A couple of weeks ago, all EVHS staff had a meeting discussing the possibility of graduation 2010 taking place on the Saturday before the last day of school. It would be the first time in Eastview history that graduation takes place on a Saturday instead of the Friday after the last day of school. Since the school year can't start before labor day, the calendar has been "pushed" as Hori Sensei says, and is in need of adjustments. Graduation for the class of 2010 could possibly take place on Saturday, June 5th, 2010. Seniors next year would not have to attend the last week of school unlike all underclassmen who will have to attend school until Thursday, June 10th, 2010.Many students that will be seniors next year, such as Ronnie Allen who found out about the possibility of an early graduation through a friend, would be very happy with this decision. "I think it's a great idea to get out of school a week early," says Ronnie, "All we do during the last week of school is watch movies anyway. It just seems like a waste of time, we might as well be done with school."The good news of the likeliness that this will happen is spreading throughout this year's junior class quickly. However, not many of our current seniors have heard about it. "What?! Are you kidding me?" yells Danny Vi, an angered senior who will be graduating next month. Danny called the whole idea "retarded and unfair." "This should have been done for this year's graduating class!" He states that the only thing good about the last week of school is seeing friends for a couple more days."An unbiased opinion comes from Hori Sensei, the Japanese teacher at EVHS. "I think it's be an okay idea for graduation to be on a Saturday instead of a Friday. It would be more convenient for family members to come to graduation on a Saturday. In Japan, graduations are always on Saturdays, so I'm used to the idea."

Where can i start, um the frist sentence caught me off guard and made me amazed. On the other hand some parts lost me. Overall she should rethink the story line and develop her idea more. It made me think a lot and jump in the middle but it lost its edge at the end.

As the school year slows to an end students are excited to have so much free time. Most of which will be spent catching up on the sleep they lost through out the nine months school was going on. But high school students will also be catching some sun, hanging out with friends and reading. Many students returning next year will be reading books for their AP classes, but some will be reading for pure enjoyment. I spoke to Cory Patel, an Eastview junior, and he filled me in on the books he enjoys. "I would recommend The Catcher in the Rye" Cory says. He also likes The Kite Runner and Soldier X. Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, is about a mans life and all of his experiences. The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, which has been turned into a movie, has many awards. The movie was nominated for “best young actor” and “best art direction in a contemporary film” plus much more. It also won the academy award for best picture. The book has also been listed as a best seller. The Kite Runner is a story about a boy growing up in the Afghanistan war zone. He and his best friend grow up motherless, but both have incredibly different futures ahead of them based on their father’s occupations. So as they grow up they grow apart and The Kite Runner shares the story of redemption. Another huge hit turned film was twilight. The twilight series swept not just the nations, but the worlds, teenage girls. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer is about a vampire who falls in love with an average girl. The movie came out in November 2008; the sequel will be out in November 2009.

Good job really enjoyed reading this. i cant say you should change anything. Maybe more details and stay on track with the story line.

Feature

In the world of professional basketball, there reigns two dominate players competing against each other. One is a veteran who has seen it all and the other is the new kid, built like a rock. They are the soul and heart of their respected team. Most believe that without them, they wouldn’t even win a game. They also carry a level of greatness to their teams by just being there. They build confidence knowing that if anything goes south, they are there to save the day. Thousands of people pay to watch these “athletes” throw a ball through a hoop. Is that all they do? Do this “people” get paid millions yearly for nothing? Most would say there amazing or magnificent. In the following paragraphs, I will be comparing Kobe “Black Mamba” Bryant against, LeBron “The King” James. I will compare and contrast their statistic and accomplishments, to best determine who is really the “best.” In the first corner is Kobe Bryant, also known as Black Mamba. The Black Mamba is the most dangerous and feared snake in Africa. Black Mamba is also the fastest on land snake and depending on the nature of the bite, a person can die in merely 15 minutes to three hours. His nickname fits him well even LeBron James said, “No one can stop him from scoring.” While attending Lower Merion High School, the NBA (National Basketball Association) drafted him without even stepping into a college. His is included in the books with players like Kevin Garnett, Lebron James, Tracy McGrady, and Andrew Bynum who also made the amazing jump from high school straight to the pros. Coming in to the league Kobe did the unthinkable. After only four years, he won three consecutive NBA national championships. The last time this was done was when Bill Russell or Michael Jordan was in the game. At his peak, Kobe was averaging over 35 points a game, but he wasn’t winning. He requested to be traded, but they built around him knowing the talent they had on their hands. The following year he single handed brought his team to the playoff and NBA finals, but as tradition serves they lose to the Boston Celtics. This year Mr. Bryant is back to the finals but what will be the outcome? Many players believe that Mamba will get his ring again. Interviews going around the lockers room and people are saying who can really stop “the lethal snake.” He will be facing Dwight Howard in the finals, Dwight also said “During the Olympic game all we had to do was just pass it to Kobe.

Eastview High School Basketball After a hard long season of basketball, win or, lose does training end?It does for the average player, that plays winter and starts summer break. Every year make their way up and leave so there is room for the improved elite. What you do over the summer is vital and can either give you a seat on the bench or a seat the stands. Of course, like in any sport there is favoritism in the try outs but if your good enough you will make it. After the season the most common thing to do is do track so you can stay in shape. I always like to jump during track because the higher you can jump the better. This year I quite track to join my Aau team. Aau is another big thing to keep your body in shape and game in the right mode. Aau is spring/summer time basketball for those who play year round.
