That Make A
Written by: Kayla Metcalf, Erica Heine, and Kelsey Merritt
Friendships may be the biggest things in our high school lives. They are an op-
portunity to meet new peers, find out who you really are, and what you may want to become in the future. When you come into high school with your best friends, often
times they won’t be there by your side when it comes to figuring out who will be in your senior prom group or asking if your outfit looks good on you. Through the roller coaster of high school, you will come to find the friendships that are built to last, and the ones that were bound to fade away. No matter the outcome, you will remember these friendships forever. You may not notice those outside of your circle, but have you ever thought that they could end up being one of your close friends, apart from your circle? Many of your peers may look at you and know who you are, but do you look at them knowing who they are? “I often had the chance to get to know other peers in my senior class when it came to activities or in classes where I had the opportunity to work with others. In the end, I was very grateful for that,” said teacher Tori Maehara. When you look back at high school 10 years from now and look through your senior yearbook you may regret not getting to know that quiet kid sitting in the back of your math class. “I didn’t know really anyone when I came here,” said Dea’Naisa Willingham (12). “I remember my first day getting invited to lunch by Timothy Blanchard (11) and we just started talking and getting to know each other. Then we both ended up joining the BSU (Black Student Union Club) which kept us close friends and gave us the opportunity to meet more people with the same interests.” Many of students here at GHS may feel that there are cliques and those who are stuck on the outside may not get acknowledged as much. “I feel that certain people who have a lot friends and are well known, tend to only be focused on by the people inside of their circle. Those are the students that we don’t often see taking the time to get to know the ones on the outside,” said Christina Wohlers (12). Many of us wonder if you can’t, won’t, or just don’t care to take the time to do this now, how are you going to foster new friendships once you’re out in the real world or off to college, when you don’t have these group of friends around you? If you take just one second out of your time to introduce yourself to that quiet kid in the back of your class, you may just make him feel like he matters. You may not realize it, but it’s the little things such as saying hi to one of your peers, that can really make a difference in someone’s life. It could open all of our eyes to realize that we are all in this together.

Looking like a FREAK... in public... for fun? What? By Taylor Richardson
As you walk into the first football game of your high school career
a sense of uneasiness takes over. You enter the gates and upperclassmen pass you by, only they aren’t dressed like you. Crazy hair, face paint, and completely decked out in blue and white from head to toe. You panic slightly, you think to yourself, “Was I supposed to dress like that? What the heck are they wearing!?” You consider following the senior in front of you to the superfan section but then chicken out and retreat back to the freshman/middle school area at the end of the track.
“I just stand on the track and talk to my friends. I wear my
regular school clothes, I would never dress like those crazy seniors!” said Amber Cole (9). As a sophomore you know what to expect. You have bought your superfan shirt and are wearing it with jeans. This year you have secured a spot four or five rows back in the superfan section. Throughout the game you occasionally cheer whenever a touchdown is scored and feel a little flustered when a few seniors look back at you. “I repped the sophomores in my superfan shirt, and I was in like the fourth row of the superfan section. I wasn’t that intimidated by the upperclassmen, but only cause I knew most of them,” explained Michael Farrer (10). Now that you’re an upperclassmen, you’re entitled to some new territory but you are always careful because you care a lot about what people think of you. As a junior you’re welcome to sit in the first three rows of the superfan section. Girls now have the guts to request a varsity players jersey to wear at the game, this outfit is often paired with a cute ribbon and war paint. Guys on the other hand, can now be seen sporting crazy face paint and hair dye. Yelling becomes a constant thing and an occasional touchdown dance is appropriate as well. “I’m a superfan because I support all the teams, not just football. At the football games though, I sit like 3 rows up and rep the superfan shirt,” said Skyler Mofford (11). Senior year. You have no fear, you don’t care what anyone thinks about you or how you dress. With that new mentality, you become an ultimate superfan. The first row of the bleachers becomes your territory. You are yelling all the time, being silly and dancing to the band, standing
high socks, face paint, war paint, crazy hair and ribbons, superfan shirts, and Mardi gras beads. “I would definitely consider myself a superfan, every week I go to the games and I’m so into it. I dress up and am there to support!” exclaimed Thea Oswald (12). Every game you are cheering as loud as you can while vying to be superfan of the week. The ones that made the cut and were announced on Mondays following football games as the Superfan of the Week. Each student goes through this unofficial journey of becoming a superfan but Activities Director Bill Chisolm put it best when he explained what a Gresham superfan is. “Superfans are outrageous, outlandish, outgoing, out of control students that support other students in all they do,” declared Chisolm.

Timmy, Jordan, and Hos taught me everything I needed to know about being a true gopher superfan” Said Joseph Constein (10) Jonathon Treloggen (10) and Michael Nunziato (11) sitting front row at Gresham’s home basketball game cheering on the team. “I always get really into the assemblies and basketball games, it’s good to show your school spirite,” announced Treloggen.

What goes on inside the locker room at half time can determine wheter you win or lose on the field... stated Assistant Coach Chris Koenig. We are up 27-0 against Hood River, so clearly the team has kept this in mind. They all rush into the locker room while giving high fives to one another. Smiling from ear to ear, everyone makes their way back to the team room, grabbing a mini Gatorade along the way. A stench fills the air as the boys pile into the locker room. It must be the smell of victory. They look tired but thrilled about the first half. After every player has managed to make their way into the tiny room they all begin to talk, yell, and scream about what went on in the first half. Some of their cheers leak out to the outside crowd but are unheard because of students and superfans cheering for their class floats. Homecoming half time is the main reason most of the crowd is attending this game but to everyone in the locker room, floats, crowning, and results are second in mind. Football is what is happening. Talk of plays and a potential win is the main idea today. “We set yearly goals and remind the boys of them week by week,” explained Coach Todd Nagel. Winning this game is just one step closer to the ultimate goal of Mt. Hood Conference Champions. Each guy listens in anxiety. They are ready to be back on the field to finish the game with a bang!

We deserved to win and show everyone that we could do a lot more than they thought,” said Kolton Meigs (12).

This year’s fall production, “Fiddler on the Roof”, had a crew of 107 people. 60 of which are not in the cast and therefore you would never see, unless you were able to catch a glimpse of them while sitting in the dark, with they are wearing all black. But without this group of uncredited students, the show would never be able to go on. It takes all the departments of the crew, to produce one musical.
SETS Besides from the obvious task of constructing the sets themselves, this department must also organize the movement of the large set pieces. “We choreograph the sets during the scene changes,” explained set manager David Varcoe (12). That means every time the lights go down and the only thing the audience can see happening is the pit orchestra playing, the set crew is running around on stage in the dark, trying to turn the stage from a tavern into a village in the shortest amount of time possible. Before each performance the set crew also has a few more jobs. “We sweep the stage so the actors don’t kill themselves, and make sure everything is securely down,” said Varcoe. A new crew of people this year that help alongside the set crew is Project crew. “Project crew is just a few people Dempsey appoints and we do very specific set pieces,” said Lisa Sturges (12). Such things as the trees and the tomb stones, and all the fences and vines surrounding the pit orchestra were taken care of by this crew. It can be these little things that people wouldn’t think about that really make the difference. “We really work hard and make sure the show works ‘cause without us it really wouldn’t work,” said Varcoe. PROPS “Basically we buy, make, or borrow all of the props that we use in the show. That’s anything an actor carries on stage. Usually at the
beginning of a show we develop a list of all the props we need, and we spend every Saturday finding or making those props,” said Laney Strand (12), prop manager, or as some call her, the prop mistress, “During shows we are backstage and we make sure that all the actors go on with their props.” In “Fiddler on the Roof”, Props had to take care of everything from the women’s baskets, to the men’s shot glasses. To create something for the Russian village of Anatevka is harder than you may think. “You may need a tin cup but it has to fit 1905 Russia,” explains Strand. It is all these little touches the prop crew takes care of that makes the audience think they are really watching people living in a different time and place. LIGHTS/SOUND Without this department, you wouldn’t be able to see or hear anything that was happening on stage. It is the job of this crew to make sure the main actors have working microphones and that the correct lights turn on and off at the right times. There is a long check list the crew has to go through before each show, to make sure this all happens. “We go through all the mics and make sure all the mics work and that they all sound correctly and nothing has been messed up. For lights we go through all the cues and make sure that none of the lights have suddenly stopped working, because we’ve had that happen,” said Emily Dodge (12), the lights and sound manager. Even after all this time committed, she still says she loves it. “I’m a true techy at heart,” Dodge said. Another member of the lights and sound crew also doesn’t mind the dedication. “Its the best, because we’re the coolest, and we’re in the ceiling,” said Leslie Capps (11) referring to the catwalk, which few people are allowed to access.

PUBLICITY The whole production of “Fiddler on the Roof” would have been a waste if people hadn’t come to see it, and getting people to come is the job of the publicity crew. “You get things ready to send out to other schools like posters and fliers and you put them in envelopes and you send them out to other schools to publicize,” explains Bryana Stockwell (11). She is publicity manager along with Kassandra Hadock (11), “And then also we have the publicity run that we organize.” The publicity run is when a lot of parents volunteer by bringing their cars and driving about 3 kids each around Gresham to go to businesses to hang posters and hand out fliers. Stockwell thinks that is the best part of publicity. “Usually the kids will tell the parents that they want coffee or something and the parents take them to go get coffee and its just really nice, and you get to talk to parents that you’ve never really met that you’d never really think about talking to, and they’re so much fun,” said Stockwell. MAKE-UP Turning a teenage boy into an aging father is no easy task, but that is exactly what the make-up crew is all about. They are the ones that prepare the entire cast every night before shows, which can take up to 2 hours. Plus they need to gather all the materials they will need for each individual production. “We basically take inventory first and figure out what make-up we have, and what we’re going to need the show,” explains Ryan Kelly (11), the make-up manager. They take care of getting everything from eyeliner to bush, and then applying it to the cast. “Its a lot of fun because you get to get close to the actors and get to interact with them,” Kelly said. For this year’s musical, the make-up crew had to do normal stage make-up and then add aging lines and wrinkles and many fake beards. Their technique for applying beards was simply with a lot of spirit gum. Spirit gum is an adhesive, glue-
like substance that theatres commonly use for attaching things to actors such as fake noses, ears, or in this case, beards. “It’s not a fun thing but it helps a lot,” said Kelly. COSTUMES This department consists of only a few students who report to two volenteer women that design and make every piece of every costume. “It was really cool to oversee what the costume mom’s were making and doing. It was a really fun job,” said Dianna Alarcon (10). Annette Durhime is the assistant costume designer, and has benn since 2002. “Once we find out what the play is going to be, we picture how it’s going to look and we work with the set people to get a color palette,” Durhime explains. The setting for Fiddler on the Roof is long ago in Russia, in a very poor town. The original clothes would have been very drab and boring, but the costume designers decided to make it more like musical theatre, using colors that would match Russian or Ukrainian pallettes like purples and reds. The costume department coordinated with the set department to make sure the same colors appeared in both places, but that didn’t always work very well. “It was pretty funny, we were close to dress rehersal and we see Aaron Lyski up there who played Motel. His vest was the exact same color as his little taylor shop! We had to find him some more fabric and make him another costume because otherwise he would have been camoflauged,” laughed Durhime. There are a lot of little challenges like that. “We had to find shoes for people like Aaron Katzke who’s a size 16. We never did find him a pair of shoes. He ended up wearing tennis shoes but nobody noticed!” remembered Durhime. With 107 cast members all needing full costumes, and sometimes multiple costumes for different scenes, the Gresham High School drama department is lucky to have such dedicated helpers. “I love everything about it,” said Durhime, “If I had to pick one thing, its the kids. Its really why I do what I do.” FALL MUSICAL | STUDENT LIFE

