SPRING SPORTS

The Return, The Rivals, and The Road to State

By

As the winter chills fade, spring weather rolls in with eager athletes ready to play. Spring sports have officially begun and the charger athletes are putting in the work. Whether on the grass or rubber, lacrosse, soccer, and track and field are pulling in wins for Cor Jesu. Intense rivals are on the horizon, and the Chargers are ready to bring their A-game.

The Front Field

Lacrosse took a slow start with many rainouts. However, they began their season with a jamboree and triumphant wins over Kirkwood, Parkway West, and Eureka. Even with some obstructing construction, the lacrosse team has persevered with a slight detour along Gravois. Opposing teams may call it an eyesore, but the players prefer to say that it adds character. Today we have the lacrosse team captain and Rockhurst commit, Anna Loeffelman. She is here to share her opinions and outlook on the season. Anna shared, “I’m so excited for this season, we’ve all played together for a long time and I think the team chemistry is amazing. We are ready for anything this season and have a lot to prove.

I think we can go far this season and I can’t wait to see what’s in store!” The lacrosse team believes this is their season. Many of the girls have been playing on this team for the past three or four years and have been waiting for this opportunity. With the team chemistry at the apex, they will not go down without a fight. They have run and cradled to be their best selves, and now it is time to put it all out on the field. Time will tell just how far these girls will advance. It will be a tough season but definitely one to watch.

THE BACK FIELD

By Mame Slinkard ‘24 and Melanie Armbrecht ‘24 (continued)

Cor Jesu Soccer has started off strong this spring season. Our chargers have trained hard for this season with a laser focus on victory. In between pre-season workouts and scrimmages, these players continue to succeed on and off the field. Senior players have committed to colleges to further their soccer career from Cor Jesu for the next four years. Senior Keira Smyser (#8), Committed Division I to the University of Iowa says, “The soccer community here at CJ is really what keeps my love of the sport so strong. I am so grateful for my coaches and teammates for their constant support and pushing me to be the best player I can be.”

The strong sense of sisterhood on this team can be credited for their perseverance through the adversity of loss. Junior Sydney Ranson (#13) says, “We have some tough competition this year, like Nerinx, they’ve got a strong team and great players, but I know our team plays hard and shows respectful sportsmanship no matter the outcome.” This team’s outstanding morals on and off the field perfectly depict what it means to be a Cor Jesu student. These girls still have much of their season ahead of them, so show up, cheer your hardest, and support these girls in the hope of a ring this year.

IN AND AROUND THE FIELD

Maddie Fowler also places in the Discus and Shot put and is here to share her outlook on the season and what is to come. She said, “It has been going really well. As you all know, Oliva set two records, but right now we are just looking forward to districts, conferences, and getting to state. The throwers know their problems so once we become confident in those, districts and finals should not be a problem.” From her standpoint, it seems Cor Jesu’s field athletes are confident in their work. They have done what they needed to do and will continue to work in order to bring home a

Now they might not be on campus, but track and field have just as much to prove. Separate but mighty, the two programs train every day and have competitions throughout the week. The track team can be seen rallying in the laps at a nearby boy’s high school, Vianney. Most of the team has been racing together for a while, and they are also ready to pull in some wins. Junior Anna Meirink, a long-distance runner, has gladly shared her outlook for the season. She stated, “It will be a tough season, but we have a lot to prove and we will work hard for it.”

It seems this season could be challenging, but nothing a Charger track athlete could not handle. The girls are ready to see how fast they can run to bring some medals home. Back on campus, members of Cor Jesu’s field team can be found practicing in the gymnasium or working on strength training in the fitness center. More recently, junior Olivia Carpenter set a school record in the Discus and Shot put competitions. This will definitely be a tough one to beat, but the Chargers are always full of surprises.

These are two more seasons of Charger athletes you will not want to miss.

Junior Ring Bling

By Beth Anderson ‘24 and Sophia Mueller ‘24

The junior ring ceremony is a moment Chargers dream of when they enter Cor Jesu, and the 2023 gathering lived up to the high expectations this year’s junior class upheld. Walking into the gym, one would be shocked by the transformation. Even though it was rainy outside, the room was filled with light beaming through the windows, making the gym a joyous place to celebrate such a special event. When the junior class processed in, parents were seen taking pictures of their beautiful daughters. Dresses of every color and heels of different heights were modeled by the stunning ladies who were about to enter another part of Cor Jesu

history. The rings, with the gorgeous pearl backing and Sacred Heart, were presented in the middle of the floor for all to see. One could not help but stare at the gold and silver pieces that seemed to be declaring the eyes of the crowd.

