  • North Drama Club Glows in “Radium Girls”

    Back to Articles News Back to Sections North Drama Club Glows in “Radium Girls” Cody Sung Volume 4 Issue 2 January 16, 2024 Image Provided by Amy Italiano North’s Drama Club presented Radium Girls which ran on the cafeteria stage for three performances from Friday evening, November 17 to Saturday evening, November 18. Described as a “powerful” and “engrossing” drama by critics, it follows the early 20th-century story of young women who applied radium to watches under the belief that it was a substance with no harmful side effects. In time, the devastating side effects in fact wreaked havoc on their bodies, leading to a major lawsuit against the US Radium Corporation, the company that employed them. The play begins with the girls working at a radium watch factory owned by the US Radium Corporation. They cleaned the radium-covered brushes with their mouths under the impression that it was safe – after all, Marie Curie, played by Zaida Ayestas, had told them so. However, after a few years, the girls begin to fall ill stemming from a jaw condition – this leads to one of the girls, Irene, played by Gianna Perlaza, dying. Irene’s two friends from the factory, Grace, played by Isabella Mascetti, and Kathryn, played by Quinn O’Connor, question the factory and its owner, Arthur Roeder, played by Rachel Ezeadichie, over the mysterious deaths of Irene and other girls from the factory. While they begin to question the radium factory, Grace and Kathryn begin to fall ill themselves. This only heightens their suspicions about radium and its side effects. As more women die and the government begins investigating the plant, members of the press, played by Justin Levine and Carolina Caraballo, brings the story to national attention. Grace, driven by support across the country, begins the process of suing the US Radium Corporation, while the company scrambles to mitigate the reputational damage, hiring investigators and lying to the government about the results. The heightened pressures on Grace take a toll on her relationships with her boyfriend, Tom, played by Giancarlo Oliveri, and her mother, played by Laney Ching. Continuing to press on with her lawsuit, she rejects substantial cash offers from the press for exclusive coverage and from the US Radium Corporation to halt the suit. Eventually, the situation reaches a tipping point, with internal conflicts inside the company over the mismanagement of the crisis and the founder, Edward Markley, played by Bryce Sloane, revealing that radium is, in fact, extremely dangerous. The judge for the lawsuit, also played by Laney Ching, lets the lawsuit advance to a trial, despite the Corporation’s continued attempts to delay the trial. Eventually, the affected women and the US Radium Corporation reached a settlement for the company to pay each woman a substantial cash sum and to pay for their medical bills resulting from their radium illnesses. Grace returns to a more normal life, although she is severely debilitated. The performance was a masterpiece and captivated the audience’s attention and emotions throughout with the strength of the actors’ performances and the seamless work of the stage and tech crew. Dr. Small claimed that it “was a shining testament to the talents of the young actors and stage crew,” while Ms. Belbol, the English Department Chair, commented that the “performances were deeply emotional, leaving the audience in tears and in shock at this deeply troubling story in our American history.” A phenomenal job by the Radium Girls cast and crew!

