        People should have at least one pine tree in their house or in their backyard. Having a pine tree is amazing, especially during the holidays because when it becomes that time of the year you can decorate your pine tree and have a really good and epic pine tree.

OPINION - Marvel Phase 4 Is Not As Bad As the Haters Say. In Fact, It's Good. By Siri Sherrod

Many Marvel fans believe that Phase 4 is the worst Marvel phase. I disagree. I think Phase 4 is better at representing minorities. Phase 4 has more LGBTQ+ and racially diverse characters than the other phases had. 

Phase 1 consisted of all white male leads plus a team-up movie. Same thing for Phase 2. Phase 3 had Black Panther which was very progressive and successful and Captain Marvel which had a white female lead but was not received well.

        Many people fear insects, but they never seem to realize how fascinating bugs can be. One example would be cockroaches, cockroaches are seen as invasive, disgusting creatures that crawl around and make weird clicking noises, but roaches in general can be really cool, because of how they eat waste and make it into organic material. Roaches are some of the reasons why our world isn't flooded with garbage.

I think that money can and can't buy you happiness but it can help you achieve happiness. It can buy you happiness because if you have all the money you need you can spend time with people and family which can make you happy. Or you can buy things that bring you joy like a Bugatti or a mansion or things for family. Seeing them get them can bring you a lot of happiness.

OPINION - Should Inmates on Death Row Have More Rights? By Kaitlyn Tran

Please enjoy this opinion article from DMHS's "Introduction to Journalism" Class!

        Humans who kill other humans are ultimately evil. How could someone take another life and not feel any remorse? However, on Death Row, where the world’s most deadly people are sent, is it okay for the government to take those lives without any remorse at all? There are a lot of mixed opinions whether it's right or wrong to kill other people, no matter the crimes they’ve committed. 

Death Row is a sentence where inmates who have committed federal crimes against the state or have committed violent murders are sent to await execution. While these people are probably horrible and have done terrible things, is it right to kill them off?

DMHS High Schoolers perform "Spamalot!"

On December 8th and 9th, 10th-12th grade theater students performed their annual musical. This year's production was "Spamalot," a whacky musical based on the cult classic movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Fans of the film saw many of their favorite Monty Python lines and songs brought to life, with some new twists and turns thrown into the original story. 

This was the final DMHS musical for seniors Marisa Mulryan, Kirra Lindauer, Joaquin Weeda, Drew Wood, and China Omenai. We thank them for so many years of wonderful performances, and wish them well in their future theater endeavors!

Please see below for photos and a cast list from the production!
