The Record - Volume 46, Issue 2

By George Ahlering ’16Editor LouFest is an annual 2 day music festival held on Central Field in Forest Park. Founded in 2010, LouFest has become a sort of tradition in St. Louis, steadily growing in attendance every year. 2015 meant new heights for the Festival, including a wider variety of acts, from hip-hop to folk music. LouFest featured both local acts (Pokey LaFarge and Clockwork) as well as national acts (Hozier, Ludacris, and Billy Idol). Even if music isn’t quite your thing, there is something for you at LouFest. The Nosh Pit featured some top-of-the-

line St. Louis food such as Sugar Fire BBQ, Dewey’s Pizza, Mission Taco Joint and Strange Donuts.

There’s even a LouKids section just for the young ones! 2-Day passes are only $55 in May, quite a deal for 34 concerts in two days. Plus, the tickets are General Admission, so you can be where you’re

comfortable, whether that is the front row, or on a picnic blanket across the field.

2015’s lineup was criticized when released- many didn’t think it was as strong last years, which featured the likes of Portugal The Man, The 1975, and The Arctic Monkeys . However, every single act came out

strong and pleasantly surprised concert-goers. Nico & Vinz, a duo from Norway, were the most surprising act. Their b i g g e s t h i t , “ A m I Wrong” catapulted them to the spotlight in 2014. They came out energetic, on-point, and engaging, not missing a beat. The other major ‘winner’ of LouFest was Nate Ruess, lead singer of FUN. He played on Saturday afternoon and d id no t d i s appo in t . Ruess’ vocals are iconic and his own, unique style. All in all, LouFest 2015 was a huge success. With more than 50,000 in attendance, and a broad s p e c t r u m o f entertainment, everyone left smiling.

Background: The Record Weekly obtained LouFest Press Passes for the 2015 Music Festival. What follows is an interview with George Ahlering, who will be sent on assignment to LouFest to document the festival.

RECORD: What was your reaction when the Press Pass application was approved?

GEORGE: I got up, started screaming... high pitched screaming, and ran to

my mother. I hugged her. That was it.

RECORD: Who are you most excited to see at LouFest?

GEORGE: I am a big Taylor Swift fan, I heard she will be playing (sic). And you know... the bands.

RECORD: What are you going to be wearing to this, if I may ask?

GEORGE: I was thinking some Vineyard Vines, pink pants, lime-green shirt with a bow tie and

sport coat. I want to fit in with the scene, you know?

RECORD: If your credentials are called into question, what will you do?

GEORGE: First, I’ll ask them if they know who I am. If that doesn’t work, I’ll throw in that my dad will sue. A Priory classic.

RECORD: That’ll do it, thanks for your time.

GEORGE: Pleasure.

LouFest has a bright future ahead. Still considered a "newer" music festival, the only place it can go is up. The St. Louis community has reacted positively to the festival, which brings in millions in revenue to the local economy in just two days. LouFest brings a great array of entertainment to St. Louis and hopefully will begin to draw crowds from the entire Midwest Region and around the Nation. The founder of Loufest, Brian Cohen, says that in the coming years, LouFest is capable of expanding. He says that in addition to adding stages, they have plenty of

room to add more restaurant options in the Nosh Pit, more pop-up shops in Market Square, and a ultimately get a stronger lineup.

The production side of LouFest is well-equipped to handle the expansion as well. Fresh and Clean Media and C3 Presents, the companies that handle Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza, are well-c o n n e c t e d a n d w e l l -established within the Music Festival world.

On top of that, Forest Park is the PERFECT location for such an event . Largely considered a gem of St. Louis, Forest Park sits on the 1,300 acres of pristine land that is needed for such a huge event.

It is centrally located, in a moderately safe part of town. In proximity to Soulard, Clayton, Downtown, the Loop, Midtown and the Central West End (all major shopping and entertainment areas), LouFest is easily accessible from Highway 40

and effectively links all of St. Louis. On a larger scale, St. Louis is an ideal city for such a festival . Essentially the middle of the country, with Lamber t A i rpo r t a s an international hub, it is easily accessible from coast to coast. All in all, LouFest is the perfect annual event for St. Louis. In such a time of despair and division for our city, LouFest is the event we need to take a step back and unify through our common love for music. Music has been linking peoples and societies for thousands of years, now it is St. Louis' time to create unity through music, fun, and community.

