2009 Prom a Huge Success ~ Jim Havel ’09 Getting dressed up in a tux is always fun and the formality of the pictures and the event at large is what makes prom the best dance of your high school career, period. Parents were constantly taking picture after picture, with the common phrase, one more, I promise.

That one turns into at least 10 more. While you’re forced to fake a smile for your parents, you look over at your date and notice how great she looks. If you go with someone special, prom is a total blast. Even if you’re really good friends, to see girls look their best is fantastic. All the girls at Priory prom were doing just that and it showed just how much everyone values the promenade.

After arriving at the fantastic Double Tree hotel, everyone looks out for their friends to introduce their date or just say hello. Note to the underclassmen, when your date has to go the bathroom, expect her to bring at least five other ladies with her, I guess they need support in there, who knows what for. Guys’ restroom visits maybe last four minutes at the most. Expect your dates’ to last at least 12.

This year’s food wasn’t too bad, but it wasn’t great either. Undercooked steak seemed to be a theme for everyone, but naturally with 120+ orders, not everything can be perfect. The cheesecake was phenomenal though and that made up for the main course.

The Double Tree always treats us so well. While many seniors complained last year for a larger dance floor, one was not given to us this year and again overcrowding seemed to be the biggest concern.

The music selection was a great mix this year, of techno, rap, and the top 20.

We even had a country song, (Bless the Broken Road ) for a slow song. The song of the night though, was Ed Barry’s Electric Avenue.

To hear this 80’s classic was fantastic and we thank Fr. Michael for his contribution.

For all the Priory seniors, the 2009 prom was our last dance together. Many expressed the bittersweet feelings about this fact at the end of the night when man hugs were made and words of solemnity passed.

However that didn’t stop anyone from having a fantastic time.

Jeromans Undefeated Going Into State ~ Patrick Mulvihill ’10 The Jeromans Ultimate squad has done it again. Completing their third straight undefeated regular season, they are headed into the State Tournament this weekend with high hopes and optimistic expectations. This past Sunday in a double header, the Jeromans played two of the supposedly better teams in Saint Louis, Marquette and Francis Howell Central.

Needless to say they came out the victors, outscoring in both games with a combined score of 30-5.

Starting off at 2:00 PM, a prom induced Priory team went down 2-1, but quickly gained pace over an inferior Marquette team, going on a 12 point run, the result of a large turnout and a strong showing from underclassmen, leaving the score at 13-2. (Continue on page 4)

Entertainment Weekly The Hazards of Love Review Let me get this out of the way, there is a certain level of pretension one must be willing to bear with to listen to the Decemberists. This is a band that thoroughly enjoys esoteric references to Dylan Thomas and has written a nearly nineteen minute long song based upon 8th-century Celtic Ulster cycle's central poem "Tain Bo Cuailinge." If you can get past this and realize they do not take themselves too seriously and are only interested in telling a compelling story there is much enjoyment to be had.

Their most recent album is The Hazards of Love a nearly hour long song cycle, originally conceived as a musical, that is modeled after a British folk tale of love and revenge. Taking on subjects from infanticide to fawns that become human, this is their second album on a major label which effectively silenced any cry of “sell out.” While there might be a slightly higher production value this hyper-literate band proves they are going to do whatever they want and give little regard to the commercial viability of their art. There is no single in the traditional sense as all seventeen songs are meant to be heard in order. I would strongly encourage one’s first listening of the album to done in one sitting with little distraction.

To tackle this monumental task they enlisted a rotating act of guests, notables including Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond(who opened for them during their last stint in St. Louis) and Jim James of My Morning Jacket(the Decemberists apparently use love of possessives as a litmus test for guest roles).

Over the years the Decemberist’s arrangements have moved from striped down to the almost progishly orchestral, incorporating a vast amount of instruments like hammond organs, dulcimers, accordion, bouzoukis, mandolins, violas and the harpsichord. This veritable army of instruments however doesn’t affect their ability to expertly slide from bombastic rock to restrained ballads, as they do over the course of the album. The highlight is the creepily sociopathic “The Rakes Song” which tells of the tale’s antagonist’s murder of his own children, accompanied by urgent drums and unsettlingly exuberant backing vocals.

While the album has its brief bright moments, it is a painful tale with an ending befitting a Shakespearean tragedy.

I give Hazards of Love at 85/100 and encourage all those interested to see them at the Pageant on May 31st, they put on a memorable and engaging live show.

