![ECLIPSE. A solar eclipse is a rare event in which the moon is between Earth and the Sun, blocking the view of the sun. In other parts of the United States, the view of the Sun will be totally blocked, constituting whats called a total eclipse. A total eclipse is a completely different event that is another level of coolness. So if they [the students] have that chance, they should absolutely take the chance to see a total eclipse if they ever can. The next one in Minnesota will be the year 2099, Astronomy and Planetary Science teacher Joseph Martin said.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Drawing-8.sketchpad.png)

New Sports Forum Thursday group talks everything sports
Sports Forum meets during x-period on Oct. 9. “We bring in a variety of different topics from that week in sports and vote on what we want to discuss as a group, and also do different polls and interactive activities,” senior Co-President Isaac Forsgren said.
Sports enthusiasts who are truly dedicated to the subject now have a space to discuss them with fellow devotees: Sports Forum.
“We bring in a variety of different topics from that week in sports and vote on what we want to discuss as a group, and also do different polls and interactive activities,” senior Isaac Forsgren said. “Basically we just discuss sports.”
They discuss different topics, including the injustice in the ranking systems for College Football, the predictions on how professional sports teams will do during their season, the Spartan sports teams’ upcoming games, even the members’ favorite sports experiences.
The club was started by seniors Mychal Morris and Isaac Forsgren, with the help of Upper School history teacher Ryan Oto and math teacher Carl Corcoran.
“[We] felt like there were groups for nearly everyone’s interest, but there was not a group where students could go discuss the world of sports” Morris said.
The club is one of many new student groups and meets on Thursdays during X-period. Their meetings will be held in classroom 423 on the fourth floor.
This club may seem like it is exclusively for major sports fans, but it is open to any student remotely interested in the subject.
“We have a great group of people and anyone can come and have a good time no matter how much sports knowledge they have,” Morris said.

![HANDS, FEET AND MIND READY. I get inspired by just how far Ive come. Due to past injuries like knee arthritis, it was a struggle to even move my body and stuff. [After recovery,] it’s almost like ‘Okay, you actually can move your body now. Lets move it.’ So being able to build up my strength again motivates me, senior Delaney Devine said. Devine is in another injury at the moment, but she hope to get back into boxing once she recovers.
