The Academy Awards are a long
withstanding American tradition. They
began in 1928, an economically diffi -
cult period for most Americans, and will
be shown for the 81st time on February
22nd of this year, an equally unstable
period. This similarity highlights the
special meaning the Awards has for
America--it is a 3-hour show in which
Americans can forget their troubles and
indulge themselves in the artistic craft
of fi lms and review the best cinematic
products of the previous year. Warning:
reviews contain spoilers. |

Unlike students at the winter semiformal
dance, a majority of parents may
be in the dark on the current dancing done
by today’s high schoolers. Unless a parent
chooses to chaperone one of these dances,
the closest thing they have probably seen
to it is in the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing.
Principal Joe Malone was shocked when
he first saw it, a form of dancing which
was described by Vice Principal Curtis
Wilson as, “A boy standing behind a girl
and humping her as if they were dogs
in heat.” Critics call it sex with clothes
on, the web calls it “freak dancing” or
“grinding”, but today’s teens just call it
dancing. This type of dancing has been
going on for years, and it seems to be this
generation’s dance of choice. |

Anyone who works in a darkroom does some chemistry
by developing photos, but not all have the kind of intangible chemistry that allows them to say they find photography “relaxing and satisfying,” especially when a photo doesn’t turn out according to plan. |
