Ben Lah leaving to play Chin Ho Kelly by
Kay Wasa-motter
Yesterday, esteemed college counselor Mr. Ben Lah revealed that he is leaving the ‘Iolani College Counseling department to star in Hawaii 5-0 as “Chin Ho Kelly.” After Daniel Dae Kim, the original actor who played Kelly, was placed under investigation for jaywalking, the directors called Lah to tell him that he would be replacing the star of the NBC Prime Time show. “I always knew this day would come,” said Lah, “counseling is fun, but in my heart, I always knew that I was a destined to play a hunky Korean on a mediocre crime series.” Three years prior, Lah auditioned for the part of Kono, thinking the part was for a male, but succumbed to a mysterious case of food poisoning on the day of callbacks. Now Lah is more de-
termined than ever to bring back the firepower that the show lacks. Hawaii 5-0 director Ricky Bobby said, “I like Lah for this part because he is not only the best looking man in Hawaii, but also spunky. He brings a lot to the table.” Although Lah is lacking in the usual requisite areas for this part such as acting, stunts, and experience, he makes up for these areas with intelligence and good looks. Some of the other actors who competed for the role included Lah’s fellow college counselor, Mr. Todd Fleming. When he did not receive the part, Fleming said, “I didn’t want to be in that show anyway. I just tried out to make Ben feel better about his acting skills.” The next airing of Hawaii 5-0 featuring Lah will be on February 30, 2015.

For the majority of students who, after refreshing Ticketmaster about five million times, did not get their hands on a highlycoveted, nearly-unattainable Bruno Mars concert ticket, the time of mourning is over. Dr. Cottrell recently revealed a purchase of 2,000 Bruno Mars concert tickets made by ‘Iolani School! In between bouts of fangirling over Mars, Cottrell explained the administration’s reasoning for such a philanthropic act for the good of the student body: “We wanted to do something nice for the students; they work so hard,” said Cottrell, “On the day that the box office opened, we filled the C-lab, W-labs, library, and Sullivan computer rooms with as many faculty members as possible. For over an hour, every teacher desperately refreshed Ticketmaster to purchase the floor-level seats. Sadly, their efforts were futile.” However, the faculty had one last hope. The IT-department called on the help of the infamous computer whiz, Korry Luke ‘15. With a few clicks of the mouse and some very speedy typing, Luke hacked the Ticketmaster database and snagged ‘Iolani 2,000 tickets, all on the floor level or riser seats, for the Friday, April 18th concert at the Blaisdell. These tickets will be available to all upper school students and faculty members for free!! In an exclusive interview, Mars exclaimed, “I’d better have some of that mochiko chicken in my dressing room, yo!”

In a stunning reversal of policy, the `Iolani English Department has decided that the current Keables codes are out dated. The writing style of students has evolved so much since the age of Mr. Harold Keables that his rules now serve to hinder their creative writing expression. Dr. Peter Webb, head of the English department, said “The Keables Guide is, like, seriously mega long, and I’m all like, ‘The kids have more going on than grammar learning, yo, so Doc LaGory and I, you know, like looked things over, the codes and li’ dat, and we’re all like, ‘Okay, no, dude, this is sooo not chill.’” Students like Trevyn Maruyama ‘15 agree that Keables codes are hindering student creativity so much so that they affect the ability of students to illuminate their ideas in literary form. “I think Keables
codes are hindering student creativity and the ability illuminate their ideas in literary form,” said Trevyn. The vocabulary lists will also increase to include more words that can be used in everyday life. Some of the words include: Yolo, swole, swag, and turn-up. The department is concerned that in this new age, ‘Iolani students are not up to date with the current terminology. “I am extremely content with these changes,” says Jacob Wagner ‘15. “I take great pleasure in learning modern syntax.” With addition of learning modern jargon, ‘Iolani hopes to make sure that students stay in with the latest trends. “Yo, if you can trot out words like this, you are rockin’ one supes swole brain,” said Dr. Webb.
Due to misgivings on the importance of Keables in the modern age, Dr. Webb has decided to abolish Keables corrections