Written by: Laura Phillips, Monica Kemp, and Hanna Phillips
cough cough DO YOU HAVE SWINE?!?
The pandemic sickness that circulated the masses at the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year was scientifically classified as the H1N1 influenza, but was more commonly called swine flu. As students sat in their classes they heard whispering
and rumors of the cases of swine flu that have impacted their
classmates. Hand sanitizer became used everywhere, and some
people even wiped down their desks with sanitary wipes before using them.
“People are really freaking out about this whole thing for no
reason,” said Harpriya Samra (11).
Swine influenza is a virus that is usually found in pigs. The
virus occasionally changes and becomes infectious to humans.
When this happens, the disease can become a concern to people
who have little or no immunity against it. Preexisting conditions such as asthma, COPD, diabetes, and heart disease can make the illness fatal to some patients. The virus also spreads quickly from
person to person through contact or close proximity with an infect-
ed person. It also is more difficult to treat than the usual seasonal human flu viruses.
The H1N1 influenza hit the U.S. in April of 2009, but it
wasn’t until June 11th that the outbreak was declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization. At that time, nearly 70
countries had confirmed cases. Over the next few months, that number doubled. The U.S. declared the highest number of re-
ported patients with swine flu of any nation and less then a month
after if was first detected in the county it was announced that all 50 states had at least one confirmed case. The outbreak was de-
termined a public health crisis. From April 2009 to January 2010 it was estimated that there were 41 million to 84 million cases and 8,330 to 17,160 deaths in the U.S. alone.
Inevitably, the whole school was sucked into the swine flu
mania. Walking down the halls, one could hear several people talk-
“Automatically, if you cough or if you miss a day of
school, people assume that you have the Swine,” stated Endy Vasquez (10).
Some students were very worried about the illness, while
other students were not. Hoa Dau (12) shares his thoughts on the matter.
“I’m a little scared about the whole thing, and I’m going
to try and get the shot in November,” Dau said.
Along with the annual seasonal influenza vaccination an
H1N1 vaccine was manufactured. It was recommended that ev-
eryone receive it but due to the sudden nature of the outbreak, not enough was made in time for that. Shot clinics had to turn some people away so that the people at high risk for being hospitalized could be vaccinated first.
Other students, such as Jon Kratz (10), were not worried
about it at all.
“Its just the flu, and besides I’m like Superman so it
doesn’t affect me,” Kratz said.
The fact of the matter is that in just weeks we watched
H1N1 spread quickly from the very first U.S. case in Minnesota
to right here in Gresham High School. It did become scary as
we saw the virus creep toward us from the other side of the
country. When we all heard of that girl in Grants Pass who got it, we all know we got a little paranoid. Schools started to
close and stores were selling anti-bacterial like crazy. Quickly, many of us observed our teachers, class mates, and maybe even
our best friends catch the swine scare. But just as quickly we
watched the influenza fade. The mad dashes to the doctor to wait for hours to get the vaccine stopped and the reports on
the news every night updating us became something we saw
only once a week, and then once a month, and then not at all. Slowly, the swine flu became less of an epidemic and more of just a fun story.

Superhero CONTEST EXPOSES Serious Villains
Every year the homecoming assembly is super sweet while they introduce the new homecoming court. This year the ‘super’ court was put through a series of challenges to prove who was the best superhero. The court was to jump over buildings made of boxes and run through a group of attacking villains, before they could tackle the main villain dummy at the end. The attacking villains were Justin Potter (12), Brannon Dooley (12), Nick Moore (12), and Westly Meng (12). They were to use football blocking pads to make it difficult for the ‘super court’ to tackle the villain dummy at the end of the gym. Although they were supposed to make it rough, some may say they took it way too far. “I may have hit the girls a little too hard. I feel bad that I hurt them,” reasoned Dooley, “I was just in the moment and didn’t realize how hard I was hitting.” As the girls ran through the block they were mercilessly knocked back or even to the ground. “I was almost through, just about to make it to the end, when Dooley smacked me as hard as he could out of know where,’ said Erica Heine (12), “I was completely dazed. It hurt really bad. I even thought my nose was broken.” Right behind her ran another court nominee Kennan Vieira (12) who did get a bloody nose. “The girls got hit so much harder than the boys, but I didn’t want people to know how much it hurt,” explained Vieira. While the court didn’t think the bash was funny, the crowd was louder than ever. “I thought it was really funny, actually fricken hillarious,” laughed Victor Sastre (12). Although there were a few bloody noses and angry superheros the court made it out alive. Just in time to be announced to the spectators. Homecoming could officially start after the game on Thursday night. By half time spirits were high with a score of 32-0, Gophers. Tahana Young, this year’s Grand Marshal kicked off the parade. The floats that followed were the best to be seen. The ‘Incredible’ freshman had a full blown erupting volcano, along with a cute freshman-like skit including all of the Incredibles’ crew, which earned them third place over the sophomores. The team in last place had a float representing Batman.

The big controversy was over the first and second place float winners. The seniors, who automatically assumed that they deserve first place, were outraged when the junior’s float took the gold. The dance that followed was built up to be the best ever. Over 600 tickets were sold. A large investment was made to put on the “lazer light” show, but most thought it was a bust. It required glasses that no one knew about. For those who did wear them, they missed out on the killer costumes worn by all the grades. Overall the dance was a success because of the amount of student participation. There was more dressing up than ever and the sheer number of people who attended proved that the involvement of students at Gresham High School is what makes the dances so much fun.

Nicole Haskins (9) and Hannah Kim (9) entertained the croud as part of the Freshman class. “Even though we spent a lot of time working on everything and there was a lot of complaining, it all turned out for the best,” Haskins admitted. Gotham City Police Emma Bird (10) and Lindsey Frilot (10) dance it out with the Sophomore class’s Batman themed float. “We felt like we killed it with the jerk, so it was a little embarrasing when we lost,” Bird admitted. Waiting for the results, Power Brittany Erickson (11), Mary Keathley (11), and Carrie Blacksmith ( 11) were all part of the Junior scene. “It was a huge surprise when we found out we won,” Keathley said. Seniors, We Are Out of Here, Daniel Dempsey (12) closed the Seniors’ float with his expressive sign. “It was nice to be apart of senior year, being it’s my last year here at Gresham,” Dempsey exclaimed.

the hallways, is none other then what is widely known as bracelet
making, or to our older generations, hemp or macrame. Beginning in the 1960’s, macrame became a very popular craft and creative art in America and in Europe. At first it had been used to create lampshades, plant hangers, and even hammocks. Macrame was nothing more than the knotting of strings. Then, soon after, the idea of making bracelets hit the people, it took off. It became the new “thing”. Anyone who was anyone had a macrame bracelet. English teacher, Sarabeth Leitch was part of the
macrame mania.
“I was actually pretty good at it. So good I could even add
beads to it!” Leitch said.
time, with our inside jokes on them,” Brashear said. She has around 10-15 of her own bracelets and plans to make more.
“Its a way to connect and stay cool. I feel like I have a place in
the world... and my favorite one says Rock!” Brashear said.
Anastasia Popova (9) began making her own bracelets even
sooner. Two years ago, her mom bought a book on macrame and she has enjoyed making them ever since.
“People ask me about my bracelets all the time! They always
ask if I can make them one. I guess they’re pretty cool,” Popova said. Mary Keathley (11), agrees that these bracelets are pretty cool.
So, she also makes them often. Her sister actually taught her how to make them.
“Since then I’ve made several,” Keathley said. “People often
ask if she can make them one.”
Leitch commented that in her day, hemp, or macrame was

The “late pass” line exploded after the new 5 minute rule started. Some argued that the time waiting in line was longer that just being late by itself. “I was late one time!

An Array Of Emotions Carries Team Into The Placing Rounds of STATE TOURNAMENT After moving on from that win, the team faced Sheldon and lost in 4 games leaving them with a bittersweet 6th place. After the game, the girls huddled together outside the gym. Tears were shed as the realization of a finished high school career washed over the seniors, but their pride was stronger than ever. At that state tournament the girls played like they had never played before. Coach Anderson-Cook expressed how proud she was of how far this team had come. With that feeling of accomplishment, the team walked back onto the court to receive their 6th place trophy. All 14 girls walked hand in hand with their heads held high as they were given their prize. The season as a whole left the team with an array of emotions. There is nothing they can do to change what happened over the season, and the truth is, what happened over the season represents these girls perfectly and that is all they can ask for.

Some years, before the season starts, you just have a certain feeling. A feeling that a state title is in your reach. This year, the varsity volleyball team had that feeling. In pre-season meetings goosebumps would run along their arms when they talked about what they thought their team was capable of. Being state champions was their goal. But sometimes goals get blurred with other things and become unattainable. It’s possible that their outlook on what they were capable of changed and that the girls lost confidence. “Either way we lost games that were completely in our control,” explained Courtney Pattock (12), “We backed down from several challenges and decided not to come out when it truly counted in league.” Before they knew it, the gophers had 4 losses under their belt, two loses each to Central Catholic and Barlow. And not only were those losses bad for their record, they hurt the girls’ pride. The attitude of refusing to lose was becoming a rarity and some team members were becoming accustomed with losses. “I am a fiercely competitive person and this team was a little sensitive. When we don’t win there’s always one girl that says ‘we were close’, but close isn’t good enough,” Head Coach Lori Anderson-Cook said. Despite the few blows to their egos, the team still worked hard to get to their overall goal of a state championship. Several dramatic problems surfaced throughout the year and the girls were forced to deal with unhappy players and coaches. Team meetings became pleas for leadership and respect. “After the air was cleared it was just easier for us to play. We started playing all the way through the game and would start off strong and finish strong,” said Heather Ries (11). A match against Jesuit, one of the best teams in state, sparked the girls while at the Bend tournament. For the first time, they rose to the challenge and played more competitively that ever. “We penetrated while blocking against some of the best hitters in the state. We really wanted to win, and we hadn’t seen that from our team as a whole,” Olivia Shropshire (12) explained. From that point on, the girls found a way to move past all the hardships and just play. When they faced Jesuit again, the Gophers gave them a run for their money at the state tournament and finally found the guts to beat Barlow. The girls chose the perfect time to do that because that meant that the Bruins would be eliminated from the state tournament with 8th place and no trophy to show for it.

