To be on the cUSp is to be on the edge, the precipice. It’s an existence in the gray space, the moment before things change. m ■

III

l l l ' l itles are important; they’re a beginning. Names bring certainty. They bring direction. The problem is that we don’t always know where to begin. We can’t see where we are headed. So some things remain nameless, lost in the mess.

This is how it starts. It’s how it always starts.

Slowly, we tip our toes into the unknown waters. And in that precise moment, we contemplate our next step. We ride the ebb and flow of life, sometimes skittering to the safety of shore, occasionally squeezing our eyes shut and diving into the wave. The future lies before us like a foggy horizon, and we, cautiously, carefully, often blindly, scan the horizon. We hover on the cUSp of change.

Pine Crest creates an environment that allows students and faculty to propel themselves and reach to grasp the “impossible.” We are always on the edge, on the cUSp. We see a boundary and push beyond it. This bravery is learned. We start off timid and afraid to leap. But soon Pine Crest becomes a comfortable environment, so we step. And then step again. Some may even begin to jump further. Soon enough this forward motion becomes commonplace. Staying in one spot becomes unnatural.

We are no longer hovering, afraid to make our next move. We are embracing this

-IIA„ Each time we reach toward something new, we’re brought back to this unknown place, the nameless space. This untitled “no place” begins like all things: it’s something abstract and without real intent. But these things then become “some place.” For some this is medical school, publishinga novel, directinga movie, opening an art gallery, raising a family, being president, ending world hunger. Perhaps we’ll work our whole lives reaching and fighting to turn our nameless places into “some places.” Because that’s what Pine Crest has taught us to do. It’s taught us to live on the cLISp. It has taught us to keep reaching for the horizon, to see boundaries as a challenge begging to be conquered. We grow, we change, we adapt. We form a version of US that can be on the cUSp of new and greater things. From Pine Crest forward, we refuse to be complacent and don’t fear the change of transition.

This one is for US, standing together, always on the cUSp. Love, Rebecca Schecter Editor-in-Chief Crestian 2017

his year’s swimming and diving teams splashed the competition. After beating Bolles for the first time in over 25 years, the girls’ swimming and diving team were overjoyed. Until this year, Bolles had never lost a dual meet in more than 22 years. This high energy meet with a huge student fan base set the teams up for an exciting season and a hard fight in the State Championships.

Jamie Flores, one of the senior captains of the swim team, fondly remembers beating Bo lies at the meet, stating, “ It was one moment where swimming and diving truly weren’t individual sports because we all knew the team was more important.” As a leader on the swimming and diving teams, captains must bring together boys and girls ages sixth grade and higher. To do this, captain of the diving team Juliette Pozzuoli

T

encouraged her teammates to train with a purpose and stay motivated throughout the long season.

At the State Championships, the girls fell short of beating Bolles by just ten points. Describing this second place finish, Pouzzouli states, “ I could not be prouder to be part of such an amazing team and would definitely count this season as a success because we still made history and gave the best team in the nation a run for their money.”

The captains made sure to thank all of their coaches, including Coach Mariusz, Coach Katelyn, Coach Jay, Coach Janet and Coach Jim , who are at school from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day helping the teams succeed, as well as all the parents who volunteered to help run the meets and provide snacks. Overall, this season went swimmingly for both teams and the Pine Crest community looks forward to seeing what the future holds for these swimmers and divers!

his year’s football tackled their opponents head on! Though the team was initially not projected to do so well, especially with some of their key players injured, they still remained hopeful. Their optimism paid off when they made it to the playoffs, battling it out in a suspenseful game with Benjamin.

Senior captain Bryce Bloom recalls the tense match, “We had gone into the fourth quarter trailing Benjamin, but we were able to score to tie up the game and bring it into overtime. Then, they scored a touchdown, but we blocked their extra point and secured our spot in the King’s Academy Championship

T

Game after scoring not only a touchdown, but also an extra point thanks to kicker Leo Mahaldo.” In addition to being an exhilarating victory, their win was also a moment of school pride as they dominated on the Pine Crest field with their fans cheering them on. Though King’s Academy Championship Game didn’t go as the they had hoped, the team is happy with the overwhelming progress they made throughout the season. Bloom says, “ I am proud of my teammates, they’re like my brothers. We’re thankful towards our coaches for helping us become better men and to our fans who gave us the energy we needed to perform at our very best every game.”

Looking back on their final season, de Souza and Hage are proud that the girls put their hearts into it, thankful to their coaches for pushing them as hard as they do and happy that they were able to connect with so many Pine Crest fans throughout the year.

oys' basketoaii tnis season was really a slam dunk.

The highlight of the boys’ season was beating Saint (Andrews, a team that was ranked |#1 in the division with a record of 21-1 in overtime.

Twins Brett and AJ Haeffner returned .to the PC team after (two years at Saint [Andrews, which (added meaning |to the PC win.

Reminiscing on the |game, Captain Chris Marzouca stated, [‘Both sides of the bleachers were [completely filled, and the noise level was insane...It was the most intense game I have ever played in.”

