911 and stay there with him/her until the ambu-

“i would pull them to the side of the road to make sure that they

didn’t hit any other cars. i would give the person a good telling off before buying them a double

shot mocha with a peppermint twist from

starbucks.”

“i would get out of the car and see if they are okay. if it is bad i would

call 911.”

“i would throw big rocks at it to get it to leave her

the other side of the world

nantou city is the capital of nantou county. the city lies between the bagua moun-

tains and the maoluo river on taiwan, a beautiful green island located 75 miles off the coast of mainland china, in the Pacific Ocean. The exotic foods and beautiful chinese-based architec-ture would have made nantou city an amazing place to visit over spring break. senior cassie loweth was able to visit taiwan two full weeks before spring break even began to partici-pate in a softball convention.

“i was there with team indiana. it’s a softball club i’m a member of,” loweth said. “my coach, cara Johnson-hirsch, had taught over in taiwan before so they invited us to the convention.”

loweth and her team stayed in nantou city from february 20 through february 28. the plane tickets cost $1,300 each, but their hotel rooms and food were paid for by the mayor of nantou city.

“the trip was meant as an opportunity for us to interact with other softball teams from around the world,” loweth said. “there were some other softball teams there from indiana besides us, but there were a lot of teams from chinese colleges as well, and there were even several olympic athletes there that we got to talk to.”

each day was carefully planned out in advance so that the teams would follow a strict schedule.

“every day [the entire team] would wake up, eat breakfast, play a softball game, eat lunch with our opponents, then go back to our hotel and shower,” loweth said. “then at night we would have dinner then go to a planned fun event.”

before each game, the teams would exchange gifts, and after lunch the teams had an opportunity to talk with each other and learn more about their respective cultures. it was an experience that loweth relished.

“i got to meet a whole lot of new people and make some new friends. i made friends with smiley, a pitcher for nantou college, our translator Janice, and our hotel bellhop,” loweth said. “i also made friends with spy, an olympic player who was there teaching another class. later, i was able to talk

to [softball players in spy’s class] and i became friends with a lot of them. ”

loweth was also impressed by the skill of the other teams that team indiana played.

“shanghai was the best pro-team in the 18-40 age range,” loweth said. “my team won only two of our six matches, but our girls got progressively better every match. i’m really proud of them.”

despite the busy schedule, loweth and her teammates were still able to find time to go sightseeing in the city.

“we would always go sightseeing in the mornings, before the games. it was a really safe community, so we’d just go out and explore the food, people and the culture,” loweth said. “we also visited sunmoon lake, the largest lake in taiwan. i think that the sunmoon lake tour was my favorite part of the trip.”

As she visited the shops and flea markets with her teammates, loweth spied some tokens that she instinctively bought to take home with her.

“i brought back some clothes and taiwanese currency,” loweth said. “i also brought back several gifts for my friends.”

in the end, loweth was thankful for the opportunity to visit taiwan and become immersed in a foreign culture.

“it was an amazing experience,” loweth said.

“the trip w

as meant as an opportunity

for us to interact with other softball

teams from

around the world.”

as freshman year begins, students wonder what high school will bring them. most

people try to make the most out of their high school years. as time goes on they make memories and meet new people and before they know it, it’s time to focus on college and graduating from high school.

senior brandon eddelman gives underclassmen feedback on how to make your high school experience meaningful.

because eddelman planned on joining the marines for next year, he did not take the s.a.t.

“i didn’t take the s.a.t because i’m not going straight into college, but i would suggest getting it done as soon as possible so you can start working on getting scholarships to help pay for college,” eddelman said.

eddelman’s senior project was on the d.a.r.e program to keep kids off drugs and alcohol.

“I was influenced to do this project because most of my family are alcoholics,” eddelman said.

eddelman admitted that the most stressful part about the senior project was simply getting started with it.

“I had to contact the D.A.R.E officer to get my project approved and it took forever,” eddelman said. “everything else was pretty much even. there was really not an easy part.”

eddelman does not have too many regrets during high school.

“i have a girlfriend to take to this year’s prom, so there’s not really any regrets, but i wish i was a little

better at math and my hand writing could improve a little.”

eddelman had advice for the underclassmen to help prepare them for their senior year and move on their way towards college.

“get all of your major classes over before the last semester of your senior year, there is lots of stress,” eddelman said.

eddelman’s favorite high school experience was the Veteran’s Project during his junior year. “i’m going into the marines after high school, so i wanted to get as much information on the marines as i could,“ eddelman said. “i got to interview veterans that were in war and hear about their experiences.”

eddelman is also preparing and training himself physically for the marines.

“i take a weight class here at school for strength. i go to martial arts class four days a week to learn self- defense tactics and to help increase my cardio endurance,” eddelman said. “and every wednesday I go to the recruiters office for physical training to help a little bit of both strength and endurance.”

the marines started to become a tradition for eddelman’s family.

