Connie Stone still unknown

By

The most repeated two words on campus these past two weeks have been “Connie Stone” (or, more recently, “Connie Stoned”). There have been many rumors circulating about who is the face behind this pseudonym, most prominently that it is one of our administrators. As it turns out, however, this rumor doesn’t hold much water. It appears that it is merely an incredible coincidence that Connie Stone arose in our lives the same time as “a concerned parent” reported partying students to the VHS administration.

Unruly ping pong crowds lead to staff complaints

It is nearly impossible to ignore the ping pong phenomenon that has taken over our school.  Every day matches are played at break and lunch between freshmen, juniors, seniors, sophomores, and even staff members, which lead up to the playoff games in the spring.  Roars emanate from the crowds huddled around the two tables at moments of excitement, brilliance, shock, and upset.  Although these crowds are supporting their peers, they have become somewhat of a problem. They block students’ lockers and the entrance to the staff room, especially during games of high attendance.
