Prom?

“Will you go to prom with me?” Seven simple words that have been transformed into an extravagant performance. No longer is it enough to make a phone call and pose the question. LM seniors are pushing their creative abilities to the max. Months before LMHS’s senior prom, the question is asked and a mobile upload, or “mupload,”is taken—but never in a simple fashion. Nowadays, students are using anything from food to fire trucks to ask their sought after dates to prom.

LM students take over the Narberth job scene

The heart of Narberth is a one-block stretch through the middle of Haverford Avenue. Although just one-tenth of a mile, this little town center is inhabited by all, an eclectic mix of foodies heading to the Cheese Company and Le Petit Mitron, those looking to try their luck by buying lottery tickets over at the Pharmacy, handymen (and women) picking up tools over at Ricklin’s Hardware Store, and more. Narberth’s center is also inhabited by quite a few LM students, all of whom are employed within a two-minute walk of each other.

Kony goes viral: war criminal becomes overnight Internet celebrity

Mostly, they are pure entertainment—Rebecca Black crooning about her favorite day of the week in “Friday;” David DeVore Jr. reacting hilariously to anesthesia in “David After Dentist;” Caitlin Upton responding nonsensically to a pageant question in “Miss Teen South Carolina.” Sometimes, they even have been known to hit a political note—first in 2004 with Jib Jab’s “This Land” parody, and then in 2008 by Will.i.am in his music video of then-senator Barack Obama’s speech “Yes We Can.”

LM goes green with eco-friendly technology

Many LM students are aware of LM’s newest features, like the Bryant Gymnasium and the black box theater, but unaware of the eco-friendly features that were installed with the new building. Both LM and Harriton received acknowledgement from the government for being environmentally friendly. “There was a big push when Lower Merion and Harriton were being built to achieve a green label from the government and to be a lead green school,” said head custodian Jim Perri. He acknowledged that LM students and faculty are very environmentally conscious.

Green House Galore

If you happened to tour our building you would have the opportunity to come across many of LM’s interesting features, but there are certain things that make LM especially unique: our incredible gym, the atrium, and… the greenhouse? We have a greenhouse? Yes. On the third floor you’ll find the home of hundreds of different plants in all different shapes and sizes primarily used for the Landscape Architecture and Horticulture class.

Admin building gets facelift

Many students have long believed that construction has been completed as they now approach the end of their second year in the new high school, but work has continued in the historical LM Administration Building. LM Head of Operations, Pat Guinnane, was happy to discuss the renovations.
