The Foreigner
By: Emma O'Leary
On November 20, 21, and 22, the Drama Department put on performances of The Foreigner by Larry Shue. The play is about a man named Charlie who is from the UK who goes to Georgia to visit with his friend Froggy LeSeur. However, Charlie is very shy, and he doesn’t want to talk to anyone.

Get Back Day!
By William Cagle
A
small, carpeted room, packed full of sweaty bodies of every age imaginable; a
whirring, all-seeing eye peering down from above; a collection of people you
once thought you’d never see again sitting on the floor and bellowing such
nonsense as”Wahhhhhh” and “Ooga ooga”….

may all sound like the description of some cult-like ritual taking place in
smoke-filled chamber far below the earth, but in fact I’m describing an annual ritual that occurs right within the
walls of our school: Get-Back Day.
Every
year, on the day before Thanksgiving, we show how thankful we are by gathering
together friends old and new, remembering those we’ve lost, and…singing about car horns.

Various aspects of the story support this situation. Instead of making the novel science fiction, the author kept the
