E C H O ISSUE THREE: SUMMER
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: ECHO has always been a large part of my life, and as I look back on the time I spent writing for this paper, I cannot help feeling a little nostalgic, and of course, a little sad. Particular highlights include spending the whole week before the paper’s release in the computer lab, scrambling to get the paper out on time, releasing a sigh of relief when we somehow did it, running out into the pouring rain to take hasty pictures for articles, complaining about the old style guide, and (of course) scrapping it and making a new one. This year, I wanted to provide a new aesthetic to breathe life into the newspaper--and the miracle that is Kaylah Bozkurtian could not have come at a better time. The new formatting changes implemented are in large part due to her superior skills with temperamental computer programs, as well as the increased dedication and drive by every single writer on staff to write better, more relevant, more timely articles with precision and love. It is with great sadness that I say goodbye to the Garden City ECHO, but I also do it with great security, since I know that I am leaving it in good hands. I would like to thank Ms. Skolnik, who showed me a great passion for writing and helped us all navigate through the narrow strait that is the art of journalism. I would also like to thank you, the readers, for supporting the ECHO and taking the time to read the work that we put our hearts and souls into. Congratulations to the staff of ECHO on an amazing job this year and in the future! I could not be more proud. Sincerely, Michael Snyder, Editor-in-Chief

COLLIER CURRAN: A
BY MICHAE
Collier (KAH-lee-ur) is not the most common name--nor is Saoirse (SIRSH-uh). This is only fitting, since Collier Curran and her fictional mermaid protagonist both share an uncommon knack for helping others, not to mention glasses, blond hair, and purple streaks. Collier Curran currently holds the Ambassador Girl Scout position, the highest rank in the long chain of command in Girl Scouts. Curran has just achieved the most prestigious honor in Girl Scouts--the Girl Scout Gold Award--by means of her own children’s story, Saoirse and the Magic Castle. To complete the project, Curran had to put in a minimum of 80 hours on a project related to an issue important to her in order to make an impact in the community. According to Curran, “Only 5% of eligible Girl Scouts complete the award, which shows just how much goes into it.” Curran picked “bullying among kids,” a problem she “definitely wanted to address.” Once she got past the slight roadblock of thinking of a concrete idea, it was not challenging for Curran to meet the requirements. “Once I began planning, writing, illustrating, and figuring out the publishing process, I was well above what I need-
ed,” Curran said. This is clearly evident, as Curran ended up contributing 101.5 hours to the project, surpassing the minimum requirement by 21.5 hours. In general, Curran likes to plan her creative writing process, which was especially true for this project. This story was completely different from other writing Curran had done in the past, which had never been in the children’s genre or illustrated. She knew that she wanted to write about a character who was shunned for being different, but was later accepted. She chose mermaids because of her childhood fascination with them, and because “they symbolize being unique, but in a positive way, which is really what [she] wanted to achieve with [her] characters.” While Curran took “quite a while brainstorming ideas… and what exactly [she] wanted to accomplish through it,” the biggest challenge for her was undoubtedly the illustration. “While I am artistically inclined to some extent,” Curran said, “writing comes more naturally than illustrating.” Although she finished writing within the first week of her planning, illustrating took her “3 or 4 times that amount.” Curran explained her illustration process: “I had to go incredibly slowly to make

he Castle, illustrated by Collier herself. painting what I drew, and outlined in black for emphasis… I had no idea illustrating would challenge me as much as it did, but it was a challenge I enjoyed so I’m glad I took it on.” Curran said that, despite the immense amount of work that went into this facet of the project, it was “definitely worth it with how it came out.” Because Curran wanted the
book to be non-profit, she faced challenges with finding a way to publish the book. After researching the topic intensely, Curran independently obtained an ISBN number, a barcode, and registered Saoirse and the Magic Castle with the Library of Congress. The question I asked Curran: “Summarize your story.” Her response: “Okay, so it was a rainy Monday night at Winthrop Hospital in December of 1997 and my mom… Oh, you meant my story, not my story. Gotcha.” Snark aside, Curran continued to synopsize her story: “My book is about a mermaid named Saoirse who is different from all the other mermaids in her castle. She has a rainbow tail, glasses, and acts differently from everyone else. When the mermaids make a commercial to attract divers to their castle, they send Saoirse away because they don’t want her to be a part of it. In her travels, she meets a friendly diver who is captivated by her unique appearance, and she leads him and all of his friends to her castle, where they have a huge crowd and a ton of business. It turns out that Saoirse’s differences improve the lives of everyone in the castle, so they end up appreciating her. It’s a
cute story.” Saoirse was not only appreciated by everyone at the castle, but also by the first graders at Collier Curran’s church. While she loved seeing the illustrations come together, Curran’s favorite part of the project was reading her story to children and seeing them “enjoy the book and relate to Saoirse as a character.” Curran, self-described as “creative, conscientious, and trustworthy,” is involved in an absurd number of activities through the school. A lover of writing, Curran is editor-in-chief of Inkspots, one of the highlights of her high school career. She also serves as president of the Spanish Honor Society and president of the FBLA, through which she has participated in many competitions such as Public Speaking, Graphic Design, and Business Math. Curran is a member of the National Honor Society, Math Team, El Ateneo, and Literary Circle. And of course, Curran has dedicated much time to volunteering at her church. Besides reading her story, she has also taught Religious Education to third graders at St. Josephs for four years. Curran is an incoming freshman to Dartmouth College’s class of 2020.
