This new section in the Record will deal with varieties of things that can only be found at the Saint Louis Priory School, written whenever I feel like it. Our first topic is an e-mail: however, this is no ordinary e-mail. Sent by Junior Robert Emmet McAuliffe III to his teacher, Dr. Kil lcullen, this document is a plea for an extension on a Social Morality paper which he apparently did not do.It is pure genius:

“Dear Dr. Kill:I would like to have started this electronic message by informing you that I have successfully completed my Theology paper assigned for your class. However, that is sadly not the case. To tell you the truth, I have been rather sick as of late, starting Wednesday evening. Yesterday, perchance you noticed my absence from school. That was due to a high fever and sore throat. I spent 14

hours of the day yesterday sleeping off my illness (and I can assure you that was not out of sleep-deprivation, as I have had abnormal amounts of sleep on the days preceding my illness). That particular Wednesday evening and Thursday were unserendipitously the days I was planning on using to inscribe my incredibly dazzling treatise on Moral Theology in Relation to Voting. As most of those days were spent being sick, that obviously was not possible. Yet even more unserendipitously, I was also assigned a 7-page Computer Science paper, a 5-page English paper, and a French oral examination for the same day. Added to that was the make-up test for AP Government scheduled for Thursday. If you've been keeping count, that's a total of 3 papers, counting yours, and two tests in one day. Now, I have been working very diligently on completing the majority of these objectives. Sadly, it appears I will not have time to finish your Moral Theology assignment by its assigned due date. Do not gleam from this the impression that I simply gave your class the "short end

of the straw", if you will, no, in fact, quite the opposite: I was planning on writing my most elegant, stunning paper af ter wri t ing a l l of my boring, uninspired papers. Of course, that stunning paper would have been for my most favorite of classes, yours of course, and had I written that paper before the others, it would no doubt have been exponentially less monumental. But now, the realization of time has dawned on me, and it appears I will not be able to complete my Moral Treatise, much to my chagrin. So, please accept my humble apology and consider my pertinent suggestion: could you find it in your heart of hearts to allow your student to e-mail you his paper a day past the due date? It would be appreciated like no other act of kindness has ever been before. In fact, your generosity would raise you to the level of sainthood. Just think of it now: Saint Bernard! I like the ring.

Your Humble Student,Robert Emmett McAuliffe III

Grinds My Gears

Zach Weiss, ’11Editorial Writer

completely uninterested in my orange clothes. They simply don’t glow properly under ultraviolet light, and they’re simply too hot for infrared. I get that. I assume, however, that colorblindness in humans does not imply the ability to see into other light spectra. There is no excuse to bash on a color like that. Even if I had worn a socially unacceptable color, it would still look good. I’m Mr. Jacob “the Crossbow” Martin, and I look fantastic in whatever I wear. I once wore Hammer’s pants and Right Said Fred’s shirt and I got seven women’s phone numbers in that outfit. True, the women weren’t exactly normal, but they were the only ones courageous enough to approach me. I could tell from the odd looks and stares I was getting at the time that everyone else was simply too intimidated by my natural charm and vigor to speak to or continue looking at me. That’s totally fine, not everyone is perfect, and it’s only natural for people to fear me at first, then grow to respect me, and then resume fearing me, but with respect. I’m fairly certain I just went on a bit of a tangent there, so let me return to what’s important here: look at the upper left corner of this article (or wherever they’ve put my picture this time) and tell me it’s

Gentlemen, where shall I begin this week? It’s been fantastic, really. There’s almost nothing to loathe. Almost. That will come later. As many of you know, loyal Jacob Martin fans that you are, this Tuesday marked the premiere of the League and, as you undoubtedly suspected already, it was successful to a near-ridiculous degree. I got to wear my orange sweater that day, so there’s another plus. Herein lies my problem, though. Do you know what really grinds my gears? Certain individuals seem to think that orange is an unattractive color and that it should never be worn by anyone, not even me. These vile street urchins have the sheer audacity to claim that the sweater doesn’t look good on me. They also say things about my orange tie that I can’t even bear to repeat in print. Now, maybe these people are colorblind and think that my sweater is actually some sort of color normal people can’t even see; this would make sense, since butterflies and snakes, which can see into different light spectra than we can, seem

