School to start earlier beginning in 2011-2012 Enrollment continues to decline at a steady rate affecting everything from the budget to staffing, programs to school supplies

By AnhViet Nguyen News Editor

Although the current school year is still in session, many major changes are coming to MTHS for 2011-2012.

One of the most discussed changes regards the school’s earlier start time. The official start time will be 7:20 a.m. beginning with first period, as opposed to the previous start time of 7:45 a.m. The state now requires schools to offer 1000 hours of instruction per year. Tutorial had been counted as part of the 1000 hours, but that is no longer the case.

“As a staff we are looking at ways to create time in our schedule next year so that students will have access to teachers for extra help, test make-ups, etc.,” Principal Greg Schwab said. “That time will need to be a part of the school day so we can count it as meeting the 1000 hour requirement.”

The decline in student population will have a variety of effects next year. Enrollment is projected to be at 1270 students compared to over 1300 students from the 2010-2011 school year. Therefore, the school population decrease has directly affected the school’s budget.

“Probably the biggest impact to our budget has been due to our decline in enrollment. As we shrink in population, we’ve had to adjust our teaching and classified staff accordingly,” Schwab said. “This is where students will probably notice the biggest changes for next year.”

As the school’s population struggles to increase, fewer teachers are needed. Cynthia Lane (learning support), Stacey Kinnear (English) and Shannon Ripley (sports medicine) will be departing MTHS. Ryan Niman (Humanities), Dory Weber (social studies) and Tammy Reilly (foreign language) will be teaching at Terrace part time – at least that’s what is currently planned.

Fewer programs will also be offered as well. For example, the Sports Medicine Program will not be offered next year since there is not enough funding for the class. Despite the loss of some programs, more advanced classes will be offered.

“We are offering more advanced classes than ever before and our school has received national recognition from the Washington Post as a top public high school in the country because of the strength of our honors and AP programs,” Schwab said. “I think our school is as strong as ever, but the loss of programs certainly hurts.”

A showcase of artistry

The performing and visual arts took center stage at the annual arts assembly

By Devyn Cox Senior staff

Students from all corners of Terrace displayed art ranging from paintings, to clay pots, to music, to dance, to photography as part of the annual arts assembly.

The choirs, led by T.J. Sullivan, included Accents who sang a rendition of Radiohead’s “Creep” while Dynamics did an a cappella version of Owl City’s “Fireflies.”

The combined bands, under the direction of Darin Faul, did a reflection on the Korean War titled “Inchon,” while Jazz I performed “Rockin’ in Rhythm.”

The Orchestra performed “Seven Scottish Airs” directed by Jennifer Schillen.

Jon Ummel, English teacher, narrated the event and opened many people’s hearts to appreciate the passions of their peers and faculty members.

Throughout the event, Ummel surprised the student body with

facts about the faculty members and their artistic passions.

The Hawk Broadcasting Network provided a montage of two-dimensional student art, as well as a firstever live feed from just outside the Terraceum where several students were making clay pots and glass beads.

Tim Cashman, pottery and photography teacher, led a lineup of students displaying their pieces from his pottery class.

Overall the assembly was a success as it opened the eyes to many students about the extraordinary artists who grace the Terrace hallways everyday. It reminded people that you don’t have to be a painter to be an artist.

According to actress Stella Adler, “Life beats down and crushes the soul, and art reminds you that you have one.” That quote was included in a rapid-fire video that kicked off the assembly asking students “What is your art?”

Randy Dorn’s legislation will delay the science assessment requirement until the class of 2015 – this year’s 8th graders – instead of the class of 2013.

“I think there are some advantages to having a test that measures how well students have done in science,” science teacher Adam Welman said. “Should it be a graduation requirement? I’m not so sure.”

The bill will allow for a transition from the comprehensive science HSPE to an end-of-course exam in biology in 2012. The exam will be similar to the recently developed math end-of-course exam.

“Math teachers have already begun the process of adapting curriculum and teaching strategies to make sure that

students learn the standards in Algebra and Geometry that they will be tested on in the EOC,” Principal Greg Schwab said. “I think the same thing will be true for Science.”

Dorn’s bill would give an additional two years to implement end-of-course exams in earth and integrated science and review common core standards in science. The measure signed into law could save the state as much as $20 million.

Class of 2013 and 2014 students are no longer required to pass the science assessment as a graduation requirement.

For the class of 2015 and beyond, students are required to pass reading, writing, two end-of-course math exams and a biology end-of-course exam to graduate.

