JHS Year in review

Brigid Kelley, ’15 JCTV This year the Jesuit Crusaders TV (JCTV) offered live video streaming of many home sports games. This club, founded by Mr. Scott Powers and senior Taylor Sutton, and focuses on all aspects of sports broadcasting and is a completely student-run organization. With a continually growing network of viewers, the JCTV crew brought in online spectators from all over the country in their specialized streaming of home football, baseball and soccer events.

Priests The beloved Jesuit priests on campus have had a difficult year, but with the love and support of the Jesuit community they will persevere. Fr. Paul Grubb S.J. will be leaving Jesuit to journey to Australia for his final stage in the process of becoming a Jesuit, tertianship. Fr. Ed McTighe S.J. passed away on February 3. His funeral mass was held at Jesuit. Fr. McTighe will be remembered for his love of teaching religion, involvement in the Liturgy Band during weekly masses and the beautiful trees he planted along Mary’s Way. Finally, Fr. Kevin Connell S.J., an English teacher and Jesuit resident on campus, suffered a stroke in March and is in the process of recovery. While Fr. Connell will not teach for the rest of the

year, he is very much in our hearts and prayers.

Fr. Connell is known around campus for his relatable homilies during mass and his love for Shakespeare.

SHREK Shrek The Musical brought ogres, princesses and everything in between for the recordbreaking theatre event in February. With every night of this two-week play sold out and a standby line going out the door, this overwhelming success is credited to the amazing JHS student-actors that brought this famous DreamWorks and book by William Steig to life. With notable roles, the main actors were junior Jon Matter as Shrek, senior Maddy Matthews as Donkey, senior Casey Collins as Princess Fiona, and the scene-stealer Bryce Earheart as Lord Farquaad. This swampfilled musical brought many surprises and wonderful enchantments that the drama crew worked diligently on to please the audience.

State Championships: Men’s Soccer and Men’s & Women’s Combined Ski Racing The Knight gym has been decorated with two more banners after this school year. The Men’s Soccer team won the State Championship for the second year in a row. Lead by senior Christo Michaelson, these men

brought home the Big Hits in a back-toback state championship. Also, the Ski team brought home the 4th state championship trophy for Men’s and Women’s Combined Ski Racing.

Upstanders Club The new Upstanders Club which is an anti-bullying movement was founded by Mr. Khalid Maxie, Dean of Students and Security, and some key leaders from each grade. This club is open to all members and is meant to be a proactive force in the fight against school bullying. With a powerful video published during the Technology Awareness Assembly, these students sit as a driving force to prevent bullying on the JHS campus. iPads: just around the corner This school year has been quietly anticipating the transformation to a 1-1 program next year where each student will be given an iPad to use for their studies. 70% of the books will be electronic and many classes will transfer to an e-book system. Ms. Carol Wyatt has headed up this process and she has created an atmosphere and plan-of-attack for next year’s transformation. With many questions and anticipations, students are able to take an “iPad 101” summer school course to become familiar with this advanced technology.

Technology Awareness Assembly and Increased Security on Campus Last spring Officer Cotton spoke at an allschool assembly which captured students’ attention on the risk of internet/ social media safety. By explaining the laws set in place in Oregon, this assembly was informative to many students who were unaware of the precautions they could take on their online profiles. Also this year there has been an increase in the security around campus to create an extra precaution towards violence or danger at Jesuit. The new security guards, one of which is armed, are here to protect the students and staff from the increased violence in our society.

“I Hope You” This year, the Senior Pilgrimage focused around the message of hope. From “hoping” one another to placing pink heart on the senior’s lockers, the upperclassmen led the student body in believing in a brighter future by living confidently and lovingly in their lives today. With the positive example set forth by the class of 2014, this years’ message of hope even made its way to the Boston Marathon.

Ms. Andrea Casey ran in the marathon and was given blessed “I Hope You” hearts during the St. Ignatius mass to place around the city of Boston while she was running. This

influential theme for the school year would not have happened without the dedication and compassion brought forth by the seniors.

Green Ribbon School Award On earth Day, April 22, Jesuit High was acknowledged as a National Green Ribbon School. This award was given following the substantial sustainable changes done at Jesuit over the past few years. After winning and being acknowledged at the Oregon Sustainable Schools awards for the past three years, this is the first time that a school in Oregon has won the Green Ribbon Schools Award.

This was mainly in thanks from Ms. Jennie Cournia and Senora Shannon Shelburne who put together the extensive application.

Jesuit purchases Valley Plaza JHS purchased a large amount of land last fall to guarantee a secure future. By purchasing the Valley Plaza, which would increase the JHS campus by 40%, this land will not be under JHS ownership until around 10 years when the current leases will be up. President John Gladstone continually noted that this purchase is not for immediate use but for safekeeping for the future. While the amount was not disclosed by the Jesuit administration, this area was previously on sale for $8.8 million dollars.

n April 22, the U.S. Secretary of Education commended Jesuit for its sustainability efforts, recognizing Jesuit as one of 48 schools nationally to win the U.S. Department of Education’s Green Ribbon School Award.

The U.S. Department of Education assessed Jesuit on its environmental impact, health of students and staff, education for sustainability, and social sustainability, the committee working to acknowledge schools that practice sustainability in all facets of their school programs.

After staff members Ms. Jennie Cournia and Ms. Shelburne dedicated over 50 hours to the application process, their hard work yielded a wealth of information regarding Jesuit’s reen practices in addition to a prestigious award.

“The Green Ribbon award was really awesome to win,” said CoPresident of Green Team/Service Club senior Tara Dunn. “It is great to be recognized as a school that does our best to help the environment.”

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Jesuit has retrofitted the cafeteria lights to save about 20,500 kilowatt-hours per year and is currently implementing LED lights in outdoor areas. Since 2012, Jesuit’s green-

Jesuit has also incorporated such green practices into the very foundations of campus with the addition of the LED gold-certified Elorriaga Center.

The application process also spurred the testing for lead in the water supply, which Jesuit had never done before. Although none was detected, Jesuit’s sustainability efforts have provided the administration with a newfound knowledge integral to the

safety of students.

In addition to ensuring a healthy environment, Jesuit also ensures the health of its inhabitants by implementing fume hoods in all of the chemistry and biology laboratories, ceiling ventilation in the faculty work room, and a new anti-idling policy for cars to protect students’ lungs.

Still, such initiatives are only the start.

“We did not score 100 percent in most areas and that means we still have a lot of work to do,” said Ms.

Cournia. “Whether it is new building projects or renovations or deciding how to better use the resources we already have, Jesuit plans to make conscientious decisions in all that we do.”

Beyond Jesuit’s efforts for sustainability illustrated in the application, Jesuit also incorporates such green attitudes into the students with the Green Team/Service club and efforts during Green Week. Green Team participates in monthly projects such as tree plantings, battery recy-

cling, the toiletry drive, and Green Week.. During this week especially, the club encourages students to make more sustainable choices.

