For a game that was nearly cancelled, Blair ace Annie Denenberg made sure that the fans that stuck through the rain got to see a memorable performance Friday night. Denenberg threw the first no-hitter since 2003 and the Blazers rolled to a 6-0 victory over the Walter Johnson Wildcats, just another chapter in what has been a remarkable stretch out of the gate for Blair, which is now 5-0 on the season.
For the first 12 minutes of play in the varsity Boys Lacrosse game on April 6, the match remained scoreless. Both the Blazers and their Einstein opponents had trouble capitalizing on their offensive opportunities. However the second quarter saw a surge in Blazer play as they pulled ahead to lead 3-1 in the half and set the tone for a game in which they emerged victorious 4-3 over the Titans.
Starting next school year, some Blazers will begin to use computer simulations in their biology, physics and earth science classes as part of a $2 million dollar study that is sponsored by the National Science Foundation that will last two years. The research is a cooperative effort with school systems in Tennessee and Iowa.
With the passing of Pope John Paul II, President George W. Bush has emphasized that he supports the late Pope's vision of a "culture of life." Interesting, seeing as the Pope had often criticized the President's humanitarian policies. Why would he do such a thing?
The Bush administration has decided to reject the Government Accountability Office's (GAO) opinion that government-produced news stories constitute illegal and unethical propaganda. The videos in question look like real news stories and are distributed to local news stations across the country and run without any disclaimer that they are produced by the government.

When I wrote a column last fall about the Boston Red Sox winning the World Series, it was cheesy, sentimental, and, in my mind, right on about how all of New England got an 86-year-old monkey off their back. Last night in St. Louis, another primate needed a new home as North Carolina coach Roy Williams finally coached a team to a College Basketball National Championship.
James Lee serves to Damascus.
Blair's coed volleyball lacked its lead setter going into a match against the Damascus Hornets, one of the strongest teams in the county. But after a slow start, the Blazers adapted to problems caused by the absence and overcame the Hornets 3-1.
A boy skates up to the stairs, gliding back and forth as he approaches the concrete structure. He jumps. His skateboard and body soar over the short flight of steps. Effortlessly, he lands the jump and skates off. Another boy jumps up and grinds down a curb. Skater after skater jumps, grinds and performs tricks off various pieces of urban landscape.
The Washington Post Magazine selected Blair as one of the "30 exceptional public and private high schools from across the [Metro] region" on Sunday, April 3.
Many people, including Blazers, say they are not prejudiced, but, in fact, they are, according to recent results from Implicit Association Tests (IATs).

"My favorite video game is Metroid Fusion. This game is probably the most engaging action game I've played that doesn't have any blood or gore. Another reason I love this game is that it takes about two to three hours to beat the game, but to completely max it out, you need about two more hours. After that, it's fun to just sit around, shooting everything in sight." -freshman Malcolm Foley

Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos dragged out his media rights battle with baseball and the Washington Nationals down to the last week before Opening Day. And while he may have emerged as a winner with a sweet TV revenue deal, any fan just wanting to watch Nationals baseball this year is a big loser.
"Over the summer I read this novel and I must say, it is one of the few books with lots of writing that I actually wanted to finish. Lots of controversy surrounds this novel due to the excessive use of the N-word. If a single book is going to be condemned because of a bad word, they may as well remove all books from the curriculum. The truth is, these books are historically accurate in the environment setup, and in order to show our history we must show the truth, and the truth is ugly." -freshman Daniel Quang
Certain hallmark events characterize the average Blazer's life: getting stuck with that awful teacher, finding out the vending machines don't sell Snickers bars, admiring the teddy bears on the disposable towels in P.E. and getting spammed by obscure colleges.
