    enthusiastic about the anthem, where all the students are in their gowns in desperation to end the singing. Soon after, the greaser gangs, who are known as the Burger Palace Boys or T-Birds in later adaptations, appear and recite their parody of the Alma Mater alongside the Pink Ladies. Whereas, in 2007’s Broadway revival, the play begins in a similar manner to the film adaptation. They introduce the main characters of Sandy and Danny and they show them romancing in their last day of summer together.

    asked to stand and sing with the choir the school song. And I remember thinking as I saw the words flash across on the projection, ‘I was not taught the words to our university’s song or even my Alma Mater back at my old high school.’ Then, I recalled my graduation when we were expected to sing our Alma Mater and no one, but the chorus students knew the words. After the first song, most of the students, including myself, took our seat. Immediately afterward, the director of the choir said for us to

    I had always enjoyed playing piano but was never dedicated to it which frustrated my piano teacher endlessly. She would tell me while I am a good player, I would be even better if I practiced. I never heeded her advice in the seven years she taught me. I never thought music would be taught formally to me after that. I was wrong. (1) I was talking to my best friend Caitlin one day about a meeting I had with an administrator to choose my classes for the following year. (2) “You have to join band

    name recognition. However, when they get to the university or college they will participate in the traditions. Not every student at Penn State knows the fight song or the alma mater.

Berreby states that “They’ll learn contempt for that rival university, Oklahoma to their Texas, Sacramento State to their U.C. Davis, Annapolis to their West Point” (Berreby

    In my previous class, I have read the McIntosh’s Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack that Deutsch draws inspiration from, and it was great to see how same thing was available for gender issues. To elaborate more, I was impressed on how Deutsch added more privileges after various feedbacks from people on the internet; however, I was not too pleased how the author did not use intersectional approach to write the checklist (since the McIntosh’s article portrays both being a woman and a white person).

In my opinion Mr. Solomon was trying to give back to his Alma Mater and his community. This fund that is being offered would be a great benefit for our children and their education at CHS.

    I always enjoyed playing piano, however, much to my piano teacher’s chagrin, I was not dedicated to practicing. She told me that while I was a good pianist, I would be even better if I practiced. Despite hearing the same advice for seven years, I never heeded it. (1) Since there were no music teachers at my previous high school, I believed music would never be taught formally to me again. A decision to transfer schools was made before the end of the first semester in my freshman year. That March
