April 22, 2013 RenĂŠe Burke Legend yearbook adviser Wm. R. Boone High School 2000 East Kaley St. Orlando, FL 32806 Dear Mrs. Burke: As a current yearbook editor, I feel I have grown as a journalist and am ready to take on the responsibility of a senior editor. Please accept my resume for your review and consideration for the Senior Design Editor position. With my skills of writing copy and captions, taking book worthy pictures, Photoshop and InDesign skills and time management skills, I feel I am well qualified to be the Senior Design Editor of the Legend yearbook. I would use this position to better the publication and lead and encourage the staff to do the same. It would also grant me the possibility to grow as a journalist and leader. My will to succeed drives me to put my heart into everything I do. As Design Editor, I would take the job seriously and complete every deadline to the best of my ability. To be an editor one must be very skilled with technology, and with my experience in editing the club section this past year, I could use my knowledge to succeed and better this publication. While the enclosed resume thoroughly describes my experience and accomplishments, an interview to discuss my further plans in this position would better display my attributes. I would appreciate to meet with you at a convenient time. Thank you for your review and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Respectfully yours,

ESSAYS

After completing Journalism I and experiencing what it was like to work as a staffer for an actual publication in Journalism II, I found that it is something I am truly passionate about. As cliche as it sounds, creating and dedicating many months towards the yearbook is worth the stress, tears and hours upon hours of my free time consumed by tedious cobbing and typing names because getting to see the book in print gives me a great sense of euphoria. Journalism has taught me basic grammar and design skills as well as how to write concise stories that pull in readers, and take book-worthy photos for print. Also, I have learned the value of deadlines and how to manage my time wisely to meet them. The majority of the work this year requires an immense amount of teamwork and relying on other staffers, students, teachers and coaches. I have learned that the only person you can truly trust to get the job done is yourself, but it is possible to encourage others to do their part without being bossy. Furthermore, selling ads in the beginning of the year and selling books during our crunch time in December really me the importance of advertising and marketing toward your audience. This course is extremely valuable to take because it mimics a real world professional publication and gives me invaluable work experience with computers and design software. I can use these skills in the future as I would love to pursue a career in Public Relations, which is a branch of Journalism. Overall, this course has prepared me for my future beyond high school and I continue to grow through it every year.

SELF ANALYTICAL ESSAY

My most significant piece this year is the club reference section. Though I faced countless hardships in creating this section, I am extremely proud of the final product. Going into the club photos and deadline three, I wasn’t nervous about its deadline approaching because I felt it wouldn’t be difficult to place pictures and type names. I have never been proven so wrong. The tedious tasks of typing thousands of names, cobbing headshots, interviewing, placing photos and gathering information about over 50 clubs proved to be the most difficult task I ever had to complete. Though I didn’t make my deadline, I did the entire section myself, besides a few interviews and headshots here and there. I have never completed such a huge part of the yearbook before all by myself, and seeing it transform from rough drafts, to proofs, to actual print, brought tears to my eyes and made my heart proud of myself.

The piece I believe could still use work is the Colorguard page. As the clubs editor, I had to take over the page because the student originally assigned the page had left staff. This was in deadline five, where I had about 5 other spreads, and the club reference section. Because I had to design all of my other spreads, grade and guide my staffers, work on the reference section, prepare for a national competition with the Bravettes Dance team and complete the Colorguard page, I had an extremely difficult time keeping up. Olivia was nice enough to help me out, but I still feel the copy isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interesting and significant to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team and how their season went. The pictures are also subpar as well. If I had another chance to improve the page, I would have spent more time to get to know the club and how their season was going. I also would have looked for better photos and even traveled to more competitions to shoot photos myself. Overall, this page could still use work.

