Eye-opening experience in South Africa
For nearly two weeks over spring break, five senior girls travelled to Konga, South Africa to work in Open Arms orphanage.

Operation Glass Slipper huge success
It's a girl's most memorable event from high school. Shopping for that beautiful one-of-a-kind gown, searching for the perfect pair of shoes to accompany dress of her dreams, and finding that "just right" piece of jewelry that doesn't draw too much attention away from the girl wearing the dress.

Song Reviews
Sound familiar? The band borrowed their name from the time-traveling car in “Back to the Future” and like the era it came from, Delorean’s single “Real Love” coasts somewhere along the lines of 80s synth-pop and the otherworldly sounds of Animal Collective.

The Black Keys breakout with new album “Brothers”
written by Logan McMillen
A grungy, dingy, dirty, overly-sexualized stomp of a back beat opens the Black Keys latest album, “Brothers.” The cooler, younger sibling of the famously overrated White Stripes may finally eclipse the band that launched quirky, blues-rock back into the (relative) mainstream.
