Hawkeye 03-2023

10 Students by day, doctors by night

HOSA is the place to be for anyone interested in the medical field, and they just took home gold at the state competition.

11 History’s unspoken heroes

As we celebrate Women’s History Nonth, it’s important to acknowledge the impact trans women have had on the fight for human rights.

12 Spring has sprung!

Throw away your fraying mittens and get yourself a nice new sundress. That goes for everyone. It’s spring, Hawks!

13 Spring sports have sprung!

Throw away your deflated basketball and get yourself a nice new tennis racket. That goes for everyone. It’s spring sports season, Hawks!

14 Winter sports takes a final bow

While you’re looking through the spring sports calendar planning when to attend games, lets take one last look at the Hawks who shined brightly throughout the winter sports season.

15 Daily dose of thought

C Mowin’ them down

Junior lefty starting pitcher Braden Thompson and the Hawks are off to a great 2-0 start and hope to return to the post season. In their first two games, Terrace has out-scored their opponents 41-1 in just 9.5 innings.

02 Don’t drop the platter!

Rumor has it that the production of “Rumors” was the talk to the campus. Elliot Orange and Emma Ward played Ernie and Cookie Cusack in the production.

Letter from the Editor

THE FILLER EPISODES OF LIFE

Hello, Hawks! You may notice my name and picture don’t match the Cecilia Negash you’ve come to know and love that writes these LFEs every month. Believe it or not, there’s another co-editor-in-chief that accompanies our beloved Cecilia, lurking in the shadows waiting for the moment she lets her guard down so I can take over the whole organization. Don’t worry, that moment hasn’t come yet, but Cecilia, if you’re reading this? Watch out.

But no, for now she’s still safe. I wanted to take this opportunity, as the spring flowers are starting to blossom outside, the climate change is moving from unseasonably cold to unseasonably hot, and the leprechauns are Irish jigging to their sweet Irish tune, to give my own thoughts for the month.

In my experience, high school can be a blur of just making it through half-conscious to get to the next thing, which will inevitably end up experienced half-conscious anyway. Thinking, “I just have to make it through this week, and then it’ll be the weekend,” or the classic “I don’t have the energy to do my homework right now, I’ll just make it through the school day and do it at home,” knowing full well that it’s a lie and that homework is never getting done.

So much of my time is spent in a haze of “just getting through,” but when you take a closer look at that haze, there’s so many little moments within it at the school that really do make Terrace feel special to me, and make me happy to be here and in this community even if they don’t normally stand out. The people, moments, classes that don’t immediately come to mind when you hear the word “community,” are what make up the heart of Terrace. It’s like mattress sales on American holidays. They may not be the first thing you think of when you hear “America,” and when you really think about it you might question them, but they’re always happening, and they’re truly what makes up the heart of this country.

And everyone plays a part in making Terrace special. I know when I’m going about my day to day life, there’s strangers that I recognize and have little stories about in my mind. Recurring characters, if you will.

Like, “oh, that’s the person who always has cool clothes and hair” or “I like how that person draws smiley faces” or “that’s that person I was friends with in elementary school, I wonder how they’re doing now?” or “that’s the person who has really good music taste and I steal songs from their Instagram stories” or “that’s the person that rides the same bus as me in the morning that looks like Oz from Buffy” or “that’s the tall white guy that looks like that other tall white guy.” Just kidding, tall white guys are their own unique individuals too. People notice you. They notice little things that are special about you that you may not even notice. They notice when your seat is empty in class and wonder where you are. They notice if you’re usually quiet, but one day decide to speak up

The HAWKEYE

and say something insightful. Even if they don’t say it, even if they don’t know you personally, people still notice you.

And okay, maybe that sounds really creepy. I’m not saying there’s hundreds of ravenous teenagers watching your every move on a daily basis, paying extra close attention the second you turn your back to count every follicle of hair on the back of your head and memorize exactly how each one falls. If there is someone doing that, I’d recommend a restraining order. But the little things you do, even just your presence, matter.

I can assure you 100%, you’re an integral character in someone’s narrative, even if they don’t know you and even if you think no one notices you.

There’s also the little pockets of community within the school where people find their niches. Whether that’s theater, HBN, art club, a sports team, TSA, or any other of the plethora of clubs and activities at Terrace. For me (as you could maybe guess), that’s always been Hawkeye. I never thought journalism was something I’d be passionate about. I remember in middle school when my friends in the Bulldog Brief would bring me a copy of the latest issue, and I’d immediately skip over all of the articles people poured their hearts and souls into and flip to the back for the word search. But since I joined, it was always the people that drew me in. Hawkeye has been where I’ve met almost all my friends (or roped them into joining because they didn’t want to be left out once all their friends joined leadership) and found somewhere that really makes me feel like I belong. And just like that, my fate was sealed. I can’t stop spending my weekends at the school, meticulously staring at words for hours.

I’d like to take a moment to especially acknowledge the staff at Terrace. The reason I can say I enjoy being in my classes is because of the environment that my teachers create that always brings a smile to my face, even when I’m having a horrible day otherwise. I think people appreciate teachers way more than they say, or more than they even realize sometimes. Because again, they can seem like just another character in your life, and whenever they finish teaching for the day they crawl under a cabinet in their classroom for the night just to crawl back out again to repeat the daily NPC cycle. But they do have lives, and they do a really good job going out of their way to make Terrace a welcoming place.

