Students spotted UFOs above NC today. As the aircraft hung there ominously in the sky, people in the surrounding areas have begun to worry. Their purpose for being there remains unknown although some speculate it relates to the notorious cockroach whisper. “They’re finally here. They’re here for him. Oh boy.” senior Zach Willaims said.

With pollution levels at an all-time high, an NC club started an initiative to help lower this problem. From vending machines to lunchrooms, students started to tackle the problem by eating it. “I actually don’t mind it, I’m eating snacks all the time and as far as I know plastic has zero calories so this isn’t really doing anything to me,” NC sophomore Arty Fischel said.

The phrase “global warming” reminds us all of the inviolability of the planet we call home. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) advises those who want to help lessen the effects of global warming to do their part by reducing their individual carbon footprint. The NRDC says people can buy energy-efficient appliances for their home, or reduce their emissions by using public transportation and carpooling when possible, but why bother? Scientists can not even prove that this global warming thing actually exists. Why should we turn our lives upside down for a problem we do not need to fix?

Journalism students on The Chant staff of 1957 predicted the novel crisis of the coronavirus in 2020. The paper, written anonymously, described how the disease would pose a dangerous risk to the elderly. NC students remain shocked at the accuracy of the prediction. “I think it’s crazy how something written so long ago is predicting what’s happening now. I don’t really think that this is a coincidence but I don’t know any other explanation for it,” NC senior Nadia Aidan said.

“Yes, the rumors are true. Unlike the alleged pool on the roof of the Deal building that we tell all the freshmen about, the bomb shelter is real. Did we want students to know about it? Not really,” NC Principal Matthew Moody said. A recent perusal of The Chant’s archives revealed that the bomb shelter built during NC’s initial construction might still exist. “We don’t really know much about it though, so there’s not a lot I can tell you… no one has been down there in ages,” Moody said.

The NC administration announced its new uniform policy Friday afternoon. The announcement sparked controversy among students, who remain unsure of how to feel about the enforced uniform policy beginning next fall. The new policy serves to help NC create school-wide unity and help inspire students to perform to the best of their ability academically, as well as in all aspects of their life. “While uniforms may seem like an abrupt change to students right now I know it will prove to be beneficial in the long run,” NC counselor Michelle Perlin said.