“To me when I look around our campus, we’re doing well as far as sustainability, but we also still have a large to-do list of relatively easy things to fix that we can do better,” said Green Team moderator Ms. Shannon Shelburne. “This award signifies that we have to keep going. It’s not fair to the award. It’s not fair to the promise that we made by filling out this application to be good that we just stop. We just have to keep improving.”

Continuing its quest to become a more sustainable school, Jesuit is currently preparing to implement a new recycling center in the Student Center. This recycling center will include several sections aimed to recycle particular materials rather than one large generalized recycling bin. Through generous donations and proceeds from the 2013 Student Fundraiser, such new sustainable initiatives like the recycling center are possible.

“It is so important that people know that they are having a very real impact on the future of the environment,” said junior Isabel Klein, Sustainability Chair. “I think Green Week is a great way to make students aware of the ‘green’ things that are happening at Jesuit.”

Tensions in Ukraine escalate: how does US respond?

ith escalating tensions in Ukraine, many Jesuit students are worried about aanother potential war in Europe, and how it will affect them.

“I really think that it’s interesting that Russia worked so hard to build up their goodwill with the Sochi Olympics, and then they throw it all away by doing something as ignorant as invading Ukraine, and trying to re-establish the power that they had under the Soviet Union.”said junior Andis Solomon.

With Russia annexing the Crimea region, tensions have escalated in the region. Many in Ukraine claim that the unrest in the region was orchestrated by the Russians, although the Russian government denies any involvement.

“The European Union is highly dependent on Russian natural gas that flows through Ukraine, and the United States is looking to protect its interests in the region, among them being Ukraine keeping it’s status as a sovereign state,” said senior Patrick McCarthy.

JHS News Briefs

Ukraine’s interim government has been building up its armed forces, hoping to ensure that the nation remains whole. The Ukrainian government has stated on multiple occasions that they believe that the unrest in the east is being carried out by Russian agents. Russia has placed a force of 40,000 troops along the Ukrainian border, according to NATO.

Recently, the U.S. has called on other NATO countries to increase their defense spending, in preparation for turbulent events in Europe. Russia has threatened to cut off oil to the Ukraine.

Russian stocks to drop 13.2%, which equates to more money than the $51 Billion Russia spent putting on the Sochi Olympics. Russia warned of serious repercussions if trade sanctions are levied, although exactly what the repercussions were have not been stated. Currently, NATO is calling for another round of trade sanctions against Russia.

Although both sides hope to resolve the crisis through diplomatic channels, many fear that any small escalation could spark the regional powder keg, and start a war.

Some see it as being a catalyst for a third world war, with the crisis in

JHS students speak for African Road Project

JHS freshmen Josh DeKlotz and Sam Hromco, as well as their younger brothers Will DeKlotz and Eli Hromco, are featured speakers at a fundraising banquet this Saturday May 10th in downtown Portland at the Sentinel Hotel.

The fundraiser is to benefit African Road, a non-profit that works to provide sustainable, friendship-based, God-centered, practical help to women and children in poverty, especially in villages in Rwanda.

This team of 4 boys raised over $8,000 during the past 4 years to provide hope to a village of children orphaned by the genocide in the Gasogi village of Rwanda. Sharing with the orphans a common passion for soccer, the boys sent Nike soccer balls to Rwanda, in return receiving several banana leaf soccer balls from their friends in Rwanda.

Letters About Literature contest winners

13 JHS students were recognized by the Oregon State Library for their excellent work writing Letters About Literature for the 2014 contest.

The semifinalists included students Siobhan Salzman, Collin Dunn, Katherine Ann Leavy, Graham Savage, Katie Pollard, Mylan Garnet, Chris Arpan, Sheryar Almakky, Haley Schleh, Donovan Baldocchi, Kyle Cerri and Gracie Doherty. Sophomore Madeline White won honorable mention, or 3rd place, in the competition.

Also Ukraine has asked the UN for troops to defend themselves, even though Russia, as part of the security council, has veto power over any UN decisions.

“I’m not concerned about the United States going to war.” said senior Christo Michaelson.

With tensions escalating, the world hoes for a peaceful resolution while preparing for the worst.

or many Jesuit students, especially girls, dress-up days are some of the most stressful days of the whole year. Many of them worry about what they will wear days in advance and some girls go shopping the night before an all school mass to buy last minute essentials for their outfit.

“The day before a dressup day I pick out my outfit and shop for anything that I need to make it look complete,” said junior Siobhan Salzman.

One of the most difficult things about wearing formal attire at Jesuit is that girls’ skirts have to go to their knees. This rule is especially tough for girls with long legs.

“I have long legs so it has always been hard for me to find skirts that go to my knee,” said junior Emma Hoppes.

Never fear, long skirts can be found at many stores. Clothing stores at the Washington Square

Mall such as JC Penny and H & M carry a variety of inexpensive maxi skirts and dresses that, when paired with a cardigan and heels, create an easy yet fabulous outfit.

A store that many students might shy away from, but that carries a wide selection of long skirts is none other than your neighborhood Goodwill or thrift store.

Although some of their formal attire might be a little beat up, many of their flower print skirts look great with a solid colored blouse. Plus there are not that many dress-up days in a year... so why worry if your skirt is a handme-down?

If you’re not into wearing dresses during the winter months, dress slacks are a comfortable yet chic alternative.

Dress slacks can be found at virtually any clothing store, but some of the best ones on the market are from Nordstrom, Lands End, and Gap. Just pair this perfect dress-up day must-

have with a flowing top and a colorful belt.

With all the hype involving skirt length and what to wear with dress pants, jewelry and shoes seem like forgotten essentials to great outfits. When worn with colorful clothing, simple stud earrings and a short necklace complete the outfit in an understated and fun way. Shoes should also be understated if worn with a busy outfit, so try black dress shoes because they go with everything. Guys, remember traditionally belts match the color of our dress shoes.

Dress-up days aren’t that scary if you focus on a cohesive look. You will be set for any formal event if you make sure that you have the basics: black shoes, a simple pencil skirt, and a pair of dress pants. Keep a calm composure and remember all these guidelines and do not freak out. Try to always keep in mind that dress-up days are supposed to be fun!

t is widely known that Jesuit has an outstanding athletics program, but that is not the only thing we excel in.

The choir, band, drama and arts program tend to take a backseat to successes on the field or track. So is this why few Jesuit students go on to attend “arts colleges”, like Parsons New School for Design or Pratt, both in New York City? Is there some unwritten rule that all Jesuit students must go the tradition college route?

“If I have one kid a year who’s looking to go that route, that’s about it,”said Jesuit college counselor, Ms. Maier.

But deciding on college being an extremely personal process, someone must choose the best option for themselves.