After communion was gifted, it was time for the rings to be handed out. One by one the junior class was called upon to

receive their rings. Many tears and happy smiles were shown when the Alumnae mothers stepped up to give their daughters a ring they now share together. After the rings were given out and everyone was sparkling with excitement, the ceremony concluded. The juniors continued their special day into the evening, dancing and singing their hearts out at Andre’s West. The room was decorated with colored lights, photo opportunities, and temporary tattoos scattered across the tables. This dance created memories that the junior class of Cor Jesu will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Mattea Vest explains that her favorite memory of the dance was “whenever the Cha-Cha Slide came on and I Cha-Cha slid with Ms. Weigand.” Moments like these are what have bonded the junior class along with the teachers who attended.

This night was not only memorable for all, but particularly special for many members of the junior class. Mattea Vest explains that “this dance was important to me not only because it was my first dance of the year but it was special because it was only the junior class there.” Many juniors shared this special day celebrating with their families and alumni. Junior Sammy Hoelscher, adds, “The day was special for me because all of my sisters and aunts have come to Cor Jesu. It was special for my mom to place the ring on my finger because it is her last daughter at Cor Jesu. She started to tear up, and I knew in that moment all of my hard work has paid off.” The day of March 24, 2023, will remain in the Class of 2024’s hearts as one of the most special days which they got to spend with their highschool classmates.

NEPO SISTERS AT COR JESU

By Sophie Mikhail ‘24

What Exactly is a Nepo Baby?

A crash course on the increasingly popular and controversial term: nepo baby.

A nepo baby, short for nepotism baby, is the child of a famous person (or persons) who then enters into an industry and is usually met with success. They’ve most likely achieved this success with the help of their parents’ fame or connections. For example, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis’ daughter Lilly Rose Depp has found acting and modelling success at the young age of 23, and those who have deemed her a nepo baby are not denying her talent but rather acknowledging the help she has received from her parents. So, what about a nepo sister? Some of our most beloved Cor Jesu students and alumnae are older sisters who have passed down their wisdom to their younger sisters. These younger sisters are service-oriented leaders in the Cor Jesu community, including some of our NHS officers for the upcoming school year.

Maggie Hamel ‘24, and Tiffany Ly ‘24, next year’s NHS President and VP, have both learned from the experiences of their older sisters, Kate Hamel ‘22 and Melani Ly ‘22, who both held the role

of NHS President amongst other leadership positions. These sisters shared with me their experiences working with family and how they feel they’ve been influenced in the process.

“She saw firsthand what it was like to lead in those clubs when I did, so she felt confident to do it herself.”

Kate Hamel ‘22

“I want my sister to succeed in high school and in life so I always encourage her to join different activities at CJ, and I try to give her advice when I can. I can only talk to my experience at CJ, so when I talked about clubs to join and ways to get involved, it was always about things I was already involved with.” – Kate

Hamel ‘22

However, Tiffany explained, “I believe I would’ve participated in these clubs even if I didn’t have an older sibling.” They have various interests that sometimes overlap, but they have not over looked the value of supporting one another in the process of running for leadership positions and organizing events. Sometimes, it takes an outside perspective to see the potential a per son has, and this is what Melani did for Tiffany during 2023-2024 NHS Officer elections. Melani said, “I kind of forced Tiffany to run for NHS board. She didn’t think anyone would vote for her, but I told her that I thought that too when I ran. I’m the reason she ran.” Although they couldn’t quite come to a consensus on their feelings about the idea of “nepo sisters,” all four of these girls believe that they have gained something from their sister relationships at CJ.

Sisters Who Serve

Advice, motivation, and the keys to success

Cor Jesu’s chapter of the National Honors Society has had incredible leadership these past two years with the 2021-2022 President Kate Hamel and current President Melani Ly. As these leaders found their voices and created service opportunities for the Cor Jesu student body, they also learned invaluable lessons and skills. They then were able to give helpful advice to their younger sisters, who will be taking on the challenges of being NHS officers next school year. Maggie Hamel shared, “I think that because my sister held some of the same positions I did, I am able to look at her for an example of what to do. I don’t think that having a sister that was also NHS President makes me more qualified for the job, but it has helped me lead some of the events that NHS does.” Tiffany Ly has found there to be mutual gain in her relationship with her sister, stating, “Because both Melani and I have leadership positions, I sometimes ask Melani for leadership advice in certain situations, and sometimes she asks me for advice, too.” The pros to working with each other are not limited to NHS. Melani and Tiffany are both involved in Women of Color Club and Art Club, with Melani being president of both.

