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... Continue Reading

“We need our Kyle Rau,” said boys’ hockey head coach Mr. Ken Pauly, referencing the former Eden Prairie Eagle who not only led the team in scoring on their way to last year’s state championship, but also consistently showed up when his team needed a goal. BSM’s Kyle Rau is junior forward Grant Besse, who has been on a roll lately, averaging over 2.8 goals a game in his last seven games. He twice found the back of the net and added an assist in a 4-3 win over section rival Wayzata on Monday, Feb. 6. With section seeding on the line, there was a playoff-like atmosphere at the packed Plymouth Ice Center. “I loved it,” said Besse. “I thrive on that stuff.” Head-to-head match-ups... 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

Kelsey Myhre:
“All that time turner business blows my mind everytime I read it.”
KE:If you could marry one character, who would it be?
KM: Harry. I had the biggest crush on him when I was little. Actually, who am I kidding, I still do.
KE: What HP memorabilia do you own?
KM: I have a cloak, invisibility cloak, wizard hat, wand, glasses, and I am making myself a Gryffindor scarf.
KE: What is your favorite character?
KM: It’s really hard for me to pick, because, as weird as this sounds, I feel like they are all my friends.
KE: What’s your favorite house?
KM: Gryffindor, duh. But Hufflepuffs are the Ghandi’s of the wizarding world, as Alex Robbins says.
KE: What’s the best part of Harry Potter?
KM: It taught me so much about friendship and courage, and the value of a great book.
JJ Hafermann
KEt: What got you into Harry Potter?
JH: A love of magic…when I was ten, I almost expected a letter, ontly to crash down to a rock-solid muggle reality.
KE: What do you think is the coolest spell?
JH: Levicorpus. Being able to quickly and silently upend someone is a spell I would use often.
KE: What magical creature would you want as a pet?
JH: A hippogriff. I would train him to be friendly and sell rides on him like he’s a pony.
KE: What’s your favorite book?
JH: Prisoner of Azkaban. Harry matures as a man with the patronus.
KE: What’s your favorite house?
JH: Gryffindor. They’re the all-stars of Hogwarts. No good comes out of Slytherin, Ravenclaws are stuck up, and Hufflepuffs are the rejects of the wizarding world.
KE: If you could marry one character, who would it be?
JH: Hermione. She’s the greatest witch of her age.
KE: What’s the longest you’ve spent reading Harry Potter?
JH: I read [the seventh book] until 6:45 am, slept for 15 minutes, then went to a Kid’s triathalon, finished in the top 3, then instantly came home and finished reading. Finishing the book that fast was a far greater accomplishment.
KE: Did you ever cry reading the books?
JH: At the end of the 7th book, I almost collapsed into a nervous wreck when I realized there would be no new HP stories coming out.
Rose Geiwitz
KEt: What’s your favorite house?
RG: Slytherin because its so interesing and evil. Gryffindor…because its Gryffindor.
KE: What magical creature would you want as a pet?
RG: Fawkes the phoenix! Or a pygmy puff.
KE: If you could marry one character, who would it be? Why?
RG: Fred Weasley. Because I love him.
KE: What memorabilia do you own?
RG: I have made many wands and shirts.
KE: What’s the longest you’ve spent reading/partaking in HP activities?
RG: It never ends…
Dan Nelson
KEt: What’s the best part of Harry Potter?
DN: Mentally traveling to that magical land.
KE: What’s your favorite book?
DN: The first book. The sense of nostalgia and the chapter about quidditch gets me every time.
KE: What’s your favorite character?
DN: Ron. Everyone loves a ginger, especially as the right hand man to a needy main character.
KE: What’s your favorite Hufflepuff?
DN: They’re the oft-forgotten members of Hogwarts who I would trust with my life.
KE: What do you think is the coolest spell?
DN: My favorite charm is expecto patronum …I would produce something majestic like a manatee or iguana.
KE: If you could marry one character, who would it be? Why?
DN: Probably Angelina Johnson; I’m a fan of the sporty type.
KE: What HP memorabilia do you own?
DN: My prize HP possession is a painting…I’ve also owned a Hedwig stuffed animal.
KE: What do you think of the freshmen disregard of Harry Potter?
DN: I think they’re too full of themselves to realize the wonder and joy of HP, and I pity the fools.
David Kohler
KE: What got you into Harry Potter?
DK: Wishing I went to Hogwarts.
KE: How many times have you read each book?
DK: Double digits for each for sure, I’m not sure how many exactly.
KE: What’s your favorite book?
DK: Fourth, the Triwizard Tournament is awesome.
KE: What do you think of the Freshmen disregard of Harry Potter?
DK: Good. They don’t deserve the glory that is HP.
KE: Did you ever cry while reading the books?
DK: No, but Hedwig’s death got me close.
Erin Katopodis
KE: What’s the best part of HP?
EK: Living vicariously through the characters
KE: What’s your favorite house?
EK: Gryffindor…duh
KE: What do you think is the coolest spell?
EK: Accio, because I forget and lose a lot of things and it would be extremely helpful.
KE: What HP events have you participated in?
EK: I submitted my version of the first chapter of book 7 to an essay contest with Rachel Kaplan and I practiced with the Carleton quidditch team last year.
KE: What HP Memorabilia do you own?
EK: I got a wand for my 16th birthday. My Harry Potter snowglobe recently broke.
Melissa Plooster
KE: What’s your favorite character?
MP: Luna [Lovegood]. What a wacky, crazy, spacey person. I respect her originality.
KE: What magical power would you want to have?
MP: I’d want to be able to see the future and be like Professor Trelawny. She’s basically the coolest woman ever. Or take care of mythical creatures. I wonder if I’d ever see a unicorn.
KE: If you could marry one character, who would it be?
MP: Well, you know I’m already pretty much married to Ron.
KE: Whats the longest time you’ve spent reading/partaking in HP activities?
MP: My entire life has been devoted to that wizard.
