Congratulations Class A farewell from of 2019 Valedictorians! the editors Amber Eusebio Editor-inChief
MOLLIE DOSTALEK Reporter
As the 2018-2019 school year comes to a close, a few incredible seniors share the academic spotlight. The term valedictorian is an accumulation of their intelligence, hard work, and dedication to performing their best in the classroom, as well as any outside activities. This year’s list, composed of over thirty names, featured seniors of all different backgrounds. Although we can’t exactly see their future, it’s not hard to tell it will be bright. Chiara “Kiki” Fields is a prime exemplar. Many know her for her bright red hair or for her positive attitude, but Kiki also shines in the classroom, quad, and field. She’s a phenomenal flute player, being especially acclaimed among her peers. In addition, she captained the Varsity Girls Soccer Team in her senior season while still finding a way to maintain her grades and participate in other extracurriculars. “I have had to sacrifice a lot of sleep and I’ve had to sacrifice nights out with friends in order to be successful,” she details. But it seems as the hard work has paid off. She will attend the University of California, San Diego next fall majoring not only in environmental studies, but minoring in global studies as well. Think you’re seeing double? Nope, that’s Gabe Fields, who boasts an equally as successful resume as twin sister Kiki. He will attend UCSD to major in environmental studies, internal studies, or “something along that line.” Like his sister, Gabe is also extremely involved in school, sports and extracurriculars. The
senior miraculously balances his time as a swimmer, water polo player, and musician, with his studies. “The biggest challenge I’ve had to overcome is finding time to fit my complex schedule into the time I have in a day,” Gabe admits while reflecting on the balance of it all. “Because I’m busy with sports, music, and complex classes, it can be hard to fit all of that into the small amount of time I do get,” he adds. Regardless, we’re happy to report
“The biggest challenge I’ve had to overcome is finding time to fit my complex schedule into the time I have in a day.”

that the senior has been able to balance the rigor. Don’t let her short stature fool you, Saida Wiltz tackles anything and everything in her path. She frequently participates in clubs like More for Students and Z-Girls, while obviously acing all things academic. The track and soccer star, committed to Saint Edward’s University, will not only continue her career as a collegiate athlete, but as pre-med student majoring in bio-chem.
Any other student would panic with a schedule only half as full. Not Wiltz. “For senior year, the hardest part is senioritis,” she jokes, ignoring the pressing deadlines and piling projects. All jokes aside, Wiltz also attributes much of her success to how she has readied herself at Wilson. “A rigorous class schedule has prepared me for the future by exposing me to college level courses,” she admits. Well, pressure does make diamonds! The water might be the best place to find senior Carolina Newton. Between co-captaining the girls water polo team in the pool and working as a commissioner in Link Crew, ASB, and Z-Girls, she spends her free time surfing or just hanging out at the beach. This could explain why she is deciding to attend Loyola Marymount University majoring in Communications. Being such a standout in the student body, Newton finds the strength to make an impact by investing her time to improving herself both in the classroom and the community. “My rigorous class schedule here at Wilson has taught me how to prioritize school but still be able to balance fun activities,” she mentions. “I’ve learned how to work collaboratively and how to take very good notes!” Newton responds in question to how she’s grown academically. Tulane University is getting a good one. Verak Monh received a four year fully paid scholarship from the university for his outstanding participation in the community and of course, his grades. With this opportunity, he hopes to See VALEDICTORIANS (page 6)
It’s hard to believe that my four years as a student at Wilson have come to an end. For most of high school, I thought graduation seemed like a lifetime away. However, now that I’m a senior, it feels like my years at Wilson have flown by faster than I ever could have imagined. During freshman and sophomore year, I dabbled in various activities, but I never found anything that I was overly passionate about. It wasn’t until junior year that I really found my niche. In my junior year, I decided to join the Loudspeaker, the school newspaper that you are currently reading, and to this day, it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I decided to join the Loudspeaker to gain experience in the journalism industry, since I knew that I wanted to enter college as a journalism major and eventually have a job in the publication industry. As soon as I joined the Loudspeaker, I realized that I had a lot more to learn about journalism than
Rachel Garcia
Editor-inChief As the year comes to an end I find myself recounting all of the things Journalism has consisted of, and I can’t help but smile and feel sad about leaving this amazing class. I joined Journalism beginning my Junior year and I learned quickly that it was like no other class here at Wilson and that it was going to have a major impact on my life here as a student. Besides the fact that Ms. Combs is the chillest teacher ever, I had my own freedom in this class and could do as I pleased or work on whatever story I wanted to for however long it took to complete--within deadline. I got to work with and meet these amazing people and create something creative and lasting, and I was forced to become involved in school activities and really be a part of some-
I expected. After the first issue was published, I decided that I wanted to become a page editor because I was interested in learning about how to design the newspaper pages. It was a lot of work to write articles while simultaneously learning how to design the pages using Adobe InDesign, but it was all worth it. It felt amazing to know that I was contributing more to the finished product of the newspaper, and I knew that gaining professional experience early on would help me in the field later on. In my senior year, I became co-Editor-in-Chief of the Loudspeaker. As an Editor-in-Chief, it has been my job to assign stories, check on reporters as they write their articles, and assist in the layout for each paper. This experience has taught me a lot about being a leader, working as a team, and having professional responsibilities. I am thankful for having an amazing team of journalists to work with, my fellow editors, and most importantly, Ms. Combs for her guidance and support. My experience being on the Loudspeaker has shaped me both as a journalist and a person, and I couldn’t be more grateful for these last two years. thing special. I’ve met so many cool people along the way and learned a lot about the faculty, staff, and teachers here as well; this class really helped introduce me into some aspect of being an adult and working as a team with others and managing my responsibilities on my own time. I have a special kind of love for Journalism now and it’s all thanks to this class; I know it is going to help me with my career and the many years of college that are in store for me in the future. Over these past two years I’ve watched myself develop and grow as a writer and expand my perspective and how I perceive certain things; I cannot believe it’s all over and I’m never going to help produce another paper again; it’s heartbreaking. So I would like to say thank you to Ms. Combs, the reporters in this class, and my fellow editors: Kameron, Windsor, Chloe, Amber, and Adai; thank you all for another wonderful year full of learning, working together, and having a good time. Cheers :)

