Symphony Season Opens

By Robert E. Donnelly III 15
Editor in Chief
We h e r e a t P r i o r y
demonstrate a high level of
class, and thus participate in
classy things. For those of
you gentlemen out there with
a more refined taste in music,
there may be no classier
group in St. Louis than the St.
Louis Symphony Orchestra.
Led by Music Director David
Robertson, The St. Louis
Symphony Orchestra is one of
the finest in the country, and its
performances are the perfect
opportunity for us classy
gentlemen to enjoy an evening
of great music. This season, the
symphony boasts an impressive
schedule thats sure to impress,
and Im here to make sure you

dont miss out on any of the

seasons greatest moments.
Coming up on October
10th-12th the SLSO will
perform one of Tchaikovskys
greatest works, the 1812

Overture. This piece is always

impressive, and is an early
highlight in this impressive
135th season.
My next event thats not to
miss is a one night only
performance of Mussorgskys
Night on Bald Mountain. Also
on this night, November 21, are
four dance episodes from Aaron

Coplands Rodeo. Expect a

dramatic night with a fun finish
f r o m C o p l a n d s c l a s s i c
Americana.
My last selection is an
absolute standard in classical
music: Vivaldis The
Four Seasons. Running
from December 5-7, this
show is a must. If you
even remotely know
classical music, youve
heard this quintessential
piece, and it always impresses.
This season also features a
very special guest appearance
from world renowned pianist,
Lang Lang. This event, titled
t h e R e d Ve l v e t B a l l , i s
definitely on the pricey side,
since the gala includes dinner,
drinks, dessert, and dancing.
Lang Lang is one of the greatest

pianists of all time, and never

puts on a show that is anything
less than stunning. Did anyone
see him perform with Metallica
at the Grammys? This dude is
insanely good, and not to be
missed.
The St. Louis Symphony
Orchestra is always a
guaranteed night of great music
and relaxation. Whether youre
earning brownie points with the
rents, having a gentlemens
night on the town, or even
spending some time with that
special someone, never
overlook the classical music
gem of St. Louis. For updates
from the Symphony, follow
them on twitter, @SLSO. They
even follow us, The Record, on
twitter.

Swansea only two points ahead

in the table it will be fiercely
fought and Southampton, riding
on their high horse after
thumping West Ham 3-1 will be
too relaxed and will give in
easily. The sight of Wilfried
Bony will overpower the
defense and he will proceed to
get his first hat trick of the
season Southampton will not
leave the game without a goal
from Graziano Pelle. This will
not be enough and in the end
Swansea will pull away nicely
stuffed with a win.

Look for Cesc Fabregas, former

Arsenal and Barcelona man, to
make key passes and be the
source of all attacks for
Chelsea. Stephan Joveti, the
forgotten man at the Etihad last
season, made a scintillating
start to the season, scoring a
brace against Liverpool.
However, it remains to be seen
whether he can break into the
starting lineup ahead of Deko
and the world class striker that
is Sergio Agero.

Liverpool is coming off a
last minute win in a midweek
Champions League draw which
saw new signing Mario
Balotelli net his first goal for
the club. West Ham drew their
last game 2-2 and had a
fantastic goal from new signing
and world cup star Enner
Valencia. Liverpool has had
trouble breaking down teams in
recent weeks evidenced by 1-0
loss to Aston Villa in their last
Premier League game. I see
one of West Hams creative
attacking players breaking
through early and the defense
standing tough but eventually
c o n c e d i n g a n e q u a l i z e r.
Liverpool 1-1 West Ham
Chelsea 3-2 Man City
Everton 1-1 Palace
Swansea 2-3 Southampton
After Crystal Palace lost
Tony Pulis, the reigning

manager of the year, they have

had a poor start to the year with
two loses and two draws
against lackluster competition.
Everton, on the other hand,
have had a solid start to the
season with a draw against
Arsenal and 2-0 win against
relegation wary West Brom.
This will be a good game for
Crystal Palace to bring back the
form they had last year and
prove that they are a mid-table
side. However, I think that
Everton with their new and
improved offense will be able
to beat Crystal Palaces in form
defense. Final Score: Everton
2-1 Crystal Palace
Chelsea 2-2 Man City
Liverpool 2-1 West Ham
Swansea 3-2 Southampton
Swansea started out the
season with three wins before
losing to Chelsea 4-2. With that
loss they will be hungry for a
win. The only thing to feed that
hunger is a nice tasty win
against Southampton. With

Swansea 3-1 Southampton

Chelsea 2-1 Man City
Liverpool 2-1 West Ham
Everton 1-1 Palace
Chelsea vs Manchester
City kicks off this weekend in
what should be an enthralling
encounter between two of the
league's best sides. Chelsea's
Spanish striker Diego Costa
simply can't stop scoring at the
moment, having scored 7 goals
in 4 games so far this season.