Vandalism hits Terrace

By Peter Kidane Hawkeye staff

MTHS was tagged with graffiti with explicit language. There were two pieces of graffiti sprayed on the walls when students arrived at school on May 20.

The first piece of graffiti was on the prominent wall left of the entrance bridge, but is currently covered. The second tagged piece was under the entrance bridge and has been painted over.

“It makes our school look dirty,” Assistant Principal Scott Morrison said.

The administration said that they hope the newly-installed security cameras will help them figure out who committed the act of vandalism.

“Sometimes spray painting can be a symptom of or lead to activities that would not be helpful for student learning,” Morrison said. While administrators continue to ponder why the incident happened, some students seem indifferent.

“Well, it’s illegal to do it on someone else’s property. I don’t really care,” senior Owen Fritz said.

A wall near the front of the school to the left of the entrance bridge was spray tagged on May 20.

The wall was covered a few days after the incident. Now, white paint is in place of the spray paint.

lint Eastwood said, “Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline.

When you have both firmly under your belt, that’s real power.”

Take a minute and be honest, do we—as a generation—have any self respect at all? We go around every day making crude jokes and disgusting comments about anything Tabetha Sheppard and everything. Our HAWKEYE staff language is vulgar and horrible, and it makes us, again as a generation, sloppy, lazy, and in general, gross.

Even though we don’t realize it as students, we are entering a world of professionals, and some of us will be the future leaders of society. If we allow our peers to get away with the actions that they participate in,

what are we going to allow the next generation to do?

It’s a scary thing to imagine, and to be honest I don’t want to think that it could get worse, but it can. We allow ourselves as girls to walk out of the house looking less than the best, when women before us would not leave the house without lipstick and pearls. Boys have their pants to their ankles and consistently shout obscenities. Yet years ago, these people would be reprimanded and told to leave for crude behavior.

Some say we can’t help it, some say it’s part of our culture. Of course we can refrain from this behavior, but, on the other hand it is in fact a major part of the new culture. But cultures, like fashion, come and go; we caused this change in the first place, we can choose through our actions to revert to a more organized and dignified time when girls were ladies, and boys were gentlemen.

Respect is always a great idea, but we take it for granted when we call our teachers degrading names and then wonder why we have such deplorable grades.

We abuse our freedom when our parents are trying to speak to us and we give them lip.

Our freedom is a responsibility that must be maintained, not abused as it has been and still is by the current generation.

s the seniors look forward to graduation and, in turn, the end of their high school careers, juniors and underclassmen groan in anticipation of the end of the year. Instead of escaping the confines of the school a day and a half after the seniors, the rest of the district gets to sit through an additional four days of senior-less high school, adding nearly an entire school week to the post-graduation schedule. Whether the rest of the student body enjoys these final government mandated days rests in the hands of the glorious faculty of Mountlake Terrace High School.

Magnificently entertained

C

oming from the senior Hawkeye members, we always look forward to our last assemblies at MTHS. This years’ Arts Assembly was spectacular. Our school demonstrates so much in terms of artistic talent that we were in awe of the work on display. The band sounded unbelievable. It’s no surprise they placed at Essentially Ellington. The Dynamics singing Owl City’s “Fireflies” dropped jaws, as our school is good enough to be in Glee.

The orchestra flowed beautifully, each component of the group complementing another. And it is amazing how one person can take a brick of clay and turn it into a piece so professional it could be sold at an exhibition. No one expects the talent that our classmates really have. Having such a incredible arts assembly shows that there is more than just book reports and essays going on in the halls of MTHS. Congratulations to those who put so much time and effort into the arts.

A final goodbye

Letter From the Editor: My name is Devyn Cox and I was the editor for the Mountlake Terrace High School newspaper The Hawkeye for the 2010-2011 school year, and it has been an honor. This year The Hawkeye has had to deal with stolen equipment and budget cuts, but we managed to overcome these struggles and remain the award-winning publication our audience expects and deserves. The journalism program here has helped countless students achieve goals they have never imagined, from going to college to traveling the world. Vince DeMiero, the adviser of The Hawkeye “for a long time,” has been the heart and soul of this publication and an amazing mentor. Although my reign is over, the excellence in photography and articles that cover our community’s interests will continue. So “thank you’s” are necessary to the audience for their continued support; not only the staff at Terrace, but also the community.

raduation. This word means different things to different people. It can be the most exciting word for those of us who have managed to maneuver through high school and somehow came up on top; for others who were not as lucky it’s just dreadful. But the staff here at MTHS have helped countless students make it to this day, offering extra credit, allowing them to make up tests, and being there to cheer them on when the future looked grim and filled with late nights and little progress.