“How old were you when you first met your father?” “I was sixteen.” “What changed in your life when you met him?” “I was sixteen. Up until then, being the man of the house was all I knew. I was in charge of my half-sisters, and I was the one who always had an answer for everything, even if I had to make it up. The first time I met my dad was the first time I saw true intelligence and true brilliance. It was the first time that I met someone who actually knew the answer to everything, and didn’t just have to make it up. It was the first time I realized that even wise, gentle people do things that cause heartbreak. I don't have a memory of my mother smiling, because he abandoned her when she was seven months pregnant. But everyone makes mistakes, and I am learning to forgive him.”

Syrian Refugees Activists call for the relocation of 60,000 Syrian refugees to St. Louis. City officials say 10,000 is a more realistic number. The EU is currently struggling with its refugee population, estimated to be over 100,000. Many European nations have expressed concerns regarding their abilities to sustain the people- it is being referred to by many media outlets as the “Syrian Refugee Crisis”.

Teenager Targeted A Muslim teen who was arrested without just cause for bringing a clock to school that school officials had believed t o b e a b o m b . A h m e d Mohammed, of Irvine Texas, was apprehended and placed in handcuffs for what turned out to be a homemade clock. Police say no charges will be filed. Those in the tech industry rallied behind the 14 year old, with Facebook C E O M a r k Z u c k e r b e r g declaring: "Having the skill and ambition to build something cool should lead to applause, not arrest. The future belongs to people like Ahmed."

GOP Debate Wednesday's GOP saw Carly Fiorina rise to the occasion- her direct criticism of frontrunner Donald Trump seemingly rallied the parties’s base against the real-estate mogul and reality TV star. 60% of GOP insiders polled declared her the winner of the debate. Her strong response to Trump’s misogynistic remarks (“I think women across the county heard loud and clear what Mr. Trump said.”) helped the image of a party frequently accused of waging a “War on Women”.

Apple Releases New ProductsHarry Lindmark ’16Staff Writer

Last Wednesday, Apple unveiled a number of new products that will be released in the coming months. The first of these products were two new iPhones: the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. T h e s e p h o n e s w i l l b e available in: gold, silver, rose gold, and space gray. The new phones are made with aircraft-grade aluminum and are less likely to bend. A d d i t i o n a l l y , A p p l e announced that the new iPhones will have 3D touch screens that can recognize

how hard you are pressing, and can tell if you are holding the screen down.

Next, Apple unveiled its new iPad Pro, which is a whopping 12.9 inches tall. The new iPad has a 10-hour

battery life and it is super thin. It weighs in at just over 1.5 pounds. Apple also came out with a few new designs for the Apple watch including a wrap-around brown leather Hermés band. Perhaps the most surprising new product unveiled by Apple is the Apple Pencil. This “pencil” is really just a fancy Apple stylus that is exclusively for the new iPad Pro. The Apple Pencil has tips as thin as ballpoint pens and it is designed largely with artists in mind. The new stylus can sense pressure and it is able to draw thicker or thinner lines based on the

amount of pressure applied. The pencil is a source of controversy among Apple fans because in 2010 Steve Jobs said, “If you see a stylus, they blew it.” The new stylus shows that CEO Tim Cook is confident in the path that Apple is taking, and is confident enough to disregard what Steve Jobs once said.

66 SportsFootball Update

By Patrick Gallagher ’16and Chris White ’16Football Staff Writers

You win some, you lose some. No one ever wants to lose, especially to a league rival. Unfortunately, that’s what happened to the football team two weeks ago against Burroughs. The Rebels entered the game without junior Christian Witte, due to a broken thumb. The Rebels fought hard the whole game, as they played with a tenacious attitude. Nick Monette had a nice catch on a 65 yard play that set up Connor Donnelly for a touchdown. Connor Donnelly had 95 hard-earned yards in the game. The offense had flashes of life throughout most of the game, but senior quarterback Andrew Rund was hobbled by an ankle injury, which eventually forced him out of the game.