“Having the class is an advantage because it provides more time to perfect show work and the technique of tosses,” Rosario said. “For me, it also really helps my performance skills because it gives Mr. Jackson a chance to help us one-on-one to project ourselves to audiences.” A major goal of the team was to perform choreography in unison, especially in flag and rifle tosses. This would help the girls place better in competitions. “Building a strong technical foundation helps the performers establish a sense of unity in approach,” Jackson said. “Judges recognize when performers do things the same and they are rewarded for them. We will continue to work through the year to make every performer the same.” To achieve their goal of unity, the girls did extra exercises in class, like choreography across the floor, to practice their timing.

They also counted aloud when performing technique drills with spinning to remain in sync with each other. “[Working on technique in class] makes me more confident with what I’m doing in a routine, especially for competition,” freshman Miranda Rank said. Varsity Winter Guard finished second place at the Hagerty High School Guard Premiere Competition, where it competed in open class, two classes above the class the guard usually competed in. Aside from drilling the guard fundamentals in class, the girls felt that it was necessary to build bonds with one another to become a more synchronized team. “[The class] not only made us closer as a team, but we know each other’s movements so well we can match them and stay in sync,” Rank said. / / / content by BRITTAnY hOPe and OLIVIA Rees

Her arm muscles ached as she spun the flag for what seemed like the hundredth time during warm-ups. Knowing she had a fourhour practice on top of an hour color guard class, sophomore Sophia Rosario pushed through the pain and continued the drill. “You have to commit [your] time to [color guard],” Rosario said. “I don’t have a lot of free time for myself, but I’m okay with it. You have to commit the time if you want to be the best you can be, especially during competitions.” On top of practicing for four hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays, the girls had the option to audition for a place in sponsor Joshua Jackson’s seventh period color guard class. In class, the girls practiced the fundamentals of working with flags, rifles and sabers. They also learned proper technique and practiced performing choreography in unison.

It also uses rule of thirds and depth of field. (Junior class planter 10-13_bhope0041)

REFLECTION THREE

I believe I was an important asset to the staff and the 2013 edition the Legend. As an editor, my job was not only designing and grading pages, but guiding and helping the staffers as well. Though I struggled with designing and editing copy, I feel I excelled in leading the staffers and helping them when they were confused or needed help. I think I was able to encourage staffers to do their work without being bossy, and earned respect when doing so. I am extremely committed to the publication and spent as many days after school, during lunch and during my research period to work on my deadlines. I also missed Bravette practice when necessary to attend work days. I tried my best to do my job as efficiently as possible, and I am proud of how the book turned out.

REFLECTION FOUR

The two biggest problems I faced this year were designing and grading the content in my club pages. First off, with design, I struggled with keeping our book’s styler, while also following the rules of design and fitting the design to match the spread’s subject. I never understood when you can break designing rules and when you can’t, so I had a difficult time creating spreads. It was also particularly daunting to have an empty spread in front of me, I didn’t know where to start and my visions never came out right on paper. Secondly, with grading content, I had a hard time editing not just grammar and yearbook style, but the flow of copy and distinguishing angles. I knew where the problem areas were, but it was difficult for me to guide the staffers in a better direction because I couldn’t explain how to fix it, I just felt I had to fix it myself. If this problem arises next year, I will definitely try and give advice to the staffer and let them try and do it herself, instead of doing it for her. Overall, I think I tried my hardest and handled the situation as best I could, but it was a learning experience and I will grow next year.

REFLECTION FIVE

One of my goals was to design the deadline five spreads to each club and know exactly what can go where. I think I improved in doing this, but I didn’t achieve my goal. Many designs had to be tweaked throughout the deadline and I got very overwhelmed, so Kayla helped out alot with my designs. The crew page especially I had a vision for, but it didn’t turn out the way I planned and it had to be completely redone. My second goal was to manage my “me” time and staffer time more efficiently. I think I met this goal because I made time for myself to work on my deadlines. I think I met this, however, because Kayla and Mrs. Burke stepped in to help staffers with their pages, giving me the time to finish the Colorguard and reference pages. My third goal was to consciously grade copy and be more picky. I got familiar with my handbook and used it as I graded copy, so I think that I met my goal and improved my grading in the second semester. Also, I didn’t have as many copy problems as I did in previous deadlines, so I think the staffers improved as well.

