Over the last couple of years its become a habit for underclassmen,
who dont have off campus for lunch, to have their parents bring them
lunch from various restaurants. Before the school year was started the
lunch group idea was disbanded by administration. Its unfortunate for
the underclassmen because lunch group really was a fun thing to be a
part of and probably helped keep the load of the entire Upper School
off of the Fischer Dining Pavilion during lunchtime. Im sure the stu-
dent body would like to see it back in the future.
Here we are in the 2013-2014 year and many of the printers around
the Upper School are still slower than my mile time which I assure you
isnt impressive. It seems as though the printers are either waiting until
the end of the world to print or have formed minds of their own and are
throwing their cartridges away to mess with us. There are few consistent
printers around the Upper School and it would be appreciated if their
were more effcient printers for everyone who spends much of their day
in the Upper School.
After the Upper School got rid of the old bell system that warned the school
of potential weather danger, the students were introduced to the PA system
that allows M
r. Slayton, head of security, to specifcally identify the hazard or
danger and voice it to everyone around campus. The new system features the
voice of a security guard directing the student body in a direction and tells
them where to go to ensure their safety. Its kind of scary to have a loud voice
come through the ceiling to tell us what to do in an emergency.
The Falcon Quill Online, directed by Garrett Podell 15, Kyle OBrien 14, and Robbie Stack-
house 14, was offcailly unveiled earlier this month. It features a great collection of stories and
videos about subjects pertaining to Upper School student life in the FW
CD community. The website
will also have updated sports scores from teams on the JV and Varsity levels after games, student
polls, and more timely news and feature stories. Visit www.falconquill.org weekly for new and up-
dated stories, and follow us on Twitter @
falcon_quill to fnd out when we update the site.
Bob W
ood, the long-term substitute for US History teacher SaraTeegarden while shes on
maternity leave, has been extremely popular with students during the frst three months of
school. At the beginning of class every day, he provides us with words of wisdom by either
using the letters of the alphabet or quotes from Regina Brett, Caroline Cameron 16 said. He
is not only a great teacher, but a person of inspiration for his students. W
ood looks out for his
students and makes sure they are always on top of their school work and having a good day as
well. He is one of the most approachable teachers to seek out for help on an assignment and is
always prepared to give great suggestions to help students.
Almost, M
aine was not your typical play, as it contained many vignettes of varying degrees
of relationships. The play was brilliantly performed, as all of the actors sold their characters ef-
fectively, especially the old married couple of Amanda Stephens 15 amd M
ichael W
ittman 14.
The play also walked the fne line of what is okay to show in a school productions as there were
some comical sexual innuendos between Branson Nelson 16 and Katherine D Souza 16. All in
all, the play was a masterful performance that showed that love comes in all different shapes and
sizes.