(The boys were down in the fourth quarter, but Chris’ leadership and

e team's dedication triumphe n the end, leading to the fans storming the court. As the leader of his team, Chris spoke very highly of his fellow teammates, saying “there] is no other set of guys that I would rather be with for| my senior year.”

Chris thanked the basketball program at PC fori shaping him into the person he is today, and he said, “ I am so grateful) that was able to be a part of something so special.” The team’s underclassmen had immense talent, and though the seniors will be sorely missed, their departure is not the end to the success of Pinel Crest basketball.

“ ...but Chris’ leadership and the team’s dedication triumphed...”

Playing hard, playing smart, and playing togethe made the Pine Crest Boys’ Basketball team a force to be reckoned with this year.

are girls on the sidelines ot every basketball game, pompoms in hand and voices that yell, “green and white... let’s fight!”

But being the professional hype squad for (the basketball team is no easy task. “Cheerleading is a sport where you have to be willing to accept [that your idea might not be Ithe best idea and listening |to what others have to say is very important. You also Ihave to understand that you lare not perfect and you will jmake mistakes, so handling (criticism isa bigpartof your job,” said senior captain IMaddie Hage. Through ups and downs, Hage has |led the team, keeping morale high all the while. “ My favorite memory from this season is senior night Ibecause my team came together for celebration,

Freshm en Ella Bergner Samantha Finkelberg Yasmina Issa Anabella Kupchik Elizabeth Potter Coaches Jana Blackwell Sarah Paul-Hus

knew how much they appreciated tne time anc effort I put into cheer. It was an amazing night andl I never expected them to do as much as they did.”

But being a leader on this team meant so muchj more to Hage than just a fun senior night, “The# most important part of being a leader on my teaml is being there for yourl teammates.

Everyone[ has something else goin£ on in their lives, and ifl their head is not in it at| practice, it can mess with! the dynam ic.” With suchl a successful season, this| team certainly has several people to thank. “ I want to thank my coaches fori always pushing me to be the best I can be and my| team for always having my back. I love cheerleadinj and I’m sad to say goodbye."

“ But being the professional hype squad for the basketball team is no easy task. ”

he shoots... she scores! Both the G irls’ Varsity Soccer Team arid the Junior Varsity Team had exceptionally eventful seasons. From strenuous afternoon practices to action-packed district games, these girls were in it to win it. Madeleine Turner, U l' varsity senior captain, practically beamed when talking about the incredible season. “ Looking out and seeing packed stands motivates the whole team. Our fans motivate us to do well. They take the time to support u s,” return says Turner, “And we wi the favor!” Clearly, it did not matter if it was a home game or an away game-the PC students brought the PC Pride wherever they went. With their long­ time coach Pepi Vallejo and their new coach Chantal Franzosa, the team

S

was truly unstoppable. Madeleine understood that she would have to take over as a senior captain this year. “We lost six starters with the graduating class of 2016. I thought we were going to have large gaps on the field, but with the incoming teammates, the team just grew closer and stronger.” As a leader, Turner felt that putting her emotions and nerves aside for each game would ensure the success of the team, and obviously, her strategy worked, The whole team had an incessant drive to have fun, play well, and win.

The ’ 16-’ 17 soccer season was filled with unforgettable memories and a myriad of victories. Knowing the PC student athletes, there will be many more successes to come.

The whole team had incessand drive to have fun, play well, and win.’”

oys’ soccer this year really k i c k e d the competition while reaching their g o a ls .

Senior captains Markus Haig, Joseph Murciano, and David Lederman led the team in an exciting and fun season.

A memorable moment in the season was when the PC boys beat Oxbridge 5-1 at their first home game of the season.

This early win set the boys up for a successful season. The fans this year really came out to support the soccer squad.

David fondly remembered the fanbase, stating, “Our season could not have happened if it wasn’t for our home fans. I’ve never seen so many fans at one of my Pine Crest soccer events.” In the middle of the season, though, the boys had a tough three-game losing streak, in which team

morale was down. The captains rallied together and pushed themselves and the team even harder in practice. David referred to this as the turning point in their season, as they began to dominate the field again. Though the season did not end as hoped due to a premature loss in the district quarterfinals against North Broward, David said, “the lessons we learned from defeat this season will help all of us succeed in the future.”

The captains wanted to thank their coaches, teammates, parents, and fans for all the support throughout the season. Overall, the captains this year definitely achieved their goal of laying “a foundation for the incoming seniors and the underclassmen,” and we look forward to the future of the boys’ soccer team.

“The captains rallied together and pushed themselves and the team even harder...”

We got to chat with the team’s senior captain Sofia Caro about the exciting season. Like any season, there were highs and lows, but Caro assured us that the team took every obstacle in stride and ended up conquering each hindrance. Weigh-ins required a good amount of exercise and dedication, but again, the team took the requirements with ease. Caro told us that weigh-ins “took the team bonding to another level.” Sofia has an extensive history with the sport

- she joined the team four years ago as a freshman.

“We had a total of four girls. This year, there are I more than thirty.” An exponential growth indeed! Of all the many memories, her favorite one was, without ^ a doubt, winning the District title.

