THE LAST FRONTIER

Rebecca Black has been taking the internet by storm this past week with her
month-old hit, “Friday”. Blowing Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus off the charts, Rebecca
black has become almost literally an overnight star. The brilliantly written, and
beautifully performed song had even Dr. John Padgett dancing in his seat.
We felt it necessary to pay the song homage in the Clarion, so that our readers
may also revel in its excellence.
The 13 year old from Orange County, Ca is no stranger to hardship as evidenced
by the age old dilemma presented in the song. “Which seat can I take?” Black sings,
probably alluding to the civil rights movement.
Black overcomes the conundrum with a little help from her “friend to the right” and
her producer and featured guest Patrice Wilson, a.k.a. Pato.
Also establishing herself as a leader. Black is sure to keep her fellow eighth grade
friends focused in situations where they might become so intoxicated or high on
narcotics that they forget what day comes next.
We at the Clarion simply cannot wait for a full length album from Black. We hope
the next single can explain the perplexities of weekdays or maybe magnets... How
do they work!?
IT'S... MOTHER HATOR-E?

American Hero
This week's American Hero is quite
unique, in that he's not American at all.
Monday, March 14, a video was posted
on Youtube that marked a historic day in
the modern era of ruthless bullying.
Casey Heynes, a meek, heavier than
average, student at Chifley College finally
had enough. Casey, has been teased
throughout his life and Monday was not
only the last straw, it was also the last
time he will be teased.
Casey stood up against his tormentor,
Ritchard, who resembled a drunk Nascar
fan trapped in a 15 year old's body.
Details are still unclear on the matter;
however, Ritchard limped away from the
fight under his own strength, despite
having a dislocated knee and an ego that
will never fully heal.
For standing up against oppression and
for slamming Ritchard into the pavement
harder than Gallagher slams mallets into
watermelons, Casey Heynes is this week's
(almost) American Hero.