Graduation is not the lyrics to a Vitamin C song; it’s the memories, the learning, and the fun that happened at Terrace.

Thank you and a look ahead

Farewell, Class of 2011

don’t know about you but I feel nostalgic. It’s been a long year and much like you, I’m ready for summer break to arrive.

At the same time, this year has been full of memorable and unforgettable events from AnhViet Nguyen beginning ASB Public Relations Officer to end.

Now, June is a busy and exciting month, especially for the outgoing senior class.

The last day for seniors is on June 15 and ends with the Moving Up Assembly, while graduation takes place on June 16 at Edmonds Stadium, 6:30 p.m. Seniors, congratulations on surviving many, many years of schooling and good luck with all of your future endeavors.

Before I continue on, I should probably introduce myself. My name is AnhViet Nguyen and I am your ASB Public Relations Officer. As Stew alluded to in the previous issue of The Hawkeye, I will be taking over this column for the upcoming year. Don’t worry Stew, you did a fantastic job writing this column.

Even though this year was eventful and wonderful, get ready for an amazing 2011-2012 school year. I realize that every elected ASB officer makes that promise every year but we are striving for excellence. High expectations are better than low expectations.

My fellow Big 6 officers and all of the class officers and reps are ready to make next year special but we can’t do it alone.

Feel free to speak to your officers and reps about ways how we, together, can make MTHS an even better place than it already is. In addition, keep an eye out for an ASB Facebook page and web-site (linked to the school’s homepage) for announcements.

As I mentioned earlier, there have been a lot of great moments this year. But you can’t have a memorable year without the support of dedicated and motivated

people. On behalf of ASB, I would like to issue a few rounds of thank you messages.

I apologize if I missed anyone; your contributions are still important and greatly appreciated.

Thank you to the administration and staff members for spending countless hours helping and preparing students for success in the classroom. Your creativity, passion, and leadership has inspired students to strive for excellence.

Thank you to the coaches and advisors for spending additional time outside of the classroom to help students pursue their extracurricular passions.

Extracurricular activities certainly break up the monotony of academic life.

Thank you to the parents who have supported student success. You have a tremendous impact on the students and your contributions to MTHS are greatly appreciated.Thank you to the community members who have supported the accomplishments of MTHS students.

Thank you to for allotting a column for ASB in the opinion section. As the ASB Public Relations Officer, having a spot in the newspaper (a superlative one I might add) to inform the student body is always a plus.

Lastly, thank you to the students.

Terrace is such a great place when everybody is caring and looking out for each other. I love Terrace.

Well, I hope you all have had a wonderful year and again, congratulations seniors. For the rest of you who are returning to MTHS next year, I hope you have a restful and relaxing summer. Do something fun, stay out of trouble, and remember to live life. Before you know it, school will be back in session and you’ll be putting away your sunglasses and sunscreen.

By the way, it’s not too late to sign my yearbook.

Mental illnesses; uncensored

By Terrah Short 425 Editor

According to an article written by the A Source of Hope for All Touched by Mental Illness International, 25 percent of the world’s population has one or more mental disorders during their lifetime.

Many mental disorders are very misunderstood, especially by adolescents, one of those being Tourettes syndrome. Psychologists Annette Taylor and Patricia Kowalski, at the University of San Diego, found that 65 percent of undergraduates believed that people with Tourettes make obscene gestures and swear all the time.

But in actuality, according to Tourettes Action, UK, only ten percent of people with Tourettes have coprolalia, swearing uncontrollably.

Tourettes syndrome is sometimes referred to as Multiple Tic Disorder or Tic Spectrum Disorder, this is related to the fact that the main features of Tourettes syndrome are uncontrollable and involuntary sounds and movements. The most common being simple vocal tics, such as repetitive throat clearing, sniffing, or grunting sounds, and simple motor tics, like sudden, brief, and repetitive movements that involve a limited number of muscle groups, such as eye blinking, facial grimacing, shoulder shrugging, or head/shoulder jerking.

One out of every hundred with Tourettes syndrome will experience only these mild symptoms.

Tourettes syndrome can also take a complex form, and this involves more than one muscle group or a pattern of movements, like sniffing/touching objects, hopping, jumping, bending, and twisting. Complex vocal tics

include words or phrases.

Most tics are worsened in times of anxiety or excitement, and tics do not stop during sleep but are toned down significantly. Luckily, only ten percent of Tourettes syndrome sufferers will continue to into adulthood.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder is a chronic mental illness where a sufferer will obsessively think about a flaw in appearance, usual a minor, imagined or exaggerated one.