The inner machinations of mind are an enigma.

Yaya Toure, easily City's

player of the season last year,
will hope to get back to form in
the game against Chelsea this
weekend. In a game with strong
offenses and leaky defenses
thus far, expect Chelsea to edge
City with goals from Costa,
Schrrle, and Hazard. Final
score: 3-2 (Costa, Schrrle,
Hazard; Aguero, Deko)
Swansea 2-2 Southampton
Everton 2-0 Crystal Palace
Liverpool 1-2 West Ham

How to be a Big-Daddy-Lady-Killer
By Eddie Griesedieck 15
Staff Writer

act and girls will naturally

flock.

Play hard to get, and I mean

HARD

Around the school there is

murmur: how can I get fine
ladies to like me? For some of
you rookies that arent
naturally gifted when it comes
to wooing ladies, I am here to
give you some tips on how to
do it. There are three key
elements in getting any ladys
attention, sparking a
conversation, and maybe even
a connection.

Hygiene

Your personality can be fully

torqued, but you still need to
play the game. Vaporize the
ladies with your personality but
dont be overeager. Us Priory
gentlemen are jewels amongst
the dung of MICDS and
Burroughs students, but, we
cant forget that we have to
play hard to get. After all, our
time is valuable, and we need
to make sure the ladies
understand that. Be personable
and nice; compliment the lady
and open doors for her, but DO
NOT go overboard!

Confidence
Nothing in the world is more
attractive to a lady than
confidence. Confidence in a
man is the male equivalent of
leggings on a woman, it sparks
immediate attraction. Girls can
sense confidence from a mile
away - the way you walk, and
the way you carry yourself
make a big difference.
Confidence starts with comfort,
so be comfortable in what
youre wearing and how you

Throw away those old shirts

and shorts with holes in them,
and dress to impress. In order
to know whats on the inside of
a person, you must first look
presentable on the outside.
Who would you rather have a
conversation with - a girl with
baggy pajamas, slippers, and
her hair in curlers; or a girl in
high heels, a red dress, and her
hair straightened? The answer
is simple (for most, I hope).
You would probably choose the
ten in the red dress any day of
the week. Its the same case
with guys. It doesnt matter if
you have the personality of a
brick or a hummingbird,
because a complete stranger
judges based on appearance.
Thats why, if youre going out,
make sure you dress to
impress. Ask your mom if you
arent sure, she will probably
help out (no shame).

If you listen to my tips, your

only problem will be
narrowing down the number of
potential women you can take
to Homecoming. Get out there,
socialize, and vaporize the
ladies with your charm and
good looks. One day you may
become an official lady-killer
just like me.

Grinds My Gears
By Patrick Lane 15
Content Editor
You know what really grinds
my gears? 9/11 conspiracy
theorists. Like, really? Are you
kidding? Thats the dumbest thing
Ive ever heard!
Last fourth of July, me and
the squad were hanging out at
forest park, tossing the disc
and what not, when these two
bearded dudes caught my eye.
They were holding a big sign
that said 9/11 was an inside
job. Are you freaking serious?
It is the Fourth of July and

these two donkeys are sucking

the patriotism right out of the
air. To put it lightly, their vibes
and my vibes were clashing.

These losers were saying

something about how in
order for the towers to
fall at free fall speed
(which they claim they
did), there would have
had to have been bombs
planted at the base of
each tower. I, having the
intellectual prowess that
I have, decided to humor
them. I responded by
saying that, assuming
they were correct, it was
completely possible that
terrorist cells in the USA could
have planted the bombs.

The response to this was,

Cave men are not capable of
such an elaborate plan. This
was right about the time that
the new caliphate in the
Middle East had been
established, so naturally I
brought that up, to which the
nut-jobs responded, whats a

involving magic. Harry is

forced to scour the underworld,
both mundane and magical, in
an attempt to learn more
about the killer. In
addition, a woman
hires him to find her
husband who has
gone missing. The
story is told strictly
from
Harrys
perspective, and features
cultural references to classic
movies such as Star Wars.
Butcher also avoids a more
common fantasy theme, that is,
the ignorant main character.
Instead, Harry, while not
omniscient, knows quite a bit
about the magical world
around him. Storm Front also

deals with older characters,

none of whom have the
eagerness of fantasy teens.
Harry comes with a dark
background, and you quickly
get the sense that relations
between him and other wizards
could loosely be described as
rocky. Harry tries to do the
best he can, but is far from a
moral absolutist. The magic is
not sharply defined, but
Butcher minds his characters
limits and makes sure that they
exhibit an appropriate amount
of power. This book is around

