Great Escape

March 12, 2014 by lpahomov Leave a Comment

Written By Nicholas Murray

The school library, despite its title, can become one of the most eventful places in the school. One of the reasons for this, is the weird placement of the music room, which is within the library itself.

Of course, I’ve never had an issue with the music room, it was actually really nice to have. As someone who hangs out in the library regularly, I would sometimes become restless and venture in.

The seniors are the main musicians that occupy the library. They often have jam sessions mixing the sounds of the drums, piano and guitars. I remember sit in there and listening to senior Owen Grzywinski play the song “Let it Go,” the hit song from Disney’s Frozen. SO, if you like that song, which I am sure you so, make sure to have him play it for you.

Outside the music room, you can find others gathered together to socialize. The library is an amazing place to meet up with friends to hang out because it is actually quite spacious with a small number of social circle. Hopefully this remains true after this article is published.

Recently, seniors have been joining forces in the library to overcome a huge obstacle. Calculus. If you enter the library you will most likely find a group of students completing a problem set together. If you ever need help, you can go bug one of them for help.

There are money things going on in the library, its just that reading isn’t one of the big ones apparently. Well, where you want to visit for business or pleasure, the library is a nice place to escape to.
