W e h e r e a t P r i o r y demonstrate a high level of class, and thus participate in classy things. For those of you gentlemen out there with a more refined taste in music, there may be no classier group in St. Louis than the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. Led by Music Director David Robertson, The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra is one of the finest in the country, and its performances are the perfect opportunity for us classy gentlemen to enjoy an evening of great music. This season, the symphony boasts an impressive schedule that’s sure to impress, and I’m here to make sure you

don’t miss out on any of the season’s greatest moments.

Coming up on October 10th-12th the SLSO will perform one of Tchaikovsky’s greatest works, the 1812

Overture. This piece is always impressive, and is an early highlight in this impressive 135th season.

My next event that’s not to miss is a one night only performance of Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain. Also on this night, November 21, are four dance episodes from Aaron

Copland’s Rodeo. Expect a dramatic night with a fun finish f r o m C o p l a n d ’s c l a s s i c Americana.

My last selection is an absolute standard in classical

music: Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Running from December 5-7, this show is a must. If you even remotely know classical music, you’ve heard this quintessential

piece, and it always impresses. This season also features a

very special guest appearance from world renowned pianist, Lang Lang. This event, titled t he Red Ve lve t Ba l l , i s definitely on the pricey side, since the gala includes dinner, drinks, dessert, and dancing. Lang Lang is one of the greatest

pianists of all time, and never puts on a show that is anything less than stunning. Did anyone see him perform with Metallica at the Grammy’s? This dude is insanely good, and not to be missed.

The St. Louis Symphony O r c h e s t r a i s a l w a y s a guaranteed night of great music and relaxation. Whether you’re earning brownie points with the ‘rents, having a gentlemen’s night on the town, or even spending some time with that s p e c i a l s o m e o n e , n e v e r overlook the classical music gem of St. Louis. For updates from the Symphony, follow them on twitter, @SLSO. They even follow us, The Record, on twitter.

Liverpool is coming off a last minute win in a midweek Champions League draw which s aw new s ign ing Mar io Balotelli net his first goal for the club. West Ham drew their last game 2-2 and had a fantastic goal from new signing and world cup star Enner Valencia. Liverpool has had trouble breaking down teams in recent weeks evidenced by 1-0 loss to Aston Villa in their last Premier League game. I see one of West Ham’s creative attacking players breaking through early and the defense standing tough but eventually co n ced in g an eq u a l i z e r. Liverpool 1-1 West Ham

Chelsea 3-2 Man City Everton 1-1 PalaceSwansea 2-3 Southampton

After Crystal Palace lost Tony Pulis , the reigning

manager of the year, they have had a poor start to the year with two loses and two draws against lackluster competition. Everton, on the other hand, have had a solid start to the season with a draw against Arsenal and 2-0 win against relegation wary West Brom. This will be a good game for Crystal Palace to bring back the form they had last year and prove that they are a mid-table side. However, I think that Everton with their new and improved offense will be able to beat Crystal Palace’s in form defense. Final Score: Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace

Chelsea 2-2 Man CityLiverpool 2-1 West HamSwansea 3-2 Southampton

Swansea started out the season with three wins before losing to Chelsea 4-2. With that loss they will be hungry for a win. The only thing to feed that hunger is a nice tasty win against Southampton. With

Swansea only two points ahead in the table it will be fiercely fought and Southampton, riding on their high horse after thumping West Ham 3-1 will be too relaxed and will give in easily. The sight of Wilfried Bony will overpower the defense and he will proceed to get his first hat trick of the season Southampton will not leave the game without a goal from Graziano Pelle. This will not be enough and in the end Swansea will pull away nicely stuffed with a win.

Swansea 3-1 SouthamptonChelsea 2-1 Man CityLiverpool 2-1 West HamEverton 1-1 Palace

Chelsea vs Manchester City kicks off this weekend in what should be an enthralling encounter between two of the league's best sides. Chelsea's Spanish striker Diego Costa simply can't stop scoring at the moment, having scored 7 goals in 4 games so far this season.

Look for Cesc Fabregas, former Arsenal and Barcelona man, to make key passes and be the source of all attacks for Chelsea. Stephan Jovetić, the forgotten man at the Etihad last season, made a scintillating start to the season, scoring a brace aga ins t L iverpool . However, it remains to be seen whether he can break into the starting lineup ahead of Džeko and the world class striker that is Sergio Agüero.

