MHS Info appears, like clockwork, on almost every TV in the high school at exactly 10:00 a.m. All class discussions simmer down, and the focus shifts to the countdown on the screen. What follows can either be a newscast based on SNL’s Weekend Update, or a funny short film directed by a student. Info is always entertaining, and the video team works through a daily time crunch to ensure that we can all watch a refreshing new segment each day. After watching MHS Info for almost a semester, we know the cast of students so well, and the anchors are always familiar. Imagine if we found out that one of those students, one of our own, would become a famous director in the Hollywood film industry. Crazy, right?

The second semester of senior year is viewed by many students as a much needed time to relax after an exhausting college process. Stephanie Katz ‘12, believes that “After four hard years of high school, the last few months are a well-earned break.” What this usually means is that schoolwork takes a backseat to things of greater enjoyment, such as a day at the beach, or a morning spent asleep. However, while this attitude is understandable, it has led to a situation where many faculty members think it has gone a bit too far. Principal Elizabeth Clain believes that this condition, commonly known as “senioritis,” is a real issue at Mamaroneck High School.

It’s not often that students can brag that a celebrity went to their school. Of course many graduates have gone into successful fields, and some have even made the news. But very few alumni have reached the novel fame experienced by recording artists. That is why it is not surprising that the Timeflies sensation has roused so much excitement in the MHS student body.

As the 2011-12 school year arrives in full swing, freshmen aren’t the only ones finally getting acclimated to the new environment. MHS’ newest teachers are beginning to find comfort in the hallways of Post and Palmer as well.

“5-4-3-2-1… Cue talent!”

“Quiet on the set!” “Control room ready?”

“Preview camera 2, take 2!”

“Roll video!” “Graphic up!” “Graphic out!”

When Plaza Bootery went out of business, Larchmont residents wondered what would eventually take its place. Finally, on Aug. 20, eager citizens received their answer with the opening of Love Shoes. Love Shoes is a women and children’s shoe store, owned by Ellie Devito.

Every September MHS students return to the same hallways, faces and classrooms. It’s as if the school had been frozen for the summer and thawed out just as people streamed through the familiar glass doors.

Starting a club is one of the most creative and beneficial ways to leave your legacy at MHS. A club can be for nearly anything, and it is the main aspect of highschool life that students are in charge of. A club can be a chapter of a larger organization, such as a non-profit or charity foundation. Clubs can also be completely independentestablishments, allowing students’ creativity to flow. If you have ever thought of a certain cause or activity that you feel is under-represented at the high school, beginning a club can be the best way to change that.

At MHS, students experience varying degrees of anxiety on a regular basis. Tests, presentations and performances may eat away at our nerves, but there is no more stressful activity than taking the New York State road test. In the lessons leading up to my road test, my driving instructor, Steve Madris, emphasized the role of adrenaline in these emotionally taxing examinations. He told tales of middle-aged women nervously driving with the car in reverse and of confident teenage boys cracking under the pressure and forgetting how to parallel park. As a late-blooming driver (I took my time getting my permit), I had seen countless friends return from road tests bitter and, at times, downright offended, positive that the test overseer had failed them on purpose.

October is here. The leaves are turning, pumpkins are being sold and countless students are considering what they’ll be wearing on Halloween. However, in the Larchmont-Mamaroneck School District, the month of October is primarily recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness month. Local establishments are commemorating those who have been affected by the disease by doing their part to raise money for the cure. From selling low-fat yogurt or chocolate to offering the ever-present pink hair extensions, locals of all ages are remembering and striving to help those that have been affected by breast cancer.

It’s that time of year again. Jack-o-lanterns line pathways, grotesque witches hang from trees and ghosts drift across doorways. Halloween is just around the corner. Families are already starting to decorate their houses and order their costumes. Everyone can taste the crisp autumn breezes that are blowing our way.

How does it feel when you are anchoring?

It is hard to get used to initially, with lights glaring in your face, constantly having to sit up straight, making sure you aren’t moving around, actually pronouncing words and reading the teleprompter correctly, and, on top of that, trying to be funny. But most of the time it is a lot of fun; Zain and I tend to call each other most nights before a show and plan our costumes/bits for the next day.

Every year MHS sees the disappearance as well as the addition of certain classes. This year in particular has seen rise to a few new courses that are offered to students. Some were offered in the past and are now able to return due to significant interest shown by students.

Some people have a way of lighting up a room. Caroleen Teboul ’15 is one of those people. If you know her sister Natalie Teboul’10, it will not surprise you whata chipper, talented and dedicated individual this current freshman is. Teboul feelsthat the freshman class “has a lot of athletes and talented people,” but ultimately, she is the epitome of talented.

Perhaps you have seen the tall, angular, freckled, half-Chinese track and basketball wunderkind criss-crossing town on his regular jogs. But did you know that Tommy Vandenburg ’11’s passion for running dates back to his birth? Vandenburg “ran out of the womb and out of the room,” according to Rishi Gorti ’11, an OSR winner and therefore a medical expert. But first, Tommy interjected, the doctors “had to cut the thing first.”