So what is holding the many talented artists from choosing an arts college?

“I think it’s a lack of awareness and maybe a selfrecognition to whether an arts college is right for them,” said Jesuit college counselor, Mr.

Johnson.

Also, there is some push back to attend such a concentration-based school because it limits a student’s options to study.

If a student were to attend a mainstream college, like University of Oregon, for a theater major, that student has the flexibility to change majors if theater does not seem to fit. At a school that is solely for acting or the arts, the student has to be stuck in a major and school that doesn’t fit their personality or interest.

So what does this have to do with Jesuit students?

Juniors, you are on your way to applying to colleges and making tough decisions about where you want your life to go. So whether or not you chose to go the more risky route of going to an arts school or if you choose to go the standard college experience, you will have to be ready for all the challenges that colleges may bring.

“For those who are truly interested in art, they are going to find the right fit for them,” said Mr. Johnson.

“The Two Minute Dare”

Written by senior Casey Collins and directed by senior Erin Strader Cast Members: freshman Kyle Phelps, freshman Beverly Skinner, freshman Emma Ulring, and freshman Eliana Squire.

“The Two Minute Dare” is about a dare for a boy named Marcus to spend two minutes in the girl’s bathroom. Marcus is utterly alone with only a stall to protect him and he then unintentionally eavesdrops on his crush’s conversation about him, falls into the toilet, and experiences extreme social, as well as damp discomfort.

“I wrote the play because we all have those awkward moments that we wish we could magically poof out of, but unfortunately we have to endure, said Collins.

“In my experience, many of those awkward moments have happened in the bathroom.”

This year’s Playfest plays are sure to make the audience laugh. The plays will run in the black box theatre May 23-25.

“I ran for student government because I knew I wanted to do more to contribute to the school community. After helping out with projects like the food drive, student government seemed like the perfect opportunity. I’m excited to represent the student body as ASB president next year and I hope I can add a new perspective and bring new ideas.

Everyone should use the summer to mentally prepare for next year’s awesomeness.”

Irah Comia

Junior Class President “I ran for Student Government because I had a fear of talking in front of large crowds and I really wanted to face my fear.

It’s really important for me to become closer with my class and make sure I help the people who want their voices to be heard. I want to help every student embrace school spirit and bring Jesuit community closer by doing different activities or events.”

“I ran for student government because I don’t want senior year to be boring. I want to contribute new, fresh ideas and do things that have never been done before. I’m really excited to make senior year a special one for all my classmates. As Beyonce wisely said, senior class, ‘You’re my fire when I’m cold I just want you to know, you had me at hello.’”

Sage Taylor

Sophomore Class President “When people ask why I ran for student government, I like to ask them, “How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” This confuses them and gives me ample time to run away. In all seriousness though, I ran because I thought it would be a challenge and if I did win I would really do my best to raise the sophomore class to its rightful place, above freshman but below everyone else.”

Q&A with new Activities Director Roxanne Asp Claire McCarthy, ’14

Q: What was your time like at Jesuit?

A: My time at Jesuit was fun, busy, challenging, and amazing.

I taught Biology and Health for a few years and then eventually moved to teaching Health and PE. I also coached women’s basketball and cross country.

Q: What work are you leaving to come to this job?

A: The last two years I have worked as the QA Tester for a growing internet company called TeamSnap. My job is to break things, then figure out

what exactly I did to cause it to break, then work with the developers to try to fix it.

Q: What experience do you have that qualifies you for the job as activity director?

A: I have been teaching high school for 13 years and taught for one year in a middle school (and after surviving that it should qualify anyone to handle just about any job). In my time at Jesuit I helped develop the Freshman Overnight Retreat as well as organized a retreat with my sophomore Health students for local middle school students. In addition to my time

teaching, I have organized youth camps, been the youth director for ComedySportz in Portland where, in addition to my duties as youth director, I also organized and taught multiple, week-long improv camps to middle school and high school students. They put on some great shows at the end of each camp!

Q: What motivated you to apply for the job? What are you most excited about?

well as the chance to work with students in a different setting -which was perfect. I have found that stepping outside of the classroom and working with students in different ways (camps, coaching, teaching improv) has been very rewarding for me.

Q: What changes or ideas do you plan on bringing next year?

A: I really wanted to start working with students again and wanted to teach as well. This job offered some teaching as

Knowing where to shop for food is important in making a dish consistent in flavor and freshness.

“The new Zupan’s that opened up is by far my favorite place to shop. Especially in the summer when they open up the glass wall and offer samples of the fresh produce they are selling.” said Shaffer.

Of course the chefs have a favorite dish that they make by friends and family’s

birthdays and special occasions.

“The most popular cake I bake is a cake with Twix chopped up and cooked into the middle of the cake.” said Parker, “I always make cakes for people on their birthdays or for a holiday like Fat Tuesday.”

It is no secret that desserts go a long way as far as being a crowd favorite.

“My favorite dish, as well as that of my friends, would have to be either my tiramisu cupcakes or my chocolate Oreo whoopee pies.” said Lee. “For special occasions I would make a key lime cake with cream cheese frosting.”

and get a feel for the current culture of the school. There are a lot of conversations that still need to happen and I’m really interested in finding out what the newly elected officers, students, athletes, coaches and staff would like to see for next year.

Q: Have you had the chance to meet any officers about next year’s plans?

A: I did sit down with them but so they could ask me questions as part of the interview process.

They asked great questions and it made me excited for the coming year!

here are many talented students at Jesuit High School that not only thrive on the courts and the fields, but in the kitchen as well.

Junior Connie Parker and seniors Julia Shaffer and Rose Lee, famous amongst their peers for their dishes and deserts, tell of their love of food and share their insights to great cooking. Every great chef has inspiration for their meals, many gain a love for cooking from their houses at a young age.

“My nannies were from the Philippines and were con-

stantly cooking” said Shaffer.

“They used to keep me entertained in the kitchen, so I guess I learned how to cook and bake just like I learned to walk and talk, through observation. Also having an Italian grandmother means that cooking and food are an essential part of culture.”

They say that the best meal you’ll ever have is one your mom makes, and learning to cook one of these meals sometimes needs to come straight from the source.

“I have loved to cook ever since my mom let me crack the eggs into her cookie batter when I was 5 or 6”, said Lee. “I

Sometimes it is hard to choose a specific dish to make for a friend, because each person you’re cooking for likes different things.

“Penne alla vodka is a definite favorite among my friends,” said Shaffer. “As far as making dishes for birthdays, it’s all about learning and knowing the preferences of the people you are cooking for.”

These three chefs bring their love of food and delicious recipes to the student body, sharing their inspiring work. and encouraging everyone to be men and woman cooks for others.

