For the first time ever, all paperwork and commencement forms will be completed online ONLY.

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT

Avatar ***** (5/5)

James Cameron is, without a doubt, an absolute genius. No, he hasn't found a cure for the common cold nor has he built a solar cell that could power the entire planet, but he knows how to produce one heck of a movie. His latest creation, "Avatar", is now the highest grossing movie of all time, with $1.

Do You Believe This?

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT

A few months ago you read about my cat, Max, who carried a favorite towel around from room to room and slept on it. Eventually his towel became dirty, and I had to wash it. As I gathered my clothes, I noticed Max wasn't on his towel so I seized the moment, snatched it up, and put it on top of the clothes.

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT

Valentine's Day is one of those holidays where there is great joy or great despair. For many people without 'someone special' this day is often met with depression, and even for those who are in a relationship, V-Day often doesn't lead up to believed expectations.

A Different Approach to New Year's Resolutions

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT

Originally, this space was going to be reserved for a short article about the different New Year's resolutions staff and students have made and their plans for sticking to them. The topic was meant to be lighthearted and fun, but the recent events in Haiti have hit me at such a personal level, I can't bring myself to write about such a lighthearted topic.

Letter from the Editor

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT

In the past few weeks, there have been many signs that my time here at Holy Family is quickly coming to an end. Sooner then I care to mention, it will be May and I'll be walking to receive my diploma. If that isn't a scary thought, I don't know what is. I mean for the past 17 years I've been going to some sort of school, doing project, taking tests, studying into the early morning.
