Halfway into the second week of the last quarter of the school year, it is evident that most students around Logan are anxious at the thought of summer. For seniors, however, there may be a range of mixed emotions, from excitement about the upcoming prom, Grad Night, or simply graduation, to anxiety about leaving home and long‑time friends, and going off to college.

For some, the approach toward the end of the school year has been something they’ve been waiting for practically the whole year.

“I can’t believe the fourth quarter’s already here! I’m ready to graduate,” said Karla Estabillo, 12.

There was a day when a couple of 11-year-old kids decided to leave everything they knew and had behind, to chase their common dream.

Seven years, four number one hit solos, and three number one albums later, Tokio Hotel, The biggest act to come out of Germany in 20 years, has unarguably conquered Europe (yes, the continent) and is bringing the pandemic to the States.

As short hairstyles become progressively more popular, students who don’t make the cut are finding ways of putting their locks to good use.

Teenagers are swarming to hair salons who work with the public, non-profit organization Locks of Love to donate their hair toward the making of all-natural wigs for financially disadvantaged children under the age of 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

The biggest pop hit of the year — Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" — is not a love song. Nor is it a kiss-off to an ex-lover or wannabe boyfriend, even though the refrain goes: "I'm not gonna write you a love song `cause you asked for it."

No, it's a slap at her record company, for rejecting her songs while offering no artistic direction.

There still are people with an affection for newspapers. Some are actually young people. Perhaps "The Paper," a new reality series on youth-oriented MTV, will expand this base.

Set at Cypress Bay High School in Weston, Fla., "The Paper" follows the staff of the student newspaper, The Circuit, from the spirited competition for the position of editor in chief last spring to the mundane but challenging efforts to get out the paper each month.
