Mr. Broadway is named John Jay Man

On April 28, the John Jay Chapter of the National Honor Society hosted the much awaited annual John Jay Man. The tickets sold out the day of the show, and previous John Jay Men from years before even came to watch and, in one case, perform.

The show began with a hilarious introduction from the show’s hosts: Matt T. and Alex M. Then, it was the opening dance. Involving twerking, classic dance moves, and specific dances catered towards each John Jay man, the show was off to a great start. After that, it was time for each John Jay Man to show his personality and convince the judges that he should win. Each John Jay Man sauntered across the stage, first in his character wear, and then in formal wear, escorted by other members of NHS. This miniature fashion show was then followed by the sketches, which were designed to allow the John Jay Men to portray their personalities in more depth. Acts ranged from the education of the crowd on types of girls and their dateability to dancing and singing.

Eventually, after intermission, the John Jay Men were narrowed down to five: Mr. Lady’s Man, Mr. Broadway, Mr. Nice Guy, Mr. Athletic, and Mr. Patriot. They then were asked to argue to the crowd as to why the crowd should date them. Their ranks were then reduced even more until only the final three were left: Mr. Nice Guy, Mr. Athletic, and Mr. Broadway. After going through another round of improv question answering, the winner was declared: Mr. Broadway.

All proceeds from the show went to a charity of the club’s choice.

“So… what are we?”

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 This new generation views chivalry as outdated, and when a guy does something kind for a lady, the guy expects something in return.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

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.

John Jay Believers

If you ask people what their least favorite day is in the week, they will probably say it is Monday. Monday is by far the most brutal day of the week. Once school is over, all you want to do is sit down, relax, grab a bite to eat and do something to brighten up your day. If this is you, check out John Jay’s newest club: John Jay Believers. JJB is a Christian-based club at John Jay High School that helps strengthen relationships and their faith in God. It meets after school on Mondays from 2pm until around 3pm. JJB is open to all students and faculty so it is a great way to get to know each other better and to see a different side of one another. “JJB is a place where Christians can come share their faith and live life with others,” Leah Rodriguez, a member of JJB, said. “From snacks to games to inspirational messages—it’s a lot of fun and I look forward to it every week.” JJB helps prepare students to take on each school day by meeting every morning before first period to pray.
