      On a foggy February morning, the pitcher fires a fastball over the white plate. Rotating his hips and hands quickly, the batter connects and sends the ball sailing into the outfield. The left fielder shifts his position and sprints back towards the flying projectile, determined to catch it in his glove. In a matter of seconds, however, the baseball...
      “Hands On” What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the words “Engineering Club?" Well, to members of the Jesuit Engineering Society, the first words that come to mind are “Hands On." The Jesuit Engineering Society was started at the beginning of 2013 by students who showed an interest in engineering but couldn’t do any extracurricular activities because of their...
      Abandoned in the dead of winter, one man crawls from his own grave to go in search for the man who murdered his son, barely grasping onto his life after a vicious bear encounter. Every movement pained by his scars as he hunts for the revenge he deserves. I entered the movie not wanting to be forced to watch gratuitous violence simply for the sake...
      Hanging stoically over students passing through the hallway between the senior and prayer courtyards, twelve new banners display the names and lifespans of the earliest Jesuits.

      After effortlessly faking a drive, dropping Kawhi Leonard, and pump-faking a three, Stephen Curry steps back and knocks down a contested jumper. This play would have made highlight tapes even if a lesser defender had been guarding Curry, but it was the leading candidate of Defensive Player of the Year Kawhi Leonard? The Lebron James stopper Kawhi Leonard? The "NBA's Best All Around Defender" Kawhi...
      Stepping into the MADI museum downtown, the surroundings appear more like a magic show than an art gallery. Loud, bold artwork explodes from every hidden crevice (even the restrooms). Young kids and adults alike play with shapes and create unique art on tablets adjacent to fifty-year-old art. Critics pace back and forth before each frame, gasping with shock before...
      Walking through the Terry Center here at Jesuit, one sees the many political cartoon drawings dedicated to Bill De’Ore ’65. The exhibit started on November 7th and will continue until late January of the coming year. Following the 50th Anniversary of his Jesuit graduation, De’Ore has given back to Jesuit with his time and art, providing Jesuit with many watercolor pieces...
