Prom Fashion Show

By


Flashing smiles and stunning styles—each model flaunted his or her look in the spotlight. The performances and the people were spectacular. Jeana Alfano kicked off the show with a grand opening singing the Star-Spangled Banner. We got to see the teachers’ classy side as they walked the runway. Each model had his or her own signature pose working with their respective looks.

We can't forget the singers, such as Rob Daniels and The Cover. The dancers were so insync, it was divine and took months to prepare. And an eight-year-old played the harp beautifully.

Rob Daniels, the 23 year old country singer, had released his album in January called "Near Her." He learned guitar at the age of 7, then started singing at the age of 19, which continued into a career. The Cover,which won 3rd place in the talent show, came back for an encore for the prom fashion show. A group of three lovely seniors—a guitarist, pianist, and singer—rocked the stage in their gold outfits.

Everyone was amazing, so hyped on energy, you just walked in and knew it would be a great night. We wish all the seniors luck at college and hope to see the rest of you next year at the fashion show.

“So… what are we?”

By
Nobody goes on dates anymore. When’s the last time a gentleman came to your doorstep to meet your parents before taking you to a nice restaurant for dinner? When has society changed the meaning of “date” to “I’ll text you when I pull up and we can hangout?” The sad reality is that young ladies have accepted the bare minimum, and when a guy treats us respectfully like they should, we swoon. Opening a car door for a woman? Pulling out a chair for her? Bringing flowers as a token of affection to a date? Never experienced that, and any guy that did that for me would win my heart immediately. This new generation views chivalry as outdated, and when a guy does something kind for a lady, the guy expects something in return. Ultimately, men just want sex. Yes, this is a harsh generalization, but we’re growing up in a hookup culture; it’s all about treating a woman well to get in her pants, not out of the kindness of your heart. What bothers me most is, why would you take a beautiful young lad...

History Honors Society Wrapping Party

By
Hot chocolate, pretzels, marshmallows, wrapping paper and boxes towered feet high; that’s what you would have seen in the cafeteria during the History Honors Society wrapping party. After school, the café was filled with teens getting their volunteering hours while having fun and helping the community. Hundreds of gifts were being wrapped for the children at the Astor Home. Many of the children residing there were not fortunate enough to get gifts from parents or family. The wrapping party exists as a fun activity that helps provide for those who do not have the same as others. If only you could see their faces when they opened the gifts donated by the John Jay Student Body and teachers. Gifts ranged from giant teddy bears to Pokémon cards and comfy clothes, each specially wrapped by students for a great cause. It was really amazing to see how the John Jay community came together to make this happen. I cannot wait until next year to do it again! By Chelsea Co.

A Juul not a Jewel

By
Benzoic acid, nicotine, glycerol, propylene, plus added ‘flavors’ for effect. Sometimes extra ‘flavors’ are added, such as marijuana or just some more nicotine for an extra buzz. These are some of the ingredients that can be found in a Juul pod from JUUL Labs. There are many alternatives to smoking in the world. One of these alternatives being the Juul, which is distributed by JUUL Labs. According to JUUL Labs, “JUUL is for adult smokers seeking a satisfying alternative to cigarettes”. Juuls are temperature controlling e-cigs that the user “plugs in” a pod for use. These pods are simply called Juul pods and contain a long list of chemical ingredients some of which are previously stated. JUUL Labs and PAX Labs are two of the major manufacturing companies for this type of item. Both have similar types of items aimed for adult smokers, but their devices can easily fall into the hands of teens and even children. You must be eighteen to purchase tobacco products in the United States...