Also, they have a strong belief that their “abnormality” or “defect” makes them ugly, and they tend to either constantly look at themselves in the mirror or completely avoid them.

Some people would misunderstand this disorder and say they are either fishing for compliments and trying to get attention, or they have low self-esteem and need to buck up and get over it, but the reality is it is just as much of a clinical illness as depression or bipolar. Body Dysmorphic disorder is usually a result of imbalanced brain chemistry, underdeveloped brain, genetics, and the environment.

Untreated Body Dysmorphic Disorder can lead to suicidal tendencies, hospitalizations, obsessive compulsive disorder, social phobia, eating disorders, excessive plastic surgery, and depression. Body Dysmorphic Disorder should be taken seriously because it can be very debilitating.

Mental disorders are very real and serious illnesses that affect many people at different times in life. It is important to be informed of the symptoms and to erase misconceptions that could make the difference for sufferers and their support systems.

artist Abby Mitton

he has won prestigious Scholastic Arts and Writing awards statewide and nationally for her drawing and received an impressive scholarship for Pacific Northwest College of Art all by her senior year.

Abby Mitton’s submitted drawing was voted gold medal statewide, then won silver medal nationally in the Scholastic Arts and Writing Award competition. Others who received this award in high school include iconic pop artist Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, author of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, fashion designer Zac Posen, and photographer Richard Avedon.

Students in the U.S., Canada, or an American school abroad in grades seven to twelve could submit their art and writing pieces according to artandwriting.org, the awards website.

Works chosen for Gold Keys on the regional level are forwarded for national-level review where they have the opportunity to earn silver and gold medals. Eighteen students in the state of Washington received silver or gold medals and Mitton was one of the select few as listed on the website. “It’s really, really nice that I got honored for it, so I appreciate it,” she commented.

Mitton’s remarkable drawing was of the back of a man who came in and modeled for a teen intensive last summer held at the Gage Academy of Art on Capitol Hill. The intensive was four consecutive weeks. “It’s… like taking a class for a long period of time” said Mitton.

“I used money out of my bank account and

I paid…around one thousand dollars….to learn how to paint and do drawing.” “We got to work on it longer than the other sketches we did,” said Abby about the drawing.

Abby also accepted a thirty six thousand dollar dean’s award scholarship for Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon. It was granted to her for applying after her portfolio and essays were looked over. She plans to major in painting, illustration, or fine arts.

Abby’s senior project also involved art. She learned how to oil paint and painted a teapot with little teacups. “I’ve been drawing since I was a little kid and I’ve always loved it…” stated Abby. She enjoys hanging out with friends, drawing, and painting.

The nonprofit Alliance for Young Artists & Writers presented its first traveling exhibition at an occasion at the Seattle Art Museum on Friday, March 18 according to mltnews.com.

Mitton’s drawing titled “The Cyclist” was one of the works in the exhibition. The Alliance for Young Artists and Writers also recognized national winners at a ceremony in New York City’s Carnegie Hall on May 31 states the Schack Art Center website. According to mltnews.com, Abby attended the ceremony with MTHS art teacher, Linda Bennitt.

Mayor Bloomberg declared May 31 as the official Scholastic Art and Writing Awards Day. The top of the Empire State building was lit gold to celebrate students’ achievements states schack.org.

unique in every way Class of 2011 Senior Features

academics Varman Joseph

V

arman Joseph is just one of many seniors this year graduating at Mountlake Terrace High School, but his story is a one-of-a-kind. He and his family are from Sri Lanka, a small island off the coast of India. He speaks Tamil, the minority language group of the people in Sri Lanka. His kind hearted personality shines through during the interview, while he answers questions on how to say certain words.

Joseph, all smiles, goes into detail about his time at Terrace having been involved in wrestling, and music. Joseph wrestled for all of his four years at Terrace, and took band, jazz band, and jazz 2 for three of his four years at MTHS playing French Horn, Trumpet, a little guitar, and a smidge of Ukelele.

Joseph said that music helped him academically when in high school saying, “Yeah, I think music helps people intellectually. I don’t know, I think it kind of opens your mind to different things.”

Joseph also shared his opinion when asked if music could be seen as having healing powers saying that, music can give a kind of experience that can change you are mood and ease your mind when you are stressed.

Joseph shared with Hawkeye, serious topics he faced, such as stereotyping.

Joseph said that during his time at Terrace he had faced problems with MTHS faculty and was the subject of stereotyping with his appearances and his outside interest of music. The faculty thought that he would not pass with more than a D, or even pass at all. Joseph has proved those at MTHS false and did this by working hard, staying determined and staying on track.

