QUASI-WEEKLY, THE REGULAR EDITION, ISSUE 4

  • This Quasi-Weekly will not spotlight a senior, since I do not have enough stuff on our next victim: Sarah Ames. Please submit any stories, jokes, insults, etc. that you have for her to me.
  • Spring Concert went really well. Vivaldi’s Gloria was incredible, it left me speechless. (That’s because I sang so loud I lost my voice, but that’s okay.) Everyone did really well, especially the soloists. Kim, Kathleen, Becca and Beth, great job!
  • Third Term grades closed Monday, so start calculating your averages and bribe amounts now. All Emerson house teachers are now accepting Mastercard and Visa, but they won't take American Express. Also, Whittier is having a "Bribe Two, Get One Free" special, and Hawthorne is featuring a convenient easy payment plan where you pay only $19.95 a month when you use "Tootie," available only through QVC.
  • Camelot is fast approaching! On deck for Quasi-Weekly featurement is Rob Killeen, who will be King Arthur Pendragon in the performance on May 1, 2, and 3. Everyone must go, it is sure to be an incredible show. So far, Craig MacKenzie hasn’t yet gone bald or grey-haired, although he did cut his hair Friday.
  • Guess what?!? April vacation is 2 weeks away!!!
  • There is now a Quasi-Weekly website! Unfortunately, none of the special fonts for certain people’s names are able to be used, but there will be some cool pictures of them up in the near future!

  • Jazz Band recently participated in the Berklee College of Music Jazz Festival. Scores have yet to arrive... Jazz Band also performed a concert and workshop in collaboration with Harvard University Jazz Band, Billerica Memorial High School Jazz Band, Methuen High School Rangers Jazz Ensemble, and Dracut High School Jazz Band. The concert was a lot of fun, and our very own Paul Johnson was crowned "guitar king" bringing Methuen's guitarist literally to his knees in awe with a kickin' solo, followed by an even better one played with the guitar behind his head!
  • Any nominations for future Quasi-Weekly featured seniors? Let me know! The next three editions will be: Sarah Ames, Rob Killeen, and Paul Johnson.
  • April Fools Day was commemorated this year in quite a way. Nature seems to have wanted to add to the pranks, resulting in a day off from school, much needed on my part.
  • That is all I have to say for today, and I'm sorry that it's been awhile, I've been busy. As always, all suggestions, comments, and other remarks can be directed to "Quasi-Weekly" c/o The Chorus Room, Far right spot, 2nd shelf up, Room 218 or "Quasi-Weekly", Locker A43, lockers between Hawthorne office and the Art room.

    Writer's Notes:
    The following notes were not included in the original newsletter. They are intended to explain to the reader some of what was meant by various items in the newsletter.
    At the time of publishing, I did not know that I would put out the Sarah Ames newsletter the next day, or the revised copy the day after that.
    Unfortunately, CHS teachers are not really bribable.
    April vacation begins April 11 after school ends that day.
    Jazz Band still has not gotten our scores back. Paul Johnson is our guitarist, who also plays the trumpet with the other bands and the orchestra. Also, Methuen's guitarist really did fall to his knees. I'm not kidding.
    On April 1st, Massachusetts was hit with a massive snowstorm, causing many schools to cancel their day, some for even a day or two after due to "unfavorable conditions."
    The addresses given refer to my "locker space" and locker. In the Chorus Room, 12 of us have a bookshelf that we have divided up into 12 spots, and we use them instead of our real lockers. It's easier that way. When I do use a locker, it's the one described.
    One of my email addresses used to forward mail to me is demona@deathsdoor.com. My page is also accessible by the address http://www.netforward.com/deathsdoor/?demona. However, if you click it, you will be brought to my main page.