Taylor Swift Concert Review As all of you well-informed people know, the Taylor Swift concert was this past Saturday night, unfortunately a direct conflict with Prom. Being the rebellious person I am, I decided to go to the concert instead of Prom. No, it was not for lack of a date, I truly wanted to go to the concert.

Many people thought I should’ve said no to the concert, but it was honestly a great time.

In retrospect, it was the best night I have had in a long time. The concert was

~ Quinn Underriner ’10

~ Sean Lamb ’10

awesome, with Kellie Pickler opening for Taylor, both of whom played their best songs and interacted very well with the crowd.

Even someone who isn’t a fan of Taylor Swift would have had a good time at this concert: the ratio of women to men was probably 15 to 1, a stat that everyone can appreciate. All in all, I’m not sorry that I went because I still got to enjoy myself at a gathering after Prom and the concert was definitely a hit.

JV Tennis Update

WEDNESDAY ~ Trevor Jin ’12 The JV tennis team has had a very successful season so far. After tying and then barely losing the first two matches of the season, Priory has won six matches straight including a first place finish in the John Burroughs Tournament last week. There are still 7 more matches including the ABC tournament at the end. Led by 1st seed doubles team O’Dowd and Croghan and 2nd seed Lenke and Bedell, the rest of the season will hopefully be a continued success. Come out for a great time.

Appalachia Service Trip 14th

At 8:00 AM, Saturday the of March, 11 adventurous Juniors (and a few of their parents, along with Fr. Gregory and Br. Francis) said their farewells to Priory, St. Louis, and all of Missouri.

They were closely followed 40 minutes later by a 12th who had forgotten to set his alarm (you can probably figure out who).

Joe Altepeter, Eric Anderson, Robb Becker, Craig Boyce, Richard Byrd, Tim Davies, Nick Fosko, Doug Hall, Mike Hauesin, Philip Swat, along with Dr. and Mrs. Fosko, Dr. Altepeter, Fr. Gregory and Br. Francis, and Mr. Davies, set out for a several hour long drive to David, Kentucky. David is located in the poor area of the eastern U.S. known as Appalachia (pronounced ‘Apple-lat-chya’ by Fr. Gregory). Once we got within a few miles of the area the reason for our service was apparent. The occasional run-down trailer and abundant litter created a stark contrast to the beautiful mountainous landscape.

We stayed in something like an apartment building directly next to a school, and the common area between our rooms had a TV so we wouldn’t be totally bored in our downtime.

Sunday 5/3 ~ Richard Byrd ’10

When we weren’t bothering the people staying on the lower level of the building with our late night Gatorade-bottle-bowling, Super Mario Strikers tournaments, and intense games of Mafia, we were out helping the nuns at a nearby convent. They generously help out the impoverished people in their area, but due to the rain we couldn’t help them with fixing roofs or anything that required a dry environment. We still did plenty of work, filling in pot-holes, building French drains (under the supervision of Br. Francis, leader of the Mudbunnies), reconstructing a labyrinth maze, and doing a bunch of all around difficult and incredibly manly work. Most of us at some point spent time working on Adell’s (a very kind lady who was recently widowed) house-trailer, painting the walls and fixing it up. The change in her life for the better was a very emotional experience for her, and when we left after a week I’m sure all of us felt like we had done something good for that community in our work. I hope high schoolers next year will consider going on this great service trip.

Oh.. and Ohmes came too.

Athlete of the Week

Track Team at All-Catholic

Dan Noyes earns athlete of the week for his pivotal role on the Jeromans Ultimate Team both on and off the field.

His attitude and ethic, along with his unstoppable presence on the field, has been a huge factor to the Je ro m a n s ’ undefeated record this season. Good luck at the State To u r n a m e n t t h i s week, Jeromans!

This past Saturday the track team traveled across highway 40 to compete in t h e annual ABC League meet at Principia. Outstanding weather “reigned” for most of the day, creating the perfect blend of elements for a wife-beater tan pandemic to spread faster than swine flu throughout the Priory team. Sporting their flashy tan-lines, there was nothing flashy about the varsity team's performance as they limped to a sixth place finish (out of six teams) with 20 points.

Without the infusion of their younger members the juniors and seniors just weren't

Team of the Week

Marquette capitalized on a lazy, exhausted, somewhat swaggering squad, and scored on two long throws before the Jeromans were able to close things out, winning their seventh game of the season 15-4.

