Voices of the Studentzenship

Q: What do you think of the fact that this year Edina had a record number of houses demolished to make way for bigger houses, in an increasingly common practice called “Tear-downs”?


“They get the people out of the houses first, right?”
  • Stan Mertens, junior


“This is a classic example of the big houses taking unfair advantage of their smaller brothers.”
  • Martain Pines, sophomore


“Any news on whether ‘burn-downs’ are legal yet?”
  • Gina Larson, junior


Q: Edina Cross Country finished ninth in the nation on the Nike Cross Nationals race. What’s your opinion?


“Is there any way I can really be opposed to this?”
  • Walter Jackson, senior


“Maybe this could finally get Edina back on the map!”
  • Christopher Van Buren, sophomore


Q: What do you think of the recent decision to change the scheduling of the semester so finals now take place just before winter break?


“It matters not! For you see, regardless of the school board does it stop it, fall will yet again turn to winter, and winter in turn to spring. The world will keep turning on its celestial axis, just as it did years before and will far into the future. What we do in our short lives in insignificant almost to the point of humor. Hahaha! We might as well eat expired fireworks now and accept our future as headstones! Do you understand me, journalist? WE ARE MEANINGLESS! WE ARE MEANINGLESS! WE ARE MEANINGLESS.”
  • Arch-Philosopher of Cromwell, Sir William P. Hazelton, sophomore


“I dunno. Seems okay, I guess.”

  • Hannah Dodson, senior
