Senior traditions fall victim to apathy, faculty must change mindset
A
cancelled pep rally and tests on Senior Skip Day are evidence of Staples staff ’s disappointing lack of enthusiasm. The Board calls for faculty and administrators to increase understanding, support and enthusiasm for high school traditions in order to create a stronger school spirit. The pep rally is one of the most valued and highly-anticipated school traditions that builds throughout homecoming spirit week. After years of watching their senior teammates organize this production, the time for four-year senior athletes to lead their teams had finally arrived. Watching the water polo team sprint across the field in their bathing suits, the cheerleaders perform intricate stunts, and the football team dance to “Party in the USA” allows the hardworking student body to laugh and embrace the spirit of the people who make up our school community. Students put a significant amount of time and effort into choreographing these routines

understand kids. That means they should be able to understand what it is like to be a senior facing the stresses that come with college applications and submitting first-quarter grades. It’s not too much to ask that they show empathy for a senior skip day. The pervasive lack of enthusiasm and harsh judgments from Staples administrators and faculty towards senior traditions is disheartening. Moving forward, fostering a more positive and collaborative school culture that embraces senior traditions is essential to ensure these meaningful events continue to enhance the Staples High School experience for students.
The Editorial Board voted unanimously in favor of this opinion.

“Thankful” has a new meaning this year Anonymous
I
got home from school on Oct. 19, 2022, and I went up to my room as usual. Two hours later, I got a call from my grandma asking if I was okay and if I had talked to my parents. Confused, I checked my parents location on Find My iPhone and saw they were at Bridgeport hospital.

Beyond the dollar: tutoring provides academic impact, personal growth Mia Bomback ’25 Features Editor
G
iven our own pressures to succeed academically in high school, it’s no wonder that the majority of students aren’t excited about the idea of assisting someone else in their studies. After all, why spend your Tuesday night crouched over a distressed third grader struggling to put twoand-
two together, literally, when you have your own calculus test to study for, right? Wrong. I am known as a sort of “essay extraordinaire” among friends. I am the go-to assistant among friends for all projects and papers. So when I got the email inviting me to apply to become a Top Hat Tutor, the decision to join was a no-brainer. What easier way was there to earn a quick buck than to become an English tutor? Spoiler alert: there are MANY easier ways; they just aren’t as rewarding. No doubt, tutoring is time consuming. One hour of every week soon became two or three, as I found myself having to re-read the same books as my tutee to best help her understand the material. But since “The
Great Gatsby” is one of my favorite books anyway, spending a little extra time with it was pretty painless, and well worth the money I made doing it. That said, I can honestly say that I don’t tutor for the money. (I don’t do it to pad my college resume, either, if that was your next guess.) I genuinely enjoy my job as a tutor because I know that I made a difference in someone else’s life. There is no feeling more fulfilling than that of giving someone not only the knowledge, but the confidence, to earn a grade they always thought was out of reach. That feeling you get from waking up to a text that reads: “Hey, I don’t know if you’re awake yet, but my teacher put my grade in late last night and I got a 30/30 on my grammar quiz! Thank you!!”
At the risk of sounding cliché, I learn a lot from my tutees, too. For instance, thanks to helping Olivia study for her grammar test, I knew the answer to a similar question on my ACT. My affinity for tutoring makes sense. Humans, or at least those of us with a moral compass, derive at least some semblance of happiness from helping others. For me, it’s not unusual that helping my tutees ace their tests gives me greater satisfaction than doing well on my own exams. So no, being a tutor isn’t the easiest job in the world, but it sure is the most gratifying—and hey, the $43/hour doesn’t hurt either.