I won’t pretend like high school is all good, or be the nagging voice saying “these are the best years of your life, you need to live while you’re young,” because goodness gracious I hope that’s not true. It has been a rough few years. But there’s still part of me that will miss those silly little mundane interactions and observations because they really do mean a lot.

And even after I and the rest of the senior class graduate, Señora Reilly will still have too many tabs open, Mr. Johnston will still tell his daily jokes, Ms. Widrig will be convinced to show the Lego Movie to another class, Vince DeMiero will continue being Italian, and the world will keep turning.

For now, enjoy the spring and the rest of the school year, and play the Animal Jam St. Patrick’s Day maze while you still have time. H

Michelle Yeoh, lead actress in EEAAO, is the first Asian woman to be nominated for lead actress and win while her co-star Ke Huy Quan is the first Vietnamese actor to win an acting performance award. These two are now the first Oscar-winning actors who portray MandarinChinese and Cantonese-speaking characters. Overall this year’s Oscars is the first to have multiple Asian actors winning awards in a single year.

Outside of EEAAO, other actors and films also made firsts in their categories.

Ruth E. Carter is the first Black woman to ever win two Oscars for her costume work in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” and actress Angela Bassett is the first Marvel star to be nominated for an award. Rihanna and Ryan Coogler were nominated together for Best Original Song “Lift Me Up” that premiered in the movie.

Ana de Armas is the first Cuban woman to ever be nominated for Best Actress for her role as Marilyn Monroe in the movie “Blonde.”

The composer for “The Fabelmans,” John Williams, is the oldest nominee ever at 90 years old, as well as the current holder of most nominees, this being his fiftythird. This year’s Oscars gave a lot of representation across the board, but there is still room for the Oscars to grow in representing more places and people in their awards. H

Warrant for war crimes against Putin

By Virginia Alsept-Beaty HAWKEYE STAFF

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has filed an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin for the war crimes Russia has committed in the Russo-Ukrainian War. The arrest warrant, issued on March 17, 2023, claims Putin is responsible for “the war crime of unlawful deportation of (children).” They have stated that since the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Russia has abducted thousands of children from Ukraine and transferred them to Russia without the permission of their legal guardians. It has been found that these children are transferred to adoption and re-education facilities in Crimea and Russia, before they are given to Russian families and then granted Russian citizenship. There are more than 43 active adoption facilities and it has been found that the majority of children at these facilities are being re-educated with Russian values in order to be integrated into Russian society.

The ICC’s course of action has been praised by many internationally, with Ukraine wholeheartedly supporting this announcement. President Joe Biden has stated that Russia has “clearly” committed war crimes and supports the ICC’s choice to put out an arrest warrant. However, Russia has argued that they aren’t subject to the ICC’s jurisdiction. In 2016, Russia withdrew from a treaty that would allow them to join the ICC, making it unlikely for Putin to face the charges from the ICC in court.

On May 30, 2022, Putin signed an official decree that, essentially, legalized the abduction of Ukrainian children and the process of making them Russian citizens, as described by the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry. They went on to say that Russia had violated the 1949 Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, which disallows the process of changing children’s citizenship in any occupied territory. As of March 2023, Ukraine has rescued over 300 children from Russia. H

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey, causing devastation and leaving 44,000 people dead. On Feb. 6, 2023, one earthquake caused thousands of aftershock quakes, and left 1.9 million people looking for shelter including 850,000 children displaced. During the aftermath, 150+ aid cars are out with desperately needed supplies, cities have suffered widespread destruction and the people of Turkey are left in devastation. H

Disastrous train derailment in Ohio National

In East Palestine, Ohio, a Norfolk Southern freight train derailed and several toxic chemicals held on the train were released. As a result, every resident within a one-mile radius was evacuated and Ohio declared a state of emergency. In total, 11 of the 38 cars derailed contained chemicals. This included 115,580 gallons of vinyl chloride, which is known to increase rates of cancer. After investigating the cause of the derailment, it was found that a wheel bearing overheated and the sensors installed into the train didn’t alert the crew. Over 45,000 aquatic animals were killed and many residents have reported severe health problems in their pets. On March 14, 2023, it was announced that Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost would be filing a 58-count lawsuit against Norfolk Southern, citing they had been negligent and violated environmental health laws.

Donald Trump predicts his arrest

National

On the morning of March 18, 2023, former President Donald Trump predicted he would be arrested on March 21. Following his prediction, he encouraged followers to protest said arrest. The cause for this predicted arrest was because in 2016, Trump allegedly paid $130,000 to an adult film actress who claimed to have an affair with him. This allegation has prompted an investigation in the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which is currently nearing the conclusion of its investigation. Trump has actively denied previous allegations with similar payments, and plans to continue running for president again, even if he is indicted. H

Taylor Swift’s first tour since 2018 “Eras”

After a second night in the same stadium, the ensemble will move to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, with AT&T Stadium near Dallas, Texas next. With this tour, Swift sold more than 2 million tickets when they went on sale, Nov. 11, 2022. H

Detective files $10 million claim against SPD

Detective Denise “Cookie” Bouldin, a longtime detective in the Seattle Police Department (SPD), has filed a $10 million claim against the department. Bouldin alleged that she experienced sexism and racism coming from her coworkers several times, and that her coworkers resent her close relationship with the communities of color in Seattle. Bouldin is accomplished in the Seattle community, as she runs a youth chess club where she teaches children to play chess and build themselves. Bouldin is being represented by James Bible, a former chair of the King County NAACP, in court. If the SPD denies the claim, Bouldin can file a lawsuit. H

WHAT A COUNTRY WITHOUT MEANS FOR THE FUTURE...

