WHS AP Lit and Comp students research at local university library Topic is current ‘Hamlet’ criticism project
By Isaiah Hall, Sam Siganos and Austin Hoflock P Literature and Composition students from WHS visited Augustana’s Mikkelson Library Wednesday to conduct research for their “Hamlet” criticism project. The project includes an essay and presentation. Topics range from a critical analysis of the character Hamlet as a tragic hero to the role of female characters in a Shakespearean tragedy. WHS librarian Kerri Smith and Augustana University librarian Jan Brue Enright helped the students with their research. “Students do have the option to create their own topic,” teacher Meghan Woundedhead said. “One student found research to support her analysis regarding the use of imagery in ‘Hamlet.’ Students utilized the library’s books and databases for literary criticism to support their research writing.”

On Oct. 5, the WHS Men’s Choir performed at the University of NebraskaLincoln’s Men’s Choir Festival. Over 400 boys from 19 high schools got together and sang in combined pieces.

Today there’s music for all tastes easily available
Foundation could get $400 million
I was recently privileged to attend the Taylor Swift concert in Fargo, N.D. Monday along with 21,000 other Swifties in the Fargodome. This concert was unlike any one I had ever been to before—it was a huge production with dancers, huge screens, light up wristbands and much more. Whether you are a Taylor Swift fan or not, you can not deny that music is a huge part of most teens’ lives. Today, we have access to most any song ever recorded through our phones, Chromebooks, radios or even a CD player for you old-fashioned adults! I probably listen to music around 2-3 hours per day, and I think it is so insanely awesome there is so much different music available that it can appeal to most anyone. You don’t have to like the same songs or artists as everyone else. It gives each the opportunity to get creative and be unique. For instance, I don’t usually Hear me. . . listen to hip-hop or pop (unless it’s Taylor Swift). Instead, I generMaddie Wiley ally listen to alternative music like Mumford and Sons or The Lumineers, introduced to me by my friend Olivia Neiman. But my personal favorite artist of all time is Hozier. He is widely known for his hit song “Take Me to Church,” but I highly recommend checking out his other songs—you will not be disappointed. No matter if you are into country, pop, rock or indie music like me, it doesn’t matter what you prefer—there is something out there for you. Listen to whatever you desire, and if somebody has anything to say about it, just listen to the wise words of my dear friend Taylor Swift and simply “Shake it Off.” Senior Maddie Wiley is auditioning to be one of Taylor Swift’s back-up dancers.
By Kathleen Gallagher Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (TNS) MILWAUKEE — A federal court jury’s decision against Apple Inc. in a patent infringement case this week has the potential to award nearly $400 million in damages to the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation — but a Madison lawyer said Wednesday that Apple is likely to appeal.

Technology Watch
“Apple has a reputation as a company that does not like to settle,” said Shane Brunner, a partner at the Madison law firm of Merchant & Gould, who is not involved in the case. If Apple appeals and the case moves to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., the jury’s decision could be accepted, rejected or modified, Brunner said. The federal court jury in Madison on Tuesday found that Apple infringed on a patent held by the Wisconsin foundation, known as WARF. The jury also said that the patent for the technology was valid, negating Apple’s argument that it was invalid and no infringement had taken place. That case, which WARF filed in 2014, sought damages related to Apple’s use of the technology behind the patent in its 2013 and 2014 iPhone and iPad lineups. WARF last month filed another lawsuit involving the same patent, but seeking damages for Apple’s use of the technology in its newest products, including the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and iPad Pro.