REFLECTIONS OF REFLECTIONS OF

With her strikingly realistic detail, only Julia Kammer can make a drawing of utensils eye-catching. With her staple of vivid colors and life-like subject matters, Kammer’s art has the power to make a viewer’s jaw literally drop. Although her art looks effortlessly perfected, what many do not know is that kammer spends countless hours working on and refining her art. But the most impressive thing about Kammer’s art is that she has never taken a lesson in her life. Growing up, Kammer was surrounded by art. Kammer’s mother, an artist herself, educated her daughter with drawings and paintings; this opened Kammer’s eyes to the world of art and creativity. Throughout her childhood, Kammer was intrigued by her mother’s Mary Poppins-like box, full of never-ending art supplies and tools. Kammer and her mom would even draw together; for Kammer, “that’s where it all began.” Art came naturally to Kammer, but she only pursued it as a hob-
by, not thinking it could lead to something more. That all changed when Kammer enrolled in Mr. Uttendorfer’s AP Art class. The two period AP Art class, requiring 24 quality pieces in less than 36 weeks, is one of the most demanding classes Garden City High School offers. For Julia Kammer, this productive pressure honed her skills and amplified her passion for the fine arts. Describing it as “challenging, exhausting, and overall amazing”, Kammer believes that AP art is what got her “hooked” on art. During the year, Kammer choose the concentration of reflections for her portfolio. Her ability to manipulate colored pencils helped Kammer successfully capture the shine on the reflective objects. Kammer primarily uses colored pencils and sees them as her favored medium because of “that waxy, shiny texture they have on paper.” Along with her studio art skills, Kammer is also an accomplished photographer under Mr. Karp’s teachings. Graphic design, which is a component
Above: a piece in Julia’s of the photography curriculum, also interests Kammer. With a knack for drawing, design and photography, Julia Kammer is a layered artist. All of Kammer and her classmates’ hard work payed off in April when their art was displayed at the AP art show. With a great turnout, the show

s AP art concentration. was very rewarding. Throughout the year, Kammer’s work was also exhibited in several galleries and shows because of opportunities AP Art provides. To students planning on taking AP Art next year, Kammer advises that they use their time efficiently because “time management is key.” However,
despite the stress of the class, in the end “everyone definitely improves.” Kammer also believes that after spending two periods a day with her fellow classmates day after day, they have become a second family to her. Looking back, Kammer considers the class worthwhile because of how much she has grown through it. Kammer sums AP Art up by saying “the more you put into the class, the more you get out of it.” Kammer considers her mother to be her foremost inspiration. Without her mother, Kammer believes she would not have the skills nor the drive that she has today. Kammer also accredits her success and improvement to her teachers, Mr. Uttendorfer and Mr. Karp; she believes both art teachers helped her grow as an artist and as an individual. Kammer has enormous reverence for both teachers and values their “endless support, help, advice, and acting like a friend.” The teachers also hold Kammer in high esteem; both Mr. Uttendorfer and Mr. Karp believe
Julia Kammer is an exceptional artist with the capability to do incredible things. Mr. Uttendorfer has even described Kammer as an “outstanding artist who has really discovered her own visual voice over the last year.” “She has developed a great amount of skill in a short amount of time,” Uttendorfer said. “Julia is the type of student that has a bright future in the arts due to her talent and dedication.” Kammer’s artistic journey does not end with AP Art; this fall, Kammer will be attending Pratt Institute, an art school in Brooklyn. Planning on studying industrial design, she looks forward to the new challenges that lie ahead. Although Garden City High School is losing a great artist, student, and friend, we look forward to seeing what Julia Kammer does next in her artistic career.

