The Lancer Dancers held their annual pancake break

The Lancer Dancers held their annual pancake breakfast on Aug. 24 at SM East from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The dancers served pancakes, accepted donated clothes, performed and helped apply glitter tattoos to future and current Lancers that were interested. The breakfast is the team’s largest fundraiser of the year, with tickets costing $10 during presale and $12 at the door. The all-you-can-eat buffet included a variety of pancake toppings, served by the dancers. Juniors Bella Broce and Makena Pruitt sang and played guitar at 8:45 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. The team collected clothing, linens & bedding that spectators were willing to donate in exchange for a tax receipt.

Users of the new “SuperFan” Pep Club app annou

Users of the new “SuperFan” Pep Club app announced on Aug. 14 can now check into school events — from football games to choir concerts — to earn points to compete on leaderboards and redeem prizes funded by Pep Club. While the platform intends to boost school spirit, students and coaches question whether the platform is too unpolished and gimmicky to catch on.

In an Instagram poll of 236 people taken on Aug 19, only 36% of responders had logged into the new app. Those who hadn’t cited glitches in the login stage, as well as confusion about what usernames and information should be used to sign up. Sophomore Owen Williams was able to sign up, but finds the menu clunky and unfinished.

“I don’t see myself using this app,” Williams said. “It’s really laggy and buggy, it’s hard to navigate around and the rewards tab is empty.”

The day started off with all freshmen meeting in the cafeteria before getting in groups with their Link Leaders. Link Leaders are Juniors and Seniors who apply the year prior to be selected. After meeting their Link Leaders the freshmen play games and dress up in themed costumes such as ducks following a piece of bread, wizards and many more in classrooms across the school. After link leaders give the freshman a tour of the school they are brought back into the main gym for a pep assembly including games such as balloon relay races and learning school chants.

When I decided to join Harbinger second semester o

When I decided to join Harbinger second semester of my senior year, my family and friends were confused. I was met with questions like “Don’t you hate writing?” and “Why would you do it if you can’t put it on your college applications?”

I’d never had any interest in journalism and I hadn’t taken an art elective since sophomore year. But when spring semester applications came out, I decided to apply on a gut feeling I’d regret it if I didn’t.

This was my last chance to see what all the “Harbie family” hype was.

What’s the most difficult sport? A heated debate

What’s the most difficult sport? A heated debate between then-juniors Beck Jones, William Norris and their friends. Jones thought, clearly not cross country. It’s a “baby sport.” All you do is run, couldn’t be that hard, right?

“Beckham, I bet you couldn’t make it through a week of cross country practice,” Norris told Jones.

So Jones took up that bet — an ego bet. Only he didn’t leave after one week.

Two years later, now-seniors Jones and Norris are both running on varsity together and preparing to move to Parkville, Missouri and compete in cross country and track for Park University, continuing to train with their high school coach — Rikki Hacker.

After four years, 56 issues, hundreds of hours in

After four years, 56 issues, hundreds of hours in the J-Room and an unthinkable amount of “five minutes” by Tate, the time has finally come. I sit here one final Sunday night staring at my computer struggling to find the right words to wrap up my entire Harbinger experience.

Looking back, I immediately think of one day: my first ads day. 14-year-old freshman me was on cloud nine about making the staff, I was excited for any Harbinger event. So when Catherine, my head editor at the time, approached me on my second week on staff to tell me I was required to sell ads on a Saturday at 10 a.m., I was all in. There was just one small problem: I couldn’t drive.

I sat in the main room brainstorming for 30 minutes, my mind racing for a solution that didn’t involve going into the back room and begging an upperclassman for a ride.

But sadly, that became my reality.
