The HAWKEYE

THE FORK IN THE ROAD I

t was an ordinary September night, and the house was quiet. Through the thin wall separating my brother’s room from mine, I could hear his gentle snores as he slept, and outside, the occasional car drove by.

Reaching down, I picked up my phone. “1:30 a.m.” my robotic screen reader software said. For the past five hours, I’d been trying to shut my brain off, and it wasn’t working.

“Am I making the wrong decision?”

I kept asking myself.

Ritika Khanal CO-EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Throughout the first few weeks of school, my freshman honors English teacher, Vince DeMiero, had been asking me about joining the Hawkeye, which, it turned out, he also advised.

At first, I had no idea what on earth this “Hawkeye” thing was, so I ignored him. Then, he started talking to the entire class about how cool being involved in clubs and activities at MTHS can be.

“I don’t want you to be discouraged from joining because of money or transportation or whatever your concerns might be,” he told us. “Talk to someone, because we’re here to help.”

Hearing him say that made a huge impact on me, and it was those words that were swirling around in my head as I lay tossing and turning in my bed that night. In the few short weeks of working with DeMiero, I had begun to admire and respect him, which automatically made me want to work with him as much as I could.

Every couple of days, I would get a gentle nudge from him, asking me if I’d thought any more about joining the Hawkeye.

Eventually, I began to think that maybe I should give it a shot.

But how?

As I entered high school, I promised myself that I wouldn’t ask my parents for anything I didn’t absolutely need. I knew that if I joined Hawkeye, I would need a ride home, and that in my mind was something I didn’t absolutely need from them. Plus, there were the usual doubts and fears: not being good enough, not having anyone to help me navigate unfamiliar environments, not being accepted by peers my own age, etc. So, as I lay wide awake that night, I told myself, “Yes, you made the right decision by not joining.”

Yet, the guilt remained. I didn’t want to keep saying no to DeMiero, either. I’ve never liked saying no to people, but here was a person who I’d already come to admire, who clearly believed in me and, for whatever reason, saw some potential in me. How could I keep saying no to that?

When I walked downstairs the following morning to leave for school, my mom took one look at me and told me we needed to talk.

“What is bugging you?” she asked in her stern Nepali way.

“You look like a ghost paid you a visit last night.”

“Nothing,” I said quickly.

“No, you tell me right now,” she said.

So, I did. When I came home that day, my mom had a plan.

“Your brother is picking you up from Hawkeye tomorrow,” she said sternly. “It’s obviously important to you, so go do it.”

I wasn’t going to be told twice. On Sept. 13, 2018, without fully realizing what I was getting myself into, I stepped into room 130 for the first time, and that one little decision would go on to shape my entire high school career.

The last few years with the Hawkeye have given me the opportunity to put on many hats, serving as a staff reporter my freshman year, op-ed editor my sophomore year and then as co-editor-in-chief for both my junior and senior years. I reported through a pandemic, and wrote about things I never imagined I would. I walked in as a little freshman, scared that no one would accept me and that I wouldn’t have the support I needed. Today, I can proudly say I’ve held several leadership positions, highlighted some pretty amazing people and programs at MTHS and most definitely found a group of friends who have not only accepted me for who I am, but have supported me through thick and thin.

However, I often wonder what would have happened if I had taken another path those first few weeks. If I hadn’t been in that particular freshman honors class, If DeMiero hadn’t continued to encourage me, if my mom hadn’t chosen to intervene to give me the opportunity, if I’d chosen to let go of my gut feeling that I needed to join. It’s possible that another path would have eventually wound its way to Hawkeye, but it’s also quite possible that I would have never ended up where I did.

One little turn down a slightly different path, and I may never have had the chance to make the memories I’ve made.

That one little decision, to say yes instead of no, has helped me find some of the closest friends I’ve ever had. I’d like to think that I’ve grown as a person, writer and leader. I’ve had amazing opportunities to connect with the top journalists across the country and I’ve had the honor of telling the stories of MTHS. Now, four years, more than 40 articles and too many sleepless hours later, it’s hard to believe that this chapter of my life is coming to an end. I’m standing at another fork in the road, with quite a few paths to choose from.