Yaya Toure, easily City's player of the season last year, will hope to get back to form in the game against Chelsea this weekend. In a game with strong offenses and leaky defenses thus far, expect Chelsea to edge City with goals from Costa, Schürrle, and Hazard. Final score: 3-2 (Costa, Schürrle, Hazard; Aguero, Džeko)

Swansea 2-2 SouthamptonEverton 2-0 Crystal PalaceLiverpool 1-2 West Ham

Around the school there is murmur: how can I get fine ladies to like me? For some of y o u r o o k i e s t h a t a r e n ’ t naturally gifted when it comes to wooing ladies, I am here to give you some tips on how to do it. There are three key elements in getting any lady’s a t t e n t i o n , s p a r k i n g a conversation, and maybe even a connection.

Confidence

Nothing in the world is more attractive to a lady than confidence. Confidence in a man is the male equivalent of leggings on a woman, it sparks immediate attraction. Girls can sense confidence from a mile away - the way you walk, and the way you carry yourself m a k e a b i g d i f f e r e n c e . Confidence starts with comfort, so be comfortable in what you’re wearing and how you

act and girls will naturally flock.

Hygiene

Throw away those old shirts and shorts with holes in them, and dress to impress. In order to know what’s on the inside of a person, you must first look presentable on the outside. Who would you rather have a conversation with - a girl with baggy pajamas, slippers, and her hair in curlers; or a girl in high heels, a red dress, and her hair straightened? The answer is simple (for most, I hope). You would probably choose the ten in the red dress any day of the week. It’s the same case with guys. It doesn’t matter if you have the personality of a brick or a hummingbird, because a complete stranger judges based on appearance. That’s why, if you’re going out, make sure you dress to impress. Ask your mom if you aren’t sure, she will probably help out (no shame).

Play hard to get, and I mean HARD

Your personality can be fully torqued, but you still need to play the game. Vaporize the ladies with your personality but don’t be overeager. Us Priory gentlemen are jewels amongst the dung of MICDS and Burroughs students, but, we can’t forget that we have to play hard to get. After all, our time is valuable, and we need to make sure the ladies understand that. Be personable and nice; compliment the lady and open doors for her, but DO NOT go overboard!

If you listen to my tips, your o n l y p r o b l e m w i l l b e narrowing down the number of potential women you can take to Homecoming. Get out there, socialize, and vaporize the ladies with your charm and good looks. One day you may become an official lady-killer just like me.

S t e w , w h y d o t h e workers a t McDona lds always get my order wrong?

Many have tried to answer this question and failed, but being previously employed by McDonalds, I have an answer. Working at McDonalds can be a very monotonous job, so the workers come up with games to play while on the job. One of the most popular games is one where the workers try to see who can mess up an order

the worst without the customer complaining.

S t e w, I j o i n e d t h e juggling club and I am having second thoughts. What do I do?

I have a shor t t e rm solution for you. All you have to do is forge a doctor’s note stating that you have sprained the ulnar collateral ligament in your thumb, known by the j u g g l i n g c o m m u n i t y a s “Jugglers Thumb.” This will only buy you 3-4 weeks while you plan your permanent escape. Good Luck.

Hey Stew, Mr. Bussen really scares me. Is he crazy? What do I do?

Yes my friend, yes he is. The only way to solve your problem is to out-crazy him. I suggest wearing a tie that is uglier and shorter than his. Or, if you are desperate, I would talk to Mr. Suarez, the master of all things Bussen.

This week, the people down at NASA discovered and observed what is currently the smallest known galaxy, M60-UCD1.   This galaxy is labeled under the new class “Ultra-Compact Dwarf” (UCD), meaning it has around 200 million stars (compared to our own 300 billion) but is less than 200 light years across.  Most Dwarf Galaxies are known to be weak, and very quickly get absorbed into stronger and bigger systems.   But UCD1 has a little surprise at its center, a supermassive black hole, about the mass of 40 million stars (for those of you without your calculator on hand, thats about 21 nonillion kg, which is roughly 15% of the weight of the entire galaxy in a single point).  Research is suggesting that UCD1 was once a huge galaxy, but that some larger galaxy (which is literally all of them) must have stripped it of the dark matter that exists on the edge of most galaxies, and then it began to shrink and become less circular.   All this is very exciting for this tiny little powerhouse galaxy, but astronomers predict that UCD1 will still eventually be swallowed up by its parent galaxy, M60, which promises to be one of the most disappointing David and Goliath stories ever told.

