New Mexico Well, cheers to this year being over. It’s been a hell of a journey and to say the least, I’ve learned a lot. Shout out to team Maige for dominating this paper since freshman year. I’ll miss having my other half around for all the wild shenanigans I plan to be getting myself into next year, but I guess it’s about time to pass the torch down to Casav, Elise, and Sharone. Y’all are gonna do great. I look forward to coming back and seeing all the ways you’ve improved an already topnotch newspaper. Just kidding, I’m not coming back. Good luck guys. - Megan DeBruyn, Print Editor-in-Chief

I know I’m going to look back on this and wish I had thought of something witty or nostalgic to write. But right now this is all I have to say: It’s been real. It’s been fun. It’s been real fun. But now it’s time for me to move on. And always remember... #YOLO. (Just kidding). #MAIGE. (Not kidding). - Paige Reisman, Print Editor-in-Chief

Senior Goodbyes from The Royal Banner Staff As excited as I am to finally be getting out of high school and on to the next stage of life, I am extremely grateful for all the amazing opportunities that were given throughout my 4 years here at Fairview. I have met so many incredible individuals that have had a huge influence on my life have helped me grow into the person I am. There is really no where else I would have liked to attend high school. I’m going to miss the mountains! - JJ Evanoff, Staff Reporter

Although it’s a pretty nostalgic time of year, I have to admit that it’s a huge relief to be getting out of here at last. Thanks, Fairview, for the good times, the bad times, and for being so influential to me. Also, many thanks to everyone who’s been on the Banner staff. It’s been fantastic working with you for the last four years, and I’m grateful to the new editors for continuing our work. - Janet Chen, Web Editor-in-Chief

Time flies when you’re having fun. It also apparently flies when you’re stressing out, staying out too late and staying up too late, procrastinating and producing, going on dates and getting dumped, meeting new people and getting lost on the way to your classrooms. I’m not gonna say it’s been a perfect four years, Fairview, but they’re certainly years I’ll remember for the rest of my life. So long, and thanks for the memories. - Eliana Goldstein, Web Editor-in-Chief Besides the occasional not so fabulous day in the halls of Fairview, we have had a totally rad four years. From kickin’ in the front seat or chillin’ in the back seat, we’ve loved our ride here at Fairview with championship games, spirit days, and senior loungin’. But, with proma, no snow days, and banned bake sales, Fairview’s been quite the ride and we’re ready to move on. We’ve made our minds up and with brains in our head and feet in our shoes, we are ready to steer ourselves any direction we choose. Peace out, Fairview. It’s been tight Knights, - Paige Lindgren, Copy Editor and Lindsay Barnes, Photographer Dearest Kali, i love u. 4evr. Since you first made fun of me wearing my red sweatshirt every day, you have been the best frand i coulda evr aksed for. I would say our best article everrrrrrrrrr was ze amazing wrasling preview. :) <3 :) <3 - Alex Flynn, Entertainment Section Editor

Dear Fairview, It’s been a good four years, but I think it’s time to move on. We’re just in different places now. It’s not you, it’s me. I’ve outgrown you. We need to see other people. To be honest, I’ve already met another school. But I’ll always remember the time we spent together. I hope we can still be friends. You’ve helped shape who I am, and you will always have a place in my heart. - Shoshana Pollack, In-Depth Section Editor All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. - Keenan Marrinan, Staff Reporter

What a amazing journey this has been. Fairview has been an ever-flowing fount of blessing and knowledge for four wondrous years. I cannot thank my peers, associates and subordinates enough for their support and faithfulness throughout my time as a knight. Fight on ye knights, fight on for victory. - Luke Schneider, Staff Reporter I’ve had a lot of experiences during high school, both good and bad. But what I’m going to remember most are the incredible people that I got to meet here at Fairview High School, who stuck by me in good times and bad, and were caring and considerate towards both me and each other. I hope that I have done my part to be worthy of your company! - Eamonn Morris, Staff Reporter Alright. I’m not gonna talk about all the good experiences and people that I met during the 4 years of my life because that is totally cliche. Instead, I’m gonna talk about movies. Don’t see “Scary Movie 5” even through illegal online sources because it’s a waste of your precious life. I can’t believe I actually paid to see that movie. K? K. Now, have a good life people, because it certainly beats having a bad life. - Brian Lee, Online Marketing Manager Dear Alex, I’ve loved you since the second I set my eyes upon you in 6th grade. We’ve written Pulitzer Prize winning work ever since the beginning journalism class we took sophomore year. We wrote outstanding food reviews and took the laughter to a new level in the humor section. Late nights would’ve been brutal without you by my side. Sav is still the funniest kid in this class. So I bid you farewell. A veeder say goodbye. XO, - Kali Crossen, Opinion Section Editor

The Options of Life

Senior Life

What are our Senior’s doing after High School?