“Classic Comparison”: What’s Worth Your Time?

By Maggie Hamel ‘24

Ever since I entered middle school, I heard many different book titles that I simply “had” to read in order to have a sense of culture. Some adults seemed to think that if I never encountered these novels, my schooling had failed me. Because of this view, I decided to read a good portion of them, and I really enjoyed quite a few! But down the road, I discovered that some were not worth the hype they had received. Now these next few descriptions are meant in no way to discourage people from the love of literature! While I believe that some might not be worth fighting through, that is ultimately for the reader to decide. Remember to hold these opinions apprehensively, because it is really the personal experience of a person that decides whether or not they enjoy the message a book conveys.

I found that the novels “worth” the read were the ones able to communicate their message to me. The overarching theme was typically quite obvious, even through the complicated language of the time period they were written in. Take Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury for example. Written post-World War II, it covers the perils of censorship through the symbolism of a dystopian future in which a dictatorial government burns almost all literature.

It seems that this plotline might be hard to find relatability in; however, we see situations similar to this constantly with the banning of books like Maus in classrooms. Parents argue that it is a way to protect their children, but I see it as the erasure of history, which is exactly what the government wished to accomplish in the novel. So I wholeheartedly recommend Fahrenheit 451 as an interesting science fiction novel, as well as a warning to those who do not take the Anti-Intellectual movement as a serious issue.

Along with this book, I found A Separate Peace by John Knowles and Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger to both be profound stories of teenagers becoming adults and coping with the complex emotions that come with that. Catcher in the Rye, particularly, is a novel that I believe everyone should read before they turn eighteen. It recently has come under fire online because many readers say that Holden Caulfield, the main character, is problematic, and anyone that enjoys the novel is also so as a result. The issue I take with this opinion is that I believe it is perfectly acceptable to like this book for the right reasons. The character is extremely self-centered, but his dealings with guilt and depression are meaningful to read about because we can see the realistic struggle he has to face them.

designed by Maggie Hamel ‘24

He struggles to remember the details of events in his life because of this fight with his mind, and the language used is able to reach the readers dealing with similar struggles in a new way. I think that with proper analysis of this character and his psyche, it is beneficial to enjoy this book because of the clarity it can provide in one’s own life.

The books I didn’t enjoy might’ve had a similar message to communicate, but because I was unable to determine it, I did not enjoy the novel. The Stranger, by Albert Camus is one of those short novels that I figured I could finish in a few hours. But I found myself getting distracted and picking something else up each time I tried to read. When I finally finished the book, I found myself disappointed. The main character was a bland example of a man driven to a point of no return by a capitalistic society. He appeared to be completely unhurt after his mother’s death, which might have become an interesting deeper look at the character, but Camus never returned to analyze it. There was absolutely no character development. He remains the same, detached, contemptible person in the end of the novel, making it an extremely boring read.

My summation is this: if you would like to read a book about a character broken down by society like this man, there are much better options.

I had a similar viewpoint on Lolita, by Vladimir Nabokov. The novel left me feeling disgusted with society because of the main character. He calls himself “Humbert Humbert” and is writing from jail because of his crimes of assaulting a young girl. The novel uses flowery and poetic language to describe horrible acts, trying to distract the reader from the reality of what is happening. He is a persuasive narrator, which only amplifies the disgust one feels towards the book. I found that the book is much too revolting to have a point to prove at all. There are many other books that could illustrate how terrible these crimes are without romanticizing them in this way.

I had much less problems with The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, but I found the message to be more elementary than expected. One of the characters, Gatsby, is a very wealthy man who has extravagant parties with lots of friends. In the end, it is found that no one is there for him when it really matters, making a comment on high society. I understand that because of the time period it was written in, this message seemed to be of more importance, but I find that it becomes irrelevant now. People have been preaching that money and materialism will not make a person happy so much that it seems more out of touch than anything. In our society we need an income and essentials to survive. It’s not materialistic when someone is working to keep himself afloat. This should be looked at as more of a societal issue, rather than something one person should fix.

