Back in the 80’s our parents were busy listening to what their generation thought was cool. From Michael Jackson all the way to RUN DMC, every teenager then had someone they looked up to whether it was the music industry, or the steady growing stars of Hollywood. But were those same role models influencing kids to “act out” then? If you were to ask your parents, I’d bet they would say something like “Back when I was your age, they actually talked about stuff in their songs. Nowadays they …

Everett has three principals, but principal Cousins is the one everyone is most familiar with. They may not know his face, but they are familiar with his voice, which is heard almost daily over the PA System. His no-nonsense announcements lay down the law regarding the cell phone policy, attendance and even use of deodorant. While some appreciate his straightforward approach, many say his blunt delivery is disrespectful.
“He should be respectful and think about what he says before he actually says it,” said senior Suzana Balcarcel. “As a …

Recently students were angered by the comments made by principal Cousins about hygiene for two different reasons. Some were mad because of how it was delivered, but others were probably upset because there might have been some truth to it.
Everybody has heard the “Your bodies are changing” speech, but when you’re in the hallways or in gym class it doesn’t always seem as though people listened to it. Students at Everett need to understand that their lack of hygiene isn’t just their personal problem… it affects everyone around …

This year’s homecoming pep rally was not at the same level of greatness as years past. There were a lot of changes made that really upset students… especially seniors who wanted to remember all the fun things they did in their last year here.
One of the reasons the pep rally was less than satisfactory was because there was very little student participation. In previous years students have been able to do skits, dances, and even relay races. This year, the only student performance was the cheerleader’s dance. Magic …

How many religions are there in the world? In America? In Everett high school? More than one, and I’m here to talk about Christianity. The good parts, why it should be the major religion, and why it’s right.Christianity is the religion of our forefathers, America’s religion. We know this because we see things around our country: like on coins it says “in God we trust,” in our Pledge of Allegiance we have “one nation, under God.” Our history is Christianity.Let’s get deeper, though, shall we? More than one person …

As you walk in line for lunch with a feeling of stress, you wait patiently as the line starts to move along. However, right when you’re about three people away from the lunch lady, someone cuts in line ahead of you. As soon as this person starts to cut, others begin to copy what that person did, even if it will lead to a catastrophe.
Every day, people who get their lunch are always reminded that their time is limited to 32 minutes, despite the fact that there are …

Now you either have to split up or shop one at a time. Where’s the fun in that? Separation of sizes is ruining the fun experience of shopping with your friends.
Friends of different sizes can no longer shop together, but must shop on different sides of the store. In the FantasticProm.com dress store …

When students get to school they like to talk and gossip with their friends or go to class early to get some extra help from their teacher. But some students also like to find a place to sit and talk with their friends. For some, that place to sit is on the stairs. But people are sitting down on the staircases and not making an effort to move so that people can get up and down the stairs.
What upsets most students is the fact that the people sitting on the …

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta,  better known as Lady Gaga, is one of the most successful singers of this era at the young age of 24. She has been compared to great figures in the music industry such as Madonna.
“She’s an example of success,” said DJ and senior David Torres.
Lady Gaga is an amazing role model for people who feel different and have low self esteem.
Gaga supports everyone; it doesn’t matter what race you are, what religion you are, or what sexual preference you have. She loves all her …

There have been a lot of fights this year at Everett. Some place the blame of many of the fights on the new freshmen.
Fights this year are immature, and shouldn’t be expected to be found in high school; we come here to better ourselves as young adults.
Some people think it’s very entertaining to see other kids fight.
“I like to see people bang out 24/7 unless they’re friends or something,” said Phillip Moore.
Freshmen should focus on school instead of worrying about who’s talking about who and worried about a boyfriend.
“[I wish] …
