Post-Devastation
"A bunch of stuff has happened since our last issue, so I'll try to bring you up to speed
on some of it."
Deja Vu All Over Again
"Once again, Ontario schools are facing labour unrest. And once again, students are
caught in the middle."
Not Ready for the Rocking Chair
"Surprisingly, the obvious love of sensationalism that
colours the happenings here at the Woodlands seems to have overlooked an event that
is actually significant: the imminent retirement of our principal, Mr. Pirk."
We Do Dis Def: Getting Schooled at the Temple of Hip Hop
"In the past year, the elements of hip hop (the four main ones
being MCing, DJing, Breakdancing and Graffiti Art) have begun to permeate the
school, adding a much needed shot of creativity to the culture-starved Woodlands
masses. Could the future of Canadian hip hop be walking the halls as you read this?"
A Vegan Perspective on The Prefect Bar-B-Q
"But still, isn't that sort of like what Hitler could say- If people didn't like all the
killing of the Jews and Gypsies and such then why did they help us out? Eh? Because
people just go along with flow. You're the ring leaders of this. You're directly
supporting the oppression of animals."
Acid Myths
"Acid is a powerful substance worthy of investigation if you find reality to be mundane. It
should never be used when you are in any way depressed, uncomfortable, anxious,
overzealous, spiteful, ill, or distraught."
Fear and Loathing in Baker's Dozen
"The inference in the previously mentioned article that LSD is relatively harmless, and
that flashbacks are caused by traumatic events rather than by acid is a dangerous one to
make."
Selling the Sizzle
While Stealing the Steak
"Many people would accuse the media, who rarely show real people in
their ads. The problem is, they only present ideals of how we should dress, speak, and
act."
Interview with a Tall Guy
"Height is
clearly both a
social and
psychological
issue.
Disregarding
the complex
issue of
Height's
existence, to
those who
feel it most, it
is vital that
this issue gets
resolved. Only then can those that have suffered under the title of "nerd" move on with
their lives. "
Interview with a Valedictorian 2
"Last year's Valedictorian election was somewhat controversial owing to the fact that
very few people were aware of when voting would be held. This year the proceedings
were much more high profile, and Christine Shalaby was elected Valedictorian for the
class of 1998."
People on the Bus
"I have been riding the bus for my whole life. It's the only way I get around."
Misty Watered-Coloured Memories
"As our time winds down here at The Woodlands, and our courses become slack and
difficult to attend, many of us OACs have found ourselves reflecting on our "golden
years"."
Don't Look Back in Anger
"After three years, I would have to say that Here Title Place is a failure. It didn’t get me
loads of easy sex with numerous women. I have yet to receive the sports car that
Porsche promised me. My shoe-sponsorship deal with Nike, in which I would be paid
$3.5 million to wear the "Ian Ferguson Teen Newspaper Hack" sneaker, has sadly
fallen through. 60 Minutes sent back my resume, so I can assume that I am not their
first choice to replace Andy Rooney after they pull the plug on his life-support machine. "
HTP Mailbag
"Hello, I am a graduate student in Chemical Engineering, sorry for my ignorance, but
could you please tell me some more about the [SAC] president!! As well as what is
DX please? "
Dog Guy in "Street Smarts"
"I assure you, it wasn't me." (This file is 70k)