Sophomore Jack Wagner received a lot of varsity action. He caught three passes for 42 yards. Winston Senor impressed late in the game. He had 6 carries for 35 yards offensively and also had a few big hits on the defensive side of the ball.

Priory played their fourth game of the year against Lutheran North last Saturday. The team knew it would be a tough game, especia l ly considering the loss of their

captain, Andrew Rund, to an ankle injury. The Rebels came out strong in the first quarter, holding the Crusaders to only one score and moving the ball well offensively. The game went downhill after that. The Rebels let up 50 points and were unable to score. Lutheran North was able to run the ball well due to their whopping average l ineman weight of 275 pounds (compared to Priory’s 210 pounds). Aqeel Glass, the Crusade r s qua r t e rback , r e s e m b l e d N a p o l e o n Dynamite’s Uncle Rico as he threw for four touchdowns and 300 yards. The Priory defense was led by senior captain, Colin Croghan, who had a career-high 20 tackles and an unheard of 2 forced fumbles. The Rebels s h o w e d d e t e r m i n a t i o n , courage, and a never-give-up attitude as they shut-out

Lutheran North in the fourth quarter. The Rebels will take on the their longtime rival, Mary Institute and Country Day School, on Saturday at 1:00 pm. Since the last theme was so graciously adhered to (thanks guys!) there will be another theme, “preppy”. So please dress like any MICDS young man you may know or t h a t y o u m a y h a v e encountered. Our theory is that if you blend in with their fans and cheer for us, the MICDS team will think their fans have abandoned them and further give up hope of winning. The Rebels need fans to come out and build the “Rebel Spirit Meter” so they can regain a record above five hundred percent. Also please bring any and all instruments you have to the game.

hopeful scored 4 touchdowns and racked up 285 yards. #17 ranked Oklahoma came back and beat #21 ranked Tennessee by a score of 31-24 in front of 102,000 fans.

for Notre Dame, bringing the final to 34-27. # 1 3 L S U b e a t # 2 4 Mississippi State with a score of 21-19. LSU star running back Leonard Fournette had 3 touchdowns and 159 yards.

In the annual St. Dominic Tournament, the R e b e l s f a c e d a historically strong St. Dominic team (T 2-2), as well as Holt (L 1-2), and Fort Zumwalt East(W 6-2). Priory finished with a 1-1-1 record for the tournament (Notable goals: D. Ahlering-1; M. Ciapciak-3). Drew Ahlering came through when the Rebels needed it with a left-footed,

bending shot. It was truly a goal for the ages.

After a quick turn-a round , the Rebe l s squared off against Duchesne in a thrilling match. Goalkeeper Drew S e w a l l h e l d t h e opposition to two goals before making the game-winning stop in penalty kicks. Junior Mark Ciapciak managed yet another goal as the Rebels cruised to a 5-2-1 record.

Shortly after, St. Mary’s meandered their way down to the varsity soccer field only to find

themselves trying to fight back from a 2-0 deficit (goals: Ciapciak-1; St. M a r y ’ s O G - 1 ) . Fortunately, the Rebels were able to hold them off and retain the lead.

An opponent far superior to any the Rebels have faced thus far, DeSmet took the field Monday looking to earn an easy victory, but the Rebe l s weren’t having it. Scoring early off a cheeky header from Sophomore Cha r l i e B e r n s , P r i o r y w a s comfortably handling the n a t i o n a l l y r a n k e d

opponent. The game would ultimately go into overtime and penalty kicks and the Rebels would fall to a 3-2 loss. Though the Rebels may have outplayed DeSmet, they were not able to pull out the well-deserved win.

Varsity Sport Updates Soccer Update

Cross Country UpdateBy Jake Drysdale ’16XC Staff Writer After a summer of h a r d t r a i n i n g , t h e Running Rebels are back in full form for the 2015 campaign! After an August tune-up race and a tough 5K in the heat and humidity at Jefferson Barracks, Priory was ready to take on a new Forest Park course and fast field! The Varsity squad ran against more than 250 h i g h l y c o m p e t i t i v e runners from 32 teams from 3 states, including district rival Westminster and powerhouse program Freeburg from across the river. Priory ran without one of the team captains, Kyle Flores, but Varsity soccer players George O’Sullivan and Drew Sewall stepped up to the challenge for their first race of the season.