“When Pine Crest was announced as the winner, we all broke loose. There was so much joy and excitement.

The sheer happiness was infectious.” .

The win was a perfect culmination of the season, the winning title most definitely made the journey worthwhile. Coach Hibbs and Coach Stickfort undoubtedly mustered an exceptional team with pure devotion. As the team 1 always says in their cheer, 1 ...2 ...3 ...Lift!

er Pine Crest tradition, in anticipation for the upcoming Ski Break, the Upper School students had a blast celebrating Feb Fest. The week began with the Sadie Hawkins dance put together by STUCO on February 4th. The theme was decades, and everyone went all out for the event; there were people in everything from 80s aerobic dance gear to classic 50s attire. After a quiet Monday and Tuesday, the festivities started back up again with the club fair on Wednesday, Multicultural Day on Thursday, and the annual Student-Teacher basketball game where the faculty prevailed. In addition, on Thursday, students had the opportunity to dress up and showcase their cultures

P

for Multi. On Friday, students dressed up as different stages of life. The freshmen were babies with bottles and pacifiers in tow, the sophomores were tweens with high side ponytails and middle school t-shirts, and the juniors were adults, dressing up like their parents in mom jeans and baseball hats. The seniors continued the tradition of dressing up as senior citizens with grey hair and glasses, and walked up the stairs of the Upper School with the help of a cane. Student Council President Jake Lieberfarb states, “the main goal of Feb Fest is to bring all of the grades and faculty together to enjoy the events.” They definitely had a successful week with this year’s festivities.

Each student was paired with a country and sat in different committee meetings, ranging from Legal to the World Health Organization to come up with solutions to many problems. Senior Hiba Ismail serves as president of the International

W

Relations Club and attended the DC trip as a delegate of the Czech Republic. Through her involvement in Model UN, she, along with the other delegates, has learned to “conduct solid research, adopt a country’s position, and improved on public speaking” all while having fun. She says that although it is fairly difficult and a lot of work, “ I see the advantages of Model UN and feel more motivated to work hard” The delegates thank Mr. Snyder and Ms. Bass for their fun and memorable trips. Our Pine Crest students are truly going to make a difference in the world someday.

eing a part of the track team is more than just running. As stated by senior Alec Gugel, it “means motivating your teammates both in practice and races and pushing people to things they didn’t think they were capable of.” The Pine Crest track team had a very successful season. Records were broken and personal bests were achieved. Long hours of practice and hard work payed off, as team members were able to reach and exceed their goals, and support their teammates in doing the same. In one event, this motivation is particularly important. “The 4x400 is the last race of the meet and everyone on the team pulls

together for this relay to finish the meet strong,” said senior Ron Knezevich. Gugel further said that “a typical track meet isn’t quite like a football game where the stands are packed and the noise levels are high, but the closest thing that comes to that is Panther Relays. As much as it may seem like there is more pressure to perform well in front of a large audience, the energy is contagious, and for me at least, it overshadows the nerves.” For the seniors who have been running together for many years and for the freshmen who are just getting a taste of the sport, track is a rewarding, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately exhilarating experience.

his season has been an exciting one for the girls' softball team. They see a GAR., and the softball team is going shopping.

Not only has this been a great season on the field, but off the field as well. Senior captain Alii Silitsky states with pride, “ Everyone has become really close and no matter the situation we’re always able to laugh with or at each other, which is something that’s also allowed us to do well this year.”

However, it’s not always laughs and smiles. She explains, “ It’s especially tough to play at the highest potential when our games go longer than 2 hours. So when we have these games that we lose our lead and have to keep playing it’s tough to keep the team engaged and

T

focused. But we’ve done a good job and usually finish with the win.” Besides Silitsky’s leadership, she passionately says she has the fans to thank. “ Playing in front of a home crowd is great. Having friends and family to support really encourages the team to play at the highest level and beat teams that we would have trouble with if we played somewhere else.”

With all their success, she has plenty of people to thank. “Throughout the season, we have to thank everyone who supported us and helped us be successful. All of our coaches, the strength training staff, and the athletic trainers were all big parts of helping us succeed and stay healthy.”

he baseball team certainly did not strike out with this year’s incredible season. While there were many great memories, senior Michael Rothenberg cited his greatest memory as their walk-off win against last year’s state champion Calvary Christian. “Sam Wurth pitched an amazing complete game, and we won on a walk-off in the last inning. It was an awesome team win, especially against such a quality opponent.” As a leaderon the team, Rothenberg has a large responsibility, one he handles with ease. “ Being a leader on the baseball team is awesome.

Pine Crest. We have such great team unity, and it will take us a long way this season.” The team has worked very hard this year, and it has definitely helped lead them to success. In the Calvary game, “they hit a homerun in the first inning to put us down 3-0. We batted back; Sam did not give up a run for the rest of the game, and we won 4-3.”

Rothenberg would like to thank Coach Green and the rest of the baseball staff for “preparing [them] for every game,” as well as the PC fans. “All of the PC students are so supportive. They come out as much as possible. We can hear all of our fans cheering for us during the game, and it certainly helps us and gives us a solid home field advantage.”

umping and setting their way to the top, the boys’ volleyball team aced the competition. Captain Benjamin Brody describes his team as “a great group of diverse students from ninth grade to twelfth.”

