That being said, the fact that the AP test costs money could make it inaccessible to those who need its benefit the most. “As well, if there is such a possibility as offering a course at two different levels (AP and the conventional level), then there is a very important question to ask: why allow high schools to offer classes that aren't advanced?

The Picador World News 25 Children Killed in Elementary School Bombing
Barrel bombs fell on an elementary school on Wednesday in Syria, killing dozens of children. They are the latest victims of the Syrian civil war. The bombs consisted of barrels stuffed with explosives. According to the local coordination committee, 25 children died. Syrian forces dropped the bombs on an opposition-held area of the country’s largest city, Aleppo. The place was covered by a pool of blood. The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency, however, mentioned nothing about the attack at the elementary school.

By Henry Liu ’15 Long, long ago, there lived an emperor in ancient China by the name of Jia Jing. He wanted to live forever, so he made an elixir of eternal life out of mercury and died upon ingesting it.
This discovery further highlighted the importance of our stem cells in our gene pools; as we run out of stem cells, our bodies have fewer ways to regenerate tissue.
Anyways, thanks to science, we now know that life cannot be magically prolonged by binge drinking materials based on superstition alone. But the question still haunts us to this day; will we ever find a solution to the problem of aging, or even death? Science said that the possibility of a solution was pretty unlikely; in fact, near zero… or so scientists thought.

World Sports By Tommy Chau ’15 Soccer: Bayern Munich officially became the former UEFA Champions League winner after being defeated by the Spaniard giant, Real Madrid CF, on the evening of April 29th. Before the match, Bayern’s director, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, claimed that Allianz Arena would be an inferno for the Los Blanticos. However, what happened during the 90-minute match proved to be the opposite. C. Ronaldo and S. Ramos scored three goals after the 35th minute and ended with a fourth one in the 89th minute. The gate to the historic 10th UEFA Champions League title was waiting for Real Madrid, but will the Los Blanticos be able to break through? Golf: Due to the absence of the famous golfer, Tiger Woods, in the Masters this year, the percent of people attending the tournament has decreased dramatically from 24% in 2013 to 7.8% in 2014. This figure is the lowest on record in the PGA Masters since Phil Mickelson claimed his championship in 2004. Sharing on Sport Business commentator Austin Karp believes that the decline in attendance could be attributed to a lack of golf superstars, such as the currently-injured Tiger Woods or already-eliminated Phil Mickelson. The drop is probably also due to a lack of sponsors from major companies such as Bwin, Bauer, and Genesis.

New England Sports The Bruins: The Bruins destroyed in the first round of the playoffs. With an early anxiety builder in the first game during which they lost to Detroit 3-2, fans believed that this was going to be a close series. However, the Bruins kicked it into high gear for the rest of the games, winning four straight and ending the series 4-1. Reilly Smith and Jarome Iginla had solid performances throughout the entire series, and fans can’t wait to see what they will do as the playoffs continue. The Bruins’ next game is Thursday against their long time rival the Montreal Canadiens. This next series is going to be tough, and the Bruins will have to bring their best to win against one of the strongest Canadian teams. - Joey Casey ’14 Red Sox: The Red Sox have gotten off to a rocky start this year, struggling to get to the .500 mark as they hit the end of the first month of the season. The offense has struggled without a true leadoff hitter since Ellsbury’s departure, but the pitching has been strong--with the exception of Clay Buchholz and Felix Doubront who have both turned in several poor outings. World Series star Xander Boegarts has made several crucial errors as well, but his potential is still through the ceiling. Despite their apparent struggles, Boston is not that far out of first place even after losing to both the Orioles and Yankees. Former first baseman Kevin Millar said that the Sox have “yet to find their identity.” With the Rays, Athletics, and Reds coming to town soon, the beardless bunch better find that identity. - Connor Marien ’14