Goodbye Wilson High Acquire life skills CATHERINE FUENTES Reporter
You hear about all the wonders of senior year your entire life, and before you know it, it’s all over. Every year here at Wilson was a different adventure for me and made me the person I am today. I will never forget the nervous feeling on that first day on high school, and I will never forget how nervous I felt to finish high school. Wilson has offered me so much these past four years and every experience I have had on this journey has truly made my high school years memorable. Throughout the years, Wilson has taught me two very important things: 1. It is okay to not be sure of your path 2. Don’t be afraid to let loose and explore to find your path. With all the different courses here at Wilson I was able to discover many passions of mine, I had the ability to try new things to find what I really wanted to do. I believe that Wilson truly does have a place for everyone here. Who knew
that taking drama would bring out the Hollywood star in me, or that I would want to become a movie director thanks to the contemporary video class. I always felt like a creative individual, and the electives I took definitely sparked those interest into a passion. One thing that never left my side was dance. Throughout all of high school, dance was there and doing those shows every year will be a memory I won’t ever let go of. A long with all the other excellent electives I’ve taken, Journalism is amongst my favorite. The act of feeling like a real reporter made me feel so awesome. I will always cherish the feeling of taking out my journal at the events I covered and taking notes with my pen, or taking photos on my camera. I wish I could’ve done more with this growing love for journalism of mine before the senioritis kicked in, because writing gives me a special feeling. Working as a team on the newspaper also was a humbling feeling because we all worked together to share information and
awareness to the school with our words. Now I could sugarcoat it and tell you all the amazing things about high school and leave out the negative, but I’m not gonna do that. High school can come with lots of challenges such as bullying, stress, insecurities, etc. However, with all the struggles come lessons learned. Every single experience, bad or good, shapes you to be who you are and makes you only more knowledgeable and stronger. It is going to be such a bittersweet goodbye, but to be completely honest, I will never fully say goodbye because Wilson will always be part of who I am and who I will become. I am so thankful for every course I took, every teacher I’ve never met, especially those who didn’t give up on me when I was giving up on their class. I will never forget this place. What I would take from my time here at Wilson is to never lose sight of my dream, stay true to myself, and to remember, dreams come true.
Bidding a farewell to all Chloe Knopf
Features Editor As a senior at Wilson, I am so excited for my future prospects, but I cannot dismiss my feelings of sadness and melancholy as I prepare to leave behind my school, my friends, and my journalism class. Since I joined the school newspaper as a junior, I was instantly relieved to have found a place of belonging at this very large school. Being a part of the school newspaper has influenced me greatly, from my writing, my vocabulary, and my new found interest in the field of journalism and writing. Since joining the newspaper, my aspirations have completely turned around,
and I thank the Loudspeaker team, as well as Mrs. Combs, for completely changing my life. Being in Ms. Combs’s journalism class has completely changed my perspective on writing, as I now realize this is something I would like to, and can do, as a career. As a junior, I was able to witness my classmates in an instructive position, where they were able to have real responsibility as editors of the paper. With this in mind, I was eager to continue my role in the publication of Loudspeaker as a senior. Serving under Editors-in-chief Rachel and Amber, I was able to find my place as a Features Editor. Here, I have been able to write articles and help others to improve their writing skills. As an editor, I have realized I have a passion for writing as well as teaching. Revelations like these are not hard

