Last game they won 3-0, before that they crushed their opponent 7-0, and the game before that ended with an astounding 14-0 victory.

“We are good at working together as a team,” Junior Samantha Shun said. “How we work together and are able to move the ball up the field makes us a great team.”

Shun went on to express why she likes recreational soccer.

“It’s fun and not really too important rather than it’s another option.”

Their next game will be on Saturday, June 2, at Buffalo at Bentfield Mills. Shun has high hopes for the the game and predicts the outcome will be another victory.

Number 5: Erasing the Ink: Getting Rid of Your Tattoo

Okay, so the overall idea of this book is alright, which is why it’s at the bottom of the list. This book’s weirdness or comedy is a deeper kind of comedy. Why is a book about removing tattoos in a school library in the first place? Does this book have any funny quotes or anything? There’s a reason it’s at the bottom, okay? So, no.

Number 4: Cocaine and Crack Addiction

So, much like number five; this book isn’t known for its comedic quotes, but digging in we find some strange pictures that bump it into the 4th place. Here’s what we mean:

The pictures in this book are actually kind of disturbing and leave a creepy feeling afterwards for the viewer that make them wonder why they are reading it or maybe even why did they check the book out in the first place. Come to think of it, there are many questions I have from the picture alone, like, “how is that creepy face related to drugs in the slightest?” The actual book is a serious title about what you can do to get out of addiction.

Number 3: Dream Girls

So. this book actually has little to no narrative. It’s a picture book with a few pages at the beginning. We believed this was a stage act that then had it professionally photographed. In actuality, it’s a picture book with screengrabs from the 2006 film staring Jamie Foxx and Beyoncé. With no context here, there’s little we can figure out. But, who would check this out? Maybe that’s why it found itself in a free book pile..

Number 2: Wii and Video: Game Injuries and Fitness

Ohhh boy. This book… is golden. If you’ve ever wanted to know about injuries with the Wii console, this book is amazing. You can learn so much about Wii Bowling in here. Here’s a few things you can learn with this book:

“Exergaming and Physical Therapy”

“What Injuries are Caused with Exergaming?”

And, as an added bonus on the back, they tell you their other titles, which include Teen Fatherhood.

Number 1: What You Can Do to Avoid Aids (Magic Johnson)

Alright, this book is well deserving of the number one spot on this list. This book was written in the late ‘90s by Earvin “Magic” Johnson Jr. Some of the quotes in this book are very ‘Magic.’

“I’m hispanic. I thought only white people get HIV.”

“WRONG.” (Magic goes into immense detail.)

Isiah DuBois used to keep this book in his back pocket and referred to it as his “Pocket Bible.” You now know the bond this book can create between book and the human heart. This book currently fetches $30 used on Amazon, which is almost enough to buy you a cheap pair of Heelys.

Sadly, all good things must die out eventually, including these books. The stacks located in front of the library are packed away in boxes, but will forever remain in our hearts. While what we once loved is no longer here with us, we can now look back at the good ol’ times and maybe even smile. These books are being donated once they find somewhere that will accept these rejects.

English teacher Ryan McCallum said that this is an intriguing problem that only creates a larger barricade between students and teachers. As vaping technology makes the practice harder to detect, teachers and administrators have increased efforts to recognize and eliminate the problem. 

Although some students are more brazen with their habits, the majority of vaping occurs in the bathrooms.

“Because it’s where there’s no cameras,” one student said about his trips to the bathroom. “I can’t go longer than three hours without a buzz.” 

“I go during Second Block because that’s when all the boys go,” another student added.

The students leave during classes saying it’s either for a quick drink or a bathroom break; however, this makes the teachers unhappy. The kids miss the lessons and fall behind in class.

Some students consider this a hobby and are willing to spend a lot of money toward this activity. This leads to more problems that the school battles with, like trading and buying between peers.

“I spend too much on it,” one student admitted. Another said they “spend maybe $20 a month.” Some students spend more money to do this than others.

It seems that the untalkable problem arising in bathrooms and hallways is continuing to grow. With its current popularity, teachers are beginning to crack down on this problem. With increased patrols and a faculty meeting showing teachers what to look for and how devices have changed over the last few years, administration and staff are becoming more proactive and less prone to this situation in general.
