The Dart
Musically inclined
Across centuries, the attempts that have been made to capture, in words, the essence of music have been extensive. It has been likened to love, to wine, to spirituality—even to juggling and madness, in perhaps the most extreme efforts to pinpoint its meaning. For their first published news stories, students in Mr. Eric Thomas’s journalism class decided to do just that—to broaden and redefine the means through which simple melodies shape our world and altogether enhance our lives…a seemingly trying task for their first attempts! However, the journalism students have diligently and colorfully researched, interviewed and written to create an issue of The Dart that is all their own. In doing so, they have likewise raised the question: Where would we be without music? We would absolutely not be as fulfilled, and worse, we would not gain the pleasure of reading such a fine issue of The Dart. These 46 young women have various interests and goals for the future, but have all focused their interests to explore the role of music in our every day lives. Many of these girls will go on to be members of The Dart or Teresian staffs. Others will continue to write and photograph as a hobby, or for other publications. As you’re reading, remember to note the names of these students; the next time you see them, they just may be printed on the pages of Rolling Stone. - Molly Huber, Managing Editor
