Plot Synopses for Detective Sketches and Frostbite

By Connor Read, staff reporter

Frostbite by Lisa D’Amour is a drama based on old Asian theatre methods with a modern twist. Matt and Kira, a committed teenage couple, decide to go down to the clearing with Kira’s friend, Sheila. Matt would much rather enjoy his time alone with his girlfriend, but Kira invites Sheila as a sympathetic gesture. Sheila’s been known to have depression. However, a strange “kid” finds them at the clearing and may just hold a few interesting secrets that affect the future of these typical teenagers.

Student Council Elections to be Held in May

By Meghan Agostinelli, staff reporter

It’s a year of firsts for Sturgis: a new school, the first girls’ field hockey win in school history, and the first time Student Council elections will be held in May.

From the founding of Sturgis’s Council to the 2010-2011 elections, officers and representatives were elected at the start of the school year. However, Student Council moderator Mrs. Yalden notes that, “In the past, elections took up the whole month of September, and we had no plan to prepare for Spirit Week properly and any other early events.”
