Pomona Commentary
How do I explain why I like pop music while so many other people do not? Musical tastes differ from person to person just like their tastes in food. Take brownies for example. You may love the way the chocolate-goodness melts in your mouth, the way the smell of freshly baked brownies fills the kitchen, or simply the way they can somehow make any bad day seem better.
Ever since the dawn of rock, the age of Teeny Bopper music has followed. From Elvis to the young likings of the Backstreet Boys, this kind of music has won the hearts of many young people.
If you really want to call it music nowadays.
We had a thought the other day while watching some people walk up to the pit to enjoy a smoke between classes. Why shouldn't the student body at Pomona have an area that is supported by the school for all different types of addictions?
With the disheartening retirement of Chuck Norris from small-screen acting (he wants to do movies again) the nation will now be without direction. Yes, if you have not heard it already it is now time to face the sad fact that the paragon of American culture, and highlight of everyone's weekend, CBS' "Walker-Texas Ranger" will soon be off the air.
Graduation is just a short four months away for the class of 2001, and I have already, like most seniors, began to think about my post high school plans. Aside from college, I have recently been consumed with thoughts of post high school life in general.
It has been the dictate of the high editors above us all, that I, Miguel East, must write a eulogy to the greatest writer to ever grace the pages of the Perspective. That's right; it is my pleasure, my passion, and, most likely, my crowning achievement to be given this awe-inspiring assignment.
Pomona High School has adopted a new policy beginning this semester. Students added an additional piece of paper to their stack to share with their parents: a permission slip in regards to the Falvo case.
This letter to the Perspective staff (or rather, the letter to me) concerning the entertainment section got me to thinking. Not of remorse, but of people. Not even of the people who signed this letter (I am not acquainted with any of them), but just about people in general.