I had originally planned to take this week off. Well, not exactly. My plan was to give a brief explanation of what the International Flat Earth Society is, and then post an article from the weekly newsletter it used to publish. However, there were a few problems with this. I realized the articles were too crazy and arguably too racist to get past the editors (did you know the Pharisees were all IRANIAN?! And that Columbus set out to PROVE the earth was flat?!), and besides they were all in .pdf format and I really didn’t want to mess with that. However, I do encourage you to check out the website of this active

society that genuinely tries to promote the belief that the earth is flat.

Now, this segway is worse than Jimi Heselden’s, but there’s something else that’s been bothering me lately. Wikileaks. For those of you who haven’t heard, a whistle-blowing website called Wikileaks recently published a l o t o f previously c l a s s i f i e d information a b o u t A m e r i c a n f o r e i g n policy.

1. Jeers to the clock in the school cafeteria. Someone needs to fix it, as it appears the clock runs ten to fifteen minutes too slow. Surely the underclassmen wouldn’t invade on First X lunch by entering the cafeteria as early as 11:52 AM, would they? And more to the point, how does Big Tone plan to deal with this situation? The cafeteria has become a crowded mess. Any junior or senior (and even sophomore) will tell you of how they waited as long as 12:05 or 12:10 before entering lunch, lest they be humiliated and thrown out and even subjected to Saturday detention. Hmm. Such a domineering rule has not been placed on the underclassmen yet; perhaps there is a chance at a peaceful solution.

2. Cheers to the Transliminal Club for a good run. With the loss of Charlie Peterson 10’s leadership and several members—those who lost interest, those who didn’t care, those who

were expelled, etc—the club couldn’t help but collapse in on itself. Hopefully, someone in the distant future of Priory will find an interest in the art of hypnosis again.

3. Jeers to Shaquille O’Neal for missing basketball practice this past week, as the Celtics center “forgot what time it was.”

4. Cheers to the newly founded Debate Club, available to students on the designated “A week.” Visionary junior class members Robert Emmett McAuliffe III and Joe DiMarco enjoyed their Gov class so much, they wanted an extra 45-minute extension of it every other week. Insane. If you’re not familiar with Doctor G’s crash courses in Geography, US History, World History, and AP Government, they are essential to your fulfillment as a Priory student. One minute you may be enlightened on the miraculous powers of Congress, the next you will be enraged at Boise State’s blind kicker. The class offers a fine opportunity to check your fantasy rankings, observe the NCAA standings, discuss why the LA Clippers exist, and show all your Blues spirit. For all intensive cares

and purposes, a can’t-miss period.

Led by captains David Taiclet and Matt Keating, Priory Basketball has put together a solid team and is looking forward to a tough competition for the ABC league title. Unsure about the health of some key players, the Rebs headed to the Valley Park tournament on Monday searching for a victory to start off their season. They would not be denied, upsetting the #3 ranked Principia Panthers in a nail biter.

David Taiclet quickly put the Rebs on top by sinking two free throws after a technical foul for an inaccuracy in the Principia books. Fueled by his example, the team continued to dominate the scoreboard, jumping ahead by a score of 10 to 2 after two quick 3-point shots from Sophomore Ryan

Token. The Rebs continued to play their game, feeding the ball inside to Keating and whipping the ball around for some smart shots from the perimeter, but after some good shooting from Prin, the Rebs headed into half up by only a point.

The Rebs came out re-energized after the half and jumped ahead again, although Prin kept the game within reach. With less than two minutes remaining, the Rebs were up by three. Prin put on the pressure and made two quick steals, cutting the lead down to one. With almost no time on the clock, Taiclet went to the line and sunk another free throw to end the game with a final score of 39 to 37.

