For as long as I could remember fictional worlds and characters have influenced my life in one way or another. From bonding with my sisters over Super Smash Bros. And Legend of Zelda to staying up late to finish watching the Avengers movie. The fictional worlds that were introduced to me never left and I will forever cherish it. My imagination is filled with wonderful stories and amazing characters, what better way to continue that than working as a team member at Coliseum of Comics? I want this job because I never feel more productive than when I am working with something I love and take interest in. I would strive to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible Over the past two years I have worked on my school, Boone High School’s, yearbook with 30 plus other staffers. I have grown accustomed to working with others. There were deadlines were I had to work with a partner to complete a spread, so I have applicable social skills. Although I’ve never had a job in retail, I can quickly pick up on to and not to do. In Journalism One my advisor did the best she could to prepare us for either Yearbook or Newspaper with the limited of time she had. But there are some lessons you have to learn with experience. Like selling advertisement or time management.

Self Analytical Essay When I think about how I started Journalism my freshman it really started in seventh grade when I thought I wanted to be writer, I love think of bizarre scenarios and putting them into a story. Then in eight grade, while we met with the Boone guidance counselors, I saw I could take Journalism. I knew it wasn’t going to be fictional writing but, I wanted to broaden my horizons. Last year, to put it lightly, was not my best year. I was graciously given a second chance this year to show what I could do, so I set a goal; to work hard, to challenge myself and make every deadline, which I almost did. This year it wasn’t the lack of work ethic that lowered me but the small amount of effort I made to talk to the people I needed to. I had three deadlines with three individual staffers. The most pernant one was deadline five; the Reservation Run. My partner and I knew she had photos while I worked on body copy and when I was resubbed I didn’t tell anyone that I needed help and it wasn’t caught until it was too late. Everyday was a struggle for me, I’ll admit. I didn’t want to face disappointing anyone again and I didn’t want to be kicked off of staff. The first deadline most notably. I didn’t want to start off easy, I wanted to hit the ground running so I volunteered to do the McMillen Profile spread,since I was on probation there was a lot of stress on me to preform well. As a returner I feel as though I have a lot of experience that I past down to newbies like what to expect and what can happen or even helping them with designing or taking pictures for their photo days.

Reflection One I feel like my most significant piece was also the hardest one for me, the trends spread. I wanted to convey this years trend in an enjoyable way for the readers. At the start of the deadline I thought I was doing A okay and I lied to myself saying the Cobs all placed on top of each other doesn’t look weird or awkward. I continued to work on the Alex and Ani and Tweet Much mod, it wasn’t until I was called up and confronted about it that reality hit. The page looked disproportionate and empty to say the least. My next move was to think of another idea for a dominant photo, but I wasn’t me who thought of the Breakfast Club Idea. To have five students pose as their own fashion style and point out what article of clothing is trendy, where you could find it and for how much. I faced the predicament of who I should use for the photo, and we were so crunched for time I felt overwhelmed. However I stilled face some delays with the students one of them wasn’t present for the first photo so he had to be Cobbed in. Since I was still behind they moved it from being my deadline four to my deadline five. While I waited for the dominant photo I worked on the body copy, and multiple mods. The Tweet Much mod was the most difficult since I had to actually find students who tweeted out started pack from the previous month. Eventually I finished the page and was satisfied with the end result. What I like most about the spread is how fun but professional it looks. The dominant photo isn’t just a great picture but it’s also revealing information you wouldn’t get with a regular dominant photo.

A long-lived trend was the ever-present Converse sneakers, best known as Chuck Taylors, which were all made in America. Boys and girls alike wore this decades-old style with jeans, skirts, leggings or shorts. It was one trend that spanned across socioeconomic and gender boundaries. Clothing style was not the only fad to spread. Boys sported the “fade-in” haircut, a reprised style from the 80’s. To achieve this, a stylist buzzed one’s hair at the neckline and left a traditional hair length on top of the head. While these fashion trends could be seen throughout the campus, Twitter starter packs dominated social media. To create one, the user chose four photos that depicted the requirements to be a person, place, thing or a part of an organization (see below). In all, while the trends seen at school varied from lifestyle to lifestyle, the commonalities were present.

