Scholar Bowl Wins State ~ Zach Weiss, ’11 After an easy win over Potosi in sectionals, the St. Louis Priory Scholar Bowl team headed to Columbia last Saturday to play for the state title. Pulling into the beautiful Mizzou campus at around eight a.m., the Rebels felt confident, despite the absence of sports expert Jim Havel and assistant coach Hank Schake, who (daughter’s wedding or not) will only be called head coach if he ever decides to show up. The initial confidence was not enough to get the team through its first match with Cassville. By the second half Priory had begun to close the gap, but couldn’t do it in time to prevent Cassville from getting a narrow victory. The loss was a wake up call to the Rebels that they needed to get their act together. Shaking off their drowsiness, they managed to win their next two games in the prelims and moved on to the finals after lunch. Head coach Gayle Reichle provided enough moral support for both her and Mr. Schake, and although there were a few times when Jim’s expertise would have been helpful, questions about sports were surprisingly rare for an academic competition. Over hot toasty sandwiches, Captain Marlow Gazzoli prepared his team for what was to come. After the ordeal of trying to find something to eat, the Rebels headed off to
their first match of the finals against Hallsville, which was essentially a one man team (it was disturbing how much this guy knew). He may have had an intimidating knowledge of country music, but it wasn’t enough to beat the combined brilliance of Priory’s finest scholars. One sixty-point victory later the Rebels found themselves waiting to see who their opponent would be in the final match. It was between Cassville and reigning champions Notre Dame-Cape Girardeau. Not surprisingly, Cassville was soundly defeated, and Priory was in the exact same situation it had been in last year. However, this time Reichle’s Rebels had an advantage. Many scholar bowl teams consist of one brilliant player and three others to mop up any questions that player might miss. Notre Dame was no exception to this, but said brilliant player had graduated last year, and the team-oriented Rebels had kept much of their skill. Of course only time would tell if it would be enough to knock over Notre Dame and establish an undefeatable Scholar Bowl Dynasty that would last for at least another ten to twenty years. Priory snagged the first question right off the bat, and built up a small lead that managed to get them through the first quarter. (Continued on page 6)
Billy Brohan and Benny Broski’s Summer Guide ~ William Brohan and Benedict Broski As you all know, summer is quickly approaching and with it the brewing elation of freedom and joy. This being said, some of you might be looking for a lovely lady to share the good times with and we, here at the love den, are here to offer you a guide to enjoying summer, in both the romantic and bromantic aspects.

Entertainment Weekly Arbitrarily Judgementalitastic Greetings and welcome to arbitrarily judgementalitastic, the most trusted name in judgments. This weeks topic: Crazy Fads 1: Avant Garde Theatre- The basic idea behind avant garde theatre is that life is absurd, and thus, theatre should be absurd. Thus, plot, characters, and any other thing that makes a play worth seeing is removed. Instead we have “emotions”, “feelings”, and “powerful imagery”, which is a pretentious smokescreen for “little effort”, “no talent”, and “people pretend to like it so they seem smarter”. Pretty much the same idea behind modern “art”, I use quotations because it tends to be a haphazard jumbling of materials a five year old could make. An example of this would be a six minute play which only consists of a person going on stage, sitting down, and then getting back up after six minutes. This is not art, it is a scam. 2: Gangsta Rap- Music is supposed to be the reflection of emotion and beauty. If gangsta rap is the reflection of emotion and beauty for its artists, I think they should be at a psychiatrists, not a recording studio. Gangsta rap is praised as “revolutionary”, and it is, however, it proves that being revolutionary is not always good. Cool refrains? Who needs them when you’ve got automatic weapons fire. Story? Pick from the
~ Alexandre Todorov ’10
wide selection of either how great you are, how stupid your “enemies” are, or how the “hood” you grew up in is so tough. What’s even worse is that people actually emulate these guys, though the emulators tend to be words rhyming with “bite” “which” and “buburbians”. 3: Texting- In the beginning there was the telegraph, and it was good. But then the new fangled telephone came along, and developed to the point where it could do almost everything. Thus, the only logical way to move forward was to go back to the telegraph. Texting is probably the greatest scourge to hit American teenagers, as anyone who has visited a museum lately. There is nothing more disheartening than seeing slack jawed teens cooped over the cellphone, right next to an incredible exhibit of art from the time of Louis XIV. Texting has grown into a nationwide obsession, and a very expensive one to boot. Like the 13 year old girl who ran up a $4000 bill texting. It is addicting, and is the equivalent to taking normal conversation out into the woods and shooting it. I would go on, but the hate mail would probably crash the yahoo server. (Continued on page 6)

The Love Den - Summer Lovin’ ~ Billy Brohan and Benny Broski Frisbee, street hockey, perhaps stealing couches out of your neighbor’s trash, sitting on it while serenading traffic with a guitar on the corner of Conway and Mason, just to provide a couple of examples off the top of my head. While these activities may differ from each group of bros, a barefoot game of any recreational sport can never do you wrong. Lawn games and water volleyball probably serve best in my experience. This whole mentality is tough to pull off during the school year, but the summer is made for this laziness. While summer jobs are obviously a necessity in many cases, the best activities should not cost you much. Summer should not be spent with shoes on, should not be wasted indoors, should not be squandered by an overwhelming work load. Enjoy yourselves, savor every moment. Appreciate the fact that you could be in class or struggling on a homework or cramming for an exam. Bro it out as they might say, and stay classy.
