A fresh start

91 days of school left, but first second semester How do you feel about second semester?

What could go wrong on the first day of the new semester?

1.You leave the only pencil you can write with at home.

2.You spill water on your upper thigh area.

“It’s a good thing “Second semester because we meet new should be stress free people and the class everyone starts off moods change,” with all As,” junior junior Julian Vanessa Monetti Emunah said. said. story/ E. Monetti & R. Tree Block 1: New teachers, new classmates, and new room. Get ready, second semester has started. “You should normally get what classes you wanted unless you didn’t sign up for the classes, then it’s up to us and we just put kids in classes that are available, classes fill up fast,” scheduler Sharon Link said. The important thing is to make sure you are on top of your schedule and if you see something that you feel could be changed ask the schedulers to see if they could do something about it.

Block 2: “Seconds semester schedules are already done in the beginning of the school year” scheduler Vicki Tyler- McConnell said.

Kids g e t a n noyed when they a r e put in a class they d o n’t like, the main reason that may be is because they didn’t carefully fill out what they wanted in their schedule.

Block 3: Changes in teachers can affect students, students might change teachers if they

Algebra II teacher Ms. Nemmers said.

Advisory: The only classes that are usually changed are electives and if you see

Don’t worry if you don’t have any of your closest friends in the class, we all know that tragic feeling.

3.You trip over a paper in the classroom.

4.You get the teacher who you haven’t liked since 1st day of school.

something that you don’t like go to the schedulers and get that changed before it’s too late. Core classes like English, math, and science, stay the same for students. Which makes changing semesters not that bad.

Block 4: Don’t worry if you don’t have any of your closest friends in the class, we all know that tragic feeling we get when we don’t see our best friend in our class. Be open to new students and teachers.

Second semester gives you a fresh start and take advantage of that turn in all assignments and make sure you’re on top of your grades.

Block 5: Changing

semesters can be nerve wracking and stressful for students. It feels like the school year is starting all over again, but just changing a few classes and maybe changing their class blocks.

Block 6: Students grade might even have a change because they’re in a class they don’t like as much as their first semester classes. Students might become better because they’re in a class now that they now understand better and enjoy it more. It can go either way.

Scarlet Ambassadors

For the service of humanity

@EastAmbassadors

Story/ Malesa Naovarath

A new program has been introduced to East High. Scarlet Ambassadors allows students who have great leadership skills to make a difference in the community.

The program was introduced in the Spring semester of 2014. The class is not the traditional academic based class, it lets creativity flow around. Scarlet Ambassadors search for problems they can address and they try to improve the situation. Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Link saw the leadership potential that East students possessed and wanted to help those students reach their full potential. It was a long process to bring an ambassador program to East, the idea came from surrounding schools like Lincoln and Central Campus.

The two ambassador teachers, Ms. Williamson and Ms. Niemeyer, were perfect for the job and they worked hard to make this a success.

To become an ambassador you must get recommended by a staff member and you must have good attendance. Not many students know about Scarlet Ambassadors or have not clue what Scarlet Ambassadors do.

The Scarlet Market and the refacing of the courtyards are past projects, the ambassadors also made care packages for a youth homeless shelter that is located near East. They also teamed up with Pep E club to run the pep assembly for the football game against Lincoln and they lso help make the winter assembly possible. This year the ambassadors reached out to the ELL program at East and each ELL student was partnered up with an ambassador. The ambassadors help the ELL students adjust to the new country.

Many teachers like the positivity that the Ambassadors brings and the change that they make.

MOVEMENT MOVEMENT 515 515 Time Time to to get get free. free.

“Everybody in the 515, Put your hands up high ‘cause it’s about to get live!” story/Echo Kermoade And that’s exactly what it intends to do every time. Last performance of Movement 515 took place at the Euclid Room here in Des Moines, Iowa and triggered tears from the whole audience.

Movement 515 offers a safe place for teens to come together to share their experiences and skills of performing spoken word. The stage is the platform of freedom for most kids and gives them a voice.

