Mad Men, Modern Family dominate Emmy Awards
Rebecca Neumann Entertainment Editor Last Sunday, many tuned in to the Emmy Awards to see if their favorite shows would claim the coveted statue. Fans of Mad Men and Modern Family at least were not disappointed. The AMC hit drama claimed the title award, Best Drama Series, as well as a writing award, beating out Lost and the serial killer series Dexter. Modern Family also dominated their category, winning Best Comedy and Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Eric Stonestreet).

Seniors left their English classes to go to the lecture hall, where counselors presented a slideshow detailing the whole application process. They begun the program by introducting Naviance, a new program that CHS has recently incorporated that aids seniors and juniors through the college process.

Mind Numbing Concert Event
What was it that made the Green Day concert the fist pumping, heart stopping event of the summer? It could it have been anything between the ring leader of the show Billie Joe Armstrong and the deafening sound of music mixed with the shouts of the crowd and the explosion of fireworks. There was never a dull moment with Armstrong onstage to use his magic as an entertainer to rally up the crowd throughout the show. The concert took place August 26th at the Super pages center in Dallas. Impatience was well seen on the faces of the fans in the pit as they waited for the set crew to ready the stage for Green…
