as the school year comes to a close, the little moments were what made the big moments special. School is not a race from start to finish; it's about the little moments in between. It's about... the dash to class every morning, students hoping to slip in before the teacher marks you late, the community gathering together to support each other during Homecoming, the late night study sessions during the week of midterms, the roaring applause after six successful performances of "Anything Goes," the excitement in the crowd as Hun narrowly beats Lawrenceville in a basketball game, the rush to get bagels during community life...In a school year, a lot can happen in a short period of time. First convocation, then homecoming, midterms, winter break, spring break, prom...And then, before you know it, graduation

Mr. William McQuade dedication: presented by the student body
Where do you start when talking about a man who has dedicated over 46 years to the Hun community? It is hard to put to words what kind of impact Mr. Bill McQuade has had on this institution because his influence extends far beyond his distinguished resume. During his time at Hun, Mr. McQuade has done it all: Math Teacher, Math Department Chair, Baseball Coach, Head of the Upper School, and Assistant Headmaster of Administrative Projects. He has had his foot in almost every realm of Hun's culture and with each position, he has significantly impacted the students, faculty, and administration alike, leaving a legacy that is unparalleled. However, if you were to ask any student about Mr. McQuade, their admiration for him lies not in what his accomplishments are on paper but instead in the person he is and the lives that he has improved by caring. If you do not know him by name, you recognize him by his enthusiastic smile you see when you pass him in the hallway. His profoundly optimistic nature is what makes him a

mentor for many of the student athletes that he coached on the baseball team. He led the baseball team to seven state Prep championships and countless winning records. Mr. McQuade's specific attention to each player during practice helped lead them to success both on and off the field. For example, one player recalls that during batting practices, Mr. McQuade would pull players aside in the middle of their session to direct what they are doing; the player says, "he would pick out the wrong things you're doing and help you get better by explaining what to fix in a way that made sense." This mentoring improved their skill while also boosting their confidence. Players who have been fortunate enough to play under Mr. McQuade's leadership for the past four years, like Robert Huselid '16, recognize that he embodies the spirit of the team. Huselid said, "Coach McQuade has been one of the most consistently positive influences on me during my years at Hun. From dining halls to classrooms to the baseball diamond, Coach McQuade has always greeted me with a big grin
and one of his classic 'McQuadisrm' such as surf and turf,' 'what a day, what a day,' and his—and our—favorite 'Sweet one1' It was this culture of positivity that allowed me to feel comfortable becoming part of the varsity team during my freshman year. Regardless of whatever happened on the field I've felt as though Coach always cared about the person I was. I know that lesson will last with me long after I forget Hun's bunt defense " Throughout his coaching career, Mr McQuade embodied all the qualities of a good leader. His commitment to the game and encouraging attitude during practices were vital keys to the team's success over the years. His impact on the baseball team ran parallel to his affect on students within the classroom setting. There was a time when Mr. McQuade taught five math classes a day; since his change in position, there is a selective few that are privileged to engage with him as their teacher. His goodwill, warmth, and character are at the tenter of the classroom every time he teaches a lesson, Like he does on the field, Mr. McQuade takes the extra time
with student* m the class'oom. which ultimately boosts their confidence m their mathematical abilities Student Kylie Dtckinson "16 said, "Mr. McQuade does so much for students individually, which ultimately affected the whole school. He always was enthusiastic and excited to teach and would try to get everyone just as excited, though it's hard to get most 17 year olds screaming about calculus When I had my knee surgery, Mr. McQuade emailed me after to see how everything went and was very flexible with my make up work and taking my midterm He loves his job and this school and loves being around students in general." Mr McQuade's long tenure and commitment to Hun runs parallel with the grand amount of the lives that he has changed through putting his students and his players before himself With his profound character, he has truly changed the hearts, minds, and attitudes of the community over the past five decades. The student body wishes him all the best in his future years of retirement, with the hope that he will come back and show his infectious smile on campus every once in a while by Caroline

There is not a single person in this school who does not know Ms. Chmielewski. Whether you know her personally by name, or as the "lady who has the pretzels", everyone here can unanimously agree that the word "compassionate" cannot even come close to describing her genuine and kind nature. She is the one who provides the pick-me-ups that get students through their classes everyday; however, most people in the community do not know that she provides these snacks herself out of the generosity of her heart. And whether she knows you personally or has seen you wandering the
halls, she still greets every person around the school with the same genuine, bright smile that has not changed in all her years at Hun. These small acts of kindness are what makes Ms. Chmielewski so revered around the Hun community. One student, Meghan Ward, says, "She always has a bright smile on her face and a jar full of pretzels and other candies. She was a staple of my four years at Hun and always a friendly face. She does not have any classes to teach yet she knows every student's name and she greets everyone at the door and helps you with what you need. She also organizes so much for the
school that we take for granted. All I know is that these last four years would not be the same without her and her pretzels." She's always willing to help students in any way she can, and one bright smile from her is enough to make any student's day. Another senior, Maura Kelly, says, "Ms. Chmielewski has provided so much to the Hun community, whether it is through organizing school events or providing pretzels every day. When I think of her, I think of all the hard work and care she has put into Hun." Ms. Chmielewski truly puts the "heart" in the Heart of Hun. She represents the best of this community and
truly embodies the school's treasured values. For all the hard work and care that Ms. Chmielewski has put in for the student body and especially for the seniors, who all know little treats throughout the day is a big part of how they were able to get through their time at Hun, the Class of 2016 wishes to dedicate their yearbook to Ms. Alison Chmielewski. by Nicole Chan '16

COMMUNITY LIFE AHA PRIDE RADIATES OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM To an outsider, the phrase is rather minimal, contained within the
(
overarching perception of similar goals, attitudes, and qualities. To a Raider, this phrase has a different meaning. It immediately resonates with the little moments that happen between 2nd and 3rd period. Whether we are sprinting up to the dining hall to get one of the last plain bagels, meeting up with our peers at a club meeting, or playing an intense game of "STOP" in the Global Commons against our friends, we all have a routine way that we spend the period and we would all agree that these little l
moments spice up a rigorous academic day. However, "community life" is not just a part of our day, it's everywhere we look. Our individual charisma is what creates our strong sense of community; when we come together, we bring enthusiasm, and inspire each other in the process. Amidst the student section at basketball games, the crowds during homecoming games, and the dodgeball teams during house events, our true colors show. We wear the Raider shield proudly, knowing deep down that we all bleed red, and always will.