basketball players are recruited to NCAA college teams, and half of those received a scholarship. Because schools are only allotted a certain amount of money to give athletes, coaches tend to spread it evenly throughout the team. As a result, full ride scholarships are rare. Despite the poor odds of it occurring, Taylor hoped to receive a full ride. “It’d be the icing on the cake if I received a full ride,” Taylor said. “Being recruited is an honor already.” As a junior, Taylor wasn’t allowed to take official college visits. However, he unofficially visited two colleges, the University of Florida and the University of South Florida. “It’s cool to talk to the players who are already there and get their insight,” Taylor said. “It helps me get a feel for the school.” Though Taylor recognized the importance of the recruiting process, he kept his attention on his performance during the regular high school basketball season. “Right now I’m focusing on playing for my team here and being successful as a team,” Taylor said. “That comes before recruiting.” Unlike Taylor, senior Kayla Combs was short on time with her decision. She waited until early September to announce her commitment to Lander University’s soccer team. “I was really delayed in the process, and I knew if I didn’t commit soon, then I’d lose my offers,” Combs said. “I’d be really upset and disappointed because I worked so hard to get them.” As the majority of girl soccer players had already committed, Combs was one of the last senior players on her team to commit to a college. Her decision came down to a choice between playing for Lander in South Carolina and Lenior Rhyne University in North Carolina; both offered her scholarships. Fearing not getting along with her team, Combs visited each school to meet her potential teammates. “I am going to be around the girls for the next four years,” Combs said. “I want to make sure the team is uplifting and fun, people that I knew I would enjoy my college experience with.” After visiting both colleges, Combs concluded her best fit was with Lander, where she will play center mid-field. “I can’t wait to spend the next years of my life surrounded by people that love soccer as much as I do,” Combs said. / / / content by BRITTANY HOPE

HE STEPPED onto the field with confidence in each stride. Senior John Townsend prepared to punt the football, leaving the stress of what the future held on the sideline. Having already verbally committed to Ohio State University as a kicker since June, Townsend had to keep up with school work and communicate with his future coach daily. “[After I finish my homework] I get online and talk to the coaches,” Townsend said. “It’s a huge responsibility to keep in touch with them along with staying on track with school work.” The recruiting process originally went quickly for Townsend. He committed before the season began with a full scholarship. However, two days before national signing day things changed. Townsend received offers from the University of Alabama and the University of Florida making him doubt his original decision. Ultimately, he signed with Florida on a full ride. “Everything was fun until the last minute. People have been saying it’s the most stressful process and I picked up on that firsthand,” Townsend said. “It made me second think my decision and I just always wanted to stay in the SEC and be a Gator.” Numerous colleges across the country contacted Townsend, and he went on seven visits before committing. Among the 1.2 million teens who play high school football, 5.7 percent of those get recruited to a National Collegiate Athletic Association sponsored school, according to the NCAA. “I’m 100 percent happy with [my decision]. My entire family has gone to Florida, or is at Florida, so I feel really comfortable with it, and I love the coaching staff there,” Townsend said. For junior Barry Taylor, rushing into a college commitment was not one of his priorities. Beginning his recruiting process, Taylor believed the decision shouldn’t be taken lightly. “I’m not going to commit for a while because I don’t want to make a bad choice,” Taylor said. “This is one of the most important decisions of my life; I don’t want to rush it.” According to the NCAA Recruiting Guidelines, coaches could send personalized letters, text messages, emails and phone calls to athletes about their college programs in efforts to recruit them beginning Sept. 1, of their junior year. “It’s different now versus last year because more coaches reach out to me,” Taylor said. “It boosts my confidence.” According to the NCAA, three percent of high school

