Top 10 ways for a non-fan to survive Super Bowl LII January 29, 2018 — by Jay Kim and Victor Liu 10. Know which teams are playing in the Super Bowl this year: No, it’s not going to be the Warriors and Earthquakes. 9. Place your bets: Oh wait, we can’t condone gambling in a school newspaper. 8. This isn’t college football: Keep the “Roll Tides” at home. 7. Fake it till you make it: Be sure to name drop a couple players’ names like they’re proper nouns in APUSH. Use buzzwords like rub routes and “Red Zone” and GOAT for bonus points. 6. Choose a team to back: Buy both Patriot and Eagles jerseys so you can change at halftime, depending on the score. 5. Drink lots of water: You don’t need to stay hydrated on the field, but you can avoid sports talk when you go to the bathroom for the 15th time. 4. Budget your weekend properly: You’ll spend over three hours watching the ball be in play for 11 minutes. 3. Asdjfdjhbfjkshkmuxuftsjfhztubbyqwetunchakso: Keep your mouth full with Doritos and guac so you don’t have to expose your lack of football knowledge. Throw in a fist pump afterwards to feign excitement. 2. “Unbelievable:” The phrase works whether your team is winning or losing. 1. Know who’s performing at halftime: Perfect hitting those high-pitched Justin Timberlake notes. read more » Unqualified chefs make apple rose puff pastries January 23, 2018 — by Jay Kim and Alex Wang Sophomore reporters test out their cooking skills by making a Valentine's day dessert read more » Ten tips for a great formal asking November 27, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Victor Liu 10. Do a public asking without letting the girl know beforehand. You might get rejected, but at least people will know you tried. 9. Do a flash mob asking with your friends. Many tropical birds do mating dances — why can’t you? 8. Send a Facebook message to everyone you’ve said hi to before in the hallways. The key is to cast a wide net first. 7. Ask in the quad in front of the whole school so everyone knows your date is taken. Who knows if your date will decide to go with someone else last minute? 6. If you can’t find a date, just tell everyone you have a girlfriend in college. Don’t worry, we totally believe you guys. 5. Be vigilant. Don’t ask other people to find you a date. 4. Stay vigilant. There are girls at other nearby schools like Mitty that might still say yes to you. 3. Don’t make the lame excuse of having prioritized SAT over formal. The SAT starts at 8 a.m.; Formal starts 10 hours later. 2. Check out farmersonly.com. You may not be a farmer, but you can sure harvest a reputation of desperation. 1. If all else fails, just ask your mom! At least she’ll give you a ride to the venue. read more » Chen and Morelle join the Sharks October 19, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Elaine Toh Teachers add Shark Tank projects to their curriculum to encourage student entrepreneurship. read more » Girls tennis: Players prepare for another winning season with 4 new players September 5, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Annissa Mu Preview for upcoming season of girls' tennis. read more » Golf team ends Paly’s five-year winning streak May 24, 2017 — by Jay Kim Falcons defeat first-place Palo Alto, ending their season with three wins in a row with a record of 5-6-1. read more » Junior Prom draws big turnout; some say venue too small May 8, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Michelle Lee Junior prom venue proves to be too small; junior class officers originally thought the GlassHouse was ideal, yet the main complaint they got had to do with its size. read more » Boys’ tennis: Team finishes second in league, prepares for CCS May 3, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Elizabeth Lee Boys Tennis team ends regular season and begins preparation for CCS. read more » Annual March Madness tournament promotes school unity March 11, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Roland Shen Students come together from across all grades to compete in March Madness. read more » AMC to take place; math club looks forward to foster interest January 29, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Michael Zhang With changes to the American Mathematics Competition (AMC), qualification for the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) will be more challenging this year. read more » Freshman jump ropes her way to the national level January 27, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Michelle Lee Freshman goes to national tournament for jump roping. read more » Junior sees makeup as an art form, not a daily task January 17, 2017 — by Frederick Kim and Jay Kim Prom makeup more than meets the eye read more » Students seek recognition at first off-campus math competition December 15, 2016 — by Jay Kim and Michael Zhang Students attend various math competitions. read more » Do you really know your limit?

Ten tips for a great formal asking November 27, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Victor Liu 10. Do a public asking without letting the girl know beforehand. You might get rejected, but at least people will know you tried. 9. Do a flash mob asking with your friends. Many tropical birds do mating dances — why can’t you? 8. Send a Facebook message to everyone you’ve said hi to before in the hallways. The key is to cast a wide net first. 7. Ask in the quad in front of the whole school so everyone knows your date is taken. Who knows if your date will decide to go with someone else last minute? 6. If you can’t find a date, just tell everyone you have a girlfriend in college. Don’t worry, we totally believe you guys. 5. Be vigilant. Don’t ask other people to find you a date. 4. Stay vigilant. There are girls at other nearby schools like Mitty that might still say yes to you. 3. Don’t make the lame excuse of having prioritized SAT over formal. The SAT starts at 8 a.m.; Formal starts 10 hours later. 2. Check out farmersonly.com. You may not be a farmer, but you can sure harvest a reputation of desperation. 1. If all else fails, just ask your mom! At least she’ll give you a ride to the venue. read more » Chen and Morelle join the Sharks October 19, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Elaine Toh Teachers add Shark Tank projects to their curriculum to encourage student entrepreneurship. read more » Girls tennis: Players prepare for another winning season with 4 new players September 5, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Annissa Mu Preview for upcoming season of girls' tennis. read more » Golf team ends Paly’s five-year winning streak May 24, 2017 — by Jay Kim Falcons defeat first-place Palo Alto, ending their season with three wins in a row with a record of 5-6-1. read more » Junior Prom draws big turnout; some say venue too small May 8, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Michelle Lee Junior prom venue proves to be too small; junior class officers originally thought the GlassHouse was ideal, yet the main complaint they got had to do with its size. read more » Boys’ tennis: Team finishes second in league, prepares for CCS May 3, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Elizabeth Lee Boys Tennis team ends regular season and begins preparation for CCS. read more » Annual March Madness tournament promotes school unity March 11, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Roland Shen Students come together from across all grades to compete in March Madness. read more » AMC to take place; math club looks forward to foster interest January 29, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Michael Zhang With changes to the American Mathematics Competition (AMC), qualification for the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) will be more challenging this year. read more » Freshman jump ropes her way to the national level January 27, 2017 — by Jay Kim and Michelle Lee Freshman goes to national tournament for jump roping. read more » Junior sees makeup as an art form, not a daily task January 17, 2017 — by Frederick Kim and Jay Kim Prom makeup more than meets the eye read more » Students seek recognition at first off-campus math competition December 15, 2016 — by Jay Kim and Michael Zhang Students attend various math competitions. read more » Do you really know your limit?