Xfinity driver and ‘09 Staples alumnus, Parker Kligerman, races for the finish line Katherine Phelps ‘25 Opinions Editor
W
hoever said that watching television was bad for you clearly didn’t know the impact that it would have on Staples alumnus Parker Kligerman ’09 and his subsequent career path. No, Kligerman didn’t go into directing, nor did he become an actor—Kligerman became a driver for the Xfinity series, National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR)’s second tier circuit, and even entered the playoffs this year. When Kligerman was nine years old, he discovered the television channel “Speed Vision,” which broadcasted motorsports programming including auto racing. For Kligerman, it was love at first sight.
Kligerman began his racing journey at 12 years old, driving go-karts at Norwalk Karting Association. By the time he was a teenager, he was competing against some of the most talented racers in the country in famously televised events. He credits his success to hard work, determination and support from the Staples community. “I remember the principal at the time being super cool about my racing when it came to leaving school for a racing opportunity,” Kligerman said. “I had to keep up my end of the bargain, and as long as I did well in school, I was able to continue racing and really focus on that.” Racing, a sport more common in the south, was an almost unheard-of hobby for someone growing up in Westport. Never before had the town seen a child go from a casual
go-kart rider to one of the 12 drivers in the Xfinity series playoffs. Kligerman didn’t let the rarity of his dream prevent him from achieving it. He was destined to become a racecar driver, and would stop at nothing in order to reach his goals. “In my mind, I just so whole-heartedly believed that I was going to get to NASCAR and the highest levels,” Kligerman said. “I knew that I was going to make it happen […] It’s amazing what anybody can achieve when they have the confidence to get there.” During his senior year of high school, Kligerman raced for the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA). Though a less vigorous league compared to NASCAR, it wasn’t long before he made his Xfinity series debut in 2009. Kligerman won his first
NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in 2012 with 15 top-ten finishes, earning fifth place in the overall final standings for that season. After taking a break from racing in 2014, he returned to NASCAR in 2023 for his first full-time season to race for Big Machine Racing. Kligerman placed within the top 12 drivers during the regular season, allowing him to reach the Xfinity series playoffs. Kligerman is looking forward to returning to the track in 2024, where he will drive the no. 48 Chevrolet Camaro. “I think right now my goal is to win races at this level, and try to win a championship,” Kligerman said. “Whatever happens, happens, if I get to race for another 20 years, awesome […] but I’ve won in a lot of ways just by having the chance to be here.”

READY, SET, GO! Throughout Kligerman’s life he has always wanted to be involved with cars. From when he was a child (top left), to entering his first race in 2009 (top right), entering his second race (left) and placing in a NASCAR race in 2012 (bottom), Kligerman has acheived his dreams.

During this week, Players run the show every day to make sure it is perfect. This is draining, but it is worth it. “The cast and crew spends countless hours preparing for the show,” Medoff said.

Wreckers play hard at FCIAC championships Charlotte Berner ‘25
T
Assistant Business Manager en Staples sports teams participated in the FCIAC tournament this year as their fall season came to a close. Many teams performed well: the boys’ and girls’ cross country teams got third and fourth place respectively, and boys’ soccer made it to the semifinal round. However, only three teams came out of FCIACs with a first or second place win: girls’ soccer, boys’ golf and girls’ field hockey.

Girls’ soccer
The girls’ soccer team took second place in the FCIAC championship, falling short to St. Joseph 2-1. In the semifinals, the team beat Darien 2-0 and in the quarterfinals, they beat Trumbull 4-2. The team’s head coach, Barry Beattie, knows his team gave their all, although the results were not what they had hoped. “I’m disappointed we didn’t win and feel for the players because they give everything to achieve the best result for their teammates,” Beattie said, “but I am always proud to be standing there with them as their coach.”

BOYS’ GOLF The boys’ golf team claimed the FCIAC championship on Oct. 19, marking the second time in history that the team has won. This win served as a sense of motivation and pride for the team now and in future years. “After winning the championship,” head coach Peter Caligiure said, “I hope it provides our team next year the confidence and belief to not only contend but defend our title.”

Girls’ Field hockey The girls’field hockey team also took second place in the FCIAC tournament losing 3-0 to Darien in the final. The team defeated New Canaan 7-2 in the quarterfinals and Ridgefield 3-2 in double overtime and shootouts to make it to the tournament’s finals. Although the team put up a good fight against Darien in the finals, they are still striving to improve going forward. “I think we were all disappointed with the outcome because we know we have what it takes to win,” captain Kathryn Asiel ’24 said. “We learned that we need to focus more on the connection from the defense to the attack.” Photo graphics by Shivali Kanthan ’24