freshman bring their "a-game" to advisory Olympics ITS ALL FUN AND GAMES The girl leaned backwards just half an inch away from colliding into the hockey stick, which served as a limbo stick for the purpose of the 2015 Freshmen Advisory Olympic Games. Who thought limbo could be a liberating sport? Three people from Quill House were left in one advisory and one person from Edger House was left in the
other advisory. House points were on the line. Kendall Nehlig '19 said, "I felt a little nervous because I didn't want to [lose it all], but I was also excited because I had made it this far." Each round, the peer leaders lowered the stick to an impossible height. The Advisory Olympics was an experience that allowed the Class of 2019 to come together as a whole for the
first time. Nehlig added, It was a great opportunity to meet new people in your advisory and, for the Buck advisory to crush it." Everyone became familiar with their peers and advisory groups, which for the first time ever were organized by house. In the beginning, each freshman was put into one of the four houses: Quill, Gale, Edger, and Shield. Some of the

"I chose the Cultural Appropriation session because I feel that it is important to understand the difference between appropriation and appreciation, in order to avoid offending peoples' religion or culture." -Julie Dobkin '16

MAKING A DIFFERENCE "From lime to time, you have to find ways to make it real; to germinate the issue; to educate your neighbors, your friends, or an entire country", Congressman John Lewis emphasized during his speech to the Hun community Faculty and students read Congressman Lewis's graphic novels March 1 and March 2 as their all-school read. On October 6, 2015, Hun held its
first Raider Reads Day, a day celebrating the books, discussing topics of social justice and learning how to be an activist. Over summer break, each student and faculty were required to read the graphic novels, which recounted Congressman Lewis's experience during the civil rights movement. Readers not only read about his experiences, but the illustrations brought the words to life, displaying
his hardships and determination during this critical time in American history. The main event of the day was Congressman John Lewis's presence in the Breen Family Gymnasium along with his coauthor, Andrew Aydin and his graphic artist, Nate Powell. Inspiring words were said in the gym, as the students were convinced to never give up on what they believe in as well as what they love to do. Senior
Christopher lazzetta '16 said, "I really connected with Congressman John Lewis in that he had a dream and saw it through in face of adversity. As a whole, the day brought the community closer together and was a fun experience." By Sophia Davis'18 |

BLUE, RED, AND WHITE. The attack that happened in Paris made an impact on many people globally and also within the Hun community. Some students had connections to those who were affected and wanted to bring light to the situation here at Hun. The French club and Global Issues club collaborated to show sympathy to the victims and their loved ones. By wearing the blue, white, and re bbons students were able to exhibit their support. "I wanted to make a difference that would be impactful on Hun's community and the ribbons were a great way for one person to feel as though they were making a change," said Martin Caforio '18 In addition to wearing ribbons, students and faculty gathered at night outside the Global Commons for a candlelight vigil to show support not only for Paris, but also for all of the communities fighting terrible issues around world .

AWARENESS
HAFLE AT HUN Amidst a line of dancing students arid live music. Kara Borden '18 took a break from Middle Eastern dancing to indulge in some deltcious falafel, courtesy of the dining hall staff. She was amongst a large group of students that enjoyed delicious Middle Eastern food, live music, and dance lessons for a good cause. On November 5th, the Middle Eastern Society organized and presented an unforgettable event, Hafle at Hun, to raise money for the Syrian refugees, and, at the same time, to raise awareness of Middle Eastern culture. The dining hall was full of students, faculty, and families. Xinran Wu '16 said, "Once we stepped in the dining hall, we felt like we stepped into the Middle East because of the delicate decorations to the dining tables and the mellifluous, traditional Middle Eastern music performed by the live band. We were also served with authentic Middle Eastern food, which I had never tried before." In addition to the culture-filled night, Headmaster Jonathan

Brougham and Mr Tim Rogers, director of planned Giving of Save the Children, made speeches to remind everyone of the significance of awareness and competency on such issues like the Syrian refugee crisis He put circumstances in perspective by pointing out that, while everyone at the Hafle was enjoying incredible Middle Eastern food, innumerable children were suffering from the Crisis in Syria, and the money that the guests paid for this dinner was going to help these children The event finished up with a "dabke" dancing lesson People really enjoyed the dance, as it started as a circle, and unified the whole group As a whole, this event ended on a high note as it was a unique, valuable, and truly great way to raise money for the Syrian Refugees. Rv Xirurtn IVi; )6
Q: WHAT TRIGGERED THE MIDDLE EASTERN CLUB'S IDEA FOR THE HAFLE AT HUN FUNDRAISER? A We were having normal club meetings every day then the Syrian oppression was on the news, and we thought it was important for people to know, since not everyone in the U.S. knew what was going on internationally. Mrs. McNulty, who was in charge of the Community Service Club, had the idea to do a dinner to raise awareness.
1. EMERGED IN DANCE. Students took place in learning a traditional Dabke >ance. The dance is a folk dance performed at weddings and joyous occasions. Kara Borden '18 said, "It was really cool to be able to learn a traditional dance. It looked hard at first, but once I got the hang of it, I couldn't stop!" 2. LEARNING CULTURE. Cyrus Ettehadieh '16 listened intently as the Hafle started and background information was given about the culture and traditions of the Middle East 3. NEW CUISINES. A traditional food of the Middle East is Falafel. In order to get the full experience of the night, the dining staff prepared some for students to try. 4. DISCUSSING THE WORLD. A group of friends sat at the Hafle and enjoyed falafel along with other traditional foods. Katelle Donkor '18, pictured, said, "It was so cool to be able to try different foods from other regions that my friends are from. I got a taste of the way they live."
ON THE TOPIC OF HUMAN RIGHTS... "THERE ARE A LOT OF HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUES GOING ON NATIONWIDE TODAY. With many people's lives unstable, I feel extremely grateful to live in a country like America where I have rights. That being said, I think we, as a community and a nation, need to spread awareness." -Austin Harriott '16
Q: HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT STARTING TO PLAN THIS EVENT? A: The first step was to choose which organization we wanted to fund. Tasneem Ebrahim '16, Mohammed Hassan '16, and myself, chose "Save the Children", and we were able to make $2,200 to support them in total!
Q: WHAT DID YOU DO TO EMPHASI2E THE MIDDLE EASTERN CULTURE DURING THE DINNER? A: Mr. Soudah, the leader of the club, knew a Middle Eastern band that we asked to play. By the time we chose the food, we asked everyone in the club to choose their favorite foods and turned them into the dining hall staff to make. As for the dance portion, Mr. Soudah knew a professional dancer from Lebanon, who taught all of the students how to dance.

