How to Compose a Masterpiece Article for the Record

S

o I hear you want to write for The Record? It’s actually not hard to do, and the title “school newspaper writer” looks really good on your college application.

The first step is to get yourself a topic. A topic can be anything from the student with the incredible art skills (Grant Dow), to the best-dressed teacher (Mr. Heerlein). Everything and everyone has a story, told or untold. The Record is looking for the untold ones. Find a topic that you are passionate about too, because that makes writing about it a lot easier. The topics that The Record looks for the most are Priory news and student opinions. If you can’t think of a topic, just ask myself or Peter Cogan for ideas.

After you’ve found your topic, it’s time to do a little research.

Build the core of your article by finding out the who, what, when, where, why, and how of your topic. Besides Internet research,

By Luke McGartland ‘14

one way to do this is through the long lost art of interviewing. If you want to get the best scoop on what happened, you need to go straight to the source. Find out who was involved and politely ask them if they would like to do an interview for your article.

Prepare your questions ahead of time, and make sure the person you’re interviewing is prepared to talk about your topic. The easiest way to get quotes down for your article is to record the interview using the built in microphone on your cell phone. Afterwards you can listen to the interview and write quotes down. You can also do interviews through facebook, making them easier to carry out.

After you’ve done your research, and gotten the facts straight, it’s time to sit down and write the article. The purpose of an article is to tell a story to the people.

You need to make it stand out as they glance over the first few sen-

tences. Your opening paragraph should include who, what, when, and where. Then go into more detail explaining the why and how in a few more short paragraphs.

Include facts from your research and quotes from your interviews.

Finally, wrap up your article by summarizing the facts. Remember to revise and edit mistakes because it will make your article better and more professional.

The last step of writing an article is coming up with a title. The trick to coming up with a catchy title is exaggeration. Example: “How to Compose a Masterpiece of Writing for The Record” sounds much more interesting than “How to Write an Article for The Record.”

When you’re finally satisfied with your article, email it to editors Peter Cogan and Jack Mueller at theprioryrecord@gmail.com and get ready to see your name in print in the next issue of The Record!

News Presidential Election 2012 Review

L

ast Tuesday night around 10:10 Central Time, Barack Obama retained a title with which only 44 men in the history of the United States of America have been graced. Interestingly enough, The Honorable also joined an elite company including the likes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and most recently George W. Bush, in becoming only the sixteenth President to be re-elected as Commander in Chief. After receiving a phone call of congratulations from his competitor Mitt Romney, President Obama walked out onto a massive stage in his hometown of Chicago to deafening roars of elation from thousands of faithful present. His wife, Michelle, and two daughters, Malia and Sasha, were right behind him. After waving to the crowd, beaming, Barack Hussein Obama moved to the podium to deliver his second acceptance speech. President Obama spoke evocatively with a sense of urgency in expressing his upcoming goals: “ You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours. And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together. Reducing our deficit. Reforming our tax code.

Fixing our immigration system.

Freeing ourselves from foreign oil. We’ve got more work to do.”

He consciously moved from topic to topic: from thanking various key cogs in his re-election campaign, his family, his supporters, and the American people as a whole, thanking ev-

ery ensemble, every organization, and everyone often. In closing, Obama reflected on what he believes what makes America great and what lies ahead, saying: “What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth. The belief that our destiny is shared; that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations. The freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights.

And among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism.

That’s what makes America great...

America, I believe we can build on the progress we’ve made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new security for the middle class. I believe

we can keep the promise of our founders, the idea that if you’re willing to work hard, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you live... I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests. We’re not as

cynical as the pundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are and forever will be the United States of America. And together with your help and God’s grace we will continue our journey forward and re-

News mind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on Earth. Thank you, America.

God bless you. God bless these United States.”

This conclusion was met with a gradual, resounding outcry of support and euphoria from the present Obama backers, and this sound of support followed him as he left the podium.

On another note, November 6, 2012, left no man more in confusion that Mitt Romney.

This race was thought to be very close indeed, with some reports that Romney would even pull out a respectable victory by winning multiple swing states. This, however, was not the case. Although the race was closer than the 97 electoral vote margin suggests, Romney was defeated in almost all of these swing states.

Among the states that Romney lost, which he was thought to win or be very close to winning, were Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and running-mate Paul Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin. Romney also lost states that were supposedly favoring him as well, which

“If you’re willing to work hard, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you live.”

