Steps have been taken to substantiate MTV‟s plans. The series‟ motto, “All Boys, All Drama, All the Time,” has recently been praised by many in Hollywood, including Brophy alumnus Travis Pastrana ’99.
“We do not have a „zero tolerance‟ policy for them here. In fact, we understand because it is reality. And we know reality is real. And you are all real and exist in reality. Now go fly, children.”
Since August, executive producer George Lucas has taken multiple trips to Brophy to find a group of good-looking, hardworking, dramatic boys who are willing to allow a number of hounding cinematographers to film them every second of the day.
Although plans have yet to be officially announced, there are early indications of the show‟s projected popularity.
Although student names cannot be released due to privacy, Lucas has confirmed that the show will “obviously” Mr. Nelson was an obvious and easy choice for involve faculty member Mr. Michael MTV’s new series. Nelson ’96.

Apparel company TapouT has reportedly contacted series producers as well.
Despite the fact that the involved students will not have any privacy or time to

Elevator Passes to Be Sold For Sports Bopp Vows to Crack Down on Self Campus Amenities Fund By Mack Regan ‟12
By Michael Saba ‟11 “Elevator passes $10.” No, you are not dreaming. Many students of have noticed, the previous headline was announced in the daily bulletin a few weeks ago. In most schools, fraudulent elevator passes are sold to unsuspecting freshmen students. However, the daily bulletin announcement that stated “Elevator passes $10 on sale NOW!!!” was not recalled and was later verified by our own administration. The reason for the sale of these passes was unclear at first. Upon investigation, it was revealed by a teacher who wishes to remain anonymous that “the economy hit the progress of the sports campus hard, and if Brophy wants it finished and stocked with all the amenities of a great sports campus, we need another way to make money.” By “amenities” it was later learned, the teacher was referring to a Jacuzzi, a hot dog stand, and a dry sauna. Regrettably, it appears that these specific facilities will only be available to Brophy administration.
In a recent staff meeting, Dean of Students Mr. James Bopp made a solemn pledge Tuesday to combat rampant tomfoolery of Brophy Dean of Students Mr. Jim Bopp.

“Let me be clear: I will not rest until I bring an end to my shenanigans and backroom deal-making,” said Bopp, later adding that he will personally lead an investigation into allegations that security guard John Buchanan is running Brophy “under the table.” “The blind eye that I continue to turn to non-justified JUG giving will no longer be tolerated, and I will do everything in my power to finally bring myself to justice.”
Inside Access to the Summit on Human Dignity: What the Daily Bulletin May or May Not Tell You By Anil Prasad ‟10 The Summit is back with a great line-up of things that have something to do with money! But as the event approaches, there is one question on the lips of every student who is not a freshman: Where is Eustace Conway?
The Summit is scheduled to commence with a rousing keynote address to be delivered by somebody with “major street cred”, according to Summit Student Planning Committee member Greg Lopus ’12.
On Wednesday, the Tech Theatre crew will showcase their newest Summitrelated creation: a pirate ship that will float on the canal to symbolize the devastating effect that pirates have had on the global economy.
Of course, Eustace Conway is a wellknown global economist; however, he is a very difficult man to find in the Year of the Tiger, so a brand new line-up has been announced in his stead!