“There’s Only One Goal: WIN” Written by Lauryn Hartung and Lindsey Frilot
Running for the win is what it is all about for these cross country runners. It is not only about being physically able to run that far for that long, but it is also about being able to do it mentally. To go to practice everyday and try to run your best at every meet, your mind really has to be in the game. We all know that what they do is hard work, but how hard is it really? “Cross Country doesn’t seem very hard, but its harder than Football,” said Morgan Benson (10), “We have to do lots of strength and endurance workouts. Football may be a hard sport to play, but so is cross country.” “Our goal for each practice is to get the athletes to work as hard as they can and increase the ability to race harder,” explianed Coach Kylee Hutchins, “Every practice is just another chance to gain strength and really get ready to win a meet.” According to Assistant Coach Tim Collins, the toughest workout is Main City Park, also known as Pain City, and the hills at Clear Creek.

The team has to run 15 times up and down the hill, and it takes about 1 and 1/2 hours. Just like any other sport the team has goals and ways to bond. “I only have a goal for the whole boys varsity team, and that is to make it to the state competition which we have a rather good chance of doing,” said Michael Wilson (12). These boys stick together and work as a team even though you are always running on your own over the course of a race. “We have these things called spaghetti feeds where we all meet

up at a teammate’s house and have spaghetti and hang out,” continued Wilson. This was the team’s way of bonding and really getting ready to win a meet the following day. Cross Country is about being physically fit to run, but it is also about the mental part of it. You need to be mentally tough to push yourself to the limit, especially when you’re tired and start losing hope. So, whether you help your teammates by bonding or working hard at practice, there’s only one goal: WIN.

MENTALITY
VS PHYSICALITY By: Lauryn Hartung and Lindsey Frilot
Bonded team overcomes physical pain with mental toughness to another successful season. The finish line is the main goal. Just keeping focus on that is only half of the
mentality. Keeping your body going and adjusting your breathing is the other half. For these runners, cross country is all about being mentally though. “It’s a different kind of physical pain. Football players have a burst of pain, un-
like cross country runners who have to sustain it for a long period of time,” explained Coach Kylee Hutchins. The girls were always together. They practiced together,they bonded together and they never left anyone behind. This year the team was all about teamwork and what they could do when they put their minds to it. “My fastest time this season is 20:11 at Nike Pre Nationals. I am hoping to beat that by the end of the season though,” said Marisa Benson (12). Keeping positive was key to a good season, and with the mentality of a strong leader like Marisa Benson the team could be lead to victory. “We all go to spaghetti feeds before our meet the next day as a whole team. But us girls bond by hanging out and tie-dying and puff painting all of our clothes. Activities like these really get us closer as a team, which can make us stronger,” said Sadie Wierschke (10). Teamwork and support was what kept the girls motivated to try their hardest. With the help of each other they could accomplish any goals that they set their minds

From Differing to Relating Written by: Katie Sewall
In the past, Gresham High School has had a yearly diversity assembly. This year, we had a multicultural assembly. When you change the words you change the meaning. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, diversity means to be different or unlike, and multicultural means to relate or adapt to diverse cultures. We reviewed again this year the many ethnicity we have walking our halls. Dea’Naisa and David Willingham sang the Black National
Anthem by James Weldon Johnson, while the lyrics were projected for everyone to see. Then the Portland Trail Breakers performed their break-dancing show for the excited crowd of students. “I just think they were awesome,” said Joseph Constien (10). “I was going to go because I was looking forward to the Breakers.” The Gresham Overtones performed twice before the assembly was over. Once singing “The Earth Song” by Michael Jackson and then again when only the girls sang “Mamma Who Bore Me” from the musical “Spring Awakening.” The largest event in the assembly was the fashion show, incorporating clothes from other countries.
Mamma! With the girls in Concert Choir, Nche Onyima (12) sang a solo in the song “Mamma Who Bore Me”. “I felt like the song really went well, it fit perfectly with the theme of the assembly,” admitted Onyima. Katie Brashear (10) and Nche Onyima (12) are part of the fasion show, showing off a stylish Nigerian look. “We had a super fun time a the fashion show, we’ve been friends for ever so I decided to wear something Ify and Nche would wear back home,” laughed Brashear.
“I was looking for all the clothes, all the traditional clothes, from Mexico, especially because that’s where I come from,” said Jorge Zurita (12). “I got my clothes in a trip from Korea this summer,” said Colleen Bailey (12). “I was wearing a traditional dress called a hanbok.” “I like how in the fashion show, they told actually about what the background of the clothes were instead of just showing them,” said Haley Schaeffer (09). The Asian Pacific Islanders Club then performed a dance for the audience. The club is made up of Hmong, Mien, Thai, and Laos members, and therefore the dance included motions from all those cultures. “It was a combination of those dances. We did hand motion stuff and we figured out the choreography,” said Any Chao (12). No multicultural assembly is complete without the representation of Italy, Norway, and the Czech Republic through our exchange students. A game was prepared for them to play. It consisted
of answering questions about the U.S. and then popping balloons. Renaissance coordinated and hosted the assembly. Sarah McGregor, head of Renaissance, spoke several times between events. “I thought it went really well. Everything fit together perfectly and it was just good to see all the school come together and to see all the acts from different places around the world and how it just made us realize how close we all are even thought we’re different,” said McGregor. Gresham High School should be proud that while we once were simply differing from each other, we are now relating.

Urbanowicz leads the team in scoring while playing half the game as the goalie.
Written by: Alyssa Emoto
Though things did not always go their way this season, the girls varsity soccer team was determined to persevere. Their hard work paid off in rather unconventional ways. Their leading scorer was none other than their goalie, Erin Urbanowicz (11). “It’s really different playing up top,” said Urbanowicz, “I only played up there about a quarter of the time, but I really enjoyed the opportunity.” Some people would let something like being the leading scorer on their team and being nominated for 2nd Team Goalkeeper go to their head. However, Urbanowicz has kept a level head and will most likely continue to maintain this humble attitude. “Even though I scored the goals, it wasn’t all me,” claimed Urbanowic, “I had lots of help from my teammates.”
Making the most out of every 10 minutes When it comes to soccer, one might guess that someone who only gets ten minutes of playing time a game wouldn’t contribute all that much to their team. Generally this assumption would be accurate, but in the case of Kyleigh Jandro (9), the exact opposite is true. “Even though Kyleigh can only play about Out of my way, Reynolds opponent challenging Erin Urbanowicz (11) for the ball, getting physical and running into eachother, but it was no match for Urbanowicz as she kept the ball and dribbled towards the goal, scoring the win against the Raiders. “It was a good game, we all went out and played hard and came away with the win,” Urbanowicz said.
ten minutes because of a previous knee injury, every time she’s in, she scores. It’s remarkable,” said coach Kathy Childress. Despite this impressive feat, Jandro still wants to be able to do more for her team. “I just want to get out there and be with my team so I can score,” said Jandro, “It makes me frustrated that I’m limited to playing just ten minutes a game.” Jandro wants to be able to play more minutes in every game. Hopefully with time, her wish will come true. One can only imagine how many more goals she will score once she is given more than ten minutes a game to work with.

They play for the Love of the Game. Written by: Heather Ries
At the usual water polo game, the players jump in the water and line up. The whistle blows, and both teams shotgun to the ball. The ‘fast breakers’ who got to the ball first, fight for it. Every second of every game our boys are fighting to stay above water, while whistles chime constantly to reduce the fouls, although not many Gresham students are there to hear the whistles blow. The intensity of waterpolo is hard to match. A player on the opposing team is relentlessly on your back, trying to make staying

It’s really physically grueling and the strategy is what makes it fun also,” replied Johnny Dirksen (12) who has played water polo all of his four years at Gresham High School. The boys play because of the true essence of the sport. They don’t bask in the glory of having the entire school rally around them. They play hard for the sake of the game and each other. Although water polo players are truly playing for the game, this concept is slowly diminishing year by year. Losing seven seniors

REAL
GIRLS GET... In the past years there has been a lot of drama and conflict situations on the girls waterpolo team. This year is different. This year the girls got ‘Real’. Water polo is a very physical and mental sport. Unlike other sports, people don’t have to work to keep themselves above the surface, they don’t have to tread water to be able to keep breathing. In water polo, if the players are tired there is no stopping on a sideline to get a waterbreak. It’s just them, and all they have is their team to look to for support. “If we didn’t get along, we wouldn’t be able to work together and we would probably fight a lot,” said Dilynn D’Agostino (10), “It’d be bloody.” This year’s team is much smaller than usual for several reasons. The program almost got cut and freshman don’t usually hear about the sport until they reach high school by which time they are already involved in other sports and activities. Although the numbers are low, the team has worked hard in practices and they have all gotten along. “There is really good chemistry on the team, and there is no drama this year, so the team is on the verge of winning a lot more,” said assistant coach Sean Taylor. A definition of a leader is someone who rules, guides or inspires others. According to Jaimie Bartels (12) it is very important to have strong leaders on a team because it helps them excel as a team and in what they are doing. It also helps them have an understanding in the game. “Jaimie is a really good leader. She stands up for everyone against other teams and is responsible and an amazing player,” said D’Agostino.
Not only does the team consist of players who never put their heads down when they are losing a game, but they show excellence in everything they do. Not only does the team consist of good leaders, they alos never put their heads down when they are losing a game. “If we are down in a match, we don’t let it get to us,” said Sarah Triplett (10), “We don’t give up. Even afterwards we keep our spirits high and work harder in practice to do better next time.” “During practice we play like we are playing a game,” said Bartels. As a team, they have participated in activities together, like going to Wall Street Pizza or Red Robin after games, or tie dying sweatshirts together. According to D’Agostino they had a really fun car wash to raise money for the program, and that when they are together at practice they are a team with the best sportsmenship she has ever seen. “We are a team that doesn’t make fun of each other, and we do our best not to make anyone frustrated, and from what I have heard, this year is a great improvement from last year,” said Triplett.
Holding ground, Kelly Smith (11) holds her defensive ground as see fronts a David Douglas player while tredding water in the deep end of the pool. “This year was definately the most physical season of water polo I have ever played, “ Smith admitted. “I’ll remember it forever.”

