Behold the curry donut: Oyatsupan review

Anika Matsumoto and Kimaia Gassner May 2, 2017
Located off of Walker Road in Beaverton, Oyatsupan, a new scratch bakery is serving authentic Western Japanese fusion pastries. Oyatsupan derives from the conjunction of “Oyatsu” meaning afternoon snack and “Pan” meaning bread.

Steel Magnolias: a review

Jono Vincent, Staff Writer April 28, 2017
A musical with a cast of thirty-five is hard to put together, but easy to perform. Alternatively, a drama with a cast of only six is easy to put together, but much harder to perform. The former is a showcase of the blood, sweat, and tears that went into the rehearsal process, whereas it is often onstage on opening night that these bodily fluids are evoked from the latter.

Why Donald Trump is necessary for American Democracy

Jono Vincent, Staff Writer April 14, 2017
Despite the contentiousness of the political fires that have been stoked between work colleagues, neighbors, and even high school students, this new America — one where all its citizens are engaged and responsive to its Government — has been the dream of our Founding Fathers. We [or the populous, at least] are fulfilling our role in American Democracy.

Dear anyone older than me…

I don’t think I know everything. I know I’m not a “real” adult yet. I don’t think I have the rest of my life planned out. I AM, however, capable of having intellectual conversations with you and of having my own thoughts and opinions.

Get out and see this awe-inspiring thriller

Brady Rogers, Senior Editor March 20, 2017
After leaving the theaters, rarely there are movies that leave the audience in awe. The movie Get Out did just that, and exceeded its already high expectations by using strong acting, a powerful topic, and pace to keep the audience engaged. It was the perfect platform to highlight being black in America, and how it shouldn't be ignored.

March twenty-fifth, what’s the plan?

Rocio Avalos, Staff Writer March 15, 2017
I was half way to cape lookout with a couple of friends when I realized I had forgotten to tell my mom I was going out. There was no obvious signal so I just didn’t pay any attention to it. When we got to Tillamook I right away send my mom a message and told her to not worry about me, that I was going on a getaway for a couple of days. Little did I know she would call me as soon as she got the text message. “ Where are you? Does your debit card have enough money? Who are you with?” After a whole interview, my mother was fine with me going, well I mean it’s not like she could do much I was already at the destination.

Moonlight: the rightful recipient for best picture

Milcah Tefera, Staff Writer March 9, 2017
It isn't often that I find myself leaving a movie theater feeling so moved as I did after I saw Moonlight. After watching this film, I can almost guarantee you'll feel the same.
As February comes to an end, it's important to know the significance of the month, to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of black figures.

The truth behind Black History Month

Milcah Tefera, Staff Writer March 2, 2017
February is almost at its end which means Black History Month is nearing its end as well. Hopefully, you’ve noticed that February is Black History Month, and is recognized as such every year in the United States. What started out as a mere week to acknowledge black excellence, turned into something much greater over a few decades.
Remember to study hard in whatever classes you decide to take! You'll get out of it what you put in it.

Forecasting for the future

Noelle Charbonnier, Staff Writer February 15, 2017
As forecasting is coming up in February, students should take into careful consideration what classes they’d like to try, what classes they think would be beneficial to them, and most importantly, what classes are required in order for them to graduate. Underclassmen: I know it seems far off, but your senior year will be affected in part by what classes you choose to take during your first years in high school. That being said, here is some advice from upperclassmen who have been in your position.