By Lucas Barquin HAWKEYE STAFF

Living in a post Roe v. Wade world, many people – particularly minorities – are scared for what the future may hold.

On Friday, June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, getting rid of the federally protected right for anyone to have access to an abortion. Since the ruling, each individual state has had jurisdiction over the legalization and accessibility of abortion for people residing in their state. Many have made seeking an abortion a criminal offense, limited access to it or are in the process of passing legislation to do so.

Following the overturning of this case, many anti-trans bills have also been passed, furthering the restrictions of minorities’ bodily autonomy.

Most recently, Tennessee passed a law banning all transgender healthcare for minors. The law garnered 26 senate votes to ban all accessible gender dysphoria treatment. No surgeries, no hormones, no hormone blockers. Not only did they place a ban on all trans care for minors, Tennessee also placed restrictions for adult media broadcasting, including, “male and female impersonators.”

CHARLI GILCHRIST | HAWKEYE

Washington state still has trans and gender-affirming healthcare available for all, including minors, but the amount of anti-trans legislation in other states across the country is increasing. These bills have had widespread negative effects on trans people, especially youth. Because of the bill in Tennessee, trans youth will have to cycle off their hormones by March 31, 2024.

Because of a different bill, parents in Texas could be charged with child abuse for getting access to gender-affirming care for their children, and people across the country are losing access to trans healthcare that they need, with families already struggling to support their children.

When Roe v. Wade was overturned, many feminist activists were outraged, calling the ruling an attack on bodily autonomy. Eight months into the restrictions, 24 states have banned abortion, or are likely to do so, leaving many scared for what the U.S. may look like in the next few years.

Especially after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but now with other state legislatures passing antiminority laws, many are scared of what will happen in the future. The ruling set a precedent, as many thought previously that anti-abortion laws wouldn’t get enough support to pass. Now that they have, it seems anything could be on the table. This year, the Supreme Court is set to revisit decisions that would affect voting rights, affirmative action and LGBTQ+ rights.

Everyday, minorities such as queer, BIPOC and trans individuals are becoming increasingly scared for what else could be passed in the future. H

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSGENDER HEALTHCARE

By Lucas Barquin and Adrian Knowlton Graphics by Rodney Budden HAWKEYE STAFF

Earlier this month, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed into law a ban against all gender-affirming care for transgender youth under the age of 18. The bill, signed on March 2, 2023, not only prohibits gen-

der-affirming care for youth in the future, but for those currently on any form of hormones or hormone blockers, they have until March 31, 2024 to cycle off of them.

“As the political climate against transgender youth continues to escalate, it’s likely that more bans like this will be put into place in the near future.”

Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT is when an individual, usually trans, takes either estrogen or testosterone, to replace their current hormone levels and further align with their health goals.

Hormones, surgery and blockers are all still available for certain health conditions, such as when children experience puberty at an unusually young age, women or men who have higher levels of the opposite hormone, or for certain cancers, but cannot be used for gender dysphoria. This actively furthers the inaccessibility of transgender healthcare.

Transgender youth already experience some of the highest reported rates of hate crimes. Nearly 17% of transgender students report being physically assaulted because of their gender expression, and 32.1% report being physically harassed. Clearly, there is still a shocking lack of transgender education and support.

There are decades of research to prove transgender psychology, yet in many states, legislation is moving backwards

instead of forwards. Children are being exposed to gun violence in schools, a politically divided climate, food deserts, and generations are experiencing extreme mental health problems. On top of all of this, restricting trans healthcare, especially for younger people, not only endangers their mental health, but it furthers the stigmatization of transgender issues.

So far, two dozen other states are currently contemplating banning or limiting gender-affirming care for minors, causing outrage in many states and panic among the trans and queer community. Many are scared for what the future may hold for transgender individuals, some thinking about or preparing to leave the United States in search of medical refuge. Transgender activists have taken a stance against the sweeping bans, taking to social media, queer organizations and trans youth centers to help.

As the political climate against transgender youth continues to escalate, it’s likely that more bans like this will be put into place in the near future. Queer anti-trans activists have already grown a large following with the “LGB without the T” movement, spreading more anti-

trans rhetoric.

With how transphobia is spreading, there is only so much activists can do to mitigate the growth.

Even if it’s donating to a local group that helps build support for trans youth, signing one of the many online petitions or offering support through social media, many are left feeling hopeless in the face of all the hatred. H

RUNNING START INTO YOUR CAREER

Imagine being a college student at 16. It can be intimidating, like having to be a grown-up without actually being a grown-up. But it also offers the opportunity to start moving as an individual early on. This is what the Running Start program can offer, but is it for you?

While it’s common to consult your teachers and counselors for the pathways you should take, it’s also important to look at the experiences of current and past students. As a current Running Start student, here are a few things to consider.