Taking it to the whole, In a close game against the Reynolds Raiders in overtime Brannon Dooley (12) takes it to the hoop, when normally he would pass. “My main goal is getting assists, I really like to distribute the ball but in this case I knew we just needed to get some more points on the board,” said Dooley. Preparing to step back for two, The game against Barlow was devastating one, but our boys did their best to defend Gopher Pride.

to Central Catholic High School for another feud that had everyone at the edge of their seats. For the Super Fans, the game of the season is against Barlow, but for the team, their game of the season is against Central Catholic. Central Catholic was ranked number one in our conference and this was the game of the season. It was neck n’ neck, but Gresham held a six point lead for most of the game. With one minute left, Senior Zach Sherba scored at the free throw line which lead the Boy’s Basketball team to victory. Stockton Korst (12) scored 26 points throughout the game that night. “It was the best game of his basketball career,” Jake Bryant (12) said about his teammate. Korst replied, “It was our first conference win and Central Catholic was tied for first in the conference. Our whole team played really good.” The win wasn’t the only big thing about this season. It was also Coach Todd Nagel’s last year coaching boys basketball, and that was a big deal because he coached at Gresham for 13 years. With a win over Central Catholic, it made Coach Nagel’s last season as a varsity coach one he’ll never forget. “I had a good run. Some years were better then others, but the best part is the kids that I get to work with. I have had a lot of good kids on the team,” laughed Nagel. Spencer Kelly (10) tells us, “He’s a great coach. I’m glad I had the privilege of being a part of his team.” Over all, the team had great chemistry and worked their potential to the fullest. Even through the good and bad of the season. “There were eight seniors on our team. We all seemed to get along really well,” Korst adds. For the Gresham Gophers, this year was more then just whether you win or lose the game. It was about the last chance to learn and gain from such a great coach and all the players on the team. This season was a time that the teammates and Coach Nagel will always remember. Basketball teams to come will know about the legacy that Nagel left behind.

“ Coming together is a BEGINNING Keeping together is a PROGRESS Working together is a SUCCESS”
Written by: Hannah Phillips, Laura Phillips and Monica Kemp
“What I’m asking is that they do a complete 180, everything needs to change compared to last year. I know I’m asking a lot from them, but they chose to take on the challenge.” Coach Leitch stated. According to Leitch, her coaching philosophy has always been about tough defence and working hard on the fundamentals on both sides of the court. This includes passing, free throws, proper defense, and boxing out correctly. She hoped to see her players improve on those skills for the season. These core beliefs, Leitch thought, were the corner stones for achieving team chemistry and success. Leitch attended Wilsonville High School and began playing basketball when she was 17, she has always loved the game it was a family past time. When she was 17 her own basketball coach asked her if she would like to coach a Jr. team. “That’s when I realized that I could give back to other young girls and teach them the same things that I had learned,” Leitch said. Her High school basketball coach has had a big impact on the way that she coaches. In her own coaching philosophies she has blended some of her old coaches styles with her own. She saw many strengths from the way he coached, and used them in her own coaching. With her own unique style of coaching, she is sure to have an impact on the team. It wasn’t until about a third of the way through the season when Coach Leitch found her A-ha moment, “I guess my ‘A-HA’ moment was starting to practice what it sounds and looks like to be a team, and how people act to be apart of a team,” Coach Leitch explained. At that point Coach Lietch had realized two things. One was they need to find out how to be a team. And the other was to figure out how to win during close games. She knew it was possible. And with beliefs, came adjustments. The team endured a lot this season to make sure they could live up to SB’s (Coach Leitch’s) standards. “This year Leitch asked us for a lot more time. We just had to be responsible and listen to what she had to say,” player Sage Cruser(11) admitted. Everyone knew what had to be done. The team along with Coach Leitch were ready to work. “All we need to do as a team is work hard 24/7 and never give up. “Forward Erin Urbanowitcz(11) said. The girls were prepared to work hard for what they wanted to achieve. Leitch recognizes that she has a young team, but she still has high hopes for them in the future. This year it really didn’t matter if they won or lost. It was the growth that they

I never look good in these pictures
The juniors lazily walk into the auxiliary gym for the third time in their high school career, not realizing that this is the last time they will ever have to worry about what their picture looks like, and then only to be disappointed when they are handed their student ID card. Each year students prep their hair and makeup for a silly little picture that will only be shown in the yearbook a year later in black and white. “For some people, they have to really get ready and prepare themselves, so I feel bad for them, but
for people like me, there is no way to mess up a face like mine!” laughed Michael Nunziato (11). But does it really matter? Because, what’s the point of a freshman, sophomore, and junior portrait? Especially after one is handed an ID card and everyone is faced with some flaw in their picture. According to Robert Morgan (11), he could care less about his picture, and he thinks that everyone gets all worked up over nothing.

Picture Day!
After all, once someone becomes a senior they can do what ever they want for a picture. Being able to choose the lighting, background, focus, and angle of the picture. Most of all, however, they can take as many shots as they want, and choose the best one from the bunch. “Taking senior pictures will be a really fun experience, and we won’t have to worry about only getting the chance to take one photo,” said Emily Noyes (11). “We’ll be able to choose our own pictures and styles of photos for once.”
It really doesn’t matter, Travis Riley (11) laughs during his school photo while his friend, T Bone Heckman stands on the sidelines and makes jokes to het him to smile. “Picture day is pretty much a joke for me, I don’t care what I look like in a silly little picture,” stated Riley.

I Know How You Feel Written by: Kayla Metcalf
I am writing this story as a seventeen year old senior who is really lost inside. Have you ever had someone say that they know how you feel, or that they understand, but deep down inside you knew they didn’t? This past year was a difficult one for me. I have always believed that I have grown as a person after facing different challenges in my live. Recently my family experienced two losses very close to us, the deaths themselves, indescribable. But it has been the day to day memories that have constantly rekindled the heartache and sadness we experienced that winter night. I always knew this day was going to come, but I never thought that it would happen so fast. When I was born in 1992 my father, Chuck Metcalf, was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer called Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. It is a type of cancer that travels trough your nerves. He was cancer free for about ten years and then the cancer was back in 2002. This time my family was told that there was nothing that could be done to help my father, and that it could happen any day. Seeing my father go through something like that, made me believe he was the strongest person I would ever know. I never thought that at the age of sixteen I could lose my father for good. The fact that my father wouldn’t be there to walk me down the aisle, or I couldn’t have my father daughter dance with him like my two older sisters had, scared me. Knowing my father wouldn’t be there to see his baby girl graduate from high school, seeing and being able to hold my children one day, and most of all just the fact of not having my big papa for all the little things in between hurt the most. My father became very sick to the point where he couldn’t get out of his hospital bed. On January 30, 2009 my father called my family into the room. I just remember sitting there and looking at him laying in his bed so helpless. He said to us “I am not gonna make it through the night.” When I heard that I didn’t cry. I just sat there lost, and didn’t know what to do. You may find it weird that I didn’t break down and cry, but my father always told me that I was his boy that he never had because I was his only girl that played sports. After him saying that I just felt that I had to be the strong one in the family, or the boy in the family, and normally you don’t see boys crying. They always hold it in so that’s what I did. I remember everyone in the room started crying and I was just sitting there in shock. My older sister Becky said to my father, “Dad it’s okay you can let go. We want you to be at peace. We want you to be out of all your pain.” She also said, “Dad I promise you that we will take care of Kayla. We will get her through everything.” Right then, that’s when I started crying really hard cause what she was saying wasn’t what I was thinking. I didn’t want my father to go. I didn’t want him to leave me. I just thought it all was happening way too fast and I was too young to be losing my
064-077_1-13833_000.indd 73
father. All of the sudden I heard my father yell, “Where’s my baby girl? Kayla come here.” I went to him crying so hard. He just held my hand and rubbed his fingers across my nails, and said to me, “I love you little girl.” I couldn’t even breathe. I was crying hard and I was feeling like I was gonna get sick to my stomach. At 11:00 pm on January 30, 2009 my father went into this very deep sleep and was breathing very fast, which doctors say happens when someone is going to pass away. My family and I just all sat around him crying and couldn’t believe this was going to be it. Then at 12:31 am on January 31, 2009 my father was gone. He just stopped breathing. When I couldn’t hear him breathing anymore I ran into the room and sat there and yelled “No! Dad please, Dad please.” But he was already gone. I was freaking out yelling and screaming. I felt like I was going crazy, and the weirdest thing to me was that my father’s body was just laying there right in front of me without his spirit there. My days after that became so hard, days I didn’t look forward to. I couldn’t sleep, eat, or do anything. I just felt lost and my face was swollen up like a basketball from crying so hard all the time. I quit playing the sport I love during the summer because my father was gone. It just didn’t feel right playing and not having my number one fan there. Softball became something that when I went to play I would just cry knowing that I had to be there without my father. I guess you can say that there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about my father. Whether it’s talking about him, telling a story about something that he told me or telling someone that “my Dad always told me to do it this way.” Just driving in my car and having a song come on will just make me think of my father and it will make me start to cry. I feel like there are so many songs that I can relate my father to. When the holidays came around, it became very dificult for my family, beacuse it was our first with my father gone. I put up my christmas tree by myself which was so hard beacuse my father would always sit there and watch me and make sure I was doing it right and if I wasn’t he would let me know. I couldn’t even do it without crying. All these special memories just came right back and it almost felt as if he really was there watching me decorate. As I write about this life experience, I am not writing it to get everyone to feel bad for me, I just want to let other people that have been through this same experience know that they are not alone. I know that there are kids the same age that I am that say, “I just wish people or my friends could understand what I am going through”. I am someone that can tell you, I know how you feel.

It was so much fun, I have never danced like that before. I will remember that night for a long time,” smiled Giulia. This actually is fun, Sarah Hager (11) and Evan Olson (12) just can’t stop smiling and laughing at one another as they attempt to have some fun, and dance the night way. “I had a blast learning to swing dance, it was fun that we got the chance to learn how to dance like people used to in history,” admitted Hager. Making it look easy, Mr. Zac Enoch and his wife showed up all of the students and parents at the competition, even including their son at times, they dipped and spun the night away. “The toughest things we do in life teach us the most about ourselves.” explained Enoch.

