In the 1990s, the newspaper’s headings returned to a more formal font, analogous to that of The New York Times. Students used opinion pieces to recognize major current events at the time, such as the U.S.’s role in the Gulf War, with hand-drawn political cartoons to accompany them.

Rather than just local businesses, the advertisements particularly targeted the demand for academic and testing support services, with ads promoting SAT lessons with The Princeton Review or Kaplan Test Prep courses. The question is whether the students of the ‘90s attained the coveted 1600 on the SAT that all high-achieving students dream of having.
