Column: The unpresidential debate
By Charlotte Tragos, Columnist
October 18, 2020
Presidential debates are a staple in the run-up to an election, but there was something decidedly different about the first and so far only Donald Trump vs Joe Biden debate that took place Sept. 30 in Cleveland, Ohio.

September 29, 2020
In our patriarchal society it is no surprise that in male dominated industries women are held to a double standard.

Column: On multiracial students and belonging in affinity spaces
By Marissa Gendy, Columnist
September 20, 2020
As young adults, it’s natural for us to hide parts of ourselves in an effort to experience a sense of belonging within a community. We adjust our language (terminology), our attitudes, beliefs, morals and more to dilute our own sense of authenticity. We choose to hide behind a facade to mask any dif...
Column: How a diehard Democrat joined a Republican group
By Charlotte Tragos, Columnist
August 25, 2020
The past four years have challenged the idea that the United States is a great country. Our once admirable foundation of diversity is being destroyed by the divisive rhetoric of our president. Coming from a Gold Star family with roots in Missouri, my background is that of an old-school Democrat. My c...

By Norah Adler, Columnist
August 24, 2020
So you thought because I’m on the Archer Council for Sustainability my column will tell you all about how sustainable I am, right?

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Column: My complex relationship with Archer
By Celeste Ramirez, Multimedia Editor
May 21, 2020
Before I sat down to write this final column, the last addition to my three years on the Oracle, I went all the way back to read my first ever piece, “Latina Girl in an Archer World.” In the column, I reflected on my first year at Archer, specifically my transition to Archer and the culture shock I experience...

May 12, 2020
Dear Seniors, Like many of you, I’ve spent the better part of high school fantasizing about the second semester of senior year. And as if my own personal expectations of alleviated stress and culminating traditions haven’t been enough, the ravishing rumors and retellings I’ve heard from senior...

By Lena Jones, Columnist
April 8, 2020
Let’s go back to another time, before social distancing and online learning. On a breezy January morning, the Archer School for Girls launched its 13th annual Diversity Conference.

This past week, LAUSD and the majority of Los Angeles independent schools canceled classes for at least two weeks to allay COVID-19 apprehension and prevent virus spread.

By Celeste Ramirez, Multimedia Editor
March 17, 2020
When I first watched the Pepsi Super Bowl LIV Halftime Show, I was in awe. Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched Shakira and JLo fiercely sing and dance to songs I jammed out to as a kid.
