Finally! They’re leaving. Those so called “top dogs” of the school, the school’s pride and joy. They’ve cut us all off in the lunch line, won every competition between the grades, and skipped through the halls making faces at us poor souls who are required to have a full schedule. But finally, this “breezing through” class of perpetrators is going to leave. FOREVER. (Insert victory cries hidden behind fake sobs and sniffles.) Okay, I’ll admit it, most of us will be carrying around buckets to catch our tears over the great seniors that will be leaving these halls. They’ve been our peers, friends, and mentors for years, leading us with their experienced knowledge and (sometimes) warning us before we make their mistakes. However, while the mascara runs down faces and the trash fills with wrinkled tissues, some students will be racing forward to nab the spots the seniors leave behind. Already, most of the noteworthy spots and positions have been fought for in wordy battles. We all know the new SBOs, all of whom are ready to toss the old SBOs off the stage and bask in the spotlight. More recently, though, all the grades have chosen the people to represent them as class officers. Makayla Kendall, Morgan Branch, Tim Covington, and Delayna Tolbert will be the sophomore officers. Katie Wickel, Jared Rowley, McKay Christensen, and Jacob Newey will be the junior officers. Jessica Wallace, Rachel Lepien, Sara Davis, Jennie Jarrett, and Kiel West will be the senior class officers for the 2013/2014 school year. For those of you who don’t know, the class officers are in charge of representing their grade during Homecoming Week by creating a class float and decorating a

class window. They also decorate the halls during Homecoming and Christmas. Junior class officers plan Prom and the senior class officers plan Senior Ball. Additionally, this year’s outgoing juniors have battled it out to steal the titles of this year’s Sterling Scholars. Next year, Shan Sherwood will be Agricultural Science, Ashley Whimpey will be Business and Marketing Education, and Savannah Behrmann will be Dance. Two Jessicas will be Sterling Scholars, as Jessica Wallace will be English and Jessika Kenison will be Family and Consumer Science. Sara Davis will be Foreign Language, Jeff Rowley will be General, and Kenneth Bonzo will be Mathematics. Representing Juab for Music will be Ashley Atkinson, Science will be Tanya Oldham, and Social Science will be Aubrey Jones. Sam Holladay will be Speech and Drama, Walker Memmott will be Trade and Technical Education, and Visual Art will be Rachel Dye. That’s more Sterling Scholars than last year. In fact, only one Sterling Scholar position was left unclaimed (Computer and Information Tech.) It’s crazy how eager students want precious positions. Don’t forget the clubs. Already, organizations like NHS, FBLA, TARS, and GYC have had officer elections. The seniors won’t have to worry about leaving any holes; their positions have already been claimed. JHS will miss their seniors (no sarcasm this time). They’ve been good examples (for the most part), and have been lots of fun over the years. I personally, have enjoyed the seniors (shout out to my awesome Advanced Composition class), but school must still go on without them. Next year the students mentioned above will shoulder the task of filling in their huge, smelly shoes.

Beckham Retires After 21 years of inspiring soccer play, David Beckham is choosing to retire at the age of 38. Hurricane Sandy Hurricane Sandy affected 24 states, including the entire eastern seaboard from Florida to Maine and west across the Appalachian Mountains to Michigan. Severe damage in particular was in New Jersey and New York. Damage is estimated at over $71 billion. Hurricane Sandy was the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of 2012, as well as the second-costliest hurricane in United States history. Movie Theatre Massacre On July 20, 2012, a mass shooting occurred inside a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.

Editorials & Opinions Letter From the Editor

Ashley Whimpey Editor-in-Chief Strapped into my backpack, having glanced at a copy of The Times News before school, and toting an anxious heart, I walked into my very first class of my very first Journalism education. Along with six other students, our extremely tiny staff nervously asked to take the torch of the JHS school paper. The biggest catch, not only had just one of the seven of us ever been part of The Clarion before, but there weren’t even enough of us to fill all the spots for a page. Mrs. Bassett claimed the eighth page, and we stepped up to create something while knowing next to nothing about how. This is when the beauty of newspaper stung me like a Juab Wasp. In Jr. High I had always tackled my brother to snag his copy of The Clarion he brought home. I marveled at the student’s being