Prior to teaching at Jesuit, Mr. Nelson had taught for a decade in Southern California. He began teaching at Jesuit in 1981, and has taught various Spanish classes, twentieth century history, world history, American government and economics, and P.E. He also was the Summer School Director for three years and the Athletic Director from 1986 to 1989. In

addition to teaching, Mr. Nelson has served as a coach for football, track, and softball.

“I am in Fr. Connell’s 4th period English class and when we heard the news we decided something had to be done to show him our love,” said senior Elle Wentross. “As a class we put together a basket of items that reminded us of him and had it delivered.”

Fr. Connell was hospitalized for slightly over a week in Providence Saint Vincent Medical Center. For further care and steps to rebuilding his strength, he then moved to Maryville Nursing Home.

The next steps of his journey occurred on April 8 when Fr. Connell moved to the Providence Acute Rehabilitation Center and then to the Jesuit community at Gonzaga University in Spokane on April 30t to continue his rehab.

Greatly missed by his students and the entire Jesuit community, Fr. Connell works ever y day with his therapists to regain his abilities. He is doing well and continues to prog ress.

“I hope that Fr. Connell knows that he is not alone,” said senior Devin Lalic. “He has the all of Jesuit and many others walking with him along the way.”

He has taught them many useful life lessons and has overall positively impacted each student he has tuaght.

“There is no doubt in my mind that Mr. Nelson will be missed in the halls of Jesuit,” said senior Charlie Landgraf. “Future classes will miss out on his words of wisdom, passion for teaching, and sense of humor that he brought to every class.”

Roomsurf has become a popular website for Jesuit seniors looking for a college roommate.

Roomsurf: the do’s and don’ts

Rachel Hickman, ’14

oomsurf was first launched in February of .2010. The website service was created by two University of Miami alums, Justin Gaither and Dan Thibodeau. Roomsurf was created to provide an alternative way for college students to find a roommate, other than receiving a random roommate through the college itself.

“Honestly, Roomsurf has been super successful helping me find a roommate,” said senior Natalie Hotchkiss. “I did feel really creepy though when I would surf for a roommate on it, because it is basically like online dating just for a roomie.”

There are two types of accounts, Roomsurf Basic and Roomsurf Premium. Roomsurf Basic is free and Roomsurf Premium costs about twenty-dollars.

The main difference between the

two is that Roomsurf Premium offers more details about individuals, specifically how to contact them.

“I first got Roomsurf Basic, but then it was beyond pointless because I didn’t have a way to contact anyone I was interested in rooming with,” said senior Anne Shields. “After I found out that I couldn’t contact anyone, I immediately switched to Roomsurf Premium.”

Roomsurf works by first choosing the school that you are trying to find a roommate for.

The next step is to create a profile that talks about your interests and activities you spend your time doing, as well as a place to write a brief message about yourself. After creating a profile, the final step is to fill out a survey that asks you questions about how you would handle situations as a roommate and how you would like your roommate to respond to these situations also.

“There is an option when looking at someone’s profile to compare the answers we both put for the survey,” said senior Bridget O’Donnell. “This was really helpful to see what we needed to compromise on and what we al-

ready on the same page on.”

The Do’s of Roomsurf: • Post an attractive photo of yourself for your profile • Buy Roomsurf Premium so you can actually see people’s Facebook’s • Write more than “message me if you want to get to know me” • Add your preferred residence if you do have an idea of where you want to stay • Message people you could actually see yourself being roommates with The Don’ts of Roomsurf: • Don’t have other people in your profile photo; how will people know which one you are?

• Don’t add every person on your college’s Roomsurf page on Facebook • Don’t write something #basic in your profile like “I’m sooo into working out and staying fit, or I could stay in and watch Netflix every day” • Don’t add everyone you sort of like on Roomsurf to your favorites (it pops up in their messages) • Don’t put your Instagram/ Twitter username in your profile, you look desperate for followers

is used during exercises requiring an extremely high level of energy during a short period of time, such as sprinting or lifting weights (University of Maryland Medical Center).

Therefore, creatine supplements work to exacerbate the effects of the natural creatine found in our body, enhancing athletic performance requiring short bursts of high energy (University of Maryland Medical Center).

However, this is just one of the many benefits that athletes seek in using creatine supplements.

“Creatine is an amino acid that increases energy transfer to the muscles and makes you get ‘bigger’ faster,” says junior Hudson Paine. “It is effective in explosive strengthening and can be helpful in making time in the gym more efficient.”

But creatine, while an

effective and fast-acting way to achieve a short-term burst of energy, is not without its drawbacks, many negative aspects of the popular supplement associating with mild to severe health risks.

“Creatine can slow natural muscle development and can cause problems with the heart if overused,” said Paine. “Also, be careful of dehydration while you’re using it. I am not a huge fan of creatine because I think that it is overused and becoming too popular.”

In turn, the possibly detrimental effects of the supplement cause many students to think twice about using creatine in their athletic endeavors. For these students, the disadvantages of creatine supplements outweigh any tangible benefits.

“I do not really support the use of creatine,” says sophomore Hadley Wilhoite.

ook out Crusaders, Jesuit’s 1-1 program is almost upon us. With the anticipated arrival of the iPads nearing closer, students share their opinions on how the added technology will affect both Jesuit and its surrounding learning environment.

Unlike most high schools, Jesuit has strict rules prohibiting the usage of cell phones and many other hand held electronic devices during school hours. As restricting as some students find this rule to be, no one can deny that taking away a student’s screen can facilitate conversation and thus community within peers.

“Sure, iPads have their positive [features], but I think our school as a whole will be less engaged with the people around us,” said freshman McCall Phillips.

“There will be a lack of face to face communication because we have screens to hide behind.”

It’s also no surprise that screen time cuts into student’s daily lives in a negative way. The average American teen spends up to 11 hours staring at a screen each day, surpassing time spent attending school or even sleeping, according to Victoria L. Dunckley, M.D.

Studies have also shown that a prolonged exposure to technology impairs cognitive functioning, increases poor habits and cravings, and prohibits the ability to use reason instead of knee-jerk reactions.

Is this the future environment of Jesuit High School?

“The recreational use [of the iPads] will be the thing that puts it over the limit,” said Mr. Hildreth. “I think people need to spend less time, or I can see how it can affect students’ health.”

Bringing iPads into the classroom also introduces an entirely different challenge: staying focused. Students will have the ability to participate in group chats, surf the internet, even peruse apps during class, all which divert the attention from the teacher to the tablet.

But the addition of iPads isn’t all bad. Aside from decreasing backpack space, the iPads could help save tremendous amounts of paper and help students prepare for the technology dominated curriculum their college will most certainly offer.

“I think there will be a lot of distractions. The side swipes go from app to app can go from a game to a document with the flick of a finger as soon as the teacher walks by,” said Mr. Hildreth. “It will be a different classroom management system for many, many people or result in just turning a blind eye to it.”

