FOOD

Makin’ dough Instructions: Ingredients: 4 ½ cups flour (plus a little extra for sprinkling) 1 envelope (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast 2 ½ teaspoons salt 2 cups hot water 2 tablespoons cornmeal

Materials:

A large mixing bowl A wooden spoon Measuring cups Measuring spoons 1 large cookie sheet 1 oven safe pan

6

1. Sprouting the yeast: This step is crucial.

Some bakers suggest just mixing the yeast in with the rest of the ingredients, but this technique requires a longer rising time. Pour hot water in a bowl and pour the yeast in. Do not stir the yeast or move the bowl! Let it sit for about six to seven minutes. It will look a little gross: puffy, light brown clouds should form on the top of the water.

2. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Once the yeast is ready, pour it in and mix until the ingredients form a sticky dough.

3. Leave the dough in the bowl in a warm, draft-free place (a good place is the kitchen)— do not refrigerate—and let it rise for about four and a half hours or until the dough has doubled in size.

4. Now, with a spatula or your hands, fold the edges of the dough into the center of the bowl and press down. Some air should release.

5. Once you think all the air has been released, make the dough into a ball and sprinkle your workspace with flour. Place the dough directly

onto the flour and knead it into a rectangle.

6. Cut the rectangle lengthwise into four pieces. Roll each piece gently with your hands until it reaches the length you desire.

7. Put butter and a sprinkle of flour on a baking sheet.

8. Place the pieces onto the baking sheet, cover and let rise for about one hour.

9. Once the hour is up, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and sprinkle flour over the pieces. Cut several diagonal slits across the surface of each loaf with a serrated knife. Fill about half of an oven-safe pan with water and place in the oven (the steam will make the bread moist and chewy inside).

10. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes or until crispy and brown on the outside.

On a list of good places to eat in Palo Alto, Town and Country doesn’t rank. All the premier lunch locations unfortunately are out of walking range from Palo Alto High School. While not accessible by foot, these food gems of Palo Alto can be accessed by car. The following restaurants serve up food far more delicious than anything Town and Country has to offer and are sure to fulfill anyone’s 40 minutes of lunch.

Pho vi Hoa

Peninsula Creamery

Pho vi Hoa is famous among the more voracious eaters at Paly. Its charm is best summarized by senior Oren Carmelli, who hails it as “the chronic” and “the perfect lunch to go with my lunchtime activities.” Pho vi Hoa is located in the San Antonio Shopping Center. It should be noted that those crunched for time may find the trek here a bit long. It’s best to have a prep period or be prepared to be late if you plan on making the journey. However, the voyage to Pho vi Hoa yields some of the freshest and most scrumptious food in Palo Alto.

A regular bowl of pho costs about $7.00. Considering the amount of food you get, this is a steal. The broth is always flavorful, and Pho vi Hoa places free condiments on the table that will add even more flavor to your soup. Favorites are the P-4 ($6.85). Featuring beef-brisket, it’s simple yet filled with flavor, and P-1 ($6.85) where you can order raw meat on the side to cook in your soup. If you’re feeling adventurous, the P-13 (6.85), features some more interesting types of meat, like tripe.

Located just a few blocks away from Palo Alto High School, the Peninsula Creamery and Grill has been in operation since 1923. Serving up a wide array of all-American food, the Creamery serves up burgers, shakes and fries. However, the wide variety of ingredients and toppings make their sandwiches the best on their menu.

Spinach, chicken, mushrooms and swiss cheese combine to create the deliciousness known as The Popeye ($7.50). Biting into this savory combination of meat, cheese and vegetables instantly makes the visit to the Creamery worth it.

Those favoring something spicy may wish to order the New Chicken Sandwich ($7.50). Commended by Paly senior Brent Schroder for being the “best sandwich,” the New Chicken is a spicy concoction, featuring chicken, BBQ sauce, avocado, jalapeno and bacon on a hamburger bun. Eating the New Chicken Sandwich requires many napkins and some strong taste buds, but the spiciness and messiness is just part of the experience.

Ike’s

The Cheese Steak Shop

Again, a prep period may be necessary to make it to Ike’s and back in time for class. It is well worth your time to make the visit though, as Ike’s is famous for serving up some of the most delicious sandwiches in the Bay Area. It’s not the easiest place to find; you’ll have to delve deep into the heart of Stanford. There’s no sign outside indicating where it is either.

The Menage A Trois ($9.99) is their most famous sandwich.

BBQ sauce, chicken, honey mustard and swiss cheese tastes good when combined. The first bite will eliminate any worries about being late for class and replace them with complete ecstasy. This sensation is replicated in their other sandwiches as well.

The Matt Cain ($9.99) is another legendary sandwich. Featuring Ike’s Godfather Sauce, provolone cheese, roast beef, salami and turkey, it is sure to captivate the heart of any meat lover.