to come by in this specific class because it is rare that students are given the opportunity to have free creative control over their work. Being able to choose the topics for my articles and truly dig in to my interests has given me a new level of respect for people who have chosen to be a journalist as their career. Being able to write everyday is something most students do not get to experience, and although this may not seem ideal for some, those who have experienced the benefits of it, especially in this class, know just how enjoyable it can be. Spending my time writing and reading, and learning from Ms. Combs has been a lovely and enlightening experience, and it is something I am going to miss incredibly when I move on to the next stage of my life.

ALESSANDRA TREJO Reporter
As our seniors prepare for graduation, a concern arises: are we ready to be on our own? Here are just a few things that we can begin teaching to our students to ensure that they are ready for life after high school. Budgeting and Insurance A great thing to learn about is budgeting and insurance. Some of us may or may not go to college but working a part or full time job may be necessary for many of us. We need to teach our students how to spend money wisely and save for the future. Students will also need to know about insurance, such as the four important things to get insurance on: their possessions, their life, their health, and their finances. Student Loans, Credit Loans, and Credit Information When we graduate high school, we will be bombarded by student loans and credit information. Teachers and advisors can educate students about student and credit loans and how they can affect them later on, and how they can pay it off faster. Teaching them about keeping up with their credit score is important too. Car Shopping Car salesmen are notorious for tricking young people into long loans at high interest rates. Doing your research and offering a class in loans and interest rates can help students to make the right decisions when it comes to purchasing their first car. Time Management Staying organized as an adult will be hard as work, school, and keeping up with our personal lives will be become chaotic. By teaching this skill we can lower the overall stress of young adults coming out of high school. Cooking and Meal Prepping With meal prepping we can save time and energy while being healthy at the same time. Providing a this class could provide students information about meal prepping for the week, and recipes that are easy to follow. ADVERTISING - Except as clearly implied by the advertising party or otherwise specifically stated, advertisements in the Loudspeaker are inserted by commercial activities or ventures identified in the advertisements themselves and not by Wilson High School. Advertisements printed in the Loudspeaker are not to be constructed as a written or implied sponsorship, endorsement, or investigation of their respective commercial sponsors or ventures. SOCIAL MEDIA - Keep up with Bruin news, activities, and athletics on social media, with:
@woodyatlbwilson on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
Survival Skills Educating our students on how we must always have a first aid kit to be safe at all times, could help them in the long run. While this skill may or may not be used, it is still important, as new members of society, to be ready at anytime and for any crisis. First Aid Kits While having a first aid kit is important, having a plan for emergencies should also be required. Wherever we end up, we have to be prepared for any weather disasters that can occur. Having an emergency plan is important, and should include on materials needed to be safe, and where to leave if a serious weather disaster occurs. Taxes Some of us will begin to work after high school, and filing our taxes may confuse us, such as completing a W-2 tax form. With a tax workshop we’ll give our students a head start, giving them tips and information so that they won’t be making any mistakes when doing their taxes. Local Government Providing detailed information about the local government will be beneficial when it’s time to vote, giving insight to who’s running for a leadership role, and who is better for that role. This workshop could have the next generation to participate in voting more, even may bring up our national average of voting participates. With all being said, instilling these classes should be a civil duty in prepping the next generation to be successful. Instead of leaving the new generation to figure things out for themselves and risk making a ton of mistakes, older generations could shed some light to help and prevent them from making any unnecessary mistakes. Providing these classes as a summer enrichment course could be beneficial especially for rising seniors, as they move on to be more independent. These classes could provide students with an advantage in understanding how to be independent.
LETTERS POLICY Letters to the editorials are welcome and will be published as space allows. Letters must be signed, although the staff may withhold the name on request. Opinions in letters are not necessarily those of the staff, nor should any opinion expressed in public forum be constructed as the opinion or policy of the administration, unless so attributed. These letters could and should be anywhere from comments on the page; to how we are doing; to what you would like to hear, or opinions on different subjects. We will accept letters at the Loudspeaker office in room 410.