No matter where my path leads next, I will never forget my experience as a journalist for the Hawkeye. To our readers, thank you for everything.

Thank you for trusting us to tell your stories, for supporting the work we do and for allowing us to tell our own stories.

Thank you for putting up with the incessant blind jokes that have been made every issue, for dealing with my attempts at being funny and most of all, thank you for reading.

I hope I’ve helped you feel represented, or encouraged you to think about something you hadn’t considered before. Before I sign off and pass everything off to my extremely talented and capable Hawkeye siblings for the upcoming issues, I thought I’d make an attempt at one more little piece of advice. If an opportunity arises that you’re not quite sure about taking, the answer is yes. It just might make a world of difference.

Thanks again for everything. Ritika out. H

ROE V. WADE THREATENED TO BE OVERTURNED BY SCOTUS

By Terina Papatu HAWKEYE STAFF

Roe v. Wade originated as only a lawsuit, leading to the Supreme Court ruling on abortion rights. The lawsuit originated with Jane Roe, a single pregnant woman who filed the suit on behalf of herself to challenge Texas’ abortion laws.

The Supreme Court’s final ruling with Roe v. Wade legalized abortion. When the lawsuit was filed, abortions were only legal if the mother’s life was in danger. This all happened in 1973, and the ruling has been challenged ever since.

In early May, there was a draft leaked on overturning the Roe v. Wade decision. The Supreme Court of the United States has allowed Texas’ Senate Bill 8 to stand, which NICO FRANCOIS | HAWKEYE bans abortion after about six weeks, which is before women usually know they’re pregnant. There are many other states who are being allowed similar or the same laws.

This is the closest that the Supreme Court has been to banning something that Roe v. Wade protects. If this law is overturned, 26 states could quickly ban abortions, IUDs and other forms of birth control. H

13 lives lost in mass shooting

On May 14, innocent citizens of Buffalo, New York who were shopping at Tops Friendly Markets soon became the victims in a mass shooting. The suspect in custody is an 18-year-old white male from Conklin, New York. He drove over 200 miles with tactical gear and a camera to live stream his attack on Twitch. His attack was racially motivated. Investigation has shown he was planning to target the supermarket for months from his social media and repeated visits to the supermarket, detailing who and where the exits were.

He has been charged with first-degree murder but has pleaded not guilty. Out of the 13 people he shot, 11 were black and victims ranged from 20 to 85 years old. Roberta A. Burry, Margus D. Morrison, Andre Mackneli, Aaron Salter, Geraldine Talley, Celestine Chaney, Heyward Patterson, Katherine “Kat” Massey, Pearl Young, and Ruth Whitfield were among the 11 victims that died. H

Netflix confirms lay off of 150 employees

National

This month, Netflix, the leading streaming service, has confirmed they will be laying off 150 workers, around 2 percent of its workforce, to cut down on spending and offset the slowing revenue cost. Netflix says, “These changes are primarily driven by business needs rather than individual performance, which makes them especially tough as none of us want to say goodbye to such great colleagues.” For the first time in the past decade, Netflix was losing subscribers. In the first three months of 2022, over 200,000 subscribers were lost. Increased competition from Disney Plus, HBO, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and more have also affected the current decline. In Netflix’s earnings report last month, it says that the current Ukraine war and increasing costs in the U.S., including pulling out of the Russian market, has caused a decline in subscription rates.

An email from the Northshore School District was sent out to parents and guardians about the investigation into the dealings after several students who were reported to have bought and vaped the cartridges reported sickness later.

There is currently no official report on how many cartridges were sold to students, and only one was turned in to the police. H

A magnitude 3.3 earthquake was reported near the town of Marysville in Snohomish county on May 17 around 1:07 a.m. The earthquake did not cause any major damage, and the only thing that may have been felt was a small amount of shaking.

Although this specific occurrence did not cause much of any damage, earthquake analysis shows that Washington state is 200 years overdue for a major earthquake.