Early skeptics found that a night of dancing was far more captivating than initially anticipated. Everyone of all ages entered the cafeteria with smiles and laughter on their faces for the annual Big Band Swing Dance. Parents came to watch their kids, students came to watch their friends, and even Barlow students attended for a night of swing dancing fun. Gresham’s staff wanted to join in on some old fashion dancing as well. It wasn’t anything like normal dances we have at Gresham. People got a chance to connect and get to know the people that they were dancing with when they were swing dancing. Some people would think it would be awkward and hard to dance with people they didn’t know in a form of dance they weren’t familiar with, but Alex Vaughn (11) and Sarah Hager (11) thought otherwise. “Its not awkward unless you make it awkward,” they explained. Everyone said it was way more fun to swing dance than to come to every dance that is always the same at Gresham. It was an opportunity to try something new while having a blast.

This event also brought some people together to try out new tricks. “I’m gonna flip her!” Keegan Johnston (11) said while trying to lead Giulia Gentili (12), “This is really fun, except when your partner doesn’t follow,” he continued as he shot Gentili a look. The band played incredible music that was enjoyed while dancing. They had a great turn out and everyone who was there had a blast.

Best Performance Ever Stand Out Year
BRINGS TOUGH RESULTS AT STATE A miss-communication between the sight reading judge and the choir leads to no place for GCC After all the long classes and after school sectionals, and even placing first in league, knowing that missing one note meant not placing at State was what killed Gresham Concert Choir this year. They sang five songs for three judges and received scores above 90 out of 100 from all three people. Those were the highest scores Mrs. Kirstein has ever received in her eight years teaching here. “We did great at State,” said Kirstein. “We just had one mess up in the sight reading room.” There was no way to predict what would happen at State, especially considering how the choir felt going into it. “Everyone was really prepared and really excited for it and I knew we sounded good and I was really excited,” said Aaron Lyski (12). With everyone so focused and ready, the Concert Choir went on stage and sang their best performance ever. “We felt so good,” said Dianna Alarcon (10), “Everyone was screaming, everyone was yelling ‘we sounded so good’ and the crowd gave us a standing ovation and it was like the best we ever did any of those songs.” The energy that was flowing through all the students was

enough to convince them of anything. “After performing we really thought we had a chance of winning because it was our best performance ever,” said Sarah De La Paz (11). Then the group went into the room where they had to sight read for a fourth judge and another score. “There are four exercises. The first one we nailed, the third one we nailed, the fourth one we nailed, the second one we pretty much took a poop on it ‘cause it was really bad,” recalled De La Paz. It wasn’t even as if they didn’t finish, they just weren’t aligned correctly. “There was a point when one of the tenors got off, and everyone was following them and some other guys

started to follow them and the bases started to follow them and so then we got off by about a beat,” remembered Lyski, “We still did everything right we were just off.” Some students thought that the judge shouldn’t have marked them down for every note after the one they misplaced, but he did. “State can be ridiculously frustrating and we hate it sometimes but when we came back,” said Alarcon, “We had a good talk and we were just proud of ourselves so everyone grew closer in that way because we were all just really proud of ourselves and how we did.” The choir was disappointed that they didn’t come out with as high a placement as they had hoped for, but it wasn’t all that shocking after the course of the day, either. “I didn’t feel too bad,” said Vang Lor (12), “It was kind of obvious that we didn’t win first.” Still, to know the performance was so astounding and then realize that

Three guys from the wrestling team made it to District Finals this year. That left Devon Gaboury (12), Dylan Hanson (10), and David Nelson (9) with one last chance to battle one on one against a league rival for the top place in district for their weight class. Hanson lost his match in a tight battle ending up with the second place title in the 135 weight class. Gaboury on the other hand, came out on top in a competitive match and became champion of the 152 class. Lastly, Nelson also got runner up after intense rounds in the 112 pound weight class.

Dirt tough, Gage Hernandez (9) wrestles one of the Japanese National Team members during a joint practice. “The Japanese wrestlers were crazy good,” said Hernandez, “It was an amazing experience.” All the wrestlers took a break to have a bite to eat. Subway, chips, and water, were things both teams could agree on. “It was really funny,” said Mark Bigler (12), “they loved the same food we did.” Nice to meet you, Brady Dooley (9) shakes hands with the National Wrestler he took home to his house for the night. “When he came to my house he just passed out on the floor and went to sleep,” laughed Dooley, “I offered him my bed, and I slept on the couch, but he was already out.” I’m Kaleb, Freshman Kaleb Crimp (9) attempts to communicate with one of the Japanese National Team members, but struggles with the language barrier. “They didn’t know a word of english,” said Crimp, “So that kept us from communicating very easily.”

sign language, video games, and Subway. They all said that the Japanese wrestlers were really tired from the time difference so that made it easier. The next day, they were to wrestle at Gresham. The guys knew that this team would be good, but they were surprised at just how good. Every single Gresham player was challenged by the national team and got to see what it was like wrestling someone from another country. “The coolest part was learning a different style of wrestling. Especially free style and international style,” explained Nick Moore (12). The boys learned not only new wrestling styles, but what it was really like to get their butts kicked. “The kid I had to wrestle for the whole practice dominated me,” admitted Crimp, “I probably scored 2 points on my guy the whole practice. I got worked but in the end it made me a better wrestler.”

This year the varsity wrestling team had the opportunity to host the Japanese National Wrestling Team and do you think they took it?! Heck yeah! Japan's National Team took the 11 hour flight to the Portland airport and awaited meeting a local school team as a part of their United States exchange. With only a day notice, the Gresham team volunteered to host the international students due to another school backing out. The Japanese team was to stay with our players and coaches and have a practice with them. The Japanese wrestlers were matched up with the Gresham wrestlers by weight class and they were to stay with that person for the night. “The best thing about having him over was I got the chance to see how other people from a different country do things,” said Kaleb Crimp (9), “I also liked the thought of how I got to take care of a national champion wrestler from Japan.” There were a couple key details in this whole international sleep over. The wrestlers on the Japan National Team spoke hardly any English, virtually none. “We had to do like hand motions for him to understand. It was kind of hard to communicate,” explained Brady Dooley (9), “But he was very respectful and my family liked having him.” Also, their wrestling team wasn't just made up of a bunch of high students who loved to wrestle. Their team was made up of all national champions from every weight class. Every single person on their team would be equivalent to an All American Wrestler for us, so they were good. Really good. According to Jake Roberts (11), their wrestlers asked ours “Which ones are your All American wrestlers?” Roberts laughed “Umm, none of us are...?” The guys got through the night by makeshift

Remember when having your ears peirced was really cool? And going to Claire’s with your mom to get new studs was so much fun? But then the whole phase of ear pericings changed forever. Instead of wearing studs and a dangle pair of earrings, people began to stretch their ear lobes to insanley large sizes. So what attracts us teens to such an odd self mutulation? In Africa, having gauged ears is a sign of beauty and freedom. Most parents here think it’s an act of rebellion. They wonder why their kids would want to stretch their ear lobes and ruin them forever. “I’ve always personally liked the way they looked, and I just decided that I was going to do it,” Brandon Eska (10) says. “It was my decision and my parents supported it,” he adds. So what keeps the trend going? “I wanted to stretch my ears because I wanted to be in a band. Everyone in bands had them and I thought it looked really cool,” Max Montgomery (12) explains. “But it hurts pretty bad to stretch them,” he says. “I just did it because I was bored. Most of my friends have them. It’s just a normal thing now,” Josh Koga (12) tells us. “The biggest size I have had was 1 inch. Hah, I haven’t regreted it... yet!” Koga laughs.
Plugs may be the most “cool” assesorie of this time, but what are the consiquences to gauging your ears? “After 3/4inches, they wont grow back to normal,” Aden Bjelland (12) says. Finding a job while having plugs can be hard. Parents, along with bussieness owners, don’t understand the reason wanting plugs. “They think it’s really unprofessional,” Montgomery tells us. “Owners wouldn’t want to hire someone who had huge holes in their ears,” Koga remarks. Plugs are misundertood by many adults and professionals, but either way, plugs will be here to stay for a long time. Highschoolers everywhere will continue this trend until they can’t gauge anymore! “If you wanna strech your ears, do it. Its your life and you can live it the way you want. If people dont like them, it’s there problem!” Montgomery exclaims.

Second Chance, Second Family Written by: Alyssa Emoto
Options helps struggling students to succeed Stand and address the flag, Donald Nutt (11) and Daphney Adams (12) Stand for the pladge of allegence. “We’re all a family in there,” said Adams.
Though most students don’t know it, the Options program run by Mr. Bartha and Ms. Weber-Welch has made a big impact on many students here at GHS. Mr. Bartha has been involved with Options since it was implemented 23 years ago. “The purpose of Options is to help struggling students to do better in school. We help students by showing them the benefits of changing their old habits into habits that will help them to succeed,” said Mr. Bartha. Students are in Options for one period every day. Plus, one class that they all have to take is an elective called Life Skills. This class is crucial because it helps students to move forward by teaching them how to set realistic but challenging goals. Through accomplishing these goals, Options students are able to rebuild their self-esteem through experiencing real success. “If everyone follows through on the mini goals they set every Monday, they get doughnuts,” said aide Taylor Richardson (12). Seniors also have to take Life 101. “In Life 101, Mr. Bartha gives us a list of things to do before we graduate like doing a mock interview and making a resume so that we’ll be more prepared for life after high school,” said Jordan Cooper (12). He has been in Options for 3 years. Along with consistent goal setting and learning life skills, attendance is highly promoted. “If 92% or better of the students comes to class over the course of six weeks, then the students get a free period and Ms. Weber-Welch and I make breakfast for them,” stated Mr. Bartha. Maria Bermudez (12) is one of many students who has benefited from increased attendance. “I used to be a ‘bad’ student. I skipped a lot and had bad grades. Now that I go to class a lot more, my grades are much better. I even got my friend to join Options.” “I like that the class sizes in Options are a lot smaller. It helps me to concentrate better. I had straight F’s my freshman year because I was sick for half the year. Now, I have almost a 4.0,” claimed Mary Cermack (12). Additional methods for success that are employed by Options include having only couches in the classroom (no desks!), helping students with their homework from other classes, offering credit recovery for English classes, and having Mrs. Francis - the ex-math department head - come in to tutor a couple of times a week. “Options also has its own Honor Roll. To get on it students have to get a 2.5 or above, so it’s a good source of motivation for them,” explained Richardson. “People seem to think that all we do in Options is sit around on couches and slack off, but that’s the total opposite of how things really are. We work really hard in Options. We count on each other and keep each other accountable. We’re like a second family,” stated Cooper.

