hen it comes to the policies at Puyallup High School, there is often a cloud of confusion surrounding the technology policy. According to the 2014-2015 Student Handbook, “Audio devices, recorders, cameras, electronic games and cell phones are not to be brought to school without permission.” The 2014-2015 Student Handbook also states that, “Personal laptops, e-readers, tablets and cell phones may have a place in the educational setting.” With mixed messages being sent, it easy to understand the confusion among students as of to what the policy actually is. Long-time Puyallup High School teacher Dan Picha believes that students should not use their phone in class except at time when he deems it appropriate for educational purposes. “I follow the district policy which essentially is that students cannot use their electronic devices in the classrooms. Although I do allow them to use their cell phones if it is a part our curriculum that day,” Picha said. While first year Puyallup High School teacher Alec Elliot has adopted his own electronic policy to his classroom. “My electronic policy is I do not really have one; I established something at the beginning and they know when they can have their electronic devices and they know when they cannot,” Elliot said. Junior Gerardo Zaragoza believe that it is not really a sense of confusion among students when it comes to the technology policy but more of a sense of not caring about what the policy is. “It is not confusion but more of not caring about what the rule is,” Zaragoza said. On average, three confiscated cell phones are brought to the office everyday, according to Administrative Assistant Ruthie Bertrand. Academically, cellphones have taken on an important role in the educational setting. “I use my calendar on my phone quite often to remember tests and many classrooms do not have computers or laptops so phones with Internet connection can be used for research,” senior Kasy Stepner said. Elliot, who teaches math, explained how it is in the state math standards for students to use other means of technology besides the average calculator. If he did not allow students to use their phones then he would not be meeting state standards. Security guard Jim Jenkins believes that there is a place in the educational setting for cell phones but also believes that the current cell phone policy is not strict enough. “I would say the [cell phone] policy is not strict enough, if it was me I would say if you were going to go to the bathroom or to get a drink of water that you would have to leave your phone or iPod at the teacher’s desk,” said Jenkins. “In our experience students could be using that as an excuse to look at their phone or text a friend.” Principal Eric Fredericks appreciates that the cell phone policy has become more open ended and that it allows for teachers to use cell phones for instruction as they see need. “...I think it gives them an opportunity to consider proper use of technology in their classrooms,” Fredericks said.

Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA) is promoting one of its three annual blood drive by Cascade Regional Blood Services happening Friday, Nov. 14. HOSA signs students who are 16 years of age or older up to give blood for a good cause. The Red Cross says that approximately 5 million people in the United States need blood every year. The donated blood goes to the Cascade Regional Blood Bank for testing and storage after donation. Senior Emily Olson is the president of HOSA and has been part of the club for three years. “[HOSA] got to tour the blood bank a few months ago and we got to see what they do with the blood and the long process it goes through in order to verify that it is good and able to be transfused into patients. We also learned that babies are most in need of blood,” Olson said. In the past three years HOSA has met the donation goals for the blood drive. HOSA helps with three blood drives a year. Senior Hailey Allen has been an active participant in HOSA for three years. “Cascade really appreciates it because a lot of their blood comes from high school drivers and in the years I have done it, we have always reached our donor goal,” Allen said. “Just one donation helps out a lot because it can save the lives of three babies, which I find amazing because only one pint can do so much.”

RECOGNIZING NEED ENCOURAGED Behind the scenes, malicious and deteriorating—we are all facing demons. Life in high school can be completely overwhelming with sports, grades, family life, social interactions and everything in between. Every situation is different and everyone handles these situations differently. Some can find healthy ways to release the pent-up stress and teenage angst, while others go by other means to release pain and anxiety. This determining factor can sometimes mean the difference between life and death. Generally, if we so choose, we can hide our inner demons and pain from all of those around us. Put on a fake smile, sound out a fake laugh—a masquerade of false emotion. There is a problem in that but when we lie to ourselves, we create a worse problem. Sometimes the burdens we face are too large to face alone. Hopeless. So hopelessly forlorn in fact, that we push the feelings down so that even we do not know the pain we are under. That is when accidents happen. We might be able to lie to others

with ease and maybe even from ourselves—but eventually, these demons will come forth and wreak havoc. The Viking Vanguard pushes you to be mindful of mental health. Be there for your loved ones, make sure they know that you are there to support them in their endeavors. Relationships form in high school. It is natural. But do not let a relationship “BUT MOST IMPORTA NTLY, IF YOU NEED H E L P, D O N O T B E AFRAID TO ASK FOR I T .” OUR VIEW