able to do things “only grown ups can do,” and I was convinced they were the best of the best. At the beginning of this year, it seemed I was finally among the ranks of the staffers and would be filling the shoes of the people I used to admire. It’s been the most incredible journey I could ask for. When the second issue came around, and I suddenly was allowed to not only be part of The Clarion, but be editor. I was ecstatic. The most exciting part was, and is, paper-out-day. You, our readers, our critics, cheerleaders, and incredible supporters, make it all worth it. The extra hours after school, extra miles gone to get an article done, or the last minute photo hunts, all made each issue a special operation to promote The Student Voice. In every issue, there were problems and complaints to go alongside the successes and praise. As this year’s editor, I cannot explain enough how much we love feedback, good and bad. We want to deliver the best paper for our community, and I love when we can showcase the wonderful things that are part of the environment we live in, or offer more of something our readers love. So many students have wonderful accomplishments to be highlighted, interesting thoughts to be shared, and faces that are so

beautiful they just must be photographed! When we can produce something tangible, and professional, on a student level, I am undeniably proud. As our staff has grown, shrunk again, and grown once more, we’ve stepped up each time. Thank you firstly to my amazing staff, because I would have nothing to edit or give to our fantastic community without you. Next, thank you to the student body. Thank you for reading and giving us something to write about with all the things you do and think! A thank you also goes out to the community, and anyone else who picks up a copy of The Clarion. Faithful readers, casual waitingroom-glancers, or relatives that receive copies, we love all of you. Your feedback and support is crucial to the thriving success we’ve experienced. Finally, a thank you to Mrs. Bassett. Taking on a laughably small and hilariously ignorant staff at the beginning of the year, pushing forward with our ambition to put out issue after issue of a beautiful paper, and unrelenting support and guidance when things got frustrating or complicated. Thank you a million thanks. I hope you’ll look for my name in print again in the future.

Parking Passes Are Grrreat!

Jace Cook Photo Guru Parking passes are great! They really brought in some money. The school has sold 420 parking passes at $15.00 each. They have made a grand total of about $6,300 dollars! This money goes toward parking lot maintenance and all that cool stuff! Even though the parking passes are really great, there are still the people who think that it isn’t worth the money, or they forget to

put the pass in the car they drive. This can result in a lot a trouble. Officer Villar says, “ I Give about 10 tickets a month, and I try to check faculty parking everyday.” The tickets are about $20 tickets, and that money goes to the perfect attendance fund. That ticket is $5 dollars more than the parking pass. Will it be the same next year? The administration has been talking and they have talked about using stickers next year instead of the hanging mirror pass. This is great but it will make it more difficult to switch from car to car. Parking passes were a great step for our school to make and they are trying hard to improve and make the parking passes a better system all the time.

Sincerely yours, Ashley Whimpey 2012-2013 Editor in Chief

The Ultimate Editorial

Samuel Holladay Staff Writer As any learned journalist could tell you, the editorial page is the lifeblood of the newspaper. The rest of the newspaper is, or at least should be, well-researched, balanced, fair news. We give you the facts, and you read them, knowing they’re (probably) true and relevant. But those kind of articles are boring. It’s the editorial page that allows voices to be heard. This is a page based entirely in bias, prejudice, and pure opinion. Of all the pages in a newspaper, the editorial page has gotta be the most American. Just about anything goes as the writer aspires to turning you

on to their way of thinking. So as the school year wraps up, I’ve got to write my ultimate editorial. I’ve got to express as many opinions of mine as I can here, whether you care or not, because that’s what editorial pages are for, gosh darn it! First off, breakfast foods are the greatest foods. Cereal, pancakes, waffles, bacon, etc. It’s all amazing. Sometimes I wonder why anyone would eat anything other than breakfast food, and then I remember that people are fools. Next, I’m going to go on record as saying Dr. Horrible’s SingAlong Blog is the perfect movie. I mean, if you can call it a movie, of course. It’s only 40 minutes long. But those 40 minutes will change your life. It has songs. It’s hilarious. It’s got Neil Patrick Harris. It’s on Netflix. Just watch it. Thirdly, I believe I know a thing or two about good music. Go listen to the Strokes, Vampire Weekend, the Black Keys, the Shins, the White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, Phoenix, the Fratellis, Voxtrot, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Two Door Cinema Club, Cold War Kids, the Temper Trap, and/or Arcade Fire.