Benny Broski: After spending time with your fellow bromo sapiens, however, there should still be some time for the ladies in your life. As illustrated in the classic movie Grease, a leather jacket, very fast car, and incredible singing and dancing skills always help while trying to woo members of the opposite sex, but even if you don’t look and act like John Travolta, you can still find your “Sandy.” And the coming of summer also brings about the coming off of shirts, and the revelation of your beach body, something you’ve hopefully been working on all year. If you don’t have that beach body, you’re doomed to be the only kid in the pool wearing a surf shirt, so get to work. Summer romances come and go, so they should not be first priority. Even still, there are a few factors that can help you out with impressing your potential female counterpart.

Athlete of the Week Stephen Theisen wins athlete of the week for his outstanding play this week in golf. Junior Stephen has led the entire golf team this year and Districts was no exception. He shot two under on t h e d ay a n d wo n Districts, just as he did league , by seven strokes. This outstanding play will hopefully continue in his performance at state , in southern Missouri near Springfield. Good luck at state Stephen, we’re all rooting for you!
Team of the Week Scholar Bowl earns the team of the week for their first place finish in the State in a strong showing in Columbia this past weekend. Captain Marlow Gazzoli led his team with a strong performance, finishing sixth in the state. Coaches Mr. Schake and Mrs. Reichle have an optimistic future in Priory Scholar Bowl, graduating only two of the six members of this Team. Good job Scholar Bowl!
Priory Sports Weekly Kestrels Update The Priory Kestrels have had a successful week last week. We faced Whitfield on Monday and won 6-1. District doubles team Drew Thome and Matt Keating played well and won their match in straight sets. One interesting point in the match was when one of Whitfield’s players tried to poach on Drew’s return, which resulted in him getting hit in the sternum. We faced Burroughs on Wednesday and had a very close match. Thome and Keating were the first to get a victory, winning their match 6-2, 6-0. Kenny Capps and Nick Pignotti followed, winning their doubles match 6-3, 6-1. We were down 3 matches to 2, and we needed wins from both our third doubles and our fourth singles. Freshman Jack Schmerold and Junior Matt Menendez came through, winning the 3rd doubles match in three sets (3-6, 6-1, 6-3).
JV Tennis Update Talks of spring remind most people of three things: flowers, rain, and JV Tennis. With a legacy of domination to uphold, the JV squad again came through, proving to be the most dominant team in the ABC League. After losing the first match of the season, the Rebels went undefeated for the rest of the season with a final record of 13-1-1. The regular season, however, is child’s play compared to the ABC League Championships, a tournament full of prestige and tradition that easily compares to that of Wimbledon. Again, the Rebels proved too much for the competition, winning 4 of the 8 singles
X Update Some people may question the validity of the X Squad as a sports requirement, some may even question the athletic ability of those who participate on the team, but these people are sorely mistaken. Although for the twentythird straight year the State Tournament was rained out, the Priory X Squad finished the season with a perfect 27-0-0 record. Completing their eighth straight perfect season, and the nineteenth straight winning season, X Squad is far and away the greatest dynasty in Priory sports history. Team Captain Alexandre looks forward to the 2010 season. “I have a lot of faith in my guys, both the upcoming seniors and the incoming support from the underclassmen. I believe my troops will cut
~ Peter McLaughliin, ’10 With the win at third doubles tying the overall score at 3 to 3, it was all up to sophomore Rick Mazuski. Mazuski went down the first set 4-6, but battled back in the second and evened the score at 6-1. The third set was a long fought battle but he came through, winning the set 6-2 and clinching the overall victory at 4-3. The Kestrels faced Lutheran North on Wednesday and prevailed, winning 7-0. We were scheduled to play Parkway West on Friday, but the match was cancelled due to rain. Districts take place this week on the 13th and 14th at Principia. Everyone should come out and support the team.
~ Sean Lamb, ’10 championships and 2 of the 4 doubles championships. It was a bittersweet victory for juniors Danny Croghan, Nick Fosco and Sean Lamb, 3-year veterans on the team, as this tournament was their last chance to remorselessly dominate the competition on the JV level. The JV tennis team also had a solid core of young talent, with freshmen on courts 1, 2, and 5. As a team, we would like to extend a special thanks to Mr. Dodds, our exceptional coach who not only improves our tennis game but also often provides rides to matches, the first person to arrive and last to leave.
