Editorial: Making America Great Again

By -
As the 2016, presidential race heats up, it is increasingly clear that Donald Trump, the biggest developer of New York, is the obvious choice for the oval office. After building such a successful empire in the business world, it is no wonder that so many well informed Americans are cheering his name as he shuts down his competition with astute and logical constructive criticisms. Donald Trump’s impeccable public speaking and new innovative ideas will ensure his inauguration as president of the United States.
Donald Trump is running for President;
we're not sure he'll be good at it

It is hard to argue with Trump’s out of the box thinking when it comes to tackling obstacles; with his confident attitude, there is no question whether he can accomplish his lofty dreams. His plan to build a wall on the Mexican border is fool proof. It completely cuts off the undesirable rapists and drug lords from our fair and beautiful nation, and with Trump as our leader, we will not even have to pay the estimated $5.1 billion for the wall. Trump is such a good negotiator he will show Mexico why it is in their best interest to pay for the entire multi-billion dollar project. It truly is a brilliant plan. Of course, Trump will build this wall after we spend billions deporting the 11.3 million illegals back to Mexico. Then we will spend billions more on the tripled security, Trump’s E-Verify system, visa-tracking system, and his mandatory detention plan. How could this plan possibly fail?

Trump has the confidence and strength of a tiger. He will not stand to let his rivals walk all over him. This is exactly the kind of president we need, a president who has the strength to insult everyone who opposes him. We do not see this kind of confidence often enough. We as a nation should take hold of this opportunity while we have the chance.

Donald Trump’s willpower will be most advantageous in foreign affairs. As an international businessman he knows how to handle peoples of foreign cultures such as China. He loves China. More importantly are his plans for ISIS. He will put boots on the ground and take their oil fields -- effectively cutting off their funds. This may cause distrust from the Middle Eastern countries that already hate America and will no doubt use the occupation for propaganda in order further cause disdain for us, but in the end, Trump knows what he is doing.

It is obvious. There is no better choice for the White House. Donald Trump is the bucket of cold water to a sleeping America and we cannot wait for the splash.

Advice: How to get straight As

By -

Achieving straight As, or an unweighted GPA of 4.0, is the goal of many high school students. Getting straight As involves a lot of hard work, but it isn't impossible. Here is how I believe you can get all As. Do your homework. The number of students who do not do their homework shocks me. But doing your homework has many benefits and will help keep your grades up. Those five points you receive for a homework check matter, and when you get a 0 out of 5, it matters even more. Doing your homework also helps you learn the information, raising your test and quiz grades as well. Don't procrastinate. Procrastination is the downfall of many high school students who are capable of good grades. When you receive an assignment, do it ASAP. And when you are given the date of a test, start studying immediately instead of waiting and then cramming the night before. When you do this, you are likely to be less stressed, which increases the quality of the work you do. Don't put

Book Review Before school started, I went to Barnes & Noble to get a few books from my favorite author, S.E. (Susan Eloise) Hinton, to read as the year started. I got That was Then This is Now , Rumble Fish , (a third copy of) The Outsiders , and Tex .  I had already read The Outsiders at least nine times, I had finished That was Then This is Now , and I had just finished Rumble Fish , so I decided to pick up Tex and start reading. The author of these books writes them in the only way I can ever read books. First person point of view with a relatable narrator.  This one was told by the point of view of Texas (Tex) McCormick, a fourteen year old boy who is living with his brother Mason because they’re mom died when Tex was little and their dad walked out on them a few months back.Texas (Left) and Mason (Right) McCormick Texas believes that Pop (their dad) will be back soon, but Mason knows otherwise…or at least he thinks he does. Tex has a few close friends and is r

A Harmonious Evening to Remember: The Lampeter-Strasburg District Chorus Concert

On March 14th, 2024, Lampeter-Strasburg High School hosted the District Chorus Concert. Students from 4th to 12th grade performed captivating songs, and the auditorium was packed full of friends and family members who came to watch the performance.  Preparation for the concert was a long process, but a much needed one. No one knew how to sing the songs in the beginning, but after several rehearsals and time to fix the small details, they got to the level they performed at on the 14th.  The evening started off with the youngest singers of the night: the 4th and 5th graders. Their performance was followed by the Martin Meylin Madrigal singers and chorus, followed by the High School Madrigals and chorus. To end the evening, all groups joined on stage to perform “Ad Astra” together, a beautiful piece consisting of Latin and English lyrics. The song received a standing ovation from many members of the audience.  “I think it was a beautiful event,” stated James Appelgrijn, a junior in the Hi