You can’t go wrong. You want politics in this editorial? You got it. I think guns are bad. I think tax cuts for the rich are pretty silly. I think global warming is real and that we should take care of our environment. I think freedom of religion applies to all religions and not just my own. Now let’s get off of politics before I say something you guys really disagree with. I guess I should end this ultimate editorial with something about Juab High School. I have my frustrations with school; everyone does. However, it seems like Juab genuinely tries to give us the best high school experience possible. And most of the time, they do a really good job of doing so. Our sports and clubs receive adequate funding, technology is embraced and taken advantage of in our classrooms, and our teachers care about us. Say what you will about Juab, but it really is pretty great. Phew. That’s about all the opinions I have room for here. Editorials are something, aren’t they? Heck, newspapers are. I can’t wait to be back on the Clarion staff next year. You all have a great summer!

“The Mr. and Ms. X column is...extraneous.”

Dear Editor, I know that I’m not alone when I say that I am so grateful for the Speech and Debate program and for the impact that it has had on me. Everyone always seems to be so skeptical when they hear how amazing Speech and Debate is. Well, it is that amazing, although, “you get out of it what you put into it”. If there is anyone out there trying to figure out whether or not they should do Speech and Debate, I strongly encourage you to just try it. If you stick it out for a semester and give it your best effort, I guarantee that you will see incredible benefits before the semester is over. I was completely against joining it as a freshman because I thought it was only for super-smart people, people that liked getting up and speaking in front of others, or people that want to be politicians. But when my friends finally convinced me to do it junior year, I learned that anyone can be successful in the program, no matter our talents, because Speech and Debate is such a diverse program. From arguing a topic that’s been researched all year, to coming up with short inspirational speeches in two minutes, to doing a short humorous act with your friend, there is something for every type of person. I see amazing changes in students that participate in Speech and Debate from the beginning of the year to the end. I noticed amazing changes in myself. I started high school very shy and non ambitious. But now, thanks to Speech and Debate, I can get up and speak in front of people without breaking a sweat, I can play an audience, it’s a synch to write papers, and I have incredible research skills. Another benefit is that Speech and Debate looks really good on an application. I put Speech and Debate on every college application and scholarship application. Of all the classes at the high school that I took to prepare for college, Speech and Debate was without a doubt and by far the most valuable to me. Thanks Speech & Debate and thank you so much Swens. Sincerely, Danielle Lynn (12)

Mr & Ms. X: Frauds?

Dear Mr. and Ms. X,

I am simply outraged at this severely hypocritical institution you run. Not too long ago, Juab High School saw the dismissal of the Mr. and Ms. X column due to the lack of participation. Now that the Clarion has welcomed back you phony love doctors, what participation you get is shunned! I say this because a few months ago, I sent in a desperate plea for help with my relationship issues and saw no reply. And that was months ago! Plenty of time to formulate a response whilst answering the calls of others seeking advice! So I will state this: The Mr. and Mrs. X column is an extraneous component of the Clarion and should be done away with, save that you reply to your readers always. And in good time. Otherwise, you shall be exposed as the selective frauds you are. I look at you with distaste. Good day to you, sirs (because we all know you are both male). Hurtfully, offended-ly, disgustedly yours, My Grandma Loves Me (yes, that is my code name) P.S. Mr. X- Perhaps you would be more successful in your advicegiving if you would quit objectifying women. We are not pieces of meat. You are obviously not in control of your base impulses, since your crude descriptions are a recurring trend.

Where are the seniors?

