LOUFEST 2015

LouFest Review: The Good, The Better, and The Best


By George Ahlering 16
Editor
LouFest is an annual 2
day music festival held on
Central Field in Forest
Park. Founded in 2010,
LouFest has become a
sort of tradition in St.
Louis, steadily growing in
attendance every year.
2015 meant new heights
for the Festival, including
a wider variety of acts,
from hip-hop to folk
music. LouFest featured
both local acts (Pokey
LaFarge and Clockwork)
as well as national acts
(Hozier, Ludacris, and
Billy Idol).
Even if music isnt quite
your thing, there is
something for you at
LouFest. The Nosh Pit
featured some top-of-the-

line St. Louis food such


as Sugar Fire BBQ,
Deweys Pizza, Mission
Taco Joint and Strange
Donuts.

Theres even a LouKids


section just for the young
ones!
2-Day passes are only
$55 in May, quite a deal
for 34 concerts in two
days. Plus, the tickets are
General Admission, so
you can be where youre

comfortable, whether that


is the front row, or on a
picnic blanket across the
field.

2015s lineup was


criticized when releasedmany didnt think it was
as strong last years, which
featured the likes of
Portugal The Man, The
1975, and The Arctic
M o n k e y s . H o w e v e r,
every single act came out

strong and pleasantly


surprised concert-goers.
Nico & Vinz, a duo
from Norway, were the
most surprising act. Their
biggest hit, Am I
Wrong catapulted them
to the spotlight in 2014.
They came out energetic,
on-point, and engaging,
not missing a beat.
The other major
winner of LouFest was
Nate Ruess, lead singer of
FUN. He played on
Saturday afternoon and
did not disappoint.
Ruess vocals are iconic
and his own, unique style.
All in all, LouFest 2015
was a huge success. With
more than 50,000 in
attendance, and a broad
spectrum
of
entertainment, everyone
left smiling.

LOUFEST 2015

The Future of LouFest


By George Ahlering 16
Editor
LouFest has a bright future
ahead. Still considered a
"newer" music festival, the
only place it can go is up. The
St. Louis community has
reacted positively to the
festival, which brings in
millions in revenue to the
local economy in just two
days. LouFest brings a great
array of entertainment to St.
Louis and hopefully will
begin to draw crowds from
the entire Midwest Region
and around the Nation.
The founder of Loufest,
Brian Cohen, says that in the
coming years, LouFest is
capable of expanding. He says
that in addition to adding
stages, they have plenty of

room to add more restaurant


options in the Nosh Pit, more
pop-up shops in Market
Square, and a ultimately get a
stronger lineup.

On top of that, Forest Park


is the PERFECT location for
s u c h a n e v e n t . L a rg e l y
considered a gem of St. Louis,
Forest Park sits on the 1,300
acres of pristine land that is
needed for such a huge event.

The production side of


LouFest is well-equipped to
handle the expansion as well.
Fresh and Clean Media and
C3 Presents, the companies
that handle Austin City Limits
and Lollapalooza, are wellconnected and wellestablished within the Music
Festival world.

It is centrally located, in a
moderately safe part of town.
In proximity to Soulard,
Clayton, Downtown, the
Loop, Midtown and the
Central West End (all major
shopping and entertainment
areas), LouFest is easily
accessible from Highway 40

and effectively links all of St.


Louis.
On a larger scale, St. Louis
is an ideal city for such a
festival. Essentially the
middle of the country, with
Lambert Airport as an
international hub, it is easily
accessible from coast to coast.
All in all, LouFest is the
perfect annual event for St.
Louis. In such a time of
despair and division for our
city, LouFest is the event we
need to take a step back and
unify through our common
love for music. Music has
been linking peoples and
societies for thousands of
years, now it is St. Louis' time
to create unity through music,
fun, and community.

How old were you when you first met your father?
I was sixteen.
What changed in your life when you met him?
I was sixteen. Up until then, being the man of the house was all I knew. I was in charge of my half-sisters, and I was
the one who always had an answer for everything, even if I had to make it up. The first time I met my dad was the
first time I saw true intelligence and true brilliance. It was the first time that I met someone who actually knew the
answer to everything, and didnt just have to make it up. It was the first time I realized that even wise, gentle people do
things that cause heartbreak. I don't have a memory of my mother smiling, because he abandoned her when she was
seven months pregnant. But everyone makes mistakes, and I am learning to forgive him.

