And in no way, shape or form am I setting up a pathway for future generations to walk along. This column has been written strictly for my fans … Read More
By Catherine Jou ’15 I don’t know who I am, what I will be like in the future and how I was perceived through this purgatory we call high school.

By Brian Hughes ’15 The thought that some people have about your four years of high school being some of the best in your life is a questionable one to me. For my sake, at least, I hope it’s not so.

By Annie Feinroth ’15 This is not going to be about my experience at Sherwood because honestly, I’m completely focused on this coming year. Yes, the devastatingly fatal disease of senioritis has hit me. I don’t think about my PsychSim or my Calculus test.
