For senior Gabby Kline, summer is defined by family vacations at Lake Ogenaw in West Branch, Michigan. “Going up to Lake Ogenaw is what my family has done for as long as I can remember,” Kline said. “The entire Kline family goes up there, and I just love being surrounded by family and the memories we have created there.” Kline spends her summers relaxing beside the lake and participating in other activities with her family. “While we are up there, we go tubing, go out on boats, lay out by the lake, watch the Detroit Tigers and do lots of fishing,” Kline said. “I love it because it is so relaxing and there is nothing to worry about.” Not all students have a lakeside paradise like Kline. Some spent their summers training for their upcoming sports seasons and others went on college visits. Junior Riley Moore spent much of her summer hard at work. “I spent most of August working at my new job at Panera,” Moore said. “While I love my job, I wish I could have spent a little more time at the beach this summer.”

I Wish I Would’ve Known...
Athletics, grades and procrastination top the list of common misconceptions students had as they entered high school By Torrey Christopher | Editor-in-cheif “I would’ve liked to have known that sports are a lot more intense in high school. They are very time consuming and hard to adjust to. I wish I knew how hard it was to keep up with homework and do a sport.” - Sophomore Tyler Reish
“I wish I would’ve known not to be afraid of taking harder classes. If you don’t and you’re capable you might wish you did. Colleges look for rigorous schedules.” - Senior Emily Bemis
“I wish I would’ve understood the work load. You should plan ahead for tests and quizzes and they are harder than in middle school.” - Junior Nathan Brown
“I wish I would’ve known not to sweat the little things. It’s not worth it.” - Junior Kat Hiller
“I wish I would’ve know not to procrastinate. Otherwise you are up all night doing projects.” - Senior Ross Person
HIGH SCHOOL IS NOT LIKE THE MOVIES By Shealyn Mandle
Alexis Kelly | Photographer
WRITER
Do not worry, on Wednesdays you do not have to wear pink. As you are walking to class you will not get yanked into the bathroom and have your head shoved in a toilet. You probably will not see a musical being performed by a couple in love in the middle of the cafeteria. As the eighth grade students’ freshman year arrives, they anticipate what their first day of high school will be like. As people who have already experienced high school know, it is not like the movies. We do not sing and dance on top of tables during our lunch period. We do not see big tough guys pushing geeks against the lockers and taking their lunch money. We definitely do not see mean girls walking slow motion down the hallway in a triangle formation causing people to drop their jaws. “In the movies, it seems like there is one person ruling the school,” sophomore Kendall Nash said. “It is not actually like that. As long as you have friends to depend on, you will be fine.” Walking from class to class the majority of kids just visit a friend at their locker or just walk to their next class. Not very much happens like extremely dramatic fighting or romantic scenes. “Passing time in movies always seem like it is 20 minutes long and you have time to do anything,” sophomore Leah Lynch said. “In real life, you just get your things and walk to the next class.” In high school, there are couples who stand in the hall way and act like it’s the end of the world because they will not see each other for a whole class period. However, dating in real life is much different. “It is not that easy to pick up girls,” senior Adam Fulton said. “In the movies, they go on all these cool dates and make it really formal, but it is not like that.” All movies have the popular group: jocks, losers, goths and geeks. In real life, there are no specific posses that sit in completely separate sides of the room. “In high school, the cliques are not as prominent,” sophomore Hope Dagenais said. “In movies, it seems like groups are more defined as social classes by the most popular and preppy to the least but really we all just have our own groups of friends.”
“I wish I would’ve known that procrastination is bad. You get behind on your stuff and your grades can drop drastically. It’s hard to bring them back.” - Sophomore Sarah Cummings

1. Dress for Success Dressing for the job is one of the best ways to actually get the job. Looking the part can help lead you to success in school. Feeling great about yourself is a boost to your confidence and will help you throughout high school. Dressing fly will boost ones self-esteem and help one prepare for the school year ahead.
2. Take Advantage of Opportunities High school is just a small portion of one’s life. Before you know it, it can pass by and leave you thinking, “did I take advantage of all my opportunities?” Before the opportunities are gone, take advantage by getting involved in sports and extracurricular activities.
3. Use your Planner Using your planner can be an effective way to manage the stress of high school. Keeping track of important test dates, due dates and other activities will help keep one organized and relaxed.
10 High School
Things to Know About By Hudson Villeneuve WRITER
4. Buy Extra Pencils in the Media Center Often times, students find themselves without a pencil or pen in class; or maybe a student has even lost a pair of headphones. If you find yourself in this situation, the media center sells items such as these as well as many more useful supplies for low prices.
5. Learn to Walk During passing times, the school hallways can get pretty crowded. The number one thing to avoid is standing in the middle of the hall or square. Standing in the middle of the hallway causes clustering and slows walking speeds to almost a halt. People who cluster in the hallway tend to peeve people off. Remember, when stopping, stop at the side hallway and if you are not stopping move at regular pace.
Whether students are entering high school for the first time or returning for a fourth year, there are unwritten rules every one should know. Breaking these codes can result in an awkward 6. Learn the Building The building may be confusing to a new student, but it also can be confusing to a returning student. Classes move, and new unfamiliar class locations can puzzle students. In order to avoid getting lost in the building a student can map their daily route until they learn the building.
7. Be Aware of Bullying
Bullying can be an extremely dangerous problem. Spotting bullying before it develops into a serious problem is crucial to the safety of the student body. Learn to spot the signs of bullying before it gets out of hand.
8. Know Your Counselors
Suchowski’s Corner “My advice for students is to carry their planner as if it were a drivers license. Carry it everywhere with you and use it throughout the day. Write important test and due dates in it to remind you of them.”
The counselors are trained professionals. Counselors can help with social issues, scheduling problems and can provide you with scholarship information. Schedule an appointment with a counselor if you need assistance in any of these areas.
situation or much worse, complete isolation for the duration of the crime. Following these rules will help you become less stressed by assisting you in avoiding embarrassing situations. Rules such as where to walk in the hallways or how to buy supplies in the media center are essential. High school is a long journey, but when equipped with the right tools it can become an enjoyable experience.
9. Use SRT Wisely
Student Resource Time is a student’s time. Every other school day students are given the opportunity to work on assignments during school. If used correctly, SRT can greatly reduce the amount of stress a student has. Travel is another tool one can use during SRT. It allows students to make up tests or missing assignments. Travel is a great way to work with teachers or friends on projects. Using SRT can greatly benefit a student. Make sure to use it wisely.
10. Hide Your Gum
Opening a pack of gum in class can mean disaster for the student doing so. The owner of a freshly opened pack of gum can soon be surrounded by a herd of gum enthusiasts demanding a share. If you want your pack to last, make sure to discreetly open your gum in order to avoid a battle; save the remaining pieces.