RESPONSIBILITY HAS A The screams of children echoed through the house, and his ears began to ring. No matter what he did, the children wouldn’t calm down. With three more hours of babysitting to go, freshman Matthew Brignoni took a deep breath and continued his efforts to take care of the kids. Babysitting was Brignoni’s only source of money during the school year, and he needed the $10 an hour to pay his bills. “I like [paying for myself] because I feel grown up when I get receipts and confirmation emails,” Brignoni said. To instill responsibility in her son, Brignoni’s mother required him to pay his monthly $150 iPhone 4 bill, which included his unlimited data plan. “I am very conscious about saving for [my cell phone bill],” Brignoni said. “My iPhone is my life.” On the weekends, Brignoni liked to go to the mall to buy clothes and hang out with

friends. However, knowing he had to keep up with his cell phone bill, Brignoni couldn’t afford to spend as much money on shopping and going out as his friends could. “I think more teenagers should have to pay some sort of bill for themselves because it helps train them for the future [to] become more responsible adults when they’re on their own,” Brignoni said. According to dailyfinance.com, about one in four 15 to 19-year-old Americans said they paid for their own cell phone service. For sophomore Thalia Gonzalez, paying her iPhone bill was her own decision. “I chose to pay because I don’t want my mom to pay for it,” Gonzalez said. “I can be responsible and cover my own expenses.” In 2009, Gonzalez started working four to six days a week as a Publix cashier to pay her $67 per month bill.

She also wanted to earn extra spending money. “I consider myself a workaholic,” Gonzalez said. “I enjoy working because I get to meet fun, new people and make money, too.” Like Brignoni’s mother, Gonzalez’s mother didn’t give her daughter money to go out on the weekends. Because of this, Gonzalez only went out with her friends once or twice a week in order to save her cash. “I’m not one to spend money on things I don’t need. Every once in a while I will go get my nails done, but I am more interested in saving money for more important things, like schooling,” Gonzalez said. Through paying her own expenses, Gonzalez earned respect from her mom. “I believe Thalia is extremely responsible, neat and mature, especially for her age,” mother Judith Reynoso said. “She has impressed me immensely.” / / / content by BRITTANY HOPE

GSA helps freshman feel accepted

On the first day of the school year, freshman Brandon Loyd walked through the halls, worrying about how his new peers would treat him. Loyd tried creating a Gay Straight Alliance at his previous school, but due to a lack of understanding from students, it was unsuccessful. However, GSA at Boone offered Loyd the opportunity to have a more inclusive high school experience. “I feel more accepted because of GSA,” Loyd said. “They understand me and know what I’ve been through.” Being a member of GSA also allowed Loyd to feel like he could make a difference and help other kids who were struggling with their sexuality. “[GSA] makes me feel like I have a voice. I feel like I’m a part of something that will help people like me feel more accepted,” Loyd said. Through events like the Pride parade at Lake Eola and the homecoming parade, Loyd and other GSA members were able to encourage community understanding of their beliefs and spread the word about the organization. “[GSA] helped raise awareness and helped keep people like me from getting picked on,” Loyd said. “It gives people more of an understanding of what homosexuality is.”

manager, junior David Merchant used a headset to communicate with the run crew to ensure they executed the sound and lighting perfectly. Merchant’s instructions assisted with the production’s timing and helped the audience feel engaged in the performance. “I loved working with the cast,” Merchant said. “They were always on top of things and made the show enjoyable for everyone.” Anatomy of Gray spoke of a tale about a doctor who lands in Gray, Indiana, and is expected to help the town heal from a mysterious plague that begins to spread. To persuade students to attend and solve the mystery, publicity crew head, junior Hunter Bustamante, decorated the campus and community with posters, created promo videos online and wrote press releases she sent to community newspapers. Bustamante saw the people who came and enjoyed the show as payoff for all her work. “The community [inspired me to do drama because of] how closely knit the drama department was,” Bustamante said. Together, the tech crew used their positions to produced a historical production with loss, love and healing that received a standing ovation at its premiere. / / / content by MONIQUE SORIANO

The lights dimmed and curtains rose as the Anatomy of Gray cast members each took one last breath before traveling back in time to Grey, Indiana, in the 1800s. Before the performance could occur, the show’s assistant director, junior Gabriella Beals, researched the period to help the cast members understand her vision for the show. “When starting the process, I had an initial hesitation to give direction to the cast because even though inside of rehearsal they were actors, outside of rehearsal they are my friends,” Beals said. Beals helped director Debra Christopher, a former student, decide on blocking, costumes and music. Beals felt that everyone in the company needed creativity, caffeine, commitment and passion to make a successful, functioning production. “Through staging, I get to see every actor almost as a unique chess piece, and it’s the director’s job to play the game with the pieces and play it well,” Beals said.