What are you doing after high school?

Tori Anderson: Playing Division 1 volleyball at Eastern Kentucky University. Carly Hoaster: I’m going to Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts right down the street to learn how to be a chef and then hopefully cook in a kitchen. Sarah Mandel: I’m taking a gap year and travelling. Lillian Bitner: I’m going to play division 1 soccer at Yale University.

What are you looking forward to the most?

TA: Freedom, new people CH: Probably just getting out of high school and working somewhere where I actually do something I want to do. SM: Seeing the world and different cultures and experiencing something different than just Boulder. I’m going to Denmark and Central America. LB: The new adventure aspect of it and just having an entire completely new life... I’m going to miss my mom though.

Are you ready for the real world?

TA: No, but I’m sure I will be. I don’t know how to pay bills yet or all that stuff. CH: Yeah totally. And it’s only a year so once I get all the training I know I’ll feel comfortable in that kind of situation. SM: Not really... but I feel like when I travel, I will be. LB: Yeah I think that we’ve been prepared here at Fairview for academic rigor, pressure situations, and athletics.

Are you going to miss high school?

TA: Yes... friends mostly, good teachers. Not the work CH: Nope. Not at all. SM: Yeah I think so... Like I don’t think so right now but everyone says that you will. LB: Yeah I’m going to miss my friends mainly I’m just ready for a new adventure. Also the tra ditions here at Fairview and Fairview because it’s a great school. And all my soccer girls.

What made you decide to do what you’re doing?

TA: They saw me so they offered me a scholarship and I wanted to play somewhere and when I went to go visit the school I really liked the girls on the team and where the school is located. CH: It was the only thing that I felt I was truly good at and the only thing I could do and the one thing I feel really comfortable about. SM: Because I don’t really know what I want to do or what to study so I think if I go travel I will know what I want to do. LB: I just decided on Yale for academics and soccer.

The Knights of the Round Table award is a prestigious award given to ten to twelve seniors who exemplify what it means to be a Knight. They must be outstanding students, not just academically, but in all aspects, such as athletics or the arts. These students must be nominated by three teachers for exhibiting “a positive attitude, service to the school, and leadership qualities,” said Adriana Torres. Winners of the award must maintain at least a 3.75 weighted GPA. Winners were recognized at yesterday’s Knight of Excellence.

This year’s winners are: KATHRYN CUDDINGTON STEPHANIE ENRIGHT KIRA HEADRICK EMMA HUTCHINSON WILLIAM KINNARD KATHERINE KOWAL KATHLEEN KUOSMAN ABBY LEFEBVRE MATTHEW LINDGREN PAIGE LINDGREN GIA NYHUIS SARAH WALTERS JACKSON WOJCIECHOWSKI

Attention Seniors! Tips for Managing Your Health Care in College Guest Writer: Tom Rose and Family Voices Moving away from home to college is very exciting and, like the transition from middle school to high school, can also be scary. Being as prepared as possible is the best way to deal with the stress of this big change in your life. One area you can prepare for is managing your health care. Since you are the expert when it comes to your health, now is the time to start being more involved in your health care. By putting the right tools in place for managing your health during this time of transition you are making a commitment to your future health as well.

√

Carry your information with you –- including your health insurance card (a copy is fine), and a list of your health concerns and medications.

√

Ask your doctor for a written summary of your health conditions -- having an electronic version is also a good idea (keep it on a flash drive for easy transport.)

√

Be able to explain your healthcare conditions -- to people at school, the doctor, to therapists or anyone else who may need to assist in your care.

√ Know what medicines you take and why you take

them -- Know how to get refills when the medicines run out.