“first my grandpa entered, then my brother, and now i will be going into the marines,” she said

being in the marines meant a lot to eddelman.“the marine corps means everything to me. i’ll

get money for a college through the marines, and i have always wanted a challenge to help my mental and physical strength,” eddelman said.senior brandon eddelman

changing directions

as a child, she grew up playing the game of fast-pitch softball; spending

an enormous amount of time and dedication just to get a little bit closer to achieving her goals. as time went on, however, she decided her dreams had changed. Junior lindsey Padalik quit high school softball to perform and dedicate her time to theatre.

“making the decision to quit softball was very hard, softball was my life,” Padalik said. “i don’t regret my decision because i enjoy theater and i am playing on a travel team over the summer.”

Padalik had played softball for about ten years before she made this decision to switch to theatre. She had been on a total of five travel teams and played in high school her freshman and sophomore years on varsity.

“during the high school season i was playing every day after school and on most saturdays,” Padalik said. “even over the summer for my travel team i was practicing three times a week and then playing tournaments every weekend.”

Padalik is still going to play travel over the summer.

“this year i am playing for indiana nitro over the summer,” Padalik said. “it’s good that i can still play summer ball so i don’t have to give up softball completely.”

Padalik’s parents were very supportive of

her decision.“my parents wanted me to be happy,”

Padalik said. “they knew i enjoyed both softball and theatre, so the decision was up to me.”

Padalik admitted that there are times she missed playing softball.

“the thing i miss the most about softball is playing in actual games,” Padalik said.

Padalik had been interested in theatre ever since she was a little girl.

“when i lived in detroit, as a child i danced, then i moved to columbus and started to play softball,” Padalik said. “after dedicating all my time to softball, i decided to pick theatre back up.”

Padalik performed in the spring musical ‘of thee i sing’.

“i am in the chorus in the musical,” Padalik said. “my favorite song is the title of the play, ‘of thee i sing’.”

before a performance the performers gathered together, worked on exercises and got their energy going. they perfect their parts and put on their make up as they prepared for the show.

“before the show begins i get very nervous. i make sure that i know every single line,” Padalik said. “if i come across any rough spots, I fix them. My main focus when I’m out on the stage is don’t mess up.”

on april 3, adults and students waited outside in the cold, bitter weather looking around for the vehicle that Mrs.

ruth Musillami drove and the three other vehicles that would follow. they were waiting for the 18 students from lohne, Ger-many that would be staying with them. Junior Natasha Powell waited for Vanessa ussling, the student who would soon be living with her.

“My family has always wanted to host. My little brother and my mom are really excited to have her here,” Powell said.

before ussling’s arrival Powell and us-sling wrote e-mails almost every day to get to know each other.

“We talk about the similarities between us,” Powell said.

Powell hoped that their friendship through writing would make ussling more comfortable coming to the united States.

“She [ussling] asked about what type of clothes she will need and what type of transportation we will take to get to school,” Powell said.

along with arranging the small stuff, such as what to pack, the host students had to also make sure their houses would be suitable for the exchange students.

“Vanessa didn’t like seafood and my family doesn’t eat it so I knew she would be okay at my house,” Powell said. “one kid was allergic to cats so he had to make sure he didn’t go to any houses with cats.”

once the details were arranged ussling was set for her stay in america.

The first few sights of the United States were not surprising to ussling.

“everything is really big here, like the streets and houses,” Ussling said. “I expected to see what I saw in films which por-trayed america very well.”

One of the first places Powell took Ussling when she arrived

was Wal-Mart.“It was really huge, with a lot of people,” ussling said.From stores to transportation, as well as school, the differ-

ences were endless.“In Germany, the class schedule was always different; it would

change everyday,” ussling said. “Here, it is the same every day.”Once at school with Powell, Ussling noticed a major change.“the way people dress at school here is a lot more casual

than in Germany,” ussling said. “I do wear sweats sometimes to school, but not as much as students do here.”

Powell took ussling to everyday events. She also wanted to show her places she wouldn’t typically get to see.

“In history club, we took a trip to Conner Prairie so I wanted to bring Vanessa,” Powell said.

after the trip Powell and ussling shared many memories .

“It was very crazy. We had to act like slaves which was scary,” ussling said.

another site they wanted the exchange students to see was a typical college campus. the students all went to Indiana university for a visit.

“Iu was huge! It was like their own little city,” ussling said. “our universities can’t even compare.”

leaving on april 20, the impact ussling had on Powell’s life was significant.

“I really enjoyed talking to her,” Powell said. “I would never have learned some of the stuff she told me through a book or in class.”

ussling left behind small town Columbus to head to New York City for five days before flying home to Germany. Ussling had stayed in touch with her family during her stay by e-mailing them everyday.

