The Sophian
The beginning of “mid90s” is comprised of sudden images cut together. Skateboards, still on the ground, are scattered with a force. A hallway where an older brother pounces on the younger one, pelting him with his fists. And the younger brother — the thirteen year-old boy we will come to know as Stevie — looks in the mirror and pokes at his bruised chest, then punches it, groaning with the pain.
Students and their parents took refuge from last Saturday’s rain to enjoy performances by a variety of Smith’s ensemble groups in John M. Greene Hall. “Montage” is sponsored by the Smith music department, and this year’s theme centered around royalty, which came through both in the music and the names of the artists chosen to cover.

At Smith, we’re fortunate enough to have a variety of fitness options for athletes at all levels, including for-credit gym classes, drop-in get fit smith classes, club sports and varsity sports. As someone who’s been a member of our club ice hockey team since my first year, I want to emphasize how much I love the level of competition at the club level. Club teams welcome new and experienced athletes; I’ve been playing ice hockey since I was in second grade. Our team allows me to continue improving on my skills and play against both more competitive and less competitive opponents.