Coming together from all grades and experience levels, the volleyball team was able to bond and succeed on the court. *\s leaders on the team, the captains “teach new skills and offer personal advice to the new and /oung players.” Though the season began with a slight learning curve as “the team had a limited amount of time to learn the fundamentals and apply them at a high and competitive level,” eventually “the team seemed to click.” With their renewed faith and confidence, the team had a big district game against St. Thomas Aquinas.

This game was “an intense match that saw many

B

lead changes and momentum shifts.” Despite falling short after a tough fight, this game served as a chance for the team to rebound.

Throughout the rest of the season, the boys used the valuable lessons they learned during this match and began to dominate. Home games were a special experience for the team, as Brody fondly mentions, “every time the crowd joins in on a team cheer, my teammates are met with a sense of added vigor and excitement.” Feeding off of the “ rowdy and electric atmosphere,” the boys are able to push themselves even harder in the matches. The team would like to thank the coaches as well as the the members of the girls’ volleyball team who practiced with them. Overall, the season was a spiking success and PC fans look forward to cheering on another season of volleyball!

“ Despite falling short after a tough fight, this game served as a chance for the team to rebound.”

You just got The Pine Crest tennis teams show their talents on the court.

team definitely served up an amazing season this year. While tennis takes physical strength, it is a sport that requires a large degree of mental strength as well. Captains of both the girls’ and boys’ teams perhaps demonstrate this best. Parsa Hoghooghi, captain of the boys’ tennis team speaks to this level of leadership.

“Being the co-captain of the tennis team for the past three years has allowed me to appreciate what it means to be a leader. Starting as the youngest captain my sophomore year, I’ve learned a leader is someone that anyone on the team can look up to, regardless of age. I like to think when I play my matches that I not only play for the team but also Pine Crest, representing the best the school has to offer (sportsmanship, focus, etiquette, e tc.).” And while this job is tough, there are plenty of memories that

make it worthwhile. G irls’ senic Stephanie Taylor recalls her time two years ago: “ My favorite memory from the six years I have played on the Varsity Tenni Team has been in my sophomore year wh we won states for the very first time i years. It felt like a huge accomplishing Even though these seniors are leaving Pine Crest, they have high expectations for their upcoming seasons and are excited to see how their teammates do in the future. Hoghooghi said, “Every season I have had the honor to be on a team that has been better than the last. Last season was the first time in several years we reached regional finals, which was great, and this year we hope to make it an even more competitive one. With every season, we say goodbye to some players and welcome new ones. Every season is unique in its own way, so I think it’s all about keeping an optimistic outlook and just having fun!”

“While tennis takes physical strength, it is a sport that requires a large degree of mental strength as well.”

ou can spot a weightlifter from across the hall with no trouble at all: they’re the boys eating protein bars and carrying a gallon jug of water to and from class. Senior weightlifter Justin Danzansky fits exactly this mold. His diet during season? Strictly protein.

But weightlifting is about more than physical shape; it takes a great deal of mental dedication. Danzansky set his goals early on in the season, saying, “ I wanted to clean 200 lbs and bench 225, and I did it midway through the season. I’m still moving up weight.’’ While weightlifting is an individual sport, there’s certainly

a team-like atmosphere amongst this group of boys.

This is reflected most in Danzansky’s answer when asked his favorite memory of the season. “A highlight from this season was watching Junior Robbie Fatovick clean and jerk 275 pounds. The entire team was super supportive.” And so beyond their uniforms, the boys’ weightlifting team comprises many dedicated athletes, many of whom will continue the weightlifting legacy at the Pine next season after the seniors graduate. “ It’s cool to see the younger guys start on the team and get stronger throughout the season and meet their goals. I know they’ll do great next season.”

“Senior weightlifter Justin Danzansky fits exactly this mold. His diet during season?

Strictly protein.”

A MIPS nigh t was a LMidsummer’s Night] Dream to watch the play this year! After a week of shaking and baking, the Midsummer Night’s Dream cast took the Morris Family Courtyard by storm to present months of hard work to their audience. Senior Tara Schulman, a lead role in the play, says her favorite memory was “watching people’s faces as they walk by our rehearsals. This show is very physical and we have some fake violence that goes on...The physical aspect of this show attracts people to stop and watch.” The audience also loved the humor in the show, as the crowd erupted into laughter multiple times during the performance. As a senior leader, Schulman enjoys mentoring the underclassmen, as well as students who have never been in the play

We have a lot of weird rituals and traditions ...’” before. On this topic, she says, “We have a lot of weird rituals and traditions that are fun to expose people to for the first time. I’ve gotten to meet so many new people in the play this year, and I know they will do great things in the years to come.”