Running inspired, the Rebels gave both great team and individual efforts. Priory’s Varsity team seized 4th place -- finishing ahead of quality s q u a d s s u c h a s Westminster, Freeburg, and Whitfield -- and captains Jake Drysdale and Thomas Lowell medalled as Top 30 finishers. Jake Drysdale ran 17:07 to take 11th

p l a c e a n d T h o m a s Lowell finished 29th in a time of 17:33. Luke Lissner (17:49), Drew Sewall (18:17), George O’Sullivan (18:32), and Alex Lowell (18:45) all ran great races to break 1 8 : 4 5 . E m e r g i n g sophomore Anthony O’Sullivan ran a PR of 19:00 flat and Andrew Latuda also ran a PR in 19:17. JV ran earlier at 9:30

i n t h e m o r n i n g , competing well to finish

7th out of 39 teams. Shout out to sophomore G r e g R o l w e s a n d freshman Joseph Pollnow for great individual efforts to medal in 16th a n d 2 0 t h p l a c e respectively!

Junior School MixerByThomas de Wolff ’20Staff Writer N e x t F r i d a y , September 25th, is the first Priory Junior School Mixer. None of the new seventh graders have been (I can name a few eighth graders who haven’t either), so it is important to explain the significance of this season’s most important social event. T h i s m i x e r i s a g r e a t opportunity to meet girls

from schools like Visitation and Villa Duchesne, see Harry Thome and Luke Kraemer show off their smoking moves, and witness Mr Bander demonstrating the proper usage of a hinge joint while he does “The Whip”. The mixer is where we get to see who will replace Eddie Griesedieck as the “Big Daddy Lady Killer”. We will also find out who has the best aim for chucking glow sticks

at the DJ’s. Contrary to what Nick Murphy wants you to think, Thatcher Eiseman has the most ladies’ numbers from mixers, with his record standing at 60-70 from Priory mixers last year, and an overall total of over 650 at last count. Warning: Ian Crossey will put you all to shame if you challenge him to a dance battle. The music is almost always over 75 decibels, which is

great if you are awkward at talking to girls- they won’t really hear your mistakes. They’ll just hear “I go to Priory. I am the smartest and handsomest of all boys in St. Louis.” They will swoon into your arms. It has totally happened to me before. So come one, come all, to the annual Fall Mixer. If you’re lucky, you’ll see Father Francis breakdance using his crazy ninja skills!

Triple OrdinationIan Crossey’20Staff Writer

On Saturday, Sept. 12 the Abbey of Saint Mary and Saint Louis held a triple ordination of three priests. The teachers or friends that you have previously known as Brother Aidan, Brother Cuthbert and Brother John entered the order of the priesthood. The last ordination at the Abbey was two years ago and the candidates were Father Francis Hein and Father Cassian Koenemann, and there has never been a t r i p l e o rd ina t ion prev ious ly a t the abbey. Archbishop Robert Carlson led the service. Fathers Aidan, Cuthbert, and John can now celebrate Mass and other sacraments, as well as hear confessions.

“I was overwhelmed,” said Father Aidan when asked what he was thinking during The Promise of the Elect. “I was a little nervous when processing up, but after that I was good,” concluded Father Aidan.

Three junior school students served during the ordination. Thommy Messemer an eighth grader held the miter (hat) of the archbishop; Jack Wagner another e i g h t h g r a d e r h e l d t h e archbishop’s crozier (staff); and Michael Rashford, a seventh

grader, held one of the torches processing into Mass. After the ordination all of the candidates came back to the main sanctuary to give their first blessings, which give you a plenary indulgence. This means that all of the time you have banked in Purgatory so far in your life will be erased and you will get a clean slate.

Overall the Saint Louis Priory School and Abbey have three more priests who we all know, love, and pray for.

