Thoughts On Percy Jackson From A First-Time Reader

Posted on October 14, 2022October 13, 2022 by Paityn Tabor

Julia McGrath ’23 Staff Writer mcgrathjj@lakeforest.edu I don’t have many childhood memories related to the Percy Jackson series. What I do remember is how mad all my third-grade classmates were about the infamous film adaptation.

Everyone I knew had something to…

Isa Hinojosa ’25 A&E Editor hinojosaisa44@lfc.edu “Civility is the grease of democracy,” said former Colorado member of Congress David Skaggs, on his trip to Lake Forest College on September 20, 2022. Skaggs was accompanied by former member of Congress Jim Kolbe of Arizona. What was interesting about this pair? Skaggs served Congress as a Democrat, while Kolbe served as a Republican.

Jenn Arias ’23 Staff Writer ariasjri@lakeforest.edu Evan Peters perfectly encapsulates the creepiness and oddity of Jeffrey Dahmer in Netflix’s original “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” Premiering September 21, this limited series elaborately describes the horror of the 17 men that were dismembered (some of them eaten) as we walk through a timeline of the lack of construction that was Dahmer’s making. For Evan Peters, the acceptance of this role is no surprise to…

Dean Kousiounelos ’24 Staff Writer kousiounelosdm@lfc.edu A peer of mine, when asked if they would be interested in viewing the sun, replied to the question by exclaiming that they would not comply in freely burning their retina. To erase the belief that I would have them look directly at the sun, I eagerly relayed that Lake Forest College Astronomy Club was going to have a solar viewing through telescopes. The telescopes, of course, had a…

Opinion: Covid Broke Us

Posted on April 22, 2022April 21, 2022 by Paityn Tabor

By Lia Fiffles ’24 Opinion Editor fiffleslm@lfc.edu The United States has lifted their Covid restrictions, and it has brought us to a moment of reflection. Covid broke us. Seriously, there have never been more individuals than there are now that face societal distress so commonly. We are faced with situations in which we have lost the ability to understand how to properly act in response to them. Then there’s the fact that we witnessed millions…