  • REVIEW: John P. McCarthy takes a break from editing the Sports Section to watch (and rank) Disney Movies

    Back to Articles Entertainment & Media Back to Sections REVIEW: John P. McCarthy takes a break from editing the Sports Section to watch (and rank) Disney Movies By John McCarthy Volume 1 Issue 5 February 12, 2021 Image provided by Disney On January 4, 2021, I purchased a subscription to Disney Plus and have since ventured into all kinds of Disney movies. If you have Disney Plus, the original, Safety, is a must-see, but I digress as this piece is all about PIXAR. For my own amusement, I decided to rank all the movies I have watched in the past month. I decided to share my thoughts and give explanations on my top ten movies and why I believe they set themselves above the rest. However, I enjoyed every single movie and it was very tough placing movies low on the list. My full list of all 23 PIXAR films is at the end. Watch out for SPOILERS! 10. Soul The latest PIXAR installment sets up a funny, ironic story of the circle of life with 22. Her journey with Joe Gardner shows the importance of life and selflessness to give others a chance at living their dream. Gardner learns that his love for jazz is his dream, and he got so close to playing with one of the greats, Dorothea Williams. As Gardner and 22 move through life in ways they never have, each of them learn that life is a gift itself. 22 finally gets her first shot at her own life, after Gardner is able to get 22 to earn her elusive Earth badge, and Gardner, by the grace of Terry, despite Jerry, gets another shot at life on Earth. Soul depicts a nice narrative based on learning the true privilege it is to live. 9. Cars 2 As the only sequel in my top 10, Cars 2 provides new energy and twists to the Cars universe. Lightning McQueen is invited to one of the biggest races worldwide, sponsored by Miles Axlerod and Alinol - the new alternative fuel source he plans to showcase. A major theme of Cars 2 is loyalty to your truest friends. McQueen, confronted by polar opposites in the pre-event and Mater chooses to lash out at Mater telling him he needs to act differently to fit in. Subsequently, Mater makes a fool out of both cars from Radiator Springs. Next, dramatic irony takes the forefront as Mater entangles himself in espionage, where spy cars are convinced he is their American contact. Throughout the first two races in the spectacle, cars burn up because of old oil-dependent “lemons'' that exploit the properties of Alinol. All in all Mater fights to save his best friend and turns out to become a great spy. It turns out Miles Axlerod was behind it all, plotting this catastrophe to banish the thought of alternative oil forever. With great irony, action, and surprises, Cars 2 lands a spot on my top 10. 8. Onward In following the trek of two brother elves, Ian and Barley, to help bring back their father for one day, PIXAR teaches us to respect and love the people who have disappointed us, and see inside their heart. Ian, at first, does not believe in the magic that Barley is so invested in. Somehow the initial magic spell only brings back the legs of their father. They now have to journey to find another phoenix gem that can finish the spell. On this quest, the fantastical Barley and practical Ian clash on how to continue their adventure. Only when they learn to trust each other can they bring back their father...all of him. All his life Ian has wanted a chance to meet his father, but when their father was sick, Barley forewent his opportunity to say goodbye out of fright, the opposite of how his character was portrayed in the present. Another switch in personality comes at the climax when Ian braves the dragon, forgoes his only chance to meet his dad and lets Barley finally say farewell. 7. Up Carl Fredricksen, a retired balloon salesman and his wife Ellie’s dream was to explore the world and place their house on Paradise Falls. However, Ellie does not make the trip Carl had planned. She died shortly before, in the scene widely accepted as the most sad and emotional in any Disney movie. Junior Wilderness Explorer Russell, initially unbeknownst to Carl, accompanies Fredricksen on his escape to Paradise Falls. They reached the area the falls were located, but Carl needed the balloon-powered house to be closer. On this trek they meet Kevin, the mystical Snipe, that Carl’s idol, Charles Muntz, so desperately wanted to capture. When Russell befriends Kevin with chocolate, the two protagonists find themselves on the bad side of Muntz and his many dogs…except Dug. Carl, wanting to get rid of Kevin when they first encountered each other, has a change of heart, knowing Russell could not leave letting Muntz capture Kevin, and Fredricksen knew it was the right thing to do. In an epic old man battle, Carl, Dug, and Russell are able to save Kevin, a fitting ending to a movie all about the freedom of choice and exploration. 