“515 is a safe and brave space for all youth to share their

stories and speak up and out about issues that matter,” Urban Arts Coordinator for Des Moines Public Schools Emily Lang said.

Emily Lang is the co-founder of runDSM, a youth activist organization that has offered kids all over the DMPS district to get free.

Lang teamed up with Kristopher Rollins, another co-founder of runDSM, to become a part of Brave New Voices, an International Poetry Festival, to let the kids of the Des Moines community be heard by a bigger audience.

“It’s a wonderful program that gives a platform to those who need to share their story,” Junior and representative of Movement 515 from North

Pages Editor/ Echo Kermoade

High School Rasshaun Johnson said.

Johnson grew up in Des Moines and has been an active member of Movement 515 since eighth grade. He was one of the few to go on a trip to Philadelphia and share his journey.

“We really work hard to impact other lives and give a voice to the voiceless...It’s not easy being a poet.

It takes passion doing everything for the right reasons,” Johnson said.

The objective of Movement 515 has been to unite the community and create a family.

“Our goal is to bring students from all walks of life together to discuss issues of social justice and our own stories...It’s a family,” Emily Lang said.

If you’d like to be a part of this growing program, Move-

ment 515 meets at East on Tuesdays after school or at the Des Moines Social Club on Thursday after school.

Come and support as the students of Urban Leadership at Central Campus are planning the Second Annual Teen Summit that will be held at the Des Moines Social Club on Jan. 30-31. Anyone is invited to the performance portion on Saturday, Jan. 31 from 2-4 in the Kum & Go Theater located next to the Social Club. Also, the 3rd Annual Des Moines Teen Poetry Slam will be on Thursday, April 23 at the Temple for Performing Arts. This slam determines the 6 poets that are going to represent Des Moines at Brave New Voices 2015 in Atlanta.

Words of impact

“You expect to find yourself,” junior Montesha Carter said.

“Makes you think,” junior Zach Stemsrud said.

“Made me realize how different people’s lives are,” junior Kesley Vail said.

When you hear the word Mars Cafe you would assume its a cafe with the theme of star ships or planets and space.

When you walk in its a stylish classy environment. The walls are filled with amazing modern art. But all the decor in the world cant make coffee like Page Editor/ Jordan Van Gundy

Tired of your main stream cafes and frappes? Well, try these “HOT” coffee bars.

They are sure to keep you warm during your pre spring time blues. When you’re feeling the chill and need something hot to keep you company, have a large cup of coffee from one of your local coffee shops.

Mars. Every cafe has their flavor and tastes that make them who they are.

When it comes to the mochas and the main stream coffees. These guys do it great. An “Americano” a coffee that I think is great with some creamer and some sugar. I’ve had this coffee at

many other coffee establishments and I have to say I like Mars the best.

But they have more than coffee they have Italian soda, a few smoothies. All around this is a great place I have not seen it yet empty, there are always people chilling enjoying the decor with some

thing from their menu. I highly suggest this cafe, the price is very fair. On some items I have felt like I’m getting a steal. It’s is good to support your community businesses.

So, make sure to stop in to this hot of cup coffee.

East weighs in on tough topics Do you believe Officer Darren Wilson should have been indicted?

Have you ever felt discriminated against?

photo / Brian Chang

On August 9, 2014 a teen in Ferguson was shot down by an officer six times in multiple areas. Ferguson police department got a call about a robbery at a local QuikTrip describing two black males. Officer Wilson responded to the dispatch. That’s when the incident happens. Though one says it was out of defense, witness say it was because of racism and some simply do not know what happened. No one was indicted in the killing of unarmed teenager Mike Brown.

On July 17, 2014 Eric Garner was held in a choke hold by a NYPD officer in Staten Island. Garner was selling untaxed cigarettes on the streets and a police officer was called. The police approached Garner and put him in an illegal choke hold, killing Garner. After the incident, he repeatedly says that Garner was resisting arrest. No one was indicted in the killing of Eric Garner.

Officer Powers and Officer Miller often see repeat ofenders while working their beat.

“Some of these people have a mental illnesses (and), juviniles especially, sometimes don’t have the resources,” Officer Powers said.