Students of GCHS’s own AP Studio Art class recently debuted some of their impressive works. Here are some quick highlights: 1. Morgan Herrmann: “My concentration is about exploring the elements of character design and combining traditional art with a comic book style.” 2. Antoinette Nicholas: “My concentration revolves around the idea of genuinely and unapologetically capturing a person with a portrait. As adolescents in high school, students are defined by numbers and figures but sometimes students forget that they are individual people. I strived to capture myself and fellow students in raw form.” 3. Meredith McLaughlin: “My concentration was a 2d design portfolio focused on the exploration of design within a comic book page. I wanted to create an aesthetically pleasing page through the manipulation of panels, as well as create a cohesive story.” 4. Breanne Naegele: “I focused on what the heart physically and emotionally means to me. By using this theme I was able to create pieces that revolved around the shape and design of the heart, as well as evoking emotions that are associated with phrases involving the heart.” 5. Mary Vivian Schott: “My concentration is abstract architecture. I photographed different structures to form abstractions. I used light to create detailed abstractions.” 6. Olivia Guarnieri: “My concentration is mainly a collection of scenes I have been or would like to go to. The cat in every piece is a representation of me and my quiet observance of the life around me.” 7. Mary Blume: “My concentration was portraits of Lolita fashion. Lolita fashion is a Japanese fashion started as a mixture of baroque Era European fashion and retro American fashion.” 8. Julia Kammer: “I chose reflections because I easily found reflections everywhere I went. My technical ability with colored pencils allowed me to produce the shine that reflections give off.” (See Student Spotlight section for image.)
AP EXAMS: PASS OR FAIL? By the time students leave GCHS, most of them have endured at least one AP class and its corresponding exam at the year’s end. Seeing how common these exams were among our student body, I decided to interview teachers and survey students throughout the school to see their personal opinions on the topic. Although many students responded with various frustrations regarding the exams, the general consensus at the end of my informal study was that the AP exams are fair tests that provide a good evaluation of a student’s knowledge. When surveying students, I asked three questions, the first being, “What do you like about APs? Or dislike?” Students generally liked that APs prepare you for future college courses and may even excuse you from certain classes in your college career. However, there were many negative remarks regarding the timing of the exams. One student stated, “They prepare you for college courses; however, they at times can be overwhelming in short time spans. It is not the difficulty of the material but rather the time.” Another student noted that having them all in May coinciding with other school work can be difficult. Also, during the AP weeks, very little gets done in classes as many students are out. Lastly, many students disliked the fact that teachers are more likely to teach towards the test rather than simply the information necessary for problem solving and for a future education. My second survey question for students was whether or
By Julia Foxen
not students wished to see any changes to future AP exams. Many surprisingly responded saying that the exams should be harder and more like those seen at the end of a college course in order to see if they were truly prepared. Ultimately, when asked if they believed the exam was generally a fair test, 14 out of the 15 students involved said yes. The teachers I interviewed surprisingly had similar responses regarding their thoughts on the AP exams, saying that it was a fair test with difficult timing. One teacher states, “Testing should not be about how fast a student can go, but how much knowledge the student has.” Another teacher thought that far too many people take far too many APs. He thought this trend led to colleges not accepting the AP credit, as they knew that the high school AP course was not lining up with the actual college course. Therefore, although it is good for students to challenge themselves with higher level courses, the APs should be careful not to direct their tests toward the high schoolers, but rather to stay on track with the college course they are supposed to be following. In the end, no test is perfect. Every test has its benefits and drawbacks, even the AP exam. Next time you take an AP exam at the end of the year, try to remember that it doesn’t matter what score you get, but rather if you understand the knowledge at hand and tried your best.
NYSSMA at GCHS by Mina Woo Garden City High School hosted well over a thousand students from the region at the annual NYSSMA festival on April 12th and 13th. During these two days, you might have noticed desks placed outside the classrooms and frenzied kids clutching their instrument cases after school. The NYSSMA Solo Festival is a music event in which students perform a piece of prepared music for evaluation by a professional music educator. NYSSMA is an opportunity for students to perform at their level of ability, alone and outside of regular school concerts. Students benefit from the challenge that NYSSMA Solo Festival offers and allows a high scoring
student to be eligible for NMEA All County participation. During these days, all GCHS students in Tri-M Honor Society volunteered approximately seven hours of their time, helping to ensure the smooth success of the festival. Each Tri-M student had specific instructions for his or her crucial role in the festival. GCHS students were assigned to classrooms to fill out forms, to the library to organize the forms by school district, to entrances to act as guides, and around the building to collect completed NYSSMA forms. Mr. Mayo advised students to evade any overly inquisitive music instructors, stating: “If someone asks to look [at
the forms], just walk briskly away. I am confident that you can outrun most music teachers.” In a letter from principal Mrs. McLaughlin to the Tri-M students, she states that there were several comments from the NYSSMA judges and administrator on the politeness and helpfulness of the students. She continues, “As I walked through the halls during the festival, I was very impressed at how smoothly the program ran thanks in large part to your professionalism.” NYSSMA never takes place without at least a few hiccups, making the successfully coordinated festival at Garden City an especially impressive feat.