6. Cars Lightning McQueen is speed. As a rookie, he is taking the racing world by storm. After the race that would decide the Piston Cup Champion ends in a three way tie, McQueen, Chick Hicks, and the King must meet in California to decide it once and for all. Of course, a film must have more conflict than just racing, so McQueen gets off track and ends up in a small town, Radiator Springs. Initially, McQueen is infuriated that he has to do community service for a small, no good town he wrecked. With time, however, he realizes the beauty of a small town and its nice, friendly people and even falls in love with a beautiful Porsche, Sally Carrera. Also, he meets a racing legend Doc Hudson, who teaches him to “turn right to go left”. There are many metaphorical parallels that can be drawn there. In the ultimate race for the Piston Cup, McQueen is the clear winner by using Doc’s maneuver, but after the King has a devastating crash McQueen stops right before the finish line, lets unsympathetic Chick Hicks win, then turns back to help the King finish his final race before retirement, a chance Doc Hudson never got. This movie is slightly above average in action and humor, factors I hold in high regard for a good movie, but the feel good, friendly vibe Cars emanates makes it a household PIXAR film. 5. The Incredibles Superheroes are living among us, but they are not in action; their assignment is to act like normal humans. Although Elastigirl might be alright with this, her husband Mr. Incredible desperately wants to get back on the scene. Like a dream come true, he receives a call from someone saying his services are needed. Staging as he is on a business trip, he goes on his mission, only to find out he’s been played by his ol’ pal Syndrome. As revenge for being pushed aside by Mr. Incredible, Syndrome has carried out an elaborate operation killing major supers, now luring Mr. Incredible to his death. For leverage, the movie has the whole Parr family journey to save their father, spewing drama for the whole family. Violet and Dash provide comic relief in the ways of traditional sibling conflict. The Incredibles has some of the best action for a PIXAR film that gets the heart pumping. Syndrome seems to have comebacks after every minor victory for the Incredibles, which gives the movie more suspense and casts more doubt. I was amazed at how well The Incredibles stood the test of time when I rewatched it. 4. WALL-E The beginning of WALL-E might be the longest humorous sequence in any PIXAR movie. The quirks and hobbies of WALL-E and his attitude toward them are hilarious. WALL-E then meets Eve and he falls in love at first sight. Although she tries to kill him several times at first, he still shows her his collections and stays with her when her directive of finding life on Earth puts her to sleep. The connection between these characters happens early for two new companions compared to other Disney movies. WALL-E takes on a new direction of preserving this connection, and of course saving the day. Autopilot has taken advantage of the humans and wants to prevent going back to Earth by whatever means possible. The captain finally realizes that life can no longer be played on easy mode in order to create the best world possible and save Earth. WALL-E can be thought of as a satire, warning us about the potential future of our planet, especially our people who can barely walk in the movie. WALL-E gives a strong message in the midst of a funny, emotional, and action-packed story. 3. Inside Out This movie is full of emotions, and stars five of them: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger. Riley’s family just moved from Minnesota to San Francisco and instead of managing her emotions, her emotions manage her. A minor inconvenience is that Joy and Sadness are lost outside the headquarters, so consequently Riley cannot be happy. The emotions trying to settle the situation and comfort Riley is ironically funny because they try to bring happiness in their own way. Joy and Sadness meet Riley’s former imaginary friend Bing Bong, and together they try to get the two emotions back to headquarters, and get Riley to remember Bing Bong. After taking some wrong turns and falling in the memory dump. Joy and Bing Bong are essentially forgotten. Using Bing Bong’s rocket, he propels Joy out of the chasm, giving her hope that she can save Riley. However, Bing Bong is then forgotten forever. Then, Joy realizes when looking back at one of Riley’s memories, that Sadness is important in becoming happy, showing that sadness is sometimes comforting and needed to turn dark times around. 