LN and LC representatives learned a “line dance” that was taught at the dance marathon. Senior Brianna Howard and freshman Ashton Meares participated.
Township raises money for Riley zachgriffincub@gmail.com LC Student Council joined forces with LN student government to host the Lawrence Township Dance Marathon. The event was held on May 8 in LC’s fieldhouse and raised money for Riley children’s hospital. The event ended up being a success with more than $2,000 raised for Riley. LTDM was modeled off Indiana University’s 36-hour dance marathon. The whole idea was originally thought up by LN senior Sydney Moulton, who talked to LC student council members about making the marathon a districtwide event. This idea arose in September and has been a year-long project. LC and LN split the project. The $300 raised earlier this month from the popcorn and pancake sales also went to Riley.

Students are to report for their finals at the scheduled times. Those who need to take finals at other times must request permission from the administration before the final’s scheduled time. Page 41 of the student handbook reads: “Unexcused absences which cause the student to miss the final exam or final activity and the make-up as well — unless a medical statement is provided — will result in the loss of one letter grade or 20 percent of the semester grade, whichever is less.”
Experience Day May 27
Because there is no open campus for seniors during finals, they may — with parental permission — use May 27 as an “experience” day for job shadowing, seeking employment, performing community service or visiting a college. Signed forms are to be turned in to the attendance office by May 26.

Schools to be graded BradOppenheim bradoppenheimcub@ The Indiana State Board of Education plans to implement a new policy next year — grading schools on an “A-F” grading scale. The plan, approved by the state board May 5, will grade schools based on their standardized test results and student performances. Schools that receive a lower rating will lose part of their state funding. Schools that receive a higher grade won’t gain or lose anything. Schools receive both federal and state funding. The state’s rating system will be separate from the federal rating system. The A-F grading scale was initially suggested by the state legislature 10 years ago but was objected to at that time. This
scale was also brought up before Public Law 221 (PL 221), which was passed for Indiana’s comprehensive accountability system for K-12 education. PL 221 puts Indiana schools into five different groups based on the schools’ ISTEP scores. These groups range from Exemplary Progress to Academic Probation. Schools also receive scoring under the federal No Child Left Behind Act. ISTA (Indiana State Teachers Association) UniServ director Chad Hunter, who works with Lawrence, Washington, Speedway, Pike, and Carmel Clay Schools, said he doesn’t necessarily agree with the new grading system. “The whole child can’t be captured on one day or a whole year of test scores,” he said. Independent consultant
groups will also be sent in to observe what changes need to be made in specific schools. If a school’s academic standings don’t improve after a certain amount of time, the state could possibly go in and take over the school. Principal Ed Freije is not for the new grading scale and said he believes the current scale should stay. He said, “There is so much more involved in the progress of education of all young people. Today we’re dealing with all students, where many years ago it didn’t matter. Dropout rates might have been 30 percent and no one really would’ve cared about that.” Freije also said this new
grading system may be unfair to many larger urban school districts. “I think that sometimes it would be misleading, and I think it would be hurtful to a lot of urban school districts who have bigger challenges at times than others,” he said. He went on to say that years ago, education wasn’t as much of a top priority as it is now. “Today there’s a lot of variables that look at how we’re progressing, and I think the method that we have now is showing that there is growth and that you’re either progressing or on a watch in areas that you have to improve to meet the needs and explaining it a little better than just putting an A, B, C, D or F just as in a student’s grade and we are expected to continue with our learning experiences,” Freije said.
Longtime teachers set to leave LC CrystalShelton
crystalsheltoncub@gmail.com Next year the LC staff will make several changes due to the economy and teachers retiring. Science teachers Tom Black and Mary Ann Tomlinson and English teacher Gale Sturm are retiring.

