The Epic Straw Tower

It was time for the annual straw tower competition at MVGS. Everyone was scrambling to make the tallest tower out of straw. One group, however, went a different direction- one that MVGS had never seen before.

It was desperation. It was genius.

"Everything was going wrong for us- nothing according to plan. When the one minute warning came, we didn’t have anything ready. Malec yelled 'Quickly, cover me!' and we stuffed him with balloons. It was pure intelligence." -Yazan

Here is the aftermath of this event:

An Apple Tree

She waLked

Into the realm of the unknown 

Knowing that she’d find only darkness.
She walked through fright and fear
For a reason incomprehensible
Through struggles indescribable
Some asked why
SOme asked where
But she only walked
Until the very last moment
Until she came upon a hill
A hill of perspective
And as she climbed
She saw the light within the darkness
Coming from a distance,
At the end of her View.
There stood an apple tree
A tree mature and divine
With a man sitting at its roots
Waiting, as she approached
And He, without a hello
Held hEr in his arms.

Kinetic Photography

So, it's getting close to midnight and we're running down to Wendy's because we're cravin' some Frostys, and I had read some stuff about kinetic photography, so on the way there, I decided to try it. And here's how it turned out:

And I've got just one thing to say:

                                      

  WHOA!
