Quote

By: Natalie Basta

This week’s senior of the week is Mason Pullis! Mason has been a participant in wres-

tling and golf for many years. He is also very artistic. His plans for after high school is to go up

and chill in Alexandria.

I am best known for… “Ho Ho”ing.

One of my favorite high school memories was… Lights out on Mr. Stotesbery.

Being a senior finally makes me feel… Like I want to get out of here.

I will miss… Some of my friends and the memories we made.

I won’t miss… Some of the people who have given me a hard time throughout my underclass years.

Advice for underclassmen… Don’t worry about what people are doing and never let anything get in your way.

Furious 7 By: Jacey Douglas

Furious 7 came out April 3 of last week. It seems

like everyone has been going to

it! It will more than likely be the

last of the Fast and Furious se-

ries since Paul Walker passed

away during the filming of this

one. It is rated PG-13 so if

you're not 13, bring a parent!

The movie is about

Deckard Shaw seeking revenge

against Dominic and his family

for the death of his brother. The

movie has a lot of action so it

will definitely keep you on your

feet!

It is 140 minutes long, so pee first!! It has the usu-

al cast too, so no major changes to make us big fans freak

out. If you are a car person, you have more than likely

seen all the movies. If you haven't, you should have a

movie day to catch up on them , then go to theaters and

see Furious 7! If you're not a car person, prepare to be

one! The cars in these movies are amazing. It’s in thea-

ters just about everywhere now.