-President Barack Hussein Obama were Iowa, New Hampshire, and Colorado.

The aftermath of this election points to one thing for the GOP; a changing of the guard.

Few remnants of the Bush-Cheney ticket remain relevant for a major office, and fewer remain from the Reagan-Bush era. However, shining up and comers such as Florida Senator Marco Rubio, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and now former Mitt Romney running mate Paul Ryan, previous Congressman from Wisconsin have the green light for their own presidential pursuits. Of course, we will know more for sure three years from now who the real prospects are for the Grand Ole Party, and these new names will look to offer a stupendous opposition to their Democrat counterparts.

Obama, on the other hand, will enjoy four more years as this country’s most prominent

ambassador. His final aims will be to fully implement Obamacare, increase priority on Social Security and Medicare, reducing unemployment, and finally with stabilizing the economy and turning our 16 trillion dollar deficit into surplus, or something close to that.

In conclusion, this election, as I predicted last month, was closer than most, and will provide a significant reference point for years to come as turning points in our nation, with the possibilities of Obamacare being fully implemented, a more rigid income tax introduced, and the legalization of non-traditional marriages.

Furthermore, we are potentially witnessing very momentous events in our nation’s history.

Therefore, we should all pay acute attention over the next four years to what is currently happening in our country, as what we could think of our country could change forever in the blink of an eye, for better or for worse.

Sports Priory Season Opener a Success

By John West Rouke III ‘13

A

s football, soccer, and cross country come to an end the Rebels Hockey Team suits up for an exciting season opener versus Parkway West on Tuesday. The team lost 3 seniors from last year and is starting the season with TJ Niemann, our goalie, hurt. With only one senior this year, Captain Jack Rourke, many people are saying “Oh you guys won’t get very far because you only have one senior.”

However those foolish miscreants forgot to take into account that Jack Rourke dangles benders and snipes tenders. Along with the lone senior, the junior class is showing a lot of promise from the ranks of John Yannakakis, Brayton Briggs, Paul Deschler, and assistant captains Brendan Gaffney and Carlo Herbosa. The underclassmen are also showing some promise from Ben Kraus and newcomer

Weaver. With only two practices before the game the team was very nervous, but we managed to beat the benders that call themselves Parkway West 3-2. With excellent goaltending by Stephen Clark the Rebels managed to pull out a win.

To see what other people thought about the upcoming season several people were interviewed. Thomas Raybuck said, “Yeah I mean the Rebels are looking really good this

year I wish I would have played hockey instead of basketball, because the hockey team is far superior to the basketball team.” Will Atticus Finch Uelk said “while I was defending Tom Robinson in court the other day I realized that the hockey team is really good.”

The team looks to go 2-0 Friday vs. Wentzville Timberland at 9:00.

Faculty Spotlight: Zachary Poelker

I

By William O’Brien ‘14

n just a short amount of time, Mr. Zachary Leonard Poelker has established himself as a cornerstone of the current Priory.

In case you haven’t heard, he is a coach for Priory’s football team and rumor has it he’s taking JV basketball to levels unheard of.

But he is most famous for sitting at his tiny desk in the library, controlling the room with an iron fist. I must admit it has become a part of my daily ritual to come into the library with classmates to catch up with Mr. Poelker, who may be the most approachable man since Ghandi. Instantly recognizable by his college lineman size and exquisite wardrobe, students of Priory seem to gravitate towards him like young teenagers towards the mall. The library has now become an essential part of my day which oddly enough has forced me to study. Weird how things work like that isn’t it?

Recently the Priory community has heard that Mr. Poelker may not be in the library after this term, and the response

6

was strong. Two separate petitions were started, asking anyone who would like to see Mr. Poelker to continue his role in the library to sign. This petition was placed on the front door of the high school. In one day there were over two hundred signatures collected.

Now obviously there are a lot of factors that go into this decision, and the student body has to realize that not everything we want can come to fruition. However, the student body is making it clear to Mr. Poelker that we appreciate the time he has spent back at Priory, and hope to see him still there in the future. Regardless of what the future holds, we thank the jolly librarian/coach and wish him the best. Laus Tibi Domine.

(P.s- Ask some of the teachers for some stories about Mr. Poelker. He was a student here not long ago and I hear Senora has a couple crazy stories about him.)