“I believe that access to this technology during school hours would be greatly beneficial to student development” said sophomore Ian Elsenbach. “I think it would allow students to be more organized because of its ability to house all the information from all classes in a central and easily-accessible place.”

Agreeing or disagreeing with the arrival of the iPads makes no difference; in less than a year, every student at Jesuit will be holding a shockingly expensive and extremely fragile Apple computer. The choice to use the iPad as a learning tool still lies in the students’ hands.

Are creatine supplements beneficial to our athletes?

J

esuit is renowned for its topnotch athletic programs – but how do JHS athletes, coaches, ......and the school as a whole view the usage of common athletic supplements, specifically creatine and shot bloks?

Creatine is an amino acid naturally produced in the kidneys and liver and stored in the muscles, where it provides the body with a ready but limited source of energy in the form of ATP. (University of Maryland Medical Center). It

“While creatine helps with muscle strength, I would be hesitant to try it… I grow a little worried when I add something to my body that it is already producing naturally.”

While not necessarily as controversial as creatine supplements, shot bloks, also sold under titles such as “Carb Energy Chews” or “Performance Energy Blasts,” usually consist of a mixture of electrolytes, carbohydrates, and glucose (bestnutrition.com).

Similar to creatine supplements, shot bloks provide athletes with a quick and convenient source of power during athletic events. But, again, this supplement too requires athletes keep careful tabs on their usage for personal safety matters.

“I think that bloks are a great form of instant energy before a competition… as long as they are not constantly relied on as your sole source of energy,”

said Wilhoite. “Not only do they charge your muscles, but they’re pretty tasty!”

In the end, the choice to use supplements such as creatine and shot bloks lies completely with the individual. But whatever they decide, all athletes should first focus on attaining energy through natural diet and exercise, always remaining wary of false advertising for supplements.

“Obviously, if a product makes promises that are too good to be true, then they probably won’t deliver,” said Jesuit head men’s soccer coach and health teacher Mr. Thurley. “Nothing substitutes a good balanced diet and hard work for physical improvement, whether it is for strength or endurance improvement. However, we are always looking for the ‘magic bullet’ that delivers results without any work or effort in a short period of time.”

What are the pros and cons of Greek life in college?

Cece Alexander, ’14

G

reek life has become a huge part of the public’s perception of the college experience, and we are left to ask ourselves the question: to rush or not to rush?

While not every school has Greek life, those that do often boast their successes in members with higher GPA’s than those of regular students.

Senior Darby Rosette conducted her senior project on the subject and researched the pros and cons of rush and Greek life.

“The members of the chapters are usually held to high standards while receiving a lot of academic support whenever it is needed such as tutors and advisors,” said Rosette.

“Basically, if a student wants to succeed academically and also wants to be involved in Greek life, they need to manage their time and all of their

to see the changes that are being made in chapters and membership is funneling back.

“Chapters are relating back to their fundamental values rather than simply places to party,” said Rosette.

“I love my sorority because when I went on my service trip to Nicaragua, the older girls had been on similar trips and gave me advice of what to put on my application or even what to pack,” said Carroll. “The service aspect means a lot to me, and the girls were genuinely interested in hearing about it when I returned home.”

Media reports frequently on horror stories involving fraternal hazing. Stories such as these act as deterrent for some from fraternities, and even sororities.

Megan May, the University of Arizona Panhellenic Council President, said, “Greek life has definitely shifted away from the hazing mentality. While of course there are going to be people or some organizations that still do some hazing...the majority have completely gone cold turkey with hazing.”

Whatever your opinion may be, research as well as college visits are a great way to gain a better understanding of what Greek life might look like at your potential college.

skir ts instead of shor ts in tennis.

Players can use the inner spandex of the skir t to hold tennis balls before they ser ve. One can hold up to 4 tennis balls in the skir ts and is much more convenient than having to r un and get a ball before ever y ser ve dr uing a match.

Instead of wearing a bag g y pair of shor ts, the tennis skir t provides a shor t and breathable fabric that allows a cool relief during a match outside in hot temperatures.

“I prefer skir t over shor ts,” said junior tennis player K atie Sandquist.

“Skir ts add an element of glamour and fashion to the spor t, which a lot of girls appreciate.”

In contrast, unlike women tennis players, some women lacrosse players have different opinions on having to wear skir ts for their lacrosse unifor ms.

“Wearing skir ts in lacrosse can be extremely restricting,” said junior Heidy Young. “Running with shor ts would be so much more convenient.”

The discrepancy in opinions between lacrosse and tennis players can also be traced back to the roots of each spor t.

Tennis has been around for over a centur y and has fans among all age

to be made.

“I g rew up in the era where you had to wear tennis underwear,” said coach Ruchaber. “Now those g ranny panties were not okay!”

Let us all be g rateful no one has to g o through that anymore.

The debate over women wearing skir ts in spor ts will perhaps always be up for discussion, but it is clear that Jesuit’s women tennis players feel that no changes to the unifor m is necessar y.

Sexism in sports uniforms?

Naod Aynalem, ’15

B

oth of Jesuit’s Women’s Lacrosse and Tennis teams are required to wear skir ts as a par t of their unifor ms.

As opposed to many other women’s spor ts, shor ts or spandex are wor n, such as basketball and volleyball, tennis and lacrosse players wear unifor ms that other people might reg ard as “sexist.”

The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) was founded in 1973. Since the beginning of this association, skir ts and dresses have been an expected par t of the attire, and since have g ained popular tiy with younger generations. Since the WTA’s creation, it has become an unquestioned par t of the spor t.

“As a tennis player myself, I like wearing skir ts,” said tennis head coach Kirsten Ruchaber. “It’s comfor table and is actually useful.”

Beyond the comfor t and fashionability, there is a practical use to wearing

g roups. The tradtition of wearing skir ts and even in some cases dresses, has been around for such a long time that tennis players and fans are less likely to question the unifor m.

Lacrosse has become increasingly popular over the past ten years. Most people would now consider it to be a “moder n spor t,”after its surge in number of players.

Lacrosse, being a much more contemporar y spor t, leads its players and fans to be more questioning of the unifor m because of the lack of a long-standing tradition behind the unifor m.

Lacrosse is a spor t that involves a lot more r unning up and down a field than tennis does. When it comes to being able to perfor m at their peak, some lacrosse players would prefer wearing shor ts.

“The skir ts can ride up a lot,” said junior Mar y Makowski. “Sometimes I wor r y that a wardrobe malfunction may happen at any moment.”

The skir ts make the players feel confident and comfor table.

“Skir ts make me feel like a female, and I love it,” said freshman tennis player Bailey Cook.

Preference between

skir ts and shor ts are up to the individual. At the end of the day, it’s about what makes these young women feel the most comfor table in their own skin. Having a unifor m that makes the players feel confident and comfor table is impor tant to playing a g reat g ame.