~ Patrick Mulvihill, ’10 through the opposition like a knife through warm butter. 2010 3A State Champs, no doubt about it.” Post season honors are as follows: Yale Thomas, Rookie of the Year; Michael Haueisen, 2nd Team All-League Jogger, 1st Team All-State Kickball; Quinn Underriner, 1st Team All-League Bench Press; Colin Barry, All-League Honorable Mention Squash; Patrick Mulvihill, 2nd Team AllAmerican Sit-Ups; Ben Constantino, 1st Team All-American Frisbee; Alexandre Todorov, 1st Team All-World Soccer. Special thanks and congratulations to Coach Tim Bussen, AllIntergalactic Coach of the year. Great Year X Squad, until next year, goodbye.

WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) -- A pilot who landed his four-seat airplane on an Illinois golf course so his 14-year-old son wouldn't be late for a tennis lesson has been sentenced to 18 months of court supervision. Lake Villa resident Robert Kadera pleaded guilty Wednesday to criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. Lake County Associate Judge Charles Johnson also ordered the 66-year-old to pay a $500 fine and perform 60 hours of community service. No one was injured in March 2008 when Kadera landed on a golf course in Lincolnshire without permission. Police stopped Kadera and his son as they were walking to a nearby tennis club. Johnson told Kadera to stay away from the golf course. Kadera is still subject to any action by the Federal Aviation Administration.
HANNIBAL, Mo. (AP) -- Police said a northeast Missouri mother used her 1year-old child to shield a man from a Taser during a confrontation with officers. The woman, 20, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and interfering with an arrest. She was arrested Tuesday night and placed at the Marion County jail on a 24-hour hold. The child, whose gender police did not release, was placed with another family member. Officers were at an apartment checking on an assault claim made by the woman when a man confronted them, making threats. One of the officers displayed a Taser as the man approached. Police said the mother offered her child to the man, placing the toddler in the Taser's path. The man, 22, faces two counts of resisting arrest.
CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) -Cozmo the Jack Russell terrier has done what neither rain, sleet nor the gloom of night has been able to do - keep postal carriers in Clarksburg from their appointed rounds. Postal Service spokeswoman Cathy Yarosky said mail delivery to seven homes on Milford Street was halted because of the 20-pound terrier. She said a carrier was injured after falling while trying to run away from Cozmo. Cozmo's owners Jimmy and Justine Marino, said the dog has never bitten anyone. But they acknowledged he has gotten out of the yard a few times. The Marinos have been told mail delivery won't resume until they get rid of the dog. Jimmy Marino said efforts to find a new home for Cozmo have been unsuccessful.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Officials at a Providence hospital group said an oral surgeon began operating on the wrong part of a patient's mouth this week before discovering the error. It's the fifth wrongsite surgery in the last two years in the Lifespan hospital chain. Timothy Babineau, president of Rhode Island Hospital, said that the mistake occurred Monday at Hasbro Children's Hospital. Babineau said Wednesday the surgical team was able to perform the correct procedure with "good results." He said the patient is in good condition and no complications are expected. A hospital spokeswoman said the state Department of Health is investigating.
ORAOPOLIS, Pa. (AP) -- Police said they arrested a Pittsburgh-area man twice within three hours on a charge of driving under the influence of prescription drugs. Police said they first pulled over a 26year-old man about 8:30 p.m. Friday. They said he had muscle relaxers and another type of pills used to help people withdraw from opiates in his car after he failed a field sobriety test. Police say they dropped the man at his mother's house telling him DUI charges would be mailed to him. About 11:15 p.m, police said the man came to the police station seeking medication seized from his car. Police said the man told them he got a ride to the police station, but they pulled him over when they saw him try to drive away.
STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) -- Two senior citizen sisters accused of selling heroin in northeastern Pennsylvania are trying to work out a plea bargain. The Monroe County district attorney has said that 70year-old Elizabeth Grube and 65-year-old Elaine Volkert, both of Stroud Township, were making up to $10,000 a week in profits. They gave up their right to a preliminary hearing Wednesday. Grube's lawyer, Jason LaBar, says "the ladies got caught up in something and just kept rolling along." He says the defendants are cooperating with authorities and hope to avoid jail time. Assistant District Attorney Michael Mancuso said he hopes the defendants' cooperation will cause prosecution of higher-level dealers.