Syrian Refugees
Activists call for the
relocation of 60,000 Syrian
refugees to St. Louis. City
officials say 10,000 is a more
realistic number. The EU is
currently struggling with
its
refugee population, estimated to
be over 100,000. Many European
nations have expressed concerns
regarding their abilities to sustain
the people- it is being referred to
by many media outlets as the

Teenager Targeted
A Muslim teen who
was arrested without just cause
for bringing a clock to school
that school officials had believed
to be a bomb. Ahmed
Mohammed, of Irvine Texas,
was apprehended and placed in

be a homemade clock. Police say
no charges will be filed. Those in
the tech industry rallied behind
the 14 year old, with Facebook
CEO Mark Zuckerberg
declaring: "Having the skill and
ambition to build something
cool should lead to applause,
not arrest. The future belongs to
people like Ahmed."

GOP Debate
Wednesday's GOP saw
Carly Fiorina rise to the
occasion- her direct criticism of
frontrunner Donald Trump
seemingly rallied the partiess
base against the real-estate
mogul and reality TV star. 60%
of GOP insiders polled declared
her the winner of the debate.
Her strong response to Trumps
misogynistic remarks (I think
women across the county heard
loud and clear what Mr. Trump
said.) helped the image of a
party frequently accused of
waging a War on Women.

Apple Releases New Products


Harry Lindmark 16
Staff Writer
Last Wednesday, Apple
unveiled a number of new
products that will be released
in the coming months. The
first of these products were
two new iPhones: the iPhone
6S and iPhone 6S Plus.
These phones will be
available in: gold, silver, rose
gold, and space gray. The
new phones are made with
aircraft-grade aluminum and
are less likely to bend.
A d d i t i o n a l l y, A p p l e
announced that the new
iPhones will have 3D touch
screens that can recognize

how hard you are pressing,


and can tell if you are holding
the screen down.

Next, Apple unveiled its
new iPad Pro, which is a
whopping 12.9 inches tall.
The new iPad has a 10-hour

battery life and it is super


thin. It weighs in at just over
1.5 pounds. Apple also came
out with a few new designs
for the Apple watch including
a wrap-around brown leather
Herms band.
Perhaps the most surprising
new product unveiled by
Apple is the Apple Pencil.
This pencil is really just a
fancy Apple stylus that is
exclusively for the new iPad
Pro. The Apple Pencil has
tips as thin as ballpoint pens
and it is designed largely with
artists in mind. The new
stylus can sense pressure and
it is able to draw thicker or
thinner lines based on the
E

amount of pressure applied.


The pencil is a source of
controversy among Apple
fans because in 2010 Steve
Jobs said, If you see a stylus,
they blew it. The new stylus
shows that CEO Tim Cook is
confident in the path that
Apple is taking, and is
confident enough to disregard
what Steve Jobs once said.

Football Update
By Patrick Gallagher 16
and Chris White 16
Football Staff Writers
You win some, you lose
some. No one ever wants to
lose, especially to a league
rival. Unfortunately, thats
what happened to the football
team two weeks ago against
Burroughs.
The Rebels entered the
game without junior Christian
Witte, due to a broken thumb.
The Rebels fought hard the
whole game, as they played
with a tenacious attitude.
Nick Monette had a nice
catch on a 65 yard play that
set up Connor Donnelly for a
touchdown. Connor Donnelly
had 95 hard-earned yards in
the game. The offense had
flashes of life throughout
most of the game, but senior
quarterback Andrew Rund
was hobbled by an ankle
injury, which eventually
forced him out of the game.

Sophomore Jack Wagner


received a lot of varsity
action. He caught three passes
for 42 yards. Winston Senor
impressed late in the game.
He had 6 carries for 35 yards
offensively and also had a
few big hits on the defensive
side of the ball.

Priory played their fourth


game of the year against
Lutheran North last Saturday.
The team knew it would be a
tough game, especially
considering the loss of their

captain, Andrew Rund, to an


ankle injury. The Rebels
came out strong in the first
quarter, holding the Crusaders
to only one score and moving
the ball well offensively.
The game went downhill
after that. The Rebels let up
50 points and were unable to
score. Lutheran North was
able to run the ball well due
to their whopping average
lineman weight of 275
pounds (compared to Priorys
210 pounds). Aqeel Glass, the
Crusaders quarterback,
resembled Napoleon
Dynamites Uncle Rico as he
threw for four touchdowns
and 300 yards. The Priory
defense was led by senior
captain, Colin Croghan, who
had a career-high 20 tackles
and an unheard of 2 forced
fumbles.
The Rebels
showed determination,
courage, and a never-give-up
attitude as they shut-out

Lutheran North in the fourth


quarter.
The Rebels will take
on the their longtime rival,
Mary Institute and Country
Day School, on Saturday at
1:00 pm. Since the last theme
was so graciously adhered to
(thanks guys!) there will be
another theme, preppy. So
please dress like any MICDS
young man you may know or
that you may have
encountered. Our theory is
that if you blend in with their
fans and cheer for us, the
MICDS team will think their
fans have abandoned them
and further give up hope of
winning. The Rebels need
fans to come out and build
the Rebel Spirit Meter so
they can regain a record
above five hundred percent.
Also please bring any and all
instruments you have to the
game.

