​          Oyster Bay High School’s Class of 2018 just received their first glimpse of the top students in their class. Juniors Sahill Yadav, Terrance Cameron, Jodi Yeh and Keith Cassar each received his or her invitation to the 2017 Oyster Bay High School Graduation, where each will serve as a Graduation Marshall. How are the Graduation Marshalls chosen each year? The four members of the junior class with the highest weighted GPAs earn the distinction. Yep, that’s right. Let the speculation begin. Two of the four Graduation Marshalls are the Valedictorian and Salutatorian of their class. The only question is, who?

​          Many acts of kindness often go unnoticed nowadays; we don’t notice our own heroes very often. But I would like to bring to your attention a group of clever moms from Long Island who just so happened to take part in an enormous act of kindness. One of those moms is our very own math tutor, Mrs. Atsidis! Mrs. Atsidis and 13 other moms from Long Island have been working tirelessly to raise over $33,000 for The Morgan Center, a preschool for kids with cancer or other forms of a compromised immune system. Due to their acts of kindness, Ellen DeGeneres of “The Ellen Show” decided to fly these women out to LA for an experience of a lifetime.

          Have you ever noticed that it’s an absolute nightmare to get from point A to point B in the halls of our school? Have you ever noticed that there’s always that one guy or girl who’s going against the flow of hallway traffic? We all have.
​           The thing is, the hallways and the way people navigate them is surprisingly similar to the laws of the road. Move at a pace not too fast, but not too slow, don’t veer onto the wrong side of the road, and don’t be a fool behind the wheel. However, many people have ignored these golden rules and end up making fools out of themselves by bumping into doors, or people.

                     As American Sign Language continues to grow throughout the United States, its presence in Oyster Bay High School is also growing, as seen through the annual ASL breakfast. This event consists of four periods in which all ASL students at OBHS interact with one another by signing. I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Sisia about the event and a variety of other ASL topics.

                On Friday, April 7th, the American Sign Language classes, under the direction of Dr. Sisia, coordinated a day that was full of exciting ways to learn some of the fundamentals of American Sign Language. Located in our school library was a mini workshop where no words were needed and students of all ages were separated into five groups. In these five groups the students played a variety of games that enabled them to learn the basics of American Sign Language for topics such as food, colors, numbers, animals and the alphabet.

       You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown was an obvious hit that premiered Friday, March 24th through Sunday, March 26th thanks to outstanding performances from the cast and everyone else who worked tirelessly to execute such an incredible play. After an interview with Mrs. Kozee, the 7th and 8th grade chorus teacher who has worked with most of the students in the play this year, we can clearly see that there is a lot that goes into preparing and executing a musical production.
