Beginning with subfreshman year, Mr. Royer made us feel right at home with his welcoming speech. Freshman year, he aided us by substituting for Mrs. Nelson and by giving us the "Warren Royer Theory/' Sophomore and junior years went smoothly due to the leadership and persuasive ability of Mr. Royer, who managed to somehow — from somewhere — procure funds for our school. Finally, our senior year, we would like to give something back to Mr. Royer — our sincere thanks for all his help. _ r i ^** *g ^ rs i f/ * •- ,i'f * <;- - - - _ r * -J mi f 9 B « * ^H| IvEv X' ' ' WW. » ' r " 1 ^ *& ,' i | / a& i pap 9H 1 . ] v 'if ^ Whatcha looking at?'

Junior Varsity Chess The Chess club, led by William Jockusch (president), Mark Elder (secretary/treasurer), and Chris Butler (sponsor) was a top notch team. In nine league meets, the junior var- sity and varsity members matched their skills against the skills of other league members. Also, they par- ticipated in two invitationals — one in Aurora (which Uni won) and the other in Ot- towa (in which both A and AA teams competed).

Miraculously, the staff managed to put together the yearbook without killing each other . yet . and even managed to have fun (and pizza) every once in a while. Handbook The Handbook committee acquainted students with both the activities available to them as well as the school's rules and regulations. To familiarize them with Uni High, faculty and parents were also provided with handbooks. 18 Gargoyle Gargoyle, the school newspaper, was edited by Rick Burkhardt and Nina Paley. It was published once a month and featured articles about sports, events, and general Uni gossip. Frau Henry sponsored these budding journalists.

  • 14. Swan Song
    LISA K. PERDIGAO 14. SWAN SONG The Art of Letting Go in Glee In its five seasons, the storylines of Glee celebrate triumph over adversity. Characters combat what they perceive to be their limitations, discovering their voices and senses of self in New Directions. Tina Cohen-Chang overcomes her shyness, Kurt Hummel embraces his individuality and sexuality, Finn Hudson discovers that his talents extend beyond the football field, Rachel Berry finds commonality with a group instead of remaining a solo artist, Mike Chang is finally allowed to sing, and Artie Abrams is able to transcend his physical disabilities through his performances.1 But perhaps where Glee most explicitly represents the theme of triumph over adversity is in the series’ evasion of death. The threat of death appears in the series, oftentimes in the form of the all too real threats present in a high school setting: car accidents (texting while driving), school shootings, bullying, and suicide. As Artie is able to escape his wheelchair to dance in an elaborate sequence, if only in a dream, the characters are able to avoid the reality of death and part of the adolescent experience and maturation into adulthood. As Trites (2000) states, “For many adolescents, trying to understand death is as much of a rite of passage as experiencing sexuality is” (p. 117). However, Glee is forced to alter its plot in season five. The season begins with a real-life crisis for the series; actor Cory Monteith’s death is a devastating loss for the actors, writers, and producers as well as the series itself.

    Yellow Skin, White Masks Mina Yang Abstract: Ethnic studies scholars have long bemoaned the near absence of Asians on the big and small screens and popular music charts in the United States, rendering them as outsiders vis-à-vis the American public sphere. In the last few years, however, Asians have sprung up on shows like “Glee” and “America’s Best Dance Crew” in disproportionately large numbers, challenging entrenched stereotypes and creating new audiovisual associations with Asianness. This essay considers how emerging Asian American hip- Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/daed/article-pdf/142/4/24/1831582/daed_a_00232.pdf by guest on 29 September 2021 hop dancers and musicians negotiate their self-representation in different contexts and what their strate- gies reveal about the postmillennial Asian youth’s relationship to American and transpaci½c culture and the outer limits of American music. Music, as purveyed by the mgm Grand Holly- wood Theater and Monte Carlo Resort & Casino in the heart of Las Vegas–the entertainment mecca of the United States–is supposedly the very inspi- ration for life itself.

The show featured synchronized dancing, comic miming, athletic feats, extravagant lighting effects, and glittery costumes, held together by a thumping soundtrack made up of familiar tunes, old and new.

  • Glee’ Contributed by Benjy Maor Source: by Jay Michaelson from the Jewish Daily Forward
    CHILDREN The Four ‘Sons’ as Characters From ‘Glee’ Contributed by Benjy Maor Source: By Jay Michaelson from the Jewish Daily Forward As it happens, the four Jewish characters in McKinley High School’s glee club map quite neatly onto the four children of the Passover Seder, and the way each of them performs his or her Jewishness shines a different light on American Jewish identity, and on the themes of the Passover holiday. Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) is the “Wise Child” — to a fault. She endlessly touts her Jewishness in one way or another, from Barbra Streisand songs to protests at Christmastime. She is also an irritating control freak, just like the unctuous Wise Child, who asks annoying, detailed questions about the statutes, laws and ordinances that God has commanded. The Haggadah obviously wants us to praise this kid, but most years I just want to slap him. Just like Rachel, he’s a know-it-all and a drama queen. “Look at me!” the Wise Child brags, just as Rachel does. Look how smart and good I am! Like Rachel in her goody-two-shoes sweaters, the Wise Child is intolerable. Rachel is a quintessential Jewish stereotype — smart, Semitic-looking, Magen-David-wearing — and yet she performs her Jewishness in the same way she performs her many solos on the show: in your face, turned up to 11. The Wise Child is the same way. Noah “Puck” Puckerman (Mark Salling) is the “Wicked Child.” His is the most original of the Jewishnesses on “Glee,” contradicting every stereotype that Rachel serves to uphold.

    F ASHION LIFESTYLE ART ENTERTAINMENT NOVEMBER 2010 FREE Shop Til You Drop in Bangkok Cirque du Soleil Brings Alegría to Houston Special Holiday Fragrance Selection Asian Fusion is on Your TV Screen yellowmags.com FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF Well, I guess you can see by the cover that we are rather Gleeful about this month’s issue. Harry Shum, Jr. is not only gaining exposure on the set of the super-popular series Glee, but he also exposed himself (well, his abs) for you, our readers. We all know Harry (maybe without really knowing who it was) from those iPod dancing silhouette commercials a while back; you saw him in the Step movies; you can see him every Tuesday on Fox in Glee; what you don’t see is what a genuinely nice guy this entertainer is and we hope that our interview captured that essence. We all know that Houston is home to a vibrant and creative arts community. So we weren’t surprised to discover an organization that helps recent music school graduates market their careers. Early this month, The Impulse Artist Series will host performances of several up and coming musicians in different intimate venues around the city. This month, we focus on Phyllis Chen, a musician from New York who will be performing pieces on toy pianos. She is a classically trained pianist who discovered that toy pianos liberate her creativity and unleash waves of musical energy that were not achievable with concert pianos. She will be playing these during her performance, as well. The circus is coming, the circus is coming! Or at least the divinely creative “circus” that is Cirque du Soleil, who is bringing Alegría to the Toyota Center.