In the annual St.
Dominic Tournament, the
Rebels faced a
historically strong St.
Dominic team (T 2-2), as
well as Holt (L 1-2), and
Fort Zumwalt East(W

a 1-1-1 record for the
tournament (Notable
goals: D. Ahlering-1; M.

when the Rebels needed
it with a left-footed,

It was
truly a goal for the ages.

match. Goalkeeper Drew
Sewall held the
opposition to two goals
before making the gamewinning stop in penalty
kicks.
Junior Mark
Ciapciak managed yet
another goal as the
Rebels cruised to a 5-2-1
record.
Shortly after, St.
Marys meandered their
way down to the varsity
soccer field only to find

themselves trying to fight


back from a 2-0 deficit
(goals: Ciapciak-1; St.
Marys
OG-1).
Fortunately, the Rebels
were able to hold them
off and retain the lead.

Rebels have faced thus

earn an easy victory, but

off a cheeky header from
Sophomore Charlie
Berns, Priory was
comfortably handling the
nationally ranked

opponent.
The game
would ultimately go into
overtime and penalty
kicks and the Rebels
would fall to a 3-2 loss.
Though the Rebels may
have outplayed DeSmet,
they were not able to pull

Running inspired, the


Rebels gave both great
team and individual
efforts.
Priorys Varsity team
seized 4th place -finishing ahead of quality
squads such as
Westminster, Freeburg,
and Whitfield -- and
captains Jake Drysdale
and Thomas Lowell
medalled as Top 30
finishers. Jake Drysdale
ran 17:07 to take 11th

place and Thomas


Lowell finished 29th in a

and getting sacked twice. The


Atlanta Falcons outperformed
the Philadelphia Eagles, 26-24.
The Falcons opened up a large
lead and were up 20-3 at
halftime. Julio Jones caught 9
passes for 141 reception yards
and two touchdowns. The Dallas
Cowboys completed a late game
comeback to boost themselves
over the New York Giants. The
Giants led for almost the entire
game but fell short in the last
seven seconds, 27-26. The San
Francisco Giants finished up the
week by dominating the
Minnesota Vikings 20-3. Carlos

Hyde led the charge rushing for


168 yards and two touchdowns
on 26 carries. Other teams that
improved to 1-0 include: Green
Bay, Kansas City, Carolina, New
York Jets, Miami, Arizona, San
Diego, Denver, Cincinnati, and
Tennessee. James Jones was one
of the most added players in
fantasy football this week. After
17.5 fantasy points off 69
reception yards and two
touchdowns be sure to check if
he is still available in your
fantasy league as he could really

Although he didn't find
himself a goal, he got 2 assists
and was essential in dragging
Leicester back from the brink.
After Nathan Dyer was
subbed on for Shinji Okazaki
at halftime, Mahrez was
moved into a more central
position so Dyer could play
the right wing, which is where
he really started pulling the
strings of the offense.
Jeff Schlupp - Plain and
simple, whenever Schlupp

had the ball in the second half


the defense was in danger.
When he got it near the
middle of the field with acres
of space in front, he
resembled Raheem Sterling
how he sprinted directly at the
defense at high speed. These
attacks in the middle along
with his overlapping runs
down the flank made him a
key part in the Leicester
comeback.
Nathan Dyer - An exTottenham player, Dyer is
known to have one primary
attribute: pace. This happens
to be his only attribute, since
his dribbling and crossing
often disappoints. However,
N

when subbed on at halftime,


he beat his defender countless
times and created a plethora
of quality chances at goal. To
top it all off, he scored the
winning goal off a header in
the 89th minute. That's right,
5 foot 5 Nathan Dyer scored a
header.

