Alternative Expressions Club The Alternative Expressions Club is a new club founded by junior Ed Driscoll. The thesis of the club is self-expression. The club meets every monday after school in English Teacher Joy Huber’s classroom. Alternative Expressions Club votes on a discussion topic for each upcoming meeting. The first topic was "purpose," and the most recent dialogue was about "The Great Filter Theory." Driscoll said, “It’s essentially a place to share ideas; it's a platform for people that want to have good discussions, and no one will judge you.” |
The club has growing ambitions. Driscoll aims for 10 to 15 members by the end of the year, and the club has ideas for merchandise. According to Driscoll, The club is perfect for anyone to join.
“I’d say the floor is always open. If you have an opinion on something, this is your place to share it,” he said.

The Crimson Feather The Crimson Feather is a club focused on artistic expression in almost any medium. The club creates a publication every year compiled with works from any Mooney student who wants to submit an entry. “Everyone here has something special to share, and I just think it’s a wonderful avenue to share,” photography teacher Maureen Kandray said. “We learn an awful lot about it. We learn when people are writers. This one football player would write poetry everyday, but who knew? We have an opportunity to do it, and we should.” |
Anyone can enter their art by emailing Kandray or English teacher Joy Huber. Editor and Mooney senior Mackenzie Avery works with the two faculty members to create the publication. Art forms such as paintings, drawings, poems, short stories, essays, sculptures, and more can be entered.
The club has a theme for each edition, this year being “Little Things.” The theme was picked to show the importance of the smallest things in life, which fits into this year.
The Crimson Feather was started in 2018. It is a fresh avenue of self-expression for Mooney.
“It lets you have your own voice, and represent how you feel and represent your own perspective,” Avery said.
Self-Expression at Cardinal Mooney is always appreciated, and the Crimson Feather gives students an authentic opportunity to showcase their art.
Avery said, “It’s another way to be involved. It brings you closer to others who have submitted entries. The Crimson Feather makes you think about the world differently and allows you to be yourself.”