“We didn’t watch the news much while she was around. I didn’t want her [ussling] to think bad stuff is all that happens here,” Powell said.

lending a Helping HandJunior Nicholas Greven’s father travels back and forth from eldoret and Nairobi, Kenya doing charity work

after having two parents in the Peace corps, it only makes sense that junior nicholas greven would be inspired to help people.

“my mom and [my dad] were both in the Peace corps and they have influenced me to be interested in travel and service,” Greven said.

greven’s parents were both stationed in africa for their time in the Peace corps.

“in the Peace corps my dad was in gabon and my mom was in niger,” greven said.

while in the Peace corps his parents helped in different ways.“my mom was an english teacher in niger for two years. my dad

worked in agriculture, specifically fish farming,” Greven said.greven’s dad travels back and forth to eldoret, kenya and nairobi,

kenya.“he goes to eldoret, kenya to do construction consulting on a hospital

that the amPath Program is building there,” greven said.greven’s father’s work in construction is what led him to the iu-kenya

program.“he got involved because of his experience with construction. i sup-

pose it helped that he had been to africa in the past,” greven said.His father has been involved in the program for about five years.“he originally got involved through the aids action group in colum-

bus, whom he had helped to organize benefits,” Greven said. “Upon giving the money aids action had raised to iu-kenya he offered his services as a construction consultant.”

greven’s parents motivate him to become more involved in the world.“[their travels] have gotten me interested in public health issues and

made me realize they are a serious problem,” greven said. although greven has not yet joined his dad in the program he

hoped to in the future.“[i hope] to go with him the next time he goes,” greven said.the impact that his father’s travels has had on greven’s life has

been profound.“That [my dad] travels influences me a lot because it gives me a

better informed perspective on the world,” greven said.

getting up at 4 in the morning and being in good spirits are rarely two phrases that are used together, but for sophomore

nick tobias these phrases went together perfectly. “in the morning, i have to get up and feed the cows and pigs and

water them, “ tobias said. “in the afternoon when i get home i feed and water them again.”

tobias’ family farm has had many animals come through its’ fences.“we had two horses, three cows and eight pigs,” tobias said.after his family farm had to sell their animals, tobias decided to

get a job on a different farm.“i work on a farm during the summer,” tobias said. “we grow

corn, wheat and beans, and the farmer i work for has chickens, goats and beef cows.”

tobias had been working on the farm for a year.“i got the job a year ago, after i met chad simms. he owns a

farm by ceraland,” tobias said.knowing other people that worked on the farm made the job

more enjoyable for tobias.“my brother, Jeffrey tobias, works with me on the farm,” tobias

said. tobias was responsible for making sure all the animals were fed

and watered. “when i get there i have to get their feed and check water for

all animals, check in with the farmer and see what we’re doing that day,” tobias said. “before we leave we feed and water all the animals again.”

while working on the farm tobias learned a lot.“i learned a lot working out there that i didn’t think i would need

to know,” tobias said.tobias enjoyed working and living on a farm so much he hated to

leave when the summer was over.“my least favorite part is when we all go back to school and have

to wait until next year to work again,” tobias said.

senior timmy white did not feel the need for speed. instead, he hoped on his bike and

took a leisurely ride. “my parents taught me how to ride my bike,

we would go on family rides a lot when i was younger,” White said. “My first bike was Ninja turtle.”

ever since white’s trike days, riding his bike versus driving had been a simple decision.

“before i got my license i rode my bike everywhere,” white said. “once my friend and i even rode to the bowling alley.”

saving gas money as well as helping the environment, white did not mind enduring bad weather.

“i rode my bike basically this whole school year, even through the winter,” white said.

below freezing temperatures are common for winter mornings causing white to have to wear layers to help him stay warm.

“in the winter i wear gloves and a fuzzy hat along with my winter coat,” white said.

compared to last year white has greatly increased his riding time.

“last year i didn’t ride my bike to school as much, i probably only rode half the time,” white said.

with record breaking gas prices at the beginning of the year, white saved hundreds opting to ride instead of drive.

“from august to november i put zero gal-lons of gas in my car,” white said.

along with conserving money, white en-joyed the other benefits to riding.

“it’s about a mile from my house to school so it takes me only about five minutes,” White said. “it’s really cool because i can sleep in and not have to worry about getting a parking spot.”

almost everyday you can see white’s bike locked to a tree outside the band doors.

even next year, in college, white hopes on taking his bike.

“i plan on riding my bike to classes in col-lege,” white said. “and hopefully teach my children how to ride.”

ultimate FrisbeeMembers of North’s Cross Country team give ‘33 things’ some information about a tradition and past-time they share outside of running.

during the off-season, the cross country

team has a hobby that not only keeps them in shape, but helps them stay united as a team.

several winter and sum-mer afternoons the team

can be found in the field at north christian church, playing ultimate Frisbee. Ultimate Frisbee is the official name of the game, while a “frisbee” is just the disk used to play.