As stated before, I don’t mean to discourage reading in any way. I would just say that I would argue that not all classics should be necessary to read in order to be “cultured.” It is not worth the time trying to force oneself to finish a novel that is unbearable. Instead try to pick up a book like Catcher in the Rye, that can be enjoyed for not only its characters and plot but also the overarching message.

“Catcher in the Rye, particularly, is a novel that I think everyone should read before they turn eighteen.”

Undefeated Ukraine

An update on the situation between Russia/Ukraine, including first-hand stories

By Emma Gallardo ‘24

Most everybody in the United States is familiar with the conflict currently going on in Ukraine, but many of us have felt a decrease in reputable news coverage and social media discussions since the start of the invasion in February of 2022. So what is happening now, and how are we helping our ally overseas?

There has long been conflict between Russia and Ukraine, starting well before the recent conflicts and going back to 1991 when Ukraine achieved independence after the fall of the Soviet Union. Since then, Russia has been implementing election fraudulency and political intervention to try and annex Ukraine into Russia. In 2014, Crimea, a territory that was a subdivision of Ukraine, was illegally invaded by Russia and annexed illegally into their country. After this act, tensions were higher than ever surrounding connections between Ukraine, Russia, and the EU. Consequently, when Russian troops

were identified in large numbers on the Eastern border of Ukraine in 2021, international forces and Ukraine became skeptical of what ulterior motives the supposed “training exercises” possessed. The motivations became clear when on February 24, 2022, Russia invaded a pleading Ukraine and defied the requests of NATO, the EU, Ukraine, and all those across the world who wish for a peaceful world (Reuters). Since this consequential point, there has been incessant back and forth efforts from Ukraine towards Russia in reaction to the air raids, bombings, and invasions their country is facing. However, Ukraine is not alone in their efforts. It is obvious to the remaining sovereign countries that the situation is a dire one, and any support that is able to be provided should be considered necessary. With this ideology, 54 countries were able to come together to support and send aid to Ukraine in a coalition known as the Ukraine Defense Contact Group.

The will of the people of Ukraine is strong, and their conviction is stronger towards the liberation of their home.

Continued Support

The United States, countries within the EU, the United Kingdom, and Germany have been the most notable suppliers in terms of aid for Ukraine, with the most common support being in financial donation.However, all aid provided should be viewed as an act of courage and integrity to the respective countries simply because of the risk they are placing themselves in with giving support. Russia has long been a country the United States remains wary of, and the same can be said for similar countries across the world who do not wish to be devastated by the wrath of the Kremlin (Britannica). Arguably the most important effects of the

recently named “Russo-Ukrainian War” is that of the struggle of the people of Ukraine now that their country is under senseless attack. There have been over 20,000 Ukrainian casualties related to the war since its emergence, and the numbers are rising every day. Millions of Ukrainians, which could be more than 5.4 million, are becoming internally displaced because their homes are reduced to rubble, and there is no accessible place to flee towards. These numbers don’t include those who are now refugees in surrounding countries, which accounts for about 8 million Ukrainians out of 41 million. This is the largest and fastest forced mass fleeing of the century in Europe, and the statistics continue to rise concerning these issues (Rescue).

Being an international power with the financial capability to donate millions or dispatch armed forces is not the only way to provide support to Ukraine. An individual has the power to make a difference. The following are ways in which Ukraine is being supported by common people across the country:

Monetary donations to the Red Cross Ukraine Emergency Appeal

Earth Day

By: Abby Knox ‘24

For the last 52 years, April 22nd has been known as Earth Day in the United States. This day was brought about by Senator Gaylord Nelson also known as the father of Earth Day. Nelson was an environmentalist who helped with passing three Acts that all help protect our earth. The Acts protect trails, allow for national parks, and also protect rivers and streams in the United States. Earth Day has launched a whole new view on environmental activism over the last half century. When just one tree is planted, it can provide a day’s supply of oxygen for up to four people, and when a tree is planted, not only does it give off oxygen so we can breathe but it also reduces storm water runoff, which ultimately reduces erosion and pollution in our waterways. I am sure you have heard the phrase “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”, this is known as the three Rs of waste management, but what does that really mean and how do we go about it? When REDUCING, must cut back on the amount of trash and waste we generate, as well as reduce the amount of pollution we contribute to the atmosphere. One simple way to do this is to carpool with others when going somewhere.