Hot off the snap, the ball flew into Abigail Gray '17's hands, as she searched the field for another Gale member to throw the ball to. With Edger House's defense forthcoming in the heat of the championship Powder Puff game, Gray had to make a decision, and quick! With a quick pump fake and throw, she made a wonderful pass to Natalie Davis '17 just before the opportunity closed. Hoping to see her hard work pay off and win Gale the game, Gray ran down the field cheering Davis as she headed to the end zone. With help from Sophia Sauma '16 and Clare Moloney '17,
Davis plunged down the end zone. Edger was no match for Gale as the 2015 Powder Puff game came to a close With Davis scoring the last touchdown of the game, the crowd erupted into cheers The win was a complete team effort, that paid off! After the game, Davis was asked to describe what helped Gale win this game; she answered, "Well, I think there was a series of plays where Abby was QB and Shannon Dargan '16, Clare, and I all made several wide runs down the field to collectively gain the team important yards to move us towards getting a touchdown. I think that these
plays were less recognized than the actual touchdowns, but they were essential to move us forward but also to run down the clock. These plays were able to work because we just clicked well and each played our part." Along with the ever popular Powder Puff game, an intense game of Dodgeball also took place during Spirit Week. In the game, Shield pulled through with the win, which determined the fate of the final results of Spirit Week. The Dodgeball Tournament pushed Shield to the final score of the week, with Shield on top! by Sarah Gross '17
Shield House crushed it in the Dodgeball championships, giving them a small edge going into Homecoming competitions.

1. RUN LIKE THE WIND. Edger House's Kate Davis '17 took a toss-off and sprinted down the field, trying to move past Quill's defense in the championship game. Davis's speed created many first down opportunities and led to a touchdown. 2. ON YOUR MARK. Quill House members got ready to storm the court before the semi-final championship dodgeball game. While they played, their teammates in the stands belted out a loud "QUILL" cheer. 3. JUMP TO IT. Christina Mozeika '17 carried the ball for a first down, right as Julie Fassl '17 tagged her out. 4. GO HARD OR GO HOME. During the superhero themed parade float competition, members of Quill House, using the theme of "the Avengers", dressed up as different characters from the movie. Pictured are Mathew Gunstensen '16 as "The Hulk," Emma Consoli '16 as "Black Widow," Reed Doerler '16 as "Iron Man," George Revock '16 as "Thor," and Kieran Choi '16 as "Hawkeye." Despite having incredible costumes, the team went on to place 4th in this contest. 5. BEST FOOT FORWARD. Gale House's Liam Fitzgerald '17, Owen Black '16, and Simon Vadas '16 charged the dodgeballs mid-court as the first whistle was blown.
ON GALE HOUSE'S POWDERPUFF VICTORY. "Winning powderpuff was the highlight of my Raider House experience. We worked so hard in the off season to bring home the 'ship for Gale House, and I wouldn't have wanted to do it with any other group of girls. Shout out to all the girls who took a hit from [Alexis] Goeke '16."
Sophia Sauma '16, Head of Gale House
KING'S COURT After a close win, Shield House won Spirit Week and Heads of House, Alyssa Hampton '16 and Savoy Drummond '16, walked away from the Homecoming Dance with King and Queen crowns. "Nothing worth having comes easy. We worked and took a lot of time outside of school to work on the float, and we worked really hard to make sure everyone played a role in Spirit Week and got involved," said Drummond. "Shout out to my co, Alyssa, for working so hard!"

Dillaway said, "Empty Bowls Club is a service learning club that I started at Hun this year. At meetings, we use our artistic talents to make ceramic bowls. Our plan is to then sell these bowls. All of the profit will then be donated to the Trenton Food
empty bowls. My media arts teacher was the Advisor of The Empty Bowls Club at her old school. Since the club was successful at her old school, we decided that it would be a great idea to bring to Hun. So, Ms. deBardelaben asked Bianca [Crfelli '18] and I to help her start a club here. The club has been very successful thus far. We had 62 people sign up and, at our event, we sold over 75 bowls." by Kaitlyn Dillaway '18

SMILE AT A TIME Elizabeth Briggs '18 traveled to Columbia with "Operation Smile" to assist a surgical team as they brought dental health to the country. "In February, I went on my second mission with 'Operation Smile' to their permanent center in Bogota, Colombia. I was fortunate enough to participate, as my stepdad works for Johnson & Johnson and is actively involved in driving the company's charitable work in support of 'Operation Smile.1 As a result, (this organization) has become a personal passion for me and my family. The special thing about going to a permanent center like the one in Bogota is that you get to see kids in all different stages of their journey Some may be there for appointments prior to actually getting surgery to see if they are candidates, some may be there for checkup appointments or receiving
other forms of care such as psychological help, speech therapy, or dental work You really get to see every part of the process and follow families through the experience Before my visit, I partnered with the community sen/ice club at Hun to collect toy donations to bnng to the children in Bolivia. The donations from Hun really helped entertain the children, and kept them calm before their surgeries A tot of these children are not fortunate enough to have a lot of toys, so the toys that so many people donated really put smiles on their faces My favorite part [of the whole experience] was getting to know the families and kids before the surgeries, going into the operating room with the kids, and then

HIGH HOPES. A nurse comforts a baby patient a few minutes before the child goes into surgery. 5. NICE TO MEET YOU. Briggs greets a patient as he enters the clinic. She went on to describe meeting the children as one of her favorite parts of the whole experience. 6. AROUND BOGATA. While in Colombia, Briggs got to sight see with her team and really enjoy the beautiful architecture.

Panera Bread
FOR JANUARY 7,2016. The "Mini-THON" club teamed up with Princeton's local "Panera Bread" to fundraise for the Four Diamonds Fund, which aims to end pediatric cancer. During this event, Hun students encouraged their families and friends to buy food from Panera for a four hour time span. Due to Hun's partnership with the local cafe, Panera promised that 20% of their profit from that night would go towards the Four Diamonds Fund. Winter sports teams, Janus players, and Hun community members all came out to support the great cause to the extent where the whole restaurant actually looked like it was only Hun students. In the end, this was a successful night, as the club raised over S200.00."

