ISSUE FOUR | OPINION/EDITORIAL
In preparation for the opinion/editorial issue, students experimented with making inferences from facts. While opinion articles do reflect the views of the writer, students learned the importance of substantiating claims with research and rooting assertions in fact-based research. Students chose from a variety of editorial slants including critiquing, advocating, endorsing, defending, praising and predicting. You will read here several well-articulated critiques of school culture that also offer solutions or calls to action.
On Prom
On Prom

Prom is supposed to be one of, if not the best-planned event of the school year. There isn’t one particular way that prom will look, but any event this old and popularized will develop a few key standards. Sure, it’s changed a lot over the years, but it has always had the same idea at its core: a night of dancing and fun.
Prom has always been a big thing at Peoples Academy, During the ‘80s, prom at PA was a much more formal event. According to Michele Walker, a former PA graduate of ‘81 and our school’s secretary, “It was a date night. [The dance] was always held in the gym and was decorated beautifully”. The promenade, which we call “The Grand March” was much more formal back then too. “[It] was a true grand march. The couples would march up the main aisle by twos, then split off, left and right, then they would join up at the back and march down by fours, then eights, then sixteens,” she recalled in an interview. In recent years, however, prom at PA has been increasingly less elaborate. Decorations this year were sparse and extra activities during the dance were practically nonexistent. It’s not the fault of the 11th grade student council, or really even the school. The recent reductions to prom night are a symptom of growing costs and a static budget.The tradition of high school prom has existed for so long that the “first prom” feels like it must have taken place alongside dinosaurs. While it would have been a great spectacle to witness students riding into prom on a T-rex, prom as we know it has really only been around for a century. Nobody knows exactly when the first prom took place, but it started as a college event. An issue of The Harvard Crimson in 1879 makes a reference to the “Junior Prom” (Kennedy 2023). The dance quickly gained traction with high schools and the high school prom was born. It seemed to be a “democratized version of the debutante ball” (a formal event with the original purpose of presenting young women as eligible for marriage), that “afforded anyone attending high school the opportunity to feel as though they too were ‘coming out’ [into society as an adult], that they could transcend the boundaries of class,” wrote Amy Best, the author of Prom Night: Youth, Schools and Popular Culture (2000). “The message was that you did not have to be rich to wear a fancy frock, to be adorned with a corsage, or to waltz the night away.” This message still very much applies today.
Most students only experience planning out their own personal prom night. What am I going to wear? Who am I going to go with? What am I doing before prom; what about after? It’s already a difficult process to plan out your own night. For the growing number of student council members involved in planning prom itself, the work is so much more time-consuming than one would imagine. The dance itself may only last a few hours, but there are months of planning that precede it. Let’s take a look at what prom planning entails.
Prom has been hosted off-campus since around 2007 (with the exception of the COVID prom, which was held outdoors on school grounds). In the years following that change, finding a venue has become a top priority: the search for one begins during the fall semester. Before ticket sales can commence, a sign-up sheet for chaperones has to be filled. There are also the matters of acquiring decorations, hiring a DJ, and setting up other activities for the night. Even with all the support that the school provides for those planning the event, it’s a lot to manage. Especially on a tight budget. This year there were 112 prom tickets sold, with 24 going to students who were outside of the PA junior and senior classes. Last year there were 138 sales, with 39 tickets sold to “outside” attendees. The average amount of prom tickets sold has stuck around 115 for years. The event budget has remained accordingly consistent. Having a steady budget on paper may seem comforting, but when prom keeps costing more and more, even though the school’s budget for it stays fixed, there’s a real issue. This year, it cost $2,200 just to book the venue. The DJ was another $750. Even though ticket sales were as expected, and amounted to $2935 in budget, prom still ended up in the red.
In the week following prom, thirty students who attended the dance took a survey. Twelve of them had previously been to a prom at PA. Of those students that had been to a past prom, half felt that this year’s dance didn’t compare well with proms of previous years. Over 95% of all the students who responded to the survey didn’t feel like there were enough extra activities at the prom. In previous years, prom night featured a photo booth, which many students missed having this year. The problem is, a photo booth this year would have cost an extra $500 and didn’t fit within this year’s budget. In these types of situations, it’s the non-essential elements, like photo booths, that are cut when funds run out. Unfortunately for us, it’s also those little extras that make the night even more special. So what can be done about it, short of raising already expensive ticket prices ($35 for a single ticket and $50 for a double)?
Peoples Academy should consider taking inspiration from other high schools across the country who hold their prom in creative ways in order to get around a limited budget. One of those options is holding a prom in conjunction with another school. If PA was to combine its prom with that of another local school, the immediate effect would be a larger budget for both schools to work with. The planning committee would only have to book one venue, hire one DJ, and purchase one set of decorations.Another option would be to alternate between a “cheap” prom year and an expensive one, where ticket costs stay the same throughout. During the cheap year, prom could be hosted on campus, keeping the same extra features one could expect from an average prom here at the school: a photo booth, snacks, and a pretty decent DJ. There could even be a few party games thrown into the mix. The bulk of the budget that would usually go towards an off-campus venue could instead be saved and put into the following year’s event budget. When the expensive year rolls around, our school could go all out for the dance using the stored budget. If both of these changes to prom were combined, possibilities for prom would really open up. There could be enough of a budget for a band or even a mechanical bull!
This summer, Mr. Larson and Ms. Emerson are working to create an application screening process for students interested in joining student council. If you are interested in being a part of future prom planning, reach out to them.