The answer to that for most of

them is in CALIFORNIA! That’s right, The seniors are in sunny California. After graduation, students loaded busses for their annual trek. On Thursday May 23 the seniors will arrive in Disneyland and later that day they will go to Balboa Beach. Later that night they will have a pizza party at their hotel. Friday May 24 the seniors will travel to Universal Studios Hollywood and will walk Hollywood Blvd and storm the mall. That evening they will attend a Dodg-

ers game. Lucky them. Saturday May 25 the seniors will depart for Knott’s Berry Farm and ride some amazing rides such as the Boomerang, GhostRider, Xcelerator and Bigfoot Rapids. When they are done they will go to IN-N-Out Burger, or chow down on a cold Subway sandwich. They will make their way through Las Vegas and travel through the night. Sunday May 26 After a few days of fun in the sun the Seniors return to Juab High School and continue the summer.

Tuesday, May 21st was the Senior Farewell assembly, with Local Scholarship awards announced from 10:00 a.m. to 10:40 a.m. in the gym. Wednesday, May 22 is GRADUATION DAY. Breakfast will be served to the seniors, faculty, and staff. This will be a regular day for all the students. Thursday, May 23rd the FFA will be hosting the softball tourna-

Ashley Whimpey Editor-in-Chief Kenneth Bonzo and Aubrey Jones recently had the opportunity of a lifetime to embark on an incredible trip with the President of Snow College, four chaperones, and twenty-two college students from Snow’s world history class to see the east coast. Their all-expense paid trip included Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Virginia, Lexington & Concord, Gettysburg, and Washington DC. It was a last minute offer brought to Juab by the Snow College president after a few of the spots unexpectedly opened up, and both students jumped for the chance. Bonzo wasn’t even at school the Friday (they left the following Sunday) the call came seeking spot fillers. “I was trying to listen to the national anthem at a graduation and my mom called me like, ‘Kenneth there is this amazing opportunity, you’ll be going to Boston for a week!’” Bonzo had to ask his mother to wait out “basically sitting there listening to the anthem” until he could figure out what she was talking about. Aubrey Jones threw together her suitcase and jumped on a plan extremely excited. “My favorite part of the trip was not only seeing all the sights, but all the new people I met,” said Jones. “It’s crazy how close you become to people you’ve only known for a week.” Their week with the students included a lot of learning about important historical events, but Bonzo said the most valuable thing he learned was, “how nice it is here in Utah! There’s clean air, and real mountains -- not just

little hills.” He also said, “It’s very crowded, it makes Salt Lake look like a drop in the bucket, and they’re also much ruder there. Seriously, they’re all ‘Ah! Shove you into the street!” It’s a trip both students will keep in some of their favorite memories forever. “Seeing all the history behind our country is incredible. It gives you a better understanding of what our country has gone through when you see it first hand,” said Jones. “I wish all the kids here at Juab had the opportunity to really go back there and see, and understand,” said Bonzo. With brains full of new memories, appreciation, and understanding, the two returned home from their world travels completely exhausted and eternally grateful for their unbelievable experience.

What Makes you run

Ashley Whimpey Editor-in-Chief All men are competitive. All men wish to prove themselves. Some men (and women) do so with simple, irresputable, black and white wins. If I can run from point A to point B before you can, I am faster. I am therefore better. The appeal of Track and Field, ladies and gentleman. It began with the simple “point A to point B” and quickly developed. However, unlike other sports that also came from a modest beginning, the developments did not disrupt its simplicity. Other sports gained refs, subjectivity, entire books full of rules and regulations, new lines were added to play areas, new requirements of what to wear or how to play. Track and field remained beautifully basic. The simplicity is best demonstrated by it’s appearance in the lives of children. Kids don’t know anything about track and field and probably not the Olympics, but they know if they run from A to B before the others, they’re faster. Lined up at the swings, they’ll take off across the black asphalt basketball court, and finish by touching the hoop before anyone else can. Transitioning from children on the playground to the warriors on our track team, everyone begins to fall into categories of highlighted performance. Whatever basic human attribute they can do best, has

a chance to be isolated and showcased through track and field. Maybe some of them can’t run very quickly in a short distance, but can outlast the others in endurance with a modest speed. Enter: the list of events. “Everyone can run though,” claim the nay-sayers of track and field. Can you run forever? Two mile, one mile, how far can you go? A speed too slow to stomp out the competition in the 100 yard dash is absolutely fast enough to squash those other athletes when point “A-and-B” become “A-andQ”. Or maybe it was the speed you wanted. Dash away my friends. No need to endure long distances, just get those legs jump started. Proving the ability to ignite instantaneously. Let’s talk about jumping. Let’s talk about strength. It’s the only chance a person will have in their entire lifetime to prove they can twist their body over a pole set higher than anyone else. Some athletes can jump out, not just up. A short sprint and a jump a few feet forward earn them a prize for prints left further. Adding back the traditional running, we give jumpers a chance to show their stuff again with hurtles. Clear them all before the rest, earn a medal. Back to strength, the athletes all stand at the same place. They’re

