Life with Tourette Syndrome

March 1, 1993 by Mini Archives

By Keith “Pugsley” Bartram Walking down the hall at passing hour cussing and swearing, shaking and twitching. Some people staring at me and mocking me, while the others whisper to each other, wondering if I am an epileptic or maybe that I should be put into a mental hospital.

Parking at MHS

November 1, 1992 by Mini Archives

The Election

November 1, 1992 by Mini Archives

By Bradon Marcaccini From the beginning of this sordid political year, I have thought that all of the presidential candidates have been jokes on all of us American citizens.

Candidates

November 1, 1992 by Mini Archives

By Matt McCrady Many of you 18 years and older are faced with a tough decision, who to vote for. The guy with the big forehead, the guy with the big nose, or the guy with the big ears. Well, the guy with the big nose must smell good. I like things that smell good. … [Read more…]

Our Mother Earth

November 1, 1992 by Mini Archives

By Sharon Korzendorfer The trees swayed as the cool fall breeze blew. The clear fall water rushed away all the fall leaves. The squirrels scurried around hiding their acorns.