lenareifingercub@gmail.com Staying true to the democratic principles on which America was founded, student council (LCSC) held its first officer elections last week. LCSC members running for office recorded speeches detailing the kind of people they are and what they would do if they took office. The speeches were played on LC Current before and during elections. Students were then able to vote for candidates in the Commons during lunches on gray days. About 10 years ago officers were elected by student vote, but in the past few years officers have been chosen by the organization’s advisers through an
interview process. LCSC co-adviser Laura Reysz said they discontinued full student elections because it became too much of a popularity contest. After a year full of changes, LCSC decided to also change the way it elects officers. Freshmen, sophomores and juniors were able to vote for their candidate choice. “The whole electoral process needed to happen,” Reysz said. But interviews and adviser opinion are responsible for half of the decision. Students have enjoyed having the opportunity to vote. “I wanted my voice to be heard,” freshman Eli Boyd said. Junior Brianna Surrett agreed. “I think we should have an opinion and I want to be able to choose who is representing us,” she said.
For the first time in a while, student council (LCSC) held an election to help decide which candidates will be elected. The results for the election are also pending interviews by the organization’s advisers. “I voted, one, to show school spirit and two, to show that it’s important to participate in a democraticbased organization even in high school,” junior Jaqueline Smith said. Elections were held during gray day lunches last week. LCSC decided to hold the elections to go along with the goal for the year, to raise student voice. Cub photo/ Jack Leibovitz

McKean, Varie elected to MSDLT school board GregPrice
gregpricecub@gmail.com With the primary elections on May 4 came the elections for MSDLT school board. Only two seats were up for grabs; two new board members are attorneys Jeff McKean and Kathy Varie. McKean won the District 2 seat and Varie won the at-large seat.
McKean said, “I would say that the most important issue that I want to accomplish is to make the school the focus of the community.” He went on to say that a lot of resources need to be tapped into to raise money, such as the Lawrence Township Foundation, private businesses and the Chamber of Commerce.
McKean said, “There are some difficulties (in making budget cuts), but we can rally around schools and more people can become involved with the schools to make them stronger and better.” McKean beat incumbent board member Henry L. Fernandez 4,866 votes to 2,747 votes. Craig E. Hartzer had 2,650
votes, placing third. Varie won with 4,746 votes, with the next closest person, Amy M. Coats, having 2,138 votes. The incumbent for that bid, Lawrence Yarell, did not run for re-election. The newly elected board members will take office July 12. Prior to this, McKean and Varie will undergo six weeks of training and will sit in on meetings.

Year ‘final’ly comes to a close BradOppenheim bradoppenheimcub@gmail.com Seniors are scheduled to start their second semester finals Thursday. Their exams will end on May 26 while underclassmen will start their finals on May 25 and will end on May 28. The last “in-school” day for seniors is May 26 while the last day for underclassmen is May 28. The skip-a-final policies for both seniors and underclassmen remain the same as last semester. Seniors who received an “A” (92 percent or higher) in a class may skip the final for that class. Underclassmen may skip the final in one class in which they have earned an “A.” LC will also implement a new finals schedule by mixing both gray and maroon days together on May 26 and 28.

Dodgeball misses mark
DuncanKissinger
duncankissingercub@gmail.com To more than just a few students, it came as no surprise that yet another student function was canceled due to lack of student participation. Student council (LCSC) decided to scrap the idea of a second annual dodgeball tournament when it did not receive enough applications to go on with the event. Also, the fact that there was no announcement about being reimbursed the money that was already turned in for the tournament shows how few people needed to be contacted about their money. “I was really mad that the tournament was canceled. This was our year to win,” junior Dustin Trieb said. This cancelation follows the abandonment of a volleyball tournament earlier in the school
year. The series of events — or rather the lack of events — raises the question: Really? A collaborative event with LN and LC raised more than $2,000 for Riley Children’s Hospital. In comparison, LC alone did not hold a dodgeball tournament this year, despite a successful initial tournament last year. “Our school spirit is subpar and we need to do something about it,” Trieb said. Senior Jordan Moody said he thinks students are finding other fun things to do outside of school. Senior Michael Ashmore

has a similar speculation. “I feel that our lack of school spirit can have a lot to do with how easy it is to communicate these days,” he said. “(Technology) has replaced that sense of connectivity that is felt when the school comes together for a common cause.”

