Harbinger Hosts First Student Poetry Slam by Courtney Budden

When I was in High School, I was the editor-in-chief of our school's literary magazine, Harbinger. In years past, the club of students that worked on the magazine only read and approved literature for publication. I wanted to make the group more active. One of the things we did to make that so was to host Poetry Slams. This article, which was printed in Crossroads, the school's newspaper, quotes me on the Poetry Slam.

Let the Voters and Readers Decide

This was a letter to the editor I wrote to my high school's newspaper, Crossroads. Basically I was saying that student government should deal with more substantial issues. I think I should have included better examples of what student government should do. Student government should deal with lowering tuition, fighting for student free speech, opposing the army recruiters in the cafeteria, and other progressive causes.

That Hand Thing with Fr. Bob

So I don't remember this, but apparently at some high school assembly, I did some goofy fist pump/handshake with our school's president, Fr. Bob. I probably intended it as a goofy way of mocking the seriousness and formality of school assemblies. It ended up in the May 25, 2001 issue of Crossroads, my high school's newspaper. Apparently it was considered the most memorable moment of the year. I still run into people I went to high school with at parties who remind me of that moment.