STEAMPUNK + SHAKESPEARE !
Making her Hun directorial debut, Ms. Gayle Robinson brought the Shakespearian comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream to life. But, in order to get magic on stage, creativity was used behind the scenes. Starting day one, the cast and crew worked on forming bonds with each other. Participating in team building activities and improv exercises, the actors grew accustomed to having fun
with each other and learning how to adapt to any surprises that might arise during a performance. So when Flute, played by Martin Caforio '18, lost his wig, the actors knew how to carry on as if Shakespeare himself intended it that way. Perhaps it was the visit from Ms. Margo Guns, a teacher from the Globe Theater in London, who shared professional acting tips with the cast, that allowed the actors to channel the playwright's spirit. Everyday,
every member of the show put forth 100% effort during rehearsal. Ms. Weeden and her crew helped to create the ominous mood through multicolored lighting and black tutus "Being a fairy in this play was incredibly cool, especially because the style was steam punk, which is sort of the opposite of what a typical 'pretty and pink1 fain/ is It added a unique twist to the show," said Brianna Joyce '18

The Janus Player's Production of A Midsummer Night's Dream Midsummer was a really fun show to work on. Everybody just threw ideas out there, and it was a realty collaborative work. It was a tough show to design for because of how open the space was and how much the actors moved around. It was even harder on opening night when the light board stopped working, but I'm very proud of what the tech crew accomplished. My favorite part was definitely watching everything come together at the end for a great show!

NEW FACES Theatre Director: Gayle Robinson Theatre Technician: Molly Weeden With a veteran theater ensemble and new management, the theater company quickly adjusted, going on to put on a spectacular production. Janus Players weigh in on how they felt about the transition
"It was strange seeing unfamiliar faces in the theater, but after getting to know the new faculty, they're really awesome!" -Lauryn Henry '16 "While it was an adjustment, working with two new theatre directors, Ms. Robinson and Ms. Weeden made the transition very easy and enjoyable. I had a great time learning the tricks and the trades of acting from them, and I hope to apply these skills of poise and stage presence to other aspects of my life." - Ajay Vasisht '16

MAKING
tor the first time ever, two Hun teams make it to Comerhouse's intercity dodgeball tournament finals and Hun takes home the cup!
HISTORY"
DIP, DODGE, DUCK, DODGE. Noise From the cheers to the ref's whistles, to the sound of dodgebails rebounding off the walls, the noise fueled the fire within the arms of Hun students, as they plucked off different opponents one by one. Hundreds of students gathered in the Princeton High School gym amidst the arguably most exciting dodgeball event of the year, the Princeton Inner-City Dodgeball Tournament, a This event was sponsored and local competition consisting of students from planned by a Princeton group multiple tri-state area schools. Every team in the called "Cornerhouse Student room had one aim: to have their eight player Board," which works to bring team crowned dodgeball royalty by the end of drug and alcohol awareness the night. Within a fierce field of competition to teens by doing workshops stood two Hun teams, the "Ever Anybouls," and and planning clean events for "Slave Lake Thunder." Both teams took on the daunting task of potentially being the first Hun students.. team to make the final round. After the first two rounds, both Hun teams easily defeated their opponents, and knew that the following matches would test their skill, endurance, and heart. Each team went on to win three more grueling matches, proving that both Hun teams were not about to quit competing. After hours of throwing, Hun made intercity history because the final championship match was the "Ever Anybouls" vs. "Slave Lake Thunder." Seconds before the final whistle blew, the court looked similar to how a typical Hun dodgeball tournament. The familiarity brought out the best in both sides. Standing on their respective

baselines, both teams looked forward at the empty court and single line of balls lying ahead, anxiously awaiting the start of the championship. Once the whistle blew, all sixteen athletes sprinted for the silver dodge balls awaiting at the half court line. Such a meeting at half court would cause multiple members of each team to be called out immediately after the match started Nearing the end of the longest match of the night, "Slave Lake Thunder' would become the champions, but not without a valiant fight from the "Ever Anybouls." Watching "Slave Lake Thunder" take pictures with their weltearned trophy, the Ever Anybouls stood on the side cheering, knowing that their shot at redemption would come next year, with seven out of eight members of the team returning for their senior year. Then, the whole Hun squad, with Hoagie Haven gift cards in mouth and hands, took a picture with the trophy before driving over Princeton's Qdoba for a "post-ship" celebratory meal. This victory for Hun did not go unnoticed, though, as it inspired Mr. Hews to call a dress down day the following Monday. This could not have happened without the determination, and resilience of both Hun teams duking it out until the final whistle. It was a great day to be a Raider. by Nichols Wilcox "17 and Caroline Davis '16

r—"• HOW DID IT FEEL TO BE A DODGEBALL CHAMPION? "Winning the tournament felt great because I was able to work with my classmates and compete against other schools and in the end come out on top. It was a different atmosphere than our in-school tournaments where not everybody takes it seriously. At PHS, everybody was there because they wanted to be, so it was taken much more seriousty, making the win so much more enjoyable. Having a team celebration at Qdoba afterwards was a great finish to the night!"
-James Werosta '16, winning dodgeball team member
whatsCORNERHOUSE? Matthew Moore '7 7 explains what Cornerhouse is and why , and other Hun students, like to get involved. "Cornerhouse is a Princeton community organization that gives back to the community by helping people with drug and alcohol addictions along with raising awareness for the issues. I, along with a few other Hun members, am apart of T.A.G., which is an acronym for 'teen advisory group.' It includes 24 students from Hun, PD5, PHS, and Stuart, and we meet every Tuesday night from 7-9 to learn about drug and alcohol abuse and how it has affected our community. We use that time to create workshops for fifth graders and eighth graders around the community to raise awareness for drug and alcohol abuse and how to prevent it. My favorite part of being in T.A.G. is creating relationships with students in different schools and being able to collaborate with them. It's hard work but actually a lot of fun. It's really nice to be representing T.A.G. and being able to put my influence back into the Hun student body, and the Princeton community as a whole."