What makes Ike’s such a classic is their outstanding sauces, combined with tasty meats and fresh bread. One of the best sandwich places in the Bay Area, it’s worth making the trip to.

475 Via Ortega / 94305

Some make the journey to Panda Express. True champions make the journey to The Cheese Steak Shop. Located on the corner of El Camino and Cambridge, just across the street from Panda Express, The Cheese Steak Shop serves up many different forms of the Philadelphia classic.

The premium cheesesteaks are the best deal. A 10-inch specialty cheesesteak costs $7.29. These specialty cheesesteaks are outfitted with toppings ranging from spinach and mushroom to bacon. Ten inches of cheesesteak is more than enough to fill even the hungriest person. When combined with a drink, the combination of cheesesteak and beverage is a true feast. Only the hungriest should order a side of crunch curly fries ($1.79).

This resulting trifecta of cheesesteak, drink and fries is sure to result in a happy stomach.

An intelligent customer will call in their order, as The Cheese Steak Shop often attracts quite the crowd during lunch hours.

Be sure to grab plenty of napkins on the way, because it’s gonna get messy.

STYLE

Cute socks, happy feet

Text By Perri Pond Photos Riya Varma, Rachel Wilson According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, socks are merely “a knitted or woven covering for the foot usually worn under shoes.” However, here in the style section of C Mag we like to take the average clothing item and exploit it, creating the next trending sensation.

We define socks as a creative expression of wearable art. They should not be just be the things that keep your feet warm, rather stylish pieces of cotton that can spruce up your look anytime, anywhere.

Especially with the recent brisk days, we know that the only thing worse than getting out of bed is trying to piece a cute outfit together. But with socks, this predicament is easily solved!

Just throw on a jazzy pair of socks and voila! a boring outfit—no offense)—turns into a fun, personality-filled ensemble.

From funky patterns to the basic essentials and cozy comfort, we have mapped out your sock drawer.

sock shops Here is a list of some great places to buy socks.

Whether it is wool, patterned, or for comfort each of these stores offer a wide variety of socks that are sure to keep your toes toasty and fashionable!

The Clothes Make the Man...

Text and Photo by Matt Morton

A quick look at the clothes that adorn Palo Alto High School students offers a dizzying array of hundreds of vibrant colors, unique patterns, different cuts and varying materials—on the girls. But what about the other half of Paly? Here, we delve into how Paly’s male population decides to dress, and get some great fashion tips in the process.

... Classy

Seniors Oren Carmeli, Brian Berry, Himmat Singh and sophomore Ashil Koranne keep their wardrobe crisp, clean and coordinated.

“You gotta stay classy,” Carmeli said.

“Wear a nice shirt that accentuates the [chest]­—you want everyone to know how big your pecs are. You gotta wear some nice fitting jeans, so it doesn’t seem like you’re trying to show off your ass, but you can still shake what you’ve got back there.

And you gotta coordinate those colors and patterns, but keep it subtle.”

Berry agrees with Carmeli, and adds his own tip.

“It’s important to make sure your pants really accentuate your figure in the general waist-to-thigh area,” Berry said.

“And you should wear straw hats as often as you can.”

Singh dresses according to his own unique style.

“It’s getting pretty cold, so I wear what looks good, and it’s gotta be warm and comfortable,” Singh said. “Then I gotta match my turban with my shirt or jacket, and maybe my shoes too, so I’ve got a nice general color scheme going.”

Koranne adds a caution about color coordination, though.

“Don’t have all your clothes match, it’ll look really [bad],” Koranne said.

... Lazy

The vast majority of male Paly students dress purely according to convenience. Many men share Junior Andrew Watson and freshman James Wang’s fashion sense, one both eclectic and erratic, and rarely seen outside of Parisian runways.

Watson sums up the men’s shared sentiments with a concise statement.

“I wear whatever’s come out of the laundry,” Watson said.

Wang abides by strict criteria when selecting clothes.

“I just wear whatever’s clean, I guess,” Wang said.

... Comfortable

Senior Alan Lamarque and junior Koloti Mataele decide to opt for a more loose-fitting and warm winter wardrobe.

“You gotta bust out the hoodies, because it’s cold out here and being comfortable is the most important thing,” Lamarque said. “Also, people judge you too much if you wear a nice shirt. Button down shirts can actually be way more comfortable than a normal t-shirt, too.”

Mataeli chooses to be as comfortable as possible.

“I just slap on what I’ve got,” Mataeli said. “Ususally it’s sweatpants or jeans and a jacket, [because] it’s comfortable.”

...Unique

Senior Brent Schroder uses his clothes to tell the world who he is.

