On June 4, Student Council will sponsor the eighth annual Walk-A-Thon, a community event which was initiated in loving memory of Talia Cohen, a former MHS student who tragically passed away from Wilm’s tumor. The disease is an extremely rare form of kidney cancer that occurs in children and young adults. The event was started to honor her and her family and to support further research of the disease.

If you haven’t heard already, two fervent, new gangs have formed among MHS sophomores. These gangs compete fiercely against one another in battles of wit and ruthlessness. Walk by the concrete practice wall by the tennis courts at Flint Park any day of the week, and you shall see the greatest competition in recent history taking place: watermelon.

Nicole Gerszberg: What is your show like?

Tom DeLuca: The show is a celebration of the imagination. It allows people to let their imaginations go in an intimate way. I make people do silly stuff, but I don’t try to take advantage of them onstage. I try to make it joyous.

           ;  Most students do a double take as they walk past the Viking-like, pajama pants-ed senior in the halls. Buly Buly ’10 is not the stereotypical MHS student. Despite what the long blonde hair and bushy beard would suggest, Buly is a dedicated musician, a collector and a cook, just to name a few. He is the class scrub who is actually not that scrubby.

Though some see the recent influx of Japanese restaurants on Mamaroneck Ave. as redundant and even a bit overwhelming, there is one new establishment that seems to rise above the rest.

Bill Homer hopped on his very first skateboard when he was eight years old. In middle school, he crafted his own skim-board, and by the time he was 14, Homer had begun surfing, his true passion, on the shores of his Virginia Beach home. After a career in corporate America, Homer has finally pursued his lifelong dream of opening a skate, surf and snow shop in our very own village of Larchmont.

There is no explanation I can provide for what occurred in the McClain Auditorium on Feb. 5. As one of the participants who danced, screamed and milked a cow onstage in front of the majority of the student body, I can honestly say that I was under the spell of hypnosis.