After the passing of two students in a car accident, junior Madison Nagle founded the club to stress the importance of driving safely and to remind students that seatbelts saved lives. Events such as the homecoming parade, the annual fund raiser at Chilly Spoons and the Ride Night at Orlando Watersports Complex helped the club publicize its message. “It’s extremely important to have this club on campus. People are ignorant; they need to be more aware of the dangers behind the wheel,” Nagle, president, said. Nagle was also an officer for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which met for huddles, bible studies and service projects. The club held a canned food drive in November to aid campus families unable to afford Thanksgiving meals. Club members also participated in Reach Up, a program through which high school students tutored and hung out with Conway Middle School students who struggled in school. These projects allowed members to better themselves by helping others in their community. “I think when you’re in any kind of school setting, you are still young [and] figuring out what you’re going to do with your life. FCA can be an influence that shapes [the person] who you’re going to be,” officer Lindsay Alexander, senior, said. / / / content by MARY CATHERINE DUSING

CLUBS As she sat at home playing with her autistic little brother, junior Bailey Paul considered what she could do to help her peers better understand the disease. Paul heard about the club Best Buddies and wanted to help people in the community become more aware of kids with disabilities. The club sponsored various events, including cookie decorating parties, holiday parties and lunch hangouts, designed to foster relationships between students and their special needs “buddies.” “Very few understand how important it is for [students with disabilities] to have connections at this age. It gives them a brighter future,” Paul said. The club not only impacted the special needs kids; it also affected the mainstream students who worked with them. The club gave both groups of its members a chance to see how much they had in common. “You get to see that they have their own personalities,” Paul said. “They are labeled as ‘mentally disabled’ but are actually a lot like normal teens.” Similarly, Gay Straight Alliance fought labels and promoted inclusion of all students by raising awareness about all sexualities. GSA promoted its message by participating in the annual Pride parade, one of the largest gay parades in the nation, held at Lake Eola. Members also participated in the homecoming parade and hosted monthly meetings where people of all sexualities could gather in a peaceful manner. “GSA has raised knowledge about the

The artists’ faces showed dedication as they created their newest masterpieces that were all their own. Nothing could turn their attention away from their art, whether it was through music, dancing, drawing or painting, because it was more than a hobby, it was a lifestyle that was only continuing to grow. Art Clubs provided students an opportunity to branch out, get involved and express themselves through their personal interests in art subcategories. Freshman Olivia Ingram was in chorus class one day when her friend, junior Lashay Cromartie, made an announcement about Bollywood. Ingram thought Bollywood would provide a nurturing environment for a freshman, so she decided to join. “I wanted to make friends and dance,” Ingram said. “I always liked the Bollywood culture.” Not knowing what to expect at the first meeting, Ingram was nervous. However, by the end of the day she felt welcomed. “If you don’t know something, they don’t judge you; they help you,” Ingram said. Sponsors were able to use their knowledge to positively impact students, who in return impacted them. Carlota Iglesias, the Bollywood sponsor, wanted to motivate members and have a fun time sharing what she loved with the students. Wendy Ernest also felt she benefited from sponsoring Anime Club. They both felt the club was an outlet from all the stresses of work and life. “Being around the kids keeps me young. Seeing their enthusiasm and excitement is what I get out of it,” Ernest said. In Anime Club, members shared their favorite Japanese cartoon books and videos. They watched and discussed the different characters’ traits and what they liked and disliked about them. Attending MegaCon, a large, multi-genre convention that catered to comic book, anime and fantasy fans, was an annual team building activity for which members dressed as their favorite anime characters for fun. “[MegaCon is] like eye candy. It’s fun, energetic, exciting and I’m just happy to be there with them,” Ernest said. “This is a very specific interest group, and [the club] allows students who normally wouldn’t be involved in other clubs an outlet to be involved in.” The clubs promoted a judgement-free environment where students could develop their own artistic interests. Students also realized how art could be incorporated into their everyday lives. “I started seeing everyday life from a whole new perspective,” Art Club president Timothy Hamilton said. “I’m an artist and [I] wanted to meet people I could identify [with].” Hamilton found his new perspective the summer before his senior year when a friend asked him to draw something for him. He learned that people would pay him for his art, and it increased his interest in continuing to draw. “[When I draw,] I have tunnel vision; nothing else matters,” Hamilton said. Each club sparked an interest in its members, who shared their talents with each other to help them grow into an inclusive and expressive family. / / / content by MONIQUE SORIANO