The Kestrel Tennis Team earns the team of the week for a second place finish in league just behind MICDS. A strong showing from the underclassmen and great play, both in singles and doubles, made for a strong season including a first ever win against a strong Chaminade team (6-1). Great job guys!

~ Sam Doerr ’09 quite up to par with the rest of the competition. However, in stark contrast to the varsity, the JV ran exceptionally well and placed second. Many of those sophomores and frosh will rejoin the varsity for the next meet, the Marion Freeman Clayton Invitational. If you have nothing better to do on Saturday and aren't going to the Ultimate Frisbee State Tournament at Buder Park (which is strongly encouraged by the Jeromans!), feel free to come out to Clayton HS and watch the track team for a bit. You may even get some of Coach Rebello's Poptarts and salted peanuts.

Jeromans 8-0 (continued)

In game two on the day, Francis Howell came down to the turf at 4:00 PM. They scored their ?irst and only point early to keep the Priory lead to 2‐1, but then the Jeroman upperclassmen stole the show. Brian Mallow, a newcomer to the sport, made an incredible grab for a point in his ?irst touch of the Frisbee on the season. His vertical gave Lebron a run for his money, out‐jumping and out‐styling two FHC defenders with his neon green sunglasses. Dan Noyes was an unstoppable force, hucking and laying out as only a Noyes can do. Drew Sexton,

Tennis Update

~ Patrick Mulvihill ’10

Kenny Capps, Teddy Altepeter, and Mike Puettmann made a great showing in the ?ield, while Sam Doerr and Patrick Mulvihill, sided alongside Noyes overcame every defense FHC threw at them.

To make things worse, Joey Wagner, the height and good looks of the team showed up just before half time, creating a pathway to greatness, with a huge win of 15‐1 for the Jeromans. The Jeromans hope to use these wins, and, well, all eight wins on the season for momentum in the State Tournament. After two years in a row with a second place ?inish, the Jeromans hope to come home with the state title. Everyone come out Saturday and Sunday at Buder Park to cheer on the team. Keep Throwin’, 0, .5, 1 Jeromans.

The Forum

Gymnast of the Week: Arlen Specter’s Flip-Flop The fore fathers of our nation designed our system of government to avoid having career politicians. Since the beginning of American history, however, the Citizens of the United States have chosen to ignore this fact, electing many members of Congress to term after term until they die or grow too old.

Look at former senator, Ted Stevens the man was 84 years old! John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay were members of Congress their entire adult lives. But why do I write about such a non controversial topic?

Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania has been a career politician since his inauguration in 1981. A leftist Republican, he was a Republican at a time when it was very popular to be so. The key word in that last sentence is was. This past week, the Senator, fearing for his political life, jumped ship and became a Democrat.

This sudden change comes at a time when it is VERY popular to be a leftist. Senator Specter is also down 10% in the most recent Pennsylvania GOP primary polls for the 2010 election. He and John McCain are the two GOP senators who are in jeopardy of losing their nomination in the primaries, Specter being in far worse shape. Specter claims his decision was based in “philosophical differences” with his party. That is absolute GARBAGE. The man knows he is going to lose his Senate seat and rather than do his job and represent the people, and his views for the last 30 years, he would rather hold the title of Senator, and receive all the great benefits those people get. In the words of the Chairman of the GOP, Michael Steele, “Arlen Specter committed a purely political and self-serving act. He simply believes he has a better chance of saving his political hide and his job as a Democrat. He loves the title of Senator more than he loves the

party--and the principles--that elected him and nurtured him.”

I could not agree more with the chairman.

Senator Specter blames the GOP for the current problems.

Yes, Republicans acted like Democrats from 2002-2008, but Senator Specter forgets that he was and is part of the problem. His voting record is exactly why the GOP is in shambles. Good riddance Mr. Specter. The GOP, if it is to ever succeed again, needs to purge itself of the Bush “neoconservatives” (fancy word for spending like crazy) such as Specter and McCain, and get back to its principles. Senator Specter voted for the atrocious “stimulus package” which has the potential to destroy my generation’s future hopes and dreams by putting us in the upwards of $19 trillion in debt.

President Obama, who vowed to clean up Washington , is going to endorse Specter. The President is not cleaning up our nation’s capital he is contributing to the problem by endorsing these self-serving career politicians who have put their own wants and needs above their duty to the people they represent, frankly above their nation. The President also knows that by endorsing Specter he nearly has the filibuster proof majority in the Senate, which gives him the comfortability to continue to spend outrageous sums of money we don’t have and pass socialist pieces of legislation.

