He eventually became a bishopand was sent by the pope as a missionary toIreland.St. Patrick also drove the snakes out ofIreland. A common pagan symbol is thesnake so a common interpretation is that hedrove paganism out.The shamrock was a tool he used to helpconvert people to Christianity. Pagan tribescouldn’t understand the trinity (Father, sonand Holy Spirit) so he picked up a commonclover.RENTALL AND SALESFor All Your Rental Needs!Tools Lawn & Garden Contractor HomeMaintenance Power Tools Floor Machines Carpet CleanersParty andSpecialEvents Tables Chairs Tents Risers FoodService DecorationsThe shamrock became a religious symbolin Ireland and later became the officialflower of Ireland.Today the holiday is celebrated manyplaces.

Get real, nobodyhas that many friends.What’s Hot: Guys wearing kiltsfor the musical.What’s Not: The view from the pit.By Amanda SmithSix Lafollette students received artawards from the Wisconsin Scholastic ArtCompetition in 2006. Senior Yeeling Thaoreceived a silver key in Etching, seniorQuentin Sears received a silver key in graphics,junior Kevin Werth received a silver keyin drawing and a gold key in relief print,Junior Jasmine Barmore received a gold keyin etching, and graduate Luke Noble alsoreceived a gold key in etching.Twenty four students from La Follettehave gotten an award in the last five yearsfrom Brady Nichols’ art class.Earning these awards was not easy work,all of the students took at least a month tocreate the art projects. To enter the competition,the art teacher sends in students’ finishedpieces under one of the subjects mentionedbefore. It gets juried for state recognitionalong with at least 2000 other works andonly 150 are given silver keys and 100 goldkeys.“It is outstanding just to get into theshow,” Nichols said.A silver key piece is displayed in an artgallery in Milwaukee along with the goldkeys. A gold key piece moves on to NewYork for national recognition.“Just with it being judged by the statejuries it feels good so if it goes to nationals itis like an artist’s dream,” Barmore said. “Itfeels good to be one of the best artists in thestate or maybe even the nation.”Seniors can turn their art portfolio,required to have at least 30 pieces, in forportfolio recognition. Having a portfoliolooks good for college applications, especiallywith a silver key or gold key. Anyfreshmen or sophomores who enjoy drawingmay want to get started on portfolios.What’s Hot: Going to sportingevents.What’s Not: Arranging a massivefight at Wendy’s afterwards.What’s Hot: Having our first snowday in five years.What’s Not: Being stuck at homedue to massive snow pile up.What’s Hot: Walking to class withyour friends.What’s Not: Getting separated fromyour friend in the mob rushingto the latest cat fight.Spring Break Plans RangeFrom Busy to LazySpring Bread is coming up in early March, and many La Follette students have sharedtheir plans for their week long vacation.

March 3, 2006 9Artist of the MonthSculpting the FutureBy Katie CroninAfter taking ceramics,painting, and art metals,artist of the month AdinaMoore (12) admits that herfavorite part of these classeshas always been seeing whateveryone else creates.

Her art reflectsher emotions and views onlife. “It frees me to makewhatever comes naturallydepending on what I feellike,” Moore said. Sheencourages underclassmento also use everything in lifeas inspiration.The ceramic house that Moore built.Photo by Andrew NebelYellowcard Makes MoreMature, Mellow MusicBy Cari HaugeYellowcard has grown up. Their new album, Lights andSounds, was released late January and debuted at numberfive on the charts, higher than any of their previous albums.In the first week, the album sold just over 90,000 copies.The new album is much different than the previous album,Ocean Avenue. The new mature sound features piano in theintro and continues their unique use of the violin. Thoughhaving a violin seems to be a slightly bad omen in the rockcommunity, Yellowcard uses it with more success than anyband since Dave Mathews Band.The bands lyrics have also matured. In the song TwoWeeks from Twenty the band takes a political stand againstthe war. It tells the story of a how a man was forced into thewar, of his death, and how it effects those close to him.The band’s opinion of the war is very obvious in the chorus.“Your heroes say that miles away, we lost another onethat we sent with a gun. They’re gonna miss him, he was twoweeks from twenty and there’s still no shame from theman to blame.”Their overall sound has begun to move away fromtheir original pop punk sound. Though they continuetheir characteristic guitar riffs at the beginning of themajority of their songs, the layering of the instrumentsis perfectly balanced throughout most of thealbum. The layering provides an added mellow feelingthroughout the CD.While making the album, the band created a characterto take out their aggressions on. They named herHolly Wood and she is featured in a couple songs onthe album, including the song Holly Wood Died. Thecharacter seems to represent the celebrity life andtheir distaste for it.Lights and Sounds is an album that can be playedover and over again, and each time there is somethingnew to be found within the music. Yellowcard producedmusic that can be appreciated by people of allages.New Album Doesn’t PleaseOld Three 6 Mafia FansBy Kyle Mooney“The Most KnownUnknowns” by Three SixMafia is a very uniquealbum.It features three of theoriginal six members of thegroup, DJ Paul, Juicy J, andCrunchy Black.“The Most KnownUnknowns” contains twentytracks of Memphis style rap.The fast backgroundbeats are easy to listen to,but can get repetitive attimes.In there earlier CDs thebeats were darker and hadslower rhythms that fit theirmusic better.The lyrics and many ofthe songs are questionable.Instead of using their “gangster”approach, they arebeginning to go commercialwith party music.Seventy percent of thenew songs are about goingto the club or dancing onpoles.The thirty percent of theother songs have greatlyrics, the smoothness of thedelivery is horrible, it goesfrom screaming to mellowthen back up, very random.They seem to be usingCrunchy Black a lot on thisalbum too, he is known forbeing a beat maker not a rapper,so his rhymes are not upto par.This album doesn’t meetmy expectations as a longtime fan. If you’re new tothe group, try it; the musicmight be for you.If you’re a long time fanof the group, go with all oftheir older albums, “MysticStylez”, “Choices”, “WorldDomination”, “When theSmoke Clears” and “DaUnbreakables.”On a one to ten scale , ISupport student journalism.Advertise with The Lance.Culver’s of Cottage Grove4401 Cottage Grove RoadMadison, WI 53716Soup & Flavor Hotline 608-268-0216Phone: 608-268-0211 Fax: 608-268-0217give this album a six.