Compared to last year, I have grown immensely. I think I am more familiar with how to incorporate design elements throughout my portfolio, like the lines and polygon element. This year I kept it clean and simple. Though last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design was also simple, it used too many colors and looked ameteur, especially with the font I chose. I believe my look is more matured, and reflects my personality. I learned in this class that less is more, and if the design is clean and simple, it can go a long way. My quality of work improved this year because after last year, I learned how the yearbook and deadline process worked, so I was able to go through my deadlines with ease in the beginning of the year.

The screams of children echoed through the house, and his ears began to ring. No matter what he did, the children wouldn’t calm down. With three more hours of babysitting to go, freshman Matthew Brignoni took a deep breath and continued his efforts to take care of the kids. Babysitting was Brignoni’s only source of money during the school year, and he needed the $10 an hour to pay his bills. “I like [paying for myself] because I feel grown up when I get receipts and confirmation emails,” Brignoni said. To instill responsibility in her son, Brignoni’s mother required him to pay his monthly $150 iPhone 4 bill, which included his unlimited data plan. “I am very conscious about saving for [my cell phone bill],” Brignoni said. “My iPhone is my life.” On the weekends, Brignoni liked to go to the mall to buy clothes and hang out with

As she sat at home playing with her autistic little brother, junior Bailey Paul considered what she could do to help her peers better understand the disease. Paul heard about the club Best Buddies and wanted to help people in the community become more aware of kids with disabilities. The club sponsored various events, including cookie decorating parties, holiday parties and lunch hangouts, designed to foster relationships between students and their special needs “buddies.” “Very few understand how important it is for [students with disabilities] to have connections at this age. It gives them a brighter future,” Paul said. The club not only impacted the special needs kids; it also affected the mainstream students who worked with them. The club gave both groups of its members a chance to see how much they had in common. “You get to see that they have their own personalities,” Paul said. “They are labeled as ‘mentally disabled’ but are actually a lot like normal teens.” Similarly, Gay Straight Alliance fought labels and promoted inclusion of all students by raising awareness about all sexualities. GSA promoted its message by participating in the annual Pride parade, one of the largest gay parades in the nation, held at Lake Eola. Members also participated in the homecoming parade and hosted monthly meetings where people of all sexualities could gather in a peaceful manner. “GSA has raised knowledge about the

As the last note reverberated, the crowd erupted into applause. This was a relief for the new band director, Joshua Jackson, who wrote all the music the 150 students played. “The quality of music was better than the past; the music was more interesting,” sophomore Alec Reed said. The Sound of the Braves’ original marching performance, “Tabula Rasa,” meaning “blank slate” in Latin, showed the students he was starting the program anew. Jackson was straight forward and told the students when they messed up because he felt that not doing so held the rest of the band back from its maximum potential. “It was a positive season because students adapted and followed [directions]. Though Mr. Jackson’s new, he handled transition well,” assistant director Jose Eslava said. Implementing new warm-ups, such as lip slurs and scale exercises, helped the students improve their technique, ultimately enhancing the way they performed. “[Mr. Jackson] helped me improve my music and marching skills [by giving

