Since school resumed a couple months ago, vending machines around campus have gone through some major changes.
It started with simple pieces of paper that had been taped to the machines stating that the machine was “out of order.”
While some students did not take notice of this change, other frequent purchasers began to grow a bit worried.
Brophy students study history and learn about the Ice Age, the Dark Age and the Middle Ages; Brophy is now feeling the full impact of the Tablet Age.
In the Tablet Age, the only thing that remains unchanged is change itself.
As Tablets became the campus norm, Brophy changed from a typical high school into a cyber-school. Now that every student possesses a Tablet, there are e-mail announcements, online quizzes and the technology room is busier than ever.
A great education, an exceptional athletic program, many extra-curricular activities; all of these and more are contributing factors to why students come to Brophy.
But what is it that attracts teachers?
Brophy added six new faculty members this year: Ms. Lauren Karp, Ms. Maria Dominguez-Sullivan, Mr. John Taylor, Mr. Bosco Ho, SJ, Mr. Michael Knickrehm, SJ, and Mr. Eddie Cullen.
Good morning, Brophy! Just a few quick announcements before we begin this year at The Roundup from Editors in Chief Dallas Ducar ’10 and Andrew Atallah ’10.
This past summer on May 31, Brophy sent 10 students on a cultural immersion trip to Santa Fe, Argentina.
As every school year ends, many students think about the freedom and relaxation that accompanies summer.
A select few, however, have the opportunity to travel to another country and immerse themselves into another culture, learning many new things about that country and quite often about themselves.
Welcome to Classroom 2.0.
This year’s incoming freshmen make up the fourth “Tablet class,” marking the first year in Brophy history that all four classes are equipped with personal computers.
Brophy promises to make students men for others by the time graduation comes around, but what else does Brophy change in it’s students?
Current seniors can think back to freshman year and remember the political controversy surrounding the Summit on immigration. Did Brophy help to shape the political and spiritual views of those students?
Anyone who has visited AJ’s on Friday during the fall, winter or spring is familiar with the tidal wave of collared shirts and red clothing that arrives around noon.
Swelling lines, opening wallets and cash registers, devoured meals and filled tables are all results of the customer monsoon that is the younger portion of the Brophy student body.
H1N1 Influenza, Swine Flu, is being portrayed by media and health officials worldwide as the next vast epidemic.
Dean of Students Mr. James Bopp said he thinks Brophy is ready and that as long as students use good hygiene and have a general education about how to prevent getting sick, then the campus will remain healthy.