√ Know if you are allergic to anything -- and exactly

what happens to you when you have an allergic reaction.

√

Make an appointment with student health just to get acquainted -- Ask them about campus resources for students.

√

Learn the basics about your disease -- if you have a chronic illness or disease. Research the internet (WebMD is a good place to start). Ask your family how you got diagnosed with this disease.

Opinion

Prom Drinking

By Sarah M. Zerwin, adviser and the Royal Banner staff

Doc Z: As is often the case, a handful of students got caught intoxicated at prom this year. Students caught drinking can be angry at whichever forces led to them being held accountable for their behavior. Angry for what reason? Because your perceived right to do something illegal and potentially dangerous has been infringed upon? I’m left wondering how to engage students in a real discussion about drinking and other kinds of dangerous behaviors. This conversation (between me, the newspaper adviser, and my students on the newspaper staff) is an attempt at discussion about this important issue. Royal Banner: They are potentially ruining the best night of our lives. Z: So the best night of your lives can’t be so awesome if you don’t “party”? Bad decisions are what actually ruin the best night of your lives. Please remember that I was once a teenager--we all were. RB: Do the adults in our lives really care what we do? Z: We absolutely care what you do. Often it seems that if you don’t get caught doing something risky, it’s all good, right? No consequences? Not so. It can have the consequence of changing people’s perceptions of you and the perceptions you have of yourself. RB: It’s definitely still possible to drink responsibly. In a lot of other countries around the world, the drinking age is 16 or lower--if there is one. Z: I don’t disagree with this. But we don’t live in a world where this is permitted by the laws that we have. Sure, kids in those countries can purchase it legally, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t still make bad decisions with it. RB: Yes but drinking is so embedded in our culture. Plus, being intoxicated can be a very enjoyable experience. If you are in a safe environment I see no reason why not. Plus, in those countries with very low drinking ages, adolescents, for the most part, learn how to drink responsibly at an early age. Z: The fact that drinking is embedded in our culture IS a huge problem. Because it’s illegal for teens, teens drink out of view of the adults who care about their safety, adults who could help them make better decisions. This is certainly a problem. But not enough reason in my mind to lower the drinking age. RB: I believe that even though teens maybe shouldn’t be drinking, doesn’t mean they are going to stop. Kids will be kids, and I think adults need to stop playing dumb and be a little more open minded to meeting us halfway if they are, in fact, concerned for our safety. Z: I’ve never thought that “kids will be kids” is an appropriate reason to decide not to try to address an issue with real consequences. “Kids will be kids” is an appropriate response to juvenile behavior that doesn’t hurt anyone. But underage drinking is not that kind of thing. I remember feeling 16 and invincible. But I figured the horror stories my parents and teachers told me wouldn’t happen to me because I was smarter than the average kid, right? Even a few classmates wrapping a car around a tree one night didn’t make me realize that the same could happen to me. Even standing in a hospital room looking at one of those classmates transformed from tremendous athlete into a permanent vegetative state didn’t make me think I wasn’t invincible. None of us are. And that’s why we--students and the adults who really, truly do care about them--need to honestly talk with each other about these things. On the Friday before prom this year, I said to my students as they left my classroom at the end of class, “make good decisions this weekend!” But just saying that does not go far enough toward actually helping my students to make good decisions. So in the future, I will make space to have more conversations like this.

Feminism is Not a Dirty Word

By Shoshana Pollack

Illustration by Alex Ray

I can’t pin down the exact moment when I became a feminist. It was more of a gradual change than anything. All I can tell you is that, this time last year, if you had asked me if I was a feminist, I would have answered you with a definitive “no!” Not only that, but I probably would have been a little bit offended. “What would make you think that?” I would’ve asked. And here’s why. I have grown up in a society where “feminism” is a dirty word. It is seen by many as being synonymous with being “butch,” the kind of girl who lifts weights six days a week and can beat just about anyone at arm wrestling. Don’t get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being that kind of girl. It’s just not who I am.