Indiana University will require eight semesters of English and seven semesters of math for 2011 applicants. Purdue University will have the same regulations, and Indiana UniversityPurdue University Indianapolis will require eight semesters of English and six semesters of math, strongly encouraging eight. Other requirements for admission are posted on the official college websites.

tian McClatchy said. “Enough admitted students are following these guidelines that it’s easy to make it the standard.” These more stringent academic criteria are pushing students to keep up with worldwide competition. Although it is expected that LC’s graduation requirements will be affected by these changes, LC is not undergoing changes any time soon. The most recent changes were AP requirements for Academic Honors diplomas, put in place for this year’s graduating class. Indiana law ultimately determines the graduation requirements for public schools, but each district has some leeway with their requirements. “So far, there are no projected changes to graduation requirements,” McClatchy said. Further information is available in the guidance office.

State unfair in denying open campus During the last couple weeks of the school year, the building starts to feel more like a daycare center than a high school. In particular, for seniors. They are so ready to get out of school that they regress to elementary school behavior to help pass the time. Who can blame them? Especially when their duties here are done. Even with growing senioritis, some seniors continued to work hard all year to earn A’s so they could skip their finals. So what is the point of keeping them in class for a week or more after they’ve done the work and turned the paperwork in? Seniors may, with parental permission, be in the building for their last day on May 26. That’s two days earlier than underclassmen. But those two days are to be spent in schoolrelated activities — with a spe-

Should the graduating class plan a senior prank?
KaylaTaylor kaylataylorcub@gmail.com The last couple of days of high school seem like a drag for seniors because they’re so ready to get out of here. The weeks have wound down, the weather is nicer every day, and they’ve accomplished everything they’ve wanted to do in their high school careers—except for one thing. The classic senior prank. We’ve all heard of it, and we’ve all thought about it. We’ve all fathomed the day when we would join with our fel-
“Sure, it’s fun. It’ll be something to do that all the seniors know about.” Ki’Ara Brown, 12
low classmates to pull off a prank of epic proportions so we could be remembered forever. Some people say that seniors should be more “mature” and are “too old” for pulling pranks. We all know these kinds of people. They’re the same people who call you out when you’re sneaking food in class or chewing gum. They’re bothered by loud music. They turn off their cell phones. They can hardly be called true teenagers. So, what exactly is the lesson here? Use your se-
niority to your advantage. All it takes is one awesome idea, and it’s practically guaranteed your friends will be in. This year, seniors are being forced to stick around and endure the last few instruction-less days of the official school year, so why not spend that spare study hall block or a couple of free classes with your friends planning an incredible, memorable prank? A little advice, though: Don’t break so many rules that you can’t graduate. And try not to make the prank entirely lame.
“Yes, it’s more uniform when a class plans it together. It’s easier to pull off that way.” Victoria Thomas, 10
“Yes, I think so. You can’t pull off a school-wide prank if only a few seniors know about it.” Nicole Havens, 9
YES
HeatherOlsen heatherolsencub@gmail.com
It’s that oh-so-anticipated time of year for seniors: the end of May, when we kick off our shoes, let our hair down and get ready to take on the freedom (and responsibility) of leaving high school forever. Graduation is a time riddled with decades-old traditions like tossing caps and celebrating with friends. Some make no sense and some have actual reasons behind them, but a few are outdated fads that stu-
dents elsewhere gave up years ago. One of these is the senior prank. Yes, I know the pranks of our predecessors are still legendary, and yes, I admit that some were pretty awesome. But with the tightened security around here, pulling off a serious senior prank is practically impossible anyway, and the punishments if you get caught could prevent seniors from walking on May 29. A bigger problem is the lack of originality. Don’t tarnish the reputations of our alumni with
weak, unoriginal jokes. Sure, back in your parents’ high school days it might have been original to stick forks in the school grass or hang ladies’ unmentionables from the trees in the Commons, but not any more. And that plan to pull the fire alarm during finals? Yeah, it’s old. Don’t do it. The words “senior prank” themselves are an oxymoron; seniors shouldn’t worry about pranks. Don’t resort to the ways of grade school children on the playground. Seniors must be more mature than to spend time on a senior prank.
“They should because it’s funny and it makes me laugh. Other people might laugh, too.” Reed Dillon, 9
“Yes. It would be hilarious. They should end the school year with a bang and have fun. ” Jaylen Quarles, 10
NO
“Yes. School spends 12 years telling kids how to act, so they just have a chance to let go of their restrictions.” Karl Simmons, 10