TURNING BACK TIME FOR LITERATURE By Michael cuomo English freshmen took a step back in time as Odysseus, the great King of Ithaca, came to visit our English classroom on Friday, December 18, 2015. It was an exciting spectacle to behold. The man--the Greek legend himself--visited the class and stirred up a great deal of excitement. Preparation began one week before. While we were studying the ancient Greek epic, The Odyssey, with Ms. Slater, we were informed that Odysseus would appear in a séance to answer any questions we had
about him and the stories surrounding his return from the Trojan War. Our homework assignment was to create questions to ask our visitor so we were prepared when the mighty warrior entered. Posing as the king of Ithaca, and dressed in an ancient toga, Dr. Michael Stratis, a member of our GCHS Social Studies department, made this trip back in time possible. We swarmed the monarch like months to a flame in order to take pictures with him. After all photos were taken, Odysseus sat down and
held court while granting a royal audience. We each had a chance to speak to the king and ask questions about his life and Greek history. Later in our reading of the epic, as Odysseus defended his kingdom and slaughtered 188 suitors with his archery skills, Ms. Slater invited physical education teacher, Mr. Ray Chaputian, to join us to demonstrate how to use a bow and arrow. Having these teachers visit was exciting and added an element of reality to our studies.
MAKING HISTORY: THE PENN TRIO Making History
BY BREANNE NAEGELE
Garden City High School has always been a hotbed of intellectual activity (perhaps illustrated by the fact that last year it achieved the rank of number one public high school on Long Island), and this year’s senior class is certainly no exception. For the first time in the high school’s history, seniors Morgan Hermann and Hannah McDonald will be co-valedictorians, along with salutatorian Elizabeth Rieger. In addition to being exceptionally bright, Morgan, Hannah and Elizabeth are all well-rounded students and highly respected among their peers and faculty. Morgan Hermann is an exceptional artist and works on a project called Comic Connection which promotes literacy through comic books for kids. Next year, she will be attending the University of Pennsylvania and is planning to major in biomedical engineering or digital media design engineering. Morgan felt that UPenn was the right choice for her because she loved the warmth of the community and the flexibility of the programs that would allow her to combine her interests of science, art and business. She describes herself as creative, artistic and focused; her hobbies include cosplaying, writing and video editing. Morgan attributes her success to the guidance of her parents along with creativity and a generally positive out-
look. The most important lesson Morgan has learned from her high school experience is to be open to the ideas and viewpoints of others and to work towards something endlessly if you want it to happen. Hannah McDonald is also planning to attend the University of Pennsylvania and is undecided on a major. Hannah felt UPenn was the right school for her because she liked the area around the school and that it provides her with many options when choosing a major. She likes to play soccer, run track, listen to music, and read; her favorite subjects are Chemistry and English. Hannah said she would describe herself as poised, social and hardworking. Although Hannah says that she contributes a lot of her success to her hard work ethic, she says that she would be nowhere without the support of her parents. The most important lesson Hannah has learned from her high school career is that there needs to be a balance between school and a life outside of school. Even though school is very important, having a life outside the classroom is just as, if not even more, important. Elizabeth Rieger has made tremendous strides in science that have earned her the honor of becoming a semifinalist for the Intel Science award. She too will be attending the University of Pennsylvania and is
planning to major in bioengineering. During her downtime Elizabeth likes to read, run and watch television. Her favorite subject is science and she has a particular interest in Chemistry and Physics. Elizabeth would describe herself as hard working, friendly and nice. She attributes her success to her teachers and her parents because they have always supported her and driven her to do well in school. Her accomplishments in Science Research have shaped her the most because research has helped her realize that she wants to study science in college and have a career in that field. The greatest lesson Elizabeth has learned from high school is to try new things, work hard and do what she enjoys. When asked about Morgan and Hannah being co-valedictorians, Principal Nanine McLaughlin said, “I believe that this is the first time in Garden City history that this has ever happened. I am so thrilled that this honor was able to be shared with two such fine young ladies. When I retire this will probably be one of the highlights of my career.” The valedictorians and salutatorian of this year epitomize the very idea of brilliance. Each has their own unique talents and all have a multitude of capabilities. It looks like we can expect great things from this Penn trio.
