For What It’s Worth

March 23, 2009 · written by Dan Higgins 

  • There is no tradition at SKHS quite like SKpades. It has been taking place for over fifty years and multiple generations have participated in it. It has surely evolved with the times but the message remains constant. It is a chance to poke fun at the daily hilarity that can take place here at SKHS. The hectic week before is one of my greatest high school memories and I urge all underclassmen not to skip out when they have the chance.
  • Pitchers and catchers reporting for high school baseball? Give me a break.
  • The Bachelor highlights what is really wrong with our country.
  • Does someone who wins a guitar hero tournament really consider themselves a winner?
  • With spring training, NBA & NHL seasons coming down the stretch, and the NCAA Tournament, March is without a doubt the best month to be a sports fan.
  • Some sort of senior privileges would give seniors a reason not to quit on the last quarter of school
  • But you can’t actually give kids responsibility and freedom. That would be absurd.
  • Anyone have ideas for a senior prank?
  • Anyone who thinks that the economy is going to turn around any day now has another thing coming.
  • Ms. Morrison has made being an athlete or coach at SKHS ten times easier than before she was here.
  • Congrats to Kevin Sun, on winning not one but two events at the New England Championships, the best athlete who no one talks about.
  • I am very glad the Twilight craze is over because it got quite annoying.
  • Why do people still care about Lindsey Lohan?
  • El Fuego should be an exciting new addition to downtown Wakefield.
  • The new Facebook setup is incredibly hard to use. Why change a good thing.
  • Nothing means spring is here quite like Brickley’s re-opening for the season.
  • The immense amount of pressure on the boys’ tennis thing is not something that I envy.
  • I think President Obama has more important issues to worry about than his bracket.
  • What is with the construction paper blocking the view into the teachers lounge. What is going on in there that they don’t want us to see?
  • Two thumbs up to the SK theater department production of The Wizard of Oz. A spectacular performance by all, but Alisa Schrader stole the show.

    Higgins cut the bull with the FWIW.
    The only person that should be writing these are Bill Reynolds from the Providence Journal.

    “I think President Obama has more important issues to worry about than his bracket.”

    while this is true….do u think a president should just sit and work all day everyday? You dont actualy think presidents do that right? nobody complained when bush spent a record amount of time out on his ranch not doing any work now obama spends one night on Leno showing his bracket and everyone thinks hes lazy….

    How could Alisha Schrader have stolen the show when she was the lead role?

    This is the only part of the rebellion that I tear out and burn.