With her heart beating rapidly, senior Katy Smith tried to shake off the nerves of performing for a crowd occupying not just a stadium, but millions of living rooms across the country as she walked the streets of New York. “I use to get really nervous, but now it just depends on the situation,” Smith said. “Before the Macy’s Day Parade, I was extremely nervous because I was playing in front of 53 million people.” Smith marched in the Macy’s Day Thanksgiving Parade in New York City for two years in a row. “It was the best experience of my life,” Smith said. “I liked being with people who care about band as much as I do.” Aside from the parade, Smith’s musical accomplishments included holding a spot on drum line since sophomore year. Smith was captain of drum line for two years and played the first bass drum. She also played at Carnegie Hall and performed in the Rose Parade in Pasadena, Cali., on New Year’s Day. “It’s an honor but mostly a pleasure,” Smith said. “Being invited to play at such prestigious events is incredible.”

“[I make the most of my moments by not] thinking. I just do,” freshman MONIQUE MARSH said.

Raybon said. “[My favorite dinner is] our end-of-year dinner because it’s fun hanging out with the [members].” Originally, Raybon joined the club because she felt being involved in extra curricular activities looked good on college applications, but after she partook in activities with the club, she realized she enjoyed enriching her knowledge of French culture. “[Students benefit from being in French Club because] they gain a lot by just being a member or an officer,” sponsor Dr. Safia Mami said. “They understand the true meaning of commitment and how to work out their schedule to attend monthly meetings. They experience various French holidays and customs.” Though Raybon and Spanish Club secretary junior Danielle McGonigal learned different languages, they both benefitted from the language clubs in similar ways. “[Because of the club,] I’ve met lots of new people, and I think they are all really great,” McGonigal said. “I like the social aspect [the club] provides.” McGonigal, like Raybon, learned more about the culture through the events Spanish Club sponsored and enjoyed seeing other club members get involved in projects such as food drives, the migrant farmer worker shirt drive and Project Llama. “It was very exhilarating to make such an impact on another society and to get people in our society involved,” McGonigal said. “[It’s important] because it helps the less fortunate.” Despite the different academic focus of each club, members found they benefitted from them in similar ways. / / / content by MEGAN DEMPSEY

The zoom of solar powered cars echoed down the hall as Engineering Club members raced their designs. For junior William Mateer, Engineering Club began as a social opportunity but quickly transformed into a preparation for a potential career. Designing and building solar powered cars and various robots sparked Mateer’s interest in engineering, specifically as it applied to building. “[Engineering Club made me interested in pursuing a career in engineering because] I really liked building all of the things so I want to continue doing that in the future,” Mateer said. Similarly, after three years of being in Math Club junior Christopher Caplan aspired to be an accountant, which required knowledge of advanced math. Math Club helped Caplan by giving him difficult questions to solve, which improved his understanding of the material he was learning. The club challenged him intellectually in a way that would help him with the career he wished to pursue in the future. “[Being in Math Club helps me with my future career because] it helps me prepare for situations that will occur during work,” Caplan said. For Carley Raybon, French Club president, French Club allowed her to gain a better understanding of not only the French language, but also the French culture. By organizing and attending the French versus Spanish soccer game and the holiday dinner, Raybon learned about a sport that was important in France and about common foods the French ate. “[My favorite part is] going to dinner with people in the club,”

