By Sarah Larkin Students are obsessed with their grades instead of actually obtaining a quality education where crucial lessons may be learned. Teachers like Mr. Wagner are more concerned with shaping the minds of the upcoming generation than helping students get an “A.” As a teacher of AP U.S. Government and Politics and AP Microeconomics, Mr. Wagner is an eyewitness to the fixation many top students have with their grades.

By Maggie Foight Every athlete has faced some sort of adversity at one time or another. It’s virtually impossible to escape a challenge, whether it’s a physical injury or mentality issue. For Allie McDennis, a sophomore soccer player at Wilson High School, it’s no different. “Major [injuries] I’ve had include a broken elbow and chipped growth plate… sprained ankles… strained tendons and ligaments… a severe bone contusion… and severe shin splints,” McDennis says. Needless to say, she’s had her fair share of injuries. After every incident, however, she continued to play soccer, as soon as she was well enough. By Maggie Foight With Wilson Theater Company’s annual musical this month, it seems only natural to highlight someone involved in the club for one of March’s Student Features. One student, Bradley Baldacci, acts and helps out behind the scenes. He is currently a senior at Wilson High School. Baldacci says that he contributes the most by constructing backgrounds for the group. “I do drilling, put up different walls, paint, try to create designs… What I notice is that it’s always a useful skill to learn how to use power tools and [how to] build things,” he notes. By Sarah Larkin After multiple successful coffeehouses during the school day, Wilson’s Literary Magazine Ink made a coffeehouse from 6 to 8 o’clock on Friday, March 24, in order to allow parents and others who were unable to come during school to see the performers. Tickets were only three dollars and were sold in school prior to the event, as well as at the door. This coffeehouse was once again a triumph with great turnout and performers. Before any performances began, the audience was allowed to get any refreshments that they wanted, which, of course, included coffee. The evening started off with “Pure Imagination” and “The Hymn of the Axcion” played by a saxophone quartet consisting of Zachary Jackson, Connor Rutt, Nicholas Collins and Kaiya Kizuka. By Sarah Larkin This handsome boy is already seven years old but still not done having fun! Though he doesn’t have the same energy as a kitten, he still loves to play. This male Domestic Short Hair would be great for someone who doesn’t have time to care for a kitten. Dasher has been at the Animal Rescue League since November. Even though he doesn’t have through the roof energy levels, he would still love to stretch out his legs in a new home! By Sarah Larkin What’s black and white and cute all over? Panda! This American Pit Bull mix has a coat that matches his name. At only a little over one year old, he can be a little grabby with treats and toys, but he is excited to learn and quickly picks up new commands. The puppy loves to walk or do any form of exercise. One should be careful on walks though in case someone mistakes Panda for a bear! |