As you may know, Running Start allows students to take college-level courses at a nearby community college while still in high school. These courses can count towards both high school graduation requirements and college credit. However, it’s important to carefully research the transfer policies, as some credits may not transfer. Ultimately, when deciding whether Running Start is right for you, think about your individual goals and learning styles.

One of the reasons I chose Running Start is being able to graduate early. I made sure to research which credits could transfer so

I could knock out some of the prerequisites for the University of Washington. I especially wanted to get ahead in math and finish taking the calculus series, as I’ve heard how much more challenging it is in university. Although I’ve considered taking AP classes, the idea of studying for one big, timed test that determines whether I get col lege credit or not stressed me out too much. I preferred getting credit over the consistency of my work.

Running Start is best for those looking for flexibility, as the scheduling is more individual. Unlike most high school classes which follow a fixed schedule, Running Start courses are often offered at various times throughout the day and week, allowing students to create a more customized schedule that fits their needs. I appreciate this, because I can create a schedule that starts later in the day since I’m not a morning person.

But it can be especially helpful for students who have other commitments, such as part-time jobs, extracurricular activities or family responsibilities. You are also able to choose your professor for each class and look at their class reviews at RateMyProfessor. com. This can be reassuring if someone is uncertain about a class they’ll take. In particular, it helped me to find a great math teacher.

In addition, Running Start also allows for more independence and responsibility compared to traditional high school classes. Students are responsible for managing their own schedules and balancing their high school and college coursework. With fewer classes but more work per class, Running Start can be helpful for those who want to focus more deeply on specific subjects.

“There are times when you’ll find yourself in a class without knowing anyone. In those moments, don’t be afraid to reach out to your college professors and classmates; many are willing to help and can assist you in navigating the college lifestyle.”

For me, this makes tracking what I need to do for each class simpler and helps to get the most out of my classes. Additionally, Running Start courses may require more independent study and self-discipline, as students are responsible for keeping up with college-level coursework outside of the traditional high school setting.

At a community college, the campus is usually open for longer hours than in high school, giving students access to a quiet place to study after hours. As someone who cannot focus at home, I take advantage of studying on campus, where I find myself more productive. Community colleges also often offer resources such as tutoring and advising to help students succeed in their courses.

On a typical day, I would go to the high school for 2nd period. Then I get picked up during PASS and arrive at Edmonds College at around 9:20 a.m. There, I grab a coffee at the on-site cafe and study before my 10:30 a.m. math class. After class, I have lunch and then either go to my 12:30 p.m. history class or go to the library to study if I don’t have class that day, and usually stay in the library until around 4 or 5 p.m.

From my experience, since studying alone every day can be daunting, once in a while it’s good to study with a friend or two. However, I’ve also found that studying with others can be distracting more than beneficial depending on who you are with, so experiment with finding a balance. Another aspect to consider with Running Start is that it puts you out of your comfort zone. There are times when you’ll find yourself in a class without knowing anyone. But, don’t be afraid to reach out to your college professors and classmates; many are willing to help and can assist you in navigating the college lifestyle.

You’ll also find plenty of other Running Start students from other schools who are in the same boat as you. I’ve been able to meet many people similar to me from different high schools through this program, and it’s made the unfamiliar college environment a little bit more familiar.

Running Start can be a great opportunity for high school students who are looking for more flexibility, independence and an early start to their college education. It’s important to carefully consider your goals and learning style before deciding whether it’s the right fit for you.

Some other factors to consider include transportation to and from the college, the cost of tuition and textbooks, and the availability of specific courses you are interested in. With careful planning and consideration, Running Start can be a great option for motivated and responsible high school students. H

THE LATEST CLIMATE UPROAR…

By Halle Connell and J Gurney Graphics by Charli Gilchrist

During President Joe Biden’s early presidency, he announced efforts to reduce the amount of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions in the air. But now, many are questioning his motives along with the people on his team as they put the Willow Project in motion.

The Willow Project is a $6 billion oil drilling project put in place by ConocoPhillips, planning to place an oil drilling center in Alaska to extract 500 million barrels of petroleum oil. This is equivalent to 76 coal-fired power plants operating in a single year, or adding 2 million cars to the road.

“That’s up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day,” ConocoPhillips claimed. That’s 1.5% of the U.S. total oil production.

The project will take place in the eastern tip of Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve, covering a space of 60,000 acres, or

The reaction to the

Biden Administration’s final decision has sparked mixed reactions. The controversial decision has made many think about the long-lasting effects to the environment when the project will be put in place. This project will produce enough oil to release 250 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere over the next 30 years, making climate change almost impossible to reverse and directly going against President Biden’s claim to end oil drilling on federal land. In his campaign promises, it was ensured that the U.S. would achieve a 100% clean energy economy by 2050. Now that the Willow Project is approved, that promise will be almost impossible to fulfill.

In a press briefing on March 6, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about Biden’s thought process on approving the Willow Project when it contradicted his claim of ending fossil fuel usage.

“The president did meet with the Alaska delegation last week at the White

House. He always appreciates and meeting with the full delegation understanding what their concerns So, I’ll leave it there,” Jean-Pierre “And when it comes to that specific sion, that’s something that the of interior is going to make, so going to get ahead of where she’s to be. But the president has met delegation, and I’m just going there.”