“My style usually complements the weather outside, as well as my mood on the inside,” Schroder said. “That’s why I wear layers. As it gets warmer, I can open up my inner self as I shed layers. [During the winter,] I wear dark [colors] outside layers, to reflect the darkness of this dark season, for instance, a black jacket with some blue accents. Now, underneath, on the inside, you gotta reveal your brighter self. You know, throw in some jazz into that outfit, like a bright green backpack that doesn’t go with anything.”

Junior Parker Devine makes good use of thrift stores when he picks out his winter wardrobe.

“I usually try to dress warmly for the winter,” Devine said. “So I wear whatever I can find at Goodwill.”

No matter how you choose to dress, junior Brian Kannappan sums up Paly men’s fashion decisions well.

“Really, you can dress however you want,” Kannappan said. “In the end, it’s all up to personal taste. Fashion is really just what the people around you are wearing, so if you want to dress differently, go ahead.”

COVER STORY

JAMES BOND the evolution of james bond

by eric wang

5

Year

Who doesn’t know the name: Bond, James Bond. He’s saved the world 23 times, seduced dozens of babes and disposed of even more villainous henchman. This year’s entry, Skyfall, marks the 50th anniversary of the first Bond appearance, Dr. No. That’s a lot of shaken martinis, cool gadgets and cheesy action sequences. Here’s a timeline of Bond through the years.

The Beginning British author Ian Fleming first started writing about 007 in 1952, when he published Casino Royale.

In total, he wrote 14 books and nine short stories featuring the secret agent. He died in 1964, having lived to see the first two Bond films.

Roger Moore

1973-1985 A lethal goofball who somehow manages to crack jokes in the face of danger, Moore’s Bond is quite comedic. Despite clownish antics like fighting in space, his movies Live and Let Die, The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy and A View to a Kill are all tremendously entertaining.

Sean Connery

1962-1967, 1971 The original, “classic” James Bond is a suave man of elegance, a charming yet dangerous player who oozes class while fighting off danger. Connery is considered the best Bond, portraying him in Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever.

The Crazies George Lazenby

1969 George Lazenby portrayed a physically stronger and more aggressive Bond. However, critical reaction to his performance in his one Bond film, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, was so bad that he quit and Connery returned for one last movie.

Drax

Zorin

Connery and the classic Aston Martin Bond car that made a cameo in Skyfall

In addition to silly plots, Moore had the craziest villains. In Moonraker, snobby Sir Hugo Drax plans on killing off the planet with a deadly virus while taking a select few into space. Nazi test-tube baby Max Zorin (played perfectly by Christopher Walken) in A View to a Kill is willing to kill his own henchmen to achieve his dream of starting an earthquake in Silicon Valley in order to gain a monopoly on the microchip industry.

s of Bond Moore’s Lotus in The Spy Who Loved Me also doubles as a submarine

The latest installment, Skyfall, is the highest grossing Bond flick of all time

Onatopp

The Girls Timothy Dalton

1987-1989 Dalton’s 007 is more serious and hardedged, ruthlessly taking out the villains.

Despite only appearing in two features, The Living Daylights and License to Kill, Dalton is credited with being the most similar to the novel version of the character—a coldblooded killer.

Known for their beauty and absurd names, Bond girls serve as both eye candy for the viewers as well as love interests for 007. Most of the time, the women in the films are merely damsels in distress, screaming and running around while Bond saves them from peril. However, some, like Xenia Onnatop from Goldeneye are vicious and dangerous opponents of Bond himself. Other notable Bond girls include Pussy Galore from Goldfinger and Honey Ryder from Dr. No.

Pierce Brosnan

1995-2002

Emulating Dalton and Moore, Brosnan combined rugged capability with comic relief.

Brosnan’s stunts were more extreme and the gadgets more high-tech. He stars in four Bond films: Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day.

Daniel Craig

2006-2012 In an attempt to stay relevant to modern audiences, Craig’s Bond is more realistic and serious, being more physically imposing and less prone to verbal quips. Craig stars in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace and Skyfall.

Artist of the Month: Palo Alto High School is filled with dozens of amazing artists. One of these is senior Alisa Glenn. Glenn has only been involved with art since her freshmen year however, she was quickly intrigued by drawing, painting and the unlimited possibilities within the art department at Paly.

During her freshman year, Glenn was signed up to be in a foods class, but accidently was placed into Art Spectrum.

She was not thrilled about her schedule mishap, but little did she know that this art class would help shape the rest of her high school career.

“They stuck me in art and I was really angry,” Glenn said. “But then I liked it, and I’ve been taking it ever since.”

Despite her rocky start at art, it soon became a focal point in her life. In fact, Glenn recently began her art portfolio for college. Creating a portfolio is an interesting yet time consuming process. “[An art portfolio] around 30 pieces, and it’s a lot,” Glenn said. “To get into an art college you need either an art supplement or an art portfolio which is usually about 15 to 20 pieces. Sometimes 25.”