2. Finding Nemo Marlin, a widowed clownfish loses his son to divers, taking Nemo to P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. Marlin, always being overprotective of Nemo is now living his worst nightmare. Through an epic journey under the sea to reunite a father and his son, Finding Nemo has great visuals and cameos from different sea life. From the shark gig that parallels something of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting to the sweet ride on the EAC with Crush and his turtle dudes, Marlin and his new forgetful friend, Dory, provide comedic tension and thrilling escapes. I find it ironic that Marlin, a clownfish, when called on to make a joke totally drops the ball, but throughout the movie is so ironically funny that the clownfish nature actually does fit his personality. Nemo encounters new friends in Philip Sherman’s office’s fish tank where Nemo shows newfound determination and his unwavering courage. Nemo and his friends escape the office just before Darla’s wrath would ensue. The shifts between Nemo’s perspective and Marlin’s perspective emphasizes the unknown challenges the other has overcome to ultimately meet again. Marlin now has more confidence in Nemo, violently shaking him to get up for school when they are home and safe. 1. Coco Miguel longs to be a musician, but his family forbids it. Music has destroyed their family and Miguel’s abuelita is strict to allow no trace of rhythm in the Rivera household. Instead their family has the very exciting tradition of shoemaking. On the day of the dead, family members come back to the land of the living and see their living relatives. However, you can only cross over if your family has put your photo on the ofrenda, an offering table for the dead. Miguel idolizes Ernesto De La Cruz and gets so caught up in playing the guitar in the plaza, that Miguel joins him in the land of the dead. Hector, on the verge of being forgotten, helps Miguel find De La Cruz as Miguel may be his only shot at going back to the land of the living. Upon finding De La Cruz, Miguel believes he is his great grandfather because his guitar was in their ofrenda, peeled behind the photo of his great grandmother. Shockingly, it wasn’t De La Cruz’s guitar, but Hector’s. Hector wanted to return home to his family and leave the music world, but De La Cruz could not thrive without his songs. So, Ernesto poisoned his best friend. Miguel was able to return home and destroy De La Cruz’s reputation. In an emotional scene, Miguel uses the forbidden music to help Mama Coco remember her father, Hector. She kept a picture of him hidden in her drawer, so Hector would not be forgotten just yet. The twist with the identity of Miguel’s great grandfather, the amazing music, and the final emotional scene with Coco makes Coco my favorite PIXAR movie.

  • Video Games and Quarantine

    Back to Articles Entertainment & Media Back to Sections Video Games and Quarantine By Augustine Magapan Volume 1 Issue 6 March 18, 2021 Image provided by the Washington Post Hello, and welcome back to another game review! First, we talked about the virtual headset, the Oculus Quest 2 , and the difference between that and the first Oculus Quest . In this issue, we are going to discuss video games I have played during quarantine, and those others have played as well. Video games served as a way to cope with boredom while being stuck at home. There will be no ranking system, but rather an analysis of the game and discussion about why people played it and how it became so popular. The first game I would like to discuss is Animal Crossing New Horizons . The trailer was released in June 2019 and no one was expecting this, but people hoped for Animal Crossing to come out for the Nintendo Switch. Animal Crossing involves you having an island or area of some sort and control what happens. You can plant trees, go fishing, catch bugs, spend time with friends, and talk to villagers. No, they aren’t the villagers like Minecraft ; instead, they are animals. You are the only human in the game. In addition, you can expand your property and do your best to make sure your island has the best rating. This game came out in March 2020 when quarantine quickly become more serious. Another thing is that there is this tanuki named Tom Nook, where he advises you and recommends actions you should take. However, when you do whatever he tells you to, you’ll be in his debt. It is a trend for the past games Nintendo has made, no matter where you go, you’ll always be in the debt of Tom Nook. To get out of debt, you’ll have to sell items and make profit off of them which can be done by selling bugs and fish, fossils, and many other things that can be valuable to his little companions, Timmy and Tommy. They run a shop where you can buy furniture and sell items to them. Going back to Animal Crossing New Horizons , people hoped there would be new creatures, fruits, more inventory space, and many more in-game functions. Once this game came out, millions of people started playing it as time progressed through quarantine. There is no competition between other people, and you’re able to be at peace when you play it. It’s a very simple game to play, and I enjoy playing it myself since you can get creative and enjoy all it has to offer. Another game that became popular during quarantine was Among Us . Yes, the game where you accuse people for being ‘sus’ or suspect for the things they do. This game first came out in 2018, but it