Women’s spor ts have come a long way and seem to come under criticism quite often. The progess the women have made in the spor ts world is amazing, but also has many big improvements

his year’s 14th Annual Nike Twilight Relays once again showcased the best of regional prep track under the bright lights of Jesuit High School.

Every spring, teams from the west coast gather at Cronin field to compete headto- head in a variety of track and field events, taking place in both an afternoon and twilight session. Over 50 teams are represented, all running on the recently installed, high performance polyurethane track surface.

Most revere this track as one of the Northwest’s premier High School Track and Field facilities, as well they should. Jesuit athletes, however, are lucky enough to call the place home.

light Relays are at Jesuit makes the whole thing way more special,” said sophomore runner Katie Leavy. “Competing against some of the fastest runners in the country on our own home turf really gives us an edge in the races and events.”

But the buzzing atmosphere of the meet comes from more than just a top of the line track. On Friday the 2nd, hundreds of athletes started pouring into Cronin as early as noon, perusing the numerous tents and mingling with fellow high school track and field participants.

“The beautiful thing about [The Twilight Relays] is that even though it’s a stiff competition, everyone still comes together and enjoys the experience of the meet,” comments sophomore sprinter Ry-

lie Keudell. “Everyone is just so excited to run that we can all forget about the names on our jerseys and focus on the pure spirit of the meet.”

And who could blame them? As soon as the sun sets, the stadium lights flick on and illuminate all of Cronin, adding to the exhilaration of the meet and giving the event its name.

Later the athletes come together with one to take pictures, answer interview questions, buy souvenir shirts, and of course, cheer on their teammates.

“Running under the lights with hundreds of people and connecting with [runners] that I’ve never met before makes the whole experience absolutely unbeatable,” said sophomore runner Zoe Fanning. “Twilight is hands down the best meet of the year.”

oach Thurley thinks “student of the game” when it comes to senior varsity soccer player, Tyler

Street.

With all that Street has accomplished over his four years playing for the Jesuit Soccer team, it isn’t hard to believe that he started playing at a young age.

Amazingly, his soccer career began at the age of four.

A natural leader, Street has played outside midfield and center midfield his entire life. At Jesuit, his main position is center-mid, which is equivalent to the quarterback or pitcher, he is the “playmaker.”

Street has always had dreams of taking his soccer career to the next level; some would say it is in his blood. Street’s brother and Jesuit Alumni, Cody Street ’13, plays soccer for Gonzaga University.

And next year, Street will be playing for St. John’s University; but this great achievement did not come without its obstacles.

Last November, during the state championship game against Central Catholic, Street severely injured his knee.

“I went to clear the ball off of a bad touch from a Central player. The player slid in late, so I went to jump over him and landed weird,” said Street. “While landing, all my weight was on my right leg but my body was shifting to the left, causing my knee to shift to the side. I heard a loud pop and immediately collapsed to the ground holding my knee. Trainer Jen told me right away that I tore my ACL. I found out a week later from my MRI that

in late July to begin training with the St. John’s soccer team, where he was recruited last year during a college showcase.

After a lot of thought, he knew it was the school he wanted to represent across his chest on the soccer field.

“I think the thing I’m most excited about is the fact that I achieved my dream of playing college soccer,” said Street. “The fact that when I play, I can say I fought back from a major injury that some people don’t come back from is also a plus. I’m looking forward to playing at such a high level of soccer, it will be a great experience for me.”

As Street starts the next chapter of his soccer career, he will never forget the past four years he has spent practicing, training, and playing on Cronin Field.

“The thing I will remember the most about our team is just the sense of being a family. They were like a second family to me and I don’t think I’d be where I am in my recovery if it weren’t for them,” said Street.

“They continue to be there for me and push me to keep fighting.

The fact that they dedicated winning the state championship to me brought tears to my eyes and I wouldn’t have wanted to share this experience with anyone else.

Another thing I’ll always remember is TRACK 16. Singing that song with those guys after a hard win is something ill always remember.”

Thurley’s last piece of advice for Street is “Keep enjoying it, stay hungry.”

Cristiano Ronaldo is also under lots of scrutiny this year due to knee problems paired with high hopes of winning the World Cup for Portugal.

Portlanders are hoping their dream of a professional baseball team comes true .

MLB in Portland Andy Bryan, ’15

W

ith recent r umors circulating a b o u t Po r t l a n d being considered the next city to host a Major League B a s e b a l l f r a n ch i s e, b a s e ball fans seem quite optim i s t i c. M e a n w h i l e, o t h e r s c a n o n l y s h a ke t h e i r h e a d s and remember the past years of troubled baseball t e a m s i n Po r t l a n d .

Baseball first came to Portland in 1866 when the Pioneer Baseball Club was founded for the men of the east side.

However, it was not until 1890 that the city created a professional franchise.In May of that year, the Portland Webfeet were established. Unfortunately for anyone who was expecting a good season, the team went a meag er 16-16 in their first full year.

Adding insult to injur y, they missed the tour nament ever y year until the team moved in 1896.

Years and teams alike passed through Portland, like the Portland Pippens and the Portland Colts.

New hope was finally afoot with word breaking that AAA baseball (the highest minor level of the MLB) would be back in the city.

In 1978, the Por tland Beavers were established. T he team had ver y low expectations for themselves as well as the fans.

T he team would finish four th in the division, yet still manag ed to win all of their playoff g ames in the post season, leading to a championship.

Portland finally had a team to give the city hope.

Unfortunately, the team went on to fall under the same curse that had plagued Por tland baseball in years past: a consistent lack of talent. T hey would eventually be sold to the Colorado Rockies org anization in 1995.

Still, g ood news would ar rive once ag ain in the for m of the San Dieg o Padres. T he Padres purchased the Beavers from the Los Ang eles Dodg ers, who had purchased them from the Rockies.

Regardless of the way the team was reacquired, the city was once again (albeit, skeptically) hopeful for the return of the “one hit wonder” franchise.

The Beavers gave it one last go, but following suit . of every team prior, struggled mightily to compete at a high level.

Throughout the rest of their time in Portland, the Beavers never had another winning season.

Only one player, Will Venebles, made it to the MLB from the Beavers in their 10-year retur n.

Even worse, the Padres were in last place in their division ever y year the Beavers were in existence.

Luckily, Por tland is a fairly “forgive and forg et” city when it comes to its spor ts teams, so opti mism is still ver y much in the air as fans look forward to a potential fran chise. W hether it happens or not, Por tland’s door is as open as it will ever be.

“Unfortunately, the team went on to fall under the same curse that had plagued Portland baseball in years past: a consistent lack of talent ”

ummer is just around the corner, and to help Portlanders prepare for an event-filled summer, here is a list of things to do in our popular city:

1. Imagine an icecream shop filled with several different flavors that can only be found at this particular store. Throughout the days of summer, the shop continuously has what seems like a never ending line of people streaming out the door.