Looking to continue their undefeated season, the Rebs played again on Wednesday against the Brentwood Eagles. The quick offense of the Eagles soared over the Rebs early in the game, putting them up 10 to 1. After a time out, the Rebs came out and shut down the Brentwood O, led by the rebounding

Beware of the Twins! After signing 17-year-old shortstop Javier Pimentel for $575K, Minnesota will look to make the playoffs again in the coming years with high hopes of a World Series appearance soon. Pimentel, a Dominican prospect, is a very strong hitter and an amazing fielder. I guarantee he will be a big league star after a few years of maturing. The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Jon Garland from the San Diego Padres. An underrated pitcher with an ERA of 2.72 in 2009, and 3.47 in 2010, Garland will be a great fifth starter in the Dodger's rotation, where he spent part of the 2009 season. Not to be outdone, the Detroit tigers signed Venezuelan catcher and first baseman Victor Martinez. Playing for the Red Sox, Martinez exceeded expectations defensively and contributed as a fairly good switch hitter, with a .302 batting average and a .493 slugging average. Look for the Cardinals to continue off season acquisitions after picking up left-handed reliever Brian Tallet

and trading Blake Hawksworth for infielder Ryan Theriot.

On this day in history 1775 the Grand Union Flag was first hoisted on the USS Alfred. The Alfred herself had begun her life in 1774 as a merchant ship named Black Prince in honor of Edward, the eldest son of King Edward III of England. Upon completing only her second voyage, the ship was sold to the Continental Congress who outfitted the ship as a man-of-war and renamed her Alfred. Thus the Alfred became the first ship in the US Navy. After the outfitting of the Alfred, four other ships joined her in the Continental Navy: Columbus, Cabot, Andrew Doria, and sloop Providence. Esek Hopkins was appointed commodore of the flotilla, and Dudley Saltonstall was put in command of the Alfred. The Alfred was placed in commission on the third of December 1775, the same day that the first Grand Union Flag was flown from her mast. The design of the Grand Union Flag consisted of thirteen alternating red and white stripes, representing the thirteen colonies. In the upper left-hand corner, set against a blue background, the flag bore the white cross of St. Andrew of Scotland and the red cross of St. George of England. However the Grand Union Flag was not the sole flag flying from the Alfred’s mast on this day 1775; a flag known as the Gadsden Flag flew under the Union Flag as Esek Hopkins’s personal standard. This flag sported a coiled, ready to strike rattlesnake with the words “Don’t Tread On Me” gracing the bottom. The design itself first appeared on the drums of the Marines who sailed aboard the Alfred, but the rattlesnake as a symbol had its origins in America’s first political cartoon. Sketched by Benjamin Franklin, the cartoon showed a rattlesnake cut into eight pieces with an inscription reading: “Join, or Die.” These eight sections stood for the thirteen colonies (the New England colonies were combined into one section as the head of the snake). The rattlesnake on the Gadsden Flag was whole of course and the rattle of the snake was made up of thirteen segments. These segments represented the thirteen colonies, united, just as the segments of the rattlesnake’s rattle. In December 1775, “An American Guesser” (most likely Benjamin Franklin) wrote to the Pennsylvania Journal: "[The rattlesnake] never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders; she is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her." These two standards, flying for the first time from the mast of the Alfred, are true symbols of American unity and courage, truly a noteworthy day in

history.