STAFF EDITORIAL
The Loudspeaker legacy may be in jeopardy It’s no secret that the press has been under attack in America for last few years. In 2018, shortly after mail bomb attacks on politicians and the media, President Donald Trump called the press the “True Enemy of the People.” While we completely disagree with the president’s choice of words, we understand the public’s concern. The major American television news networks have evolved over the last 20 years from legitimate sources of news to soapboxes for left-leaning or
EDWIN EMERY 1931 Loudspeaker Editor, writer of journalism textbooks, and great uncle to Ms. Combs
right-leaning pundits. Few, truly unbiased, truly news-based networks exist. American televised news has been playing a ratings game, and as time goes on it is getting worse and worse. But fortunately, we still have newspapers. Newspapers are one of the few places where news is still separated from opinion and trained professionals still run the show. Newspapers still follow protocols for selecting stories based not only on human interest, but on your need to know. Newspapers are still the watchdog of politics, governments, and businesses. They investigate where the money comes from, where it goes, and how decisions are made along the way. Newspapers are still the voice of the people--the place you should go when you want to share a good deed or examine a poor one. And at Wilson, our newspaper is a tradition that dates back to the beginning of our school nearly 100 years ago. The Loudspeaker was produced through
the Great Depression, through world wars, and through many recessions. Even during the most recent economic downturn when LBUSD cut funding to multiple programs, The Loudspeaker continued to produce its monthly paper. And hopefully, it will continue to be produced so long as we value its importance. But what else is important about our newspaper? Few people realize that the production of a newspaper involves much more than writing. After an initial training in the genres of journalistic writing, students begin to specialize. Some students gravitate towards design, learning how to use real world professional software like Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. Others gravitate towards management, copy editing, photography and advertising. In fact, few electives provide students with a real world work environment like journalism does. With Wilson’s recent emphasis on college and career pathways, it fits perfectly into our Arts and Media. The Loudspeaker’s importance
is also reflected in its graduates. It has been the training ground for many professional journalists. For example, the class of 1931’s Loudspeaker Editor, Edwin Emery, went on to become a renowned journalist and writer of textbooks on the subject. More recently, last year’s editor, Sarah Patton, found her passion in design and layout and is currently studying communications at UCSB. And current Editor, Amber Eusebio, hopes to build a career in fashion journalism, majoring in it at Ohio University this fall. Recently, due to scheduling constraints The Loudspeaker staff members were told its future is in limbo. The latest news (as of press time) is that we may have to reduce our class number from our current 25 applicants to just five students who will produce the newspaper in the background of another class. While we understand the constraints of the master schedule, we find this solution a difficult pill to swallow. After years of struggling to attract applicants, interest in
FEATURE
the newspaper is on the upswing and it’s a shame to knock it back down again when a thorough understanding of its importance is sorely needed right now. However, as we head towards uncertainty, our staff members want to make it clear to all that we will continue to dedicate ourselves to the worthy cause that is journalism. We’ve gravitated towards this program through passion, and we will continue to pursue this interest with passion.

X-Men and Z-Girls tradition prevails at Wilson ADAI VIDAL Page Editor
Wilson was once well known for its “classical” title, and while the school was first opened in 1926, it celebrates Bruin pride through many traditions that remain on campus today. One of these traditions include selecting the 25 most involved girls in the junior class and preparing them to become Z-girls. The application process consists of counselor and principal recommendations, as well as a listing all of your extracurricular activities performed in 9th, 10th, and 11th grade. The same process applies to the X-Men who consist of the 25 most involved guys at Wilson. And as our school becomes older, so does the knowledge of the X-Men and Z-girls. Many students ask themselves, “What are Z-girls?” or “What’s an X-men?” The tradition that once thrived at our school has now slowly faded in the crowd. Juliana Kissinger, a current Zygoma, thinks otherwise, “I think Z-girls traditions remain. We all enjoy doing what we do as we engage in community service traditions such as baking cookies for Wilson’s student athletes.” Kissinger also says that she found out about the organization through her group of friends who encouraged her to turn in an application. Progressively, she was selected as a little Z and became treasurer of the Z-girls her senior year. Other activities that the
Z-girls enjoy are community service events both inside and outside of school. Zygomas meet every Tuesday at lunch to discuss future events and baking assignments for Friday rallies. More Z-Girl traditions include an annual holiday party with the X-men, and an end of the year scrapbook compiled with memories. According to Kissinger, “The biggest Z-girls traditions are definitely wearing the Z-girls shirts around campus and passing them along to your little Z the following year, as well as an annual basket exchange.” As of April 20, the 25 senior girls will enter a process where they will choose the new 25 Zygomas. Being a Z-girl takes more than just baking skills, a Zygoma is hard working and determined. The club is selective which is why being a Z-girl at Wilson is a great title to have. The year is closer to an end which means that the current Z-girls are now off to college and they have also selected their little Z’s as of May 17. Another tradition that the Z-girls and X-men have is performing at the blackout rally as a way to reveal the junior guys and girls who will become the new Axios and Zygomas. Although the student body may not know of the two groups very much, it looks like the X-Men and Z-girls have recruited a large group of juniors who are thrilled about becoming the next generation.