Welcome to Portland’s ice-cream hot-spot, Salt ‘n Straw. Salt ‘n Straw is located at 3345 SE Division St Portland, OR, 2035 NE Alberta St Portland, OR and is open from 11 A.M. to 11 P.M. daily. The Salt ‘n Straw shop and bakery is located at 838 NW 23rd Ave Portland, OR and is open from 10 A.M. to 11 P.M. daily.

The shop is owned and run by Kim and Tyler Malek, who have wanted to open an ice-cream store since 1996.

Currently, the dynamic duo are serving up unique flavors such as honey balsamic strawberry

with cracked pepper and pear with blue cheese. Although these flavors may seem appalling, many find Salt n’ Straw’s flavors to be deliciously addicting.

“Salt n’ Straw is the best place to get ice cream, hands down,” said sophomore Kenzie Johnson. “They have a wide variety of flavors you can’t find anywhere else.”

2. Any fans of mini golf can be found putt-putting their way down to the famous Glowing Green’s miniature golf course. After descending into the depths of Glowing Green, costumers begin their black-light adventure and enter the brightly neon-colored course. The popular mini-golf course is located in the heart of Portland on 509 SW Taylor St.

“Mini-golfing is tons of fun,” said junior golfer Riley Pendergast. “Glowing Greens is different because it’s the only place I’ve been to with a blacklight.”

3. Those obsessed with Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, or Paranormal State, meet Portland’s Beyond

Bizarre Ghost Tour. The sellout tours began in Portland a few years ago by Jefferson Davis and Karan H., the founders of the Ghost Tour.

At the beginning of the tour, the guides provide hunting equipment which are used throughout the tour. The guides then take risk-takers down under the streets of Chinatown and Old Town to attempt to locate the infamous Nina, a ghost known to haunt the 1885 Merchant Hotel.

“I’ve never heard of anything like the Beyond Bizarre Ghost Tour,” said sophomore horror-film-fan Kate Huckey. “As a fan of Ghost Adventures, I’ll definitely have to go on the tour.”

Tours take place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 7 P.M, and for adults 10 P.M. The tour begins outside the Big Red Arrow Concierge Commons in the Merchant Hotel Building at 202 NW Davis St. (between 2nd & 3rd Aves) in Old Town/Chinatown. All ages are welcome.

If all else fails, just look around and check out them hipsters!

How to make some money over the summer break

Pete Haslach, ’14

W

ith summer just around the corner, many Jesuit students are looking at their employment prospects.

While many consider the summer as a time for leisure, students such as senior Jacob Cusick will be working.

“This summer I’m going to work cleaning pools,” said Cusick.

More often Jesuit students work jobs that employ physical labor, or in retail positions. With the number of youth working seasonal jobs skyrocketing, many consider now to be the time to begin seeking employment.

“Employment is easy to find for the summer, so long as you know the right people,” said senior Eduardo Palacios, who is currently seeking employment.

Often students choose to soak up the sun, with some students working at summer camps, leading

tours, or blazing trails. More often, though, students work indoors in warehouses and coffee shops.

Many consider summer jobs to be more than a paycheck, but rather as a source of valuable life lessons, like learning how to work well with others, and having a good work ethic are extremely valuable skills that people learn working summer jobs.

Others see a job as a source of independence in lieu of youthful rebellion. Considering that for many it is difficult to find employment, finding a summer job can lead a boost in future employment as one would be able to add the work experience to their resume, and have the necessary job references.

“Generally, when I am looking for someone to work for me, I will chose someone who already has experience in a similar field than someone without prior experience,” said Sara Burton, owner of Girl Scout location services.

Having work experience

gives students a leg up when seeking employment after the summer, which is advantageous with more people trying to gain income through employment every day.

“I’m going to be working at Alpenrose moving crates, and unloading trucks,” said senior Patrick Hickam.

Another advantage of working over the summer is also having an income, which some feel provides them with a feeling of independence.

Due to the influx of young workers, along with those seeking employment, jobs have become increasingly scarce, and employers are more likely to hire someone who already has experience working in a similar field.

Overall, finding a summer job can be a huge advantage to highschoolers both in the short term, and in the long term. With summer coming up, the best time to begin searching for a job is right now.

ince this is the final paper of the year, Hunter and I would like to share some of the late night secrets with this selective audience.

At 3:00pm we gather and Jack Bell shouts, “9:15 everyone! Lot of energy! Lot of focus!” The mischief begins when James turns on some funky tunes, starting every late night with Funky Town

by Lipps INC. Next, Mr. Falkner enters the room with a grocery cart full of groceries from Fred Meyer. These groceries include: gushers, goldfish, 10 bars of solid gold, salt and pepper kettle chips, a newly newborn infant, chicken strips, and a selective brand name carton of Pinapple Orange Guava juice, occasioanlly referred to as “POG”.

You’re likely wondering who mediates a night as exciting yet productive as Late Night? Mr. Dan Falkner. He can usually be found in his back office, deteriorating his

hat time of year is coming around, where seniors are inevitably heading off to college. There is a lot to do before moving in to your respective dor mitories next year, and one could argue that the most important task to complete is packing the essentials. The hard part is making sure you don’t leave anything behind, so I have taken the liberty to compile a list of essentials to bring to college next year.

• Gameboy Advance SP with Pokémon Emerald already inserted • A mini-fridge preloaded with Kool-Aid, Capri Sun, and Root Beer • Flip-flops • A 5 pack of Hanes tighty whities • Your dog • Your imaginary friend from when you were in 7th grade and you were way too old to have an imaginary friend and people made fun of you be-

spine as he works diligently to add to his fun and unique bracelet collection using the hot commodity and trend of 2014, the Rainbow Loom.

The page review process is a particularly long and arduous task. During the time when students are waiting for their page to be reviewed by one of the senior editors, such as Shea Morgan, a number of staff members mysteriously disappear, only to reappear five minutes later drinking oddly colored beverages from Big Gulp™ cups.

The source of the mysterious Big Gulps™ is currently unknown.

The journalism crew is full of many different personalities which has a tendency to shine most brightly at Late Night. You’ve got your jocks, like Naod and Coyle, who can be found almost always dribbling a basketball.

On the other hand, Frances sits in her corner quietly thinking of above average jokes. Then you’ve got your squad five members consist-

ing of Jack, James, Hunter, Pete, and Marianne. Typically, they can be found in the Arrupe Triangle gardening with Mr. Lum, but in a cool and intimidating manner.

Once in a while, the journalism crew is joined by the class mascot, an apatosaurus named Karen. She leads the journalism class by helping to edit the Humor I page.

Other than that Karen poses for pictures with the journalism staff.

Meanwhile indoors, Hunter Henninger and Claire Powell singlehandedly craft the entire masterpiece we affectionately refer to as the Jesuit Crusader Newspaper.