“i just remember coming into high school and playing in the winter during the off season. it is tradition”, cross-country team member junior mike solik said.

though the players do get competitive, it is more of a fun past-time than anything else. occasionally, even friends of the cross run-ners get together and join in on the game.

“ultimate [frisbee] has been a tradition between all of the runners, but my brother is the one who got me personally into it” solik said,,“the tradition has been around for at least eight years. it may have been around longer, but i’m not sure.”Junior eric scher, another member of the

cross country team, takes part in the ath-letic side of the game, but also enjoys making memories with his friends.

“usually, at some point during the game when someone passes the frisbee to slick [mike solik], and he will start screaming ‘the winds are in my favor!’ before he hurls it toward the trees,” scher said.

aside from being a way for a huge group of friends to get together and hang out, ultimate frisbee is also a way for the team to make new friends.

“i always like to see the people new to the team coming out to play,” scher said. “it’s neat to see everyone getting into the game and is a really good bonding experience for the team.”

Freshman Caitlin Wilson

freshman caitlin wilson tries on her pageant dress.

freshman caitlin wilson puts on mascara, preparing for a pageant.

very day for weeks, freshman caitlin

wilson dug through her mailbox, hoping

to find one particular thing; a letter from

the miss Junior teen miss pageant. the day

the letter finally arrived she did not get

a chance to shuffle through the stack of

mail. her brother beat her to it.

“i walked in after school and he said, ‘hey, some-

thing came in the mail for you, it’s a huge envelope.’ he

handed it to me and i ran upstairs to my room to open

it. The first thing that came out of the envelope was a

letter that said ‘congratulations! you have been selected

as a state finalist!’ I was so proud of myself,” Wilson said.

This was Wilson’s first pageant, and though she did

not quite know what to expect, she was thrilled. the let-

ter contained pageant dates, policies, a name badge

and a state finalist certificate.

“I have my certificate displayed on the wall in my

room. it’s a rather humble display though,” she said.

“it doesn’t have a frame or anything. it’s just stuck

on the wall with a piece of tape next to my closet.”

wilson decided to give pageantry a try after

receiving an open call in the mail. in february 2009,

wilson submitted her photos and personal information

to the miss Junior teen indiana pageant open call, held in

indianapolis. the miss Junior teen indiana pageant was a

division of the national american miss pageant. wilson’s

inspiration drew from many places, including thoughts to

help and inspire others.“i hope that i can help girls realize their inner beauty

and help them find confidence,” Wilson said.

the pageant will not be held until July, but that’s not

to say that wilson had time to spare before she needed

to start preparing for it. she juggled a hectic schedule of

her own, in addition to the required training seminars

and meetings of the pageant, which began on march 28.

“At the first training seminar, I was a little anxious

because i didn’t know what to expect. we were called

up to walk out on the stage and speak into the mi-

crophone. it was really cool,” wilson said. “i also got to

meet the reigning miss teen indiana. that was amazing

and kind of intimidating at the same time.”

wilson is involved in north’s concert marching

band and was a member of the cheer team,

columbus Power elite. wilson also attended

marching band practices over this summer,

in addition to her pageant.“i really think i do a good job of

balancing my school career with my individual ambi-tions. i manage to keep straight as, travel with my cheer team, practice for band, attend church youth

group, and still make time

for myself and my friends,”

wilson said.

though some people may have assumed that all of

the responsibilities wilson carried on her shoulders

would be a disadvantage in a competition such as the

miss Junior indiana teen pageant, because of stress or

time management, wilson felt entirely different.

“i think that performing in band and competitive

cheer will help me in the pageant. these activities have

helped me gain confidence to be in front of a crowd,“

wilson said. “i truly love performing and always strive to

give my best.” in addition to the incredible amount of attention wilson

devoted to her activities and teams, wilson also had a

passion for staying involved in the world of politics.

“i consider myself a republican and i usually side and

agree with the republican candidate’s debates,” wilson

said. “Politics spark my interest

because i think it’s interesting to

see how the decisions made in

washington can affect an average

girl like me in columbus, indiana”

regardless of the busy lifestyle

that wilson led, she had people in

her life that made it easier for her

who do not mind the needs that her ambitions created.