Wearing THE Heart (To Heart) on our sleeves By: Katelyn Focella On Saturday, May 21, the Heart to Heart Club took a trip to a shelter in Deer Park. The shelter is a satellite of the Madonna Heights Service Organization in Dix Hills, an organization that the club has been involved with for many years. In preparation for the trip, the club held a book and board game drive, collecting a wide range of donations. At the Deer Park house, the club, led by Ms. Regis and Ms. Skolnik, painted a children’s playroom, set up bookcases, and displayed their collected books. At the end of the seven hour day, the Heart to Heart Club was able to set up a beautiful reading and playroom for the residents of the shelter complete with two beautiful jungle-themed murals painted by members of the club.

Food For Thought: Why Can Only Seniors Eat Lunch Outside? BY ANDRE GAVRIN At GCHS, students are not permitted to eat outside for lunch until their senior year. There is a dedicated area outside the lunchroom at which seniors can eat lunch if they so desire. In a poll taken by ECHO, however, the majority of the 32 students and staff surveyed (90.6%) indicated that they believed that all grades should be able to eat outside. With this number of teachers and students in favor of this policy, why has it not been implemented? When a student enters the high school, it is the staff’s responsibility to maintain a safe environment for them. The reason that only seniors are able to eat outside is due to their age. Senior year is the time where most students turn 18, and the school has
less liability for them. They are able to venture outside during off periods unsupervised. This begs the question, however: why not have a supervised outdoor cafeteria? The school could put out more picnic tables, and this way all grades can enjoy lunch outside. In the words of Jennifer Soper “I feel that students would benefit being outside and getting fresh air. This way students would not feel confined to the cafeteria.” There is a problem with this however, and it is the main reason all students cannot have an outdoor lunch. GCHS simply does not have a suitable amount of staff to maintain it. Most of the faculty is on board with having an outdoor lunch area if the amount of staff reaches the neces-
sary requirement. Principal McLaughlin showed agreement for this when she stated: “There is a lack of available teachers for supervision, especially during lunch periods. We need to cover the cafeteria, library and hall duties first. I agree however, it is a great idea!” Safety must come as a priority, as the school is liable if people end up cutting classes or getting hurt. This is much more likely to happen in an unsupervised area. If GCHS does end up getting enough faculty to maintain an outdoor cafeteria, maybe that should be the school’s next priority. According to NCBI.gov “Recently, the outdoors has been reported in the
scientific and lay press as an important factor that may have significant mental health benefits.” School is a stressful place, and allowing students to have time to relax in the sunshine would not only be good for them, but their grades as well. When students are given time to de-stress, it allows them to absorb more of what has been taught in class. Overall performance could go up dramatically. There is overwhelming support for an outdoor cafeteria, and it may be beneficial to make one when the time is right.
Battle of the Classes By Gabby Yepes Battle of the Classes, organized by the Miracle Club and Mrs. Fleming, is dedicated to cancer research and awareness. The main goal of the event is to raise money for cancer programs that specialize in rehabilitation, such as Back in the Game. Battle of the Classes also raises hundreds of dollars that go to organizations dedicated to helping children return to their old selves after grueling cancer treatments.
During the actual event, impressive raffles were given away such as: Tory Burch gift cards, a sunset cruise and a Smart TV. These amazing raffles were coordinated by Mrs. Fleming herself and help raise awareness and money for Back in the Game. Throughout the event, each class competed against the others in a series of games and competitions for the prize of bragging rights and superiority. This year, the sophomore
class seized the victory at the event. High School sophomore Sheila Mohan stated: “The games are a great bonding experience. I will definitely go again next year.” Generally the entire student body likes this event and looks forward to it. Battle of the Classes is viewed as a great way to unify the high school’s faculty and students while also doing good. It is a much loved event at Garden City High School.
By: Gabby Yepes During the 2015-2016 school year, Garden City High School sophomores participated in an enriching field trip. The field trip included a short bus ride to Queens where students got to see the spectacular Shakespearean play, Julius Caesar. The sopho-
more class read the play during the course of the school year, making the viewing of the play relevant to the year’s curriculum. Students who participated in this field trip thought it was a great performance and wanted to see it again. One stu-
dent in particular, Andrea Sciscente, said “it was a really nice performance, and the actors looked really into their work.” From the outside looking in, the play seemed like an amazing success.