CARPENTRY CLASS GIVES STUDENT Story by Ritika Khanal Photos by Seras Bryner Graphics by Phuong Lam HAWKEYE STAFF

When Office of Public Instruction (OSPI) Superintendent Chris Reykdal imagined the new CTE pathways in action, he imagined classes in which students could work hands-on and develop skills that they could then transfer into a career right out of high school.

Today, the two-year interdistrict carpentry program at MTHS does just that.

Math class, in most people’s eyes, consists of rows of desks, a teacher in front of the room and students with a textbook or a worksheet solving problems. However, it takes only one visit to the carpentry classroom at MTHS to see a different way of learning entirely.

While students are gaining a math credit by taking the class, their days do not consist of math worksheets or sitting at desks. Each day, they work to develop carpentry skills, working in a team to build tiny homes from the ground up.

The concept for the class began long ago, when the Lynnwood Rotary Club began a partnership with Edmonds College.

“From my understanding, the Lynnwood Rotary Club started this program 48 years ago,” carpentry instructor Tony Wilson said. “They started and created this program for students to build duplexes through the classroom so they could leave the classroom with an understanding of how to build a house.”

Then, not too long ago, the Edmonds School District (ESD) brought the program to MTHS, making it an interdistrict program allowing students from other high schools to take the class, too.

However, a new aspect was implemented into the program. Instead of building duplexes, ESD students began developing their carpentry skills by building tiny homes, right on campus.

“This program didn’t always have the tiny house aspect to it. It’s a fairly new part of this program, so that’s also why I’m really excited about it,” Wilson said. “I get to be a part of that process and put my own stamp on it.”

Wilson began teaching the class in the beginning of the 202122 school year. Throughout his time teaching, his students began Senior Cody Snow secures the center roof beam of one of the tiny houses being constructed for the carpentry class.

building two tiny homes of their own, while also finishing an inherited tiny home that had not been completed from the previous year’s group of students due to the pandemic.

When Wilson and his first-year carpentry students inherited the tiny home, it had only been sheathed, meaning that all of the plywood was still on it. As a result, instead of learning how to build a house from the beginning, students put on the door, worked on the flooring, interior walls, insolation, roofing and worked to put the finishing touches on it.

“I’m really grateful for my first-year students this year, because to start learning carpentry on that level instead of learning from the ground up is harder,” Wilson said.

Although the process may have been a bit more difficult, Wilson’s students were more than up for the challenge. The inherited home is set to be fully complete before the end of the school year, and Wilson hopes that the other two will be close, too. Once complete, the homes will be donated to the Seattle Low Income Housing Institute.

“We donate these tiny homes to this program that provides transitional housing for families in struggle, or people that maybe need a place to live,” Wilson said. “It’s not intentional for the tiny houses to be permanent living situations, but providing space for families or people to get back into our communities and hopefully empowering them to make bigger steps and have their own space in the near future.”

For the students, knowing that the work they are doing is directly making an impact on the community has been incredibly motivating.

“Somebody will live in these [tiny homes] eventually, and it will hopefully bring a positive impact to their lives and be able to help them better themselves,” senior Cody Snow said. ”It feels really good to be able to come here every day and know that you’re not just building something that might get thrown away or not used.”

However, before the building can begin, students must first learn the basics. Therefore, the beginning of the year is devoted to working together as a class to get comfortable with the tools and procedures that carpenters need on the job each and every single day.

First, they learn about the importance of different types of safety equipment. Then, they begin learning to use hand tools.

After the class as a whole can demonstrate that they have the skills and abilities to use hand tools, Wilson moves on to power tools, which include chop saws, skill saws and table saws. He then creates simple assignments to teach his students how to read a tape measure, how to read a speed square and how to handle the basic tools used on the jobsite every day.

Many items are shipped to MTHS throughout the school year. Among them are carpentry materials, including 16 feet of lumber and full sheets of plywood. After students have demonstrated their ability to use the tools safely and efficiently, Wilson begins to help them read blueprints so that they can start cutting the material into the dimensions they will need to begin the building process.

“We get shipments of materials at the school in very large dimensions,” Wilson said. “I let our students start from there, and I help them learn how to read blueprints so that they can then cut the lumber to dimensions and then put together the tiny house.”

