Editors’ Box
T
he Pepperbox is back for round two! Although we promised ourselves we would never produce a 32-page newspaper again, the advertisements sold by Business Manager Hawken Ritter and the articles written by our incredible staff are just too good to cut. For our special election day issue, News Editor Anna Nordquist and Art Director Grace Lovell conducted a school wide census of various issues, from the best Presidential candidate to students’ preferred web browser. Graphic Designer Gabe Schneider created a visual representation of the results that is featured on our back cover. Reporters Geena Damian and Patrick Payton interviewed all 19 students eligible to vote (see pg 9). A special thank you to Paul Swenson for generously allowing us to reprint his photos of the AHS sports teams. Editors-in-Chief Elaine Cunha & Forrest Lewis

This issue’s cover was taken by Graphic Designer Gabe Schneider, with help from Editor-in-Chief Forrest Lewis and Business Manager Hawken Ritter. Featured are five key players of the undefeated AHS football team: quarterback Chad Blickenstaff (center), immediately to his sides are running backs Aleric Stone (left) and Tyler Kiel (right) and on the wings are offensive linemen Andrew Dehart (left) and Dustin Wallis (right). At the players’ feet is the Arcata High victory flag (see articles below).
From the Archives: The Arcata High Victory Flag Originally published October 6, 1961
Victory Flag Flies Again By Patrick Patyon The Arcata High victory flag is back. The old Arcata High victory flag was first hung on the week of September 18-22, 1961 after a 14-0 victory over the Del Norte High Warriors. The new flag will not be displayed on the flag pole due to limited space, but will be displayed in front of the school each time a sports team wins a game. Mr. Navarre is turning the flag over to the leadership class and letting them decide on how and when our new victory flag will be displayed. Mrs. Mauro and Mr. Navarre agreed on the design of the new victory flag. “I think it’s a good idea. Arcata high used to have a victory flag many years ago, and I think it’s a good idea to celebrate students’ accomplishments,” Mauro said.
