Homecoming 2021 By: Lydia Grampp

After a year off, it can be tricky for freshmen and sophomores to gain full understanding of what Homecoming week is really like. In powder puff, the senior girls took a swift victory over the junior girls, but the success was not so sweet for the senior boys as they accepted a loss from the sophomore boys during buff puff. Some of the spirit themes included twin day and even movie day! The football team put up a great fight against Monticello, and the whole school was filled with a lot of spirit. The dance took place outside in a big tent, and Grace Mund and Devin Wunsch were crowned King and Queen. All around, Homecoming week will be a week not soon forgotten!

Random Facts W I T H B I G MAC By: Emma O'Lone

A new section here in The Chief is all about Mr. McElwee’s random fun facts or opinions on anything. One fact he recently learned and shared is that nearly everyone of European descent alive today is in some way related to Charlemagne the French king. Charlemagne had so many children who also had children, so down the line you can be related to someone from the 10th century. In Mr. Mac’s words, “How’s that for cool?” A second fact he shared involves Star Trek: The Next Generation. Reporters asked why Patrick Stewart (who was cast as the captain of the Enterprise) was still bald if he was supposed to be from the 24th century. The creator of the show, Gene Roddenberry, did not decide to use technology to fix this because he felt that “by the 24th century, no one will care.” Thank you to Mr. Mac for your enlightenment and random facts.
