Dear Dee, So many choices at the Jesuit cafe?  What's a hungry boy to choose? Hungry Hugo Dear Hungry Hugo, Lunch? You wish to know my thoughts on lunch, to advise on you on the “perfect lunch”? Hmmmm… Interesting. All things making up this perfect lunch must be items that can be purchased from the Jesuit cafeteria? Ok, well, even though I don’t...
Onsie upon a time…   I guess the first thing I should do is introduce myself.  I’m Drew, I’m a sophomore, I’m in band and robotics, and I make a killer PB and J. Alright, I’ve had enough of that.  I’m going to talk about clothes.  Specifically, a world of one cloth.   Imagine for a second a world where everyone has to...
Well, it’s that time of year, and if you have a girlfriend and for some reason have decided to look to me for advice on what to get her, I can do you one better.  Through years of experience and extensive scientific research, I've made a list of things not to get your girlfriend for Christmas.  Impressive right?

However, Jesuit still faces a problem that it has probably been facing since its foundation...

This suppression from Republicans is not new; in the 2020 election, many Republicans tried to falsify many Democratic votes just because the voters were dead. But these votes did end up getting...
Like the ominous clouds lingering on the distant horizon, evil's echos tremble in every fold of fabric in the days of our lives. Every photon of hope photosynthesizes the last plant needed to sustain life. Yet humor blows the clouds before the sun, mocking man. Damn the thoughtless laugh, dancing on the graves of Death's sad victims, singing songs...
One dark and stormy night, Mr. Goll noticed a leak in the roof, damaging a painting. In an act of bravery and honor, he saved the painting, cementing himself not as the hero Jesuit deserved but as the one they needed. He brought the salvaged painting to his office, but after realizing it wasn't worth much on eBay, he...