Book Review: Storm Front

By Andrew Swyers15
Staff Writer
Openly practicing wizard
takes on murder mystery.
This was the under-ten-word
summary that a classmate of
mine gave about the first
Dresden Files book: Storm
Front. Storm Front is written
by Jim Butcher, and features
Harry Dresden, the main
character who is in the yellow
pages under wizard. It is set in
modern day Chicago, where
Harry helps the Police
Department solve special
cases, also operating as a
private investigator. He joins a
excellent cast of characters,
including an initially

stereotypical police lieutenant,

a talking skull, and a ruthless
mob boss that occasionally acts
for selfless reasons. The
books present a kind of
dual world in which
some people are
aware of what magic
is and some go
throughout their lives
without an idea. The
world includes vampire,
fairies, demons, sorcerers
and much more, as the mythos
is expanded in subsequent
books.
As aforementioned, the plot of
Storm Front involves Harry
attempting to discover who is
responsible for a string of
particularly grisly murders

Priory Soccer Upsets DeSmet

By George Ahlering 16
Staff Writer
On Monday night, as the
rain came down and the
temperature dropped, the
Rebels were preparing to face
an annual powerhouse team,
DeSmet. The kickoff was at
6pm and the Rebels came out
strong, obviously controlling
the game for the first 25
minutes. Ryan Mulqueeny,
recently back from injury
immediately showed he was
healthy by netting a beautiful
goal after dribbling around four
players. This first goal put the
Rebels up 1-0 and shocked
DeSmet, who seemed to have
brushed off Priory as a weak
team. Later in the game
DeSmet showed their resilience
by skidding an unlucky cross,
over the wet turf and into the
net. The game was 1-1 and

becoming very physical and

neither team with the clear
physical advantage, the fight
was just beginning.
The Rebels held off
the Spartans by
winning ball
control, headers,
and closing
down quickly
on defense.
Priory caught
a break when
there was a
penalty called
just outside the
18 yard box, Ryan
Mulqueeny placed a
beautiful shot into the
bottom left corner. This put the
Rebels back in the lead for 23
more minutes, with only 25 left
in the game. Priory playing
great, compact defense,
DeSmet had no choice but to

use the kick and run

technique. In the final 2
minutes of the game, with
victory in sight, another
unlucky cross skidded in for a
goal for DeSmet, tying
the game. The
Rebels were
down but not
out as they
played their
hearts out the
last minute
trying to
avoid extra
time. At the
end of 80
minutes, the score
remained 2-2 and the
game was headed for
overtime.
After only two minutes of
extra time, there was a dirty hit
on John Klaesner by the
DeSmet defense. John took and

elbow to the side of the face

and was forced, reluctantly, off
the field and into the care of
the physical therapist for fear
of concussion. But a few
minutes later Priory caught
DeSmet off guard with a
counter attack stringing from a
midfielder to Dan Kelly, who
did a beautiful turn and slotted
a pass right to Ryan
Mulqueeny who did his magic
once more, dribbling around a
defender, then around the
goalie and netting the winner
with a left foot shot to the open
goal. Final: Priory 3- DeSmet 2
The Rebels came out to
play Monday and showed
everyone that they arent a
team to be overlooked. Come
out and watch us take on

NFL Update
By Patrick Milburn 15

last year (from 32nd to 4th in

total defense), he'll definitely
make some sort of adjustment.

A Look at a few 0-2 Teams

New Orleans Saints - A no
doubt playoff team before the
season, the Saints already have
two road losses under their belt
(Keyword: Road). Last year
they were a perfect 8-0 at
home, so Saints fans shouldn't
be stressing too much; they can
easily turn it around at the
Superdome. Despite the fact
that they've lost by a combined
five points, there were some
disturbing moments I thought
wouldn't be a problem. Blown
coverages and bad angles
defensively were exposed, so
I'll be looking to Rob Ryan to
see how he handles it. With the
amount of progress he made