Fashion (Fall Look-book)


Jake Tottleben 16
Staff Writer
It's 2015, can we all please
take a vow to never wear boot
cut pants again? Unless
you're rolling up to school in
actual cowboy boots I would
strongly advise against a such
a cut. Slim, Skinny or slim
straight. Those are the only
pant fits you should be
looking for. As fall rolls
around this is especially
important. The weather gets
cooler and so should your
wardrobe. You can go one of
two ways in the fall- my
parents don't understand me
or Connecticut Prep. The
quintessential parents don't
understand me look has a
simple formula, is cheap, and
generally looks good if you
are anedgy teen. With this
look its important to
remember that even though
Kurt Cobain is dead, that

poster of him on your wall


isn't. This look requires three
general aspects- shirts, pants,
and shoes. Flannel shirts are
the key to your wardrobe. I
like to buy my flannel a size
or two up- this gives the look
the extra spice of grunge you
need in order to say that you
were truly born in the wrong
generation.

work, but I recommend


Levis- 511s or 510s. Next are
your shoes. For high tops
boots and sneakers work very
well. As far as boots go I
recommend dark brown derby
boots (Aldo carries a pair that
run around 80 dollars). For
sneakers your best bet is
converse which can be found
in pretty much any shoe store.
Low tops work best if they
are black or white so that they
can go with anything. An
excellent low top is Adidas'
Traid shoes in white. The
most important thing to
remember about this look is
to not wear a beanie; it can
kill your whole outfit. If this
isn't the look for you don't
fret- there is an option for
those of you who live a life of
more sophistication and
prefer a cleaner cut look. I
call this one Connecticut
Prep. The most important part
of this look is the blazer (I

The next key aspect of this


look is leg wear. Jeans are
your best friend, and are
versatile and come in almost
every style and color. I
recommend a slimmer fit jean
to complement a larger
flannel. Any brand of jeans

recommend navy or brown


for color). Your going to want
a form fitting blazer so if you
have the time I recommend
seeing a tailor for this. After
your blazer you're going to
need a shirt to go under it. A
clean button up will do the
trick. Its important to avoid
intricate colors and designs
and to stick with something
simple. You can take it up a
notch by putting a thin
sweater over your button up
and under your blazer. I
recommend something that
matches your blazer. Banana
Republic chinos come in
every fit and look great. Buy
these in darker colors to
offset your brown blazer.
Lastly, go for boots as your
footwear- the aforementioned
Aldos will do the trick. With
these simple tips you will
take you fall wardrobe to the
next level. Goodbye and good
luck.

Pro Life Trip to Jefferson City


Jake Schlattman 18
Staff Writer
On Tuesday, Sept. 15, Fr.
Ralph and 17 Priory students
embarked on a journey to
Jefferson City. We set out at
about 12:30pm and arrived
around 2:30pm. We were all well
prepared for a rowdy rally
thanks to the glorious limo party
bus provided by Fr. Ralph. But
in all seriousness, we were there
for a very important reason: to
acknowledge and rally against
the reopening of an abortion
clinic in Columbia, Mo. near the
campus of Mizzou, which

already averages twenty


abortions a day.
Our first assignment was to
walk around the rally and get
signatures from the general
crowd, and possibly the state
legislators present. We had them
sign a petition and a few other
documents concerning the issue.
After collecting signatures, the
rally truly began. We listened to
many heart felt speeches from
State Senators and
Representatives who had
previously attended the Senate
hearing on The Sanctity of Life
hours earlier. Sen. Bob Onder;
father of Priory grad Robert
Onder, was one of those

Senators who spoke at the rally.


We heard from two students at
Mizzou who were truly appalled
and disappointed in the
universitys association with this
clinic.

We also
heard
a Review
beautiful
speech from our very own, Fr.
Ralph. In between every two or
three speeches, we would chant
from the second level of the
rotunda. Some of our chants
G

were: MIZ-ZOU, WE LOVE


BABIES HOW ABOUT YOU!
and, HEY HEY HO HO,
PLANNED PARENTHOOD
HAS TO GO.
The rally ended shortly after
5:00pm and we headed home.
Overall, the trip was an uplifting
and empowering experience
filled with love and concern for
the unborn.
We hope that many of you join
us in forming a strong
brotherhood that respects and
protects life, so join the Respect
Life Club Today!

Football: The Holiest Sport


Tejas Sekhar 17
Staff Writer
Ahh, football, Americas
favorite past time. The NFL
season started up again this past
Sunday, Sept. 13. What better a
time to get baptized? Now, you
must be thinking Im crazy. How
does the Sacrament of Baptism
have any relation to football? If
anything, they seem like polar
opposites. Right? In one, you
unite yourself with God in a way
that traces its roots back to when
Jesus Christ himself instituted

Baptism. In the other, well you


risk your life for a sack of
leather. But apparently the
people at Villa Rica High School
in Georgia thought they would
go together well.
Pastor Kevin Williams of the
First Baptist Church of Villa
Rica baptized eighteen high
school football players and one
coach in the schools football
stadium.