“my family has always been supportive of me. my

mom is always willing to take me where i need to be,”

wilson said. “we are always on the go, so she has

become my traveling buddy.”unlike free time, ambitions were something that

wilson had plenty. wilson planned of maintaining her

impressive grades, and venturing on to a secondary edu-

cation, though she did not yet have a concrete career

plan. nevertheless, wilson did feel that the activities she

involved herself in were ones that will benefit her in all

fields of life.“i love to work with other people and help them

learn new things. i also love being in front of a group.

i think this is why i like competitive cheer and band,”

wilson said. “Pageantry will help with any career i plan

to pursue. It gives you confidence, poise, and public

speaking skills that will help you achieve anything. “

although wilson may seem like an endless source

of drive and motivation, she is still, however, a normal

teenage girl. wilson occasionally found herself need-

ing a pick-me-up, and she achieved that in a way she

described as ‘giving herself a pep talk.’

“there is a phrase that i remind myself of every

time i get frustrated, tired, and feel like giving up. this

phrase is ‘winners never quit, and quitters never win.’

this gives me a sense of determination because i want

to be a winner in life. not just in pageants or competi-

tions, i want to be successful in achieving my life goals

too,” wilson said. “i always ask myself, ‘do i want to be

remembered as a quitter or a winner?’ i answer myself

by pulling my shoulders back, standing up straight, and

giving my best. that way i can truly say i am a winner.”

“i love to work with other people

and help them learn new things.”

“i have a record player that i love to listen to. the song that

is on this record is called “the wizard”. the song is about

how the wizard makes your wishes come true. i am wishing

for a win at this pageant.”

“these medals are the product of the hard work i have

done at columbus Power elite. we put a lot of effort into

our routines and seeing all your work pay off in a win at a

competition is very rewarding.”

“this tag was on my dress at the shop. i went into ‘that

special touch’ and i saw this dress and i knew it was the one

i wanted.”

“i think these buttons show a little tid-bit about the things i

take pride in. i am proud to be a republican. i am proud to

do my part to help the earth by recycling, and i take pride

in my school work and in making good grades.”

“i wear this name tag to pageant events and training so that

I can be identified. It makes you feel good when people call

you by your name, even if it is printed on a card around

your neck.”

“i love to play music. this was last year’s marching band mu-

sic. it is probably the best piece of music i have ever played.

it was so much fun.”

taking video games into the real world, dungeons and dragons players took these

plot lines into action. senior Jacob clark had played video games previously, but once he found people playing dungeons and dragons he was hooked.

“i came across a couple of friends that played. after watching them play enough times, i started to understand it, but i have mostly taught myself,” clark said. “it’s like video games without the tV.”

to become involved in this game, clark said it took book work as well as studying other players. clark watched his friends play games to be good enough to start his own character.

“to start you need three books, Player’s handbook, dungeon master’s handbook and monster manual,” clark said. “the Player’s handbook will help to make a character, the dungeon guide tells what the dungeon master should do and the monster manual tells of the monsters you will encounter.”

the game was based on how much knowledge each player had of their character, the other

characters and all things involved in game play. clark found that dungeons and dragons brought his friends together.

“i like it because for the most part it gives me something to do with my friends and gives us one day a week to hang out,” clark said. “it is also a lot of fun because we have a lot of inside jokes from the funny stuff that happens.”

senior stephan miller started playing dungeons and dragons as a business venture freshman year.

“my friend was going to play the world d and d game with a base module,” miller said. “the same game was being played all over the world. he received free miniatures and free stuff, so i just planned on selling my free stuff back to him after the game.”

miller sold the free things he had received, but then decided he really liked the game and to continue on.

“i liked it and i wanted something new to play. i played with the pre-made character to learn the rules of the game. there is not a good way to teach d and d. you can explain everything but then an unexpected thing will happen and then they know nothing,” miller said. “you just have to sit down with the Player’s handbook and get the combat rounds down.”

miller had played 40 games or more but only four of them being successful. most games end because the players cannot meet anymore to play. each game is called a campaign.

“it gives me a chance to do something i am good at that not a lot of people understand,” miller said. “i take pride in knowing the rules and being able to help other people.”

dungeons and dragons led miller into other role playing games.

“i play l.a.r.P., live action role playing, in india-napolis as a part of the global game called Vampires of the requiem,” miller said.

this style of gaming took more discipline when it came to be true to the character and the game itself.

“this game is being played all over the world. for seven to nine hours you have to be the character,” miller said. “i am a 17-year-old boy from hartford, connecticut from the 1850s, who was turned into a vampire and is in search of a family and a place to fit in.”

the players must speak and act in every way like the character they have created.

“it is really hard to separate myself from my character, but i am a pretty intelligent person, but my character is illiterate. i have to pretend i don’t understand big words,” miller said.

gaming has become a part of miller’s life in that he feels more comfortable about where his life is.

“before things didn’t make sense but now with role playing things really don’t makes sense, but i like it,” miller said.

junior caleb denney clears the bar for track talent

i am aPole Vaulter

as junior caleb denney secured his grip on the pole, he readied his mind for the jump ahead. he began

his sprint down the runway and soon approached the box. denney stuck the pole, completed the plant, rocked back and jumped. he could sense victory as he soared over the bar, just as he did when he first took up the sport.

