Being a news editor is not all fun and games. It’s a lot of hard Well, quite some time has gone by since I was a young, naive work – more work than I thought it would be. As part of the sophomore frolicking around the activity fair, desperately signing up editing staff, I had to make sure articles were written and sent for every club I could find. Little did I know at the time, I would end up in on time, that ideas for the next issue were on hand, and that participating in only a handful of these clubs and having a significant copies of the paper were distributed to the English classrooms. role in just a few.

Summertime Concerts To the rising seniors, don’t wish your high school tenure away. By: Stephanie Pinel Before you know it, your year will have slipped away. As the yearbooks Summer is the time to expand your horizons and dare to do come out and the Vitamin C song rolls in, your high school experience something different -- something that will make you look back and will flash before your eyes – from the familiar faces, football games, realize how much you have grown with every barbecue and firework school dances, classes, to the horrific “T,” petty drama, and countless that passes. When I think about summer, I imagine something that times you got turned down from entering the library. And you may brings many people together: concerts.

Beyonce and Drake are coming to the Philly area on June 5th (Queen Brittany Levy, Features Editor B) and August 23 (Drake), but I would save some money for these concerts because tickets are ranging from $100-$400. Also, Dave THE ABINGTONIAN Matthews Band, B.O.B, Keith Urban, X Ambassadors, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, Adele, and many more are making their ways near us this summer. To cap it all off, Made IS LOOKING FOR A CARTOONIST In America will end many our summers. If you want to head over to Made in America, I would definitely pre-order your tickets now. FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR! Concerts bring many of us together, but remember to always keep yourself safe. Plan these events with pals or even make one a date. Concerts should be full of live music that creates memories you SEE MR. SAYLOR OR MR. QUIGLEY want to share with those you love. I adore hearing the stories from my mother about her first concert, which was Boy George, and simply the excitement that live music brings to all of us.

Most of the way there, I listened to music in my headphones, Such inaccurately placed descriptive phrases—“dangling” modifiers, trying to block out the noises around me.

Unfortunately, the tour hostess did not have Now most of the time, writers manage to avoid these blatant a microphone, making it difficult to hear the numerous facts that she blunders.

Here’s what I noticed: subtler, like this: “By training long and hard in the Batcave, it was For one thing, the campus is absolutely gorgeous.

It is a gardener’s paradise, something in which someone phrase, though speaking about Bruce Wayne, could also be applied to with a green thumb would highly enjoy. Additionally, the school has the subject of the next clause, “it.” a great student-faculty ratio and erudite professors. Along with a great education comes the prestige one acquires by graduating from In general, the English language likes to make descriptive phrases such a rigorous school. Among the information that the tour guide like “training long and hard” and “with two heads” apply to the subject presented, there were some details that were not as positive. For of the connected clause: “By training long and hard, Bruce Wayne was example, no student is able to double-major.

Other academic facts follow. There are Bruce. some required courses, such as English or social studies. That being So is this a problem? Is there some grammatical flaw in using said, there is wiggle room. There are many subject courses that earn dangling modifiers? No, many modern linguists would say. It is not credit towards these requirements. A disadvantage in my eyes, was that wrong to use one of these phrases to describe a noun other than there was no option to minor in a course. However, the school also the subject of the sentence.