Comparatively, People’s Academy (PA) is barely more welcoming than the average school. Loneliness is a universal experience, yet our school community often fails to address it. We've all heard the 'If you see someone alone, invite them over!' speech. But how many of us would truly be willing to step out of our comfort zone to escort someone out of theirs? In this article, I’ll explore the types of excluding behavior and how they affect a person in the long term.
Social groups at PA, which might think they are inclusive, sometimes make others feel left out. This can happen in two ways: passive aggression and direct exclusion. Both make students feel like they don’t belong. Passive aggression is one of the most common ways of conveying disinterest in someone's presence. It's when someone makes you feel unwelcome in a sneaky way. You might feel like you're not wanted, but it’s hard to call out because it’s not direct. This makes it tough for students to speak up about their feelings, leaving them feeling alone and unsupported. More obvious forms of exclusion are also common. This entails not sharing important information or making inside jokes that some students don’t understand. These actions create exclusive groups and make others feel isolated, going against PA’s goal of being inclusive.
The Shift in Social Dynamics
The Shift in Social Dynamics
Things have changed a lot since last year. The senior class that graduated last year was more willing to be social and set a friendly tone in the school. They participated in community meetings without fear of backlash. This made the school feel more inclusive. Now, there’s more social backlash, and students are meaner to each other. Many don’t face consequences for their actions. People often dislike what they don’t understand, which is frustrating, especially when it comes to diversity in gender expression and sexuality. Education about queerness at PA is not enough. There’s inconsistency in celebrating Pride and queer identities, and this lack of education makes it hard to foster real acceptance. It’s not fair to expect students to educate their peers about queerness, especially if it means they have to out themselves. Education on these topics should be part of the regular curriculum and should not fall on the shoulders of marginalized students.
Moving Forward
Moving Forward
To truly become a welcoming school, PA needs to address both passive and direct exclusion. This means better education about queerness, holding people accountable for their actions, and ensuring that diversity is consistently celebrated. By doing this, PA can become a place where all students feel valued. We have the potential to be an inclusive and accepting school, but this requires effort to improve education and representation and to hold people accountable for their behavior. Only then can PA become a truly welcoming community for all students.
The Crux of Community Meeting
The Crux of Community Meeting