“i have been pole vaulting since the beginning of track season my freshman year,” denney said. “i started because it seemed like it would be an adrenaline rush.”

After trying it for the first time, Denney decided to stick with pole vault instead of another track activity.

“i pole vault because there is a lot more technical skill than running events,” he said. “it requires a lot of technique to be good at.”

even with a sound approach, pole vault can be an intimidat-ing sport.

“the biggest challenge is not letting fear get to you,” denney said. “Pole vault can be very dangerous, and when you worry about that, you become a little more timid when ‘attacking’ the vault, causing you to mess up.”

the euphoria of soaring across the bar is well worth that bit of courage.

“The best part [is] flying through the air and landing on the mats,” he said.

Just as denney found pole vault to be an enjoyable sport, he thought other people would have a good time with it.

“of course i would recommend it,” denney said. “i would tell them that the people are fun and that vaulting is fun.”

Pole vault is far from simple, but that was all the more rea-son for denney to carry on with it.

“It may be a little difficult at times,” he said. “But who doesn’t like a good challenge?”

CoLLege- the only person from North who is attending Notre Dame from the Class of 2009

DogS- his two dogs can actually open the doors in their home

memorieS- freshman year was by far his favorite year of high school

“i’ve always wanted to go there ever since i can remember. my father attended there and he is now a

surgeon, but as of now i am still undecided when it comes to my major.”

“They figured out how to open doors, so they open the pantry doors and eat all of our snacks.

now we have to put rubber bands on those doors so they can’t get in.”

“everything was new and everything seemed so much bigger. as friends we were together more and spent more time with each other. i miss my friend austin

goode (who went to east).”

hair StyLeS - recently he got a new hair style

“i’ve done the bowl cut for the past three years for the dodge ball tournament. everyone

on our team does something different and crazy with their hair.”

CLaSSeS- he loves to create handmade keepsakes

“my favorite class is ceramics. i’m in ceramics two. i like mr. Pulley and i like to make stuff with my hands instead

of doing class work.”

SportS- increases his intensity for baseball each year“sophomore year i got to dress varsity. we were ranked

fourth in the state. my junior year i was a designated hitter on varsity. And this year I play first base and am a designated

hitter on varsity, each year i’ve worked my way up a step. cody Penrose, senior, and i hit back to back home runs in

the swipe of his dolphin sunset credit card was a familiar sight to sophomore eric Prentiss, and this time it was no big deal. ever since

his trip to germany last year, when his mother gave him a credit card, Prentiss became accustomed to simply charging it.

“i use it to buy everything,” Prentiss said. “except for things i don’t want a record of.”

Prentiss started using this principle after he was caught for using his credit card for purchases not outlined by his mother, such as energy drinks and sandwiches.

“i bought amps and subs with it and didn’t realize it would show up on record,” Prentiss said. “me and mom had a talk after that.”

Prentiss quickly came to understand what the standards were for a credit card user.

“you need to be responsible and trustworthy to not abuse it,” Prentiss said. “if you’re going to have one, be sure you’re responsible.”

in the matter of money, sometimes the best way to learn was to face problems and overcome them yourself. business teacher laura richardson gained part of her business knowledge this way.

“When I teach my personal finance class, I tell kids the mistakes I made with credit cards,” she said. “i know about credit cards and i know the pitfalls because I’ve experienced that stuff first-hand.”

Richardson first started using a credit card in college, when her parents gave her one to use.

“they told me certain things i was supposed to use it for, but i wound up using it for everything,” she said.

richardson cautioned against habitually using credit cards for small purchases, like she did, and how it can lead to debt.

“what people use credit cards for is just day-to-day expenses, meals,

gas, and then they carry a balance, and they continue to pay interest on a purchase that they have long since used,” she said. “it winds up not being a good way to manage your money.”

every year, millions of americans fell into the same problems richardson did.

“i think credit cards could be more transparent about what’s actually involved in the fees,” richardson said. “if you ever look at a credit card agree-ment, you could fold it out and it might be three feet long of fine print back-to-back with all kinds of verbs.”

it may seem deceiving, but those catches were where the companies make money.

“indiana has one of the highest bankruptcy rates and home foreclosure rates,” richardson said.

we need to better educate and prepare our kids for the future and credit cards in order to make indiana better off.

“With financial education, I think you need to start early, and it needs to

be continuous and ongoing,” richardson said. “many kids walk out of high school and don’t understand what interest is or how it’s computed, or how that really adds on to the price of the things that they buy.”

richardson had a great idea to help solve that problem.“At North, we have the personal finance class,” she said. “If that were

a requirement for all students in order to graduate, i think that would put [indiana] at least one step towards better educating students.”