The department of interior has responsibility of managing public minerals, national parks, and is trusted to respect Indigenous Native Alaskans, according to In an earlier interview she stated,

HOSA: Master medics in the making

By Jakob Nacanaynay SPORTS EDITOR

Some 32 members of the MTHS Future Health Professionals club, more commonly known as “HOSA,” competed in their first state conference hosted in the Spokane Convention Center from March 9-11.

HOSA aims to promote interest in the healthcare field, teaching technical skills while developing leadership, communication and teamwork abilities. Members can compete in a wide variety of events from Public Health to Biomedical Debate.

For their first competition, HOSA brought home several awards. Chengxuan Li won first place in Biotechnology and third in Medical Math. Angela Grachev got third place in Health Career Photography. Ahna Elsberry, Jade Lim and Aubrey Swenson all won fifth in Public Health. Other members also took top 10 placements in Sports Medicine, CPR/First Aid and Public Health.

Club historian AJ Pidlaoan reflected on his experience as both exhilarating and “quite mentally tiring.” In preparation for compet-

ing in CPR/First Aid with his partner Tim Cho, he reported spending weeks “reading BLS (basic life support) manuals. Readying myself for the multiple choice with a 200term Quizlet. Reading the event rubric for hours. Practicing CPR on dummies and stuffed animals.”

After completing the qualifying 50-question multiple choice exam a few weeks before state, he was informed that he passed and moved onto round two which consisted of translating his learning into performing in an unknown, simulated situation.

“We were tasked with saving a firefighter that was suffering from heat exhaustion, and a bystander who had fainted,” Pidlaoan said.

“At first, I was nervous, but when it came time to act, adrenaline took over.”

They ended up taking sixth place in the event.

Attendees, beyond just their competitions, were also kept busy throughout the conference attending various workshops and events.

While the club was established last school year in 2021, it was mostly focused on

fundraisers and recruiting members. This year however, HOSA experienced explosive growth with dozens of members and an active Instagram account.

The club is now led by President Jade Lim, Vice President Tyler Pham, Secretary Khai Nguyen, Treasurers Daryl Tran and Ahna Elsberry, Reporter Angela Grachev and aforementioned Historian AJ Pidaloan. Biotechnology teacher Jami Wollan is the club’s adviser.

The club is now planning on sending students to the international competition held this year in Dallas, Texas from June 21-24.

They are planning on hosting another blood drive and bringing in medical guest speakers. On April 25 from 2-3 p.m., HOSA will host an ACT first aid class – “antidote (narcan) for suspected opioid overdoses, CPR and AED for cardiac arrest and tourniquet for severe bleeding,” Pidlaoan explained.

“I would recommend others to join HOSA,” Pidlaoan said. “Come by for a couple of meetings and see if the club is the right fit for you! We have a very welcoming and beginner-friendly community. Like you, we’ve just started and would love to help each other grow. Going to state and competing is not required but also recommended. Although it was rather daunting at first, afterward we collectively were like ‘yeah, this is pretty awesome.’”

HOSA meets every Tuesday after school in room 127. H

Joined through music, from strings to a capella

By Ciara Constantino and Evan Kerani HAWKEYE STAFF

Weeks ago, the Edmonds School District (ESD) music program held their annual quad concerts, bringing elementary, middle and high school students together to rehearse and perform.

The school district, divided into the northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast quadrants, held one concert for each section. Each provided a chance for the bands, orchestras and choirs from all different age ranges to connect and perform together.

Many students voiced that they enjoyed playing with younger students and inspiring them to continue in music. The concerts carried a very laid-back vibe, meant to be more enjoyable than stressful.

“The quad concert rehearsal experience was really enjoyable; it was a relaxing and fun time for bonding with classmates and the younger musical kids,” Job Astudillo, a sophomore in chamber orchestra, said. “My favorite part was dressing up as a theme related to our music pieces. It made

it into a more silly and fun experience rather than a serious one.”

The wholesome and funny environment during the rehearsal and the concert helped everybody loosen up and truly unite through music. “My favorite part about it would probably be me doing my solo in front of all the kids,” Ethan Baquiring, a sophomore in chamber choir, said.

Through his solo, kids were inspired to leave their comfort shells and put themselves in the spotlight.

“After we were all done, I heard from one of my choirmates that others want to be a soloist when they get older. So yeah, I guess it just feels nice to inspire others,” he said.

Others especially enjoyed the kids’ enthusiasm, and the help from all the teachers assisting them.

“They were so cute. It was so much fun, too, and the other choir teachers were really nice and really good at their job. They were very enthusiastic, so it was really fun trying to

get them to sing,” sophomore Kira Paulsene said.

The skill level of the younger students across the different music groups was also impressive.

“It was pretty good, we were playing simple music so we could play with the younger bands. They did a pretty good job of keeping up,” senior Braeden Valdivia, a member of the jazz band, said. “We split up the students to sit in between us high school students, so we were able to help them out, which was pretty cool.”

For the band performance, each Terrace student was surrounded by about three of the younger students, which gave them a chance to familiarize themselves with them and their interests before playing.

“We got to know them and acted like big buddies for them. Because the middle schoolers arrived first, we got to know them a little bit; find out where they were planning to go to high school, give them advice and talk about music,” sophomore jazz band member Abby Setala said. “Then, when the sixth graders came, the middle schoolers and us all welcomed them in. Making sure every younger person had a couple buddies that they got to know was really effective, and a lot of the kids I interacted with seemed to be having a great time.”