A DAY AT THE SCHOOL OF ROCK By James Murphy
On April 15th, The International Thespian Society went on a field trip to see a performance of the School of Rock on Broadway. Before the performance, members of the society (and some people who were invited) were treated to an encounter with the singing waitstaff at Ellen’s Stardust Diner. As ITS members enjoyed dinner, staff members performed songs from pop culture as well as from musicals such as Wicked and The Book of Mormon.
Following dinner, ITS made their way to the Winter Garden Theater to see the show. Boy, was ITS in for a treat. The show featured a cast of characters who all had shining moments throughout the play. These moments would come through the kids’ ability to play rock instruments like professional musicians, humor, personality, and real-life references. The music itself, while threatening to break the crowd’s eardrums, really made the
audience feel like they were at a rock concert instead of your typical Broadway show. All the characters also went through struggles and overcame them in great fashion. This made the audience watching with avid eyes even more impressed with the show. School of Rock was an incredible musical to watch and to say that the International Thespian Society loved the trip would be an understatement.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVILBy Alex WAR Joudeh What A Movie! Marvel has really nailed this one. Captain America: Civil War has been a huge success, getting a 90% positive review on even the notoriously critical Rotten Tomatoes. The movie raised a staggering $1.072 billion in the Box Office. Critics used the words “Thrilling,” “Greatest,” and even “Inspiring” to describe the movie. Captain America’s success is owed to the skillful work of directors Anthony Riggers and Joe Russo, as well as the convincing acting of some of Marvel’s finest heroes, such as Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/ Falcon, Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, and Paul Bettany as Vision. The movie also starred Paul Rudd, whose performance as Scott Lang/Ant Man is particularly noteworthy for making a huge impact on the audience. The movie also introduced some new actors who will most likely star in future Marvel movies, such as Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa/Black Panther and Tom Holland
as Peter Parker/Spider Man. This movie swayed its audience with its old and new Marvel actors. Captain America: Civil War has a very intriguing plot. As a result of the courageous yet destructive battles the Avengers engaged in, there has been a trail of lost lives from innocent civilians. The United Nations proposes to pass the Sokovia Accords and establish the UN to oversee and control the Avengers. The half of the team with Tony Stark chooses to allow the UN to oversee the Avengers because they feel that they are responsible for the casualties. The other half with Steve Rogers chooses to decline because they believe that it is more crucial to the world’s survival that they step freely into battle without anyone telling them not to. But while this catastrophe was going on, Steve Rogers discovers a story about his childhood friend, Bucky Barnes, who was brainwashed back in 1991 to cooperate in creating unstoppable weapons for the evil organization of Hydra. A man named Helmut Zemos sought to activate Bucky’s Brainwash and annex the biological weapons. Steve Rogers uses his will to assist Bucky in stopping Zemo from
accessing the weapons, but he must overcome the greatest obstacle he has ever approached: his team. We know what the audience is thinking- “this is the same idea in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.” However, I believe that Civil War had a more meaningful plot than a human trying to defeat an opponent of God-like powers. If D.C. and Marvel are competing with movies in 2016, the blue ribbon decisively goes to Marvel. Captain America: Civil War is truly worth watching.. Keep your eyes glued to the screen during the movie’s iconic scene of the clash of Captain America and Iron Man-- you will not stop talking about it for weeks. You will most likely also get to see thrilling teasers for movies yet to come, including Marvel’s Doctor Strange starring Benedict Cumberbatch. And don’t miss on the two credit scenes at the the end of the film. These will leave the audience with many questions, such as “what will we see next of Helmut Zemo?” “What will Marvel have in store for viewers with the Black Panther and Spider Man?” But these are questions for another day.

BASEBALL
BY BRENDAN DOLAN
After an early exit in last year’s postseason, the baseball team was eager to redeem itself and make a run at the conference title. This job would not be as easy as it appeared on paper, as a group of incoming juniors would need to fill the shoes left by an impressive group of last year’s senior stars, Justin Samardich, Ryan Smith, and Vic Danza, who provided a considerable amount of firepower for last year’s unit. The boys struggled out of the gate, as their bats failed to generate any offense in their first four games against Jericho and Manhasset, all of which resulted in losses. The group managed to temporarily stop the bleeding, as the bats caught fire in their next two games against Manhasset, posting 24 runs en route to two victories. However, this success was short lived, as the team lost three of their next four. This time it was the pitching that let them down, as they surrendered 31 runs
in these three losses. Sitting at 3-7, the team would need to get things in order quickly if they hoped to make it back to the playoffs. To their credit, this year’s bunch rallied and pulled off six straight wins to get themselves within striking distance of the playoffs. However, while things appeared to be headed in the right direction, top-seeded Carey rolled in and completely killed all sense of Trojan momentum, as they swept the boys, outscoring them 22-2 in their three game series. While Garden City Baseball certainly did not end its season in the manner that they had hoped for, the players were definitely glad to be back in the playoffs with the ability to do some damage. Unfortunately, the Trojans were given a tough draw, as Conference II powerhouse Division was the next team on the docket for the Trojans, who narrowly edged out GC 3-2. Facing elimination, Garden City would need to
travel to Valley Stream South in order to keep their season alive. The Boys did just that as they handled the Falcons 6-2. Garden City did not have long to celebrate their victory, as their rematch with Division came just a day later. To the surprise of many, the Trojans shut out the Dragons 2-0 and effectively ended their season. Having to go on the road again to face 21-4 rival Wantagh, the challenges for Garden City only became more daunting. This obstacle was too high for this year’s group to get over, as Wantagh put an end to GC’s season by shutting out the Trojans 5-0. While the boys fell short of achieving the goal they had set out to accomplish, eliminating a traditionally dominant program in Division certainly proved to be a bright spot on the season, one that can hopefully provide a spark for next year’s team.

