Daphne’s Dilemma: Impending independence prompts rethinking of parental love

By Daphne Chen
I’m not the kind of person who usually tells her parents that she loves them.
In fact, I’m not sure it happens in many Asian families at all –  a cultural thing, I suppose, just like the way we don’t talk much during dinner or interact much during the day. I sometimes joke that [...]

CHS Technology: An investment in our future

By: Renee Rohani
Business Manager
When I was in sixth grade, logging in to the school server was a 10-minute procedure. Today, students at CHS work on their laptops in class and complete projects on Macs all with a few simple clicks.

Hughes tells tale as old as time

By Loren Hughes
Staff Writer
I feel old.  Not only is my hair graying, but I’ve also noticed extensive wrinkles on my forehead and a stiffness in my legs I can’t seem to shake.

This year, my family finally entered the 21st century. After pleading with my father, we’ve at last attained a state of technological advancement, with an LCD flat-screen TV, iPods and other new equipment requiring less manual effort than computer effort.

Tattoos aren’t just for rock stars nowadays

They have been called body modifications and taboos, but the usual word among society is tattoos. Though the names used for them might be different, the responses they evoke hardly vary.