dictate who you are or what you do. If you are feeling uncomfortable with a situation, contact a help line or speak to your family or counselor. Do not force the issue or strive to make yourself perfect for someone you admire. Be the best you that you can be and be content with that. Another problem facing high school

students is substances and substance abuse. Drinking and smoking is something that unfortunately is commonly used to relieve stress or pent–up pain. Note that while these substances may provide temporary relief, they are not permanent fixes. Seek solutions that are not detrimental to your physical health and will allow you to be stable instead of fluctuating from extreme mental high points to low points. We urge you to mind yourself. Be prepared. Turn your homework in, do not let it stack up into a mountain. Get a proper amount of sleep every night, even if it means turning off your phone and focusing on your work load. Do everything you can to help yourself through your life efficiently and easily. But most importantly, if you need help, do not be afraid to ask for it. Help can always be found. Whether it be from your family, friends, counselor or the contacts listed in the Focus of this issue. Do not be ashamed of your problems. Instead be proud of the progress you have made with yourself and continue to strive for a better, healthier you.

Exploring new lengths:

The opportunity to volunteer with the cross-country team led one staffer on an adventure of self discovery through the paths, courses and miles. Wind and rain are never a good combination, especially in October. The dead leaves that fall from the trees are almost symbolic of how empty and cold this month makes you feel. A hidden beauty but not one you necessarily want to be exposed in for three hours. Oct. 25 was the day I volunteered to go to leagues for cross country to do service for the Viking Ladies. Siri told me the weather condition was cloudy with a chance of rain so I brought what I thought was a waterproof jacket to Fort Steilacoom JAYCEE Park along with my Costco B U S I N E S S rain boots that I secretly wished were Hunter brand rain boots. Ten minutes into my half hour drive the rain started to pour, I figured it would pass but I guess this was not my lucky day. My windshield wipers were on full speed and at this point and I thought they would fly right off my car. When I arrived at the muddy park I noticed a few things specifically. One, the rain had not ceased to fall but only increased in its intensity. Two, there were many more purple tents than I planned on. Three, there were

about 15 different schools from the state in attendance which was many more than I imagined. Approximately 12 minutes after my arrival, team Captain Jordan Binford and Coach Monoghan directed me to the finish line where I would then spend the next three hours. I was handed an orange safety jacket and told to usher the runners safely across the finish line and to the end where they gave their ticket to another volunteer that determined their place. I heard the gunshot off to my right that signaled HOUSE M A N A G E R the start of the race and I felt my body tense up as a teacher from Kalles told me it was not uncommon for runners to vomit at the finish line. I did not take in to consideration that a 5K is a huge race which requires a great deal of endurance and strength, almost all of which has completely run out by the end of the 3.1 miles. This was no walk in the park. There is no accurate way to describe the looks on the contestant’s faces as they crossed the finish line. I would say they had on somewhat post-

apocalyptic expressions, with their heavy breathing, red faces and very sweaty bodies. Some came in with great speed, some came in looking like they could hardly take a step. It was my job to congratulate them on their great work but also to gently usher them along to the very finish so they would not lose their rank to someone who cut ahead of them in line. I was not the only one who gasped when I saw a girl face plant in the mud the moment after she touched the black and white checkered line with her spiked running shoes. Quickly I ran to take her number tag so she could keep her time. Following quickly behind me came two other volunteers to help the student get back up so she would not be trampled by the herd of other runners coming in behind her. The rain really increased in intensity once the boy’s junior varsity came along. I quickly found out that my $40 waterproof jacket was not actually waterproof. Luckily the team captain had a jacket to spare. Three hours in the freezing rain makes you grateful for anything, especially an oversized borrowed jacket.

Senior approaches open trails “Ready to run?!” I fumbled with the door of the Astro van. It slid shut on the third try, slamming with a sense of finality, shaking the whole vehicle and the jar of butterflies where my stomach used to be. “No, not really,” I buckled my seatbelt anyway. “Don’t worry! It’ll be fun!” Mary chirped, yanking the The Whale on Wheels in reverse and swerving its boxy bulk on the road. Mary, of course, had nothing to worry about. An experienced runner with abs of steel and the fortitude to match, Mary could tackle 10 miles in a little over an hour, without breaking a sweat and still have enough energy to immediately knock out a hardcore core session, counting off crunches like a Navy SEAL. Then there was Rachel in the passenger seat, built like a whippet and twice as quick. She could down five donuts and 10 miles, a millisecond faster than Mary, without a break conversation. These were the people I was running with—Olympic athletes in training. Before I continue, it is imperative to make a few things clear. Before signing the cross-country participation forms, I had (A) never run more than three miles, few and far between, on a track or treadmill, and (B) when I say “run”, I actually mean “walk.” I was the kind of person to admire athletes from afar, then return to the familiarity of my home, schoolwork and books. I loved knowing exactly what I would do every morning, every afternoon, every week and weekend. Now I huddled in the slouch of halfasleep, gym shoe-tying, raggedy teens in two inch shorts and legs light-years long.