The GOP will not give up though. They must grit their teeth and fight harder to preserve the good in this nation. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) need to take over leadership of the party and guide us through these dark times. Only with true conservative values and leaders can the GOP ever hope to regain power.

Cardinals Starting Off Season Strong The Cardinals have started off this year on fire. They are leading the NL central division, tied for the lead in the whole NL and for a while led the MLB. There are many players that have stepped up this year, especially Joe Thurston. In the absence of Troy Glaus, Thurston is batting .

304. Other players such as Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina, Brian Barden, Jason LaRue, and Ryan Ludwick are all hitting over .300 on the year. Also, to the surprise of many fans, the Cardinals pitching has been great. The five starters have gone 12-2 on the

year and it seems as if the closer by committee approach is working wonders for the team. The relief pitching has been doing great with help from new acquisitions such as Dennys Reyes. One problem that the team has had this year is fielding. The Cardinals are among the league leaders with 20 errors, but this will get better as the team gets to know each other. All in all the Cardinals have surpassed expectations for the year and are looking to make a playoff run and hopefully another World Series title.

Sleep & Dream Survey

Amusing Events of the Week

~ AP News

GREELEY, Colo. (AP) -- Police said a woman accused of attacking a pregnant college student with a child's scooter is in jail.

Authorities say 32-year-old Renee Soto was arrested on suspicion of assault for allegedly hitting University of Northern Colorado student Amanda Watkins in the back of the head and lower back with a child's metal scooter on Sunday. Watkins said she was attacked because she prevented Soto's 3year-old son from hurting a cat. Watkins, 26, said she was also scratched and punched and that three of her teeth were chipped during the attack.

A couple of weeks ago, many Priory students took part in a Sleep Survey we were putting on in order to better understand sleep patterns. Before reading the data, one should note what dreams really are and how they occur. Dreams come about solely during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Our sleep patterns dictate how much REM sleep we get, based on how long we are able to sleep and how restful that sleep is. Dreams are thought to be a mechanism that allows us to consolidate memories and delete harmful/false information from our minds. The longer one sleeps, the more REM sleep periods they have. Non-REM sleep occurs more frequently and provides us with a restful feeling. This is because during REM sleep, our brain functions at the same rate as when we are awake, but our brain functions very slowly during non-REM sleep. The results of our Dream/Sleep study demonstrate just how different the sleep patterns of both students and teachers are. In general, students sleep longer on the weekends than teachers because they go to bed later, but also wake up much later. Results like this skew the compilation of the data as a whole (such as over 90% of teachers wake up before 9:00 AM on weekends, whereas less than 15% of students do). Aside from the slight skew, the results are a good representation of the Priory body as a whole. Here are some of the results...

1. How often do you remember your dreams?

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) -- Check your engine for alligators. Denise Anderson, 33, planned to test drive a used SUV on Tuesday morning but got a big surprise, an alligator that measured more than 8 feet long. "I saw its eyes. Mouth. Its jaws. Its teeth, Anderson told the St. Petersburg Times. Managers of the Sun Toyota dealership called police for help. A licensed trapper also was called.

Mark Lewis with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said trapped gators that measure 4 feet or longer are "generally disposed." Lewis said its busy season for alligator sightings.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- No, the judge said to a 23-year-old Nebraska prison inmate. You can't call yourself "Sinner Lawrence Bilskirnir." Court documents said Jonathan L. Thomas cited his Norse religion in seeking the name change, saying he "is a heathen and Thor is his 'High God.'" But Lancaster County District Judge Steve Burns says government agencies need to closely track Thomas because of his criminal record and because there are three child-support cases against him. Burns says Thomas' reasons do not satisfy the legal requirements. In his ruling, Burns said that "simply because a person is a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim, they do not change their name to Moses."

WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -Tinker Bell has been reunited with her owners after a 70-mph gust of wind picked up the six-pound Chihuahua and tossed her out of sight. Dorothy and Lavern Utley credit a pet psychic for guiding them on Monday to a wooded area nearly a mile from where 8month-old Tinker Bell had been last seen.

The brown long-haired dog was dirty and hungry but otherwise OK. The Utleys, of Rochester, had set up an outdoor display Saturday at a flea market in Waterford Township, 25 miles northwest of Detroit.

Tinker Bell was standing on their platform trailer when she was swept away. Dorothy Utley tells The Detroit News that her cherished pet "just went wild" upon seeing her.