given different objects and promised, yes, a medal, if they can propel a sphere, disk, or javelin (spear) the farthest. Speed, endurance, strength; it all adds up to a moment of glory: a medal. The beauty of earning a medal (jumping, running, or throwing their way there) is the athlete has an undisputable claim upon it. Twenty seconds behind is twenty seconds behind. The clocks don’t lie, cheat, or make up new rules. They measure time. The tapes measure distance. It’s a clear, black and white win. In our ever developing world, it’s evident the lives we live, games we are playing, or paths to moments of glory ending in medals, are growing more complicated, more dynamic and complex. It’s the raw competition of track and field that’s still so enormously appealing, though. It’s what keeps a huge member base every year. It’s because everyone can run. Everyone can jump. Everyone can gain strength. Human bodies are meant to be utilized, and without primitive ways to prove our excellency (like simply being alive because you’re fast enough to catch dinner) we create situations in which we can still showcase our basic abilities. Instead of: Run. Jump. Throw. We push for: Run faster. Jump higher/further. Throw harder. Track and field.

Jematisa Davis Staff Writer Who is she?! Some of you may have heard the rumors, the whispers of a new coach, or moreover the new cheer coach. So who is she? Maybe a few of you know her. You can usually catch her on a Friday or Saturday night out with her husband, as they enjoy another’s company on casual date. Other times you will see her cheering on her kids and fully supporting they’re interests as well as hobbies. She is a mom of a whopping five kids, ranging from 2-13 years of age. Just for that, hard work comes with kids, and speaking of hard work, she graduated from Manti high school and attended Snow College. During her attendance of Snow College she cheered, as well as assisted the coach with cheer, as well as with tumbling. After attending Snow, she transferred from being a Badger, to a Wolverine at UVU (Utah Valley University) When asking her casually “where do you live and have you ever moved before?” she responded “well” she than began telling that she was actually born in Canada, than when she was little her and her family moved to Ephraim where she was raised. She actually has lived in Provo, West Bountiful, (Ephraim, Canada) and now currently Mona. I than asked her what got her interested into cheer, she told me how she loved it in high school, as well as in college, supporting and bring school spirit was a great aspect of it. So have any of guessed who she is yet? Before she took up the task of being a coach for Juab, she was, and moreover is a certified nurse; and when asking her “what was the craziest thing you’ve ever done”, she responded, “well” then proceeded to explain how she had the opportunity to fly with the Air Med. For those of you that may not know exactly what that is, it is flying people that are seriously injured and need immediate help, where an ambulance would take too long, and may be too late. Air Med transports the injured in a helicopter and flies to the hospital you desire. The website of Air Med reads, “Wherever you are and whatever the medical need, Air Med assures you receive seamless

access to the highest level of care. Air Med Provides air medical transport to the hospital of your choice.” With that, she was able to be a part of that once as a volunteer. For those of you soccer fans out there, our new cheer coach is a huge fan as well, this year she plans on traveling to the World Cup in Brazil of 2014. This amazing woman is Denise Buck. She has taken on the daunting task of being the new Cheer Couch. There was one last question I asked her was, “Is there anything you would like to tell Juab?” She excitedly said, “I’m looking forward to supporting the Student Body, and bringing more school spirit, and as well as unity for the coming year, GO JUAB!!” So who is she? I have filled you all in, on just who that new face is, that new coach, so when you see her up bright and early with cheer girls, be sure to smile! There is another new face I will let you have an insight on. The assistant Cheer Couch. Her name is Diana Park, she can usually be caught on a Friday or Saturday night hanging out with her loving family, she is married and has four kids, ranging from 8 months, to 8 years old. She grew up in Mona, and has lived in Orem, California, Nephi and Spanish Fork. She graduated from Juab high school and continued her schooling at Snow College, then transferred later on to Weber State College. When asking her “What got you interested into cheer?” She cheerily told me how she was involved and cheered when she was in high school, and she really enjoys working with the youth, as well as the community. I asked her “what is the craziest thing you have ever done” She quickly responded “I swallowed a goldfish in high school for a sub for Santa” After that I asked her “Is there anything you want to tell Juab? She said “I am excited to work with everyone, and I hope it goes great!” Overall it is going to be a great year for cheer, and the new cheer coaches are more than excited to get started and bringing that cheer, and getting everyone involved! So let us all welcome them in, and give our loudest cheers for this coming year!!

