flag.... “I was glad I got to perform one last time with my team, but sad that this year was ending because I’ve made a lot of close friendships and I don’t want this year to end,” said Hastings. 2 Sophomore BRENDAN CHOU juggles during I’s Math Analysis Honors class for extra credit. “It was scary while I was up there, but when I finished, it was rewarding seeing everyone clap,” said Chou. 3 Sophomore HASAN LIOU argues Napoleon is a more influential leader during Wood’s AP European History extra credit debates. “I was really nervous, but I had to push aside the tension and try to deliver my speech without studdering,” said Liou.

CAR WASHES AND FUNDRAISING

Students were able to earn money to support the music department by washing cars. “People would think that it was boring but, it was fun. It was really successful and at one point the cars kept coming continuously and [I think we washed] at least 200 cars,” said Lung. 6

Freshman orientation -- it’s the time when incoming and prospective freshmen pour in and get a grasp of possible organizations to join during their high shcool years. Performing on Friday, May 15, Colorguard showcased their winter guard show. This performance marked the last time for Color Guard and many other organizations to perform in the school year. “It’s definitely more nerve wracking because we wanted the freshmen to both enjoy our performance, and leave a really good first impression,” said sophomore CINDY ZHANG.

season. “The winter guard show was really successful during the winter guard season. We already had practiced it, so we thought it would be a good choice to use. I think it was our most impressive show,” said junior LINETTE TANG. This being the first time that the eighth graders were offered an opportunity to watch the Color Guard perform. “It’s sort of funny, because most of us saw color guard for the first time during orientation, but the seniors last performance is orientation.

The environment’s more intense,” said Ong. “After CIF, I feel like I’m not as good as I thought I was and I can always improve. I feel like I can work harder so I can do better next time I play CIF.”
