Letters to the Editor
Is it harmless fun or harrassing hazing?
Dear Editor: Ever since our freshman year, all of the future classes have been banned from hazing or any bullying acts. I think we should be able to tag anyone, only on clothing and when it is not a harmful thing. Also, the seniors being able to wait out front for the underclassmen is a great thing. The School Board needs to lighten up on these things. As long as we don’t damage school property I think it’s not a big deal at all. On the other hand, if someone comes to a dance intoxicated I think they should be removed from that dance but not from any other dances. If it happened again, than you suspend them from prom, but they should give the person a kind warning and then take action on the second crime.
Will a post-Homecoming funk set in at Terrace?
Dear Editor: While I am incredibly excited and hopeful for the year, as it is homecoming, I fear that this sense of school unity will be diminished after the festivities end. Our school tends to be plagued with unnecessary division. We are separated into small schools and cliques. We need to look past these differences and get to know people for who they are. As people, it is our role to meet new people. If we only talk to our close friends, there will be missed opportunities to meet AMAZING people. So, in the spirit of homecoming, we need to unite as Terrace students!
Pep Band classroom raids may become another lost tradition
Dear Editor: It has come to my attention that the Pep Band can no longer raid classrooms. Although I never enjoyed doing the raids myself, the band students always had a fun time and the kids in the classrooms enjoyed it also. I understand that there was an accident last year, but it was just that, an accident. One mistake shouldn’t be a punishment for the years and the students to those years to come. Raiding classrooms was always a fun experience even though for me personally, was a complete and total embarrassment. It’s a fun tradition and should stick. Accidents happen. Learn from the mistake, please don’t simply eliminate it completely. There could be a lesser amount of students in each classroom, or “chaperone” type people. It is a fun and energetic way to express homecoming week! Let it be!