Perhaps by this method, people will be better able to manage expenses and credit cards, despite the urge to spend as Prentiss described it.

“it’s a blessing to be able to buy things when you want,” Prentiss said. “but a burden because you have the power to buy so much.”

[ ]robot man senior brice russell is an avid member of the robotics club

high anxiety and everyone was ecstatic, no one could hear a thing. this was regionals for the robotics team according to

senior brice russell.russell had been on the robotics team for all four years and had

been captain for two years.“i’ve been co-captain since my sophomore year,” russell said.russell joined the robotics team because robotics teacher mr.

sims asked him to. “it was a new club forming and they needed people to join,”Russell said. “Every first Saturday in January we come in to school

in the morning and watch the official broadcast by NASA and they tell us what our mission is,” russell said.

the nasa broadcast told the robotics team what their mission for the year was going to be. each year the robotics team had a dif-ferent mission they have to complete.

“this year we had to deliver ‘moon rocks’ and put them in a trailer behind enemy lines.”

every competition had a prize of nine-million dollars in scholar-ships and russell won 35 thousand dollars in scholarships.

“it wasn’t that big a deal, it was just like, okay”each year the robotics team got out of school for four days to

compete in regionals.

SuPer FaN Certain fans can be classified as super fans; find out who

{by Madeline Hodek}

every school has one. it’s the guy at the football game that has his

body covered in blue paint, or the girl at the basketball game with the painted tank top.

“a super fan is a dedicated indi-vidual who would be happy to attend any sporting event and would go crazy,” senior matt harrison said.

Super fans wore crazy outfits and cheered on the team the whole game. they led the fans in cheers and started the wave across the student section and, on rare occasions, they got the parents involved as well.

“a super fan must have passion,” central basketball coach mr. mike mcbride said. “i refuse to miss a notre dame football game.”

a super fan knew the team and everyone who played the positions.

“north has good super fans, but not enough of them,” harrison said.

super fans arrived at basketball

games, soccer games or football games ready to cheer and support their team.

“our super fans are supportive to our team and distracting to the other team, which is exactly what they are supposed to do,” harrison said.

wearing the proper attire is a huge part of being a good super fan for north.

“dressing up helps you get in the mood,” harrison said.

a super fan is someone who will dress up and lead the crowd in cheers during the game.

super fans are supportive no mat-ter what the score is, and they try to boost the team to play better.

“i have been involved with the super fans and a lot of them are fun,” harrison said.

north has many dedicated super fans but there is always room for more. {by Kayleigh Steigerwalt}

a new meaning to ‘lucky charms’athletes prepare for games in different ways and have good luck charms

socks. a headband. a favorite song. whether it’s an article of clothing or a

method of preparation, athletes put their own twist on the term ‘lucky charm.’

some athletes rely on objects or rituals to help with their success.

“i always have to listen to my iPod before i run. i like to listen to songs that pump me up to run. i also always wear the same socks for races,” freshman macey thornburg said.

There has been no scientific study to prove that these lucky charms really do help in competition. but athletes know in their minds that they need that lucky charm, that

ritual to be done before the competition, to be able to perform to the best of their ability.

“before every basketball game, i have to take a shower. it probably doesn’t help me as far as performance, but i do it anyway. i think in my mind it causes me to feel like it helps me, i feel like i play better when i do it,” freshman tyler goodall said.

whether it be solely mental, or whether one actually does perform better with the use of their ritual or lucky charm, it’s there as a pacifier, a security blanket, a familiar feeling.

“it makes me feel like i’m in my own world, and that nobody can compete with me. It just makes me more confident in my race,” sophomore gabe ocasio said.

most student athletes have lucky charms, even if it goes unnoticed. some may not even realize that they have a lucky charm or a ritual until one time they don’t have it, and then they can feel the absence.

“i don’t think i could run without listening to ‘a bay bay’ before a race because it’s part of my preparation. i have to have the same routine before each race or else it just doesn’t feel right,” ocasio said.

oh, mom! Students talk about life at school with a parent as a staff member

barreTT beachat school you get eight hours of time away from your parents. imag-

ine going to school with them. that’s what junior barrett beach does monday through friday with his mom, lrc assistant mrs. Judith brown.

beach agrees that having a teacher here is not always as bad as people my think.

“if i need money for lunch or a permission slip signed, she is always around, “ beach said. “also, i can get free rides to and from school.”

although sometimes, beach does not like having his parent working in the same building.

“she tends to tell embarrassing stories about me to her kids,” beach said. “i’ve had kids walk up to me in the halls and ask me if i’ve really done this or that, i ask them ‘where did you hear that?’, and it usually traces back to my mom.”

besides being embarrassed by his mother, school work is a never-ending reminder.