Sports Basketball Season Begins, Rebels Look to Out Work Opponents

R

ebels basketball is not known to produce long stretches into the post season. Even as captain I admit this. But what Rebels lack in talent, they make up for in effort, and a love for the game.

And this year, the Rebels are going to work as hard as Drew Callahan does on forearm curls,

Senior Captains Jack Mueller and Thomas Raybuck

By Jack Mueller ‘13

seek to produce a very strong, conditioned team, that will not yield to tough teams due to fatigue or being smaller. If the team loses, it is due to talent, and a team will not regret games like that.

All this being said, I have high hopes for the season. With this increase in physicality, and two returning starters (Jack Mueller and Ryan Token) the Rebels

should produce tough games for any opponent. Ryan Token will lead the Rebels long range shooting unit. Sam Newman and Thomas Raybuck combine to head the versatile attack team, driving and hitting three’s equally well. Sam Fortman, Nate Vanderhaar, Quentin Amice, Thomas Burton, Paul Davies, and myself seek to dominate the post and

clean up any rare trash that falls.

The rebels welcome a new coach to the squad: our favorite librarian Coach Poelker!

Believe me that his humor carries over into practice, and I expect his game-time intensity to follow as well. Just more reasons to come watch your Rebel basketball-ers in action.

Laus tibi domine.

How to Survive the NHL Lockout

A

t 11:59 Eastern Time on September 15, 2012, the current NHL lockout, officially began, devastating hockey fans across the country. Many St. Louis Blues fans have expressed their dismay, and the news has been all over the Facebook world and the Twitterverse. This labor dispute is a terrible tragedy that we can all agree is a terrible thing, right? Wrong.

Ever since the beginning of time, the NHL has been the worst of the four major professional leagues (NBA, MLB, NFL). This is nothing against the NHL—I’m sure it’s a wellrun league. It just has to do with how terrible of a sport hockey is.

By Thomas Burton ‘13

Hockey is essentially a very cold game, played with a flattened ball (I am legitimately convinced that hockey was invented when soccer players had their ball flattened and began to hit it with sticks).

Hockey is also inexplicably played on a wet, slippery surface, making any fall miserable for someone unfortunate enough to tumble.

Although some consider it fun to watch (myself excluded), many people are hockey fans simply because of the fighting that often goes on during the games. If you enjoy watching dudes hit each other, I suggest boxing, but fighting is already its own sport, so it is totally unnecessary in hockey.

In addition, there are so many other quality sporting events going on during this time that it is ludicrous to consider the NHL lockout a bad thing. Basketball, plain and simple, is a much better sport than the NHL. And during the winter months, there are not one, but two quality basketball leagues. First, there is college basketball, where the greatest postseason tournament in all of sports exists and everyone goes all out, since most of the star players only spend one year in college. There is also the NBA, where freakish athleticism manifests itself throughout the season (although most of the players

Like the Record Facebook Page!

don’t try too hard until the playoffs). In addition to basketball, both professional and college football run well into winter. So even if you are a hardcore NHL fan, there are more than enough options to keep you entertained during the lockout.

So in conclusion, don’t fret over the NHL lockout. There are many better sports to watch during the winter. And although I am no hockey fan, by no means am I discouraging you from going to Priory hockey games.

School spirit is always a good thing, and besides—who doesn’t like watching Jack Rourke fall on his butt?

New Video Production Studio Paves Way for Rebel TV

T

By Br. Sixtus Roslevich O.S.B.

he students in Mrs. Raley’s Form IV Video Production class have spent the past two weeks cleaning and transforming the Singer House Annex for use as a video facility in time for the beginning of Winter Term classes on November 18. The class will learn basic techniques including the use of a chromakey green background for inserting footage or an image behind an actor. The plan is to utilize the space for producing segments of the new “Rebel-TV” program.

The Singer House Annex, one of the original structures on campus dating to the 1940’s, was formerly used as Br. Mark’s photography classroom and darkroom but has been sitting vacant since his move three years ago to the new wing of the Junior School. Working under the supervision of Mrs. Raley, Br. Sixtus and Mr. John Russell (father of John ’16), the class has removed old carpeting, spackled and painted walls, washed windows, swept the distinctive hip roof of leaves and fallen branches, and cleaned the rain gutters. The final big exterior improvement will be the power-washing of the siding and the gutters. A generous patron of the Fine Arts Department has given several large pots of fall mums and a garden gate to enhance the building’s entrance.