The church owned the building previously and we used it for our youth area and then we turned it into a coffee shop. It is a non-profit ministry extension of our church. We just wanted to give people another place to meet," Carlson said. "We named it after the [Holy Trinity], the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." In addition to being a hang out spot, Thr3e provides students with volunteer opportunities for community service hours being a barista.

nmanaged stress can cause many mental, physical and emotional issues. Unmanaged stress can lead to hypertension, high blood pressure and heart disease as well as anger, irritability, social anxiety disorder and cause strain on relationships-- romantic or not. Patt Ellis is a Crisis Intervention Coordinator with the Kent Police Department and also works as a Chaplain. He has been with the department for 14 years. “When you put stress in to that you see people start to struggle with looking for the activity which feeds that feeling or desire to engage in reckless activity. Stress causes us to feel out of control emotionally. We feel out of sorts and need to do something to bring that sense of control back. Some of those behaviors come out in being reckless; driving fast, gambling, getting drunk or high and engaging in extramarital affairs or sexual addictive behaviors,” Ellis said. Driving fast and addiction to drugs as a release put students lives at risk. “Because of stress symptoms, people will start to seek out activities that are unhealthy and lead to certain addictions. If you look at the personality type that does best in high stress environments you will see they close alight with the addictive personality type. I would not say that addiction is the main effect but because of the addictive personality falling in to addictive behaviors is an issue that must be looked and addressed,” Ellis said. David Guidry is an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) and has been in the medical field for 18 years. “I think the term addiction is overused. When people talk about problems a lot of them feel controlled by external factors while in reality they do have control. The main idea for coping with addictions and stressful behaviors is by developing internal controls instead of external controls,” Guidry said. “It is also about resilience, like how some military veterans develop PTSD while others in similar and sometimes the same situation do not see any affects to their mental health. The veterans who do not experience PTSD usually have developed a higher sense of self.” Ellis offered coping strategies with addiction. “People can become addicted to working out, playing computer games, to the internet and even to their phones. One of the addictive behaviors that we are starting to see more and more of is an addiction to social media, especial since we all carry smart phone now. Some of the games on our phones can become very addicting,” Ellis said. Guidry offered a different look at coping with stressful and addictive situations. “Yoga, exercise and meditation are good building blocks for promoting self worth and better capacity for not being as affected by high stress situations.” Guidry said “Sexual compulsions as well as video games can become addictions that are not skilful coping choices compared to meditation and exercise this way students can be more prepared to deal with the hardships and stress high school brings.”

Idealized relationships alter goals

Stress causes addiction B Y

In light of recent events, The Viking Vanguard has decided to illuminate certain aspects of mental health and stress. The challenging problems of addiction and high school relationships are given specific attention.

The importance of maintaining a healthy relationship with your significant other can often motivate students to put their academics on the sidelines. Teacher Cassandra Mueller spoke on the need to prioritize proper schooling over a successful relationship. “I would say as a teacher that school should always come first. You should not sacrifice doing well in school or being around your family for a romantic partner,” Mueller said. Mueller discussed the healthy qualities necessary in maintaining a healthy relationship. “I think assertiveness and communication are important. I think that assertiveness is difficult for a lot of people because being assertive means that you can express your feelings without damaging another person. Being able to express yourself is a huge risk when you really have an attraction towards someone,” Mueller said. “Knowing yourself is really important. It is best to knowyourself before you enter a relationship and know what you want, what you do not want, all of that is very important for whatever relationship friend or romantic relationship you want.” Health teacher Sue Krippaehne discussed the important steps one must take before subjecting themselves to a relationship. “Cultivate a friendship. Get to know the person as a friend so that you really are getting to know them and are not so wrapped up around the romantic part of a relationship, which takes the stress off. Learn about them. Find out what their favorite things are,” Krippaehne said. “I would suggest at first, go places with groups. I think that starts a relationship out with nice stability.” Senior Colton Buse emphasized the importance of expressing your feelings and opinions in a relationship in order to maintain trust. “If you have anything to say make sure you say it. Do not hold anything back. Be up front and do not hide anything,” Buse said. While being in a relationship may seem like the appropriate option for some, you should never feel obligated to enter a relationship that you do not feel comfortable with. Mueller spoke on the benefits of avoiding entering a high school relationship. “It is okay not to date. You have your entire life to decide what you want to do. If you want to romantically pair off with someone, you have your whole life to think about the positive and negatives of being in a relationship,” Mueller said.