However, the class’s pacing depends heavily on the students. Wilson makes

ar, Wilson has taught all first-year care worked to cultivate their carpentry ampus. Next year, however, Wilson will

combine his first and second-year students to begin building a duplex from the ground up, approximately 10 minutes away from MTHS. “The first year is all about learning how to feel confident and comfortable with hand tools, power tools and using that confidence to build a tiny house,” Wilson said. “The hope and the intention is that when you come back and you take your second year, you are ready to go to work off site at our duplex.”

Thanks to this carpentry program, students thinking about a career in construction can begin working in the industry as early as the summer after their first year with the program. Some students, like senior Izrael Carbajal, joined the class for that exact reason.

“I wanted to learn how to build stuff, and I want to do this as a career, so I wanted to try it out to see if I liked it or not,” he said.

Others, like Snow, don’t necessarily want to work in the construction field after high school. Instead, they hope that the skills they learn in this program will help them with their own personal projects some day.

Snow will be playing baseball at Wenatchee Valley College, and is thinking about taking biology. However, he said he still will utilize the skills he has learned through the carpentry program in years to come.

“I really wanted to be able to take this class and learn more hands-on about carpentry, and maybe be able to build my own house one day,” he said.

The 2021-22 school year was both Carbajal and Snow’s first year with the carpentry program, and both said some of the most valuable skills they have learned in the class center around the correct way to do the work.

“I’d say that learning about stairs and how to make stairs has been a really important skill I’ve learned, and some of the basic safety things, like code requirements that you have to learn about while building, too,” Snow said. “It’s a lot easier to be able to do something, but to do it the right way is definitely important, and that’s something we definitely learn in this class.”

Wilson, considered an industry expert because of his many years of experience with carpentry, has been an excellent resource for them.

“Our teacher, Tony, has been doing a great job of helping everybody and making sure that you know what you’re doing, and when you do something wrong, it’s not negative feedback. It’s something you can improve on and learn, so I’ve really appreciated that about this class,” Snow said.

However, the journey that brought Wilson to this point was a circuitous one. Wilson grew up in a family running a karate school, and since he could walk, he was participating in martial arts.

He was introduced to carpentry early on, taking summer jobs in the industry in his high school years. However, he convinced himself that he didn’t want to go down the carpentry path.

“When I was in middle school and high school, I was being told that I can’t be a carpenter and I should actually go into computers, because there won’t be any future jobs for carpentry,” he said.

So, he explored other options, at one point thinking he wanted to go into

business. However, the more he explored that path, the more he realized he didn’t like the way working in sales made him feel.

While he was trying to figure out which route he wanted to take, he kept coming back to carpentry, landing an apprenticeship with a company in Ballard called Foss Maritime where he helped build boats for the coast guard from the ground up. As that company slowly began to dwindle, Wilson soon found himself working part time, which he did not want to do.

“It was the first time in my whole life I had ever had to work only part time on employment, and I just was not ready to live that way,” he said.

So, he left, moving to Colorado with the dream of starting his own martial arts school there. However, his time with Foss Maritime, as well as his studies of political science in college had started a question in his head. He wanted to know how one could live small, and also, how houses came together.

When he got to Colorado, he found himself building houses from the ground up with just one other person to help.

“After putting pieces together in Foss Maritime with the boats, I really wanted to know how houses came together,” he said.

When his friend sent him the job description for the carpentry teaching position in the ESD, Wilson was all in.

“When I heard about this program specifically building tiny houses and donating them to transitional living in Seattle, it got me really excited, because I felt like for the first time, I could use my skill set to make a difference,” he said.

Additionally, Wilson is excited about this program because of the impact it can have on students’ careers. He hopes that they can figure out what they want to do much faster than he was able to as a result of their experiences working hands-on in the trade.

“The most exciting part of this, to me, is the fact that you can walk out of high school with a career if you want to,” he said.

“And if you don’t want to do any kind of trade, these skills still can come in handy if you want to do a personal project for yourself or your family.” H

As this is the concluding How exactly do these problems “harm” the ocean? installment of my ocean ranting First, there are chemicals.

