Time for first period. We rush toward our classes, glancing at cell phones and waving hurried good-byes to friends. Ringg. Another flurry of chaos begins as we repeat the process, this time rushing toward our second class of the day. Ringg. And again. Ringg. And again. With most of our days spent cooped up in classrooms and with naught but six minutes to walk through the halls between classes, it’s easy to overlook the essential group of people at American who spend their days sorting out the destruction caused by these student tornadoes: our custodians.  \nWhen students do see our custodians, they’re usually cleaning. Jacob Carlson, who has been working at American for around five years, is one of those guys.“During lunch, I make sure there’s no big spills in the MPR. And then after that, I clean the kitchen area, the MPR area, and the boys locker room, and then all the bathrooms that are around them,” he explains. But that’s not all the custodians do. The day custodians, who get here as early as 6:30 AM, have tasks far beyond just cleaning. “If there’s anything to set up for events, they’ll do that in the morning—delivering  \nContinued on page 8  \nAccording to Joyce Liu, a senior at American, “After lunch, it looks like a tornado swept through, and by the time school’s out, it looks like nothing ever happened. That’s kind of magical.” Here, Raul Canedo is working some of that magic. He has been a custodian at American High for upwards of seven years and works alongside the rest of the custodial staff to keep our school running smoothly.  \nWhy I Hate Shakespeare  \nOpinion: A hit piece on the most overrated author of all time amidst calls for a more diverse reading curriculum  \nAnika Aggarwal  \nStaff Writer  \nI really hate reading Shakespeare. Touted asthe greatest writer of all time, Shakespeare had an incredible influence  \non English language and English literature. Despite his influence, his plays are no longer relevant for our English classrooms and should be the first to go when we replace them for  \nPC: Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; Museum purchase (object no. 1976.35)  \na more diverse reading list.  \nWilliam Shakespeare was one playwright, only one perspective from one moment in time and space. Much of our time is spent reading his plays, with one seemingly popping up every other year [since as early as 7th grade in FUSD] . Reading only one of his plays would be enough, which brings me to another point: Why are we reading plays that were meant to be watched?  \nShakespeare never intended for his plays to be read, they were meant tobe performed and viewed by an audience in a theater. Much of the writing in place was meant to exaggerate what would otherwise not  \nbe obviously known in a play setting. Many visual aspects were converted to dialogue or monologue in order to make sure the theater could hear, if not see, what was taking place. This results in poorly aged lines such as “O, I am slain!” when Polonius is stabbed to his death in The Tragedy of Hamlet (Act 3, Scene 4) . Actions and setting, in Shakespeare’s time, had to be verbalized, resulting in awkward and wordy dialogues. In addition, the style of language employed in Shakespeare’splays is now obsolete and outdated. Why force students to read early modern English when even modern slang would be more appropriate for future use?  \nMost importantly, many of the common themes in Shakespeare novels are antiquated and poorly varied. The most recurring themes  \nare misogynistic and classist, perpetuating harmful ideologies without correcting them. In The Tragedy of Hamlet, the only two female characters, Ophelia and Queen Gertrude, exist to be harmed by men’s actions, much like the female characters present across Shak","cbCaiqroBnYLYG6F","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqroBnYLYG6F","pdf",7017281,12,"English","# The Unsung Heroes of American High\n## Custodial work beyond cleaning\n# Why I Hate Shakespeare\n## Relevance, performance, and themes\n# It’s a Rich Man’s World in Speech and Debate\n## The role of money and tournament expenses","[{\"question\":\"What do custodians do beyond cleaning at American High?\",\"answer\":\"They handle setup for events and other morning responsibilities, not just classroom-area tidying.