It is important to have a theme within your 15 to 25 pieces. Colleges often look for a theme in one’s art portfolio, some even argue that the theme is almost more important than the actual material.

Glenn has chosen a personal theme for her portfolio—her 13-year-old sister.

“I’m doing [my portfolio on] my sister because she has Down syndrome, [and]

16

CULTURE

Alisa Glenn

she’s had a pretty significant effect on my life,” Glenn said.

Glenn also gets inspiration for her art pieces from her former and current classmates. It is interesting for her to see other students’ perspectives and styles.

“Last year it was cool having the [Advanced Placement students] work with us so we could see what they were doing,” Glenn said.

Glenn loves to paint, sketch, draw with pen or with colored pencils. One of the pictures shown on the right is drawn completely with black pen which is simply amazing.

One of her favorite pieces in her art portfolio is one of the many she did on her sister, using many techniques including drawing and collage. It is a portrait of her sister, accompanied by childhood memories that they shared together.

“In some ways she’s very difficult to be around but she’s also very sweet,” Glenn said. “[For example,] I come home and she wants to give me a hug and tell me how her day was instead of just hiding in her room.”

Glenn explains how her sister functions at a low level for a Down syndrome patient. Even though she is technically 13 years old, she still behaves like a five year old. Doctors say she will not get much better than she is right now, and her development is permanently stunted. “[Some people with Down syndrome] can have jobs and go to school—but my sister functions like a five year old and

they don’t think she’s [going to improve much] as she gets older,” Glenn said.

Despite the circumstances, her sister’s special needs have inspired Glenn’s art, and living with her has changed Glenn’s overall perspective on life.

“I’ve definitely become more patient and I think that’s helped with art,” Glenn said.

Glenn has officially decided to continue art in college. She is applying to several art colleges around the country, including MICA (the Maryland Art Institute) and the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.

In addition to Glenn’s school artwork, she volunteers at an art studio off of California Avenue called Artful Beings. The main focus of Artful Beings is teaching art to children with special needs but also those without. Glenn likes the feeling of teaching other people something with which she is very comfortable.

“It’s really exciting,” Glenn said. “I’ve been doing art with my sister for a long time, but it’s a different experience when it’s not a family member.”

Glenn welcomed help and inspiration to get where she is today, but there is no doubt that she is a natural at what she does. Although Glenn accidentally fell into Paly’s Art Spectrum class during her freshman year, she has learned to create incredible pieces and is ready for a future in art.

Blast from the Past

Text and photos by Samantha Newell

I

n today’s pop culture, violence and rough humor is thrust upon us in movies and television all the time.

Today’s movie theaters are simply not as comforting and family-oriented as old-time movie theaters were during the 1920s. This is mainly due to the fact that blood, gore, sex and unconventional humor seems to be the underlying plot behind every recent movie, meaning families of all ages are not able to indulge in the same comforting movie-going experience as families before.

Unlike modern movie theaters, the Stanford Theater, located in the heart of downtown Palo Alto, has a mission: to bring back the classic 1920s.

The Stanford Theater’s purpose is to promote the authentic movie-going experience of Hollywood’s Golden Age: popcorn, candy and the idea of family time is the backbone of this 1920s-era theater.

“Classic Hollywood directors never intended you to watch their pictures on a video screen in your living room,” the Stanford Theater website said. “The magic of the movies depends on a largerthan-life image and the shared reactions of a large audience.”

The Stanford Theater opened in 1925 as the primary place for Palo Altans to enjoy a movie. Moviegoers from across town came to enjoy all that the Stanford Theater had to offer.

Unlike today’s contemporary movie theaters, the Stanford Theater was designed during a time period where large architecture and bold colors were the norm. Inside, the ceiling is covered with designs and patterns of gold, red, green and blue, and is decorated with large chandeliers.

The classic red velvet drapes cover the silver screen, while the wooden organ rises from below, playing music from the 1900s before each movie begins. Two clusters of golden columns and statues cover the walls, and the comfortable chairs that mold to the shape of your body were made for enjoying a long film.

The Stanford Theater located Downtown Palo Alto shows a range of movies dated back to the 1920s to 1950s.

In 1987, after a Fred Astaire Film Festival, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation bought the theater in order to save it from its impending closure. They then restored it to its original condition, drawing people from all around to watch old Hollywood classics.

Recently, the Stanford Theater added a gallery branching off from the lobby,

displaying movie posters and other items dating back to the 1920s.

The Stanford Theater is a place of warmth and comfort—a breath of fresh air compared to what we may find today in movie theaters, making it an experience definitely worth checking out. For movie times, visit http://www.stanfordtheatre.org.