The unfamiliar person began fiddling over me until I was turned completely inside out and everything went black. What did I ever do to you? What did I do to deserve this? Then, I heard the voice I know so well shouting angrily, “Why’d you just nugget my backpack!” Has this ever happened to you? You turn your back for one minute and when you turn back around. BAM! You’ve been nuggeted. But what does ‘nuggeting’ even mean? The root word, nugget, means a lump of something such as a precious metal or a small bite size piece of chicken. So how is turning a backpack inside out called a ‘nugget’? According to Clay Mott(10) it’s called nuggeting because once you’ve nuggeted someone’s backpack it looks similar to a small chicken nugget.
So why nugget a backpack? “Its funny and I love to see people’s reaction when they see what has happened,” Mott explained. We’ve all seen it happen. The victim is completely oblivious of what is going on to their helpless and innocent bag. In order to be a successful ‘nuggeter’ you’ve got to really know what your doing. Not only does it take practice but you’ve got to be quick like a bunny, subtle like a snake, and have a natural aptitude for the job. But how do you choose who to nugget? “The people whose backpacks get nuggeted are the kids who are dumb enough to leave their stuff in the open,” laughed Timothy Blanchard (11). Several people have taken caution to this cruel joke, but it can still happen to the best of us. “Once, it made me so mad I didn’t see it coming, but don’t worry I’ll get them back,” explained Edgar Lopez (11). You’ve all been warned. You might want to think twice the next time you decide to leave your desk and leave you precious backpack behind. You never know who you can trust. As Michael Rosenboom (11) left his class to talk to us, he was foolish enough to leave his own backpack unattended. “In fact, someone is probably nuggeting my backpack right now!” Rosenboom realized.
Go, go, go, he just went to the bathroom, Austin Vanzant (11) nuggets his buddie’s backpack when steps out of the room. “The reaction on my friends face after I nuggeted his back pack was hilarious,” Vanzant laughed.

“It’s crazy what John does,” said friend Austin Vanza (11).
“I’ve watched him multiple times. It’s just insane. He’s asked me a couple times if I’ve ever wanted to try it-but I’m just not prepared yet, but someday I’ll do it.” However, success comes with loss and injuries, but we as people can only grow stronger as athletes from those injuries and losses. Sutherland knows injuries alright. His biggest suffering came from an accident where he fell off of a bull, breaking four of his ribs and puncturing and splitting his entire liver in half.
“There is so much adrenaline running through your body at that
moment, that I didn’t feel any pain at all,” Sutherland admitted. To top off the broken ribs and liver, the bull then stepped on top of his body, smashing his kidneys. You may think bull riding is scary, or maybe even crazy but Sutherland is used to peoples’ reactions to his hobby. And for just 8 seconds, 8 long seconds Sutherland is thinking only one thing, “Don’t quit it, til’ you get it.”

Pushing off The moment before a big race, Ricky McElroy (12) is getting nervous and anxious as he counts the seconds until he can push off the wall and start the backstroke race. “Just waiting, each seconds seems like an hour. But once you start the race it’s over really fast,” McElroy said. Diving into the pool, Garrison Cox (10) competes the MHC District Swim Meet in hopes to keep his team in first place. “Districts were tough, and the competition was hard, but we put it all out there and came out on top,” admitted Cox.

The crowds roared and cheered all day long, especially when it came to the relays. The girls did not make it to the finals on Saturday in the 200-meter relay; however, the boys team finsihed fourth with 1.36:71, only five seconds behind Reynolds first place of 1.31:94. The 400-meter relay, the final event was even closer. The second place team lost by a hundreth of a second to the first place team. Starting the relay Rafalski dived in bringing the team into fourth place. The second and third legs brought the team up to third, and Pedersen anchored the team, trying to bring the team up to second but finshed with a time of 3.25:96 and took the third place spot on the podium. The boys won the distrct title with the most points scored at the meet and the most won dual meets from the season beating the Bruins for the first time in 16 years. “We thought we were going to win before it started, and I was glad we did,” Rafalski said. There was much celebration going on after the victory, and the team ended the day pushing head coaches Shane Dye and Sean Taylor into the pool. Taylor was also awarded the swim coach of the year.

Once again, the boys swim team here dived into the pool at Mt. Hood Community College, Friday, Feb. 12 and Saturday, Feb. 13, competing against nine other schools for a district title. Starting early Friday morning the Mt. Hood Conference teams competed all-day long hoping to make it to the finals the next day. Top finalists from the boys side were Jordan Pedersen (12), Tyler Strand (12) and Ricky McElroy (12), Daniel Rafalski (10), Erik Magistrado (10), Jerred Taylor (10), and Thomas Simon (9). The boys team led the meet throughout both days, followed by the Reynolds Raiders and the Barlow Bruins by only a few points. “We definitely killed it, and it was a lot of fun,” Rafalski admitted. Magistrado placed high in the mens 100-meter breast stroke, Magistrado also placed third in the breast stroke last year and stayed in third this year. Along with placing seventh in the 100-meter butterfly, helping the boys team out even more. Some of the most anticipated events however were the mens 100 meter Backstroke, 100 meter Freestyle, 200-meter freesyle relay and the 400-meter relays. Four of the eight competitors in the mens 100-meter backstroke were from here, turning out to be a very competitive race.

“Our only real strategy was that we watched everyone else’s failures, and turned them around into our success,” stated winner Stires. So the rockets were once again a big hit. The incoming freshman are going to have a challenge in front of them if they want to beat the launches from this year, and all years in the past.

BOYS AND GIRLS
Battle It Out At The Dean Nice Invitational Written by Hannah Phillips, Monica Kemp, and Laura Phillips
The 2010 annual Dean Nice meet hit the track again this year on May 7th, Great Anticipation, The girls track teem gathers after the closing moments of the District Meet awaiting the results for the top team honors. “We wanted it so bad, we had all worked so hard and knew it was going to be close,” said Marisa Benson (12). “Although we were announced CoCampions, I made sure that we received the award first,” Ceone Nojima (12) joked.
Girls fight for District title Last year at Districts, the girls track team dealt with a huge loss when placing fourth overall. It was a tough loss since they had been District champions for the last seven years in a row. This year however, they are out for vengeance. “I feel confident that our team has the ability to do well at districts. We have a strong element and a lot of natural ability,” said Clarice Terry (10). The first meet of the season was against Sandy and Hood River. Sandy was already set to win Districts this year, but they were quickly defeated with a score of Gresham: 74, Sandy: 71. Gresham then became the school set to take the District title. “It felt so awesome to beat Sandy,” said Nche Onyima (12). “It was the highlight of the season for me. I think if we compete how we’re supposed to compete and don’t let up, we will win.” Next came an easy victory over Reynolds and St. Marys, and with another boost of confidence, the girls defeated the Central Catholic Rams and the David Douglas Scots. The District title was practically in their grasp; the only thing in their way was the Sandy Pioneers, who were only three points behind them going into Districts. With the girls team suffering injuries, it would turn out to be a very close battle. The girls came through victorious however, and won back the title of district champions. “Districts was a lot of fun, and everyone did a really good job and it felt really good winning,” said Haley Crouser (9).
welcoming 15 other schools from around Oregon including Bend, Central Catholic, Clackamas, Dallas, Marist, Mountain View, Pendleton, Redmond, Rex Putnum, South Salem, Dalles Wahtonka, West Salem, and Wilsonville. Last year the girls team placed third, so this year the team was hoping to keep that winning streak. “When Harshfield first announced the outcome we were confused because we had calculated the points and we should have placed higher, but then Harshfield said we got second and we were happy,” laughed Ify Onyima (10). The girls kicked off the meet by winning the 4x100 meter relay and scoring the first 10 points for the team. Throughout the whole meet the gopher girls were placing in the top spots trying to keep the win going. However, competition was close, with South Salem only a few points behind them and by the 3000 meter race the two teams were tied for first with 88 points and only one event left; the 4x400 meter relay. The girls started off in the back during the first leg of the race, but by the fourth leg Khalia Tidwell (12) brought the team into fourth place, giving South Salem the first place trophy. “We went out, and we had a few people having to step up into Varsity spots, so to get second shows how good of a team we really are,” said Head Coach Cris Koenig. During the awards ceremony the teams gathered on the turf, and as the winning teams were being declared, announcer Cyrus Harshfield accidentally announced the wrong three winning teams spreading false excitement. “Excuse me, umm the three ladies who just got trophies, please bring them back, those are the wrong scores,” Harshfield announced. In the end, Mountain View placed third, Gresham took second, and South Salem stole first.
Near the finish, Eric Dugwyler pushes past his limits during the Dean Nice Invitational. “It’s hard. Running is hard. Most people don’t realize the kind of training we do to get in the kind of shape where running a couple of miles insn’t a huge deal,” stated Dugwyler. Running hard, freshman Hannah Phillips runs her fastest during the 800 meter run. “Running is like a release for me, after a certain point it just feels really good,” explained Phillips.

Hurling his first throw into the air, Sam Crouser takes his first attempt at the Dean Nice Invitational. His mark of 238 feet 8 inches, was only 6 feet under his national record set earlier in the season. It is not often that you see an entourage following a high school track athlete but people gathered around Sam as he put all his might into throwing the javelin in hopes of beating another National Record. “People would run over to the throwing area when they heard Sam was throwing,” Spencer Kelley said. “He was inspiring for the whole team.” Getting Focused, Jon Treloggen (10) prepares to throw the shotput during the Dean Nice Invitational. “I learned so much this year! I think a big part of the reason I learned so much was because of Sam. You see how driven he is and how much he has perfected his technique and you can’t help but want to be like him,” explained Treloggen. Get up girl! Senior Ceone Nojima attempts to qualify during the Dean Nice Invitational. She came up a little short but said “The Dean Nice track meet was one of the most memorable moeets of our season. Out team came through and placed second!” Powerhouse girl, Coleen Bailey (12) practices her shotput technique before she throws at the Dean Nice Invitaional. “I progressed a lot this year, training and lifting weights was a big factor for me and it really helped,” explained Bailey.
COACHES STATEMENTS: Most athletes only specialize in one or two throwing events, but Crouser placed at the top of every meet in all three events; Javelin, Shotput, and Discus. “To have an athlete star in all the throwing events is really rare, Sam was an important asset to the team this year,” Coach Chris Koenig said. For four years Crouser worked like no other to improve each and every day, and it showed more and more this year. Crouser was even named the athlete of the decade! “Sam set goals, and he stuck with them and that’s what really helped him succeed in the ways that he has,” Coach and father Dean Crouser said.