“FEMINISM is not a dirty word.” On top of being afraid that becoming a feminist would make me suddenly develop a six pack, I also used to buy into the common perception that feminism is annoying and pointless. “They don’t even have it that bad!” I used to say. “There are real problems in this world and they’re complaining about that?” But sometime last year, I read a quote by Kate Nash, a British pop singer, girly girl, and self proclaimed feminist. ““FEMINISM is not a dirty word,” she wrote on her blog. “It does not mean you hate men, it does not mean you hate girls that have nice legs and a tan, and it does not mean you are a ‘bitch’ or ‘dyke’, it means you believe in equality.”

That was when I realized that being a feminist is not a bad thing. From there, I began to see what I had been overlooking. I opened my eyes to the inequality in the world, everything I had been ignoring and even encouraging, in order to remain “normal.” The other day in my politics class, my teacher asked the girls what they thought of men who treated women poorly based on what they were wearing. Several of the girls said things like, “If women don’t want to be objectified, they should wear more clothing,” and “if I wear a swimsuit, I’m going to get whistled at. That’s just the way it is. If I don’t want men objectifying me, I should cover up.”

We need feminism because rape survivors are still being blamed. It made me furious. In my opinion, girls (and guys,) should be able to wear whatever they want, and still be treated with respect. As angry as their opinions made me, I still hesitated to speak up, for fear of being called a feminist. In the end, I did say something. Not as much as I would’ve liked to, but I’m getting there. What it comes down to is this: we need feminism. The world needs feminism. We need feminism because rape survivors are still being blamed for what happened to them because of what they were wearing. We need feminism because people think it’s okay to sexually harass girls on public transportation. We need feminism because if a guy has a lot of sex, he’s a player, but if a girl has a lot of sex, she’s a slut. We need feminism because last week, someone told me they couldn’t take me seriously because my shirt was too low cut. We need feminism because we need equality. But how are we ever going to get equality if we can’t even stand up for ourselves without feeling like we’re doing something wrong?

Seniors Kelly Moran, Megan McCambridge, and Jordan Sunset all placed in the top ten to snatch up an opportunity to steal the State Tournament this year. The Lady Knights won the regional event by a slim one stroke advantage to Legacy. Moran and McCambridge led the Knight’s charge both posting four over 76’s with Sunset shooting an 83 and Freshman Madison McCambridge posting her first regional score, a 91.

Boys Swimming:

The Knights have high hopes for the Colorado Class 5A State Championships this weekend. The Knights dominated a cross town duel against Boulder High and were once again Boulder County Champions. Fairview anticipates a top ten finish at the state meet while claiming a possible top 5 finish. With more than 16 state qualifiers, the Knights want to improve on last years seventh place effort. Grand Junction will be the site of this years state meet, where more than 60 teams will be competing for the championship. Team standouts include: Connor Corrigan (200 Free, 200 I.M.), Max Phillips (200 Free, 100 Free), Alex Walton (200 Free, 500 Free), Miles Mackenzie (100 Free, 50 Free), and Rei Isobe (100 Breast), and Fox Anderson (100 Fly).

Girls Soccer: After a taste of the state top ten rankings earlier this season, the Lady Knights are eager prove themselves in this year’s state playoffs. Notching an impressive 10-2-1 season record in the regular season, the Knights earned a No. 5 seed in the tournament. With a win over Fruita Monument last Wednesday, the scarlet and white will advance to Round Two of the playoffs and will face either Denver East or Castle View. The Knights finished the season with an appetite for goals, led by forward Reci Smith, who turned in four of her eleven goals of the season in the last three games. The Knights have shown flashes superior offense this season, outscoring their opponents thirty goals to nine, and hope to extend their quest for the net into the postseason.

A big congratulations to ultimate frisbee for placing second in state last sunday at Dicks Sporting Goods Field Complex!

BRENT WRAPP

Royal Banner: How long have you been playing tennis? Katie Kuosman: I’ve been playing since I was 5 years old. RB: How would you describe your senior season? KK: My senior season has been pretty anti-climactic. The weather has certainly kept us on our toes and we’ve had to be pretty flexible. Despite all the craziness, I’ve had an absolute blast getting to know all the girls on the team and I’ve made some great memories so far! RB: What happened in the Front Range Championship finals? KK: I lost in the Front Range League Championships final to one of the top ranked girls in the nation. It was a really tough match for me, but I just looked at it as a great learning opportunity for me. RB: Best individual performance this year? KK: I think my best individual performance this year was beating one of my really good friends in the finals of the Grand Junction tournament.

