The James Logan Courier

Freshmen elections results were revealed last Friday to the student body after a week long of campaigning and voting amongst the freshman class.

This year was a little different from the rest because Ms. Walton, the school's activities director, decided to speak to the freshmen classrooms before announcing that elections were starting. By doing so it improved the outcome of freshmen campaigning to be elected for class office. Instead of having maybe two or three people going against each other for president, vice president, treasurer, representative or secretary there was a max of five people who ran against each other for each office position.

Give "Rise of Nightmares" an A for effort and an A+ for conviction. It marks a stark change of scenery (gruesome, story-driven horror instead of family-friendly minigames) for Kinect, it's the first Kinect game to give players full range of motion, and it takes both breakthroughs and runs pretty wild with them.

Far more subjective is the grade it deserves for execution. It might impress you, it might bewilder or aggravate you. Or it might make perfect sense, because if there's a genre where control inhibitions are an arguable asset, horror is it.

Though "Nightmares'" walking controls are predictably odd, the game — which plays out from a first-person perspective — at least makes them simple to understand. Standing still and facing forward keeps you still. Turning your torso left or right turns you onscreen, and putting a foot forward or backward and keeping it there sends you walking in that direction until you bring your foot back.

William Maxwell Evarts Perkins (September 20, 1884 – June 17, 1947), was the editor for Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe. He has been described as the most famous literary editor.

Perkins was born on September 20, 1884, in New York City, grew up in Plainfield, New Jersey, attended St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire and then graduated from Harvard College in 1907. Although an economics major in college, Perkins also studied under Charles Townsend Copeland, a famous teacher of literature who helped prepare Perkins for his career.