Setting the Pace After attending camps and summer practices, fall varsity sports hope to dominate Metro League; earn points to bring home the All-Sports Trophy for 11th consecutive year By Cassidy Rourke Sports editor
Girls Swim & Dive

We practiced all summer long and went camping.” Last year’s record: 6-0-5 Next home contest: Sept. 5 vs. Midland Dow Coach Jones says: “The girls team is very talented again this year. We have six four-year seniors leading this year’s team. Add to that 13 very talented freshmen putting our roster around 35, up 10 from last year. Our goal this season will be to continue our undefeated streak. 2013 will be the tenth straight year in a row winning the Metro League title and going undefeated in league dual meet competition.”
Senior athlete comments: “I think we can be a very strong team this season and be one of the top three at leagues,” senior Emily Bemis said. “We have already shown a lot of pontential and we have a lot of new contributors.” Last year’s record: Boys - 5th Girls - 3rd Next home contest: Sept. 4 Coach Mills says: “We will be in the top three on the boys side but the younger runners need to step it up. They will be led by Jake Lee and Dominic Dimambro. For the girls we have some work to do, but I think we will be one of the top two teams. We are lacking experience, but I think we will suprise some people in the league. The girls will be led by Jenna Keiser and Danielle Hack.”
Cheerleading
Football
Senior athlete comments: “I think we will do really good; we’re all really excited for this season,” senior Mallory Lockwood said. “Over the summer, we had practice every day and we tumbled twice a week. We also went to cheer and stunt camp.” Next home contest: Sept. 6 at varsity football game Coach Hack says: “The girls have been practicing and conditioning since the beginning of June, and through the summer. They have increased their strength, flexibility, and tumble skills. They are very excited for football season, to cheer on our players with the rest of the community, and be leaders in school spirit. They are hoping to make a great impression on the crowd.”

Senior athlete comments: “We have some talent up top in the midfield. There has been some shifting around in positions, Coach Sullivan must have been testing out the players to see what may and may not work out,” senior Trevor Herrick said. “Over the summer, we did have some basic training indoor at the fieldhouse; we got our touches back.” Last year’s record: 11-5-2 Next home contest: Sept. 9 vs. Linden Coach Sullivan says: “I expect the team to build strong relationships and bond as brothers.

hether you like head banging to the pounding bass of Death Grips, or gently swaying to the sounds of Grizzly Bear, you’ll find what you want at a music festival. Some hold a theme of a specific genre while others have more variety, but none can deny the power of a well-organized music event. “This summer I saw Jake Shimabukuro at the Ark in Ann Arbor,” sophomore Max Herzog said. “It was well worth the price. Live music is always fantastic.” Some of the more well-known festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Coachella maintained the kind of variety people have come to expect at big festivals with bands ranging from The Cure to Two Chainz. The variety of these festivals can be a big selling point but more often then not, the location and price can be an issue. Traveling to Tennessee to attend Lollapalooza could be a once in a lifetime event. “I saw John Mayer and Phillips at DTE during the summer,” junior Nathan Brown said. “I considered going to The Common Ground Music Festival with AWOLNATION and MGMT, but the timing did not work out for me.” For some people, searching for a local gem could be tedious and sometimes unrewarding, but finding a good event at an affordable price was well worth the effort. Some notable Michigan music festivals were the Orion Music Festival and the Electric Forest Festival. While Orion was much cheaper than Electric Forest, both featured bands worth seeing and the benefit of them being in state was a big plus. “I went to the Orion Music Festival this summer and saw The Orwells, Foals, Death Grips, Silversun Pickups, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers,” senior Jack Pooler said. “The price was not too bad, especially considering the amount of music I got to hear and having it close by was really convenient.” If money and location were of no issue, there were some good out of country festivals worth considering. One well-known festival in the UK is the Isle of Wight Festival which featured such big names as The Killers, Bon Jovi and Ellie Goulding. A quick 10 hour flight from home could take you to another exciting festival: The Fuji Rock Festival in Naeba, Japan. The long distance may seem daunting, but with an impressive line up that included James Blake, Radiohead, Elvis Costello, Jack White, and Justice, it might have been worth it. Although music festivals can leave a viewer a little less rich, the experience of a full day of live music typically makes up for the empty wallet. Tickets can go on sale very early and sell fast, so next spring, do your research early and make the best out of your summer.
