The start of every school year offers an opportunity to improve. Classes, clubs, parking – you name it – seems to have changed in some way or another.

Decision-makers are never going to please everyone when they make a change, but the start of the 2013-14 school year has sparked silly student arguments that need to come to an end.

Yearbook planned to place quotes underneath senior pictures to add a new dimension to the book. As soon as this news went viral, seniors began submitting several quotes, but many of the sayings were allegedly denied.

Seniors heard that yearbook staff was censoring quotes based on their own bias. Seniors not only critiqued the alleged decision amongst their friends, but also took to social media to criticize the yearbook staff.

After all the commotion, the yearbook staff decided to create a two-page spread that will be dedicated only to senior quotes. Because of the high volume of submissions, quotes will be randomly picked and published.

Yearbook will continue its tradition of including senior data by each picture (clubs and sports each student was involved in throughout their high school career).

The senior class can now take a chill pill. Yearbook is going to provide the best book they can for students.

Another issue which has sparked debate is the junior class song at the spirit assembly on Aug. 30.

For the first time in school history, StuGo introduced student voting for the class songs. At all lunches for a week, a table was set up in order for students to vote for their class song.

For instance, the freshmen class chose “Turn Up the Music” by Chris Brown; the sophomores chose “Wop” by J. Dash; the seniors chose “We Run This” by Wiz Khalifa.

The problem arose with the junior class, who had a voter turnout of approximately 30. There are 714 juniors enrolled at PHS – that means 4 percent of the class voted for their song.

They voted for Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 5” – really, they did.

Here is the catch: in an attempt to please the juniors with a contemporary hit that they could dance to, StuGo chose an upbeat remix of the classic. As soon as this was played, the juniors turned their backs in protest. In essence, the juniors protested for the song they voted for.

Yes, StuGo spiced it up a bit – the class song is something you are supposed to be able to dance to, and StuGo got it right.

In reality, we are worrying about insignificant things. We should be worrying about our next math exam and preparing for college, not petty high school affairs that hold no significance to our future. It’s just high school. Take five and calm down, Perry.
