North Cadets honor the Fallen

North AFJROTC students presented colors at several Twin Cities cemeteries on Memorial Day.  Msgt. David Wilkerson had this to say: 

"Just wanted to share the attached photo from Memorial Day with you all. Five of our cadets came in at 7am and spent 5 hours of their time performing Color Guard duties at three local cemeteries. [Msgt. Brian Buesgens] and I  received many compliments regarding our cadets and our program."



The Perfect Ending

Matt Berens has been competing on the North High Track team for four years out of his high school career. He is truly a tremendous athlete. He carries many awards in the events he participates in. Matt does the 2 mile, mile, and the 4x800 mater really. He says, “What I like most about track is going to the meets to compete and watch others compete, plus its fun.” His main goal to this ending season is to qualify for the State track meet at sections. Matt says he does track because,” I like running as a team, improving my times, and it’s fun to see yourself get better!” Good luck to Matt Berens and hopefully he’ll end the season with his goals!

Cat Collage

A while back ago, Mr. Cahill received a strange present. A cat collage. The creator of this work of art is unkown, as well as his or her intentions for leaving such a gift. Mr. Cahill’s only comment on the matter was: "Creeped Out."

Veggie wars

Mitch Griser Journalism 1


You’re eating your chicken sandwich, or your chicken bits, or maybe even your chicken salad; when all of a sudden you’re hit by your favorite orange vegetable. Carrots are great food weather they are whole or baby carrots, slap a side of ranch dressing with that and your good to go. But it seems like more and more your favorite veggie is being used as artillery.
You better duck and cover before you’re pegged in the head from across the lunch room. An unofficial report said that anywhere from 3 to 93 students were admitted to the hospital after taking a fatal blow to the head or chest. The slippery monsters can easily be squeezed until it burst out of your fingers and go flying. But it seems like people are making deadly blows from crazy distances; so the question had to be asked who is training these root snipers. After grueling interrogation and countless interviews it was made clear that al qaeda was behind these high school antics. It seems like these days no one is safe. So grab your helmets and keep a good look out, or you might get knocked out.

Everyone is going crazy because its a PART-A in Mr. Sturms Physics class. It has become an inside joke for all of Mr. Sturms students, and a fun break from your adverage class room experience.
The fun all started when Mr. Sturm would holler Partayyyy everytime we went over a HW or Test question that had a part A. Now the whole class joins in in anticipation. It has changed the day to day class rountine, and helped more kids focus in in hopes to have some fun!
The fun class saying has evolved into a a bug inside joke and now is even being made into a T-shirt in which the saying will be put on the front with Mr. Sturms face under it showing the old thumps up and a big ole smile.
There are close to 50 students from his 4 physics classes that are already eagered to participate in the T-shirt fun. It is meant to be a funny thing especially since the only classes that normally get T-shirts are for the AP classes . The Part-A day is scheduled for thursday 5/26/11 where every one is going to wear the shirls and have.

As a student in Ap Tong feels good now that it is over with, for him it’s a relieved now that it is over. He’s feeling pretty good that it is all over now.  Then as for upcoming finals “I don't think I am ready for the finals yet. I know for sure that I need to study more before I am ready.” Right now Tong is glad that it is over, but there is still next year! He hope next year won’t be so hard but he is ready for any challenge that he will face in the future.

In their Ap class they are currently watching a movie, but every movie has its purpose in AP! They are also taking notes from the movie that shows what the decade is about and how they people felt in that decade. Also in class they are doing a decade project. It’s a 25 minute presentation but it’s not due yet. For this project in his group of group is doing the 70’s. He is hoping that it turns out good!

In the future he is planning to take more AP class! About Ap class tong says “although it is hard I loves the challenge that comes with it.” Even though he knows he won’t pass the test it is worth it because of the challenge it provided.

Allstar Weekend is a pop/rock band from San Diego, California, made up of four cute guys named Zach Porter (Lead Singer), Nathan Darmody (Guitarist), Cameron Quiseng (Bassist), and Michael Martinez (Drummer). Zach and Nathan started writing songs in high school. Then they decided to form a band where they asked Cameron and Michael to join. Michael was the only one who didn’t go to school with them; he went to the rival school.
One day the boys decide to drive up to Los Angeles for the premier of the Jonas Brothers 3D Concert movie. The four boys stood outside handing out flyers and free cd’s. That night a Disney producer got a hold of their cd and he passed it on to Radio Disney. A few days later they got an email from the people at Radio Disney asking if they want to join a contest called “The Next Big Thing”. They agreed to join but they ended up losing. The exposure from the competition lead too many show cases for major labels, they chose and signed with Hollywood Records.
After opening shows for people like Emily Osment, Jonas Brothers, and Selena Gomez they released a cd. They did lots of promotion at the Radio Disney studios. The station’s studio is “practically home away from home” says Cameron Quiseng. Their singles “Come Down With Love” and “Dance Forever” from their album “Suddenly Yours” were constantly requested on Radio Disney, the songs made it to the Top 30 Countdown.
Their newest single “Not Your Birthday” is an upbeat dancy song. “Not Your Birthday is about living life to the fullest, 365 days a year” says Nathan Darmody. Ever since the song was released it became number one on Radio Disney’s Top 30 Countdown and it was on Z100 countdown too. This song is definitely a catchy song, when you listen to it at least once it’ll be stuck in your head. It’s a good song to play while you’re hanging out with your friends and dancing around.
