History teachers tend to ramble off unrelatable facts about flappers, bootlegging, and the ease of life in the “Roaring 20s” during a typical U.S. History class, leaving their students with no real understanding of the subject. At the same time, English teachers’ enthusiasm over F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” can only be understood if students reading the literary classic have a solid knowledge base of the time period the novel is set in. In an attempts to bridge the gap between literature and history studies, two teachers––Ms. Megan Kern and Ms. Anne Marie Dominguez––have paired up to teach their newly developed class, American Studies, to juniors, combining the...

“Don’t miss.” That was the thought that ran through the head of senior forward Sanjay Lumpkin when he got the ball under the basket unguarded with three seconds left in the game. Lumpkin made the layup, giving the top ranked boys’ basketball team a 67-65 win over number two Spring Lake Park. “We were just trying to get a screen and roll on the top. The ball went into the corner and I just cut back door and no one was guarding me,” said Lumpkin. The Red Knights struggled to contain Spring Lake Park’s Sean Scott, who had a career night with 36 points, 13 rebounds, and six blocks in a packed, pro-Panther gymnasium. Head coach Mr. John Moore admitted that guarding Scott isn’t an exact... Continue Reading

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a bill running through Congress in an attempt to curb the illegal uploading and downloading of copyrighted information and programs. Unfortunately, due to extremely vague wording and unclear definitions, the censorship proposed could extend to websites such as Facebook, various e-mails, and any other free forum. Not only is SOPA ineffective for all but the technologically impaired, but it violates our rights and benefits only a small handful of elites. SOPA works by requiring websites and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to search through sent information and to censor any infringing material. Not only does this ignore the privacy guaranteed in the Constitution... Continue Reading

As the school year comes to a close, preparations for next year are already being made, starting with elections for the new Executive Board.
The new leaders of Benilde- St. Margaret’s were caught by surprise upon hearing of their victory announced during homeroom on Wednesday, April 29. “I was shocked,” said new president, junior Ryan Quinlivan. “Somebody just came up to me and congratulated me, I hadn’t heard that I won because I was in the AP meeting at the time of the announcement,” he said.
Quinlivan, along with the rest of the Executive Board, has already started to make plans for student council next year. “We want to do more than just plan dances. We want to play a bigger role for students,” said Quinlivan.
Next year’s vice president, junior Kelsey Jacobson, agrees. “Already, Ryan and I have been talking about having meetings this summer to discuss future ideas such as weekly meetings starting next fall,” said Jacobson.
Other new officers include junior Katie McKeever as Commissioner of Publicity, junior Ian Hamilton as Secretary, and freshman Simon Gondeck as Commissioner of Student Activities. “I want to do good things,” said Gondeck.
As Commissioner of Publicity, McKeever wants to increase BSM school spirit. “I want to make the school more spirited, to have more weeks like Homecoming, because that is really the only week people participate in,” she said.
She also plans to bring the school together. “[Executive Board] is going to try to get more people to attend more sports games. They’re a lot of fun so we want even the freshmen to go to all the varsity games,” said McKeever.
Hamilton is also ready for his job as the new secretary. “My job is to record what goes on during the student council meetings–– the decisions that are made, what happened––so that we can look back later on if we need to,” he said.
Although excited, Hamilton knows that there is a lot of work involved with being on the Executive Board. “[Ideas] are forming. I’ll work on them over the summer,” said Hamilton, “Don’t worry, I can be depended upon.”
Though the Executive Board elections are over, the senior, junior, and sophomore class elections are coming up. “I encourage everyone to run,” said Quinlivan. “There are a lot of students who can help make the school great, and I think that’s going to make Student Council phenomenal next year,” he said.