Rehearsals for this show took place outside, and Schulman fondly remembers the Saturday morning rehearsals. During warm ups, the cast spends “about an hour playing games and doing crazy exercises to work on technique and get energized.” Also, as the play is written by the literary genius Shakespeare (a.k.a. Willy), the cast members “worked really hard on the language and movement to create a fun and entertaining show.” They tried to really delve into character and understand the meaning behind their lines. Overall, the members of the cast are ecstatic with their performance and would like to thank Mrs. Ortega for her dedication and direction throughout the show. The Pine Crest community commends this dreamy cast for performing #Shakespeare at such an advanced level.

Story | Jodie Kahan & Brian Meller

or most of us, staying in one place for more than an hour is a difficult task. Yet, for the last fourteen years, the PC lifers have been at The Pine, making friends and learning lots. It is incomprehensible to think that the faces you saw on the first day of Pre-K, (the faces of those you were afraid to talk to as well as those who had a visceral reaction to naptime), are the same faces you’ll see when you get your high school diploma. A quick fourteen years have passed and most of us did not even realize. But upon reflection, it’s clear that this lifer journey is an incredible one.

It all began in Pre-K or Kindergarten, when the Boca kids were fed Mario’s pizza...every single day for lunch. It was then that we all learned “ left from right, and...right from wrong...” and we sang goodbye in a song. Years passed quickly: a sink fell on Carly Feldman's lap; a picture fell on Bryce Bloom’s head; we watched liberty kids for hours and memorized the theme song. In fifth grade, we showed the school that we had responsibility while singing to the Black Eyed Peas.

F

That’s called talent. In seventh grade we experienced compliment Thursdays. A teacher tripped, backpacks were prohibited from class, chaos ensued.

In the 954, memories were made as well. We will never forget our Kindergarten show, where, like every class before us, we sang the story of Thanksgiving. We grew together, adding new classmates along the way.

And in third grade, we celebrated Great Americans' day.

Time passed and we were already at the end of Lower School on our Washington trip. It seemed like we had finally made it to the top, and then, we were back at the bottom. In Middle School, our teachers loved the Class of 2017 so much that they proceeded to call us the “crunchy apples.”

And then suddenly we were in Upper School.

Squads merged, squads didn’t merge, we gained the freshmen 15 (thanks Mary Ellen), lived through a tumultuous election, watered some legumes, and got to know some amazing teachers. And we did it all together.

Here’s to calling Pine Crest home for the last fourteen years; here’s to being proud to call ourselves lifers.

Story [ Jodie Kahan

he Class of 2017 refuses to be categorized as just one thing: we are artists and athletes, socialites and brainiacs, procrastinators and work-a-holics. Perhaps the one common thread that weaves through everyone is a feeling of transition. Complacency is not this c la ss’ style. We’re always reaching, exploring new territory, on the cusp.

There was the cusp of standardized testing: The old SAT and the new SAT. Oh, and we can’t forget the cusp of the college application: we got to choose between the Coalition AND the Common App. This class even pioneered a transition in fashion: mom jeans are back; those chokers we wore in 2nd grade are cool again.

The transition has been quite the journey for the Class of 2017. We were a group who started our Pine Crest careers unafraid and unashamed. This is best evidenced by our freshman class t-shirts, which boldly stated, “ HELLO MY NAME IS FRESHM AN.” But even without the bright blue t-shirts, we were hard to miss. This is a class that made blue the color of dreaming and spirit, the color of beautiful failure and remarkable achievement.

Perhaps this class can be summed up by our elected Homecoming mascot: an inflatable blue whale. The simile here predicts that like this blow-up whale, we are sometimes deflated. However, we are never deterred. We are quickly inflated again and ready to be loud, proud,

T

and forever blue. Or maybe there’s no metaphorical resonance at all, and the legacy of the Homecoming whale serves to show the whimsical and spirited side of our crazy class.

It has not always been easy: this class struggled to remain in dress code to say the least. But again, this group has always been the one to express itself loudly and unapologetically.

There were fights with friends that taught us about what it means to be selfless, humble; some of us fell in love, got a few splinters in our hearts and came out with storiestoshare; we learned about integrals, Shakespeare, soil horizons, John Van Eyck (master of the woodcut, duh). And even stronger than this is perhaps the memory of Dr. Wu vocalizing her annoyance about the effects of senioritis during that lesson on integrals, Mr. Lemole writing snarky comments on a Macbeth essay, Mrs. Vatland gushing about legumes, Mr. Ames drumming on the smartboard at 8 am, raving about Renaissance artists.

So along the way, perhaps this class came across a realization that to transition does not mean to leave the past behind in favor of starting over. It means remembering what we’ve learned and moving forward. It means reaching for the horizon, not in spite of knowing we cannot reach it, but because we know we cannot reach it. It means embracing each other and the cusp we’ve created for ourselves.

As an impressionable tween, this seems like an exciting possibility-- almost mystical.

So after half the class joins band, most people realize that in order to play an instrument well, it takes an incredible amount of discipline.

While some people drop out and stop playing, the brave warriors among us stick with it, growing to be incredible musicians with incredible talent. One such talent is Sofia Perez, senior flutist who has recently also picked up the piccolo. To her, making music is not only hard work, but also

lots of fun. “ My favorite part is just being able to collaborate with different people who are just as passionate about making music. Also, working really hard on a certain piece and then being able to perform it in front of an audience is an amazing feeling.”

