The Halloween party was a hit.
There weren’t many people
there, but it was still a joyous
experience. Many adults were
there to chaperone the kids.
The decorations were great!
There were spider webs
everywhere, a scarecrow, and
a smoke machine. There was
a ton of delicious food there.
There were cupcakes, a king
cupcake, ghost cake, brownies,
cookies, sodas, and other drink
products.
There was great
music, and many people
danced. The DJ (Mr. Dawodu)
even took music requests. It
was a night of great costumes,
food, music, and fun.

Baltimore Lab School Basket
ball
By James E.
I might be starting point
guard this year on the ball
team. On our basket ball teams,
we all try our best. Our coach is
Mr. Saran; he teaches us drills
we need like crossovers,
dribbling, and shooting. Also,
we practice chest and bounce
passes, for example. When we
play games Mr. Saran plays
with us. He always makes the
teams even and fair. If he can’t
do that we play games like
knockout and other games. We
work together to win a game. If
one of us has the ball, we’re not
going to be a ball hog. If we see
the open shot we’re going to
take, if not we’re going to pass
it to another player. We don’t
just stand there with the ball
and do nothing. We run, but we
don’t rush the shot. We slow it
down and take our time. If we
don’t have the ball we block for
our teammates. You can come
over and set a pick for a player
that needs help. When we lose,
sometimes people get a little
angry, but we get over it.
Sometimes we over do our
shots, get a little bit too out of
hand and take a shot that we
shouldn’t have taken.
Sometimes we can also get mad
at one another and we don’t
practice good teamwork. That’s
why we end up losing a game.
But, if we use teamwork and
good sportsmanship, we WIN!
Mac vs. PC
By Zach H.
Which do you prefer now, before
you read this article? I’m personally a
PC fan over Mac, even though I sound
like I’m against them. These are the
main differences between Macs and
PCs. Apple
advertises that
Macs never
get viruses
and never
crash, but in
reality Mac
isn’t as good
as you think.
Macs can get
viruses and
can crash, just
not as easily
as PC. So, the main difference is the operating system. Mac has a stricter operating system then PC, Mac limits what
you can do. PCs, on the other hand, let
you do anything you want.
Maybe you're thinking that Mac
doesn't look as good right now. Am I
right? However, because Apple limits
what you can do, that doesn't mean it’s
a bad product. Think of it like a pre-
made kit with everything you need, like
standard stuff. With its stricter operating system it has less of a chance of
catching viruses or crashing. So, all in
all, if you’re a not really a computer
person, this is a
pretty good system
to use. As far as
computers go,
Macs are adequate, but for music Mac is great. I
was actually listening to an Ipod
when I wrote this.
PCs is like a canvas; if you are a
computer person, you can do anything
you want with a PC. There are other
programs that can top the Mac art programs that make the system so popular.
PC does come with basic programs, but
you really don't need them. You just
need to know a lot more about computers, some are even offered for free.
But remember, PCs are more likely to
catch viruses then Mac, but it is easy to
get rid of them.

Illusions are pretty
cool. An illusion is an
image that deceives
you by having a false
or misleading reality.
This illusion is a group
of circles that appear
to be moving. Are
they moving? What
do you think?
This image looks
like its moving towards you. Your eyes
are making the pictures move. If you
look at one area for
long enough, it will
stop moving, but if
you move your eyes
from the image, it will
start to move again.
Did you know the
creator of I Spy is having an
exhibit? It will be at The
Walters Art Museum. It will
go from September 12 to
January 2. All you have to do
is buy a ticket. The tickets are
$10.00 to free, depending on
how old you are, and if you
are a member.
At the Baltimore
Museum of Art, they are
having an Andy Warhol
Exhibit. They will have many
pieces from his last decade of
painting. This will be the
exhibit of the season for the
BMA. The price varies from
$15 to free. The exhibit will
close at 3 on Christmas Eve.