GIRLS’ LACROSSE BY Jennifer BEIHOFF
May 31st and June first were both great days to be a GC Trojan! Both the Garden City Boys’ Lacrosse Team and the Garden City Girls’ Lacrosse Team earned a Class B County Title and qualified for the Long Island Championships! Both teams played thrilling games against arch rival Manhasset to continue their playoff journey. On June 1st, the Garden City Girls Lacrosse Team won their first County Championship since 2012. Going into the playoffs the Garden City Girls Lacrosse Team earned the No. 1 Seed, as they went 15-1 in the regular season, receiving their only loss to the Seahawks of Cold Spring Harbor. The Girls Lacrosse Team posted a 4-1 record in regular season conference play. The Girls Lacrosse Team has been diligently practicing since the begin-
ning of March with the goal of winning semi-finals, as in the past two years, they were eliminated by the skillful Wantagh Warriors. The Garden City Girls Lacrosse Team earned the No. 1 seed in playoffs as a reward for all of their hard work winning some difficult games in the regular season. The girls have dedicated countless hours in order to achieve such a winning record. In the post season, Garden City Lady Trojans picked up wins against the Carey Seahawks, the Lynbrook Owls and the Long Beach Mariners. In their Semi-final game, Garden City (No. 1) beat Long Beach (No 2.) with a score of 14-2 in order to win their first semi-final game in a few years. In the County Finals, The Garden City Girls Lacrosse Team (No. 1) beat arch rivals Manhasset (No. 3) in a 9-8 thriller to win the County
Championship. The win was an all-around team effort, from the girls cheering on the bench to the girls playing on the field. Goals were scored by Jackie Brattan, Michaela Bruno, Kerry Defliese, Jenn Medjid, and Katie Muldoon. Brooke McDaid had two assists. Jackie Brattan had the assist to the game winning goal by Kerry Defliese with 29.2 seconds left in regulation play. Congratulations to all the members of the Girls Lacrosse Team on such a proud accomplishment; they have won another Class B County Championship! Another congratulations is in order for the team’s victory at States! Great job, girls.

BOYS’ LACROSSE
BY BRENDAN DOLAN After dropping their first three to begin the season, it appeared as if boys lacrosse would have a disappointed repeat of the season prior. Falling to Syosset, Smithtown West, and Massapequa all at home to begin the first week of regular season play certainly left a bad taste in the boys’ mouths before heading on the road. However, to their credit, to group pumped the brakes on their losing skid, and began to kick it into gear by winning three of their next four, which included a 7-6 win over powerhouse St. Paul’s, and a 17-3 beatdown of rival Carey. Unfortunately for the Trojans, this offensive outburst at Carey was followed by a dry spell in a 10-2 loss at Ridgefield. This inconsistent play left the team at 3-5, and in desperate need of finding their identity. In their four day layoff in between their next game at MacArthur, something must have clicked in practice, because this loss propelled the Trojans to 7 consecutive victories to finish the regular season, as they outscored their opponents by a whopping margin of
71, and put them in the driver seat to begin the playoffs while sitting in the top spot in the conference. This kind of rapid turnaround must be credited in some degree to excellent senior leadership, as members like Timmy Schmelzinger, Brian Haeffner, Sean Dillmeier, Doug Mongiardo, Brian Leggett, and Goalie Sam Lucchesi all played an active role in guiding the team down the stretch. This offensive flurry that the Trojans had posted to end the regular season continued as they opened the playoffs, as they embarrassed the likes of Floral Park and North Shore with 17-3 and 16-4 victories. While their performance was not as dominant in the next round, the boys proved to be of a higher caliber when matched up against South Side in their 9-4 win. The Trojans were well aware that things were not going to be as easy as they had been in previous rounds, as the Manhasset Indians provided a much more difficult task for these Trojans to accomplish. This was absolutely the case, as GC uncharacteristically fell behind early to the In-
dians, a situation the group had not been in since earlier in the season, which, to many, felt like a different season due to the drastic improvement. Down 5-1 late in the second half, Garden City’s season seemed to be all but lost in the Nassau County Final. The 2016 Trojans displayed an incredible amount of resolve, as they rallied to post 6 straight goals en route to the Nassau County Championship. While much of the praise can be thrown the way of the offense for this late game surge, the play of Goalie Sam Lucchesi must be lauded as well, as he refused to surrender another point against an impressive group of goal-scorers from Manhasset. With a chance at the Long Island Championship on the line, GC came out firing on June 4 against Shoreham-Wading River, as the 17-2 Wildcats were eager to redeem last year’s early postseason exit to Sayville with a trip to States. While the boys didn’t win, they still had a great season and pushed themselves even farther in the playoffs than they did last year.

