    The Patriot Issue 1 Washington Township High School, Sewell, NJ October 2008 Something to cheer about Contract issues in past, WTHS returns to normal Katie Mount ‘09 With the turbulent, 2007-8 school year behind, the students and staff of Washington Township High School are looking forward to what they hope will be a smoother one. “The 2008 school year began very smoothly,” WTHS Principal Rosemarie Farrow said. “... our students, expecially the seniors, seemed very excited to be off and running.” Last year, WTHS was negatively affected by the teacher negotiation dilemma. When the Board of Education and the Teahcer’s Association reached a stalemate, the Washington Township Education Association (WTEA) decided that the members would not volunteer for school events. Their attempt was to draw attention to the negotiation problem, but in doing so, many students were affected. Many activities were cancelled, and many students were disappointed. Now, with the contract issue solved, many staff Gina Parker ‘09/The Patriot members are again stepping forward to volunteer.

  • {PDF EPUB} Which One Am I Multiple Personalities and Deep Southern Secrets by Thomas S
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Which One Am I Multiple Personalities and Deep Southern Secrets by Thomas S. Smith How Would Southerners Describe the South to Outsiders? • Among their descriptions, which aspects of the South would they articulate? • Would native Southerners, converted Southerners, and non-Southerners (who live in the region) describe the South in different ways? • Would there be any differences between White Southerners and Black Southerners, males and females, older and younger citizens, educated and not-so-educated individuals, rich people and those less-well-off, born-again Christians and non-born-again respondents, Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives? Residents of the American South are used to seeing their home region depicted in stereotyped derision. Some Southerners try to deal with such disparagement with various strategies, such as polite silence or impassioned rhetoric about their "New South" homeland. Often, "rebels" delight in such criticism; and they give as well as take in outrageous debate. But how would most Southerners respond if they had an opportunity, in a reasonable conversation, to describe the South to outsiders? Some of my political science colleagues recently reported the results of such hypothetical conversations at the Citadel Symposium on Southern Politics in Charleston, SC. Scott H. Huffmon and Allie Briggs (both of Winthrop University) and Christopher N. Lawrence (Middle George State College) conducted a study among South Carolinians. In April, 2013, as part of the Winthrop Poll series, interviewers asked for responses to the following probe: "Imagine that you had to describe the South to someone who had never been to a Southern state in America in just two words or two very short phrases." The co-authors then coded the responses for substantive analysis.

  • Numb3rs (Theme)
    Delaware Winter Invitational, 2010 Numb3rs packet by Nick Lacock and Mark Pellegrini Tossups 1) Warning: year and team required. Throughout the season, this team wore a decal with the number 91 in memory of defensive end Marquise Hill. This team's quarterback openly admitted that they were trying to "kill" and "blow out" their opponents. In December, Mercury Morris went onto Sportscenter to perform a "diss" rap aimed at this team. In September, the Jets accused them of videotaping defensive signals, touching off the Spygate scandal. Wes Welker had 1,175 yards receiving while Randy Moss caught 23 of Tom Brady's 50 touchdown passes. For ten points, name the only NFL team to ever finish a regular season 16-0. ANSWER: 2007 New England Patriots 2) In this film, Whitey Duvall saves the protagonist from jail by convincing the judge to sentence him to community service coaching basketball, while Rob Schneider makes a minor appearance as the voice of a Mr. Chang, a waiter. The title of this movie comes from the fact that, throughout the course of this movie, several characters celebrate Hanukkah. Davey antagonizes fraternal twin midgets Whitey and Elanor in, for ten points, what animated film starring Adam Sandler? ANSWER: Eight Crazy Nights 3) The name's the same. David McCullough released a book by this name in 2005. That book revolves around the same events as an Avalon Hill wargame of this name, in which you can invade Canada. Sherman Edwards composed the music for the musical of this name, which was later turned into a film of the same name starring William Daniels and Howard Da Silva.