The quad concerts ended up being a huge success, going relatively smoothly and being a learning opportunity for both the younger and older musicians.

For younger kids, intimidation could be expected in an environment like that.

But with the welcoming environment created by the Terrace music community, they learned skills from our musicians and got a chance to bond with them, many being inspired to continue pursuing music. H

Women’s History Month

Trans women breaking barriers

By Halle Connell HAWKEYE STAFF

Throughout the fight for equal rights for women as well as people in the LGBTQ+ community, trans women have yet to stay silent. One of the most persevering and strong groups in history, trans women, specifically Black trans women, have shined through despite being shunned by the world, and have managed to pave the way for women and queer folk like them to thrive.

“I am very grateful for trans women for helping out the LGBTQ+ community. They do so much for us, like they have protested so much, they are literally the backbone of our rights and that’s amazing honestly,” freshman Nicole Carty said. “I genuinely believe that people hating on trans people is B.S., because why do you care how someone else lives? They’re living their own life, live your own.”

Even when they are forced to be forgotten, they still persevere more than one could imagine. Trans women are a group to be remembered and praised for their bravery and empathy to fight for themselves and others.

Here are a few of their stories…

Marsha P. Johnson

1945-1992

Born on Aug. 24, 1945, Marsha P. Johnson would grow to become one of the most prominent figures for Black trans women in all of history, as well as a prominent figure for gay rights, rumored to be the one who started the Stonewall Riots 1969 by throwing a brick at a police officer. She was one of the biggest advocates in the 1960s and 1970s for LGBTQ+ youth who were shunned by their families, along with being an advocate for people suffering from HIV and AIDS, a very controversial topic at the time.

Johnson was a self-identified drag queen, going by the stage name Black Marsha, before finally settling on Marsha P. Johnson, the “P” standing for “Pay No Mind.” Johnson soon became very prominent in the queer community, commonly referred to as a “drag mother,” helping young queer individuals who became homeless after either coming out or being outed.

She was also a founding member of the Gay Liberation Front and cofounded Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR). Johnson died July 6, 1992. She was found in the Hudson river and the police ruled it a suicide. Johnson’s legacy continues to live on with the imprint she left in the queer community.

Johnson once said, “They call me a legend in my own time, because there were so many queens gone that I’m one of the few queens left from the ’70s and the ’80s.”

Sylvia Rivera

1951-2002

Sylvia Rivera, born on July 2, 1951, was also an American gay liberation activist who identified as a drag queen, later a transgender woman. She was known to be close friends with Johnson and heavily participated in the Stonewall riots. She helped with demonstrations with the Gay Liberation Front, and co-founded the youth group shelter STAR.

Rivera attended many riots and protests to fight for gay and trans rights. On the day of her famous speech “Y’all better quiet down” in 1973 during the first Gay Liberation Day rally, Rivera was told she was not allowed to speak, despite being a big figure in the queer community. After this she jumped on stage and grabbed the mic, the crowd started booing, and then she delivered her famous line, “Y’all better

quiet down.” She continued her speech stating, “I’ve been trying to get up here all day, for your gay brothers and your gay sisters in jail that write to me every motherf**king week and ask for your help, and you all don’t do a godd**n thing for them.” She continued her speech for another three minutes.

“I have been to jail. I have been raped. And beaten. Many times! By men, heterosexual men that do not belong in the homosexual shelter. But do you do anything for me? No. You tell me to go and hide my tail between my legs. I will not put up with this s**t. I have been beaten. I have had my nose broken. I have been thrown in jail. I have lost my job. I have

out, ‘Where do I belong in this world?’

They’ve stated openly that they felt that I did my own thing during a period when people were not doing their own thing. They were conforming to patterns that society had said ‘you are and you must do’ and I did my own thing. And I’ve got to admit I did it for myself, I had no idea it was going to affect the rest of the world.”

Jorgensen influenced many other transgender individuals to come out and start expressing themselves, and influenced people to have gender-affirming surgery to feel like their true authentic selves. She died on May 3, 1989 of lung and bladder cancer.

lost my apartment for gay liberation and you all treat me this way? What the f**k’s wrong with you all? Think about that!” During her speech, Rivera pointed out the struggles that queer folk of color face in the wake of this revolution. She expressed her immense disappointment toward the community for leaving the most underprivileged and discriminated group behind, along with pointing out the privilege white gay men have over queer people of color. After the speech, she left the activist spotlight for 20 years, before returning due to Johnson’s death.

Sylvia Rivera died Feb. 19, 2002 from liver cancer.

Christine Jorgensen

1926-1989

Born May 30, 1926, Christine Jorgensen was one of the first widely known trans women in America. She was a successful actress and singer. Jorgensen was drafted during WWII, after which she fled to Denmark where she had multiple gender-affirming surgeries.

After returning home, Jorgensen made the front page headlines speaking of her experience on discovering her true authentic self. She gave multiple speeches during the ‘70s-’80s, traveling the country sharing her journey.