After the denouement of graduation and one final summer, Joseph plans to go to WWU and study green technology and work further to make the planet a little more environmentally friendly. Joseph wants to do this through studying new methods in using the power in the ocean and seeing if new technologies can come from using the power in waves through an energy transfer. Joseph also shared, still with smiles, that he wanted to look into studying other methods of green technology including ways of filtering clean air and cutting down on our uses of chemicals to make everyday products greener.

Joseph’s bright and friendly personality will be missed at MTHS, but his goals will help those in our community to be better aware of the planet.

leadership Anam Masih

enior, Anam Masih is one of the unique individuals walking the halls of Terrace, born in Lahor Pakistan, Masih moved to the United States when she was one. If you have ever spent anytime with Anam you know that her passion is helping people, whether she is offering to tutor someone in math, or to participate in a last minute senior project you know she is someone you can depend on.

Masih uses her nurturing instinct to reach out and attempt to make everyone feel comfortable. While at Terrace Masih was involved in sports; volleyball and tennis along with ASB, Key Club, and also helped out with Invisible Children.

Shoreline Community College will be graced with Masih’s presence in the fall of 2011. Masih plans to be a nurse she believes this will be the best way for her to give back to society.

Her motherly instinct comes from the example her parents presented “We’re a really helpful family whenever someone needs

help we’ll always be there for them.” Although Masih has lived here almost her entire life she has not lost her culture.

“Some traditional things we do is at parties usually Christmas or those special holidays all of us go to a family members house and we would all prepare a traditional Indian style dish. So, that we can celebrate all of us coming together.”

As the second to graduate but the first to attend a commencement ceremony the Masih family is buzzing with excitement, “I’m excited I am the second to graduate in my family.

This is an actual graduation, my sister was home-schooled her junior and senior year. So she didn’t go through all this ceremony.

Making me, the first actual graduation, and then attending college so it’s a big deal for my parents. Over all, they’re really excited for me.” Masih is one of the many intelligent, determined, and inspiring young women graduating this year.

theatrics Ryan Woodyard

W

hen somebody thinks of Ryan Woodyard, they think of his goofy, funny, benevolent personality, his acting out of “Love Story” by Taylor Swift and, of course, drama. Ryan has made himself eminent at MTHS by his acting.

He had always been interested in drama but actually started at the end of his sophomore year when his sister told him to audition for the show “Harvey”. He said, about Harvey, “Which is a show that I liked, so I tried out and I got in and I’ve been in drama ever since then”.

Oddly, he said “Nothing really inspired me, I was really told to act”.

Since he was a sophomore, Ryan has been in seven plays. He said “well, it started out with “Harvey” that was my sophomore year. Then in junior year “Exit the Body”, then the “25th Annual Putnum County Spelling Bee” and then after that it was the “Diary of Ann-Frank” and then this year it was “Larry and the Werewolf” then it was “Almost Maine” and finally “Back to the 80’s”.” But Ryan has only been singing since this year. To many people’s surprise Ryan said that “I

don’t really consider myself talented at all”.

But other than acting he does have other talents. He plays the viola in Chamber Orchestra and sings in the Dynamics for school. He can also play the ukulele. In thought about his acting and singing, he said “I am alright with it. I could always do better. People say that I’m good but I think I’m not good at all”, which could be a big shocker to people who have seen him act and sing. When most people see Ryan, they see a goofy funny guy. It’s hard to imagine him with a serious side with that fun loving personality. But he does have one.

“Well, it’s serious” He said with a smile while trying to describe his serious side. He takes his acting and the plays that he is in very seriously.

He is very dedicated to his acting and to his musical skills. When preparing for a show, he is very dedicated into giving the audience a great show. He is mostly involved with drama and school in his day to day life. Ryan plans to pursue drama and music in his future. He is going to Shoreline Community College to study theater education and musical education for orchestra.

robotics Emilie Woog

R

obotics has been the biggest impact of anything on my life. It’s taken my passion, which is working with things, working with my hands, and it’s something that I can actually do all the time. And working with people, getting to meet a lot of cool people, like the Blue Angels,” Emilie Woog, a graduating senior from MTHS said. The Blue Angels are currently the oldest formal flying aerobatic team which flies jets at Seafair.

Emilie Woog, class of 2011, is going to the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago next year. Her plans for the future include working with NASA or Boeing, and working with planes. She plans to major in Aerospace and Chemical Engineering.

“For me, being a senior means I’m done, I’m almost done. It’s amazing because I get to help out all the underclassmen. I can’t wait to go out into the world and help other people, and move across the country to Illinois.”

