It may be 2012, but it’s not the end of the world. The Presentation Fashion Show is an event that is well attended but even more well known for its substantial contributions to Presentation’s work scholarship fund. As tradition goes, it’s a night filled with glitz and glam, where Pres alumni and... [Read more]

What comes to mind when you hear the words formal ball? You may think of fancy gowns, decadence, fairy tale princes, divine music and fine dancing. However, this is far from the reality of what a teenage ball looks like in our generation. Instead of Cinderella movie scenes, the so called “ball”... [Read more]

“Stop growing up so fast.” I know this is a cliché that we’ve heard one too many times, but really—stop. Stop trying to act older than you are. Stop trying to speed up time. Stop trying to do things that seem “mature.” It seems like kids are growing up at a faster rate based on the way... [Read more]

“Could it be, could it be? Phew…I made it as a model for fashion show.” Sixty times this statement was repeated, no more and no less. This is because out of a class of 185 seniors, only 60 girls were chosen as a model for Presentation’s Spring Fashion Show. Selection for the fashion show... [Read more]

“I don’t really care who the president is as long as it isn’t Obama. He hasn’t done anything right. It’s all his fault that we’re like this now.” Can we just leave the poor man alone? President Obama should not be held accountable for all our country’s problems, failures and successes.... [Read more]

We’ve all been exposed to it, whether it is through media or school: the handholding, the pecks on the cheek, and the lingering hugs. These signs of endearments, universally known as public displays of affection, can be cute in small doses. But it’s almost impossible to walk into a store or meander... [Read more]

We just want to get to class in peace. Is that really too much to ask? Clearly, for many Pres girls, being courteous to others in the hallways is far too great a demand. At the beginning of each day, students gather in the halls and sit with their friends before class begins. Often, these large groups... [Read more]

Can you imagine taking care of two children? How about six? Ten? How about twenty kids? And not just twenty kids, twenty kids with matching Biblical names and Bible-worthy life stories to match. For most teenage girls, even thinking about the responsibilities associated with the task of raising one child... [Read more]

The first advertisement to be, well, advertised was in 1652 by Mercurius Politicus who promoted his book of heroic poems in a newspaper. Classy as that may be, nowadays, advertisements have been blown out of proportions from the great commercials during the Super Bowl to the absolutely annoying Shane... [Read more]
