An editorial laments the Sterling Township high school orchestra folding due to low attendance and lack of support from eligible students.

The piece urges readers to reflect on personal contribution before criticizing extracurricular programs.
Raul Jose Escutia, a freshman from Fray Bernandino de Sahagun in Mexico City, joins Sterling High under Miss Pignatelli and Miss Johnson. He will study English, algebra, and Spanish while living with his aunt to complete his U.S. high school education.

A collection of light anecdotes and classroom quips shows misunderstandings and quick retorts. A boy jokes about lending his handkerchief to strangers while a teacher mocks incorrect grammar and a student delivers a playful pun about milk with a kick.
A collage of student quips reflects teen humor and daily school life. Phrases include defiant refusals to wear glasses, gum chewing during class, skipping after noon, and witty comebacks about schedules and English deadlines.
A humorous column suggests assembling a dream boyfriend from a list of classmates. It mixes physical traits from several named individuals with a playful nod to personality, humor, wardrobe, eyes, and teeth as the key elements of an ideal man.
