I am very sorry, and I hope that this does not affect my journalistic integrity, but I must confess that the information displayed in my last article was not entirely truthful or accurate. Stephen Colbert is an American hero, but the teachers did not really select him for student of the week.
The reason I made that mistake was that the true student of the week reminded me very much of Stephen Colbert. He and Colbert are both intelligent, smart, courageous and, of course, modest men, both involved in the field of journalism. The student of the week was of course none other than Atlee Erickson, a man for whom I have a great amount of respect. I hope you don't mind that I am speaking about myself in the third-person, but it is objective and without bias in my articles.
Atlee Erickson was chosen because of his good schoolwork, his hard work in writing weekly articles that are read by intelligent and respectable individuals, and for his attitude of respect, honesty and, above all, modesty. Also, some of the teachers came to a recent realization that he isn't simply a lazy student that does as little as possible, but actually works moderately hard.
The new student of the week is deserving of even more respect. He is a great student, very creative, intelligent, works hard and is one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. Congratulations to David
Ochoa, this week's student of the week. He is a kind person, a talented rapper, and has a very likable and fun personality.
Lavonne “Pogo” Pattee presented her portfolio on April 4, Ricky Giambra presented his portfolio on April 7 and Matthew Tipton presented his on April 11. This is their last requirement before they can graduate Carlé, so congratulations to all of them.
The date for Carlé High School's prom has been set as May 10 and the theme will be the Carlé Moulin Rouge Masquerade Ball. The students are very excited about the upcoming dance.
“Prom is the bomb!” Mia Dupard answered when asked about prom.
On April 19 there is a community service opportunity with the Lake County Land Trust, cleaning
Rodman Slough. Rodman Slough is a wetland that empties into Clear Lake and is home to many forms of beautiful wildlife. A torch will be brought by a John Spriet to cut particularly large pieces of litter.
That is all for this week's Chronicle! I am sorry for any misunderstandings developed from my
last article. Have a great week!
Atlee Erickson is a junior at Carlé High School.

After lunch, everyone visited the California museum. The students got the story of the Japanese internment camps from several survivors of the event.
In the Hall of Fame the students learned about many famous people in our country from actors to Nobel Peace Prize winners. Many of the students also enjoyed viewing the Constitution wall.
Overall, it was a fun and educational trip for everyone!

Our principal, Bill MacDougall, has suddenly left the country without warning. No one knows where he went, but it was last heard that he has gone to India to find himself.
During the confusion caused by Bill's sudden absence, somehow Alan Siegel has established complete control over the school. Alan has studied how dictatorships work, and has established something similar to one at Carlé. I am not saying there is anything wrong with that, of course! If anything the school is better under his rule. I am not saying this just because I am fearful of his policies against negative media. I swear!
The other teachers are very supportive. This is not because all opposition has been crushed before gathering strength. In fact, no one opposes the new dictator's policies (that still exists in the school's records.) We are already in the process of building a statue in his honor.
Even though this is very stirring change, it is not the only exciting event to happen this past week. Angie's biology class has discovered a new species. Using a mix of radiation and cloning techniques they have successfully crossed a goat with a bobcat! Carlé High School is proud to have achieved this scientific landmark.
The students voted for the name of this new species, and decided on calling it an Angie-saurus. The Association of Scientific Species will be here within the month to classify it and give it a Latin name.
We would like to congratulate this week's student of the week, Stephen Colbert. Even though he isn't actually a student at Carlé or any school for that matter, we feel that he deserves it for being such a great American hero. He is also a celebrity, which means he must be better than regular people, right?
His dedication to courage and “truthiness” is really admirable. That is all I have to say for this week's chronicle. Hope you have had a great April Fool's Day!