“Although stress can seem as if it is omnipresent and never seems to dissipate, you need to focus on the positives, they are more plentiful than you realize. Once you realize the positives in your life, you will find the positives outweigh the negatives and the situation that you are in is put into perspective,” Senior Anastassia Dymovskaya said.

In her seven years at PHS, Lucksinger says she has experienced many things and made many fond memories. “I really cannot pick out just one [favorite PHS memory] it would have to be just the people in general,” Lucksinger said. Being immersed in the unique culture at PHS as a janitor has shaped Lucksinger’s perspective and allowed her to see students differently. “I have been doing it for 13 years and

the kids are very interesting, they come from all walks of life. You do learn from them as much as they learn from you. It is not just the looks because looks can be very deceiving. You need to get to know the person before you pass judgment,” Lucksinger said. When she is not at PHS, Lucksinger enjoys spending time with her fiancé and grandchildren.

I am what you may call a foodie. In fact, I watch the Food Network for fun. So as you could guess, I jumped at the opportunity to visit Arista, the newest addition to the restaurant population of downtown Puyallup.

Brady Winter Senior Brady Winter is stepping up for the basketball team and says he is ready to lead the team this season as captain. “At the end of last season, my coach and I were talking about how big of a year we could have. We have eight guys returning and we need a leader as well as how he wanted me to be that leader and hopefully [we will] make it to the playoffs,” Winter said. Winter was not happy about the end of last season and the seniors leaving without a victory. “It [was unfortunate] because I played with Daniel Jay (Winter’s brother) during basketball and that was really cool. I was also playing with Nick Gutierrez, who was Tony’s brother, so it was really great having two brothers on the same team,” Winter said. Brady is happy however to see some of the underclassmen that could potentially play with him this year. “We have two point guards Nathaniel [Holcom] and Myles [Smith] who will be on varsity,” Winters said.

Maddy Loe Senior Maddy Loe is one of the captains of the gymnastics team this season and wants to be like the seniors from last year. “I feel confident, I am definitely going to miss the seniors from last year because they were all a really good part of the team. They really kept you pumped up and they had really good scores,” Loe said. Loe really wants to prepare her team for this season. “This year I am trying to make sure we have a strong team by conditioning them a lot. Honestly I am really excited, I am ready to go, I want to start getting our team out there and competing and see where we are going to be at with the other teams,” Loe said. Loe also wants to see some of the younger gymnasts competing as well. “There is this a girl from Kalles [Junior High] and she just quit Crystal Club Gymnastics and she is really good so I am excited about that,” Loe said. Overall Maddy Loe is ready for this upcoming season. “I am just ready to get out there,” Loe said.

I am excited and ready for my first year of high school wrestling,” Franich said. Franich has talked to the other team captains and they are excited as well. “The captains actually came up to me and basically asked if I was ready [for the season] and I told them I was,” said Franich. Franich will be missing the first week, however, while he recovers from surgery for his hearing aid. “I am 100 percent deaf and [the] implant inside of my head failed, so I had to replace it and get a new one in there,” Franich said. Franich is going to be prepared for this season. “I just cannot wait to compete this year,” Franich said.

Colkitt is about to start his last season of wrestling with Puyallup High School. “As seniors I feel that our experience will benefit us [this year],” Colkitt said. After making it through the season to be an alternate for State last season, Colkitt wants to do even better this year. “I felt that I could have done better, I could have done more to prepare myself for [the] post-season,” Colkitt said. Colkitt also believes in the talent in the underclassmen as well. “I think that Josh Franich will have success as a sophomore as well as Tucker Hanson and Hunter Godwin as juniors,” Colkitt said.

This year’s team, however, will be different from teams that came before. “We actually have almost half of a team of sophomores [this year],” Steimle said. Steimle says she is ready to compete with her Puyallup High School team, as leader, one last time. “I cannot wait to play with all of my wonderful teammates since this will my senior year,” Steimle said.
