Journalism is my enemy. They say keep your friend

Journalism is my enemy.

They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer — at least I’ve done that.

Dow Tate would say that’s cliché, trite, overused. I can hear him hissing, “that’s all you could think of for your senior column?” But it’s true. My enemy is so close to me we’re practically inseparable by now.

The SM East theater department announced its 2025-

The SM East theater department announced its 2025-26 season at its annual banquet on May 17. The upcoming season includes the Musical Revue theme as “The Best of Broadway,” the Fall Musical “Bye Bye Birdie” and the Winter Play “Silent, but Deadly.”

To choose which shows the department will perform, English teacher Brian Capello read a plethora of musical scripts and assessed what other schools have done in the past.

“We just kind of talk about it one way or the other, and then get into what we feel is best fit for the season for the students we have,” theater teacher Tom DeFeo said.

Navy blue and bright yellow floats rode the street

Navy blue and bright yellow floats rode the streets of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Trumpets were blaring, students were cheering, cheerleaders were tumbling and senior Claire Rogers was standing on the sidewalk beaming.

Augustana University was hosting their annual Viking Parade — their version of a homecoming parade. Rogers was thrilled her soon-to-be college would have a similar tradition to “Lancer Day.”

Rogers committed to Augustana University for what the National Collegiate Athletics Association refers to as a newcoming sport— acrobatics and tumbling. Currently, only 50 NCAA colleges offer this program in all divisions.

Forty girls in pastel and floral sundresses filled

Forty girls in pastel and floral sundresses filled six rows of black chairs inside Mission Hills Country Club. The girls all faced forward and listened as SM East parent Sara Stein stood at the front of the room explaining what various “sorority slang” words meant.

Stein, the owner of Modern Etiquette Made Easy — a company that offers numerous etiquette classes, ranging from preschool lunchroom etiquette to tips for landing a job — was teaching a Sorority Savvy class to East and St. Teresa’s Academy seniors. After teaching a cotillion class three years ago, her interest in working with kids in a classroom setting grew, inspiring her to launch Modern Etiquette Made Easy last year.

With the pressure of first impressions and perfectly worded conversations during rush season, Stein created her Sorority Savvy class to help seniors feel confident and prepared for the process.

It’s the end of the school day in April, then-freshman Isabel is daydreaming in her World Regional studies class to avoid studying for finals. She looks over and sees her friend and desk partner, Lucy Wolf, editing a social media post for The Harbinger on her computer.

Fast forward to the fall of sophomore year, Isabel is making her first social post, now holding her own spot on staff. Nudging Lucy — together again, but this time in the J-room. Help! She whispers as Lucy looks at her off-centered, ugly post that’s far from the Harbinger Instagram’s standards.

Many late-night deadlines, calls filled with tears and Lucy’s assistance on quite literally every very rough post later, and Isabel is suddenly offered an Assistant Social Media Editor position.
