A month ago, if someone told me to wear the same things to school for a week, I would have called them crazy. For absolutely no reason at all, I wouldn’t let myself wear any piece of clothing that I had worn the week before. I thought it was a necessity to buy a new outfit for every upcoming event. For...

It’s finally fall here, and after an abnormally hot September, the forecast calls for a frigid October and November in stark contrast. When you wake up and it’s 40 degrees outside, what girl has the energy to get up and squeeze into a skirt every day? When there’s frost on the window, it’s only...

With the colder months rolling around we’re all going to be spending more time cozying up on the couch, probably on our phones, let’s be honest; we’re all addicted.

As us seniors wrap up our high school careers and begin planning for the “real world,” as every lecturing parent likes to call it, it’s important to take a pause in our busy lives and be thankful for friends, family, and the memories we have been lucky enough to make with them.

The holiday season is officially upon us, and with Thanksgiving coming up shortly there is plenty of excitement in the air.

As spirit week, pep rally, and fall sports come to an end, students don’t seem to be affected by the nostalgia that is usually present at the close of spirited festivities mind too much. A noticeable wave of students lacking commitment to Hereford has struck the zone. Do we just not have the same spirit...

I don’t know if you experience this, but every time I take a subject like AP Bio or AP Chem that absolutely consume your life, I have very vivid dreams of that subject. I remember when I took AP Chem, a nightmare consisted of screwing up the endpoint of a titration or having the acid-base calculations...

In light of the national controversy over a sixty second video, fingers are being pointed left and right at who is in the right versus the wrong. People are roasting marshmallows over their charred Nikes because they’re ‘real Americans,’ in a desperate scramble to “believe in something, even...

As most of the community knows, we were fortunate enough to be able to receive a new turf this past summer. The construction took multiple weeks, taking up most of summer, but it was in use for the fall sport tryouts in early August. Having this new faculty, the coaches have been eager to practice...

The final National Football League (NFL) preseason is typically a glorified practice and a relaxed atmosphere. The starters of the team sit on the side and enjoy watching their back-ups play.

With a new school year comes new school rules. Shocker, right? No. But this year students were introduced to the first new rule as soon as they entered the building on Sept. 4. Instead of filing in the high school from any door, students were led into the auditorium or cafeteria if they arrived at the...

Senior year, a year so frequently misunderstood as the year to disregard education, relinquish all academic responsibility, and to relax before college hits you in the face like a semi-truck, is precisely the time to get a jump on college preparation. As high school draws to a close, it’s easy to...
