By Anna Segelken

 

If you participated in the FUN POLL we sent out with issue 2, then this is the moment you have been waiting for- here are the results! If you would like to participate in our next poll, click here.

 


Extreme temperature - hot or cold - was not favoured in this poll. Spring and fall tie for favourite season, with summer just behind and winter lagging in last place.

 



With over half the votes, the forest biome wins! Luckily for all you forest lovers out there, the boreal forest (or “taiga”) is the world's largest land biome.

 



 

 

 

 

 

It would appear that the hexagon is not the bestagon! In this poll, a different shape was the star of the show.

 



 

 

 

 

 

And pink is the winner!!! Or is it? After careful consideration, I proclaim violet the winner, with blue in second, and green in third. Luckily, we have editors to fact check...

 



 

 

 

 

 

            Fifteen people need to pay more attention in English class... unless they truly prefer deserts over desserts? Either way, the sweet treat wins.

Columns

By Megan Wong   Have you ever wondered where iconic architectural pillars came from? Well, the most common ones used today are considered the Classical Orders of Architecture which originated in ancient Greece and Rome. The five styles are called the Ionic, Doric, Corinthian, Tuscan, and Composite orders. They were used to define the style of the people living in certain areas of Europe and the era it was created in. Ionic Order The Ionic Order was created in ancient Greece by the Ionian Greeks in the 6th century. The column is primarily known for its two volutes as it gives the impression that the column is two-sided. It is also considered to be a more feminine version of the Doric column where the volutes and dart ornaments represent the female anatomy of ovaries and eggs. Others say that the volutes resemble scrolls to represent communication at the time. The order was created in Ionia, which we now know as Turkiye, and created some problems for architects at the time ...

Archery Club

By Anna Segelken Templeton’s new Archery Club had its first meeting on Friday, October 4th. Ten people came out to shoot some arrows and have some fun. As president April Vander Ster says, archery is “good for training certain muscles, and for endurance and such, but I think more importantly, it’s something that can help with your mental health”.

Though the development of firearms rendered archers obsolete in warfare, the practice of archery has remained for hunting and sport, both competitive and recreational, like this club. The Archery Club will continue to meet during FIT on Fridays, in the small gym. Vander Ster is eager...

Getaway Car

By Phoenix Nguyen   No, nothing good starts in a getaway car. The ties were black, and the lies were white; in shades of grey in candlelight. I hated it. I hated how we were. I hate that I was chasing make-belief status. I knew you tried to change the ending, but alas, Peter still lost Wendy. You never saw it coming, so I too blinded myself. ‘Tis was another fine evening in June. The chill of the northerly wind having given away in the late afternoon to a lovely warm stillness and clarity in the air. Far different from the atmosphere inside the car, far different from the cages and chains in my throat trapping those fierce claps from bursting my heart open, fluttering words up my throat, throwing up the butterflies that were pacing my mind since forever. Wise men say love is a rebellious bird, coming and going, passing by unbeknownst to us. If such is true, then I ought to be the wintriest place for any bird, for I have never experienced th...