Throughout the campus, trends were current. Whether they were the most popular item on social media, clothing or an accessory, students had varied interpretations of them. An increasingly popular trend was wearing items Made in America. Vineyard Vines, with its trademark whale logo, was a clothing line from Massachusetts associated with preppy, coastal living style. Throughout the campus one could see the colorful shorts and shirts. To accessorize outfits, girls wore Alex and Ani bracelets, earrings and necklaces. The American brand focused on sustainability, with the essential idea of people caring about the well-being of the planet. Using other companies’ scrap metals, Alex and Ani Jewelry helped reduce waste and allowed wearers to feel good about helping the environment. There were over 700 bracelets and charms to choose from, ranging from special interests to holidays. Priced from $28 and up, teens felt they were an affordable fashion option.

Reflection 3 The naive girl from last year would be pleasantly surprised by her future self. Because of yearbook I have learned valuable skills I wouldn’t have learned anywhere else. I have learned to take responsibility for my actions and work efficiently. Last year I was a procrastinator, I was slow when it came to working and I always had an excuse as to why I didn’t do it. Before our first deadline we had to sell advertisements, my first year I didn’t sell any, then this previous year I sold one half ad for Johnny’s Fill n’ Station. With Deadlines last I didn’t make a single one which was stressful for the EICs and the advisor then with this year I made most of the deadlines with the exception of two or three. My photography, I feel, isn’t as creative as last year, even though on most of my pages some of the photography is mine however, I spent more time working on the spread itself rather than the photos. My designs are better as well as my writing and efficiency. My quality of work is better, last year there were deadlines were other editors had to pick up my slack and finish either the design or copy. This year, with the exception off deadline seven, I finished my deadlines without needing editors to do much.

McMillen worked to enhance the campus’ condition
In 2006, alumni Margaret McMillen began her tenure as the new principal. For the next nine years, she added classes, oversaw building renovations and became involved in the lives of not only the teachers and faculty, but students as well. Although McMillen had previous administrative duties at Maitland and Lockhart middle schools, her first year as principal was a tedious task. She managed three times the budget of a normal middle school while she juggled multiple school activities and familiarized herself with the various support systems. “There were wonderful people here at Boone who helped me get settled in and figure it all out, and kept me going in the right direction,” McMillen said. When McMillen was a student, from 1963 to 1966, she noticed the lack of performing arts classes. As principal, she added orchestra and guitar classes. She also strove to improve the auditorium facilities where the program needed it. “When it’s time for a performance, we want our drama department to have the best in lighting and sound equipment. We want our band and chorus to have a huge stage where they can all be and invite all their friends to have a seat, because right
now we can only fit one grade level in the auditorium at a time,” McMillen said. “I can remember being at concerts in the auditorium where I thought the front row of the band kids might fall off the edge of the stage because the stage isn’t big enough.” In addition to the auditorium’s needs, she wanted to modernize technology. To fund these changes, the school entered the 2012, 2013 and 2014 State Farm Celebrate My Drive contests and has collectively won $150,000. The money went towards technology like Ladybug projectors, iPads, laptop carts and a new computer lab in the media center. “[When] we won [the money] from State Farm, that was an amazing thing, but I’m not the one who called and voted everyday and went online. It was lots of people getting on board and wanting to support our school. That’s the thing I’m most proud of–that I’ve been apart of a whole school community,” McMillen said. Furthermore, she encouraged subject teachers to work together to ensure all students receive similar tests, homework assignments and projects to create an equal learning environment. “Being an A school [is one of my favorite memories].

ensure a top quality education at Boone,” McMillen said. McMillen worked to positively impact the lives of students; one such student was senior Ashley Cintron, a member of the school’s Concert Choir. “She asked me to sing the National Anthem for the Color Run and this doctor’s convention [and] ever since we’ve been friends,” Cintron said. “She [encourages] me to go out there and sing for organizations.” Throughout the past nine years, McMillen aimed to preserve the traditions she valued and experienced during her time at the school, like uphold the Senior Snake, spirit week and Battle of the Barrel. “[She has] a special respect for the traditions and I would hope that anybody who follows her would realize the importance of the Boone community and keeping up our traditions,” secretary Debra Wiley said. After retirement, McMillen hoped she would leave a lasting impression. “[I want to be remembered by how] I cared about our kids, teachers and Boone’s tradition for excellence,” McMillen said. | content by erik dethlefs and hanna wilson

