PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WJAR) — A St. Raphael Academy class ring lost nearly five decades ago in Washington’s Puget Sound has found its way back to its owner in Pawtucket. Paul Benson graduated from the school in 1964. His brother, Eric, borrowed the ring in 1979 and took it with him to the West Coast.

Freshman Joel LaChapelle of Northbridge shines in first start for Assumption

Former Northbridge High star quarterback Joel LaChapelle earned his first start for Assumption, and the freshman delivered while helping the Greyhounds to their sixth straight win. LaChapelle was 12-19 for 191 yards and a touchdown in Assumption’s 38-10 victory over Post Oct. 31. “The first quarter was a huge learning curve,” Assumption coach Andy McKenzie said. “Then he just got better and better.” LaChapelle also rushed for 44 yards and a TD. Two weeks ago at St. Anselm, LaChapelle came off the bench to complete 2 of 3 pass attempts for 12 yards and rush for a touchdown. Early in the season, LaChapelle had been battling with two other freshmen for the No. 3 quarterback position. When second-string QB Josiah Patrick went down with a knee injury four weeks ago, the 6-foot-3, 195-pound LaChapelle took on more reps and moved into the backup role behind junior Dom Santiago . “He embraced that role,” McKenzie said, “prepared and got better every day.” LaChapelle’s start against Post was a “coach’s decision,” McKenzie said, and LaChapelle will start for the Greyhounds, the first-place team in the Northeast-10 Conference, Nov. 7 against Franklin Pierce at Brian Kelly ’83 Stadium. At Northbridge, LaChapelle played for

HC Accounting Department Confirmed Fake

WORCESTER, MA— Confirming a suspicion already held by a majority of students, President Vincent Rougeau announced on Friday that the entire accounting department at College of the Holy Cross is indeed fake. “It’s true–the major exists entirely to drive students towards programs like English and Political Science, disciplines that actually have professors and courses here,” said Rougeau, adding that he was impressed the college administration had managed to keep up the ruse for several decades since the major’s “introduction” in 1987. “We’ve been extremely successful in this endeavor,” reported Rougeau, “96.4% of students who initially declare an accounting major switch to something in the humanities within six months. We’re still working hard to get that figure up to 100%.” Rougeau then went on to explain how if students attempt to enroll in upper-level accounting courses like ACCT 275 – Corporate Finance or ACCT 382 – Auditing, they will simply receive an error notice of Iggy the Crusader wearing a construction hat saying “Whoops! The course you are trying to take is completely fictional!” on STAR. “These courses only exist in the digital realm to give the impression of a department,” continued Rougeau. “Of course, we do have to offer intro-level courses for those naive freshmen set on being accountants, but we try our best to make those classes as mundane and mind-numbing as humanly possible so that any reasonable person would switch into something more interesting like psychology or philosophy, lest they go insane.” At the end of the press conference, Rougeau assured the audience that the College was doing everything in its power to track down and detain Bill McKay ’98, the only student to ever successfully graduate with an accounting degree.

Alumnus will buy land, drop legal case against Anna Maria College

PAXTON – An Anna Maria College alumnus who alleges the college reneged on a promise to gift him part of the campus has agreed to drop his claim and buy the land, court records show. David Roy of Paxton, who sought in August to bar the college from selling 2.4 acres he claimed was rightfully his, reached an agreement to buy the plot for $175,000, court records show. Roy, whose parents owned the college’s food service for three decades, has presented evidence in court that Anna Maria offered to gift him the land in 2023 to “right” an unspecified “wrong,” but ultimately reneged. A Worcester Superior Court judge last summer barred Anna Maria from selling the disputed land, and his lawyers this summer asked a judge to find he held “equitable title” to it and prevent the college from selling it. The college, citing lack of interest, canceled its bankruptcy sale of the entire campus last month, noting at the time it planned to sell 2.4 acres to an unspecified bidder. Recently filed court documents show a judge approved sale of the property to Roy, and that he had agreed to dismiss his legal claims after the sale closes. Roy,

The Problem of Excessive Technology at South High

The issue of technology usage in schools has been something that has been around since students and faculty returned from the covid-19 pandemic. During the Covid-19 pandemic, schools were closed and classes were held virtually. Many students had to teach themselves how to complete these assignments digitally at an early age. It was a huge transition for students from being in classrooms to everything being digital. Many years after the pandemic it’s been hard for students to go back to life before covid – and over the years, students have gotten addicted to their phones.

Griswold/Wheeler blanks Montville/St. Bernard for fifth straight win

Not even inclement weather can slow down the Griswold/Wheeler football team. Junior quarterback Liam Cassidy tossed two touchdown passes, senior running back Jaxson Demicco rushed for 102 yards on 23 carries, and the Wolverines’ defense forced seven turnovers en route to a 14-0 ECC Division 3 victory over Montville/St. Bernard during a steady rainstorm Friday night at Montville High School. It was the Wolverines’ fifth straight win . “I couldn’t be more proud of these guys,” Wolverines first-year coach Josh Howarth said. “They’re coming out every single week doing what we expect them to do. We’re playing great football at the right time.” The rain wreaked havoc for both teams during a scoreless first quarter that featured numerous fumbles and dropped passes. “We knew it was going to be a dogfight coming in here,” Howarth said. "Coach Tanner (Montville coach Grove) has these guys rolling right now. We knew that they want to run the ball and play power offense, especially with No. 50 (lineman D’Mitri Charles) who is an absolute stud. We had to play into their game and started to run the ball too. Unfortunately, with the rain and everything we had to play through the elements.” Early