"I ask people if they're hungry. They almost always say yes. And then I offer them a dog

treat.  They think I'm crazy, but I'm just trying to make

them smile.  But I may be a tad crazy too."

"What has been the saddest moment of your life so far?""When my dad left my mom and I when I was three.""What has been the happiest moment?""When my dad came back when I was ten, and proposed to my mom.  I just remember the smile on my mom's face.  I swear she smiled for months straight.  My parents never got married at first when they had me. My dad had to leave because him and my mom were fighting over money struggles a lot, and I was the main money struggle.  He wanted to see me, but my parents agreed it would be easier on me if I was only raised by one parent.  But my dad waited and saved up his money.  He always tells me that it was the hardest seven years of his life, but that I was worth the wait! Oh god, Im so happy remembering these things that I'm starting to cry!”

"This will actually be our second wedding.  We got married when we were about five

years old. My brother was the minister and her sister made her a dress out of

socks and dress shirts.  I've loved her since before I can remember, and now I

get to love her till I stop being able to remember things."

Book Reviews: Storm Front

By Andrew Swyers’15Staff Writer

Openly practicing wizard takes on murder mystery.This was the under-ten-word summary that a classmate of mine gave about the first Dresden Files book: Storm Front. Storm Front is written by Jim Butcher, and features Harry Dresden, the main character who is in the yellow pages under wizard. It is set in modern day Chicago, where H a r r y h e l p s t h e P o l i c e Department solve special cases, also operating as a private investigator. He joins a excellent cast of characters, i n c l u d i n g a n i n i t i a l l y

stereotypical police lieutenant, a talking skull, and a ruthless mob boss that occasionally acts for selfless reasons. The books present a kind of dual world in which s o m e p e o p l e a r e aware of what magic i s a n d s o m e g o throughout their lives without an idea. The world includes vampire, fairies, demons, sorcerers and much more, as the mythos is expanded in subsequent books.As aforementioned, the plot of Storm Front involves Harry attempting to discover who is responsible for a string of particularly grisly murders

involving magic. Harry is forced to scour the underworld, both mundane and magical, in

an attempt to learn more about the killer. In

addition, a woman hires him to find her husband who has gone missing. The story is told strictly

f r o m H a r r y ’ s perspective, and features

cultural references to classic movies such as Star Wars. Butcher also avoids a more common fantasy theme, that is, the ignorant main character. Instead, Harry, while not omniscient, knows quite a bit about the magical world around him. Storm Front also

deals with older characters, none of whom have the eagerness of fantasy teens. Harry comes with a dark background, and you quickly get the sense that relations between him and other wizards could loosely be described as “rocky”. Harry tries to do the best he can, but is far from a moral absolutist. The magic is not sharply defined, but Butcher minds his characters’ limits and makes sure that they exhibit an appropriate amount of power. This book is around 320 pages and is a very quick read. The Dresden Files currently consists of 15 books (and counting), all of which are in our school library.

You know what really grinds my gears? 9/11 conspiracy theorists. Like, really? Are you kidding? Thats the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard!

Last fourth of July, me and the squad were hanging out at forest park, tossing the disc and what not, when these two bearded dudes caught my eye. They were holding a big sign that said “9/11 was an inside job.” Are you freaking serious? It is the Fourth of July and

these two donkeys are sucking the patriotism right out of the air. To put it lightly, their vibes and my vibes were clashing.

These losers were saying something about how in order for the towers to fall at free fall speed (which they claim they did), there would have had to have been bombs planted at the base of each tower. I, having the intellectual prowess that I have, decided to humor them. I responded by saying that, assuming

they were correct, it was completely possible that terrorist cells in the USA could have planted the bombs.

The response to this was, “Cave men are not capable of such an elaborate plan.” This was right about the time that the new caliphate in the M i d d l e E a s t h a d b e e n established, so naturally I brought that up, to which the nut-jobs responded, “what’s a caliphate?”

At this point, I walked away before I fo l lowed through with the urge to crash my fist into their faces. So yeah, 9/11 conspiracy theorists, thats what really grinds my gears!