Right after graduation, she is going to travel to Europe along with a group of friends and Mr. Ellinger for an AP Euro trip.

Emilie has also won some very outstanding awards throughout her high school career. She has won: the CTE Pre- engineering award, for participating in

robotics and Project Lead the Way. She is also the first female from MTHS to graduate from Project Lead the Way. She won the American Associate of University Women of Washington award, for her excellent grades and working in the field of technology. Last year, she won the First Dean’s List award, as well.

“Winning this award means that I exemplified what First was looking for in students, I’m proud to be known so well in the First Community”.

Emilie has gotten over 15,000 dollars worth of scholarship through robotics. She was a member of the MTHS JV Soccer Team, National Honors Society, and had at least a 3.6 GPA since her sophomore year.

“I have to say my high school career was pretty successful because I knew in 8th grade that I wanted to go to Engineering, no matter what. I’m glad that I went to MTHS”.

“To upcoming high schoolers, you need to find something that you are passionate about. Finding something that you are passionate about gives you the opportunity to figure out what you want to do with your life before everyone else does. So when they’re all struggling to figure things out, you’re pretty set”.

outdoorsman Dillon Green

D

illon Green is a student at Terrace who is known for his love of adventure and the outdoors. This skilled 19-year old cleverly fashioned a chandelier, coat rack, and two lamps made out of multiple deer antlers for his senior project. He had collected the antlers from hunting and hiking trips since he was in 6th grade.

A self-proclaimed hunter, born and raised Green learned a lot about his passion for the outdoors from his father.

Mark Walker, the Jewelry and Metals teacher at MTHS, has also assisted Dillon by providing him with all the tools and experience he needed to be successful in Jewelry and Metal Design in high school and beyond. Walker taught Green everything he needed to know in the short span of three years. Working with jewelry and metals has become a creative outlet for Green.

In his free time, Dillon also spends time

in the wild hunting, fishing, hiking, and taking in the nature all around him. So it’s not surprising that one of Dillon’s favorite places is Republic, a scenic city in eastern Washington half a mile from the Canadian border. The city is located in Ferry County and it was named after the Republic Mine, which held a sizeable amount of gold. A very energetic person, Dylan also enjoys working out in the weight room and is very athletic.

As for future plans, Dillon is considering attending a trade school to learn how to create objects using sheet metal.

Although he’s not quite sure what his post-high school plans are, Dillon is sure to remain a true outdoorsman with a deep rooted love of nature.

According to Dillon, his time at Terrace has been long but fun and these were his parting words: It feels very wonderful to be a 2011 graduate and I look forward to doing other things in life.

volunteer Jessica Lindsay

J

essica Lindsay is a hardworking, talented senior here at MTHS, who has acquired many astounding achievements.

One accomplishment of Jessica’s was her placement among the top seven winners at the WMEA State Solo and Ensemble Competition for oboe. She also won first place in the WMEA Regional Solo Competition.

Jessica enjoys track, cross-country, (both of which she’s been on for 4 years), leading worship with her youth group by playing oboe, and animal photography.

Her love of animals led Jessica to start volunteering at the Outback Kangaroo Farm.

She also works as an intern for the Woodland Park Zoo’s tropical rainforest.

Jessica’s very passionate about animals, so she chose to do her senior project on lemur conservation. “…I developed surveys that asked about how interested people were in supporting lemur conservation programs and how attached they felt to lemurs personally, and I gave the surveys to people at Woodland Park Zoo, Point Defiance, and the Kangaroo Farm and did a study of how people’s experiences there seeing lemurs affects their desire to help the species in the wild, because so many animals are endangered right now.”

ASB Ben Rabine

any students may know Ben Rabine as the Senior Class President for the Class of 2011. He has played an active role in ASB this year, planning major school events such as Terrace Idol, TOLO, and Prom.

Unofficially a representative in past years, he enjoyed helping out and wanted to continue to be a part of this organization. With last year’s ASB graduates as an inspiration, he officially joined ASB and came to hold the position of senior class president.

Apart from being involved in ASB, Rabine is also an aspiring artist. Art has always been an interest of his, from drawing when he was young to, more recently, spray painting in high school. “It was just a good outlet for me and it is something that has always been inspired by my dad,” Rabine explains. “He’s the reason why I got into art.” Rabine’s dad passed away

when he was in 6th grade, and that’s when, Rabine says, “I really got into art.” Although Rabine was close with his deceased father, he has a strong support system behind him. Being close with his mother and sister has helped and impacted him. His aunt and uncle, whom he stayed with in Cle Elum for nine months, have helped him through a lot; he is very close with them as well.