"BSU and Diversity club wanted the Kwanzaa celebration to bring the history and culture of Kwanzaa to members of the Hun community who were unfamiliar [with the holiday]. It was also a way to [celebrate] a holiday that is not recognized as much in the mainstream despite being celebrated by several Black students at the school. People may know of Kwanzaa, but not of the history and significance behind it. We made a point to emphasize the history of Kwanzaa and the meaning of each principle. In planning the event, we knew there had to be music, dance, food, and candle lighting to culminate the full experience of Kwanzaa for all the guests. An African dance group came and gave a stellar performance [while] Lillian Alonzo's aunt brought in delicious soul food for everyone to enjoy. The Kwanzaa celebration was a successful and lively celebration that provided new knowledge and experience to everyone in attendance. "

'./.CELEBRATING
multi-cultural holiday celebrations
LITTLE TRADITIONS Everyone knew that this winter would bring about exciting holiday traditions. However, many people were pleasantly surprised to find that on-campus activities were just as involved as holiday traditions back home. In addition to the annual Shabbat Dinner hosted by the Jewish Culture Club, the Diversity club and Black Student Union teamed together to present a Kwanzaa celebration. The main goal of this event was to make Hun students aware of other winter holidays that they may not be familiar with. Students of all ethnic backgrounds came to the gathering to learn more and celebrate the traditional holidays. Olivia Hartmann '16, who had never celebrated Kwanzaa before said, "The celebration was a great experience especially for [people] who didn't know much about everything the celebration was about. Not only did everyone explain
what each word meant and what all the symbols stood for, but they included everyone, even people who had not celebrated before. In total, I really liked the Kwanzaa celebration and how open and accepting it was." The night started with the ceremonious lighting of the candles. Each candle had a different name, representing the principles of Kwanzaa. In addition, the candles were in 3 colors: green, black, and red. Green stood for the fertile land of Africa; black represented the color of the people; and red was for the blood that is shed in the struggle for freedom. To keep up with the tradition of the holiday, the event included ethnic foods such as chicken, collard greens, and beans and rice. The dinner not only celebrated African American heritage, but also community, a core value at Hun.

As the lights came down over the Saks Auditorium, there was a feeling in the air of nervousness and excitement. The night of the winter vocal concert was an exhibition of music from the Edgertones, VoiceMale, Middle School Chorus, and Upper School Chorus. This concert was especially important for the members of the Edgertones, who were unable to make the ICHSAs this year due to the heavy snow the weekend of the competition. The winter vocal concert, just a week before the competition, gave the members a place to showcase all their hard work, despite not being able to make the actual competition. VoiceMale's imaginative choreography kept the audience engaged and entertained. It, too, was an important night for the Upper School Chorus to showcase a semester's worth of musical work. Popular songs like "The Scientist" by Coldplay and "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from Frozen made for an enjoyable set. The success of the concert was just evidence of the hard work that each vocal group pours into their music each semester, and left the audience looking forward to the spring concert. by Charlotte Stout 16

"It was the first run of the first day at Stowe Mountain. My accident happened at the very bottom of the run. While boarding, I was trying to throw a snowball at Cole Havarcl '18, who was in front of me. Although I made the shot, I lost balance and fell face-first, crushing my nose. The hit sucked at first. I was a little bit out of it when I tried to stand up but I stayed calm, went into the lodge to wipe my face, took a picture (shown above), and headed back up. Since the ski trip was more important to me than anything, I continued to grind for the remainder of the trip. Had I aimed for an easier target, I probably would not have fallen." -Christopher Pontrella '18

MORE THAN JUST A SKI TRIP Choruses of "Are we there yet?" echoes from the back of the bus as each hour of the 7 hour bus ride to Vermont trailed on. This year, the Ski Club spent Martin Luther King Day weekend traveling to Stowe and Sugarbush Mountains, which are some of Vermont's finest ski resorts. After a few movies, a dinner pit stop, and several naps on the bus ride there, the students arrived at the hotel and headed straight to their rooms in recognition of the early wake ups to come. The next three days would begin with 6 am wake up calls, followed by full days of skiing and a night time group activity. The first two days were at Stowe mountain, which is known for its long slopes and even better waffles. Since the ski trip fell on one of the most crowded weekends for skiers across the country, there were extensive lines at the chair lift and gondolas. Nonetheless, the wait time did not
stop the Ski Club from shredding slope after slope. After a long, exciting day of skiing, each evening was jam-packed with fun outings and activities. On the first night, the group went bowling together. While there, they enjoyed a taco bar and wished Devin Ducharme '16 a happy 18th birthday with singing and eating an enormous cake. Ducharme reminisced saying, "I wasn't expecting for us to celebrate my birthday as a group. Usually [when my birthday falls on the ski trip] everybody just says "happy birthday" to me throughout the day, but T-Lo and the other chaperons thought it would be great to celebrate differently with a cake. I also got blamed for making everybody go out for dinner after an entire day of skiing. But later, I found out that they just wanted us out of the hotel so we wouldn't [have too much unstructured time]." But the fun did not stop there. The second evening included "all you
can eat pizza and pasta" and a second birthday celebration for postgraduate Kristina Sickmueller '16, who was also surprised with a giant cake. Finally, on Monday the group traveled to Sugarbush mountain, where the powder was heavy and the wind was strong. James Nehlig '17 said, "This year Sugarbush had the best snow that any skier or snowboarder could ask for. On top of all the fresh powder, the ski trip is a bonding experience with your classmates. With over one hundred trails open and great food it's hard to go wrong at Sugarbush. Big thanks to Mr. Loffredo for setting it up every year and I can't wait to go again next year." Whether students were skiing or snowboarding, sleeping on the bus rides or filming on their GoPros, everyone was able to take away lots of memories from this trip, both on and off the snow. By Olivia Hartmann '16 and Sophia Davis '18
HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO. Soccer star Devin Ducharme '16 blew out the candles on his soccer themed chocolate birthday cake.
ONE MORE TIME. After Ducharme's birthday celebration, the surprises did not stop. The next night, the ski club threw a big bash at a pizza place for Kristina Sickmueller '16, who turned 19 that night.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO BE FEATURED IN PRINCETON BALLET
COMPANY? Doing the Nutcracker with the American Repertory Ballet company was a great experience and gave us an inside look at what it was like to be a professional. On the weekends, we came and took a technique class in the morning, and then we would check the schedule to see what dances we would be rehearsing for the rest of the day. Performing is a great blur when you're done with it, but in the moment, it's really magical.