YEARS After After it was a challeng Written by: Katie Sewall
“The percussionists had their work cut out for them."
The Gresham High School band program was invited to walk in the Starlight parade this year for the first time in 38 years. Since then, we had basically discontinued our marching program. So, unlike other schools such as Centennial and David Douglas, we were a concert band program, learning to march like a marching program. That meant for a lot of people, switching instruments, memorizing music for the first time, and a lot of laps around the track. Plus a little extra help from outside. Warren Murray was one of the people who volunteered. “I’ve known Mr. Prunk for a few years and he asked me to come in and work with his drum section,” said Murray. Out of all the instrument sections, the percussionists had their work cut out for them. “There was no marching percussion here until three weeks before the parade. Marching percussion and concert percussion are 2 completely different beasts and so it’s a whole different kind of training,” continued Murray. Some of the students enjoyed the changes.
“I thought it was really fun, but at the same time I thought it was really confusing because I learned the whole horn part and then I had to switch to mellophone and then all of a sudden they were like, ‘no do drum line’ so it was like, ‘OK I’ll do that’ but it was fun,” remembered Miranda McClausland (11). Aside from some different instruments, the students had mixed expectations for something they had never done before. “I was pretty excited,” said Brennan Norwood (09). “ I had a little bit of a doubt about how fun it was going to be because of how hard it might be, but it was great.” There were good things and bad things about the night. It was good weather but there was a lot of waiting. The band had a massive sound from all 145 of the players but they didn’t all fit comfortably on the buses. “It sucked and it was fun,” commented Heidi McGill. “It was a challenge. It was a new experience but overall I think there was more good than bad.” Looking back, and considering all the obstacles, the band felt they did respectably.

“I liked it,” said Steven Parker (12). “ We did pretty good for our first time. I do have to admit there were some problems but hey, you know what, that’s very fine and it was awesome that the dance team and the cheer leading squad was there too.” This event meant hundreds of thousands of people would be seeing the Gresham band program, and that was some long overdue publicity for them. “All bands need to be recognized for everyone’s individual talent,” said McClausland. And they didn’t do that badly either. “I think that a lot of people weren’t expecting much and we gave them more than they were expecting,” said Norwood.
Keep your eyes on where your going, Katie Brashear(10) marches on as she carried her tuba for the entire parade. “I really didn’t want to do it, but the parade was pretty much our final so I had no choice.” admitted Brashear.

Finding the inspiration to write, Rachel Kelley (12) engulfs herself in her work in the back corner of Cafe Delirium in downtown Gresham. “I really enjoyed writing at Cafe Delirium because there were nice alcoves to write at and I could spend multiple hours there.” -Rachel Kelley
Dream,
‘ S hattered’ It’s Not Just a
She’s the Becoming of an Author
We think writing an essay for school is a challenge, but what about when a student is writing a book? Rachel Kelley (12) has decided to shock us all and do just that. “I tried writing a book when I was ten years old, but I just didn’t have the desire that I have now,” she says with a smile on her face. “I had this wild dream and when I woke up, I started to write the character development. From there, I just began to write.” How did she get into it and how did her parents react? “I played soccer my whole life, all the time. I just stopped all of a sudden, and I told my mom that I was going to write a book,” she explains. “At first she was shocked and didn’t know what to think about it, but now she’s excited. My parents are now all for it.” Kelley also let just one other person read this whole book; her best friend Valerie Haskins (12). “While I was reading the book I found it hard to believe that this was written by my friend, who is the same age as me,” Haskins states. “I found myself sucked into the story line, wanting to know what happened to the characters, laughing and crying at many parts of the book. It really sucked me in. I thought it was a great story, with strong characters.” Kelley started writing the book October 12th, 2008. She wrote her book mostly in Cafe Delirium and her room. “I finished completing the first draft on August 1, 2009, and my second draft was completed on November 29, 2009.” It takes countless drafts and editing before the book will able to be published. Her goal is to get her book out by 2011, which will be a challenge because it’s an extremely long and tough process. “I edited once, I had my mom go through it once, and now

Ms. Lundberg is editing it. Hopefully that will be enough to get it picked up by an agent. However, once it gets picked up, they may ask me to edit more. Then when it gets to the publisher, they may have an editor help me go through as many times as they see fit,” Kelley explains. How did the title ‘Shattered’ become the title of her book? “I hadn’t originally planned to title it until it was done but about halfway through the title “Shattered” just popped into my head and I knew it fit perfectly. I think it definitely reflects her (Elizabeth Jeffries, the main character) emotional state at the novel’s beginning,” she says. According to her website (Rachel-Kelley.com), it’s a book about a girl who’s past is better left behind her. She is forced to face it, and death, and once more she gives everything away for love and the possibility of redemption. “I wasn’t interested in promotion at first, but then I opened my website to the public and got a fan club on Facebook,” says Kelley. She’s not only writing her own book and promoting it to her classmates, but she has started to promote it outside of school. “I hand out my card to authors to get myself into the industry. I do this by going to the author’s book signings,” she adds. This is so much more then just writing a book for the attention and just writing a book because she has the love for writing. This is her passion, something that will take her far and make her an author. “I would say this is only my beginning. It’s just me starting my career. It gives me knowledge and experience in what I want to do, which is writing novels. I would be a novelist in a heartbeat, and do it all the time if I could.”

About 20 people showed up to the event. It started with an opening prayer that went around the circle so everyone got to have their input. After the prayer, the group sang some popular worship songs.

A [AUT O S H O P ]
Got Can a Car? you fix it?
Written by: Katie Sewall
The odds of everyone at Gresham High School eventually owning a car one day is pretty high. The odds of everyone understanding how that car works is pretty low. It is during the high school stage of one’s life that they have the chance to learn the fundamentals about cars for free. Still, not everyone chooses to take the auto shop class. “I took it ‘cause I wasn’t really into cars and I thought it would be a good idea to start knowing how to fix your own stuff,” said Joshua Koga (12). Taking the class has changed his mind about the automotive field being in his future. “For college I’m going to go to Mt. Hood for their auto program and after that, work for a shop,” continued Koga. For others, taking auto shop has a personal relevance. “I took auto shop because I’ve owned a dirt bike since forever, since I was like 6 years old and my dad always worked on it, and I wanted to help him, and I wanted to learn about motors and everything,” said Adam Cage (12). Even though the class isn’t always easy, he still likes it. “We have to memorize the parts by name and there’s a lot of them,” said Constantine Zavalin (12). Cage agreed that having to take all oral tests and quizzes to prove you know everything can be challenging. Still, it’s a beneficial class. “Cars are everywhere, so I just want to know how to fix them, just in case,” added Zavalin, “Even if I won’t go work in this career, I will know for myself if my car breaks down, I will be able to fix it.” Auto shop is also good for some students because it is one of the only trade skills classes we have here. “I like it because it’s a class that’s hands on,” explained Cage,

brakes, stuff like that,” said Cage. Someone can choose to take auto shop for only a semester or a year. They don’t have to go all the way through. According to the auto shop teacher, Mr. Ruff, only about 25 kids every year complete the entire course. A course that he feels is good for everybody. “I think it’s a very important life skill to understand how a car
works since most of our transportation relies on cars,” admitted Ruff. AUTOSHOP | ACADEMICS

Movie Night: Papers the Movie: STORIES OF UNDOCUMENTED YOUTH

School. Simple enough, but it’s how we communicate between people.
Everyday we talk about recent movies we have seen, whether it was good or not. We talk about upcoming movies, but this year a certain movie went without recognition. “Papers” the movie is a story of undocumented youth and the challenges
students face as they turn 18 without any legal status. “Papers” was shot here in Portland and includes families of all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Everyday, families cross the border into the United States and are forced to live
their lives as illegal citizens. They leave their homes, friends, and family to live in a foreign country where the languages and cultures are unfamiliar. People are taken

out of their comfort zone and thrown into American society to grow up and learn English. Kids are raised thinking they are an American citizen, that they are just the same as everyone else, when really they cannot do the things that they dream of accomplishing. “Papers” represents a global issue that most people are against, but the film gives you an insight on what undocumented students really go through, and the obstacles they face. “Immigration is a very emotionally charged issue. The movie is very opinionated and yet it is filled with
excitement,” said Assistant Principal Ayesha Freeman. Imagine leaving your home, your childhood, and your memories. Then, not by your choice, moving to a
country you have never been to, in hopes of making a better life. After you have learned the ways of this new culture, you go to take your DMV test to get your drivers license and you’re denied. You send in college applications and again you’re denied. But why? You’re just like everyone else, but you’re not. This new place you came to, that you call home, isn’t your home. You’re denied your rights that everyone else has because for some reason your not a legal citizen of this country you’ve come to know so well. Most students in the school today will just turn their heads when they hear about ‘Undocumented Youth,’
or students will make racist comments or jokes toward students of other race or skin color, and that needs to stop, and hopefully ‘Papers’ will encourage students to do just that, and show them the reality of the situations. The film hit the big screen in Downtown Portland at the Hollywood theatre and the showings were sold
out each time. On June 6th, Gresham High School hosted a live screening of the movie here in the auditorium for all of the students to watch. “Papers gives people an understanding and shows how people get lost in the system, and yet they still succeed,” Joanna Zavala (12) explained. According to Jacqueline Altamirano (12), the film changes your view on different situations because people do not realize the situations and that you can really sit down and connect with these people that are not documented citizens. “I really like the movie. It was really realistic and accurate about the situations people face,” stated Altamirano. Not only did this film have sold out screenings, but it soon spread across the country to other local theatres. Director, Anne Galisky even made an appearance on CNN where she talked with news anchor Rick Sanchez and Walter Lara of the Dream Act Organization. During the show, Lara states that people need to be aware that undocumented students are not “illegal,” and that no human being can be “illegal” and that word should be banned from our vocabulary when describing a person. “It is good, everybody should see it,” announced Zavala.

By Arielle Cortese, Emily McDonald and Alex Hagel
Every match, and each player has different goals for themseleves but one thing they all have in common is winning. “Before every match the captains of our team will trade off and on to pick a quote of the day, and we all will put that quote in our left shoe,” says Alyssa Emoto (12). It’s a tradition that has been passed down to our generation and it’s a sign of good luck. “Last year during this time our biggest match was against St. Marys with an undefeated title in conference.” said Tammy Louie (11). “It was a fear that we would be just another tally mark of their winning streak. It surprised us this year to take home the win.” The girls this year have had a winning season of (3-1) in conference. They have been proving how much effort and practice they have been putting into tennis. “We want to prove to everyone that we’re more then just ‘girls tennis’, that we actually want to be recognized as a sport that we work very hard in but also have fun,” said Amy Wooten (11).
Alyssa Emotto (12) was voted team captain amonst the players, and was the most valuable player of the year. “I loved my team this year, we all had a ton of fun hanging out during matches,” exclaimed Emotto.