WHAT’S GOING ON IN ICELAND? By Hallie Mallozzi
When most people think of Iceland, they probably imagine a desolate stretch of land covered in ice. However, this is a misconception; Iceland is home to around 320,000 people and is filled with a wide range of natural wonders, such as hot springs and geysers. Recently, the small Nordic nation has suffered political turmoil and government chaos. In the past month, Iceland has been in po-
litical distress, leading to their Prime Minister, Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson’s resignation. The trouble started after the release of the Panama Papers, a source of leaked information that revealed the Prime Minister had allegedly owned bonds through an offshore company. This revelation led to a large protest outside of the Icelandic Parliament building where protesters demanded that the
Prime Minister resign. Although Gunnlaugsson initially refused, he eventually gave into the pressure and resigned. Now Sigurður Ingi Jóhannsson, the Minister of Agriculture, has stepped in as Prime Minister. With Iceland’s political upheaval, both Icelanders and non-Icelanders are now questioning the extent to which they can trust their own governments.
With frequent breaking news headlines alerting the world to atrocious terrorist attacks, it seems as if the Islamic State has grown more powerful in 2016 with affiliates across the globe. Whether it is Paris or Brussels, attacks seem to be growing in scale and becoming more frequent. Furthermore, intelligence services have warned that ISIS may attempt further international attacks, which is a statement that is not at all comforting. However, it is essential to note that the major terrorist attacks that we hear about in the news are not the only atrocities taking place throughout the world. There are far too many horrors that have happened to give attention to each one on a global scale. Thus, the scale of terrorism is larger than what everyday people are conscious of, especially in places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. For example, in one weekend alone, ISIS was responsible for a suicide bombing that killed 25 Iraqis at a soccer stadium and an attack that targeted Christians in Lahore, Pakistan in which more than 65 people were killed. According to the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), the number of strikes killing more than 100 civilians averaged about 4.2 per year between 1978 and 2014. In 2015, that figure skyrocketed more than 500 percent, to 26. In the first half of 2016, START counted 11 more. The majority of the attacks have taken place in Africa and the Middle East. On November 13, 2015, gunmen and suicide bombers from ISIS hit a concert hall, a
major stadium, restaurants and bars in Paris, leaving 130 people dead and hundreds wounded. The abhorrent and shocking act left the world startled. On January 12, 2016, an ISIS follower conducted a suicide bombing in a popular central square in Istanbul, Turkey. The bombing left 13 foreigners dead and 14 injured. Following soon after, a series of attacks via suicide bombings in Jakarta, Indonesia on January 14, 2016 left another 24 wounded and 8 dead. Again, ISIS claimed responsibility for such terror. The following day, January 15,2016, a group of al-Qaeda supported militants seized Splendid hotel in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. More than 30 people were killed and 56 were wounded. The horrors do not even stop there. On February 17, 2016, Kurdish freedom fighters attacked buses, killing military personnel and civilians using a car bomb. On February 26, 2016, militants linked to al-Shabaab gunned and attempted to bomb an SYL hotel in Mogadishu. In Istanbul, a suicide bomber detonated himself in the middle of Istanbul’s main shopping street, killing at least 4 and injuring 36 on March 19, 2016. On March 22, 2016, bombers related to ISIS targeted a Brussels airport and metro station in the city, killing 32 people from around the world and injuring many others. Although we are only halfway into 2016, it seems as if the world is besieged with terrorist attacks that are occurring at a rate that is only speeding up.