CUL TURES
ALL AROUND THE WORLD The dance company took the audience on quite a journey. The dancers started their performances off in Ancient India and China, showcasing their own traditionally styled choreography. From there, the audience traveled to Brazil for a steamy salsa, then all the way back to the USA for some contemporary and modern pieces. The audience was treated to traditional ballet with a rock and roll twist, and dancers even dabbled into the dark side with an evil fairy number. The dance company was made up of such a diverse group, and that diversity shined in the Bollywood and KPOP numbers. In addition, the dance team was featured
in the Janus Player's production of "A Midsummer's Night Dream," where they played fairies in a dance number, which they later repeated for their recital. Brielle Middleton '19 said, "Going along
with the play, we were creepy fairies, and Ms Yacomelli made us act really witchy and mysterious Overall, it was one of my favorite dances." But perhaps the most memorable moment of the fall performance was the final number. "FloRida's 'Feeling Good' was the perfect song for the finale", said dance captain Kyra Durfee '16. "Seeing the whole show come together after working so hard and performing next to your close friends really just makes you feel good!" By Kyra Durfee "16

SLIDING INTO
WINTER. Waking up at seven in the morning to the message, "School is canceled today due to ice and snow blocked roads" was the best news ever for day students and boarding students alike. The news was especially appreciated after the remarkably warm winter that New Jersey experienced leading up to the snow storm. Kristina Sickmueller '16 said,
and exclaiming the occasional 'OWT from a snowball hit. Everyone was brimming with excitement." Once down to the field, res life students grabbed their gear, found spots on the hill, built their ramps and obstacles, and finally, they began sledding. Tejus Govani '18 said, "sledding down by the field was a blast. A bunch of teachers and students were there, and Mr. Quirk even used the plow to make a ramp at the base of the hill. Everyone had a lot of fun." After a dayand a jacket- filled with snow and sledding, everyone finally settled in for hot chocolate, s'mores and pizza. The faculty members set up a big fire pit outside of the Global Commons, specifically meant for toasting marshmallows. With a snow day and a late start, what more could you ask for?
"Having had a non-stop blizzard from Friday night through to Sunday morning, I thought we deserved a day or two to get all of our snow lust activities out of the way." Boarding students, who were 'snowed in,' all headed down to the athletic fields to tread up the fresh powder. Sickmueller said, "trudging through the snow, we finally made it to the football field where everyone was running around with sleds, skis, and snowboards, laughing, with by Kristina Sickmueller '16

Many students bore the cold in the name of social media! "Instagram" newsfeeds filled up with pictures of people jumping into the cold weather. While some people froze because of dares from friends, others did it for fun. Either way, students were simply relishing in the long-awaited snow.

HOW DID RESLIFE STUDENTS SPEND THE SNOW DAY? "Reslife set up a time where some of the teachers would be down at the hill, so everyone showed up to go sledding. We all did it because everyone wanted to get out of the dorms and have some fun. I personally had a lot of fun sledding and it seemed like everyone else had tons of fun too. It was fun with the boarding community because we all knew each other, so we fooled around with each other."
1. OFF WE GO! Cameron Williams '18 gave Laura McBryan '18 and Adrien Pluchard-Cole '18 a push down the hill overlooking the athletic fields.

Coming from Panama, Manuel Moran Ovalle '16, who normally lives under the steamy weather conditions of his home country, had never seen snow a day in his life. During the first snow day of the year, January 23rd, he was pleasantly surprised to step outside of the Global Commons and witness the beginning of a blizzard. In retrospect, he said, "One of my hopes coming to America was that I would be able to see snow for the first time. Honestly, I asked myself all day when the snow would fall. For me, it was something wonderful and awesome to have experienced. I really do not like cold but on the snow day, I went outside, had fun, tried to make snowmen, and took a lot of pictures because it was an unforgettable and impressive experience."

SAYING
FAREWELL
INTERVIEW WITH KIERANCHQ!'16, JANUS PLAYER FOR 4 Q: What was your character in the show and how many shows have you done? A-. My character was the Captain of the S.S. American, and I have done 8 shows as a Janus Player. Beginning as young Tommy in The Who's Tommy as a sixth grader from Lawrence Intermediate School and ending as a 12th grade Senior in Anything Goes. Q: Which scene was the most fun to be in? A: My favorite scenes were the first few scenes of the play where the Captain and the Purser have to scramble around trying to make sure everything is perfect for their voyage. In those scenes, I had a lot to do in a short amount of time, and I had a lot of funny genuine interactions with many of the other actors, which was always fun. Q: Any funny backstage moments? A: The moments backstage were always hilarious especially with Sarah Gross'17. Atone moment, I had to exit the stage and sprint to Sarah who had the microphone I needed to yell into. However, Sarah was either not paying attention or on the other side of the stage, so I always had to sprint to find her. Once I got to her) would just yell "Pull!" or "Miss" into her face as she held in her raucous laughter. Q: How do you think you've grown from being a janus player? A: Over the years, I have steadily found the people in theater at Hun to be the most generous and supportive people in the entire school. The theatrical environment helped me get comfortable with the cast and crew and make new friends that would prove to last past Freshman year. Being a Janus Player is definitely the must enriching experience I had as a Hun student. ) will always remember the good and bad moments and the events that made me the pajama wearing, outgoing, goofy guy I am. It's been fun; Goodnight Ghosts!

Martin Caforio '18 weighs in on his
ANYTHING GOES "It's winter time at the Hun School of Princeton, and you know what that means? It's time for the winter musical! This year, the Janus Player's put on a fabulous production of Anything Goes. Anything Goes is the story of a stockbroker, Billy Crocker, who sneaks aboard the S.S. American to be with the love of his life, debutante Hope Harcourt. However, Hope is engaged to the very wealthy Sii Evelyn Oakleigh. Meanwhile, Crocker is mistaken for a notorious gangster, tangling him up with other gangsters stowed away on the ship. Between tap dancing (something a majority of the cast had never done before), show stopping singing, and slap-stick comedy, this year's production was a hit! While the final production seems to be all fun and games, a lot of hard work went into putting on the show. This year, we had three new directors join the team: Ms. Robinson, the new theater director, Ms. Weeden, the new technical theater director, and Mr. Workenaour, the newly appointed
favorite scenes in the play assistant director of the winter musical. Ms. Weeden said she was "very proud of the student leadership amongst the cast and crew. It made for a smooth and enjoyable transition into the Janus Players. It was a fantastic group to work with, and I couldn't be happier with the experience we all had together". Not only was it a transition for the new directors, but for the returning students as well. Ethan Saiewitz '16 (Eli Whitney) says, "Ms. Robinson has a different process than what I'm used to and it was really fun to change up how the shows are done with the Janus Players. At times it seemed like the set would never get done, or no one would learn their lines, but it was great to watch everything come together and to create such a fantastic show". Anything Goes was certainly a smashing success and the school can't wait to see what's in store for next year!" by Lexie Miller '17
"For me, there were two scenes that really stand out. The first is the scene that includes the title song, 'Anything Goes.' The song was a very fun and upbeat one, and it's always amazing to hear Lauryn Henry sing it so beautifully. But what was really incredible was getting to do that tap number in the song. It was just a blast learning how to tap, and then seeing how incredible all of us were on stage, considering only a few had any outside experience with the complicated style of dancing. It was just a very positive ending to the first act that always made me look forward to the show. My other favorite scene would have to be a combination of the jail scenes in the second act. It was a lot of fun to finally be able to act with my friend, Griffin Barich 16, as well as sing 'Be Like the Bluebird.' The scene had a lot of comedy, but also had some romance and some sadder moments. Overall, these two scenes were my favorite of a large group of really exciting scenes from an awesome musical."