Our best competition is against Barlow. We play our hearts out and leave it all on the field.” “I feel like our team is a tough competition compared to the other teams in the district. We had a tough first round, but we got things figured out,” added Kendra Groom (12). But what were the main goals for these girls after they started playing the way they really wanted to? “My goals are to win our last game and to get into playoffs,” explained Alyx Hicks (11). They continued to try their best at every game they played. The girls knew if they could win their game against Centennial, they would be qualified for the play offs.They pulled through and defeated Centennial. After the great win, they were thrilled to make it to the playoffs. Even though the team didn’t do so hot when it came down to the actual playoffs, the only valuable thing to them was that they played their hearts out and gave the seniors a season to remember. Playoffs are an essential part of a season, but its not the only important thing that they have lost this year. The returning seniors play a huge role in the team.

Looking Back, Two ‘dead’ students lost in thought in a graveyard while imagining the possible outcome of drunk driving. “This whole thing really opened peoples eyes about the causes and effects of drunk driving.” stated Quintin Hardgrove (12). Standing at your own grave, Senior Lauren Summers looks upon her own grave in the front lawn of the school. “It really shook me up to see my own grave. And writting that letter to my parents was really hard to, I know I would be breaking their hearts as they read it,” remembered Summers.
Death stare, Senior Aden Bjelland poses for a creepy picture to be used during the slide show at the assembly for seniors only. “The whole thing changed my look on drinking. I’m going to be way more aware about not only myself driving but other people as well.”
Freaky! All ‘dead’ seniors stand in place and stay quiet during the lunch time rush as freaked out underclassmen pass by as quickly as they can. “It was so hard to try and keep a straight face! All my friends were trying to make me laugh but it helped to think about what this was really all about. Drunk driving is a really serious issue,” said senior Chelsey Sann.

280 of us Had A Blast
By Taylor richardson
The picture you see here is supposed to represent the class of 2010. But if you really look at it, you would see that there are really only about 280 kids out of 340. That’s like 60 kids who aren’t here. At this moment we were together. We were sharing those few crazy minutes out of school to take this picture. There were silly ones and jumping ones and just plain wild ones. But the truth is that life is made up of little moments, little moments that you have to make count and take the chance to be a part of. This was one of those moments. There are few of them for our class has the opportunity to be all together, freshman first day, senior meeting, this picture, and graduation. And to understand what it’s like to be a senior and go out and take your class picture in the 10 minutes of non-rain, you had to be there. And to those 60 kids not pictured here, we really wish you would have.

Walking down the steps through the graduate entrance of the Memorial Coliseum makes the surreal feeling of graduation disappear. You realize that this is really happening; you’re graduating from high school. As the shock wears off, you enter the Georgia Pacific room to stand in line (alphabetically of course) and excitement takes its place. You check to make sure your tassel is on the left side at least a million times and try not to visualize falling down the stairs or your sleeve getting caught on the railing as you get your diploma. Administrators walk in to tell the seniors that they are about to walk out to begin the graduation. They tell the graduating class that they have one more time to yell out together as loud as they possibly can, they explain that no class has ever yelled louder than the class of 2007. On the count of three, they were all to scream, and scream really loud. One...Two...THREE! “AHHHH! WOOOO!” The coliseum must have shook as teachers covered their ears and administrators jaws dropped at the sound that was coming from the class of 2010. “Wow! You guys are the new champi-
ons, that was a 10!” exclaimed Vice Principal, Mr. Lonnie Wells. With a new zing of pride added to their spirits and their heads held high, the class of 2010 walked onto the floor of the Coliseum to take their place. You are greeted by the teachers who have made up your high school career. The ones that pushed you and made you appreciate and believe that there really are teachers who care about you, and the ones who, well, didn’t. Once everyone was settled and had listened to choir sing twice and drama give a little performance, it was time for the speakers. Aside from the other students chosen to speak, the senior class selected Activities Director Bill Chisolm to be the Graduation Speaker. It would be an understatement to say that his speech wasn’t exactly traditional. He spoke about everything from dirty dancing to fourth graders and mice in microwaves to leadership kids on his lawn. And right smack in between his speech he took time to have the audience “make it rain” by using several hand motions that make rain like sounds. But no matter how you spin it, the speech was something to remember, just like the class of 2010.

Congratulations Sam, On June 28, 2010 at 11:20 in the morning, our own Sam Crouser was honored as the Gatorade National Player Of The Year in Boys Track and Field. Raising the trophy into the air, Sam was congratulated by family and friends who looked on. In a candid speech that followed the trophy presentation he humbly thanked his family for all their love and support, and especially his Dad. “I never would have had this opportunity if my Dad wasn’t there by my side,” said Crouser.

GATORADE PRESS
RELEASE:
The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with ESPN RISE, today announced Sam Crouser of Gresham High School as the 2009-10 Gatorade National Boys Track & Field Athlete of the Year. By claiming the 221st National Player of the Year trophy to be awarded in the programs 25 year history, Crouser joins the late Art Skipper Jr., an NCAA champion javelin thrower, and Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love as the only high school athletes from the state of Oregon to earn Gatorade Nation Player of the Year recognition in any sport. The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Crouser as the nation’s best high school boys track & field athlete. A national adcisory panel comprised of sport specific experts and sports journalists helped select Crouser from more than one half million high school track & field athletes nationwide. Crouser is now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade Male High School Athlete of the Year award, to be presented prior to The ESPY Awards in July. The 6-foot-5 ½ senior shattered the national high school and Ameri-
can junior record in the javelin this past season by nearly 14 feet with a throw of 255 feet, 4 inches at the Portland Track Festival earlier in June, eclipsing the 22-year-old previous record. The only boys prep track & field athlete to set a a national mark this year, he also swept all three throwing events at Oregon’s Class 6A state meet, becoming he second prep boy in state history to earn that triple. His uncle, former two-time U.S. Olympian Brian Crouser, was the the other, in 1980. He is the only U.S. Prep ever to throw the international javelin more that 250 feet. “Without question, Sam is deserving of recognition as the nation’s best high school track & field athlete based on his statistics on the field and the impact of his accomplishments have had on Gresham’s success,” said Gatorade Senior Vice President of Sports Marketing Jennifer Storms. “But he is also a shining example to peers and aspiring young athletes of what a leader and a student-athlete should be. He represents everything we hope for in a Gatorade Player of the Year recipient.” Crouser has signed a National Letter of Intent to compete on an athletic full ride scholarship at the University of Oregon this fall.

Our leaders closing thoughts, Following a humor filled staff breakfast on the last day before summer break, Principal Carol Daiberl made one last stand with the mic in hand, and on a serious note, she closed the mornings activities with: “. . . . .When I look at the faces of the people that I work with, primarily you guys, and our students, and when I have the opportunity to visit with parents, it makes it all worth it. You guys have made the absolute difference in my life. I said earlier this week, I have grown up here. I have learned so much from all of you. You need to realize that in the teaching that goes on in the school it does doesn’t just sit with what you do with just kids. You make all the difference in the world to your colleagues every single day. And, if I take anything away from here as I walk out the door in the next week or so, the single most important thing to me will be all of you and the relationships that I have built, and the opportunities that I have had with people both now and in my past who have long since retired and are off doing from things. From the bottom of my hart, I thank you for everything that you have taught me. You are an amazing group of teachers. And I hope that I will have contact with many of you in the future so I can continue to learn and grow with you. Have a great summer, a great great summer, and good luck next year.”

Her leadership and vision for Gresham HS over the last 32 years was so greatly appreciated that when she announced her retirement earlier in the school year, it actually caught some of the staff of guard and brought them to tears.

football, basketball, and baseball we were somewhat relieved. The quote you chose for football, “It’s not the will to win that matters- everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.” (Bear Bryant -football coach) really defines your work ethic, and we couldn’t be more proud of you

in History
Avatar Highest Grossing Movie; James Cameron’s science fiction 3-D movie broke the director’s previously held record
of highest earning film.
Avatar is the highest-grossing film of all time with $2.7 billion worldwide, and that doesn’t even factor in DVD/merchandise sales or the forthcoming theatrical re-release. As a raw number, $350 million is an astoundingly high paycheck for writer/director James Cameron. But as a percentage of the theatrical gross, 13% actually seems kinda reasonable.

Volcano Erupts in Iceland
The ash cloud to follow forces the UK to close all airports and ground all flights. In this Wednesday April 14, 2010 photograph, smoke and steam are seen rising from the volcano under the Eyjafjalla glacier in Iceland, which erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters.

iTunes Approaches
10 Billion Downloads, Reveals Top Selling Song
1) Black Eyed Peas: ‘I Gotta Feeling’ (2009) This No.1 downloadable iTunes song won a 2010 Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. As of April 25, it has become the best-selling song in digital history with 5,561,000 copies sold in the US. In celebration of iTunes’ 10 Billion download marker (which was met on Feb. 24, 2010 at 9:43PM GMT), Apple has revealed the Most Downloaded iTunes Songs of All Time. Covering singles from Kesha, GaGa and the Black Eyed Peas, among others, these iTunes singles prove that when it comes to downloading music by the masses, we chose to fill our iPods and nanos mostly with retro club beats and dance-floor jams -- but also muse over romantic ballads by Jason Mraz and Taylor Swift, even the string-driven melody in Coldplay’s ‘Viva La Vida.’ Check out the entire list of songs (all released within the last few years) after the jump! www.aolradioblog.com

Oil Spill in the Gulf,
The BP oil rig that exploded
in the Gulf of Mexico
would then continue to spill oil
into the ocean for months.
Oil Ticker from PBS.org
On April 20, 2010, an explosion and fire erupted on an offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico called the Deepwater Horizon, which had just completed an exploratory well 52 miles from shore in 4,992 feet of water. The incident led to the death of eleven workers. The fire destroyed the rig, which sank on April 22, 2010. The sinking rig damaged the oil well, and the oil spill resulted from the failure of the blowout preventer, a safety device intended to stop the flow of oil from the well. www.kosmix.com

Whether you loved or hated the series finale of “Lost,”
one thing is certain. . .
Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are masters at making us ask, “What just happened???” From the first episode in 2004 until Sunday night’s season finale, “Lost” has been providing discussion topics for most of this world’s coffee gatherings. What I loved most about the series was it was impossible to predict as each episode could start from anywhere in the world, at any point in time, and connect to the island’s inhabitants. No one could claim that “Lost” had a formula other than telling a good story from episode to episode centered around each character’s unique “lostness.” Written by winkfarrand on May-24-10 4:38pm From: winksmovieblog.com