We have community meetings once every month here at PA. It is a convergence of the month's accomplishments and an overview of what has happened. Everyone goes for the most part. Over time it has lost its former student engagement. In past years students have volunteered to play instruments, perform dances, read poetry, and MC the meeting. The number of student volunteers has dwindled over the past year. In the past, the meeting has been run by a student MC (Master of ceremony). Now community meetings are run almost exclusively by Mr. Grant the principal with short interludes by other faculty and staff.
Why is Participation Down?
Why is Participation Down?
And while it is very easy to draw conclusions and be cynical about what these changes mean, it is likely symptomatic of some greater issue. Students seem uncomfortable coming forward and speaking to the rest of the student body. It is seen as embarrassing or scary. This may be due to the isolation of Covid that we all experienced in middle school. Or it could be the fear that someone will do something embarrassing and it will be recorded.
For this article, a survey was sent out to the whole student body. The survey asked a series of short questions about what community meetings are like from the student's perspective, 68 students responded. While the survey was mixed in opinions about community meetings there seemed to be a general dissatisfaction with the amount of time Flex takes out of the day, “It’s taking time out of my day could easily be said in an email instead we are getting taken out of our Flex time when we all have work to do and taking this time is only thinking about those of the student body that was smart and easily follow along and stay caught up never taking into consideration about those who are struggling and need flex and time to get their stuff done.”Students also disliked the amount of time with the amount of time faculty spent on stage, with most students feeling like they were only sort of represented. The majority of the airtime is taken up by Mr. Grant.
A Better Meeting
A Better Meeting
Most students who filled out the survey seem to want to be engaged. When asked to propose ideas for what would make community meetings engaging for students, most had an answer. Students proposed Kahoots, and fun competitive activities, all of which are things made by students primarily for students. While it is easy to write off involvement by saying that students don't want to get involved, sixteen of the sixty-eight students responded that they would like to be involved in a meeting in the future, or would like to get involved but don't know how.
In the future community meetings should be seen as a space for students and faculty to connect as a community, to plug in. Community meetings should be representative of the student body and school community as a whole, not just faculty.

ISSUE THREE | PHOTOJOURNALISM
For our photojournalism issue, we explore personal stories through the camera lens, employing four techniques to create impactful images. These approaches include proximity (getting an intimate view of the subject), vantage point (taking pics from unusual angles), disturbance (framing images to bleed into the border, placing subjects at a variety of levels), and place (including visual cues to indicate location).
Additionally, students anchor their articles with properly cited resources.
Hozier: Too Sweet in Austin
Hozier: Too Sweet in Austin
By Sophia Lam
On April 28, I flew to Austin, Texas, with my friend on a journey to see Hozier at the Moody Center. I really started listening to Hozier two and a half years ago. Of course, everyone knows “Take me to Church.” My mom and I listened to that religiously in the car. The show we went to was part of the Unreal Unearth tour. While he played some songs from his new album, there was a good mix of songs from his earlier releases, including his self-titled album and Wasteland, Baby! What follows is a visual tour of the show.
The concept of collective effervescence, introduced by sociologist Emile Durkheim, discusses the special feeling of connection at live music events. It’s not just about being in a crowd; it's about how everyone’s emotions and actions unite, strengthening the bond between the music and each other. The music triggers strong emotions and memories, uniting the audience. This emotional journey is fueled by chemicals like oxytocin and dopamine, which our bodies release during these events, making them highly satisfying. Essentially, live concerts offer more than just entertainment; they forge a deep sense of community and happiness that stays with people long after the concert is over.

Hozier opened with “De Selby Part 1 and 2.” There weren’t any backing vocals until the end of the song. It was just Hozier singing and playing guitar. It felt very intimate. Overall, it was a fairly minimalist stage and set: there was just a stage and screen in the back. After a little bit, the stars on the stage started to swirl together.
Two screens were positioned on either side of the stage. Sometimes, they focused on Hozier, and other times, they focused on the drummer or other parts of the band. These screens allowed the Upper Deck seats to get a better view.
A little later in the song, I noticed someone in front of me on Facetime with their friend to show them the concert. I thought this was really sweet and a nice way of making someone feel included even if they can't be there physically.
During “Almost (Sweet Music)”, the screen behind the stage split into many smaller perspectives, some focusing on Hozier, others on the instruments, and some on the band.

