Best Stuff[edit]

Jon McNamara - 2004-2005- Longest time to risk life and limb by continuing to ride a bike that was bought for 15 dollars at the flea market in 2000 well past its lifetime. Continued to ride the bike durning the school year after the tires were bent(in different directions), brakes ceased to exist, steel frame was rusted, and a number of other issues. Rode the bike after the tire popped by crafting a new tire out of the old with duct tape. After riding said bike, Mike was reported saying "Yeah Jon, your bike is shit, the whole time I thought I was gonna die, thanks a lot." (paraphrased)

Unknown students built a water barometer in the main academy staircase during the night of October 10-11, 2007. It worked in the beginning and was calibrated, but at some point thereafter it ceased functioning, presumably from a leak that destroyed the vacuum at the top. The structure, which had it's base at the bottom of the main stairwell, but which had to be read from fourth floor (a water barometer must be about 10.3 meters, or 34 feet, tall), was taken down by the administration the same day it was constructed. Some of the materials used in construction were removed from the dumpster by unknown students, which led to rumors that at some point a second barometer might be constructed, but this did not happen.