The Freedom From Religion


group immediately sounded the
alarms about the mass Baptism,
filing a complaint with the
Carroll County School District.
An investigation was launched
into the matter to see if any laws
were actually broken. The
Freedom From Religion group
has even gone as far as calling
the mass Baptism a violation of
the First Amendment.

Personally, I see nothing wrong


with a group of football players
and their coach getting baptized.
In fact, I find it great that they
are all coming together as a
group and seeking God. But fact
of the matter is, in public
institutions, religion and the state
must remain separate. There are
too many religious groups and
cultures in America to allow for
the mixing of state and religion.
Although the intention of the
coach and players at Villa Rica
High School was not malicious,
it was poorly executed.

Top 3 Movies From This Summer


By Patrick Shanahan 17
Staff Writer
Welcome back, everyone.
Another summer is now in the
rear-view window. And with
that, another summer movie
season has come to pass. This
past summer was particularly
interesting for film. It seemed
that every week, another massive
studio was launching its attempt
at an over-budgeted franchise
blockbuster laden with computer
generated imagery and generally
little-to-no real substance. Most
of the end results were beautiful
disasters exemplifying whats
wrong with Hollywoods love of
blockbusters (look no further
than the likes of Fantastic Four
and Terminator Genisys for a
small sample size). But other,
smaller films slipped between
these massive releases and
provided hope for the future of
summer movies.
So lets focus on these, the few,
p r o u d t i t l e s t h a t o ff e r e d
something to chew on long after
initial viewing. Enjoy!
3. Dope
Never heard of this movie?
Not surprised. Im really that
hipster (adjusts glasses).

In all seriousness, this is a


movie literally no one Ive talked
to has seen, due to its limited
release in theaters following
popularity at Sundance and
general lack of marketing. The
latter is especially surprising,
considering some A-List talents
were attached (Zoe Kravitz, A$AP Rocky, Forest Whitaker, and
Blake Anderson), and Director
Rick Famuyiwa is in talks to
direct Marvel Studios upcoming
Black Panther film adaptation.
The movie itself is by far the
most original film Ive seen all
year. It is in fact so original that
it is hard to compare it to any
other film I have seen. I guess
the best description I can come
up with is Ferris Bueller and the
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air had a
bizarre lovechild, and raised said
lovechild on the rough streets of
Inglewood, where he was taught
how to sell drugs, perform manic
punk music, and play too much
Super Nintendo. Sound super
weird? It totally is and its
amazing.
It is both funny and dramatic,
crazy and grounded, and overall
the Best John Hughes movie not
made by John Hughes. For those
uninitiated in this films vocal

cult following, please go support


this movie. It absolutely deserves
your money, and is in fact, dope,
as the title would suggest.
2. Mad Max: Fury Road
I thought pure action movies
were dead. I thought that the
future of action filmmaking was
to be dominated by those vapid
Transformers films; overlong,
uninteresting flicks about old
guys shooting dudes; and
superhero movies. Mad Max:
Fury Road proved me
completely wrong.
Knowing the vast majority of
my audience is adolescent boys
who have never heard of Mad
Max, allow to me address you
directly: all other action films do
not matter. Mad Max: Fury Road
revives a phenomenal series
from the 80s with more life than
anyone thought the now 70 yearold George Miller still had left in
him. This movie proves that
action filmmaking can not only
provide fun romps, but true
works of art. Every shot, every
PRACTICAL (not CGI)
explosion, every stunt or act of
chaos could be hung in a
museum to be admired for years
to come. This gorgeous piece of
beautiful insanity is a treasure, a
?

rare find in todays ever-growing


culture of unoriginality and
bloated affairs.
1. The Gift
Like Snowpiercer from last
year, this is another film that I
am unable to speak about to a
huge extent without spoiling too
much of the film. What I can say
is stars Joel Edgerton, Rebecca
Hall, and (surprisingly) Jason
Bateman deliver Oscar-worthy
performances in one of the best
thrillers I have ever seen. Unlike
the previous two entries on this
list, this is a dark, haunting
drama about how ones past can
affect their future, and how
everyone has a secret to hide.
This is not the movie it has been
marketed as. It is a surprising
and twisted tale of revenge that is
not for the faint of heart. For
those who can stomach this
remarkable product from firsttime writer and director Joel
Edgerton, a gift of
mesmerizing cinema is waiting.
And that is where I will leave
you. Next time, we will be
discussing the other end of the
spectrum...