Haisley Palmer Staff Writer This Speech and Debate season has been full of victories, very few losses, and definitely tons of good memories. Ask any one of the Speech and Debate students and they will definitely tell you that they had a successful season. All ten meets that our Speech and Debate team attended, they had success in every event they entered. Mr. Swensen happily told me about how well his team did this year, “It went very well. I knew from the beginning that this team had a lot of character. I knew from the first meet in Snow Collage that this would be a good season.” With tons of wins under their belts, the Speech and Debate team certainly have something to be proud of. Along with their many wins, their most important ones were taking first at region and second at state. In recent events, the Speech and Debate team has acquired a new set of captains to set goals and achieve new heights in the next season. The new interp captain, Riki Squire, explains his goals for next

season. “We want to make our interps more precise with more defined characterization. Our ultimate goal is to go to state and do well.” The new President, Kara Jones, and Vice President, Savannah Berhmann are also getting excited and bittersweet about the end of the season and the start of the new one. “I’m really proud of our team. We’ve come a long way. I knew this was going to be a good season when the topics changed on us at Snow College and we still took second,” Savannah says about the good season that just wrapped up. Mr. Swensen has done very well training and preparing these students to win first place medals in oratories, spar, and debating. With a great season like this recent one, it’s going to be hard to stop our Speech and Debate team for the oncoming season next year. For anyone interested in joining the Speech and Debate team next year, you should definitely join the team and help them snag more victories!

Entertainment

Talks: The Educational YouTube

Ashley Whimpey Editor-in-Chief

TED talks are a collection of “Ideas Worth Sharing” and are broadcast from TED conferences onto their website. The site is set up a little like YouTube, with playlists and a search bar. Talks range from 3 minutes, quick little 7-minute bursts, or longer 15-20 minute talks. The TechnologyEducation-Design (TED) conferences have since expanded since their founding in WHAT YEAR to include anything from success to sticky notes. I recommend listening on some down time, while getting ready, or whenever you feel like it’d be nice to expand your brain a bit. The database is huge, and I’ve included a list of places to start. Happy TED talk searching! Kevin Allocca: Why Videos Go Viral In his hilarious account, YouTube’s Trend Manager explains the phenomenon of what it takes to reach the ten-minute of Internet fame. Larry Smith: Why You Will Fail To Have A Great Career. He’s a cut to the truth guy. Larry Smith rips off the excuses we hide behind, and exposes the raw truths we neglect to acknowledge. Ultimately, Smith points out if we simply face the hard truths, we can find what we say we actually want. However, Smith questions if it’s what we really want. John Wooden: The Difference Between Winning and Succeeding.

Former UCLA basketball coach, the remarkable John Wooden sits down and philosophizes the points of success. His own definition and inspiring tactics, open the chance for not just coaches, but everyone to see the best of themselves. Tony Robbins: Why We Do What We Do (PROFANITY ALERT) I’ve listened to this talk more than twice, and it’s still new each round. The language does get inappropriate, and I advise those bothered by language to perhaps stay away. The immense amount of interesting knowledge Robbins offers is worth it though. He explains simple and true things that motivatee or drive people to do the things they do, and how they might be holding you back. Sarah Kay: If I Should Have A Daughter A poetic speaker, Sarah Kay opens with her poem, If I Should Have A Daughter. The topic of her talk however, is an inspiring insight to growing up and becoming a force of wind, rather than a breeze. Terry Moore: How to Tie Your Shoes It’s an extremely short talk that may just blow your mind. Terry Moore: Why is ‘X’ the Unknown? Another Terry Moore talk to quickly send your brain into smoke. David Pogue: Top 10 Timesaving Tech Tips