White Lies for Dark Times Review 4th,
On Monday May Ben Harper released his newest studio album. The key difference in sound on Harpers 9th album, White Lies for Dark Times, has to do with a major change that he made before recording the album. Harper decided to leave his former band, The Innocent Criminals, which he collaborated with on his last album, and team up with Relentless7, a group of Austin based musicians who worked with him on 2006’s Both Sides of the Gun. For this album, Harper decided to completely change the style of his music and traded in his easily recognizable acoustic sounds for a mix of classic delta blues and a genre of rock that only The Yardbirds, Cream, and the Rolling Stones can claim, while still keeping his rootsy melodic voice in perfect tune with the new sound. “Shimmer and Shine”, the
~ Colin Barry, ’10
albums single, full of catchy hooks, blues/funk rhythms, and Harper’s powerful voice, sets the way for White Lies for Dark Times’ theme, music that is not bluesy enough to sound predictable but not so poppy enough that you will have to tell that kid sitting next to you in math class (You know who you are) to stop singing the same two lines over and over again. For those of you who CRAVE Ben Harper’s ability to dive into any genre be it folk, reggae, or funk, sorry to disappoint you because this album will give you nothing in between soft and hard. But for those of you who appreciate an already celebrated musician completely switching up his style in an album that, while drawing significantly from the past, is still innovative, go out and buy this album now.
Scholar Bowl (cont.)
~ Zach Weiss, ’09
Notre Dame tried its hardest to catch up before the end of the half, but a heap of bonus questions only put Priory further ahead. At halftime an obviously shaken Notre Dame called in a substitution. The third quarter saw Notre Dame trying to exploit the Rebels’ weakness in math calculation questions, but by the end of it Priory still held the lead. However, the difference in points and the slew of bonus questions in the fourth meant it was anyone’s game, so Captain Marlow and the boys really got serious. Notre Dame put up a good fight, but they never could overtake Priory, and the game ended 225 to 160. The Rebels were state champions.
The win was entirely a team effort, and Mrs. Reichle praised the hard work of everyone involved. Captain Marlow scored the most points out of everyone, being named sixth all-state. The second highest number of points were scored by sophomore Zach Weiss (no big deal), and Matt Menendez and Richard Mazuski were essential to answering any questions involving math calculation. Junior Alexandre Todorov proved himself more than worthy of getting on varsity his first year in Scholar Bowl. In the end, the team had fun and learned important life-lessons about preparedness, teamwork, and that Anton Chekhov actually did write short stories.
Arbitrarily Judgementalitastic (cont.) 4: Hummers- What’s big, ugly, wasteful, and only cool because its expensive? Yup, the hummer, probably the epitome of American consumerism. The only reason it ever became popular was that it was expensive, it was a way of saying that you had too much money. What was left unsaid was that you had no taste. People tried to defend it as an “offroad vehicle” yet it was obviously designed to be a city car. 5: Pokemon- To this day I still do not know how this (expletive deleted) game works, and I don’t know why it ever became popular. It was so incredibly confusing, and the only reason people got into it was because of the tv show. It was moderately cool when you were six, with the laser beams and violence. So the show is understandable but the card game
~ Alexandre Todorov, ’10 was incomprehensible, the rules did not make sense, no one understood how the power cards worked, in fact most of the fighting that occurred was between two 6 year olds about the rules, not between Pokemon. Plus, looking back, this show set a very bad example. The whole show was about enslaving animals and forcing them to fight each other, it was breeding a generation of Michael Vicks! Plus Misty was only there for fan service and to support Ash, which did not exactly help our acceptance of women’s lib. So to wrap it up, it was loony, incomprehensible, and corrupting. Enjoy your summer, Arbitrarily Judgementalitastic

~ Alexandre Todorov ’10
On behalf of The Record, we would like to recognize and thank the outstanding support and participation given by the writers of The Record and The Record Weekly, who make sacrifices, both socially and academically, in order to entertain and inform the student body, faculty, and community. We look forward to the upcoming year and pledge to cover the activities of Priory and the world around us to the best of our abilities. Thank you again for your support, we would be nothing without your readership. Good luck on exams and an outstanding summer. ~ The Record Staff
The Junior class wins the first ever c l a s s o f t h e ye a r fo r t h e i r immeasurably devoted outlook on the Priory community. The Juniors make up the core of the athletic aspects of the school (varsity quarterback: need I say more?). Not only this, the Juniors emanate the spirit of Priory itself, from an academic standpoint to a recreational aspect to their inherent ability to light up the room upon their very entrance. Yes, every single one of them do this in their own unique way, from Dan Ohmes’ warm smile to Luke Schmerold’s interrogative nature to Patrick Moley’s witty humor. People fail to recognize the Junior’s helping nature in their goal to create the wonderfully loving atmosphere. Billy Busch and Colin Barry proudly accepts this award on behalf of the Class of 2010. “I am proud of my friends and my classmates,” Billy says. Colin agrees with a boyish grin, “Yeah, I’ve been craving this recognition all year, but now, once I’ve gotten this recognition, I want different recognition, for, like, being a sweet squash player and stuff.” Truly inspirational words from truly inspiring people. Congratulations to the Class of 2010!
