According to breastcancer.com 1 in 8 women and 1 in 1000 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Almost every person in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer or will personally know someone who is diagnosed. Think Pink at Pitman High School serves as a reminder of those we have lost and of those who are still fighting for their lives. Students showed their support by wearing at least 50 % pink in a unified effort to raise money for breast cancer awareness.
Think Pink!

About the Contributor
Debby Haynam, General Editor (12)
It was a quiet August morning when I entered the world; my life has not been quiet since. I was homeschooled by my mother until eighth grade; yes I had friends, no I was not socially awkward (most of the time), and no I did not wear pajamas all day. I loved being homeschooled but my experience at Pitman has convinced me that public school can, at times, be tolerable.
As an art fanatic I experienced the amazing art classes provided at Pitman and am currently enrolled in 3D Design. Since I also have a zeal for English and History, I have enjoyed the amazing AP courses and teachers in both subjects. My music taste varies from Frankie Valli and Elton John to Maroon 5 and Adam Lambert; I am known to break out in song at any given moment and know all the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody. My Netflix queue would confuse even the most intelligent of psychologists, and I won’t even start on my favorite TV shows.
This is my fourth year of high school and I am looking forward to joining new clubs, meeting new people, and trying to survive college applications; but of course I am anticipating writing for the Roaring Times most of all. You now know enough to stalk me on Facebook, I assure you I would be very dull to stalk so I do not recommend it, but feel free to express your inner creep.