Oils, when our time together to discuss a consumed by animals (because they don’t know any betmatter of great importance. ter), can cause harmful defects that stunt growth and I love the ocean, as most of Rachel Davis this school can probOP-ED EDITOR ably guess by now.

Something is harming our oceans, and all of the great creatures and plants I’ve been writing about may be at risk because of this issue. That’s right, this is an ocean pollution awareness article.

Strap in.

In at least one point in many of our lives, I imagine the topic of ocean pollution has been mentioned. I personally have forced many of my peers to endure countless pollution presentations.

While ocean pollution itself comes from many small sources, all of it is tied to one connection: almost all of it comes from land.

According to the National Ocean Service, at least 80 percent of ocean pollution occurs from sources on land called nonpoint source polluPHUONG LAM | HAWKEYE tion. Nonpoint source pollution basically means

impair reproduction, if it doesn’t outright kill the animal.

Second, there are plastics. We’ve all seen that video of a turtle with a plastic straw stuck up its nose, right? If that turtle had not been helped, it would have eventually suffocated. Plastics don’t cause harm in the same way that chemicals do, but instead they stick around and refuse to decompose. Animals are most at risk from plastics when they accidentally eat the plastic or get stuck in things like nets.

If you’re going to take anything away from this series of obsessing over the ocean, then take this.

One: ocean animals are cool and weird. They aren’t made like other creatures on land. Some of them don’t have bones, some are just made of straight up jelly mush. They are fascinating to research and oddly terrifying to read about. Please find out about some weird sea animals on your own, and come tell me in person about them.

Two: the ocean is delicate, and we have not been taking good care of it. If this pattern continues, all of these wonderful creatures and many more will be at great risk. I can’t tell you, or anyone, to “ just do better,” but I can raise awareness and hopefully encourage some of you to research how to do your part in protecting the ocean.

Don’t do it for me.

Do it for the sharks, the orcas, the football fish, and everything that lives in the depths that we can only dream of being in. H

AAPI Heritage Month: from past to present

By Mika Raring HAWKEYE STAFF

I

t’s May again, and that means it’s AAPI Heritage Month. You may be thinking: what in the world is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month and why should I care? Fear no more, I am here to give a much too simplified overview.

I want to start off this article by saying there is so much to this subject and there is no way I can cram even a small fraction of the topic into six hundred words, but this is meant to be a broad enlightenment to those who might want to know more.

Let’s begin at a very basic but critical point: what is AAPI Heritage Month and who does it include? Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, or AAPI Heritage Month, takes place during May and is meant to commemorate the historical and cultural contributions of the individuals and groups included in the groups “Asian” and “Pacific Islanders.” The AAPI title includes people from the entire continent of Asia, as well as the Pacific Island groups of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.

Most people think of East Asia (such as China or Japan) when they think of “Asia.” But Asia includes Southeast Asia (such as Vietnam, the Philippines, and Cambodia) as well as South Asia (such as India and Sri Lanka) and Central Asia (such as Tajikistan and Uzbekistan).

Similarly, when people think of “Pacific Islands” they tend to think first of Hawaii. The Pacific Islands include the regions of Micronesia (such as Guam and the Marshall Islands), Melanesia (such as Fiji and Papua New Guinea), and Polynesia (such as New Zealand and Samoa).

Now let’s talk U.S. history. In the past, Asian immigrants have faced many obstacles in coming to the U.S. For example, Chinese immigrants working on the construction of

the American railroad prompted the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, which banned Chinese laborers and women from entering the country and severely limited those who were not laborers. Congress passed another immigration law in 1917, banning people from China, India, Thailand, Malaysia, and many other Asian countries. However, one case that has continued to resonate for other generations of immigrants from any country was the case of Wong Kim Ark, an American-born son of Chinese immigrants. Just after the Chinese Exclusion Act, he went to China to visit family, only to find that he was not allowed back into the U.S. As a result of his court case, the Fourteenth Amendment confirmed that he was a U.S. citizen because he was born in San Francisco, paving the way for future children born in the U.S. from immigrant parents to be recognized as U.S. citizens. Other laws challenged the ability of Asian Americans to settle in America, continually excluding and alienating them from the rest of the population.