‘TIS THE Students anticipate upcoming graduation celebrations LierinEhmke
lierinehmkecub@gmail.com Maybe it’s the leaves on the trees. Maybe it’s the growing number of seniors talking about their college plans. Maybe it’s the event notifications growing along the site of your Facebook homepage. Regardless, all signs point to “yes.”It’s Open House Season. There are perks that come with being a senior: senior rights, senioritis, organized field trips, prom, an easy second semester and, of course, graduating. But even after
grabbing that glorious diploma and tossing up the mortarboard, the open house is the last perk. Whether it’s for tradition, fun, money, or a last hurrah before everyone parts ways, the open house is a right of passage for a senior. “I’m having an open house so my friends and I can get together before we all leave,” senior Ashley Potts said. Potts is sharing her open house with seniors Megan Gentry and Alex Donaldson. “We’ve all been really good friends and it’d be more fun if we were all together.” Since Potts is having an open house with her friends, preparations are split up. “Each person is in charge of a
different thing, but we all go to see everyone, she is aware shopping together,” Potts said. a lot of work goes into such a “And it’s at my house so I’m big event. “We’re trying to stay in charge of organized the tent and and we almaking sure ways need to I’m having an open everyone is stay on top of house so that my comfortable.” things,” she friends and I can get Senior said.

all the time, so I don’t have a desire to have one,” Bachra said. “Plus I’m lazy.” Bachra said she doesn’t feel like she’s missing out. “My brother had one a few years ago and I thought it was just OK,” she said. “I don’t think they are that special.” So whether it’s sharing an open house with a few friends or by yourself or not having one at all, one thing stays constant: Graduating is a reason to celebrate. It’s just that some celebrations are open houses. “My immediate family and my family from England is coming over right after my graduation to have a big dinner,” Bachra said, “and I am really excited.”

Math teacher Martha Weber feels a personal connection to blood drives. At age 42, Weber required a blood transfusion after something went wrong with a surgery she was undergoing.

I had to give up softball and gymnastics because it was becoming a problem,” Copenhaver said. Copenhaver has to go to the doctor every month to get her blood drawn. If her test results report that her platelet count is low, then she must get a platelet transfusion once a week. Depending on the count, the treatment can be painful. “Lately I’ve been stuck in a low place of 30,000 platelets when it needs to be 200,000,

chose to donate blood at the recent blood drive. It was her first time giving blood and she said she was feeling nervous and even a little nauseous. “I tried to constantly remind myself that I was helping people to calm my nerves,” Woodard said. Woodard’s mother donated often and that is what inspired Woodard to start donating. “If I can give people something they need and I have plenty of, why wouldn’t I? Plus, it makes me feel good that I know I did something to help another person,” Woodard said. Other students donate although they may not have such heartfelt motives. Senior Cody Lavelle has been donating blood twice a year since his sophomore year. He said he donates simply out of habit — and the free food that comes along with it. “My favorite part is the cookies at the end,” Lavelle said. The Indiana Blood Center does give incentives to donate like concert tickets provided by Live Nation. Donors can log on to www.donorpoint.org and participate in a loyalty program. This lets donors get points for every time they give blood and save them toward a desired prize.

Instead of traveling for weeks at a time, the band has decided to make multiple weekend trips out of town over the summer. Sanuk will also venture closer to the center of the country to perform. “A Canadian band called the Vicious Guns wants us to open for them at some shows in town, and in Iowa and Wisconsin,” Kissinger said. Those performances are likely to happen, so the members of Sanuk will be preparing for some longer road trips. Kissinger thinks it’s important for the band to travel and play live this summer because future opportunities to spread out may be limited. “We just want to branch out from the Indianapolis scene before we’re all in college,” he said. Sanuk has been together since the members were freshmen, and these trips are the result of years of hard work. “What we do this summer will be the culmination and payoff for the time we’ve spent writing songs and practicing, and it will definitely make the band a bigger part of my life,” Kissinger said.

