Mr. Bonamo’s Letter to the Editor
To the Editors: Your article on social networking was timely, informative, and relevant, given the prevalence of social networking websites and our recent hosting of Dr. Matt Bellace for an underclassman assembly on this topic. I was dismayed, however, at how a quotation from a reporter’s interview with me was edited. When I was asked by [...]
March 2013 Letter to the Editor
Dear Editors, I would like to first commend you for displaying the article on the gay pride flag. And what I am about to say isn’t an attack on the newspaper, but rather a spotlight on SHS society’s seeming hypocrisy. I am irritated that this is yet another article regarding homosexuality in which no one [...]
October Letters to the Editor
I thought that the article about Village construction was a good topic for an article. It is something that everybody in SHS can relate to, and therefore gives the sense of relatability that a good article should have. Also I enjoyed the use of one quote about the positives from the bridge, and one from the negative, because it contrasted well [...]
Letters to the Editor: September Issue
The May “See Me After Class” article was great! Ms. Meyer was one of my favorite teachers last year. Her class was never boring because she told lots of funny stories. She made everyone feel relaxed and ready to learn. I didn’t know she was going to write a book, but I want to get [...]
Nurse Steefel’s Letter to the Editor
Submissions may be edited for length and grammar. Please send submissions to maroon.shs@gmail.com Dear Maroon, Once again, I am grateful to Maroon for giving me the opportunity to explain to the school community why I must do some things as I do even when, as on this occasion, a practice might seem archaic. Professional licenses are [...]
Mr. Vermes’ Letter to the Editor
Dear Maroon, In response to the “Who’s Here?” editorial that appeared in the March 2012 edition of Maroon, I would like to say that, as the person who normally posts the absent teacher list, I take exception to your statement that “…the names are artificially withheld until the first bell dramatically sounds.” I post the list as soon [...]
Dan Needham’s Letter to the Editor
Dear Maroon, I agree with most of the points addressed in the article “The Civ-Ed Dilemma,” yet one quote in the article states that Civ-Ed advisors are trying to set a good example for the freshman, but at the same time are trying to maintain a certain “social status.” The quote implies that drinking alcohol is a [...]
Raza Khan’s Letter to the Editor
Dear Maroon, I really enjoy reading Maroon. It’s really cool because it gives me a heads up on what’s happening. Though it is a great newspaper, I never get enough time to read all the articles I want. After I leave homeroom, the newspaper seems to disappear. Perhaps shorter articles might help? Despite that, I can guarantee that [...]
Tom Varghese’s Letter to the Editor
Dear Maroon, I completely approve of your inclusion of my campaign speech. Although, I hope that the fourteen people from the poll who voted that my speech was more offensive than the “racism” speech did not forget what the speech was actually about. I would be lying if I said that I was not going for the [...]
Daniella Knafo’s Letter to the Editor
Dear Maroon, When I first saw [Senior Cut Day: A Giant Problem] in Maroon and saw my name in it, I felt angry and singled out. The fact that I wrote a post in the senior group on Facebook and people liked the idea does not make me any more guilty than the next person. [...]
