Over the past two years as Editor-in-Chief, I’ve seen a lot of news going through the Devil’s Advocate. But no one has been a bigger newsmaker than Mr. Larkin.
I have never met an administrator with such an abundance of school-changing ideas. We’ve covered it all, from reforming schedules to laptops for every student. Mr. Larkin has changed the way I view schools; things don’t have to stay the same just because they’ve always been that way.
So what could go wrong with a high-tech principal on a mission to bring BHS into the 21st century?
As my four years at BHS come to a close, there are certainly things I will miss. I’ll miss walking the halls with my friends, or sitting with them at lunch. I’ll miss Ms Boyle’s loud sneezes, Mr. Costa’s wacky sayings, ordering pizza during long period, and writing fake names on the bathroom sign in sheet. However, there are a bunch of things I definitely won’t miss -- 17, to be exact.
Watching the captains of the BC Hockey National Championship team throw out the first pitch in Fenway Park, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. It seems everywhere I look all I see are BC shirts, hats, t-shirts, whatever, and now they had invaded my Red Sox games. It makes me wonder if the people wearing all this BC gear actually are fans of the school or if they are just victims of successful marketing schemes.