“I find on college campuses it’s incredible, the acceptance is marvelous,” Jorgensen said in an interview with the daily talk show “Hour Magazine.” “They’re fascinated, they’re fascinated because we have come into an era of identification, human identification. Not only just sexual identity, but ‘Who am I?’ I think the world is far more complex now than it was when I was young, and so the younger generation, they wanna find

Trans people as a whole have brought our community together in more ways than we can imagine, and deserve all the respect we can give them and more, with new state laws being passed restricting many trans kids from getting the help they need (see the article on page 6), along with the common stereotype of drag queens being ‘groomers,’ trans people need the help and support they deserve.

“My first and foremost thought is that everybody should live their happiest lives and be allowed to pursue happiness in whatever that means to them,” Terrace football and track coach Archie Malloy said. “My second thought is I’m in full support of people living their life, and doing so peacefully, and when people are undermined that means they’re underserved, and if we’re undeserving of a population of human people then we are falling short as humans.”

Many forget the fight that trans women, especially Black trans women, put up in order to for the rights of others, and the sacrifices they made in order to make sure everyone got the equal rights they deserve.

“Obviously they shouldn’t be undermined if they’re doing positive things,” sophomore Maria Gaviola said. “And I don’t think it should matter whether they’re trans or people of color, that shouldn’t affect how people view them. They’re just being themselves, it’s not really fair for them.”

Trans violence, again, mostly against Black trans women has spiked and has been prevalent since their existence has been known. H

April is just around the corner. What’s so important about April, you might ask? Ask.

“What’s so important about April!!?”

Oh, I’m so glad you asked! There’s April Fool’s Day, National Boba Day (on April 30, if you were wondering), and cherry blossom trees everywhere you look. Why are there cherry blossoms, you might be wondering? … “Why are there cherry blossoms?!”

SPRING

ing the entire week. What are Terrace students doing? All of that and more! This year, all of our bands are headed to Anaheim, California and doing a workshop for Disney.

“[I’m excited to] to travel out of state with my friends as well as play music for a new crowd, and the Disney workshop we get to do at the Imagination Campus,” junior Madi Beam said.

Speaking of taking trips out of state, senior Jack Williams is also taking quite the flight, all the way to Nevada.

“I’ve never properly been to Nevada before, so this is going to be a new experience for me. We plan on seeing the Hoover Dam, the Mob Museum, Omega Mart and a Penn & Teller show while we’re there. Obviously, I’m not old enough to gamble, so we won’t be hitting up any of the casinos,” Williams said. But as they say, whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Kidding, of

With spring beginning so soon, it welcomes things like pollen, leading to runny noses and teary

Cenai Kidane said.

Others also look forward to the season because of the beautiful scenery, as it makes the milieu of bustling, gray Seattle less chaotic.

“I think spring is great, my favorite part is the trees, just because the colors look nice and the weather is great too,” Smith said.

Ah, spring. The bright sun in the sky while it’s still only 45 degrees out. It’s magical, really. But, what’s more perfect than going out and getting fresh air? Rodriguez hopes to spend time with her friends during the week-long break.

“I’ll probably work most of spring break, but I’m hoping to maybe have a picnic with friends or do something outdoorsy like a hike,” she said.

Seniors are quite busy around this time of year. College commitments, graduation quickly chasing their tails; some are worried about all of the change, but others are excitedly anticipating the day they graduate.

“I do enjoy spring, because for me, it means that another school year is coming to an end, meaning I’m one step closer to grad uating,” Williams said. “It also means that summer is around the corner, which allows me more time to do relaxing things like sit outside in the warm sun and read a science fiction novel that I’ve been wanting to explore.”

What else adds to a perfect spring day? A perfect spring playlist!

What are your plans for spring break?

Well, since our avid readers are so curious, it’s because it’s spring, of course! Even though spring officially begins on March 21, spring in the Pacific Northwest really begins in April instead. From April 3-7, students will be on their spring break. Free from homework, vocabulary words and due dates to wrap up the third quarter. And if the weather behaves the way we hope, we’ll have more sun and less stress! Unless you’re an AP student, then good luck. Moving on, April brings many new opportunities for students. For example, the one act play opens on April 28, there’s different sporting events throughout the month (as long as they don’t get rained out), Terrace Got Talent and the Spring Fling!

During the break, the possibilities are endless. You could take a walk around your block, go on a trip to Disneyland, or stare at your ceil-

“I sneeze a lot and it’s an inconvenience to have pollen all over the place,” sophomore Reyna Rodriguez said. Spring isn’t everybody’s favorite season, whether it’s because of allergies or not being a fan of the warmer weather.

“My favorite season is winter. I just really like the cold weather,” sophomore Mia Smith said.

Despite some people preferring the cold, others look forward to the sun returning and clouds disappearing.

“The sun starts to appear regularly and it warms up, and I’m just in a better mood because I struggle with seasonal depression and I start to feel better in spring,” Beam said.

Spring brings plenty of others excitement as well.

“I do like spring. I like the temperature and my birthday’s in spring so I like it,” freshman

Some of the song recommendations from Terrace students include Spring Affair by Donna Summer, Beekeeper’s Daughter by The All American Rejects, Alrighty Aphrodite by Peach Pit, Strawberry Fields Forever by the Beatles, Taylor Swift’s Fearless album, Boyfriend by Big Time Rush and Lowercase by Landon Conrath, all found on the playlists of Edmonds School District students. There’s nothing that could make taking a stroll, reading a book or screaming at video games better than a song to get you excited and ready for the day.