Local Irish pub is no pot of gold KatieMcDowell

Mo’s Irish Pub 13193 Levinson Lane Noblesville, IN 46032 (317) 770-9020
Come taste the luck of the Irish at Mo’s Irish Pub, located at Hamilton Town Center. Alli, our friends Jessica and Josh, and I all went to taste the classic pub fare. The menu at Mo’s has a wide variety of choices from classic Reubens to French dip to Shepherd’s pie. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and made it a difficult decision. To start off the meal Jessica chose the creamy oven roasted tomato soup topped with sour cream in the shape of a clover. The soup was full of flavor and even had a bit of spice. For the entrees I went with an Irish classic – fish and chips. Alli chose the Killarney club sandwich, Josh picked the triple grilled cheese with tomato soup, and Jessica selected the crispy buffalo chicken
sandwich. The fish and chips meal offered plenty to fill me up. The beerbattered cod paired with seasoned fries tasted delicious dipped in their flavorful tartar sauce. A side of their homemade coleslaw comes with the meal as well. Alli’s Killarney club had turkey, bacon, tomato, lettuce and onion with Killarney sauce. Alli enjoyed her sandwich but the Killarney was nothing special from any other club. The triple-grilled cheese was not the average Kraft slice on Wonder bread. This sandwich consisted of avocado, bacon, tomato and three types of cheese on sourdough bread. Although all of our meals were satisfying and not too expensive Mo’s had nothing out of the ordinary, and the service was slow for a Monday afternoon. While it’s nothing too special, it’s a good place to eat after an afternoon of shopping.
The Reel Deal
Iron Man 2 blows up box-office
Alli King
allikingcub@gmail.com While it’s not an easy task trying to live up to the excellence that is Iron Man, its sequel does a worthy job trying. Robert Downey Jr. returns in Iron Man 2 as wealthy engineer and ladies’ man Tony Stark. The movie opens up with Stark being praised by a cheering crowd and dancing girls at the yearlong Stark Expo, his large ego becoming even more inflated after revealing to the public that he is, in fact, Iron Man. Stark isn’t loved by everyone, though. The government is after him for the use of his iron suit technology, but Stark is not willing to share. His fight is not made any easier due to the fact that the arc reactor in his chest is releasing toxins into his blood, slowly poisoning
him, and as an effect Stark starts acting out and giving Iron Man a bad name, thinking he’s going to die soon. Iron Man also has a new enemy after him, Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), the only other person in the world with blueprints to the arc reactor. The powerful Vanko is also aided by Justin Hammer, who provides Vanko with the money and technology to help take Stark down. All the while, Starks right hand woman Pepper Potts (Gwenyth Paltrow) has new competition for her boss’s eye in the form of personal assistant and secret agent Natlalie Rushman (Scarlett Johansson). Iron Man 2 delivers just as much excitement as the first, but of course no sequel can ever beat the original. Iron Man fans will not be dissapointed and the film is sure to be a summer hit.

Franklin Central came in second with a score of 108.50. The team was able to dominate the meet, even though they won only one track event, which was the 300-meter hurdles run by sophomore Ariana Ware. What the team lacked in the track events they made up for in the field events. Senior Lauren Cowden won the long jump, senior Camille Hayes won the high jump, senior Taja Moore won the discus throw and senior Margo Tucker won the pole vault.
While the girls weren’t able to come in first in the track events, they were able to consistently place in the top three. But if the girls want to win State, chances are they’re going to need some of the younger runners to step up. After their meet at Conference, the girls went up against LN. The Lady Bears were able to beat the rival Wildcats easily with a score of 82 to 50. The big news at the meet was the 13-foot pole vault Tucker had. This was a new school and personal record and put her in third place nationally for pole vaulting. “It’s definitely an honor to be third in the country,” Tucker said.

Golf team makes promising strides ZachGriffin
zachgriffincub@gmail.com The golf team was predicted to place around seventh in County on May 3 at Smock Golf Course. Instead they ended up placing second. “Our high placement really raised the confidence of our team,” coach Nick Derado said. “There is a really strong belief that we can make it far in competition.” Epitomizing the excellent performance by the team, senior Andrew McCarthy shot a hole-in-one on the 210-yard par 3 No. 5 hole during competition. “It was an amazing holein-one. Most of the time holesin-one are on shorter par 3s at around 150 yards,” coach Norm Starkey said. The person who seemed to be the least shocked was McCarthy himself. “I knew the

