nova's sixth ever Loser of the Week is Don Blasingame. Props to the bearded chap who has made a personal vow to catch and expose the shadowy students behind The Subterranean. I can just imagine him staying up into the wee hours of the morning, laughing in the darkness as he tries to discover our identities. Muahahahaha. Don't you have papers to grade, or something?

-This week's honoree is Evan Dixon for repeatedly ripping down yearbook posters in the hallways. Please find another way to carry out your noble plan to topple the dastardly Yearbook Empire. May the force be with you…

-This week's douche-bag, Dan Armstrong, ran into a garage door and fell on his ass after toilet-papering a house. Not to be an ass, but that sounds like justice to me.

-This week's award goes to Chris Beanan and Ryan Welch, for being banned from Target for one calendar year for shoplifting clothing. Couldn't you have picked a classier joint to get banned from? Now where will you buy your skivvies, Rite-Aid?
-Runner-up: Kelley White, for being nominated by three different individuals via email. Kid, we're not quite sure what you've done, but if you've pissed off this many people, you have issues. Fix 'em before we really get dirt on you…

-This week's designee is Jeneea Cardera for talking about her sex life loudly in class. Congratulations. You have one. Have a cookie and shut the hell up!

This week's winner is JOSH ALLEN - sophomore who decided he belonged with his cool senior friends in Wednesday's senior picture. 2003 Yearbook Staff thanks the very brilliant Josh for his $120 donation to the Yearbook Pizza Fund! Say Cheese!

Kudos

Kudos of the Week
Seldom have losers of yore been as gracious as last week's LotW honorees. For that, this week's Kudos go to Becky Acuna, Emily Perez, and Teresa Reed. Props to you for accepting responsibility for your actions.

Kudos of the Week
goes to The O-Chem Crew for volunteering their time and patience in assisting the AP Chem students during these difficult times. Your dedication and altruism speak volumes.
Runner-up: Ben, the campus supervisor and swimming coach, for ruling the swim-team team with an iron fist and whipping it into shape. Take no prisoners, Ben. Take no prisoners.

Kudos of the Week
goes to Tom Minshew for assuming leadership of Schoolsite Council and running meetings in a professional manner not often seen on the TN campus. Damn fine job.

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.

Props to Emily Fraser-Thompson for working her ass off to make the blood drive happen, and for donating every 8 weeks (like more people should).
Runner-up: For the second time, Vivian Aragon-Stout for being the only person in North America to qualify for a prestigious ballet competition in Australia.

This week's Kudos of the Week goes to Terra Nova's very own Quiz Kids, Sky Corbelli, Pons T.L. Materum III, and Nils Palsson. Not only did they show sad little Pescadero High School who Daddy is, they handed them their ass by a margin of 230 points. Bravo. They play Menlo-Atherton (undefeated three-year champions) on February 8, 2003.

-We wish to commend Jennifer Hollander for trying to start a literary magazine and implement a faculty-recognition program. Keep fighting the good fight, and don't let the curmudgeonly nay-sayers get you down.

-Honored this week is…
Pons Timothy Lee Materum III (right) for being the funniest, smartest, Hardest-working, sweetest, most lovable man on the entire Terra Nova campus. If you see this guy, give him a hug. Forsooth!

-Runner Up: Your mom, for giving me a great time last night (insert porn-music-sound here).

-Kudos of the Week goes to Gino Napoli and the fine staff of The TN Roar for actually getting an issue out before Easter. We especially liked the front-page coverage.

-This week's honorees are Marni Malone and Vivian Aragon-Stout. These two tree-huggers take time out of their days to save the planet from excess plastic and aluminum by personally recycling all of your empty bottles and cans! Good job!