As he collapsed onto his bed, sophomore Andrew Tom smiled as he reflected on his day of bringing baked holiday goods to homeless families at Orlando Union Rescue Mission. As he lay there, he realized the impact he had on others’ lives. Tom and other members of service clubs, experienced this feeling after volunteering at club events. “[It’s a] feeling that’s almost indescribable,” Tom, Baking Braves vice president, said. “You can go home and say, ‘I made an impact on someone’s life’, and that makes you smile.” From Key Club and Baking Braves to the Environmental Club, service clubs exemplified service by initiating projects to help others in need, both on campus and in the community. For example, Baking Braves provided an opportunity for members to help others by baking homemade sweets and delivering them to workers and families at the Orlando Union Rescue Mission, which helped homeless families and single women find food and housing. Members valued the opportunity to bake goods for others. “It felt good to give back to people who are in need,” Tom said. “I especially enjoyed volunteering at [the Orlando Union Rescue Mission] because it was an opportunity to help the community through baking; something I love.” The Environmental Club made a beneficial environmental impact. Every Thursday, the club collected paper, plastic bottles and other recyclable materials from classroom bins to help reduce the school’s global footprint. Through it’s collection, the club helped keep 36,000 pounds of products from going to the landfill in 2012. “I’ve always had a great love for the Earth,” senior Laya Al-Khalil said. “[Being a part of the Environmental Club] is not doing something just for me; it’s for others.” Performing 85 service projects per year, Key Club was one of the largest clubs on campus. It established opportunities for students to experience what it felt like to help both the school and the community. Impacting students lives served as intrinsic motivation to volunteer their time. “To help others makes me feel lucky and feel appreciative of what I have in my life,” Kelly Morales, Key Club sponsor, said. “At the Hubbard House, it’s cool to see the impact the club and [our] service projects have on families at their worst. [It’s] comforting to help them.” The club cooked monthly breakfasts and dinners at the Hubbard House, an Orlando Health facility that housed families of patients in the hospital. Also, throughout the year, the club participated in the “Letters to Soldiers” campaign, through which they wrote letters and assembled care packages to send to U.S. soldiers deployed in Afghanistan. Some soldiers wrote back, showing their gratitude for the club’s support. The club also participated in the Day of Hunger challenge on June 1, 2012, an organized, 20-hour period in which members fasted to show support for those who go hungry every day. The club also sold T-shirts to students to raise money for people in need of food. “By far, my favorite event was the Day of Hunger because it was very hands-on and we got to see what our fasting and fundraising was for,” Morales said. Even though the service clubs had different focuses and projects, they all shared a common goal: to provide assistance to those in need of help on campus and in the community. / / / content by JACOB BALLARD

Senior Christian Drayton also became the first student in four years to earn a spot on the All-State Reading Choir. To perfect their songs and routines for the Variety Show on May 2-4, the choirs practiced four hours each day the week before the show. “You only have so much time in school. It is not the same result as when we practice outside of school,” senior William Griffin said. Doherty looked forward to and felt confident about the choir’s performance at their Music Publisher’s Association competition, which they participated in each spring. “You never know for sure, but this year’s choirs are strong; the beginning choirs are stronger than usual,” Doherty said. Doherty felt the extra time spent with the choirs preparing their pieces were vital to his students reaching their potentials and fulfilling his goals for them for the year; to perform their best and grow as singers. “I hope they develop a passion for singing and that they develop and value music literacy skills and enthusiasm for choral music,” Doherty said. / / / content by KAITLYN DIKE

Although school did not start for another week, laughter filled the hallways of the music department as chorus members gathered in circles and played name memory games to get to know each other. On Aug. 15, chorus officers united all four choirs to practice 15 Christmas songs, including “Joy to the World” and “Silent Night”, for their Disney Candlelight Processional audition. “[The retreat] definitely solidifies us as a team, and we get to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and how to utilize them,” senior Mallory Paul said. Bonding activities, like the summer retreat, were popular among members and officers as an alternative to prepare for performances. The chorus students also gathered for movie nights, potluck dinners and rehearsal after school and on the weekends. “To be truly artistic, you have to work together to make that art; it’s important that we come together in a big way,” teacher Jussi Doherty said. For the American Choral Directors Association Honor Choir auditions, students memorized six traditional songs, such as “Agnus Dei”, “Sanctus” and “In Paradisum” and recorded each with Doherty to send into the ACDA before their audition in November.

SIGNIFICANCE: I was excited to write this wrap up because the story angle was different from the rest. The flag football team went undefeated up until this game, so I was able to write about a game people wanted to hear about, especially since it was an away game that students most likely didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend.
