No sCHOOL FOR AIDS PATIENTS

In 1985 little was known about AIDS and how one obtains it. One of the first cases of AIDS among children was associated with a 13-year-old boy named Ryan White. White was a he- mophiliac and was later diagnosed with AIDS. He visited doctors who told him he only had 6 months left in his Stonewall riots spark life. After months of gaining weight and returning to civil rights movement normal health, White told his mother he wanted to go to school.

boston running for their lives

On April 15, 2013, thousands of people lined up on a starting line in the heart of Boston with hopes to finish 26.2 miles. What they weren’t expecting was to be faced with a horrific amount of injuries and deaths due to a terroristic bombing. The Boston Marathon quickly turned to a scene of blood from a situation of ambition. Later on, the pictures of the suspects were realeased. Three days later, on April 18, the suspects shot a police officer working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As the police chased the bombers after the shooting, the suspects threw bombs out of their car to throw off the cops. The bombers were then identified as legal immigrant brothers from Cambridge, Massachu- setts. In a written confession, one of the brothers said, “Stop killing the crown falls in tragic our innocent people and we will stop.” This is thought to relate to accident the wars in the Middle East, where the brothers originally emigrat- ed from. Pho- to from nypost.com On August 31, 1997, Princess Diana Spencer, one of the most well-respect- ed, classy, and poised women of our time, died in a fatal car accident. Some people aruge that the car accident almost seems to be more than just a car accident. Many conspiracies surround the crash, including one of a govern- ment set-up. Supposedly, the British government felt Spencer was a threat to the throne with her multiple affairs, one with surgeon Hasnat Khan and one with billionaire, Dodi Fayed. Another conspiracy is that Spencer her- self was going to fake death to escape her paparazzi infested life. The evidence surrounding this theory is that just 6 hours before dying, Spencer told a reporter from the Daily Mail that she was going to withdraw completely from public life.

“Hey Baby,” it’s football season By Jenny Yocum

The football team walks out in unity before their game on Oct. 9 against Milton, who they beat 63 to 15. With challenging teams coming up in the schedule, Coach J.C. Keefer said, “This is when last year’s team won 6 games in a row, and we’re looking to top that this year. Even with one of our leaders out due to injury, they have been able to raise their level of play.”

A few of the band members play their intruments during the band’s performance before the start of the football game against Milton. The band is hoping to win an award from the local Mummer’s Parade that they recently per- formed in. Last year, they won best band overall for the event.
