To Wear or Not to Wear

Almost all the magazines recommended for teens have at least one article on what kind of clothing you should and should not wear. But they never really ask the opinion of the people who are actually going to be wearing the clothes. So I'm going to compare different things about Hollister and Aeropostale, like prices and clothing quality, but I'm going to try not to make it like a boring news letter. The first thing that isn't the best about Aeropostales clothing is that just about every shirt or sweat shirt you can find there either says, Aero, or Aeropostale 1987. So at least you can never forget where you bought your shirt! Hollisters shirts don't have Hollister written all over them, but they usually have something about California. Most of the time their shirts are the same style with a different pattern on them or they are the same pattern just on different styles of shirts. The jeans at Hollister and Aeropostale are just regular everyday jeans but some have holes some don't, it just depends on the style.
I personally am not a big fan of Hollister. I've never ever bought anything from Hollister and I think their perfume stinks! (Abercrombie and Fitch smells worse though). Aeropostale has a "signature" perfume but they don't spray it throughout the store. Not to say that walking around smelling like a clothes store is bad or anthing, it's your choice, but i wouldn't.

Now I'm going to switch gears and talk about prices. At Aeropostale if you want a T-shirt then the usual price is going to be $15.50, their tank tops are $7.99, and their sweaters can get up to $44.00 . Hollisters shirts are around $24.00. Their sweaters can get up to $60.00! Right now most of the stores are going through sales so the prices are generally good, but money doesn't grow on trees so good luck getting a $60.00 sweater.

Treats for Troops

Think about this, your thousands of miles away from home the bunker gear your wearing makes the heat even more unbearable. You wish you could talk to your family for awhile but you can't. Imagine what you would really want if you had days like that on a day to day basis. The school is going to have a few boxes up in the office to put supplies in that we can send to the troops. One of the main things we would like to send them is chap stick, there is a paper being handed out to all the fourth period teachers with a list of all the items that would be helpful to the troops. Mr. Sage has already added an item to the box. He put in a pen that one of his shop students made in his class. The boxes will be in the office for ten days at the least.

The Publications Class

Rachel hides from the camera


This years publications class is split up into four different groups. Those groups are of course blog and yearbook, but the ones you might not hear about much are video yearbook. They make sure that they get a picture or video footage of every student around LMS. The other group there is, is video productions. They are the ones who make the Friday Show every week. If you have ideas for the Friday Show tell video productions.

The blog group obviously writes the blog since your reading it right now. The yearbook group is the main group of the publications class.They are the ones who make the awesome yearbook everyone buys at the end of the year. Each person gets to create one or two pages for the yearbook. This is the first year we have done a school blog here at LMS. That is a little bit about this years publications class. Now heres some pictures of the editors of each group.

Random Stuff Happening Around LMS

It's a new quarter! Most of us will be switching electives except publications students. We will all be sitting in the same classes this quarter. This new quarter brings on new subjects and new projects. It all can get pretty stressful but at least you can look forward to the due date because after that you don't have to worry about it anymore. Leadership is also trying to get us all to dress up in blue and white the last Friday of every month. So make sure you get your blue and white ready and show some school spirit!

The girls soccer team also has their first soccer game this Thursday against Kings in Kings.Go Lady Cougs! Next week we don't have school all week because of conferences and Thanksgiving. Thats a whole nine days!

The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker is a show that happens every year around Christmas time. It is a ballet that Whidbey Island Dance Theater (WIDT) does every year.This year is the 16th season of the Nutcracker. There are a few LMS students that are in the Nutcracker. All of them have been in it for a few years. They hired people from a different company to come and be their forest king, queen, and the actual nutcracker. The rehearsals have already begun over the weekends. The first performance is December 5th, we hope you think your cool enough to come!

Twilight!

Our LMS library has just bought a bunch of new books to add to our collection. One of the most popular series we have is Twilight. There is already a new movie coming out for the first book , it comes out on November 21. You should check out this series it is like a mystery/ action/ romance all smooshed together. It leaves you wondering whats going to happen next every page you read. I've heard about more girls reading it than guys but I really think that this book is good for both guys and girls. So read the book! If you would like to know what other books we have at the library click on the LMS library blog link.

Soccer!

Soccer is starting! About fifty girls are trying out for the teams: C team, Jr. Varsity, and Varsity. We tried to get some guys out there on the field but they weren't allowed. The coaches this year are coach Shanholtzer (varsity) coach Miller (jr. varsity) and coach Christina (C team). They're supposed to find out what team their on Thursday or Friday. Hopefully no one will get cut from the team, but there are only so many seats on the bus.

There will be ten games, five home and five away. We play Kings twice, Lakewood three times, Sultan three times, and granite twice. Practice started on November 3rd. Good luck lady cougs!!!

Adventure Ed.

Guess what!!! Adventure Ed. has returned and their all in one piece! It's a miracle! There have been reported sighting from some of the students that there were as Kareena says " Scary bears!" and some fighting raccoons right outside Chase's and Sean's tent. Some of the raccoons acctually tried to take Chase's backpack and took his camera. At one point they all had to wade up to their thighs in water because the tide was so high. They did not enjoy that part of the trip because the water was freezing.

We all think Mr. S is relieved to be back from the rainy wilderness, his exact words when we asked him were " Well, ya it's not raining in here." When we told him about the bears and raccoons the other group saw he said " Ya we were going the opposite way so we saw them first, but for a shorter period of time."



Now we're all happy they have returned from the coast, but I'm sure they're all ready to set off on their next adventure. Until then though their stuck here.

New Sports Coming Up!!!

We're all sad that volleyball, football and X-country are ending... but guess what there are still more. We can all be excited about LMS girls soccer and boys basketball! Hopefully there will be as BIG a turn out as last year for soccer. It's a good thing they're moving soccer to November so it wont be so cold.

Last year the boys basketball team had a good turnout hopefully it will be the same this year. Last year they won the majority of their games, Jr. varsity won and tied all their games and Varsity won half their games.
