Why Do We Always Hear the Same Songs Around the Holidays? BY FINNEGAN JOHNSON
You may have noticed every year around this time, as you're walking through a store, flipping through the radio, or at a holiday party, that the songs playing are the same you’ve heard in years prior. The school held its Winter Concert this month on the 14th, among the songs played are Silver Bells, Baby, It’s Cold Outside, and Jingle Bell Rock, all songs long familiar to the public (there were other, less familiar tunes performed however). It’s rare that there are any notable changes to the Christmas song canon; we hear the same songs every year, to some people’s chagrin and to other’s delight - Why is this?
Literature Is My Utopia BY Lily Chace
I know that as I grow older reading will always be a part of my life. My story, which I continue to write and revise, is only just beginning. I am thankful for the guidance and friendship of books and the people around me who love them too!
The Healthy Benefits of Music that is Surely “Pop” for the Soul! BY Samuel Hiers
Music is, indeed, one of the most highly developed art forms in culture. Yet we often go about listening to music so much that we take for granted what it is doing for our greater good, something better than just enjoying it. That is, music has a variety of different impacts on our physical and mental health, which I think is worthwhile to share with the world. So sit back and relax, plug in your earbuds, find a soothing track, and enjoy a gift from me to you - learn what roles music can “play” in you?

Top 12 Films to Watch during Quarantine By TIARA ROCHON
During our time in quarantine, many are looking for new movies to watch to occupy our time. I have compiled a list of films (in no particular order) from late 2019 into early 2020, as well as some films that have been delayed due to COVID-19 for your consideration. Check them out!
Quarantunes By Lawrence Cabbabe
For many people, myself included, music helps them throughout their day whether it be through schoolwork, a bike ride, a drive, and so much more. But since the same songs are played so often on the radio, you listen to the same songs you like so much that you begin to hate them. That is why I tried to make a Spotify playlist that may help introduce you to some new songs, old songs, songs you’ve heard before, and some you may even add to your own playlists.
Seven Books to Read While Stuck at Home By Adrian Lunardelli
We all find ourselves in the same place in these trying times. Stuck at home. Many have gone through complete renovations of their house, cleaned their rooms, completed yard work, and gone to actual work. But what about when we complete it all? As we near the conclusion of the second month of quarantine we are left with a profound gap, an absence. As we complete tasks that kept us busy, how can we stay occupied? We should take this opportunity and explore the world of books as a means of escape and as a way to occupy the time.
A Preview of CHS Drama’s The Diary of Anne Frank BY SARAH THERESE CHAUDHRY
"Rehearsals are going pretty well. It's moving a lot faster than I expected," says Erin Gagnon, who will play Anne Frank. "We're done with blocking, so we're focused on working with our lines right now and I already have a lot memorized. We're also getting our props together. It's a lot but it's not too much to handle. Everyone gets along really well and our stage chemistry is good."

Exploring the Magical World of Encanto: A Critical Analysis By Josephina Johnson
What is it that makes Encanto enjoyable to a vast age range? Is there something in the movie that is truly deep and meaningful, so that it can touch all age groups, and perhaps, eventually, touch future generations if Encanto becomes a classic? Or is it a commercial and consumeristic aspect of marketing and catchy songs?