This Thursday, the Priory Auto Club will be hosting a car show in the circle drive. Even though this is the club’s first event, we are expecting it to be

a pretty quality show. In particular, we are most excited a b o u t t h e 1 9 9 4 F e r r a r i Testarossa and the 2011 Aston Martin DBS, that will be featured in Thursday’s show. The Ferrari is powered by a 4.9L flat-12 engine mounted in

the middle of the car. It has a claimed performance of 390 hp at 6300 rpm and 360 ft-lbs of torque. This propels the Ferrari from 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds and onto a top speed of 180 mph. The Testarossa is one of the most iconic cars from the

late 80s to the mid 90s, only r e a l l y r i v a l e d b y t h e Lamborghini Countach. The list of cars includes: 2015 Audi S3, 2 0 1 3 S u b a r u S Ti , 2 0 1 3 Mitsubishi Evo MR, 1970 D a t s u n 1 6 0 0 , a n d 2 0 0 3 Chevrolet Corvette.

NFL Update

By George Ahlering ’16Staff Writer

On Monday night, as the rain came down and the temperature dropped, the Rebels were preparing to face an annual powerhouse team, DeSmet. The kickoff was at 6pm and the Rebels came out strong, obviously controlling the game for the first 25 minutes. Ryan Mulqueeny, recently back from injury immediately showed he was healthy by netting a beautiful goal after dribbling around four players. This first goal put the Rebels up 1-0 and shocked DeSmet, who seemed to have brushed off Priory as a weak team. Later in the game DeSmet showed their resilience by skidding an unlucky cross, over the wet turf and into the net. The game was 1-1 and

becoming very physical and neither team with the clear physical advantage, the fight was just beginning.

The Rebels held off t he Spa r t ans by w i n n i n g b a l l control, headers, a n d c l o s i n g down quickly on defense . Priory caught a break when there was a penalty called just outside the 18 yard box, Ryan Mulqueeny placed a beautiful shot into the bottom left corner. This put the Rebels back in the lead for 23 more minutes, with only 25 left in the game. Priory playing g rea t , compac t de fense , DeSmet had no choice but to

use the “k ick and run” technique. In the final 2 minutes of the game, with victory in sight, another unlucky cross skidded in for a

goal for DeSmet, tying t h e g a m e . T h e

R e b e l s w e r e down but not out as they played their hearts out the last minute t r y i n g t o avoid ext ra

time. At the e n d o f 8 0

minutes, the score remained 2-2 and the

game was headed for overtime.

After only two minutes of extra time, there was a dirty hit on John Klaesner by the DeSmet defense. John took and

elbow to the side of the face and was forced, reluctantly, off the field and into the care of the physical therapist for fear of concussion. But a few minutes later Priory caught DeSmet off guard with a counter attack stringing from a midfielder to Dan Kelly, who did a beautiful turn and slotted a p a s s r i g h t t o R y a n Mulqueeny who did his magic once more, dribbling around a defender, then around the goalie and netting the winner with a left foot shot to the open goal. Final: Priory 3- DeSmet 2

The Rebels came out to play Monday and showed everyone that they aren’t a team to be overlooked. Come out and watch us take on Clayton at home on Saturday (tomorrow) at 10 am.

A Look at a few 0-2 Teams

New Orleans Saints - A no doubt playoff team before the season, the Saints already have two road losses under their belt (Keyword: Road). Last year they were a perfect 8-0 at home, so Saints fans shouldn't be stressing too much; they can easily turn it around at the Superdome. Despite the fact that they've lost by a combined five points, there were some disturbing moments I thought wouldn't be a problem. Blown coverages and bad angles defensively were exposed, so I'll be looking to Rob Ryan to see how he handles it. With the amount of progress he made

last year (from 32nd to 4th in total defense), he'll definitely make some sort of adjustment.

Indianapolis Colts - Looking like another optimistic 0-2 team, they have a soft schedule up ahead and Andrew Luck is getting better every week. After grabbing a 14 point lead against the Eagles, they could've had the W if they didn't switch to a conservative defense, which let up on the blitz. Chip Kelly's offense thrives off that. Still a playoff team in my mind.

The Pros and Cons of Colin Kaepernick

Pros - Creates big plays from nothing and can move the chains with his legs. On the

final drive of the game, the Bears were lined up with a double A gap and blitzed the slot corner, who made Frank Gore look like he was on roller skates. Kaepernick jukes the corner and escapes outside for a 15 yard run + first down. These are the plays people love to see and are why the 49ers encourage him to use his legs.