Royal Banner: How long have you been playing basketball? Brent Wrapp: I’ve been playing for as long as I can remember.

BW: I think the best team performance was against Thunderidge in the playoffs. RB: What was it like playing with someone who had much size as Austin Sparks? BW: Sparks is a very athletic, big man who uses his size well and is mobile for his height. RB: Where will you be taking your talents next year? BW: I will be going to Cal-State Bakersfield next year for basketball. Photos by Emily Ellis & Joey Heilman

July 3: “Despicable Me 2” Pretty sure that these movies are secretly aimed at the teenage demographic. The first movie was an adorable, silly romp with a delightful protagonist played by Steve Carell and Steve Carell’s weirdest accent. “The Lone Ranger” Johnny Depp plays a racist stereotype who is probably on drugs. Oh, and there’s some wild wild west shoot-em-up action. Should be interesting.

Albums

By Alex Ray Lonely Island-”The Wack Album”-June 11 Finally, after months of waiting, Lonely Island announced their new album, to be released on June 11. After the YouTube release of “YOLO” in late January, everyone has been increasingly desperate to listen to Lonely Island’s coveted new album. The “Saturday Night Live” phenomenon lit up the comedy world with “I’m on a Boat” and “Like a Boss”, and will likely continue to do so with “The Wack Album”.

3OH!3-”Omens”-June 18 3OH!3, a band straight out of Fairview, (Sean Foreman was a Fairview grad), will release their newest studio album on June 18. It will be interesting to see how this release will fare with regards to the criticism after the release. Their pre-released single, “You’re Gonna Love This”, is musically uninteresting. This lack of quality was offset by a semi-interesting music video, however, the album will be rather lackluster if the single is anything to judge by. Daft Punk-”Random Access Memories”-May 21 As a perfect way to begin the summer (or finals week), Daft Punk will release its much anticipated new album, “Random Access Memories”. The French band, for its powerful techno music as well as the “Tron” soundtrack, is extremely excited about utilizing live musicians for this new album. Due to less reliance on synthesizers and computers, this new album will be yet another great chapter in Daft Punk’s brilliant career. Photo: Wiki Commons

We are here today to mourn the loss of our beloved Hugh Moore. He was an honest man, a fine doctor, and nothing else. He was a serious man, who never put up with nonsense or silliness, and who was always honest with everyone. His death was sudden, taken in his prime when he was torn apart by a pack of deranged activists after he told them that their cause was unnecessary and their attitudes abrasive. But we are not here to mourn his death but to celebrate his life. As a doctor, he helped countless individuals forget their ailments with what some would call the best medicine there is. Iâ€™m talking, of course, about his gratuitous use of painkillers and opiates. A lesser man might call his techniques excessive and dangerous. His honesty and straightforwardness was his greatest strength and his most grievous flaw. Everyone wanted Hugh Moore to break the ice and deliver bad news. But Hugh Moore was a just an ordinary man and had his weaknesses. He was far too humble, more malicious minds abused him. Hugh Moore is now dead because he was abused and overused by his fellow man. All we can do now is hope that he will rest in peace, and know that he bequeathed us something good. Because it was the least he could have done for the people who took time out of their busy lives to come to his lengthy eulogy and pretend to be sad for a while. We must now say our final goodbyes, because this space is reserved for a piano recital now. Refreshments are in the forum, thank you for attending.

I am fairly certain that there is a 100% chance of this happening to you 70% of the time. If a bee flies up your gown, try to make it look as if you are dancing rather than writhing in pain and anguish. I suggest something well-known, like the electric slide, or you could bring back an old favorite such as the cabbage patch. Either way, you probably won’t be dancing for a good long time because of those welts, so try to enjoy it while you can.

5. Falling asleep

Let’s be honest, hearing that long list of names is incredibly boring and can quickly induce sleep. If this happens, you have several options. You could cut a ping pong ball in half, draw a black dot in the center of each half and then glue them to your face. This will make it look like you’re awake. Or you could set the loudest alarm possible on your phone to go off minutes before you are supposed to be onstage. The resulting mini-earthquake should startle you awake. Photo by Maddie Stachniak