Rabine first started a spray painting career his freshman year and continues to use this medium, among others.

He still continues to draw as well. For the past two years he has been a member of the Art Club here at Terrace.

Works of his have been displayed here at the school.

Rabine is uncertain at the moment whether he wants to go to art school or what he wants to study. He plans on going to community college to figure out what path he wants to take, and then transfer to another school.

senior feature credits It took several people quite a while to put together this Senior Feature – a Hawkeye tradition. Here is this year’s crew: Tanner Gregory, photographer Angela Woodbrook, photographer & writer Devyn Cox, photographer & writer Lizzie Haworth, writer Crystal Woodbrook, writer Nazia Khan, writer Alyssa Vallester, writer Michelle Schomer, editor

Jessica has taken 3 AP classes every year since sophomore year including AP Biology and AP Psychology senior year. She has also has maintained a 4.0 GPA this year. When asked how she accomplished this amazing feat along with juggling her other activities, Jessica replied, “…I guess just making sure that stuff gets done on time, like even if it’s a big project, you have to really make sure to finish it. It has been hard sometimes with having so many AP classes and trying to maintain that GPA… and if that’s the night of a meet, it can be a lot of work to do. It’s just making sure you don’t quit.”

After looking over her prestigious academic attainments and other talents, the University of Montana accepted Jessica into their school through a Western Undergraduate Exchange scholarship she had applied for. She also received a Presidential Leadership Scholarship, which means she is now a member of the University of Montana’s Davidson Honors College. Jessica was one of the few 24 recipients of the PLS scholarship out of over 400 qualified applicants.

While there, Jessica hopes to study wildlife biology which will equip her for her future job. She’s unsure of exactly what she wants to do as a career, but Jessica’s certain that whatever it is, it will involve animals and their conservation.

Summer camping destinations

Kyra Dahlman | Hawkeye

O

ne of America’s favorite pastimes is camping. It’s something that families and groups of friends can do almost anytime of the year, but now is the time to reserve those campsites because summer is the best time to go, especially since graduation is just around the corner.

There are many camp sites with stunning views of Washington’s land that would intrigue anyone. Campgrounds near the coast offer spectacular views of the ocean and surrounding land, especially during the summer.

Ohanapecosh on Mount Rainier is ranked as one of the best campsites in Washington and is one of the most beautiful. Located about three hours away, this camp ground has multiple, easy access hiking trails. Alongside a crystal blue river, beautiful views are a promise.

Although Ohanapecosh includes a sufficient amount of privacy, it still allows you to meet other people around the campsite.

If you’re into the woodsy type of camping, then Deception Pass is the perfect place. The view from the bridge is absolutely stunning. People can stop near the bridge and have lunch on the rocks

or read about how it came to be called Deception Pass. There are also trails just below the bridge that lead to astonishing views of the forest and Puget Sound.

Another great out-doorsy type of camping is Fort Flagler at Flagler State Park.

Surrounded on three sides by the Puget Sound, this marine state park offers many adventures. Bike trails provide a beautiful view of the forest and wildlife, and good exercise. Searching for beach glass is always fun, especially when the Olympic and Cascade Mountains are the surrounding background. Also part of this campground is a 19th century military fort with old buildings still standing and ready for exploration.

However, if you prefer a hotter climate when camping, then Lake Alta, about twenty minutes outside of Chelan, would be an excellent choice. During the dead of summer, Lake Alta can reach a sweltering one-hundred degrees. Located right next to the lake provides an easy cool-off View from one of the Ohanapecosh trails. when the heat becomes unbearable. Trout is plentiful during the summer months if you enjoy fishing.

Before planning a camping trip, be sure to check the camp ground web site for group lots, reservation times, campsite rules, and nearby activities.

THINGS TO BRING: 1. Bugs spray - Everywhere you go, there will always be biting bugs behind you.

2. Sunscreen - A given, you’ll be outside most of the time.

3. Water bottle - You need to be able to stay hydrated under the summer sun.

4. First aid kit - You never know what could happen when you enter the woods.

5. The right clothing - Be sure to check the weather wherever you choose to camp at.

Deception pass offers a Beautiful view of both the Juan de Fuca Plate and the Skagit River.

Lynnwood’s center remodel is a winner $25 million project updates pool, adds many amenities

By Terrah Short the425editor

A

fter being closed in December 2009, and the $25 million reconstruction of the 33-year-old building commencing in February 2010, the Lynnwood Arts and Recreation Center had its grand re-opening April 28.

The new building has many new features and an additional 16,200 square feet of space to serve residents.