Softball has to ‘play focused for seven innings’ CamilleHayes
camillehayescub@gmail.com Despite the 1-0 win against fellow Conference Indiana school Bloomington North on May 13, the softball team continues to struggle. Another loss against Franklin Central came on May 11. The score was 2-1, but that wasn’t without a hard played game. The Bears saw sophomore Angelica Twigg set up at the plate and match the Flashes to tie the game at 1-1 with a homerun over the left field fence. But couldn’t stop the hard hits in the bottom of the seventh. The team’s record now stands at 4-14. “This season has been a struggle, but I think we are finally pulling it all together,” junior Shannon Swingle said. The team took a hard loss to Warren Central 8-7 in the first round of the Marion County tournament. The team picked a bad time to have its worst game of the season. “There is no way that Warren Central is better than this team,” coach Tom Corbett said. He was upset with the loss, but felt worse for the team’s seniors. “They have done so much for this
program. We had such a great draw to innings. (However) we have to play (move on to semi-finals) and did not take focused for seven innings,” Corbett said. Noblesville hosted the Bears May 1, advantage of it. It would have been nice to get our seniors to the Semi’s for their and the team played a double header. last year. They would have deserved it,” The first game against 3A No. 3 and 15-1 Corydon Central was one of the more he said. Swingle is using the tough loss as a exciting ones of the season.

The team then played 4A and ranked ranked Carmel 6-0. “The game against Carmel was Noblesville later that day, but lost, 13-1. The Bears put up a tough fight exciting,” Corbett said.

eighth to win 2-1. Southport has one of the best pitchers in the state, so Corbett was happy with how well his players responded to her pitching. He was also pleased with how the practice they put in the day before showed. “We spent three hours on defense and had no errors in the game so it really paid off,” he said. The next game is Thursday at home against Warren Central and senior night. The Sectional tournament will begin Monday, May 24 at LC. Corbett’s sectional hopes are optimistic, despite the losing regular season. “We have been in the sectional finals four out of the last six years…so our expectation is to win it,” he said. Swingle agrees. “Sectionals is going to be great,” she said. Corbett is also hopeful about the upcoming seasons for softball. Although the team is losing seven valuable seniors, he believes that he has a talented underclass with varsity players juniors Shannon Swingle, Caroline Fairfax, Erin Fislar, freshmen Katherine Powell and Brittani Melzoni. The JV team is currently 8-3, so he also hopes to bring talent from there.

The seniors traveled downtown for Senior Service Day last Friday. The trip is held every year as LC’s way of providing community service. This year seniors loaded seven buses to go to the Indiana War Memorial, White River State Park, Circle Centre Mall and the Canal. Students were given gloves and trash bags after getting off the buses so they could clean up any loose pieces of trash that were creating a mess at their site. Senior Service Day is a tradition here and each year it proves to be a success. It gives seniors a chance to take a break from their senioritis and have a day of no classes to look forward to. “I thought it was fun, especially because we got to miss school for it,” senior Ashley Quiocho said. She was not the only student who enjoyed hav-

As told by GINGER
When we were just freshmen Lierin Ehmke @gingaplease Ah, my final column. I spent a few minutes thinking about what I should write about: the choices in life, thinking ahead in the future, enjoying the moment now, not wishing your life away…each one worthy of a 350-word column. But alas, it’s time for a little nostalgia before I bid you adieu. So, my dedicated followers, I’m going to reflect on what has changed since I was a wee-little frosh. When I was a freshman… - People still were still obsessed with Myspace. - Pluto was a planet. - Two-hour delays still existed. - Phones weren’t considered “smart.” - “Tweeting” was restricted to birds. - LC didn’t have security guards. - Who’s Obama? - Twilight was just a time of day. - We could still park in the East Lot. - Justin Bieber wasn’t born yet. - IDs stayed in your wallet, not around your neck. - Nintendo didn’t have the Wii yet. - LC still had the Dome. - Girls still had hopes of marrying Lance Bass. - Ke$ha was known as Oscar the Grouch. - No one was aware of Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face.” - We weren’t confined to the Commons during lunch. - People still liked Tiger Woods. - Anna Nicole Smith, Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson were still at large. - “Iron Man” was just a song by Black Sabbath. - Colts were Super Bowl Ring-less. - Britney Spears worked the shaved head. - Merle Schulenburg still reigned over Chemistry classrooms. So there you have ...Twilight was just it. Lesson learned: Life a time of day. already goes by fast—a day becomes a week that becomes a month that becomes a year that becomes the end of high school. Sometimes you have to slow down and cherish the things you have now. You never know when, or what, things will change will change in a few short years.

