Over the last few years, Poway High has become the center for a paranormal controversy as members of the custodial staff claim to have had several supernatural experiences while working the late night shift. Although no member of the custodial staff was willing to comment on record, some say that one such paranormal entity haunts the football field after hours. “We call her The White Lady,” one member of the custodial staff said. Dressed in a long, flowing gown, The White Lady has been said to linger on the bleachers and wander onto the field, eluding any contact when approached. A second ghost has allegedly been spotted in the library. On the night of her sighting, the front door was locked when a janitor reportedly saw “a girl in a green shirt walking along the bookshelves.” Confused as to how she had gotten into the library, he asked her why she was there, following her, but by the time he had gotten close, she had already disappeared. No physical sightings have since been reported, but both janitors and librarians confirm that the library has experienced a fair share of suspicious instances. “Things move around a lot around here, and we often wonder as to the cause. I’d like to think it’s a ghost,” Librarian Katherine Powell said. Although not every member of the custodial staff believes in the supernatural happenings on campus, others are convinced of their truth. “If you choose to believe, that’s up to you. If you choose not to believe, it is up to you. It’s your decision,” one custodian said. Q: How do you stay stress- free during AP testing time?

The location was chosen by ASB Advisor Emily Petterson. “It has an amazing dance floor, and the atmosphere of the venue itself inside lends to an exciting evening,” Petterson said. This year’s theme is “A Moment in Time.” The event is being planned by Junior Class President Kenzie Brooks, and Vice President Hannah MacNeil. The venue is a museum, highlighting moments of sports history, relating to seniors reflecting on high school memories for one of their last events at Poway. “We wanted the theme to be related to the venue, but not completely about sports,” Brooks said. Three floors of the museum will be open, filled with food and fun attractions. The dance floor will be on the second floor complete with a disco ball. “Kenzie and I have been working very hard to make this Prom memorable and special, especially for seniors,” MacNeil said. Activities and attractions will include a Henna tattoo artist, photo booths, a casino, a cappuccino bar, and desserts. “This is a $28,000 event,” Brooks said. Expected profits will be $3,000 to $4,000 and will hopefully cover the class of 2012’s senior shirts. Tickets are on sale for $60 the week of May 2 and will increase to $65 the week of May 9. 2011 Prom: Hall of Champions On Wednesday April 13, the fire alarm sounded during lunch on the day club carnival occurred. What caused the fire alarm to go off was, at first, thought to have been popcorn but was then later discovered to be some sort of microwaveable dinner, said to be enchiladas, that was left in the microwave too long. Most students did not heed the alarm but stayed in line to get their food at club carnival. The preschoolers evacuated along with a handful of other students. However, the lack of action by the students was more than made up for by the expediency in which the administration reacted at the sound of the alarm. “I immediately radioed the switchboard here at the office to find out what it was all about,” Assistant Principal Peter McKee said. In accordance to school fire procedure, which involves lightning fast administrative action as well as student rationality, McKee completed step one of the three step evacuation process; step one being identifying if it is a real fire or not. In this both McKee and Principal Scott Fisher said that the fire alarm was “legit” but not an actual fire. Step two is getting students to a safe location such as the senior or junior parking lots or the football or baseball fields; not that students would have budged from their spots in line for club carnival food. The lack of reaction to the fire alarm may be attributed to most students being outside. “Our number one strategy is to get people out of buildings; I get bothered when there is a fire drill and people don’t get out of buildings,” Fisher said. Step three is determining where and what is on fire, which can be anything from “a truck on fire in the senior parking lot” as McKee put it, to charred microwavable enchiladas. This allows administration to determine where to direct students, but administration can’t do all the thinking. “[Students] have to make good decisions as well,” McKee said. This means that the school administration is not the only the sole decision maker when it comes to students’ safety, the students themselves must make rational safe decisions in case of a fire. Although the fire posed no threat to anyone, Fisher was glad that the fire alarms were working. THOMAS BAKER Staff Writer Microwave activates Senior Project Day MAY 20 Paranormal Poway?