My hope is this talk is not anything you don’t know, but you should listen to it to join the graduated ranks of tech-competent people. Ben Goldacre: Battling Bad Science This incredibly insightful talk from a “nerdy doctor” will make you reevaluate how much trust you give the people claiming they know what will or will not swiftly end your existence. Hittel Cooperman: Legos For Grownups For most people, Legos become perilous things waiting to impale the soft side of our feet. For other people, they are magical mediums to create remarkable things, and Cooperman shows us that in his TED talk.

Music: Pink’s “The Truth About Love”

Megan Hansen Guest Writer Her first album in four years and her first since becoming a mom, the effort Pink puts into making sure she doesn’t come off lost. Motherhood has clearly affected her, but in many ways, she’s still that hot mess she’s always been. Much of “Love” deals with what the album title perceives: just how hard it is to make love stay. In her songs she’s comical about it, and sometimes she’s heartbreaking about it, but she is always honest.

“The truth about love is it comes and it goes,” she sings in her title track and that may be the most that any of us ever really understand about it. With “The Truth About Love,” Pink continues on her path as the superstar we’d most like to grab a drink with. As her life experiences grow, so does her happiness, but also her questions and her confusion, bringing her fep rated album.

Whooo Said It?

You Said It! “I’d like a necklace, some earringsIS THAT A DEAD BODY?!” “It’s choking me to life.” “I hope a sleepy guy craps you.” “Maddi’s in labor!” “My water broke!” “On my bucket list is—“ “To get punched in the face with a fish?” “Do you want a ride?” “Actually I’m staying here.” “I VOLUNTEER! I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!” “I sniffed her fist.” “I was sniffing formaldehyde.” “You’re, like, as sneaky as a walrus.” “Be the best yogurt sandwich you can be.” “My legs look part lizard.” “You don’t have to pay to lick the road.” “Let’s all hail Hitler with our German words.” “Kiah, I can smell your kiss.” “It’s either a girl or Robert Stoddard.”

It’s now hard to believe that in 2008, Marvel Studios’ Iron Man was an enormous gamble. Would audiences pay to watch a character that wasn’t Spiderman or a member of the X-Men? Would anyone want to see Robert Downey, Jr. lead a summer blockbuster after his multiple stints in jail and rehab through the late 90s and early 00’s? Would Marvel’s plan to build a connected film universe leading up to an Avengers adaptation work? Honestly, if Iron Man had failed, no one would be surprised. Luckily, Iron Man was a massive success, making over $300 million, spawning a 2010 sequel, and paving the way for 2012’s The Avengers, which would become the third highest grossing film of all time. Now, Iron Man is back in Iron Man 3, but does it live up to expectations? (MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD) Taking place mere months after The Avengers, Iron Man 3 opens with Tony Stark suffering from insomnia and anxiety attacks after the Battle of New York. Life becomes harder when a new villain, the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), begins wreaking havoc on Tony’s personal life. When Tony makes a public threat against the Mandarin, his

home is destroyed and he is separated from his girlfriend, Pepper Potts (Gweneth Paltrow). With almost nothing left, Tony embarks on a quest for “good old fashioned revenge” against the Mandarin. The quest takes him across the country and will require help from his buddy, Rhodey (Don Cheadle), now known as Iron Patriot, and a precocious youngster, Harley (Ty Simpkins). Iron Man 3’s setup is slow burning, but director/writer Shane Black and cowriter Drew Pearce keep things entertaining as Tony delivers hilarious one-liner after another. The real fun lies in the second half, where the action becomes non-stop and twists become as common as Tony’s quips. It’s here that everything you thought Iron Man 3 would be is turned on its head and nothing is as it seems. The result is wickedly fun and exciting. Iron Man 3 isn’t perfect (I’m still not sure how I feel about one twist involving the Mandarin), but it holds together through its good humor and breathtaking action pieces. The ending also provides nice closure to Tony Stark’s emotional journey, though the end credits promise “Tony Stark will return”. When he does, I know I’ll want to be there.

