By: Kelly McDermott This year was a great season for both of our St. Pat’s soccer teams. The girl’s record of winning games wasn’t the best, but they improved very much over the span of the season. They ended up only winning one game against Boynton, 8 to 4. The girls were so happy about their win that their coach and some of the parents were nice enough to take them out for ice cream afterwards. In that game Kayli Keenan and Kelly McDermott both scored 3 goals. Also, Jessica Newey and Emilie Larendeau scored their first goals. Other great first goals of the season were scored by Geanna Silvar and Caroline Bond. All that said it was a great season for the girls! I am sure most of you know that the boys St. Pat’s soccer team had a great season. They made it all the way to the final game in the playoffs, but lost a very tough game to Derryfield. It is great that the team was able to bring back the trophy for 2nd place in the TriCounty league Division 4. Many 8th graders were on the team, including Jack Frey, Max Odryna, Aidan Donaghey, Liam O’Connell, Zach DeBay, Theron Zajchowski, and Aidan Caouette. What a great way for them to end their last fall season at St. Pat’s. Congratulations to all the team members on an awesome season! Guess Where!

By: Ashley Pelletier By: Stephanie Rossmeisl September Gravity Starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock/ rated PG-13 Gravity (in theaters October 4th) is a new science fiction movie starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock. The story is about how a medical engineer and an astronaut work together to survive after an accident leaves them stranded in space. I have not seen this movie so I have nothing to comment about, but I’ve heard it’s a really good movie. If you like science fiction and space adventures, this may be the movie for you! Free Birds Starring Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson, and Amy Poehler/ rated PG Free Birds (in theaters November 1st) is an upcoming movie starring Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson, and Amy Poehler. It is about how two turkeys with different points of view put aside their differences to go back in time and take turkeys off the Thanksgiving Day menu. I would recommend this to the younger kids reading this because I have seen the trailer, and it is a bit corny. However, if you like the kind of cuteness that comes with animated children’s movies, this would probably be for you!

I have reviewed both systems and saw copies of the systems. So here are the pros and cons of the Xbox 1 and the Play Station 4. Let’s start out with controllers. The PS4 has a bulky controller but contains a touch screen for faster selection on the screen. The Xbox 1 has gone in a different direction. Microsoft has chosen to internalize the battery pack into the back of the con- By: Max Beland troller. The Xbox 1 has also incorporated quicker reaction times into the left and right triggers. Finally the moment you’ve been waiting for the PS4 has a 3D enablement if you have a 3D TV. It all comes down to the games. Here are the games being released at the launch: Dead Rising 3, Titan Fall, Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag, God of War, Call of Duty Ghost, along with many other games. So that’s it for this month! Harvest Feast! By: Allison Newey This month, on October 23rd, St. Patrick did their annual Harvest Feast. The 2nd Grade played Pilgrims and 3rd Graders dressed as their Indian friends. The Indians canoed down Beaver Brook and met the Pilgrims in the woods near the field. Siblings and family members attended the celebration and came afterwards for the feast. The recently introduced Pilgrims and Native Americans gathered in the clubhouse for a Thanksgiving Feast that consisted of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce. Next year, the Harvest Feast will commence again and the 2nd graders will be the Native Americans and the current 1st Graders will be Pilgrims. This celebration is important for all students, because it teaches us the celebration and history of Thanksgiving. Photos by: Sidney Bavin And Olivia O’Toole Halloween Story By: Olivia O’Toole Once upon a time, a long time ago, before Halloween was about candy and fun, it was just about the scaring. There were two friends, a boy named Charlie and a girl named Lori. They went out for a walk on Halloween night. Charlie was tired of walking so he thought, “Why not take the shortcut?” “Are you sure it’s safe on Halloween night?” asked Lori. “Of course! Why not?” Charlie said with a big smile on his face. They went off into the woods. “Are you sure this is safe? It’s really spooky and there are a lot of dark scary shadows,” Lori said. All of a sudden Charlie jumped up and yelled, “BOO! Ha, ha – got you! Now, let’s go home before something really happens,” Charlie said. So the two friends ran home. THE END Dancing With The Stars By: Sidney Bavin Dancing with the Stars is a program that pairs professional ballroom dancers with famous celebrities of TV, Movies, music, and sports. Each week the pairs of dancers compete against one another with routines choreographed by the professional ballroom dancer for the type of dance chosen for the week. The professional ballroom dance judges score the dancers based on their technique and performance ability. During the show the home viewing audience can call in to vote for their favorite pair of dancers. Dancing with the Stars is not just Ballroom dance; it is many different types of dance including Jazz, Hip-Hop, and sometimes even Acrobatics and Tap. The competitions get fierce and emotional, especially when the dancers get voted off the show. This year, some of the contestants include Leah Remini, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Bill Engvall, and Corbin Bleu. This is a show that can be exciting for all ages [even kids], so turn your TV to channel 5 at 8 pm on Mondays to watch Dancing with the Stars!!