The funding came from a 3 percent increase in the city’s utility tax and a new 1 percent utility tax, but according to KOMO TV reporter Marlee Ginter, “Health and fitness is a huge focus right now in Lynnwood.”

With obesity on the rise throughout America, Lynnwood has the third highest obesity rate in Snohomish County and city officials are working towards reversing that.

There are no mem“Health and bership or joining fitness is a fees, and you can huge focus pay per single use, right now in 10-visit passes, or Lynnwood.” annual passes. The Marlee Ginter point is, the more you KOMO TV REporter use the Recreation Center, the more you save, encouraging community use.

The facility’s pool now has two water slides, a floating river, warm water wellness pool, adult and family hot tubs, new lockers that no longer require coins and a lock can be purchased for $6 or you can bring your own, and much more.

The city of Lynnwood is also making the effort to be more green and installed solar preheating for the hot water and rain gar-

Lavish lifestyles and tuition hikes tough to reconcile

By Devyn Cox and Jordyn Clark Editor in Chief and HAWKEYE staff

une has finally arrived and with it summer vacation.

But the idea of a relaxing, seemingly endless sabbatical from school is short lived for many seniors.

High school may be over, for seniors that is, but the impending college expenses looming overhead are just beginning. For students planning to further their education, understanding what subsidized, unsubsidized, Pell Grants and PLUS Loans are is essential to even be able to understand your financial aid award.

With families struggling to make ends meet, students in Washington state are working one or more jobs and saving every penny in order to pay for tuition.

In stark contrast, many university leaders are content in their lavish lifestyles. Most students, however, would agree that their hard earned money being pumped into the educational system is being unfairly distributed.

A recent and infamous case demonstrating this is that of former University of Washington President Mark Emmert, who is now the CEO of the NCAA. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education’s annual ranking of top-paid university chief executives, Emmert came in 2nd and would have kept his position had he stayed for an additional year; which would have included a $200,000 raise, increasing his yearly salary to $900,000.

However, Emmert isn’t the only state university administrator who placed in annual ranking of top-paid university chief executives.

WSU’s Elson S. Floyd makes $625,000a year along with $24,000 in retirement benefits, a car, house and club dues.

Starting July 1, 2011, Michael Young, former president of University of Utah, is set to replace Emmert. With a beginning salary of $550,000, Young also receives benefits such as $46,000 in retirement and $12,000 auto allowance. In addition, $193,500 will be deposited into an account each year for 5 years.

But in order to receive the total compensation of $967,500, Young cannot break his contract early.

These are astronomical numbers compared to middle class salaries many Terrace citizens are working with.

Many MTHS graduates plan on attending state schools.

But, graduates may think twice about their choice of school when they learn that the University of Washington will experience a 20 percent increase in tuition for in state undergraduates, according to the Seattle Times.

“It’s upsetting that in Washington state, university tuition costs are going up and teenagers or college kids in general shouldn’t be put in this much debt. Like we are starting out in debt,” Terrace alum Sean Otto, currently attending Central Washington University, said.

By Desmond Saisitthidej Sports Editor

Kendall Collins was the only Hawk to make it to state out of the six varsity golfers.

She placed 13th in Districts 3A women’s golf – the top in Terrace.

From May 26 to the 28, Billy Breneman, Owen Fritz, Nina Penner, and Johnny Cortedano represented Mountlake Terrace in the annual state 3A track meet.

Breneman, a senior, said, “[The meet] was the most exciting ever,” and that it was a “nervous, [but] fun, and scary” experience. Breneman placed 15th in the men’s 300 hurdles.

Fritz, another senior, got 11th place in men’s 3A discus throw. He will attending Linfield College in the fall for football.

Johnny Cortedano, a senior, said, “At first it was intimidating, but when you get there you don’t worry about how good everyone else is; you focus on the task at hand.”

Nina Penner, the only non-senior of the four, placed 11th in the women’s 400 meters.

Softball team surges to state

By Desmond Saisitthidej Sports Editor

After a .731 season with 19 wins and 7 losses, the women’s softball team embarked on a journey May 27 to go to state at Lacey starting at noon and ending at 8 p.m.

The Hawks started off on a good foot winning 11-8 over University (Spokane) with a decisive 5-run 6th inning.

After the win the team played Kelso losing 6-5 in a heart-breaker. Terrace then faced elimination against Everett, and came up short losing 7-5 and ending their run at a state title.

Senior second baseman Chelsea Crews was named to the WesCo 3A first team, while Mindy James, Maddy Kristjanson and René Bos made the second team. Hannah Baisch and Hannah Fickle were honorable mention.