NFL Week 1 RecapStephan Rashford ’19Staff Writer

With all of the Fantasy Football talk going on for the last month I’m sure everyone was ready for the season to be underway. Here are some of the highlights from week 1 in the National Football League. The New England Patriots got their All-Star QB, Tom Brady, back from suspension just in time to open up the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Pats racked up 28 points with Brady c o n n e c t i n g w i t h R o b

Gronkowski in the end zone three times. The Steelers made it closer at the end but the Patriots prevailed, 28-21. The Rams may be bound for L.A. next year but they sure were impressive at home on Sunday. The St. Louis Rams bes t ed the Sea t t l e Seahawks in thrilling fashion, with a 34-31 OT victory. The Rex Ryan era kicked off with a 2 7 - 1 4 t h r o t t l i n g o f t h e Indianapolis Colts by the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Andrew Luck, the Indianapolis Colts QB, looked pretty lousy, throwing for two interceptions

and getting sacked twice. The Atlanta Falcons outperformed the Philadelphia Eagles, 26-24. The Falcons opened up a large lead and were up 20-3 at halftime. Julio Jones caught 9 passes for 141 reception yards and two touchdowns. The Dallas Cowboys completed a late game comeback to boost themselves over the New York Giants. The Giants led for almost the entire game but fell short in the last seven seconds, 27-26. The San Francisco Giants finished up the week by domina t ing the Minnesota Vikings 20-3. Carlos

Hyde led the charge rushing for 168 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. Other teams that improved to 1-0 include: Green Bay, Kansas City, Carolina, New York Jets, Miami, Arizona, San Diego, Denver, Cincinnati, and Tennessee. James Jones was one of the most added players in fantasy football this week. After 17.5 fantasy points off 69 r ecep t ion ya rds and two touchdowns be sure to check if he is still available in your fantasy league as he could really benefit you later in the year.

English Premier League UpdatePatrick Milburn ’17Staff Writer Five games into the season, Arsenal possess their coveted seat in 4th place, Chelsea are pushing the relegation zone, and Leicester City are in second. Leicester's exceptional start takes many soccer followers by surprise, as they don't have a great squad on paper and finished 14th last year. This past Sunday, Aston Villa were beating Leicester 2-0 in the 60th minute and it looked as if it would be the first loss of the season for the foxes, until these crucial players came

into play for Leicester to pull out a 3-2 win. Riyad Mahrez - A thorn in Villa's defense for the entire afternoon with his pace, s k i l l s , a n d c r e a t i v i t y. Although he didn't find himself a goal, he got 2 assists and was essential in dragging Leicester back from the brink. After Nathan Dyer was subbed on for Shinji Okazaki at halftime, Mahrez was moved into a more central position so Dyer could play the right wing, which is where he really started pulling the strings of the offense. Jeff Schlupp - Plain and simple, whenever Schlupp

had the ball in the second half the defense was in danger. When he got it near the middle of the field with acres o f s p a c e i n f r o n t , h e resembled Raheem Sterling how he sprinted directly at the defense at high speed. These attacks in the middle along with his overlapping runs down the flank made him a key part in the Leicester comeback. Nathan Dyer - An ex-Tottenham player, Dyer is known to have one primary attribute: pace. This happens to be his only attribute, since his dribbling and crossing often disappoints. However,

when subbed on at halftime, he beat his defender countless times and created a plethora of quality chances at goal. To top it all off, he scored the winning goal off a header in the 89th minute. That's right, 5 foot 5 Nathan Dyer scored a header. Team of the Week:Goalkeeper - ButlandDefenders - Galloway, Stones, Blind, de LaetMidfielders - Hoolahan, Payet, Barkley, MahrezForwards - Vardy, Naismith Honorable ment ions: Bellerin, Schlupp, Mason, Walcott

Fashion (Fall Look-book)Jake Tottleben ’16Staff Writer

It's 2015, can we all please take a vow to never wear boot cut pants again? Unless you're rolling up to school in actual cowboy boots I would strongly advise against a such a cut. Slim, Skinny or slim straight. Those are the only pant fits you should be looking for. As fall rolls around this is especially important. The weather gets cooler and so should your wardrobe. You can go one of two ways in the fall- my parents don't understand me or Connecticut Prep. The quintessential “parents don't understand me” look has a simple formula, is cheap, and generally looks good if you are an“edgy teen.” With this l o o k i t s i m p o r t a n t t o remember that even though Kurt Cobain is dead, that

poster of him on your wall isn't. This look requires three general aspects- shirts, pants, and shoes. Flannel shirts are the key to your wardrobe. I like to buy my flannel a size or two up- this gives the look the extra spice of grunge you need in order to say that you were truly born in the wrong generation.