The Picador Satire Protecting Our Community from Syrup Addiction By Emma Abrams ’15 Sugarers across North America are rejoicing in the bitterly cold weather caused by the Arctic Vortex hovering over the mid-section of the continent; it may very well be saving our lives from an entirely aggressive smuggling organization. In 2012, the global maple syrup market and innocent people across North America suffered a crushing blow when $18 million worth of maple sap was stolen from Canada’s reserves. Sources said that a Mexican drug cartel infiltrated our northern neighbor and turned the normally innocuous substance into an addictive drug. This particular heist was thwarted in time so there were no serious repercussions, but countless sugarers across New England felt threatened. “Who knows, maybe they will come after small business owners
as one concerned mother put it. The threat of this destructive addiction is imminent, but the Holderness School is taking precautions to protect its students, faculty, and staff from the maple terrorists. By serving only the lowest Grade B corn syrup at any required dining experience, the Holderness campus remains a safe haven for those fleeing these belligerent masterminds. When asked what some of the tell-tale signs of an addict are, next,” said a local sugar shack continue to find ways to get Carter Daume explained that more people addicted.

Slow Internet Solved: Assigned Hours for Surfing By Ziang Zhou ’14 A cloud of terror is hovering over the heads of the Holderness community. People are afraid of being trapped in the bubble with no outside contact, forgotten by the rest of the world. Due to the dazzling speed of the Internet, according to numerous reports, the spinning wheel of death has become the

most frequent icon on the screen of student computers. Many who couldn’t stand the speed, punched their computer screens out of anger, and thus were hospitalized. In the near future, there might be more bloodshed to come. Fortunately, an organization called “We Really Care About a Really, Really Fast Internet” sincerely cares about the health and safety of every sin-
gle person on the Holderness School campus. Therefore, it is working at full speed and believes it might have found the key to solving the madness. Their first proposal suggested that only one computer should be connected to the Internet at a time. Since the unbearable speed of the Internet is caused (Continued on page 9)
Volume 9, Issue 10 Global Warming Changes People Lives for the Better By Marsha Mellow In today’s society many people claim that global warming is bad; however, that is a false assumption. It is actually helping us rather than harming us. Recent studies have shown how global warming is actually making people's lives better. Due to the hotter weather, summers have been even better than ever. The sun is out, and it is hot!! Research reveals that 10 out of 12 guys at Holderness claim they are shirtless almost 24 hours of the day in the summer due to the hot sun. A group of young ladies in the Secret and August Committee also claimed that they now spend 85% of their time at the beach in the summer. And due to the melting of the ice sheets and mountain glaciers, polar bears are slowly becoming extinct…finally! Who needs these big, beasty animals? They have been
loving it! Winters are long and arduous at Holderness, and having bearable walkbacks just makes life more manageable. Due to all of these things global warming actually seems to be benefitting Holderness and the world as well. Some Holderness students even claim they would rather have longer walkbacks than eliminate global warming. Maybe the 13-foot snow banks that surrounded our turf in early April do not support this theory; however, it is not uncommon to see an entire town known to kill ten times more Fortunately, this has led to less go completely frozen due to an people than coconuts every participation in snow sports at ice princess.

The Picador Entertainment By Jack Yanchitis ’15 Movie: The Other Woman Length: 49 min. Rating: PG-13 Director: Nick Cassavetes Cast: Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton, Nikolaj Coster -Waldau, Nicki Minaj There is no Oscar-nominated performance. There is no critically acclaimed director. There is no original plot. But there is one peculiar thing about The Other Woman that has kept it in the number one spot since it hit the theatres: Kate Upton. In her first acting appearance, Kate Upton plays the roll of the unsuspecting, innocent girlfriend who is dating a married man with another mistress. The rest of the movie is about the three women joining together to exact their revenge on the cheating SOB.

Overheards Collected by Parker Densmore Please email pdensmore@holderness.org if you hear anything that you think should be shared. Your relationship with her is the reason I get up in the morning.

By Youngjae Cha ’15 I don’t want to wear layers Like my distant neighbors But my dad forces me to put them on Without a second to frown upon The thick, solid concrete jacket I don’t want to ache in pain Yet my mom applies them without constraint She rubs pesticides and herbicides Usually with wastewater to economize I want to paint the paper green Filled with spots of golden spleens But my dad only knows of black and grey The smoke rising from the chimney every day What a sunny day To go out and play Yet my mom insists to trim my hair— The pine, the maple, the oak and even pear She keeps cutting until there is no hair