Some great ways to REUSE include donating and buying from your local thrift store, (which is less expensive), bringing reusable bags to the grocery store instead of using the plastic bags that are there, and finally buying a reusable water bottle. This reduces the amount of plastic you would be using if you kept drinking via plastic water bottles.

The final and most prominent R in protecting the Earth is RECYCLING. Common items like corrugated cardboard, milk jug style containers, and aluminum and tin cans are just a few items that can be thrown into the recycling bin, but what happens after they are recycled? Cardboard items are recycled into paper bags, cereal boxes, tissue boxes and shoe boxes. Recycled plastic is made into plastic lumber for decking, buckets, storage tubs, and even stadium seats! When recycling tin or aluminum, you can take it to a recycling plant and may even be able to make a little money off the metal. One place I found is offering 75 cents per pound. Although that is not a lot of money, it does add up over time.

As this year’s Earth Day comes and goes, keep in mind the three R’s, REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE, and put them into practice. Remember that we only have 1 earth, 1 shot, so let’s make it last forever!

What You Should Know About The Willow Project

By Grace Oliver ‘25

On March 13, 2023, while many of us were enjoying our spring break, the Biden administration approved the contentious Willow Project. The Willow Project is a proposed oil-drilling project in Alaska created by ConocoPhillips, a Texas-based oil company, formed through a 2002 merger of Conoco and Phillips Petroleum Company.

Together, it has become the third largest publicly-traded oil company and the sixth largest internationally. ConocoPhillips has had its eyes on this share of land in Alaska since 2020, seeking to create five new oil pads. Then with the new Biden administration, this number was reduced to three oil pads, only reducing the amount of pursued oil produced

by ten percent. Environmentalists across the country were outraged by this project for a multitude of reasons. For starters, this project would release 9.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per year. This number is equivalent to adding two million gas-powered cars to the world.

In 2021, the International Energy Agency wrote a report stating that no new oil, gas, or coal projects

can be created to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The Willow Project goes directly against that, along with going against President Biden’s campaign promise of ending oil drilling on public American lands and waters. Activists across the country took to social media to stop this project, sending over a million letters opposing the project to the White House and getting more than three

million signatures on a Change.org petition to stop Willow. Despite this, the project was approved due to the fact that ConocoPhillips already has valid leases in Alaska, leaving them little legal room to deny or reduce the project. Environmentalist group EarthJustice says otherwise, stating that the environmental impact gave the administration grounds to deny the project. EarthJustice is now taking the administration and ConocoPhillips to court with the hopes to halt, and eventually cancel, Willow. Construction in Alaska must begin before the end of winter, which in Alaska, ends in April. The future of the Willow Project hangs in the balance, environmentalists hoping it tips, ConocoPhillips hoping it stands.

KEEPING UP WITH FASHION

By Ali Geminn ‘24

What does the world of fahsion look like right now for teens?

A hair accessory that has risen in popularity is the flower claw clip. These have been replacing regular claw clips. I personally wear and enjoy the “Tilly’s Full Tilt Floral Claw Clip.” I like this brand because they come in many colors including: pink, purple, blue, and a twotoned brown and white. These claw clips also hold hair for a long period of time without adjustment. I think that this is a great way to add more effortless flare to your hair.

Back, after a few years, rompers are popular again. I don’t normally wear rompers, but I have no regrets buying the “Free People Hot Shot Onesie”. I really like this romper because it’s versatile throughout the year. You can wear it almost every season depending on what you pair under it. You can wear a long sleeve under it during the winter or a short sleeve shirt during the summer. The material is super comfortable and flexible as well.

Jewelry has always been popular in the female wardrobe. But gold jewelry has made its way to the top. I wear lots of different gold jewelry like hoop earrings and rings, but the “Altar’d State Gold Jonna Necklace” has stood out to me the most. I think this necklace is a subtle way to add more to your outfit. It is high-quality and doesn’t change color over time. The necklace is very flattering on, and it can be dressed up or dressed down. You can stack this necklace with other necklaces without it looking too cluttered.

Cargo pants have come and gone, but right now they are in. Cargo pants can shape an entire outfit, especially if they are colored. The Tilly’s Full Tilt Low Rise Nylon Flight Cargo Pants come in many colors, including green, pink, royal blue, and black. I like wearing these cargo pants with solid color shirts like black and white because it makes them stand out. They are very light weight and stretchy. The waist is also adjustable.