hadn’t reached popularity until 2020. If you don’t know what this game is already, I advise you to download it on your phone for free and try it out. It is a game containing tiny space people who look adorable? I guess you can say that they look adorable for the fact they have floating hands that aren’t connected to any part of their bodies, as well as having cute legs. These brightly-colored space people must complete tasks to save their spaceship and win. Here’s the twist though: one, two, or three “imposters”. This means three players who aren’t space people. Rather, they are murderous characters who sabotage others and ultimately win by killing each space person who isn’t an imposter. If you are an imposter rather than a crewmate, knowing you need to kill every other player and making sure they don’t complete their tasks, you can also accuse them when it comes to a meeting. We will get to that later, but once all crewmates are eliminated, you win! Crewmates are the opposite of imposters; they are the ones who fulfill tasks and work together to make sure all the tasks are complete so you can win. When you see a dead body on the floor, you can report it so you can start a meeting. Meetings are when it starts to get serious because it’s like a court room. You must state your alibi and make sure you aren’t found guilty. Whether you are a crewmate or imposter, you should always try to prove yourself innocent while trying to either accuse other people. Well, that goes for me at least since when I’m in a meeting if I’m an imposter, I’d try to get into people’s heads saying that I’m innocent since I do a specific task or saying other things by the deceptive actions I have taken. Crewmates, on the other hand, should figure out who the imposter is but can be deceived by one another. It’s hilarious during some games, and other games you are dead silent and serious. Youtubers make it look fun and it’s also fun when you play with friends. Pewdiepie, Disguised Toast, KSI, and many more youtubers make it seem like the game is fun when you start getting into it: especially Corpse, a youtuber with an interesting tone of voice. Viewers love him and so do I. You should Among Us a try since it’s still common to see others playing. It’s still pretty popular. Our final game we can discuss for this issue is Minecraft . You heard me well, the blocky Lego-looking... oops! That’s Roblox . I meant to say the blocky cube game where you are in a world of blocks and you yourself are a block. Surely you must have heard the game since it came out almost ten years ago and has been a rollercoaster ride ever since. Some years the game was popular, other years people lost interest. If you still don’t know the blocky game, it started off with a man named Steve. That is the main character of the game followed along with Alex. Of course, you can have your own skins, but it should be noted that Steve and Alex were the first two characters to be in the game. You are also known as the ‘player’. After having your character, you spawn in the world and simply mine, otherwise known as breaking blocks. You break blocks to gather resources and materials and then craft them to make more materials and structures. You continue to repeat this process as if you were in the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods creating stone and iron tools. Sooner or later, you can find DIAMONDS. Diamonds are ores as well, like coal and iron. While adventuring and mining, you are going to encounter mobs like animals, zombies, and creepers. You must butcher the animals to eat so your hunger bar doesn’t go down, and dangerous mobs might kill you. Now that you know the overworld, there was an update that made Minecraft popular again during quarantine. It was the new “nether update” which is a new version of the nether. The nether is the opposite of the overworld; it’s the underworld where zombie pigmen, ghosts, wither skeletons, and other dangerous mobs are your obstacles. You can acquire more material in there as well, and that is only found in the underworld. However, there are new creatures lurking and biomes in the underworld. This contains piglins who will kill you if you don’t wear gold armor and will trade with you. The overall goal of Minecraft is to kill the Ender Dragon and go to the end. But it is not really the end since there will be a new beginning. Other than that, you should have fun and enjoy the game as a whole. You can get creative with what you build, and play with friends. After all, it’s cross-platforming. That concludes all the game review I have for this issue. I enjoyed writing this article and discussing something that I like. If you have any other recommendations on what I should review, please reach out to me, and we can have a fun time writing and reading about it here. I probably will write another article on video games during quarantine. These were only a few, and there are many more to come in the future to discuss. Thank you for reading, and see you guys soon!