Nevertheless, no matter how you feel about the weather or how you decide to spend your spring break, we still have to come back on April 10 at 7 a.m. Sorry, folks. H

SPRING SPORTS OFF TO A SHINING START

about the game against Olympic, it was a complete team win. Everybody was hitting and it was nice to end it off with a run-rule win,” senior Cameron Dunn said.

By Phuong Lam GENERAL MANAGER

Spring sports are off to a great start. Baseball started their season with backto-back wins against Spanaway Lake, with a dominating 27-0 victory, and against Marysville-Getchell, with a 14-1 victory.

Junior Matthew Meadows credits their success “to our approaches at the plate. Each time we go up to bat we aren’t looking to hit a home run, we’re just looking to get on base anyway we can and hit solid line drives in the gaps or opposite fields.”

Their next home game will be against Shorecrest High School at 4 p.m.

Friday, March 24 for their first home conference match-up.

“[I am] looking forward to competing with other teams in our league and showing them what we’re all about,” Meadows said.

The head coach is Ryan Sells and his assistant is his brother Jaykob Sells. Connor Flynn is the JV coach and the pitching coach is Dominic DeMiero. All four coaches are Terrace alumni.

The team will be traveling to Kamiak High School to face the knights on Thursday, March 23.

Their next home game is Monday, March 27 against MarysvillePilchuck at 4 p.m.

Dunn credits the team’s success “to our returners really improving their game and our new freshmen who were the missing piece to our puzzle last year. They brought in new hitting and pitching, and all have different staples of play so it’s been awesome to be able to work with all of them so far.”

Women’s golf, coached by Theresa Renico, started their season off with a win against Edmonds-Woodway.

“Winning our first match as a team felt good. I believe it boosted our team’s confidence to do better in the future. Celebrating with an IHOP dinner made it better,” junior Alison Dumo said. Their next match is against Meadowdale on Wednesday, March 22 at the Lynnwood Golf Course. Men’s golf will face Edmonds-Woodway High School on Wednesday, March 22 at the Nile Golf Course, their team is coached by Albert Jaimes.

What are you most excited for this sports season?

Softball also started strong with back-to-back wins. Coached by Shannon Rasmussen and assisted by Griffin Rash, Craig Rasmussen, Herb Hudson and Kierra Scott, they faced Bishop Blanchet and won 6-5. The next day, they went against Olympic High School and dominated with a 14-4 win against the Trojans.

“I felt very good

“Our goals for this year are to push ourselves more to work harder, be positive and have so much fun.”

Kayla Marie Apostol SENIOR TENNIS PLAYER

Men’s soccer had an exciting win in their season opener against Snohomish High School. The team is coached by Jason Baumgardt and assisted by Chris Mitalas and Erik Schunke. Senior Kyle Mervin led the team to victory with a goal in overtime to finish the match 2-1.

“Going into the game I felt confident because our team had worked really hard to prepare for the season,” Mervin said.

The next home game for the Hawks will be on March 24 against Marysville-Pilchuck at Edmonds Stadium.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing our team grow and get even better so that we can hopefully get to playoffs,” he said.

Women’s tennis started their season with a match on Monday 20 against Arlington High School. Coached by Daniel Brzovic and assisted by Lavon Driscoll, their next home game will be on March 27 against Marysville-Getchell at 3:30 p.m.

“This year is different. By having so many girls on the team, for being my senior year and might be my last time ever playing,” senior Kayla Marie Apostol said. “This year might be one of the toughest years. We have lost many seniors with amazing talent. Our goals for this year are to push ourselves more to work harder, be positive and have so much fun.”

Track and field has more than 100 athletes participating this year, the largest team at Mountlake Terrace. They are coached by Archie Malloy, Tony Wilson, Katie Burnett and Sharalee MathewsMalloy.

Their first conference meet is Thursday, March 23 at Edmonds Stadium against Edmonds-Woodway and Shorewood High School. H

March’s Logic Puzzle

A SIGHTLESS RACE WITH ECHOLOCATION & TELEPORTATION

Created by Jakob Nacanaynay

SPORTS EDITOR & PUZZLE MASTER

The Scenario

Three blind people are in a mile-long race. Their names are Alice, Bob and Charlie. They all have superhuman echolocation abilities which allows them to identify the track and tell if people are around them, but they cannot identify the person.

All of them run at the same constant speed, except there are five evenly-spaced teleport points (start, Q1, halfway, Q3, end) where they teleport from one point to another.

When at a teleportation point, they always teleport to another teleportation point along the track (except when the race immediately starts and after they complete a teleport).

The Details

1. Alice ran half a mile and teleported once.

2. Bob ran one mile and teleported four times.

3. Charlie ran three-quarters of a mile and teleported three times.

4. Charlie and Bob had the same teleport destination on their first teleports which landed them one section behind Alice.

5. Bob and Charlie teleported from Q3 to the start on their second-to-last teleport.

Your Task

Reconstruct the race for how each runner teleported and where. NOTE: For each runner, add one for running a section, add

the square for the number of sections they teleport at a time and multiply by three if they teleport backwards (adding the square before). Multiply the totals for each runner. The result is the “magic number” which you submit to prove you solved the puzzle.

Your Deadline

• 3/31/23