In 1942, after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in WWII, President Roosevelt signed an executive order forcing all Japanese Americans on the West Coast (about 120,000 people) into internment camps, even though only a very small amount of the German American and Italian American population who had ties to enemy countries during WWII were interned.

The U.S. also had issues with how Pacific Island communities were treated historically. During WWII, the Republic of the Marshall Islands in Micronesia was devastatingly used as a nuclear test site, destroying islands, exposing many to radiation, and forcing whole populations to move from their homelands due to the unlivable conditions caused by these experiments.

The U.S. also had a hand in the overthrow of the

Hawai’ian monarchy in 1898 when it annexed the Hawai’ian Islands as a territory. Many controversies in the Pacific Islands are going on even today, such as the Mauna Kea protests over building telescopes on sacred Native Hawai’ian land.

Although the U.S. has made efforts to correct past wrongs – for example, the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 acknowledged the violations of civil liberties and granted reparations to the Japanese Americans interned during WWII – traces and effects of past discrimination can be seen all around today, throughout the media, on the streets, and in the news.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, AAPI hate crimes have increased 149 percent from previous years.

Racism doesn’t only come in the form of hate crimes, however. Through the media fetishization, stereotypes and trends such as the “fox eye” makeup trend have all contributed to AAPI objectification and hate.

Now, what is the best way to help this cause and spread awareness about the topic? Although it can take the form of donating and reposting, spreading awareness is not limited to doing something for other people. Even just educating yourself and checking your privilege can make a difference in how you view certain situations or recognize that something is wrong.

I think one of the most important things that AAPI Heritage Month should teach people is that within the terms “Asian” and “Pacific Islands” there are thousands of different cultures and we need to recognize how all of them have helped society grow into what it is today.

I don’t claim to know everything about Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, but I think that’s what makes it so important to take these opportunities as a chance to learn more. H

Tradition triumphs at Terrace

By Kaylee Miyamoto HAWKEYE STAFF

Across the country, a tradition has taken place among high school seniors called “Senior Assassin,” a game in which participants compete for a pool of money. This year’s seniors are partaking in this tradition, but with a few differences from previous years.

The competition is a senior-only game in which individuals or duos are anonymously assigned another duo or individual to “eliminate” in each round, which lasts a week. The elimination varies school by school, sometimes using markers or water guns, but most commonly using Nerf guns. To enter, seniors must pay a sum which is added to the winner pool, growing bigger the more people compete.

At MTHS, the competition has been organized for several years. Unaffiliated with the school, it is arranged by students who help set up and moderate the game by assigning targets, enforcing rules and making sure the competition runs smoothly. This year, senior Lindsey Ho has taken on the challenge of coordinating the game, which she started in April. Ho has made adjustments to

the rules, which differ from other years, to balance the health regulations with the fun of the game.

Some of the additions to the game in effect for this year’s competition include purge hours, safety items and buy-backs. Safety items, which make the player immune to being shot, are reassigned each round, and cannot be removed by other players. This immunity lasts the entire week until the purge hours, where for about a day, any player still in can eliminate their target even if a safety item is present. In some rounds, buy-backs allow an eliminated player to get back into the game by paying a certain amount of money.

Additional rules in place for this year’s competition state that no “assassinations” can be made on school grounds, any ESD campuses or events, places of worship, or while working in a workplace. To confirm an “assassination,” a video must be taken and sent to this year’s Senior Assassin Instagram account (@terraceseniorassassin2022).

Historically, the weapon of choice at MTHS has been a Nerf gun, and 2022 is no different. This year’s weapon must be a single shot Nerf gun with rubber-tipped bullets and no modifications. To help players find their targets, all players have Snapchat’s “Snap Maps’’ enabled to show their recent locations at any time. If a player’s Snap Map is not on during an “assassination,” it does not count.

This year’s game, which started on April 18, has had 3 rounds, and as of May 15, 37 “assassinations” have taken place, with some players eliminated for not eliminating their target.

Locations of this year’s “assassinations” have included a local Costco, a gym and many of the players’ homes.