The next key aspect of this look is leg wear. Jeans are your best friend, and are versatile and come in almost every style and color. I recommend a slimmer fit jean to complement a larger flannel. Any brand of jeans

work, but I recommend Levis- 511s or 510s. Next are your shoes. For high tops boots and sneakers work very well. As far as boots go I recommend dark brown derby boots (Aldo carries a pair that run around 80 dollars). For sneakers your best bet is converse which can be found in pretty much any shoe store. Low tops work best if they are black or white so that they can go with anything. An excellent low top is Adidas' Traid shoes in white. The most important thing to remember about this look is to not wear a beanie; it can kill your whole outfit. If this isn't the look for you don't fret- there is an option for those of you who live a life of more sophistication and prefer a cleaner cut look. I call this one Connecticut Prep. The most important part of this look is the blazer (I

recommend navy or brown for color). Your going to want a form fitting blazer so if you have the time I recommend seeing a tailor for this. After your blazer you're going to need a shirt to go under it. A clean button up will do the trick. Its important to avoid intricate colors and designs and to stick with something simple. You can take it up a notch by putting a thin sweater over your button up and under your blazer. I recommend something that matches your blazer. Banana Republic chinos come in every fit and look great. Buy these in darker colors to offset your brown blazer. Lastly, go for boots as your footwear- the aforementioned Aldos will do the trick.

On Tuesday, Sept. 15, Fr. Ralph and 17 Priory students embarked on a journey to Jefferson City. We set out at about 12:30pm and arrived around 2:30pm. We were all well prepared for a rowdy rally thanks to the glorious limo party bus provided by Fr. Ralph. But in all seriousness, we were there for a very important reason: to acknowledge and rally against the reopening of an abortion clinic in Columbia, Mo. near the campus of Mizzou, which

a l r eady ave rages twen ty abortions a day. Our first assignment was to walk around the rally and get signatures from the general crowd, and possibly the state legislators present. We had them sign a petition and a few other documents concerning the issue. After collecting signatures, the rally truly began. We listened to many heart felt speeches from S t a t e S e n a t o r s a n d Representa t ives who had previously attended the Senate hearing on The Sanctity of Life hours earlier. Sen. Bob Onder; father of Priory grad Robert Onder, was one of those

Senators who spoke at the rally. We heard from two students at Mizzou who were truly appalled a n d d i s a p p o i n t e d i n t h e university’s association with this clinic.

We also heard a beautiful speech from our very own, Fr. Ralph. In between every two or three speeches, we would chant from the second level of the rotunda. Some of our chants

were: “MIZ-ZOU, WE LOVE BABIES HOW ABOUT YOU!” and, “ HEY HEY HO HO, PLANNED PARENTHOOD HAS TO GO.” The rally ended shortly after 5:00pm and we headed home. Overall, the trip was an uplifting and empowering experience filled with love and concern for the unborn. We hope that many of you join u s i n f o r m i n g a s t r o n g brotherhood that respects and protects life, so join the Respect Life Club Today!MEETING 2ND X IN ROOM 204 TODAY!

Welcome back, everyone. Another summer is now in the rear-view window. And with that, another summer movie season has come to pass. This past summer was particularly interesting for film. It seemed that every week, another massive studio was launching its attempt at an over-budgeted franchise blockbuster laden with computer generated imagery and generally little-to-no real substance. Most of the end results were beautiful disasters exemplifying what’s wrong with Hollywood’s love of blockbusters (look no further than the likes of Fantastic Four and Terminator Genisys for a small sample size). But other, smaller films slipped between these massive releases and provided hope for the future of summer movies. So let’s focus on these, the few, p roud t i t l e s tha t o ffe red something to chew on long after initial viewing. Enjoy! 3. Dope Never heard of this movie? Not surprised. I’m really that hipster (adjusts glasses).