  • The 10 Sikh Superman & John Smyth

    Back to Articles Feature Back to Sections The 10 Sikh Superman & John Smyth Rehmat Kaur Volume 5 Issue 4 April 8, 2025 Image Provided by Rehmat Kaur Picture provided by Rehmat Kaur – shows a kara which is one of the five external articles a baptized Sikh wears. A kara is an iron bracelet which is worn on the right hand. It symbolizes that God has no beginning or ending and acts as a reminder that a Sikh should do not that the anything that God would disapprove of. Background It was May 16th, 1915, in the trenches of northern France during the Battle of Neuve Chapelle. The British army's first battalion of Highland Light infantry ran across no man's land and seized a section of the German trench. The Highlanders were isolated in a 200-yard stretch of enemy trench, separated from reinforcements by 250 yards of no man's land. The next day, another party of troops was dispatched from Commander Officer Lieutenant John Smyth's trench, and the same thing happened to them. The Germans were steadfast in their refusal to allow the British troops to send assistance. The Senior British Commander gave the order to continue the mission and dispatch more soldiers. With the orders, Smyth requested volunteers from his 4th company, 115 men, to accompany him on the exceedingly perilous mission. But every single man rushed forward and offered to accompany him. Smyth picked ten recruits and proceeded to plan their mission. The Ordeal At 3:00 p.m., Smyth and his ten Sikh men head to the frontline trench with two crates containing 48 grenades apiece. They plunged over the parapet and into a destroyed exploratory trench, gaining yards into no man's land. They were subjected to a persistent storm of German artillery fire, and a fire cascade dropped on them. However, it produced coverage as bodies and smoke were strewn across the ground. They leaped from cover to cover, attempting to reach the stream that runs through the middle of the no-man's land. However, two Sikh troops died in the mud after a shell struck them. Symth instructed the guys to continue marching through the dust caused by shell falls. He made it to the next cover, but the ground fell faster than predicted, exposing two more Sikh men to the enemy's fire. Seven soldiers remained as they lunged toward the stream and fell into the waist-deep water. Four more troops fell when gunfire struck them. Only Smyth and Sikh soldier Lal Singh remained, making progress toward their goal. They arrived at the frontline with only one box, but it was sufficient to hold the trench until dark when further supplies were sent. Smyth was eventually able to return to his trench after nightfall. When Smyth returned, he noticed his orderly, Ishar Singh, waiting for him on the parapet. Ishar Singh had sat there since the mission began, even though Smyth's death had been reported a long time ago. He was confident that his commanding officer would return. Ishar saluted and said the Sikh greeting or Warcry, “ Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Shri Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh ” which means the Khalsa (Sikhs) are of Vaheguru (God), so the victory of Khalsa as the Army of the Timeless Being – is Vaheguru’s victory. Legacy Armed with only a few tools and unwavering drive, their gallantry would be remembered throughout military history. All ten Sikh warriors were given the Indian Distinguished Service Medal. When discussing the events John Smyth stated, “What kept me going was the courage of my men. I gave them leadership and they gave me support.” The narrative of the ten Sikh Supermen is a timeless tale of bravery, sacrifice, and perseverance. It exemplifies humanity's tenacious spirit, telling us that even in the worst of circumstances, hope and bravery can prevail. Names of the 10 Sikh Supermen: Service Number 131, Lance Naik, Mangal Singh, 15th Ludhiana Sikhs Service Number 702, Sepoy Lal Singh, 15th Ludhiana Sikhs Service Number 638, Sepoy Sucha Singh, 15th Ludhiana Sikhs Service Number 962, Sepoy, Sapuran Singh, 15th Ludhiana Sikhs Service Number 1255, Sepoy, Sarain Singh, 15th Ludhiana Sikhs Service Number 1036, Sepoy, Fateh Singh, 15th Ludhiana Sikhs Service Number 1001, Sepoy, Ujagar Singh, 15th Ludhiana Sikhs Service Number 1249, Sepoy, Sundar Singh, 15th Ludhiana Sikhs Service Number 1339, Sepoy, Ganda Singh, 15th Ludhiana Sikhs Service Number 1360, Sepoy, Harnam Singh, 15th Ludhiana Sikhs Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvb_S8it4C8 https://www.sikhnet.com/news/%E2%80%9C10-sikh-supermen%E2%80%9D-die-battle-festubert-1915 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI-5ZMrxeIE https://www.schooltube.com/the-10-sikh-supermen-a-story-of-unwavering-courage/ BACK TO TOP
