Gas
Prices Continue to Fluctuate
by Sarah Contreras
Gas prices continue to change throughout the country.
It was only a year ago when drivers
in San Jose paid $2.35 for gas - this price was already high. The
average cost of regular unleaded gasoline in California was $3.05
ten days after hurricane Katrina. As wonderful as autumn is, this
season began with the hurricane, which originated near many gasoline
companies by the Gulf Coast, causing a disruption in the manufacturting
of gasoline.
Following the hurricane and the damages from it, the average national
gas price was $3.06. Drivers throughout California paid, at most,
$3.05 for unleaded gas. Amazingly, the prices in California have dropped
by 35 cents per gallon - San Jose residents pay from $2.40-$2.85,
and the national average is $2.38. Gas prices were less than $2 at
the start of this year, now they’re averaging $2.85.

JV Boys Soccer: Starting
Fresh
Usually, the boys J.V. roster is filled with quite a few freshmen.
As there is no freshmen soccer team, it is not at all unusual to see
some of Valley's newest students squaring off against some teams,
like Mitty and Bellarmine, who are chock full of sophomores and even
juniors. Naturally, putting freshman and juniors together seems slightly...
unfair. Things are going to be different this year.

Teacher Survey: Most
Embarrassing Holiday Moment?
Embarassing moments happen to everyone. They are not something
you can avoid or prevent, they are just part of life that most people
have learned to accept and shake off. Christmas brings joy but it
can also bring several embarrassing moments that a majority of people
would much rather forget. The events of Christmas such as the putting
up of the Christmas tree, or maybe trying to put together some of
the presents that say "assembly required" can bring those
most memorable Christmas moments.