Decision Day celebrates seniors ALEXANDRO AGUILAR Reporter
Seniors are nearing their last days at Wilson High School and getting closer to graduation. Towards the end of the school year, seniors gathered in the gym for Decision Day. Decision Day is a day where seniors get pumped up for college. They can indulge in all the free snacks and prizes that were provided by the sponsors by playing games like bottle ring toss and spin the wheel. Plenty of Bruins are going to some great colleges next year. Mr. Moraga gave a speech to all the students to inspire them to achieve greatness. Afterward, they held raffles with prizes that are essential to dorm rooms like a Keurig Coffee Makers, microwaves, tablets. and a small TV.
Max Rowland, who was accepted to Cal Poly Pomona, said it wasn’t his original choice of school but he saw the science opportunities available at Cal Poly and he was satisfied. He plans on majoring in Chemical Engineering for a Bachelor’s degree. Senior, Claire Davis, who plans to attend the University of Oregon said she wanted to thank her Wilson teachers. “Mr. Arzate made me realize that there are people that are passionate about their job of teaching and that women are the future,” she said. “I also want to thank Ms. Combs for making me realize how important it is to get your work done on time or you will be stressing to do it and eventually you will face her wrath.” Davis plans on majoring in International Relations in Sports Business.

Seniors make athletic commitments
JOSEANTONIO GARCIA Reporter
As the curtains fall on the 2018-19 school year, Wilson High School continues to churn out athletes that are ready to play at a higher level. The range of schools that come in for these athletes are impressive, from Long Beach City College (LBCC) to across the country in Connecticut College, and it shows how highly colleges from around the country value Wilson. The class of 2019 student athletes consisted of 19 students, 10 of which represented different sports played here at Wilson. The sports that contained the most students were Boys Soccer, and after their impressive feats last year it is not surprising. Hopefully by sending off these exceptional student-athletes, it inspires the next batch of up and comers to excel like their predecessors.
Congratulations to the following senior athletes: Andrew Mathison: Men’s Crew @ University of Washington

VALEDICTORIANS from page 1 major in Kinesiology. Although clearly focused on the future, at Wilson he proudly shares that he’s a member of ASB, Link Crew, and other various clubs and volunteer opportunities. But with the success comes some tribulations. “The biggest challenge I had to overcome in high school was focusing. I am easily prone to distractions, but it had helped me because it taught me to understand that I need to work harder and find ways to avoid distractions,” Monh recalls as he reflects on the last four years. Like some of the other valedictorians, Monh has also had to sacrifice his beloved sleep schedule and leisure time, mostly to keep up with the workload. It’s pretty evident that this hard work has paid off. Last and certainly not least is Drew Buchanan. The hardworking senior is the definition of academic sacrifice and perseverance. Additionally, he is the photo editor of yearbook, the president of P.R.I.D.E club, and the president of NHS/CSF. While most students would spend their summer days soaking in the sun, Buchanan spent countless hours in LBCC classrooms separating himself from the majority. He recounts that AP English Literature was extremely difficult, almost smothering any potential for a 4.0, but he was fortunately able to outlast the essays. “Also having to complete college applications and keep your grades up is almost nearly impossible, from October to January I didn’t see my friends or family for days at a time. I just wrote essays and emailed my college counselor constantly,” Buchanan recalls regarding the few weeks of winter and fall he spent feverishly putting together college admissions. With this, Buchanan hopes to attend UCSB, UCI, or Cal Poly SLO, majoring in sociology with a focus in criminology. Today’s students make tomorrow’s future. This statement is especially true with the valedictorians seen in the class of 2019. They will continue to transform yet another campus next year as they move to the college of their choice and continue their education. From one Bruin to the next, we offer a big congratulations to the valedictorians and a sincere “good luck” to all the graduating seniors! Congratulations to all the valedictorians!