From freshman year to now she’s watched herself grow into a serious member of band. “ I’ve taken on more responsibility.

As I’ve grown I’ve become more confident in my skills. I’m section leader and I’ve also started playing the piccolo.” She would like to thank her band directors and teachers for giving her an amazing four years in the PC band.

Representing the high school is not the easiest ■ job. Our Student Council pulls it off seamlessly. i

ithout the Student Council, many of the events that make the Upper School so special would not take place.

The gym would not be set up for the Homecoming dance, the cookie exchange would have no cookies, and Feb Fest would never even happen. However, with the great amount of work that STUCO does, the student body is able to participate in the festivities made possible by the amazing students involved. Members are involved in different committees: the executive board leads and helps with most of the planning, the steering committee is rather like an all-star pep squad, judiciary is in charge of creating rules for STUCO and clubs, and the other members are representatives

from the different sponsored clubs of the Upper School. Working together, these groups make up the largest organization of students at PC. Along with all of the hard work, executive board member and head of steering Dani Swords says she has “ learned a lot through student council, such as how to work well in a group and how to be a part of the huge community that student council is.” Vice President Zack Shevin adds that being a part of Student Council and planning events gives him the opportunity to bring the student body together. The Student Council would like to thank their sponsors Mr. Weinberg and Ms.Theoharris for all that they do to help them throughout the year.

Istudent council 1189

A yearbook carries a big responsibility of being a timeless keepsake for high school memories. These memories have to be precisely captured and displayed for you to enjoy. I could not do this task on my own. There is a little room in the union where all the magic happens. Where dance parties and delicious foods are found and Yerdz are hard at work. In that little room we grow both individually and together as a staff. We have mourned the death computers and laughed till we cried (c.f. PhotoBooth on computer 2). Shaped and molded by talented and dedicated writers, photographers, and designers, this book can be presented to you. I truly appreciate all of your help in bringing this book to life.

TO THE EDITORS WHO CAME BEFORE ME: Even if you are no longer here, you are all the reason I am here. Thank you for taking the time to teach me and allowing me to grow. Working with you gave me the courage to do this. I could not have my yearbook without all of yours. Your baby yerd is all grown up!

TO MY STAFF: Your efforts are the reason this book is not just a pamphlet. Even the smallest contribution is noticed. I love the participation at Tuesday staff meetings that carried throughout the year.

TO MY PHOTOGRAPHERS: Without your photos, the pages would not be able to come alive. I am always blown away by your talent to capture the essence of Pine Crest. From the fields, to the gym, to the stage, and the classrooms, you have perfectly captured a moment of time. I am so proud to call you my photographers and making the book beautiful.

TO MY WRITERS: Whether you are part of the actual yearbook staff or not, you have all conquered the difficulty of journalistic writing with poise and ease. You add an intangible layer to the book that gives context to every captured moment. I value your help and work that went into every single word.

TO MY AURASMA PEOPLE: Thank you for adding another dimension to this book. I know it was something new and different but your extra work makes this yearbook even more special. Special thanks to Rachel Hackman, Brian Meller, Audrey Louden, Carolina Salazar, Isabel Faife, and Ms. Porter for helping me in the process. Recording, editing, uploading, and linking footage could not have been done without all your gracious efforts.

PEDRO: Your photos are raw and capture the true beauty of passing time. You go for the shots and you always score big. The addition of your photos has been exceptional and incomparable. I know that yearbook photos may not always be the edgy portrait or frame you want, but I am increasingly impressed with your eagerness to succeed in any scenario. Thank you for all your hard work. I know you will go far in anything you put your mind to.

GIGI: The next generation of Yerdz will be in capable hands with you leading the way. The Index and dealing with senior ads are not the easiest jobs, but you seemed to always do it with a smile on your face. Both are extremely vital parts of the yearbook and without you, these final pages would not be complete. I don’t care if you are the chicken nugget or the chicken tender, but you are a star in my eyes. Your dedication to this book (and crossfit) is unparalleled. I will miss you and cannot wait to see what you do in years to come in and outside of the yearbook room.

TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS: I love you all. I know you may not have all chosen the yerd life but I chose you. Thanks for great snuggles, pretending to diet with me as we eat everything, lessons on snootitude, and just always being there for me. You are the greatest. We make it GADEV every day. I could not have asked for a better support system or a better group of friends.

TO BRITTANY: Your photos are unbelievable. The time you put into capturing a single instant is evident in the final product.

Since the day you set foot in yearbook, your talent has been incredible. Your level of photography and editing is something many people (including me) could never accomplish. Seeing the notification that your photos have been uploaded to dropbox is always a sigh of relief because they are always picture perfect.

TO CAROLINA: You have proven yourself time after time. For your dedication, enthusiasm, reliability, and willingness I am sincerely grateful. Our ranting and gossip-filled car rides are a plus. The caliber of your work on a camera and even the Go- Pro make this yearbook. You have abounding talent. You poured your heart into everything and anything you could do to help me make a deadline. You are amazing and your photos are stunning. You helped entrench every event, sports game, performance into every student's memories. You should be proud of yourself because I know I am proud of you.