Besides Mr. Russell, a number of other Priory Dads with extensive backgrounds in television, film and special events has come forward to volunteer their time and expertise. Will Bealke ’71 (father of Logan ’15 and Tyler ’17) has 30-plus years of experience producing and directing

sporting events for ESPN, Fox Sports, and the major television networks including work on the recent London Olympics.

Priory’s two Chilean exchange students from Colegio San Anselmo in Santiago were part of the work crew. They are Lucas Correa and Ignacio Al-

lende who will be returning home after the Winter Term.

When apprised of the commotion going on next door to his stained glass studio in the adjacent Singer House, Br. Symeon remarked, “No problem!

It’s good to have neighbors again!”

Opinion & Enterta Michael’s Vexations Blog: The Priory Rap Game

A

n outsider looking in at the Priory community would be quick to say that rap game has ceased to exist since the great “Speezy Debacle of ’11”. To say this vexes me is putting it b lu nt l y.

The Priory rap game has never seen brighter days and is making such great improvements not only in the rhymes which the students spit but also the beats being dished out by Priory’s finest.

In stunning Priory fashion these ‘rapwrights’ attempt to add at least three literary devices per rap battle. Critics of the rap community

By Michael Herman ‘14

often say that Priory men often lack flow when they hit the mic.

Naturally I would be inclined to disagree. The current Rap King of Priory, who would prefer to re-

places to come to learn to rap because you are constantly surrounded by the works of the young rappers. In fact even at the faculty level do we have masters of the

main nameless for safety reasons, says that after a grueling night of homework he often spends up to four hours working on the swagger with which he uses when he lays down his verses. If this is not a true testament to dedication I simply do not know what is.

In truth Priory is one of the best

rap game. A relatively unknown rap crew in the Priory community that at one time made its presence felt in the outside world is DJ Mr. Carroll and the boys. This crew went head to head against some of the biggest names in rap and came out victorious in many of their battles. The single Car-

roll boy swag is a work of lyrical gold which is written exclusively in the hendecasyllabic meter and boasts a series of lines with end rhymes that contain three separate 11 syllable words that fit the meter.

It seems that teaching may be merely a side job for some of our very own.

So I ask any critics to sincerely chiggity check themselves before they wreck themselves next time they talk any trash on any of the Priory community’s lyrical geniuses that work all day and night busting fat rhymes. WORD.

“ ... after a grueling night of homework he often spends up to four hours working on the swagger with which he uses when he lays down his verses.”

Hazardous Exam Distractions for the Weekend

By William O’Brien ‘14

I

t’s that time of year again. I think it’s safe to say that the school year doesn’t REALLY begin until fall exams. That’s when students really need to buckle down, get out those books, sit down with a hearty dosage of cheezits, and start studying. Now that being the case, we all find ourselves distracted at times. One instance where you find yourself distracted is through social media. How many times have you gone to look at Facebook for only a couple of minutes? A couple of minutes turn into an hour very quickly. Also on a side note, to the students of priory, would you all stop posting/tweeting about

how hard you’re studying right now? Clearly you are NOT studying right now. If you were studying, you would not be typing out your status and checking your likes every thirty seconds. You are seeking a reward of admiration from an online community when in actuality, the only reward

time efficient. However, talking to the lady friends about how crazy your next weekend is going to be is not. Music is a distraction in disguise. Nothing sets the mood for any occasion like the right song. But you’ve got to be careful about this one. You can’t just put your iPod on shuffle and expect to

If you turn on NFL countdown at nine in the morning, you stay there till about ten at night when the last game ends. And then of course there’s post game coverage, not to mention the constant worries of how your fantasy team is doing (unless your team is like mine, in which case a win is a forgone conc lu s i on . ) Throughout exam w e e k end, we are all going to face our own distractions. It’s going to be hard but ultimately it all depends on you, the students. Good luck and good grades to you all.

“You can’t just put your iPod on shuffle and expect to get work done when Ke$ha comes on.” you should be seeking is an A+ on that Heerlein final, unattainable as that may be. Another huge distraction is cellphones. This one seems obvious, but is really a double-edged sword. On one hand asking a friend for help on something is good and can be