Safety items are chosen by the player from a select list with the goal to

make the player stand out in some way. Choices include bright wigs, the combination of a tutu, sunglasses, and a toilet plunger, or even just having a current freshman within six feet of the player. After the first round, buybacks opened for $8 per person to add to the prize pool of money that the last player standing will win.

With the wig as an immunity item, concern about safety arose within the first week, when some players forced the wigs off of others.

“The rule of being able to take off another player’s wig is now illegal because people are doing it in a violent manner,” Ho later posted in a statement online. “You cannot physically restrict another player to eliminate them, as it is illegal to physically restrict a person against their will.”

Being the only coordinator has proven difficult, with Ho having to deal with situations such as the wig incident, as well as answering any questions that might have been unclear in the rules.

The class of 2021 seniors had their own game, although it was much smaller compared to years past due to hybrid learning and disconnection in the community during COVID-19. Despite this, it marked the return to the community since before the pandemic. After six rounds over six weeks, the winners were Luke Jones and Micael Hollenbeck, who had to cope with very similar rules coordinated by Julie Porras and Tiffany Vuong. COVID-19 guidelines were incorporated into the game rules and disclaimers for the players as safety and health precautions.

The pandemic and shift into quarantine eradicated any option of a senior assassin game for 2020 graduates, an unfortunate but necessary call. Over the course of the pandemic, it has become clear how important positive high school memories are, and traditions such as senior assassin only add to them. This year may be the first “normal” competition in years, and while waiting to see who wins, it’s important to keep in mind the people behind the scenes who made it possible. H

Bathroom reconfiguration a step toward gender-inclusivity

By Kaylee Miyamoto HAWKEYE STAFF

MTHS will soon have its first and so far only gender-neutral bathrooms, but the exact time they’ll be put in place is still not known.

This is one step the school and district are taking to be more inclusive of queer-gendered students, and to introduce something new to the school community.

Many schools across the nation have been introducing gender-neutral bathrooms to be more inclusive, providing a safer and more comfortable space.

Gender-neutral bathrooms can be used by any student regardless of gender, and those who do not identify with the binary genders can have their own safe space. This comes as efforts to make safer and more inclusive environments has become a focus at Terrace.

“We want to do some small physical changes to the bathroom. We want to communicate it out to folks adequately, so my hope is as soon as possible,” Principal Greg Schellenberg said about when the bathrooms

For Spencer, the prospect would be ready.

“It is a pretty of a gender-neutral bathroom Many students were solid idea and means that they can go in unaware of the future of a a good step between classes throughout gender-neutral bathroom, forward for many the day without worry. but those in the LGBTQ+ LGBT+ students at “My first thoughts are that I community have been waitTerrace.” can finally go in between classing for this day for a long Atticus Sumabat FRESHMAN es, but until that day comes, time.

well in the end. It’s something we all need to get used to so things like this in society can be more common and accessible,” he said.

For years, LGBTQ+ students have requested gender-neutral bathrooms, and according to Schellenberg, the Edmonds School District hopes to make this step collectively to help more students feel safe in their schools.

“I know a couple of high schools are on the same page and trying to get in. Eventually, I know the district is interested in providing that space,” Schellenberg said. “Hopefully bringing the same push forward in having a more comfortable space beyond just the high school, and maybe even lower-grade schools.”

The date for the transition is unknown.

However, the plan is that the new bathrooms will replace the two bathrooms inside the music hallway. Higher stall walls will be added in order to make the bathrooms as comfortable for students as possible, and MTHS administrators are dedicated to ensuring students feel safe. H

HAWKEYE STAFF

The Scenario

Maybe you have one of those tricky three-way switches in your home or apartment – you know, the kind where more than one light switch controls the fixture and depending on which switch you flip, both up and down can mean “on” or “off.” Kind of frustrating.

Well, in this scenario, you are in a room with five lights controlled by five switches. Each light can be activated when the correct combination of switches is flipped.

Here are some facts: • Light 1 turns on when switches 1 and 2 are activated but not 4 • Light 2 turns off when switches 3 or 5 are activated • Light 3 turns on when switches 2 or 3 are activated but not both

Your Task

How do you turn on only light 3?