“Seeing people physically or emotionally hurt,” Senior Officer Cherly Nablo said when asked what the hardest part of her job was. Many aspects of being a police officer differ from the public’s expectations. Sometime officers must fill many different roles, including mediater, counsoler, animal control, and sometime all they can do is listen and assure someone that everything will be okay.

“We’re human too, we have families who love us and we want to go home to our families.

Sometimes people forget that.

There are things we don’t want to do but we have to.” Seargant Kalar said. “Most officers are good people who risk their lives to protect the citizens they serve...

Why are we rewarded for acting our age? story/ Jorge Gutierrez

If mailmen were to be rewarded a new Ford Focus every year they delivered mail, I’d like to become a mailman, but they don’t. Delivering mail is their job. It’s what mailmen are expected to do. So, why is it that at East High School, we reward students for things they are supposed to do?

The students themselves decide whether they want

to have a succesful school career or not. If they seek success, they will be determined and motivated towards accomplishing what’s expected.

Meanwhile, if the student does not care then it will be shown through their grades, participation, and attendance.

“We’re rewarded like dogs, the (BeEast) cards are our dog treats” sopho-

more Gil Gonzalez said. A pat on the back is helpful.

That “you’re doing a good job” can make a difference but don’t be expecting that 20 years from now when you’re sitting in your cubicle with 50 reports to complete.

“The (BeEast) cards are a waste of paper,” sophomore Julisa Heredia said These are a little more than a tempo-

rary bliss that you gain but for most students, these cards have turned into a joke. BeEast cards are handed out for bringing supplies, for attending class, and for acting respectful but if you cannot achieve these requirements on your own then do us all a favor and reevaluate your life choices.

Be respectful. Put in effort.

Set your priorities straight. Make each day worthwhile.

Plan ahead. Make goals for yourself.

We, the students, are responsible for where we end up in 20 years. We have to motivate each other, we have to be there for each other. We should want to see each other succeed. This is our opportunity and we should take full advantage.

Anonymous @HEALTHPLZ_ 36m What do you do to prevent yourself from getting sick?

Dear Echo, @DearEcho 34m

East High School’s advice column

It is a crucial time of year for getting sick. I would reccomend keeping drinks and food to yourself, do not get too comfortable with sharing (it’s not always caring). Also, watch what you are eating and drinking and cooperate exercise.

It’s easy to become depressed or sick in the winter when you have a lack of activity. Because it is cold, wear a coat and avoid being outside for too long.

And as usual, be courteous and cover when you cough/sneeze and wash your hands!

Anonymous @Nervous_ 44m I want to have a date for winter formal, but how do I ask someone?

Dear Echo, @DearEcho 41m There are tons of different ways you can ask someone to a dance. Depending on the season (this happens to be winter), you can be creative and find something outside the house that is festive to surprise her with. You can make a collage of pictures and form them into words, you can use lights or candles to spell out the question. You should try and find out what this person is interested in and cooperate that into your proposal. Some girls are into flowers, coffee, music, and yes, food. Some guys are into music, football, comics, cars, and yes, food. Goodluck on whatever you decide :)

@DearEcho

Anonymous @GettingAhead_ 53m What are some ways I can get ahead for second semester?

Dear Echo, @DearEcho 50m I would go on a cleaning spree and get rid of anything from first semester that you don’t need. You’d be surprised how much it helps you stay organized. Also, set goals to stay on top of homework and get any help from your teachers. Perhaps buy a planner of some sort to keep track of your work.

Anonymous @iCare_ 57m I wasn’t able to get presents for everyone this Christmas, how do I show them I still care?

Dear Echo, @DearEcho 54m Money is tight in many homes around the world during the winter season so don’t feel so bad. It is nice of you to want to show the people you love that you are thinking of them. This is a charitable time of year and it is common that people buy presents and exchange with each other. But yes, money is limited. I definitely wasn’t able to buy presents for all my friends and family, but a way I would choose to show that I care is to write them a note or send them a card. Words are followed by actions and to go out of your way to just send a card with a heart-felt message means a lot. Plus, if they were someone worth buying a present for, they will understand why you just simply can’t. The little things matter most. Gestures like this will have a greater impact on that person more than you know.

