Stations of the Cross a Moving Experience

The lights dimmed.  The guitars strummed.  The singers sang.  All heads turned to the back of the gym, where Jesus was being dragged to the front to be condemned by Pontious Pilate.
The annual stations of the cross ceremony took place at Aquinas on Thursday April 1.  The assembly, always powerful, moved the students in the [...]



Is It Safe To Come Out Now?

“Man, that math test was so gay.”  Walking down the hall I hear the people behind me talking. This is the same conversation I hear at least 5 times a day. Someone should probably inform students that “gay” does not actually mean stupid or lame or difficult, and that the misuse of the term is [...]



The “Big Apple” Goes Rotten

Some may think that the cancellation was due to sheer price during this, a time of recession, but in comparison a trip outside of the school to Montreal is about half as long as the school trip and costs more than two thirds the price.



No More Dances At S.T.A.?

Last Tuesday, the St. Thomas Aquinas Student Council was given the news that there would be no more student council run dances.   I sat down with Mrs. Miller to find out the details of this decision.
Q: Why were the two student council dances canceled?
A: We didn’t sell enough tickets. With the last dance we had [...]



Student Apathy

What’s happening to the little school with the big heart?  Of course, we’re still the little school.  But in recent years, our big heart has shrunk a few sizes.
Four years ago, when I was starting grade nine, the heart of STA was alive and pumping.  The spirit rally had lots of spirit, the whole school [...]

School Under Construction

“They’re like monkeys,” one said. “I can’t believe he’d do that!” commented another. “How stupid must you be to try and rip an electrical wire out of the ceiling?” the first one pondered. “I can see one of our students trying to slide down that pile- it won’t end well,” said another, months before.



Stride and 5 - The world’s best marketing

So as I’m sure many of you have seen lately, a new genre of chewing gum has entered the market. Gum that appeals to cigarette smokers, and I’m not talking about nicotine gum. I’m talking about the Cadbury Stride and the soon follower, Wrigley’s 5. Not only are both gums moderately long lasting, but their [...]



What is Love?

 Alisha Sendas, Gr. 9.
  I’ve learned that if you have Christ-like love that is not just an emotion, but a choice, that you do kind actions for people without expecting recognition, glory or appreciation. In the scripture passage 1Corinthian 13, it says “If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do [...]