Cons - Misses ordinary passes from the pocket. Also on the final drive of the game, Crabtree was on 15 yard dig route and Kaepernick got sacked by Willie Young. Re-watching the play, it was easy to tell that Crabtree was open, and if Kaepernick just used some anticipation, it would have been a first down, not a loss of yards. Two plays later,

h e

scrambled from the pocket

and tried to hit TE Derek Carrier downfield, but was s c r eened and t o s sed an interception.

A QB like Peyton Manning wouldn't have converted that 15 yard rush, but we all know he would've hit Crabtree in stride. On the other hand, Kaepernick keeps teams honest with his double threat. It just comes down to what type of QB you like.

‘MURICA

By George Ahlering ’16Staff Writer

On Wednesday September 10th, Fr. Ralph, Fr. Cassian, and nine Pr iory s tudents traveled to the Missouri State Capitol in anticipation of votes being cast regarding three pieces of legislation protecting the unborn. The vetoed bills were HB 1307, which extends the mandatory waiting period prior to receiving an abortion from 24 to 72 hours, and HB 1 1 3 2 , w h i c h e x t e n d s t a x c r e d i t s t o p r e g n a n c y resource centers, maternity homes, and food pantries. The Priory group a r r i v e d i n Jefferson City, and immediately assembled with the other 300-400 pro-life supporters in the capitol building rotunda for a rally. Nearly all of the major Missouri pro life groups were represented at the ra l ly, inc luding the Li fe Runners , Show Me Life: M i s s o u r i , S t . L o u i s Archdiocese, Missouri Right To Life, Coalition For Life: St. Louis, Respect Life Apostolate, and St. Louis Defenders. The opposition to the bills was Planned Parenthood and their supporters, who only amounted to 100-150 people. Planned Parenthood was so concerned about these bills that they flew in their president and other ranking executives to try and lobby with the lawmakers, because they know the bills (Especially HB 1307) will hurt their profits because of how many less mothers will chose abortion after 72 hours of

deliberation and reflection. During the rally, multiple s peake r s s poke on t he i r encounters with abortions. One was a mother whose daughter was raped and impregnated at age 14. She had decided it would be best to abort the baby, but was converted after talking with a pro life organization. Her grandchild, now 3, was on the stage that day, happy as can be. Another was a woman

conceived in rape, whose mother was on the verge of aborting due to pressure from her family and friends. Luckily, she knew the right thing to do and ignored all of the pressure and decided to have the baby. She began to cry when she mentioned her mother, and said she couldn’t help but thank and be inspired by her mother’s courage and resilience against pressure. The last was a former m a n a g e r a t a P l a n n e d Parenthood in Texas. She talked about the abortion industry, how it is all about convincing a mother to abort merely for profits. She said the Planned Parenthood she ran for 5 years had abortion quotas that they had to meet in order to remain open and turn and acceptable profit. She quit after 7 years, once she finally

couldn’t stand it anymore. After the rally, the Priory students del ivered le t ters to their r e s p e c t i v e s e n a t o r s a n d representatives, urging them to vote ‘yes’ on both of the bills. After speaking with a couple of senators and representatives, the group headed over to a brief final prayer service in the church. The the House of Representatives voted 117-44 in suppor t o f HB 1307 ,

o v e r r i d i n g t h e Governors veto. The

Senate finalized the override late Wednesday night a f t e r a f a i l e d filibuster attempt by voting 23-7 s h o r t l y a f t e r . W e d n e s d a y e v e n i n g , t h e H o u s e o f Representatives a l s o v o t e d t o override HB 1132 with a count of

123-37 and it easily passed the Senate with

a vote of 27-2. These new laws will go into affect in one month, and should help to continue the annual reduction of abortions in Missouri.

All in all, the Priory Pro-Life Club, specifically Father Ralph, Father Cassian, Chris White, Liam Sehnert, George Ahlering, Connor Wright, Thomas DiMarco, Winston Senor, Patrick Charles, Tommy Holmes, and George Hamilton, was very successful in rallying against abortion. If you or anyone you know may be interested in joining the Pro Life Club or attending the March For Life in Washington DC this winter, contact Fr. Ralph, Chris White, Liam Sehnert, or George Ahlering.