There’s only one word that comes to mind when playing Call of Duty: Black Ops. Improvement. Treyarch’s game takes off from Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, this time in the Vietnam era. The first thing you’ll probably check out is the Single Player campaign, being tortured by someone. As an agent who worked undercover to assassinate Castro and leaders of the U.S.S.R., your torturers want to know of the dark secrets you learned. The campaign is epic all the way through to the crazy end, but it has its flaws. T h e checkpoints are space d too far apart, a n d t h e N o r t h Vietnamese A r m y s o m e h o w continuously comes at you without stop. T h e y m u s t h a v e s o m e k i n d o f machine that just produces t h e m o v e r the hill. Also, since when c a n y o u b a s i c a l l y attack Russia a n d C u b a d i r e c t l y without being nuked? The s t o r y ’ s h i s t o r i c a l accuracy is sketchier than buying a Wii from a guy off of Craigslist behind a Walgreens. Next is the multiplayer: a huge improvement over Modern Warfare 2. There were a lot of things to hate about the last game: infinite noob tubes, random grenades, awful spawns that make no sense and lack of fun to play. Fortunately, many of these problems were fixed and then some. A solid half of the maps are fun to play, especially Nuketown, a family classic with an Indiana Jones style town that nukes land on. Instead of having to wait depressingly for your favorite gear, you can simply use the COD Points you earn from playing to purchase what you want as quickly as possible. (Grenade launchers cost the most, and no one uses them) Some new things include: exploding RC cars, dolphin dives, security cameras, hordes of dogs, camera controlled missiles, and customizable characters. What a great and wondrous time! Last but not least is the Zombies mode. Everyone loved killing zombies in Call of Duty: World at War, and the feeling is the exact same. Treyarch actually barely changed anything about it besides Vietnam era weapons-surprisingly a good thing. Zombies is in my opinion probably one of the most, if

COD: Black Ops Review not the most fun cooperative video game experience ever. The only conceivable problem is that there are only two maps: an abandoned opera house and the pentagon. As an added bonus, instead of playing as the stereotypical characters that no one likes in the Pentagon, each of you plays as John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, McNamara, and Fidel Castro. Obviously, we all want to be Castro in his Communist ways. Something I want to know is why they were all chilling out together, but that is for another day. To sum it up, the single player campaign is very cool and exciting to play through, especially considering the Vietnam War is almost never used for a video game for a certain reason. (Hint: We lost.) However, taking the role of an unrealistic American soldier that can provoke people all he wants without getting his country nuked, you experience some epic moments (which I can’t reveal even at the beginning). The multiplayer is actually enjoyable to play now that using the cheapest weaponry like noob tubes or RPG suicides (you get the point) is

heavily discouraged because it doesn’t help you. A huge improvement over the hugely popular Modern Warfare 2, you’ll find yourself almost being crazy enough to prestige all 15 times (You won’t). Lastly, probably the best thing Treyarch has ever done with its lackluster game making career, Zombie Mode shines as a perfect break from killing your friends. For some reason, you are still killing “Nazi” zombies in the Vietnam Era, but you’ll learn not to ask any questions and just take it. Call of Duty Black Ops is without a doubt the best game to pick up this holiday season, improving everywhere. Unfortunately it will not ever match up to the almighty

greatness of Call of Duty 4.

disappointment of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The U.S. government had nothing bad to say about Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi. He apparently spends all his time with a Ukrainian nurse who was described only as, “a voluptuous blonde.” Also included were concerns about Iran’s growing influence and Pakistan’s poor security around its nuclear facilities, and a possible one-state solution in Korea should the regime in the north collapse. Most of this information should not have been released. It’s great to know what we plan to do to solve the problem in Korea, but if I know about it, Kim Jong-Il knows about it, and do we really want him to know about it? Also, it’s naïve to think that the things we say about the leaders of other countries are any less critical than what they say about us. This was irresponsible and dangerous to our forces overseas who gathered this information, and when Interpol hunts down and tazes the founder of this

website, I hope he’s brought to justice.

The Rebs came out after half looking to continue their defensive domination and improve their offense. After some unfortunate turnovers and quick points from the Eagles, the Rebs had their work cut out for them. Unfortunately, they ran out of time and lost with a final score of 42 to 31.