In all seriousness, this is a movie literally no one I’ve talked to has seen, due to its limited release in theaters following popularity at Sundance and general lack of marketing. The latter is especially surprising, considering some A-List talents were attached (Zoe Kravitz, A-$AP Rocky, Forest Whitaker, and Blake Anderson), and Director Rick Famuyiwa is in talks to direct Marvel Studios’ upcoming Black Panther film adaptation. The movie itself is by far the most original film I’ve seen all year. It is in fact so original that it is hard to compare it to any other film I have seen. I guess the best description I can come up with is Ferris Bueller and the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air had a bizarre lovechild, and raised said lovechild on the rough streets of Inglewood, where he was taught how to sell drugs, perform manic punk music, and play too much Super Nintendo. Sound super weird? It totally is and it’s amazing. It is both funny and dramatic, crazy and grounded, and overall the Best John Hughes movie not made by John Hughes. For those uninitiated in this film’s vocal

cult following, please go support this movie. It absolutely deserves your money, and is in fact, dope, as the title would suggest. 2. Mad Max: Fury Road I thought pure action movies were dead. I thought that the future of action filmmaking was to be dominated by those vapid Transformers films; overlong, uninteresting flicks about old guys shooting dudes; and superhero movies. Mad Max: F u r y R o a d p r o v e d m e completely wrong. Knowing the vast majority of my audience is adolescent boys who have never heard of Mad Max, allow to me address you directly: all other action films do not matter. Mad Max: Fury Road revives a phenomenal series from the 80s with more life than anyone thought the now 70 year-old George Miller still had left in him. This movie proves that action filmmaking can not only provide fun romps, but true works of art. Every shot, every P R A C T I C A L ( n o t C G I ) explosion, every stunt or act of chaos could be hung in a museum to be admired for years to come. This gorgeous piece of beautiful insanity is a treasure, a

rare find in today’s ever-growing culture of unoriginality and bloated affairs. 1. The Gift Like Snowpiercer from last year, this is another film that I am unable to speak about to a huge extent without spoiling too much of the film. What I can say is stars Joel Edgerton, Rebecca Hall, and (surprisingly) Jason Bateman deliver Oscar-worthy performances in one of the best thrillers I have ever seen. Unlike the previous two entries on this list, this is a dark, haunting drama about how one’s past can affect their future, and how everyone has a secret to hide. This is not the movie it has been marketed as. It is a surprising and twisted tale of revenge that is not for the faint of heart. For those who can stomach this remarkable product from first-time writer and director Joel E d g e r t o n , a “ g i f t ” o f mesmerizing cinema is waiting. And that is where I will leave you. Next time, we will be discussing the other end of the spectrum...

Top 3 Movies From This Summer

Football: The Holiest SportTejas Sekhar ’17Staff Writer

Ahh, football, America’s favorite past time. The NFL season started up again this past Sunday, Sept. 13. What better a time to get baptized? Now, you must be thinking I’m crazy. How does the Sacrament of Baptism have any relation to football? If anything, they seem like polar opposites. Right? In one, you unite yourself with God in a way that traces its roots back to when Jesus Christ himself instituted

Baptism. In the other, well… you risk your life for a sack of leather. But apparently the people at Villa Rica High School in Georgia thought they would go together well. Pastor Kevin Williams of the First Baptist Church of Villa Rica baptized eighteen high school football players and one coach in the school’s football stadium.

The Freedom From Religion group immediately sounded the alarms about the mass Baptism, filing a complaint with the Carroll County School District. An investigation was launched into the matter to see if any laws were actually broken. The Freedom From Religion group has even gone as far as calling the mass Baptism a violation of the First Amendment.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with a group of football players and their coach getting baptized. In fact, I find it great that they are all coming together as a group and seeking God. But fact of the matter is, in public institutions, religion and the state must remain separate. There are too many religious groups and cultures in America to allow for the mixing of state and religion. Although the intention of the coach and players at Villa Rica High School was not malicious, it was poorly executed.