Although most assume that Engineering Major once seniors graduate high school they will go on to pursue a four-year degree, others are doing things such as taking a year off, moving to the Windy City to pursue modeling and enlisting to go through basic training for the military. And many seniors who do pursue four-year degrees will not attend school in Indiana. The options for after-graduation plans are Chris Wooldridge endless.

It also helped that the price was less,” McQuery said. Some seniors will travel out-of-state for specific reasons such as a trade school offered only in that state, technical schools like Savannah College of Art and Design, athletics or scholarship money they’ve received.

Check out these albums that are reminiscent of the class of 2010’s high school years:
Spice Girls
Fall Out Boy
Nsync
Genre: What you want
Genre: Alternative
Genre: Dirty pop
Genre: Hip-Hop
Spice Girls bring a different kind of British invasion to the U.S. with Spice. Sporty, Baby, Ginger, Scary and Posh brought disco, R&B and pop into one polished album. Every group of elementary school girl debated which one they were most similar to create their own spicy pop girl band. This album is sure to “Spice Up Your Life,” but it will not give you any access to go-go boots, pleather skirts or British accents. Of course the song any mini van full of little girls was surely singing “Wannabe,” but probably because it was an excuse to talk really fast and gasp between phrases for no reason. When they would return home they would lock themselves in their rooms and sing “Say You’ll Be There” to their Nsync or Backstreet Boys posters. If there happens to be a sleepover occuring they would all go into the basement to watch Spice World and pretend to have British accents with a complementary Spice dance party. These are just some of the most obvious or embarrassing memories that occurred with tracks from this album. Even though the group is long gone, “Wannabe” is still recited word for word today. If one is done listening to the thousands of 90s boy bands, Spice is where to go. For all the female rapping, group dancing and girl power one can handle, Spice from Spice Girls is where to go.
Sure, they’ve had some mediocre, poppy albums since, and they had some under-the-radar albums before it, but From Under the Cork Tree takes the cake for Fall Out Boy. It also takes the cake for the Class of 2010. The album, which packs a punch with hit after hit, is an epochal one for our class. Heck, “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down” was pretty much the anthem of our middle school careers. Then again, so was “Dance, Dance.” And “Of All The Gin Joints In All The World” is amazing, too. And don’t forget “A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More ‘Touch Me’.” Despite the band’s problems naming songs — they’re pretty much all full-sentence titles — the music on this album is just so catchy. Maybe it’s the powerful bass lines that Pete Wentz drops. Maybe it’s Patrick Stump’s heavenly voice. Whatever it is, who cares? The only thing that listeners will care about is that this album is to ears as velvet is to skin. They’ll find themselves bobbing their heads to the rhythm, echoing Stump’s lyrics, and most likely, airbanding with their instrument of choice throughout the entire album. Listeners will be hard-pressed to find another album that has as many hits as this one. They probably wouldn’t dare to try, though; they’ll be too busy listening to this album for the rest of their lives.
One could say that the juxtaposition of this generation listening to singers who were barely out of high school (Nsync and Backstreet Boys) while in elementary school and now, in high school, listening to a singer who is a few months away from first grade (Justin Bieber) is fascinating. Although there is a negative stigma with still listening to the elementary school favorites, it is undeniable that one of the best albums of this generation was Nsync’s No Strings Attached. Hits from the album include “Bye Bye Bye,” “It’s Gonna Be Me” and “This I Promise You.” The lyrical range spans from the frustration in “It’s Gonna Be Me” with “Everything I do/never seems enough for you” to the loving support of “This I Promise You” with “I’ll be your strength/ I’ll give you hope.” Under a third of the record saw any collaborative writing efforts from any of the group members, but their performance of the material was enough to sell a record number of albums in the first week of its release. It is no doubt that the album is a five-star collection of material. Their “Bye Bye Bye” music video was also a big hit and its signiture “Bye Bye Bye” dance move is still used today. Nsync’s No Strings Attached is a great old school album to bump to all summer long and feel nostalgic for the good ole’ days.
By deftly blending the best sounds of modern hip-hop and pop, the debut album from KDe! (Krump Deez entertainment!) is an impressive start for each member of the group. Producer and senior Kyle Nagy’s handiwork is most evident in the beats on each of the album’s 15 tracks. Although they were made using only GarageBand, they’re of professional quality and range from simple drumand-bass to richly layered synthesizers and effects. The album’s most accessible feature for many listeners will be Cathedral senior Alex Collignon’s vocal performances on hooks. Collignon’s voice is a combination of catchy, autotuned T-Pain and R&B emotion, and is a highlight on “Terrified” and “Circle Up.” Verses from a range of collaborators make up the bulk of Back to the Bassics’s vocal content. The most frequently appearing is Cathedral senior Kevin Hofmeister, whose outrageous wordplay in phrases like “Girls up here like Elmer’s ‘cause it seems they always stuck with me” make attention to details a must. Rappers Bug$y, D.J. Davis and Clutch also contribute. So much of what rap, dance and pop fans enjoy is packed into this album that the last thing it feels like is a first try. For anyone interested in local talent, or music that’s entertaining and more, Back to the Bassics is required listening.