The Rebels took the ice last Monday at Queeny Park vs. Whitfield. After getting shut down in the first two periods, Niall Caparon finally put in a rebound off of a shot by junior Alec Atkinson, to give the Priory a 1-0 lead with most of the 3rd period to play. Later in the period, the Rebels found the back of the net again when senior Stephen Kleinheider scored his 3rd goal of the season to add to the lead. Although the game seemed over, Whitfield decided to pull their goalie with about 2 minutes left, and soon after, the extra attacker scored, making it a one-point game. With Whitfield's goalie back in the net, Atkinson scored his second goal of the game with a good, low shot, leading the Rebels to their second win of the season with a final score of 3-1. Unfortunately, Priory was unable to get back-to-back wins as they faced off against MICDS last Saturday. The Rebels were unable to get anything past the Rams' goalie and struggled on the defensive end, forcing a 5-0 loss. Putting this tough game behind us, we will take the ice this Saturday at 7:45 PM at Brentwood vs. Ladue, and next Monday we will play Westminster at 6:30 at Queeny. Thanks

for all the fan support.

Coming into this year, and for the past several years there has been a huge hype over the Boise State University. This all began in 2006 when Boise seemed to explode into the nation all with the ever-memorable 2007 Fiesta Bowl in which they tied the game with 0:07 remaining in the 4th quarter with the famous Hook-and-Ladder lateral trick-play. Boise then won this game with the even more well remembered Statue of Liberty play on a 2-point conversion. (You also may remember that Ian Johnson, the BSU running back who scored, ran over and proposed to his wife, a BSU cheerleader just after scoring.) But I digress. Since this coming into the national spotlight, the Broncos have gone 38-2. Losing the Poinsettia Bowl to TCU in 2008 and also suffering a defeat at the hands of then ranked number 19 in the nation Nevada last weekend. This game was nuts. For many reasons this was a hugely important game for Boise. Their BCS Bowl dreams rested in a victory in this game. This game was also one of BSU’s few chances to prove themselves against, well, an opponent who their fourth string team couldn’t beat. One huge reserve that many people have in putting Boise (and also TCU for that matter) into the elite group of nationally recognized and especially SEC Teams is their poor strength of schedule. However, this is hardly Boise’s fault. They have been very open to playing any and everyone who wishes to attempt to tame the Bronco. However, Saturday was no glass-slippered ball for the Broncos. Their chariot to take them to their BCS game turned into a pumpkin as the clock chimed midnight and as Kyle Brotzman shanked his second straight field goal from inside 30 yards within 3 minutes of game time. If you didn’t find a way to watch this game, you must, or at least watch the finish anyway. The first half was all Boise, and they went into the half up 17. However, Nevada rallied unbelievably in the second half to tie the game with only 9 seconds left for BSU quarterback Kellen Moore to move the ball. However, Moore, who ironically has been criticized by NFL scouts for being unable to throw the deep ball completed a 54 yard pass to the sprawling Titus Young who secured the ball and immediately called a timeout with 2 seconds remaining in the game. It simply wasn’t to be for the Broncos though as the formerly mentioned and usually consistent Brotzman missed for 26 yards to force overtime.

In OT, the Bronco’s offense stalled again leaving Brotzman a field goal to keep their chances alive. This time it was from 29 yards out. Again he missed, putting the nail in the coffin for Boise’s BCS hopes. Now much can, and has, been said about the height of the goal posts etc, and I personally tend to agree that on normal goal posts the game would have ended in the 4th with a BSU win, but that wasn’t how it all worked out for the fairytale team. Other than Boise State University’s case to be a better team than everyone was giving them credit for, there was another great loss to college football that came with BSU’s loss. In Boise losing, we also lose out on the chance to have a college football playoff system instead of this BCS garbage. We lose the chance to watch terrible teams like “The” Ohio State University get trounced by a team like Boise instead of watching them cheat a team like Michigan State out of a BCS bowl game. Why, you may ask? Because Nevada’s victory has “proved” (not at all but the BCS can now argue that it has proved anyway) that the “unproven” teams with weak schedules really are not as talented as the higher ranked teams. Essentially it has proved the BCS Rankings to be correct by proving all reserves held on a team like BSU to be true. As a college football fan I lament the fact that, in part because of this, the Nation will not be given what it wants and truly deserves in a post-season playoff system. That is the true loss here. So, for now, all we can do is pray that Auburn loses to those Gamecocks of South Carolina so that TCU will have their rightful chance to play for the National

Championship.