The sound of "woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. woah oh, oh, oh, oh, oh" echoes in the Varsity Field Hockey team room as the girls get pumped for their game against Princeton High School. The peaceful sound of acoustic guitars rings in history wing of the upper school every Friday in guitar club. A phone speaker blasts in a dorm room as a boarding student listens to his or her favorite song. Music is present in the Hun community whether it's clearly visible or not. Music has shifted into a new era this year. No one would have believed in 2014 that Justin Bieber would make a huge comeback the following year causing everyone to have the condition of Bieber Fever. No one would have believed that the 2016 Super Bowl halftime show would feature Beyonce, Coldplay and Bruno Mars. Evidentially, no one would have believed that Adele would release a #1 song that would stay on the top of the billboard charts for ten weeks, and everyone would blast it in their car and sing it at the top of their lungs. (Just admit it, you've done this before). In a recent poll sent out to
100 students, the student's share their favorite hits from the year 2015 The top 3 favorite songs voted were, "Hello" by Adele, "Hotline Bling" by Drake arid "Take Your Time" by Sam Hunt During the school day, the library is a great place to silently study and get work done during a free period. 60% of students prefer working with music wheras 40% of the student body prefer to not listen to music while doing work Caitlin Murray '16 is often found in the library with her earphones in quietly doing work during her frees. She says, "Alternative music is my favorite genre, although I listen to virtually every genre Listening to classical music while I study is my favorite, but I tend to listen to more contemporary music while I'm working on assignments." Next year, new songs will be played on the radio and new growing artists will be introduced to the public's eyes and ears, but the love for music in general will stay at Hun. By Sophia Davis '18

THE ROOMMATE GAME One of The Hun School's recent boarding activities was the "How well do you know your roommate?" game show competition. With new seniors and postgraduates joining yearly, getting to know your roommate can be difficult. Seconds before the game began, you could hear murmurs of, "this is going to be hilarious!" and, "I am so glad they \ didn't choose me!" However, the i evening was filled with fun and laughter due to the amusing questions asked to the individuals, and their honest, but hilarious, answers. The competitors include roommate pairs Jose Morales '16 and Savoy Drummond '16, Imamu Mayfield '16 and Jordan McGriff '16; Sarah Gross '17 and Marisol Zaragoza '17; and, Ana Beatriz Ferreira Alves '17 and Carolina Souza '17.

distance. A total of four questions are asked to the remaining people about their roommates. Questions like, "What is their favorite movie?", "What do they brag about the most?", and "What is their favorite song?" After answering, the roommate returns. They are asked the same questions as a group and then write their answer on a white board. Once all answers are submitted, the people who were guessing their roommates "favorite place to eat in Princeton" go to the far off location, and the process is repeated with different questions. After the two rounds, we came to a stand still with a tied second place between Jose and Savoy, and Bia and Carolina, where Savoy and Jose came out on top. by Knstina Sickmueller 16

"I found that Griff and I knew things about each other but not to the specific extents that the questions asked. I put down Beyonce as Griff's favorite musical artist; to be honest, I didn't know who his favorite artist even was because he always lets me choose the music! I thought it would be funny though. As a whole, everyone got a lot of good laugh out of 'The Roommate Game'. It surprised me that Griff put down that he hates it when I open the blinds in the morning; I always knew he secretly did, but the truth came out live during the game show!" - Imamu Mayfield "16

Swain and Vadas participated in two rounds, after the first was deemed inconclusive. During the second round, Swain without-a-doubt won. While reminiscing about her strategy that day, Swain says, "I just always had my left hip turned so I could easily and quickly
slide in between someone bigger and or smaller My strategy never changed I did the same thing the whole time. The other part was just luck."

'-•RECOGNIZING
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE HONORABLE MENTIONS
On January 31st, forty-nine students were inaugurated into the National Honors Society during a formal ceremony in the Wilf Family Global Commons. To be exact, seven sophomores, twenty five juniors, and seventeen seniors received recognition from the exclusive group. Although the National Honor Society is an organization that recognizes students across the nation, this year was the first year that Hun introduced its chapter. As the fall rolled on by, many studentsincluding seniors who were also working on college applications-submitted applications, which were read and evaluated by a selective panel of faculty members. Students were evaluated based on academic, extracurricular, and service-based achievement. Hannah Petty '16 recalled, "The application asked what courses you take, what extra curricular activities you take part in,
and for and an essay. I filled in the objective parts of the application and then wrote my essay to reflect what activities I do outside of school." For many, the long application process paid off, as they sat in in rows at the induction celebration amidst a noteworthy speaker. During the ceremony, Andrew Houck, who is an associate professor of electrical engineering at Princeton University, presented the keynote address. He told the young scholars that "the more success you have in life, the more failure you are going to see," while discussing how success naturally produces more failure. After his speech, each student was awarded with an official certificate and medal. Throughout the year, the Society members worked with "Christine's Hope for Kids" and "Cherry Tree Child Care, both organizations that involve working with children. by Sophia Davis '18