Always on the move Late nights, taping, stretching, rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions, and continuously being there for the need of an athlete while still cheering the team on. That is exactly what the new certified Athletic Trainer Samantha Brough has to do almost every night of the week. Being an Athletic Trainer is a huge role to take on, especially at a high school.

“A difficult thing about my job would be the late hours and time management,” Brough said. Just imagine constant running back and forth all of the time. There isn’t really any down time when it comes to this job because an athletes health and condition is very important.

Brough is from Kansas City, Missouri.

When she was in high school she looked up to her high school Athletic Trainer which played a role on why she wanted the occupation she has

now, but that isn’t the only reason.

“My Athletic Trainer in high school helped me a lot and I love sports and medicine so being an Athletic Trainer is a great way to take everything I love and

turn it into a career,” Brough said. When she got a little older, she finally decided that is what she wanted to do as a career. She majored in Athletic Training for four years at Simpson College. After col-

lege Brough worked at Indianola Middle school and filled in as a substitute trainer. She also worked with the woman’s Menace soccer team. Now, Brough is filling in the shoes of the new East High

School Athletic Trainer and working for the company Physiotherapy Associates after the last Athletic Trainer, Kevin Peterson left.

“Samantha is doing an excellent job and accommodating herself and helping the kids,” Athletic Director Lyle Fedders said. Brough is constantly on the move and is always working with student athletes.

She enjoys helping others and even with her busy schedule she still never gets tired of working with them.

“My favorite thing about my job would be the people. I like working with the students because they are funny and have amazing personalities. Last but not least, I love figuring out the puzzle of what is wrong with someone,” Brough said. You can clearly tell Sam loves her job because she always has a smile on her face. No matter what, she continues to help every athlete of every sport that needs her.

From a different perspective

“In wrestling you only get a certain amount of blood time, so if a person starts to bleed and they run out of time they are disqualified. At the meet, two kids head butt each other and then the one that was up by two points started bleeding out of both nostrils and had a gash on his forehead. There was a lot of pressure and it was a big deal for me to get him to stop bleeding because he was winning and it was the championship of the tournament. I proceeded to put a cotton ball in one nostril but the other nostril started to bleed more. It was crazy because he was bleeding everywhere but it eventually stopped and he won,” Brough said.

Meet the new coach Boys swimming: Operation Temple

story/ Matthew Buchacker

Here’s your guy’s goggles, suits, kickboards and a new coach? Jessica Temple who is a Spanish teacher at Goodrell Middle School was picked

by Coach Cassler to be the new assistant coach this year. This is the third assistant coach in three years. Last year Eric Galvin, also a teacher at Goodrell Middle School, served as an assistant. “She knows the sport very well and we compliment each other nicely,” Coach Cassler said.

Temple was a swimmer for 10 years before she became a coach, and has been a coach for six years.

In those six years she coached in Kearney, Missouri for a high school. She coached many rec. teams in Kansas City. She is

currently a coach at DMSF (Des Moines Swim Federation) and East high.

Temple didn’t know much about the boys swim team prior before being a coach.

So far she likes being a coach at East high.

“It’s a very positive environment,” Temple said.

Coach Temple has a positive impact on the team due to her knowledge of the sport and the skills of coaching. “She is nice and encouraging..” freshman Chris Trevino said.

Temple became a coach because of her love and passion for the sport, and enjoys seeing kids accomplish their goals.

“She was the most qualified for the job and seemed like the best fit,” Coach

“She has helped me a lot this year.”

Many people may think it’s weird for there to be a female coach for a mens sport like swimming.

“I have girl coaches at CIA, it’s not that weird,” sophomore Chase Ballard said.

There are women

coaches in every sport but not a lot for swimming.

“Different not weird, we have to have more of a filter at practice now,” junior Ross welsher said.

Temple has brought many things to the boys swim team so far this year and hopefully she brings much to come the rest of the season and years later.
