Colored shirts brighten JC

The new uniform change is fully endorsed. They keep spirits up throughout the cold and dreary days of winter.

Instead of the boring white or yellow shirt, the new uniform change promotes individuality. Guys can now express their own styles, but still be professional.

Although guys may need to wake up earlier to prepare their outfits, they now have a wider variety of shirts to choose from. Props to JC for brightening the school one pastel colored shirt at a time.

Homecoming decor dazzles

Forget saving your pennies for a rainy day, the money for Homecoming was well spent on casino night.

Decorative cards and streamers were hung all over. From the windows to the wall, the school radiated a Las Vegas atmosphere.

In the gym, fog machines and two massive screens that projected music videos created a dance like environment.

Best of all, Elvis was present in case any matrimonies needed an officiant.

Pep rallies promote spirit

Of all the past pep rallies, this past one has been the most memorable.

There are always the classics. An MC. The cheerleaders. The marching band. But this year, it went above and beyond.

It was more engaging for the students, since they were able to participate. The juniors battled the teachers in a tug a war contest. Nevertheless, the highlight of the pep rally was seeing Dean of Freshmen Sean Ireton and Dean of Students Brian Powell battle it out in sumo wrestler outfits.
