Dear readers of The Roundup,
I think I had to pick a word to describe my involvement in The Roundup, that word would be “atypical.” Unlike the past Chiefs before me, I haven’t served on the student newspaper since my freshman or sophomore year. In fact, the only reason I joined the newspaper junior year was because Dr. Degen asked...
42-31-10 (92 points). That was the record for the 2014-15 Dallas Stars who failed to make the playoffs.

The Editor-In-Chief and the Managing Editor are essential in completing this task. They are, after all, the leaders of the newspaper, and The Roundup is...
On stage, a giant beacon of white light glows. It burns brightly for almost two hours, the seats in front of it slowly filling with zealous followers. When anticipation in the coliseum builds to palpable levels, the icon suddenly begins to rotate and display bizarre voodoo images reminiscent of American Horror Story: Coven. As the day turns into night, the...
I have a confession to make; I’m in love. The object of my affection, a charity by the name of HeartGift, helps children with congenital heart defects receive the care that they need. By raising money and funding a child’s transportation, surgical, and rehabilitation costs, sponsors at HeartGift ensure that kids have a second chance at life.

As on most Fridays, the students slowly marched to the Terry Center to attend normal Friday prayer service or mass. But the moment their chairs entered eyesight, each student knew something was different, and everybody was pleasantly surprised to find a rosary waiting for them.
On Friday, April 22nd, Campus Ministry led the school in saying the rosary, one of the most traditional acts in...