TO JODIE: This yearbook would not have a complete sentence if it wasn’t for you. Your managerial and writing skills came together to make every page that much better. Your undeniable passion for writing has been evident since you joined yearbook (and probably since you came out of the womb). Your talent with words sets you apart and inspires me to be better. You are there for me even when you don’t need to be. You made every caption a masterpiece, every article a tour de force, and the Jared Lemole spotlight your true magnum opus. I have no doubt that you will succeed as long as you don’t forget to be awesome.

190 Itimeless |

TO BRIAN: Even though you couldn’t enjoy the food or always participate in the dance parties, having your positivity radiating through the room is more than enough. Although captions may not be your favorite, you do them anyway. You always work with your best efforts on a page or finding me the next up-and-coming song. The beautiful full page picture spreads do not come close to how beautiful you are as a person. Thanks for being you.

TO IVANNA: To my day one yerd, thank you for taking this journey with me. From start to finish you have had a keen eye for design. You may not always wake up flawless but your pages seem to always turn out to be. Thanks for being my right hand and always putting up with me. I am so proud of you for your growth as a yerd and as a person (guess you don’t need your boyfriend pillow anymore). Weekend Chipotle and Starbucks runs may not have been as fun as stickering every single yearbook; but I got to share every experience with you. There is no other person I would rather laugh at ourselves with.

TO HANNAH: To the sweetest, most patient, and kind person I know. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for every Schoology post, every motivational talk, and every moment you have supported me. I don’t care if you were the one who dropped the grape because in my eyes you can do no wrong. I know the club pages and making my abstract ideas come to life are tedious, but you handled them with leadership and ease. Thanks for being a ray of sunshine every second of every day, Hani bunches.

TO MRS. METZGER: Thank you for always being there for me in yearbook crisis or just in general. I don’t just go into your office for the candy, I truly value all your opinions and expertise. Our Bitmoji conversations will always be my favorite. Thank you for putting yearbook as a priority in your very busy schedule. You helped me through every obstacle the yearbook was confronted with. Your open door makes me always feel welcome. Thank you for being a voice of reason, the calm when there seemed to be a storm.

TO MRS. JARAMILLO: I am so grateful of all your time and effort you have invested in the book and me. Although sometimes your To-Do List seemed endless, your organization and managing skills always kept me on track. Stress balls, lavender oils, and all, you have been by my side. We have laughed and cried. We proved that we are the “Power of Two" and can solve all problems so that they become “Least Complicated.” With you, the endless technology mishaps, late night calls to Walsworth support, and junk food munching make the malfunctions “Closer to Fine.” I would not have our work days or this book any other way. x o x , H

P'C®CrestSchool

Pine Crest NEHS shows that their year was all booked with great events.

P h o t o g r a p h y & S to ry | Mr. A a r o n Gillego

he purpose of NEHS is to celebrate the high achievement of its invited members in their study of the English language and literature. NEHS membership at PC isn’t just honorific. With membership comes privileges, opportunities, and responsibilities so that the honor society becomes an active cocurricular club. Our annual events include the Fall Induction Ceremony, a triptothe Miami Book Fair International and Perez Art Museum Miami, our very own TEDxPineCrestSchool event, a trip to the Actor’s Playhouse, and our end-of-year Ice Cream Social.

This year we also added Poetry Out Loud, a poetry recitation contest, which we co-sponsored

T

with the Creative Writing Club.

This event on February 8th featured 26 student performances.

First place: Pedro Damasceno ‘ 18; Second place: Rayna Gordon ‘20; Third place: Bryce Emanuel ‘ 19.

NEHS conducts the nomination process for the NCTE Achievement Award in Writing every year.

All Junior NEHS members submit their writing and the Senior members read and rate the submissions blindly.

Through this process, NEHS indentifies our two nominees for the NCTE Achievement Award, and these nominees are adjudicated at the State level.

The process has yielded consecutive winners of the Award, the most recent of whom is Lilliana de Souza ‘ 17.

aniella’s Journey Healing through the Arts Community Service Project was established in 2010 by Daniella’s classmates from PC’s class of 2013 as a community service project; a partnership with Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital was created.

The goal of the project is to bring to hospitalized children an hour away from their hospital room, a break for the caretaker, or the opportunity for siblings to create themed fun crafts as we engage in conversations about their hospitalization, or their

lives outside of the hospital.

If a child cannot leave the room, Daniella’s Journey members have the opportunity to make the craft at the child's . ... . bedside, or some members will spend the hour playing a game with a child in his or her room.

The opportunities to make v a difference in the lives of the children and families is endless. As we work with the children, we all grow in very different ways. We are touched by the children’s strength, resilience, and appreciation for what we bring to them.

The opportunities to make a difference in the lives of the children and their families are endless.

Q: When did you become interested in Math?

A:Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed math; its logic and simplicity. To be honest, I just plain enjoy learning (unlike some of my students, I enjoy using my brain).

mission to instill math competency (through time and practice) instead of this math DNA ideology people have. At that moment I realized that this to me was more important than, say, something I did in the office.

