Vocations classes host speakers from the Archdiocese

May 11, 2012

Giulia Imholte and Katie Sisk

The hype turned out to be more than the actual event. In November the Archdiocese announced plans to have speakers on marriage visit all of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Catholic Schools, and what students expected to be a controversial discussion––after reading about the heated question and answer session at DeLaSalle––ended up being an uneventful,... Continue Reading

BSM hockey players weigh options for their future in the sport

David Nelson and Peter Best, Staff Writers

Hockey is a fast-paced sport that lives off choices that need to be made in milliseconds. It’s a sport where one wrong choice can be the difference between success and failure. Sophomores Jack Glover and Ryan Collins were given the opportunity to play in the USA National Team Development Program (NTDP), based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This decision... Continue Reading

Leila Aboussir, Online Photography Editor

Lights come up, voices start ringing, and the band starts playing their instruments. Shannon Stroh has been an avid member of the BSM theater department since her entrance into the school, but is rarely seen on the actual stage. Yet, Shannon’s dedication alongside her sarcastic, witty personality has made her an extraordinary member of the tremendous... Continue Reading

Fun. releases ‘Some Nights’ album

The band experimented heavily with hip-hop inspired beats and auto-tune––though Ruess’s crystalline voice doesn’t need it. (Vinyl Records)

Lauren Effertz, Staff Writer

Three years after dropping their first album, “Aim and Ignite,” the New York-based indie pop band fun. released “Some Nights.” fun. is a supergroup of sorts; lead vocalist Nate Ruess formed the band after the break-up of The Format, guitarist Jack Antonoff also serves as the frontman for Steel Train, and keyboardist Andrew Dost is from Anathallo. Overall,... Continue Reading

Motherly instincts

April 19, 2012

Dear world, As much speculation as there is, I am a 16-year-old high school student. Yes, I know, I act like a 30-year-old mom. My overly mature behavior started during my middle school days, and people did not consider me a “normal” preteen. I did not go to the movies on Friday nights with my friends... Read more »

Not so pepped for pep rallies

April 9, 2012

Sitting hunched over in a sweaty gymnasium with a thousand of my closest peers, waiting anxiously to hear whether or not I’m destined to be the star of today’s “fun activities,” makes BSM assemblies less like a pep fest and more like the Hunger Games. Whenever Homecoming or Catholic Schools Week... Read more »

Confessions of a teenage cat lady

February 24, 2012

I walked into my house late on a Monday night after a long day of work for the junior high musical. My parents had already gone to bed and my siblings were perfectly happy to keep watching whatever MTV2 was offering for the night. Then I felt it: a light bump against my leg. Warm, fuzzy, and welcoming.... Read more »

It would be “ice” to get into my car

Chloe Kennedy, Staff Writer
February 23, 2012

I stuck the key into the lock, attempted to turn it, and…nothing. Perhaps I turned it the wrong way… Nope. Put the key in the lock incorrectly?…No. Then it hit me. It was winter in Minnesota and the locks on our family’s 1996 Explorer refused to cooperate in the cold. I needed to... Read more »

Walking in Uptown on a sunny Saturday afternoon, I had that awkward feeling of being watched. I peeked over my shoulder to see if I was being followed; no one was there. I continued, wearing my purple “American Apparel” hoodie and colorful kicks, with the hood up and headphones in, when I saw a herd... Read more »

Why won’t you say hello to me?

Emily Kline, Staff Writer
December 23, 2011

Hello. That greeting right there, ladies and gentleman, contains more social interaction than I will receive on any given day in the hallways of BSM. Don’t get the wrong idea: I’m a fairly friendly person with a fairly non-offending face, but it appears that, despite my best efforts, my classmates... Read more »

My love life: a low note

Anna Landis, Staff Writer
December 21, 2011

We had been sitting at the dinner-table for so long that a chilled ambiance came over the room, and, trust me, it had nothing to do with my tepid chick-pea soup. My mother’s nostrils flared with a sharp inhale as she hissed at me, “Why didn’t you tell me about this before?” It’s not that I... Read more »

Hogging all of the attention

December 20, 2011

With their sensitive hearing, the sound of a sneeze or even the turning of a book page will set them off into a fit of shivers. Not exactly shivers, but they snort their little noses and, to a bystander, it might look as if they are angry, but really they’re just scared––they’re timid little... Read more »

The truth about stuffing

December 7, 2011

Once a year, when the American people find it necessary to give thanks, cooked turkeys grace the tables of the common household. For many years, turkeys were hollow, devoid of meat and purpose. One day, a man felt the conviction to fill the empty avian with stuff, which after time, was cleverly named:... Read more »

Catastrophes with the Kardashians

December 7, 2011

Being a hardcore fan of the Kardashians for years (I faithfully watch it every Sunday night), I didn’t think that their lives could get any more exciting. In May, 2011, that all changed when Kim announced her engagement to NBA player Kris Humphries. When I heard the news and saw the 20.5 carat ring... Read more »