The most humorous aspect of this entire article is that neither Claire or Hunter actually wrote this.

While it may seem that Late Night consists of only fun, games, and a plethora of random dancing, there is a fair amount of hard work that also goes into creating small master pieces such as this article.

Riley Hoffman will have you singing “ Boo thang” in the car.

Sagittarius: Take risks this summer Sagittarius because you are filled with potential. Maybe this means jumping barrels or maybe just texting senior Cole Jacobson. Either way… it may be worth the risk.

e are here to announce the initiation of a new member of the journalism crew.

Her name is Karen. Karen came from humble beginnings. She was found in the lower Arrupe storage closet on a Wednesday afternoon, sad, lonely, and lifeless. As always, the journalism community came together to fill this poor, fragile, deflated soul with love, but, more importantly, air.

She soon rose from the depths of despair and was welcomed with open arms and lots of care. At first, Karen was a bit reckless; not

ross country star and quirky commodity of the senior class, Jake Wilson will soon become a household name. After featuring as an extra in the James Franco film Flyboys (2006) in which he was the photo double for French Infantryman 2, Wilson made it his life goal to follow in Franco’s footsteps, almost too literally.

Just how far of lengths has Jake Wilson gone to pay homage to his celebrity idol? On the night of the Comedy Central premier of “The Roast of James Franco”, Jake had a quaint soiree at his Forest Heights home in which he served only roasted entrees.

His favorite afterschool snack? Diced pineapples and Panda Express. The name of his female purebred cocker spaniel? Seth Rogen. And what is that coarse and stringy tassel you may have seen clipped on to the edge of Jake’s backpack as he navigates through upper Arrupe? A keychain of Franco’s hair that Wilson claimed the rights to in a competitive ebay bidding-war.

Over the years, Jake has acquired a surplus of James Franco memorabilia, ranging from several dozen autographed headshots to the actual severed prosthetic limb featured in the 2010 film “127 Hours”.

When asked what qualities about James Franco have caused Wilson to form such a

fond admiration, he responded without second thought.

“James Franco is the epitome of perfection. The fact that his hair parts differently in each of his television appearances and the way his eyes squint like that of a crescent moon are the reasons which inspire me to follow my dreams,” Wilson explained.

Before attending the University of Southern California, an institute at which Franco currently teaches a screenwriting course, Wilson plans to legally change his name.

“This has been a topic I’ve discussed with my parents for a while, and they’re fully supportive of me,” tells Wilson, “By mid-June my legal name will be Jacob Ocnarf, which is ‘Franco’ spelled backwards. I’m hoping that in college I might develop the nickname ‘Narf’ or something of the like”.

As for Wilson’s plans for the summer, he intends to take several online courses and make the most of his time at home.

“I actually want to be an engineer but because I’m enrolled in four of James’ screenwriting courses during the school year I have to take most of my classes before the school year even begins”, he explains.

With a soul of dedication and a heart filled with passion, Jake Wilson may in fact be the greatest Franco fan to ever exist.

This is the end.

knowing her own strength, she nearly crushed our very own James Wisniewski.

But like any responsible parents would, we taught Karen to learn from her mistakes and she quickly came into her own, learning to use her power for good instead of evil.

Fortunately, Karen is an herbivore so we dodged that bullet.

Karen accomplished a plethora of things at her short time at Jesuit. Singlehandedly she earned Jesuit five state championships aka FIVE new banners, but she did not stop there. She led an encounter, aced Calc BC, she solved the rubix cube, and even road tripped cross country with Mr. Manning.

Before we knew it, Karen

took up many important leadership roles in the class. After winning journalist of the day three times in a row, we knew it was time for Karen to move on to bigger and better things. It all happened so fast; now Karen can be found in the Arrupe rectangle only at mid-dawn after the second full moon of every month.

Occasionally, we receive one or two post cards from Karen. She’s quite the world traveler: from the sphinx in Egypt, to the Collesium in Rome.

While Karen is out re-writing history, and changing world, like any Jesuit grad at graduation, we can only follow her humble example. We reflect upon the distant, but real memories, we shared with our dear Karen.

harlene, the senior class’ beloved spider, was the main star of this article.

This magnificent spider was previously located on the outside of the bank of windows; an informational sign was accompanying it.

The senior class had watched this spider grow and mature in a true Jesuit fashion.

It was beginning to grasp the requirements of a graduate at graduation: loving, intellectually competent, religious, committed to doing justice, and open to growth. On top of all of this, Charlene became the proud mother of 5,000 precious baby spiders. She started her family in a strong, safe home, or so she thought.

On Wednesday, April 30th, this outstanding arachnid and her 5,000 children were nowhere to be found. I was quite upset, because I had already written my article on this integral component of the Jesuit community. I came to Journalism class, and began to ask around. Some reoccurring names that had continuously been mentioned upon my research were seniors Sydney Sirgy and Claire Powell.

In the United States of America, one is innocent until proven guilty, and this certainly applies to this situation. So, I went out to find out the truth, just as any sophisticated investigative journalist should. Sirgy pleaded the 5th… suspicious.

After a man hunt, and several wanted posters set up around the school, I was able to get in

contact with Powell. She also declined to comment on the situation… extremely suspicious.

As all my leads turned up nothing, I turned to a reliable source, senior Franes Skakel, a close friend of Powell. I asked Skakel if she had heard on anything about this situation. She responded by saying that Powell had confided in her, but Skakel felt that justice needed to be served.

“Claire came up to me and said ‘I killed the spider. That big massive disgusting spider in senior hall,”’ said Skakel.

At last, my big break in the mystery. Sirgy and Powell were responsible for the killing.

While Sirgy and Powell removing Charlene’s web, it looks like they got tangled up in a web of their own.

Notable Owners: Cece Wehrley, Cole Jacobsen, Frances Skakel Sedan: You are clever. You are extremely good looking, and your intelligence is often underestimated. You maneuver relationships and friendships very well. You are relatively quick and speedy when it comes to making decisions, but not as crazy as an owner of a sports car. You fall… hard.

Notable Owners: Indy Hickman, Cece Alexander, Matt Bauer Crossover: You are an interesting breed. You are neither here nor there.

You have a big personality, but you conceal it. You are at your best when people are around you. You can be the life of the party, when you choose to.

Notable Owners: Bailey Enghouse, Claire Powell

Notable Owners: John Melito, Matt Bauer Red: You are flashy, and you pull. it. off. You want people to notice you, and they do. You have a vivacious personality, and you love to laugh.

Relationships come easy to you.

Notable Owners: Elle Wentross, Trent Werner White: You are clean cut and organized. You are well put together, and respect yourself. You have all of your binders organized and there is a good chance you use binder dividers. You are social, and everyone likes you. You love to have a good time, and you tend towards long-term relationships.