I felt like even if they walked away from my class and never mastered fractions, I was still helping them, and there was a connection. To this day I still see them. You don’t get that anywhere else. So, moral of story? Even when you think you’ve chosen your path, it’s not always roses; you still need to work at it, but the difference is that even on your most tiring days, you wouldn’t choose anything else.

Q: How did you get from engineering to teaching?

A: I was an engineer for a few years, but I was always helping students on the side. Then one day there was a friend that said, “Why don’t you become a teacher?” To me, it’s always about enjoyment. I started to teach on the side and I enjoyed it. It was a gradual thing; it didn’t happen overnight.

Q:Was there ever any pressure to not be a teacher?

A: A lot of people told me not to be a teacher. People thought of it as a step down for me, I think. They would say, “if you’re gonna teach, why don’t you become a university professor?” They basically looked down on it.

Q: If you could talk to someone living or dead, who would it be and why?

A: It would probably be one of my ancestors (not Genghis Khan). I would like to know how they lived and how they were, so that I could better understand where I came from. I’m not interested in any famous historical figures. One afternoon having dim sum with Bruce Lee could be interesting too.

‘“ One afternoon having dim sum with Bruce Lee could be interesting too.

Q: If you could decorate the entire classroom in a pattern, what would it be?

A:I don’t believe in lots of decoration; I think bareness is underrated.

7 77

Q: How did you overcome that?

A:l don’t really care about all that. Ultimately, it is indeed my life. I think I knew myself well enough to know what would make me happy and fulfilled. I don’t think people can make decisions like this for you; if you let them, of course they will. Bad idea, though.

Q: Was there one moment you can remember when teaching that made you think to yourself, “this is what I want to be doing”?

A: I started my teaching career in an inner city middle school, and again, many people thought that would be the end, that I couldn t handle it. No, it wasn’t easy; initially, yes, the kids didn't really listen to me... but I still had an affection for them. Eventually I toughened up and I won them over when they knew I truly cared. It also became my

Q: Unibrow or sweat ketchup

A: Like there’s literally red stuff oozing from my body?! I guess that’s more surface area, so I’d say unibrow.

Q: What would you say to the senior class, any words...

A: Life is not one long straight tangent line; life is meant to be the curve. It’s not some checklist either. You may not like it at the time, but those inconvenient, possibly painful, detours will eventually give your life the richness and spice you would’ve missed if you stayed on your safe narrow path. Don’t worry, inevitably life will hand you its "gifts''.

Finally, I would say always be brutally honest with yourself. Don't ever lie to yourself, or make your endless excuses; you’ll never own your life if you do. And trust me, the one thing you do want to own, is your life, and one you can be proud of, too.

If you’d like to win, but you think you can't, It is almost a cinch that you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost; For out of the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will It's all in the fate of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are; You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win the prize.

Alii Gabby, From the time you were just 2 years old, teachers described you as amazingly well rounded and engaged in whatever you did. Dad always said you had a special power, your intuition. We so admire your never give up attitude, the high bar you always set for yourself, and the leadership you exhibit in all you do.

Always be true to yourself, trust your intuition, live in the moment and enjoy every day, every adventure and every challenge as that is what builds character and the special wonderful person you have become. You have everything you need right inside your heart and soul: Let it lead you and remember our love for you is unconditional and always will be.

Oh, and don't forget to perhaps practice a little meditation every day as a reminder of how being present is a precious gift.

We love you so much and are so proud of you!

Drisha Thank you for teaching us how to love absolutely, stretch beyond the limitations of our experience and imagine a different world.

Your hard work and accomplishments bring us tremendous pride but what far surpasses that is the person you’ve become!

The big heart, the giving soul and the aspirations you have that are completely yours. Know that you are always loved and supported, in all that you dream and all that your heart desires.

If you believe in yourself half as much as we believe in you, you will make miracles happen!

D ear Sam, "Play, Eat, and Sleep, that's just how it goes, and that’s how it will be the rest of my life" — your words that so capture your innocence at age 10. That innocence has transitioned into maturity, 5th grade into college, play into work, and sleep into study as inescapably as day turns into night.

Along the way, you have etched our memories with pride and joy, be it in the classroom, the baseball diamond, or while you’re coaxing out Coldplay on the ivories, but ultimately, it is the young man you have become that makes us most proud. You treat others with kindness and consideration, harbor malice towards none, and your big smile lights up any room.

So embrace your next journey with grit and determination, dream of greatness, and remember that the real purpose of life is to be happy being you.

We are going to miss you more than you will ever know.

O u r d e a re s t s o n Kevin, There is no manual on how to raise a man.

It may start with a wooden carved sling shot, a bicycle, fishing rods and evolve into motorcycling, diving or flying a plane. It may come from driving your sister to school, walking your dog or learning to play piano. It may come from immersion into life of a foreign family or volunteering your effort for the good of others. The most important of all is to teach you skills and to be able to learn and experiment throughout your life.

Wherever life takes you from now, we will always be there for you.