TRUE LIFE: I’m on Cub Reporter MimiStrobel
@mimstrobe Cub Reporter deadlines consist mostly of hours with our eyes glued to the computer, a delicious deadline dinner and a mass of goofy tweets. Although in years past the Cub seniors decided to review an actual restaurant, this year’s senior Cubs decided to review a deadline and give our readers some insight into what may go on at any given deadline. This issue Mrs. Granger had the duty of supplying dinner for deadline. It is tradition that she bring sloppy joes, and the 22 (give or take a few) Cubs that ate that night devoured them. After dinner, we all reported back to the computer lab and got back to work. In two nights of deadline, the average Cub will spend the same amount of
time at school as a student who is not on staff will in a week. Because of the extended hours we spend here, there are certain quirks and annoyances we all experience and mannerisms we all have. For example, you know you are a Cub when you have been staring at the same headline for so long that you think a simple word is spelled wrong, you say “classic” after everything, you eat Fazoli’s way too much, you have tweeted #cubreporter, you check everything for AP style, JDay is your favorite day of the year, you wear sweatpants a lot, you know why Duncan Kissinger wears the Lobster sweatshirt every day or you wear a fanny pack. If any of these things sound like you, you should seriously consider joining Cub. You would fit right in.

10 things the Class of ‘10 needs to do before starting the next phase in life
Go to your friends’ open houses. Show them that you care—at least enough to go and eat their free food. It’s the thought that counts, right?

Watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Now that’s just a good movie. It’s funny; it’s romantic; it’s awesome. If you haven’t seen this movie, you’re missing out.

Get some summer wear (or dig it out of your closet). Whether that means finding your favorite bathing suit, thongs (flip-flops) or college-wear for next year, just do it.
See foreign parts of Indianapolis. If you haven’t been to Broad Ripple, it’s a must-see. Discover more of what Indy has to offer before you’re gone.

Decide what you can leave behind. You’re about to start a new chapter in your life— a new chapter with a lot less space. Even if you like all the junk in your room, some of it has to go.
Learn to do laundry. The time has come. You’re going to be on your own, which is mostly awesome, but it also means you’re going to have to take care of yourself.

7
Get a computer. We’re in the information age now, sister. You’ll need a computer to write papers, look up places to eat and, of course, stay connected with your high school friends.
Compensate for the Freshman 15. We all know that college makes us fat. Work out and/or diet this summer so you can afford to pack on a few extra pounds this fall.
Say “sayonara” to LC. Our career here is over, but don’t leave without paying your dues (literally and figuratively). Pay your library and bookstore fines, and wave goodbye to teachers and students with whom you’ve connected.
2
Get used to Ramen. You’re going to have to cook for yourself sometimes, and that means living off individually-packed noodle bricks. Bon Appétit.