Indianapolis Colts - Looking

like another optimistic 0-2
team, they have a soft schedule
up ahead and Andrew Luck is
getting better every week. After
grabbing a 14 point lead
against the Eagles, they
could've had the W if they
didn't switch to a conservative
defense, which let up on the
blitz. Chip Kelly's offense
thrives off that. Still a playoff
team in my mind.
The Pros and Cons of Colin
Kaepernick
Pros - Creates big plays from
nothing and can move the
chains with his legs. On the

final drive of the game, the

Bears were lined up with a
double A gap and blitzed the
slot corner, who made Frank
Gore look like he was on roller
skates. Kaepernick jukes the
corner and escapes outside for
a 15 yard run + first down.
These are the plays people love
to see and are why the 49ers
encourage him to use his legs.
Cons - Misses ordinary passes
from the pocket. Also on the
final drive of the game,
Crabtree was on 15 yard dig
route and Kaepernick got
sacked by Willie Young. Rewatching the play, it was easy
to tell that Crabtree was open,
and if Kaepernick just used
some anticipation, it would
have been a first down, not a
loss of yards. Two plays later,

scrambled
from the pocket
and tried to hit TE Derek
Carrier downfield, but was
screened and tossed an
interception.
A QB like Peyton Manning
wouldn't have converted that
15 yard rush, but we all know
he would've hit Crabtree in
stride. On the other hand,
Kaepernick keeps teams honest
with his double threat. It just
comes down to what type of
QB you like.

Roses are blue, violets are red, I have to go to the bathroom.

Pro-Life Club Trip

By George Ahlering 16
Staff Writer
On Wednesday September
10th, Fr. Ralph, Fr. Cassian,
and nine Priory students
traveled to the Missouri State
Capitol in anticipation of votes
being cast regarding three
pieces of legislation protecting
the unborn. The vetoed bills
were HB 1307, which extends
the mandatory waiting period
prior to receiving an
abortion from 24 to
72 hours, and HB
1132, which
extends tax
credits
to
p r e g n a n c y
resource centers,
maternity homes,
and food pantries.
The Priory group
arrived
in
Jefferson City,
and immediately
assembled with
the other 300-400
pro-life supporters
in the capitol building
rotunda for a rally. Nearly all of
the major Missouri pro life
groups were represented at the
r a l l y, i n c l u d i n g t h e L i f e
Runners, Show Me Life:
Missouri, St. Louis
Archdiocese, Missouri Right To
Life, Coalition For Life: St.
Louis, Respect Life Apostolate,
and St. Louis Defenders. The
opposition to the bills was
Planned Parenthood and their
supporters, who only amounted
to 100-150 people. Planned
Parenthood was so concerned
about these bills that they flew
in their president and other
ranking executives to try and
lobby with the lawmakers,
because they know the bills
(Especially HB 1307) will hurt
their profits because of how
many less mothers will chose
abortion after 72 hours of

deliberation and reflection.

During the rally, multiple
speakers spoke on their
encounters with abortions. One
was a mother whose daughter
was raped and impregnated at
age 14. She had decided it
would be best to abort the baby,
but was converted after talking
with a pro life organization.
Her grandchild, now 3, was on
the stage that day, happy as can
be. Another was a woman

conceived in rape, whose

mother was on the verge of
aborting due to pressure from
her family and friends. Luckily,
she knew the right thing to do
and ignored all of the pressure
and decided to have the baby.
She began to cry when she
mentioned her mother, and
said she couldnt help but thank
and be inspired by her mothers
courage and resilience against
pressure. The last was a former
manager at a Planned
Parenthood in Texas. She
talked about the abortion
industry, how it is all about
convincing a mother to abort
merely for profits. She said the
Planned Parenthood she ran for
5 years had abortion quotas that
they had to meet in order to
remain open and turn and
acceptable profit. She quit after
7 years, once she finally

couldnt stand it anymore. After

the rally, the Priory students
delivered letters to their
respective senators and
representatives, urging them to
vote yes on both of the bills.
After speaking with a couple of
senators and representatives,
the group headed over to a brief
final prayer service in the
church. The the House of
Representatives voted 117-44
in support of HB 1307,
overriding
the
Governors veto. The
Senate finalized
the override late
Wednesday night
after a failed
filibuster attempt
by voting 23-7
s h o r t l y a f t e r.
Wednesday
evening, the
House
of
Representatives
also voted to
override HB 1132
with a count of
123-37 and it easily
passed the Senate with
a vote of 27-2. These new laws
will go into affect in one
month, and should help to
continue the annual reduction
of abortions in Missouri.
All in all, the Priory ProLife Club, specifically Father
Ralph, Father Cassian, Chris
White, Liam Sehnert, George
Ahlering, Connor Wright,
Thomas DiMarco, Winston
Senor, Patrick Charles, Tommy
Holmes, and George Hamilton,
was very successful in rallying
against abortion. If you or
anyone you know may be
interested in joining the Pro
Life Club or attending the

Ralph, Chris White, Liam
Sehnert, or George Ahlering.

Once there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died. The End.