Even with determination and a skilled crew, the process to achieve the finished product was a tedious journey. “Working around the difficulties and finding different ways to create things really helps us in the long run,” Dierksen said. The goal of the dress rehearsal was to perfect the performance. However, lighting difficulties, like incorrect cues, kept them from completing it. “I was stressed to the max and a little scared [because we were unprepared],” Dierksen said. In the end, every show received a standing ovation from the audience. “The reaction of the audience and seeing everything come together [was my proudest moment]. I had goose bumps and this overwhelming sense of euphoria; it made all the issues we encountered worth it,” Dierksen said.
conquers complications
technicians created a show to remember
From stress-induced tears to uncontrollable laughter, theater students invested their time into the production of Almost, Maine, a romantic comedy, presented Oct. 9 to Oct. 11. Through the production process, junior Brianne Dierksen, assistant technical director, oversaw aspects of the show such as lighting and sound, to help execute the director’s vision of every scene. As part of her job, she chose the right color gels to affect a scene’s mood. “There was lighting to figure out [like] what gels and gobos, we needed and then we had to cut the gel,” Dierksen said “I hate cutting gels because they’re thick and I always cut them wrong.” Dierksen and the tech crew encountered issues with the snow machines during rehearsals, but fixed it for opening night; however, the problem arose again during the Saturday matinee. “[I got through it with] hard work and fighting back tears,” Dierksen said.

plans for the entrance, cafeteria, courtyard and gym then discussed where the decorations would be most appealing and noticeable to students. “[My favorite decoration was] the entrance way made of guitar heads,” Wood said. With an already busy homework schedule, it was difficult for Wood to find time to plan the Braves Brawl class skit in addition to preparing the decorations. “I had some great help from the officers. We all carried [out] our jobs and responsibilities. The motivation to [setup] homecoming and to get the work done [got me through it],” Wood said. All of her work during setup made homecoming more memorable for Wood. “Getting to work with our council members and seeing them involved more [was the most rewarding part],” Wood said. “Homecoming is one of the few times to involve the council; it’s a great opportunity to see them contribute to homecoming.” In the end, Wood was proud of the homecoming committee’s work. “I was very happy to see the final product. [It was] better than we imagined it [would] be,” Wood said. “It was nice to enjoy the final look.”

With the colorful strobe lights, lively music and spray-painted balloons, the “Red, Hot and Boone” themed homecoming dance was restless until the final song on Oct. 18. The Student Government Association met on Aug. 14, to discuss the theme for the upcoming October dance. Each class suggested their idea and the student council voted for the best one. Originally, the student body entered a rave theme as their suggestion, but after much debate over whether it was appropriate enough, the council decided to generalize it into “Red, Hot and Boone.” “We went with ‘Red, Hot and Boone’ since it sounds like the popular music festival [Red Hot and Boom],” Junior Class secretary Kendall Wood said. “I was really excited about the theme because it was really modern. It was [also] unusual because the student council [suggested it] instead of the classes.” Wood and the other Junior Class Council members were in charge of hiring caterers, selecting a menu, scheduling the live acts and setting up the decorations. “We wanted to create a rave or concert-like atmosphere, so we went with bright lights and colors,” Wood said.

A long-lived trend was the ever-present Converse sneakers, best known as Chuck Taylors, which were all made in America. Boys and girls alike wore this decades-old style with jeans, skirts, leggings or shorts. It was one trend that spanned across socioeconomic and gender boundaries. Clothing style was not the only fad to spread. Boys sported the “fade-in” haircut, a reprised style from the 80’s. To achieve this, a stylist buzzed one’s hair at the neckline and left a traditional hair length on top of the head. While these fashion trends could be seen throughout the campus, Twitter starter packs dominated social media. To create one, the user chose four photos that depicted the requirements to be a person, place, thing or a part of an organization (see below). In all, while the trends seen at school varied from lifestyle to lifestyle, the commonalities were present.

Throughout the campus, trends were current. Whether they were the most popular item on social media, clothing or an accessory, students had varied interpretations of them. An increasingly popular trend was wearing items Made in America. Vineyard Vines, with its trademark whale logo, was a clothing line from Massachusetts associated with preppy, coastal living style. Throughout the campus one could see the colorful shorts and shirts. To accessorize outfits, girls wore Alex and Ani bracelets, earrings and necklaces. The American brand focused on sustainability, with the essential idea of people caring about the well-being of the planet. Using other companies’ scrap metals, Alex and Ani Jewelry helped reduce waste and allowed wearers to feel good about helping the environment. There were over 700 bracelets and charms to choose from, ranging from special interests to holidays. Priced from $28 and up, teens felt they were an affordable fashion option.

