Way We Were

Hawks Advance To Championship Round Of State Tourney

Daniel Philbin

David Merrill

Top Of The Mountain

The topic may be the same but the narratives every other week differ and I appreciate the installments. Rebuttals on factual content rather than focusing on form would improve the discourse.

Who would think that we would start losing count? Maybe not so much a typo as a copy-and-paste error, easy to understand after this much repetition.

Congrats to all the 275 graduates. For context...class of 2005 had 360 students, the number of graduating seniors seemed to cap out in the late 2000's in the low 400's.

Onwards And Upwards — NHS Class Of 2026 Graduates

It was actually a typo on my part, turns out.

When the author had to come back to correct the edition, maybe the series has gotten long enough to require its own index. I can re-run the calc's at the next one, which should be in about 10 days.