“she is a constant watchdog of my grades,” beach said.

not all aspects of having a par-ent here at school is negative.

“it’s very convenient to always have her around,” beach said, “it’s always nice to know at least one person here is always rooting for me.”

Trey sandersfor sophomore trey sanders the school

day would not be the same with out his mom and english teacher mrs. sarah sanders.“It has it’s benefits like an extra locker,” sanders said. “she can help me with home-work and other stuff.”although sanders has never had his mother as a teacher he does not always like having her at school.“it’s annoying,” sanders said. “she embar-rasses me sometimes because she is very loud and i’m not.”without his mom at school sanders would most likely not do his homework.“she knows my teachers and she knows if i am working hard or being lazy,” sanders said.

adam davis

students go to their counselor for information and advice. sopho-

more adam davis can go to his mom, guidance counselor mrs. luann davis. davis like other students has mrs. davis as their counselor.“i have my mom for my counselor, but i don’t have to meet with her like everyone else does,” davis said, “if i need something signed or i need a pass i can go to her.”

davis’s mom is in tune with how her son is doing in school.“she always knows my grades or if i upset a teacher,” davis said.davis’s mom is like any other; she wants her son to accomplish the best.“she is always on me to get things done,” davis said.even though davis’s mom is a constant watchdog, he would not change his mother’s career.“while it is annoying sometimes, i think the good outweighs the bad,” davis said.

sophomore lefty rivera may not look like the classic writer, but he often

wrote stories to express himself. he wanted to break the stereotypes that are put on him.

“People in general make the assump-tion that i come off as mean, but they just need to get to know me,” rivera said.

rivera wanted to show people who he is through his writing. he wrote so he could be who he really was. rivera tried to push the limits and write what he felt no matter what.

“i [think] no one will cross the bound-aries that i cross,” rivera said. “i don’t know any teen that has as much ambition that i have to inform readers, or to be successful.”

wwhile rivera wanted what most teens want, to be successful, that is not what drives him to write.

“i don’t know my dad, so my second oldest brother basically raised and taught

me. my mom is one of those people who don’t really know how to show love, so my ambition is to impress her,” rivera said.

rivera wrote about his life, and about the world around him. rivera can turn anything into a story.

“i write about anything that pops out, or sounds interesting,” rivera said. “even turning everyday words into a story you will want to read again, again and again.”

if the talent is writing, get paper, because not very many people can write down what they are thinking or put it into a story. take things for granted and live your life. no matter the talent do it even if it doesn’t entertain others.

“writing helps me get my feelings out there,” rivera said, “i know if people don’t like the things i write it doesn’t matter because i like them, and i can also always change some things around.”

31Ken & the SwizzlesJuniors david yen, Jacob logan, Jacob

kennedy, and senior michael allen talk about their band

a day in bandJunior cassie boyer explains how she puts together her clarinet for band class every day

i take out my bell (or bottom part) then i get the lower joint and connect it to my bell. then i connect he lower joint and bell

to the upper joint. then the barrel con-nects to the upper joint then the mouth

piece goes on top.

Step 3:

Step 1: i get my case from my cubby and go to the band room and sit in my

chair and open my case.

Step 4: after i put it together, i warm up and play!

{by Katee Holman}

with commitments to jobs, homework and other after school activities,

finding room for a band might be tough. four students were willing to accept the challenge.

the band, ken and the swizzles had been together for about five months.

“we got michael rocking lead vocals, Jacob l. shredding the lead guitar, Jacob k. plucking a mean bass guitar, and myself banging some drums,” david yen said.

The bands first gig was at michael and brandon muckley’s senior project at yes cinema.

“it went alright except we never had a practice where everyone was there so playing songs for the first time in our lives was interest-ing,” yen said. “every practice before only consisted of fractions of our band sine were are all so busy.”

The band classifies their genre as alterna-tive rock, the songs don’t always have a common message.

“we’ve covered around 15 songs so far,” michael allen said. “they don’t have any common theme about them. they’re just songs we like.”

although the band name is original, how-ever they got inspiration from the internet and a rubber duck.

“ken swizzles, our drum-line mascot, witnessed out first practice and we named our band after him,” Jacob logan said.

the band practices where ever they can find a place like Logan’s house and they have even snuck into the band room after school.

“we work out the problems in every song and then run through them,”

allen said. “it’s very laid-back.”the band would like to stay

together but with allen going to college next fall they are afraid they may face some problems.

“i have a feeling ken and the swizzles will have a reunion in

the future,” yen said. “however after michael graduates i don’t know if the

ken and the swizzles will remain together.”for now the band are continuing playing

as many shows as they can.“the key to being a good band is playing

together well,” kennedy said. “you can be good at your instrument but suck as a band if you don’t play together. you need to prac-tice and come up with a sound that every member can enjoy and connect to with.”
