It’s here, it’s there it’s everywhere, under tables, on the bottom of your shoes, in the turf and grass, lying in the hallways. Gum is now officially a school wide epidemic, making appearances in the sixth grade quad, and the seventh grade halls. Teachers all over the school are making announcements about this nuisance during class time and before lunch, taking up our valuable eating time. Stop the madness and throw away your gum. It’s not allowed here.
Also, cell phones. A new school rule prohibits cell phone use during school hours, so remember to keep your cell phones in your locker until the final bell rings.
Another thing, if you see papers lying around, pick them up and throw them away if they don’t belong to someone. Even though we have cleaning staff, they can’t be everywhere at once and it’s good to help them out once and awhile.
The new sports center is clean and pristine, but it won’t be for long unless we clean up some of the lockers. Just because it’s new doesn’t mean you have to trash it.
Menlo Athletic Center: A New Future
By Justin Kasser, Contributing Writer
The future of the Menlo School just took another huge step forward when the ribbon was cut to the new Menlo Athletics Center.
This amazing building, part of the Challenge Menlo program, will be the new middle school and high school gym. The Athletics Center was opened the 24th of August, and will mark a Menlo historic occasion. The day it was opened, a huge celebration was hosted by Menlo, serving mini hot dogs, free ice cream, and cupcakes. It was the day before Menlo would start classes, too.
As everyone filed into the new athletics center, the Menlo band was playing and the ceremony began. It started by all the sports players from all the different sports walking down the new gym floor, holding a banner with the sports name on it. Norm Colb, headmaster of Menlo school, then began his speech on the new gym. Many other individuals made speeches, too, and finally the ribbon was going to be cut.
Student council presidents Andreas Katsis and Jessica Juan cut the ribbon and the new Menlo school Athletics Center was open, one step closer to a better Menlo future.

September in Major League Baseball
By Davis Rich, Senior Staff Writer
This September, there are at least 3 races still open. In the NL, the West and
East division crowns are up for grabs. In the AL, the Rays and Yankees are fighting for
the wild card and the East crown. (As of September 14, 2010)
Locks: Texas will run away with the AL West, unless Oakland can make up 7 games in
25 days. But with Cliff Lee and Josh Hamilton injured, hope is still alive in the East Bay.
Minnesota has yet to completely take over the AL Central, but they are looking very
strong, and should take the Central. The Rays and Yankees should both get playoff
spots.
NL West: The Giants tied the Padres on top of the NL West after taking three of
four from the Padres in San Diego. The Padres snapped a 10 game streak, but
with Tim Lincecum pitching like an All-Star again, the Giants are in good shape.
NL Wild Card: The Braves recently fell out of first place, leaving the door open for the
Phillies, but they look like they will still win the Wild Card.
The Rockies had their 10 game winning streak snapped, but they had pulled within ½
game of the Giants and Padres.