At 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 14, club members, student athletes and parents participated in the Reservation Run. In all there were 856 registrants in the seventh annual event. Participants could choose to be a chipped or non-chipped runner. The former had the opportunity to win a medal and bragging rights. Senior Ryan Harding, who ran for the track team, was the student first place finisher, running the 5K in 17:08. “I enjoyed chasing the police officer on the motorcycle pacing me. My whole thought process was just catching up to him,” Harding said. “[Winning] was pretty cool. I’ve never actually won a 5K. It was kind of anti-climatic because I got done so early nobody was expecting me yet.” According to Athletics Director Douglas Patterson, the Reservation Run raises money for the Boone High School Athletic Association to help assist the teams’ financial needs, while also being a fundraiser for the teams and clubs who participated. “[Students should participate in the Reservation Run] to have fun. [It is] a great event that supports every club and organization,” Patterson

said. For every person who registered, the club or sport they marked on their form received half of the registration amount. BHSAA also raised additional funds through corporate sponsorships. “The goal of the Reservation Run is to have as many participants as possible and try to help every club and organization,” Patterson said. The top three groups who earned bonus funds were girls soccer for the most registered partipants with 100, boys lacrosse for raising the most funds and Bravettes for having 100 percent participation. Each organization had a different motivation for participating in the fundraiser. Whether they were using the funds for a banquet, uniforms, camps or equipment, every coach and club sponsor encouraged their athletes and members to register. “[The Reservation Run was] a really cool activity to help unite the community and meet a lot of people,” Harding said. “[Running in the race] was required being apart of the track team, but I enjoyed running in the 5K too.”

With a new, optimistic attitude, the team won their next 18 games. “[The St. Cloud game was the most successful game because] we were winning, then they came back to tie us, then we came back and won it,” Sexton said. “Whoever wants it more wins it, and we definitely wanted it more.” The team was up, 4-1, until the seventh inning when St. Cloud took the lead, 4-5. Sexton and freshman Lara Dusing were on base, when sophomore Rachel Lopez hit a double, allowing Sexton and Dusing to score, winning the game, 6-5. “It really didn’t matter if we won or not as long as we played the best we could. But when we won with that comeback, we realized that we can do anything,” Sexton said. In short, the softball team overcame their weaknesses with their extra effort and focus in practice. “To me, it wasn’t all about winning,” Sexton said. “It was about us trying our hardest. Winning was just a plus.”

Tensions were high as the softball team had yet to score a run against the West Orange warriors after four innings. Their 11 point deficit at the bottom of the fourth inning resulted in a 10-run rule game end, marking their first loss of the season and shattering the girls’ hopes of a perfect season record. “The pressure [was challenging in the West Orange game] because, when you have a lot of pressure, it’s hard to play your best. You might mess up, so I had to try to overcome that,” junior Meghan Sexton said. Nonetheless, their first loss of the season did not shake their confidence. “It took a while [to overcome the loss], but we just talked and got [over it]. We kept on saying, ‘Don’t worry, they don’t know what’s coming to them next time when we [play] them’,” Sexton said. To continue to improve, the team discussed previous games and reviewed what they could improve. “We just had a lot of practices where we worked on our weaknesses [in batting], which we overcame,” Sexton said.

When it sounded, she rushed to her car to escape to her favorite hangout, the Dandelion Communitea Cafe. “[My favorite place to hang out is] the Dandelion Communitea Cafe because I really like the atmosphere, the food is really good, and they have fun events such as live music and art shows,” Edwards said. Not only did the Dandelion Cafe present Edwards with a place to have fun, but it was also somewhere she could do school work without distractions.

“I prefer to do homework in restaurants [because] I feel like I’m more focused. Restaurants have a better atmosphere for studying than being at home,” Edwards said. After spending seven hours at school, Edwards also found that time spent at the cafe helped her release the pressure and weight of responsibilities and school work. “School can be really stressful, so [having a place to hang out] is a good way to unwind,” Edwards said. Other places students found to spend time at were Panera, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, McDonalds and Tijuana Flats.
According to a poll taken on Oct. 21, 358 students said they preferred Chick-fil-A. “[I think people prefer restaurants over other places] because we are teenagers and we enjoy food,” Edwards said. These frequently visited locations supplied students with places to study, have fun with friends and they established ways to spend free time. “[These hangouts] provide things to do for the kids and they keep them from being bored or getting into any risky behavior,” Edwards said. | content and design by grace asbury and mary grace burkett

Music festivals, like Coachella, inspired the homecoming week theme, “Red Hot and Boone.” “[The theme] was a last minute idea.