Etcetera 7 Days of Suffering: Eternally Accented This month a staff member dedicated herself to an unrelenting British accent. The following is a log of the true events that resulted and actual situations she experienced.

Aulani Camacho Staff Writer I spent most of the first day explaining why I was talking in a British accent. At first everyone thought I was joking, but when I didn’t stop . . . Emily Stephenson, a sophomore, told me, “You have to say ‘prime minister’ a lot, kay?” Throughout the week I looked for opportunities to do so, usually using it as a synonym for the president. Which brings me to day two. I headed to Dollar General to grab some food for another track meet. Easy, right? Pay for everything, keep your mouth shut, get out of there without embarrassing yourself. Simple. Until the cashier asked how I was.

Now, speaking in a British accent had started to get annoying (and boring) so I was trying to change it up a bit, copy the speech patterns as well. This was my reply: “I’d be perfectly lovely if the prime minister would stop raising the bloody taxes.” Here, I paused, smiling sweetly. “How are you, love?” I have to admit, her face was priceless. The next day, I had choir (technically I had it on day one, but I wasn’t sure how to sing that way, since Mrs. Esplin doesn’t let us sing our “R’s” anyway). This time, I turned my “R’s” and “L’s” into “W’s”. I turned my “O’s” into pinprick-sized holes.

I sang very quiet that day. Unfortunately when there’s someone right in front of you, they can usually hear you if you so much as whisper. In the grateful name of all politeness, she didn’t turn around. Day four. I went out to eat with my family. Ironically, we went to IHOP. (It’s ironic because on the way home from state track last year, that’s where we stopped, and I had the good fortune to sit with four girls on the team who dared me to ask the waiter— when he came back to check on us—“’Scuse me love, where’s the loo?”). This time (at the different IHOP), when the waiter asked me for my order, “I’d like fish and

chips, a plate of tea sandwiches, and could you throw in a cup of rose-hip tea for me, love?” I’d only ever seen a goldfish have as blank of a stare as the one he gave me. Naturally, I’d explained to my family what was going on, and told my mother what I wanted instead, so she whispered to the waiter, “Just get her a plate of blueberry pancakes, please.” The day after (day five) was the day of the track meet, and I had to be on the bus by 6:00 A.M. I’ll be honest: I forgot to talk in a British accent at first. I was just tired. But I remembered eventually. One of my friends had made waffles, but because of an inside joke we both called them woofles. Try saying that in a British ac-

cent. Actually, it’s not too hard. Not much happened that day. My friends were getting used to me talking like that. It was a two-day track meet, but my event was only on day one, so I didn’t go the next day. Actually, my little brother had baseball games, so I was alone most of the time I was awake (and hopefully when I was asleep as well). Not much chance to talk in a British accent there, unless you count talking to my dog. Last day. Sunday. Again, not much happened. Everyone was pretty used to it by then. No celebration or anything for finally being able to stop. I was just done. And I will never do it again.

THE 1:1

Ashley Whimpey Editor-in-Chief The One to One update is a chance to introduce Chromebooks into our school. (Along the same lines as the iPads and iPod Touch devices into the system.) It came from the outgoing superintendant, Jim Shank’s three year plan. The project has been postponed until the year of 20142015, in order to allow a new principal to grow acclimated to his new school. Despite being put off a few years, the debate to even take the trail is going strong. Student feedback is strongly encouraged, and we’ve got some quick facts so it’s no longer a secret what a Chromebook even is. Chromebooks are Internet based, and act out of the Google Chrome feature. They’re equipped with ready-to-go apps and programs:

iCaught Ya!

iPad

GMAIL: An email system that allows users to connect Google searches to their email. GOOGLE PLUS: A social media sharing site that allows easy transfer of Google search results and photo/status updates. YOUTUBE/PLAYER: A media streaming app. It is possible there will be a restricted access allowance for the Chromebooks. (Sourced from Tony SperryJuab’s technology director) GOOGLE DRIVE: An online program that allows access from anywhere to docs, powerpoints, spread sheets, and more saved under the Gmail user. Suprised Evan “Nice guys. The staff raided the iPads, and found your photos.”