The Art of Bikejoring
The Art of Bikejoring
By Maya Gregory
It’s hard to imagine safely biking with a harnessed dog leashed to the front of your bike, feeling the wind rush past your ears, hearing the pebbles kicked up by your dog ding against the bike frame–unless you’ve done it before. Some might write the activity off as insanity, but it’s a very real sport known as bikejoring.
Dogs well-trained in pulling sports can run past distractions while staying focused on the task at hand.
There are three main elements to the sport: a harnessed dog, a mountain bike, and a biker. The equipment itself, which includes a fishing pole-like antenna attached below the handlebars, is easy to come by. What makes this sport uncommon is the difficulty of finding and training a dog that is well-suited for the task. Training a dog for bikejoring—or any other pulling sport—requires a great deal of time and effort on the owner’s part.
From all that time and effort, however, a seasoned sport dog will emerge. That’s when the real fun begins.
Rocket, a four-year-old Siberian Husky, right after a mile-and-a-half bikejoring sprint.
Bikejoring originated as a way for dog sled racers to maintain their dogs’ fitness during the off-season (Johnstone).
When a dog is in good physical shape, they will have a pronounced waist with palpable ribs and spine.
While still growing in popularity, Bikejoring has become an internationally recognized sport (Croxton). My family only participates in the sport recreationally, but there are competitive bikejoring races held within the United States.

Small Town to Small Town
Small Town to Small Town
By Maple Newlin
Over April Break I traveled to my hometown of Viroqua, Wisconsin. I was very excited and told almost everyone. When they asked what I was most excited about going back they were shocked by my answer; food. And also friends but a lot of food. While Vermont does have a very vibrant food scene.
Wisconsin has a rich history of local food. This is due to the amount of farms and farmland that take advantage of the rich soil and long growing season of the Driftless region of western Wisconsin. The Driftless region wasn't covered by glaciers during that last great ice age(Western Coulees and Ridges) These glaciers missed the Driftless leaving it with very fertile land.
The house that I was born in Viroqua Wisconsin. It backs up to a large field that used to be a dairy farm. As a kid, the cows would come up to the fence and lick our hands. Shortly before we moved it the land was sold and now is a cornfield.
The view looking down on over rolling farmland. These hills are often called ridges and the valleys are referred to as coulees. It is warm and windy on the ridges and colder in the valleys. This differential between climates allows for more things to be grown.
My little brother playing at the local playground that I went to as a kid. It is called the dragon park for the large dragon on the side of the wooden structure. It was weird to so my little brother run around this park like I did when I was little.
The Viroqua food coop has been an institution for a long time. It was fairly large in the early two thousands but has since grown; Fueled by the desire for local, good food. It even closed a road to build an even bigger parking lot. It is barely recognizable from that time, the outdoor chairs are the only thing that has remained the same. In my mind, it was the same as it was when I was five and I was going to get cookies with my dad.
We stayed with my Auntie Jess in her beautiful house on a hill. Her house is full of oddities and always has, she collects things with stories. She has a knack for keeping orchids alive, she says they need friends to stay alive.
Driftless Books and Music houses about half a million books and other artifacts. The building itself is an old tobacco warehouse from when tobacco was a common crop to grow in the region. It wasn't until the late 20th century when tobacco farming became less lucrative and people moved to growing grapes.
While I was there I went to this old bookstore to hear singer-songwriter Greg Browns read some of his book and sing a bit. He was also playing there in the fall when my parents moved there in 2005. The old bookstore holds so many memories, and has a specific kind of must; it is rich and full of memories.

We scoured our local community and beyond for these three profile or feature stories. We practiced asking great questions, finding links between the personal stories of those profiled and bigger-picture issues, and researching to learn a bit more about the context of these individuals. Then, we made the leap to bring it back old school, and create a Zine, learning about the zine aesthetic and traditional 2D print layout. Pictured are the spreads from the Zine issue. Enjoy!