"/ came up with the idea on Black Friday of my Freshman year when I went to the mall and couldn't find any clothes I liked. So I went home and came up with the idea to create my own. The original name was Apollo Clothing but I changed it quickly to Collab. After running that business for two years, making common "streetwear" clothing, I decided I wanted to change up the image of my line so I changed the name to Shoreline and began making "preppier" clothing with pastel colors and nautical stuff, etc. While I was running Collab, as I grew older, I started to realize that I was making clothes that I didn't even want to wear. So with the name change I started focusing on making clothing I would actually wear out to a party or whatever. With that, I began marketing my stuff to kids like me, ages 15-21, who had similar lifestyles to mine. I like designing late at night, my best work usually comes between 1-4 am. However, it has to come natural; for example, sometimes I'll sit down to design and nothing comes to me for like 15-20 minutes staring just at the screen. So sometimes I'll be walking down the street or in class and I'll think of something that I'll just write it down as descriptive as I can and come back to it when I'm free. The process is pretty easy. I started out making just T-Shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and hats. I found a third party print shop that had good quotes and I liked the owner so I started working with him where I would digitize my designs, send them to him, and then he and his team would silk screen press the T-Shirts (which is just a method of basically putting the design on the actual shirt). After doing that for 2 years, I started branching into different markets like with cut and sew products (more custom products, such as buttondowns, sweaters, jackets, etc.). With that, I started working with some clothing construction artists out of Pittsburgh who introduced me to some people in China and Japan where clothing is a lot cheaper. I've been working with them recently and it's a headache with the language barrier, but it's still cool. It just takes a longer time, like if you have to plan items to come out so far in advance. For instance, if I want something to be done by next fall, I'd have to send them specs and design in January to have it in time."

MARIES A CAY *M A WARENESS "The Autism Awareness Club was always an idea I had. Then last year, Mrs. Mishra pushed me to do it and I reached out to the faculty to find out who would want to help and both Mr. John Isbirian and Ms. Joanna Hallac responded so we started to get things together for this year. In October, we participated in a walk where we raised over a thousand dollars and we also had a bake sale earlier in the year. The dress down day in the Spring was also to raise more money and awareness. For this event, we ordered the bracelets online and worked with Mr. Hews to get the day approved. This cause is very important to me because through my volunteering at the Special Olympics and having a sister with autism, I have grown to learn a lot about the disorder and I think that most people don't know what autism really is and what it looks like. What I want is to help people understand. Living with someone with autism has shown me a side of the disorder that facts in a book never show. If you research autism, you could find that people with autism have special talents, but you don't really get to know how amazing it actually is until your five year old sister reads an entire book to you. People often think that autism is just a disability, but with the setbacks come so many advantages and there really is no other word to describe people with autism other than special. At the end of the year, all of the money will go to Autism Speaks, which is an organization that does a lot with research and lobbying to get laws passed for more government assistance to those who have autism. Autism is not covered well by insurance companies and having an autistic child is a huge financial burden on many Americans. I hope that the club will continue after I leave. As for me, I will continue to work with similar groups throughout college. I want to go to medical school to be a neurologist specializing in autism, so I know I will always be apart of the Autism Community."

ADVENTURING
IN THE name
Mr. Bush's Advanced Studio Art Honors class took their annual week long trip to an exotic location with the goal of getting 1inspiration from a new culture This year's location: San Juan, Puerto Rico
WHAT INSPIRED YOU THE MOS1 ON THE TRIP TO SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO? The most inspiring thing was figuring out more about my Tamo heritage, which no one in my family knew about The Tamo are native to Puerto Rico/Cuba so it's basically ingrained into the culture of the island Also, It was super cool seeing the coqui symbol (tamo hieroglyphic for a the national frog) on everything and figuring out more about myself. -Lauryn Henry '16 4 8 Advanced Studio Art Trip
EXPLORING CULTURE
"Each day was different. There were a few days when we went to the beach, one day we went to Old San Juan and another when we went to a river. Mostly we stayed in our house, and everyday Mr. Bush would have a plan for us. From a certain time to certain time we would sketch (there was always a different theme for the sketches), free write, write poems, read poems, water color, walk, cook our
meals, and have team still life contests. I am definitely planning on using the poetry that I wrote, and I'm considering making another nature scenes sketch. We always found things to do. When I first saw the house I was so excited, I thought it was beautiful! Mr. Bush had shown us pictures of the house before the trip, and I thought the house looked fine, I wasn't expecting much. When I saw it in person it surpassed my
expectations. It was great because we weren't near anything really, our neighbors were pretty far from us. So it was just us in this house surrounded by a beautiful rainforest.You learn a lot about people by living with them and you become closer with them. I really think I learned a lot about the people in my class. We did circle talk at the end of everyday. Each day there would be a new leader of the discussion and everyone in the group
would ask the leader colorful and vibrant. There questions about anything, was so much to see and It helped us bond with each there were so many other on a different level, interesting people to meet. We became so close and All the people that went on really understood each the trip I'm good friends others feelings. The trip with, but it was great was a great experience because I personally felt because it's not your typical comfortable with everyone trip. We barely experienced even the chaperons (Mr. the touristy side of it. Mr. Bush & Mrs. Mishra).

Exploring OLD SAN JUAN •i O SAN JUAN is the oldest and most historic city within Puerto Rico. Many shops and restaurants inhibit the area in high quantity. On the corner of every block there are traditional Puerto Rican restaurants. In addition, there are little shops to buy cute souvenirs from the town. Being the oldest historic settlement in San Juan, many sights are included in the town such as The Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, which is the second oldest cathedral in the Americas. Along with being the oldest building in San Juan, the location has become a huge tourist attraction. Students in the Advanced Studio Art trip enjoyed learning about the rich culture behind the beautiful city. ny Sarah Gross '17

student helpers
"This fall, I started working alongside Mrs. Repash, the school's athletic trainer, joining her other student helper Emory Young '17. When the last bell of the day rings, while most students have time to relax before practice, Emma and I always rushed down to get everything ready for practices. On a typical practice day, we would see which teams were practicing and start grabbing the water jugs off of the shelves. We would fill them about a third of the way with ice and fill the rest up with water. We would then start pulling the water bottles off the shelf and screw the tops back onto the bottles before putting each team's in a pile along with their medical kits and ice box. After this is done, we would wait for the teams to come in and load their waters on the back of the golf cart before we take turns driving it down to the fields. Some days, teams would forget to bring stuff and it
would be up to us to grab it for them. Game days are my favorite, even though it can get really busy. On game days, the same thing happens except we would have to go get the referees' signatures on these slips, and we would often get the equipment for the other teams too. After that was done, we would just sit back and enjoy the game, cheering on the home teams. One of the highlights of this experience was definitely when I travelled with Mrs. Repash to Blair Academy at night for a football game. Despite being freezing and definitely not wearing enough layers, the game was exciting, and I learned a lot about sports injuries. Working with Mrs. Repash can mean working long, hard hours, which would extend to Saturdays, but I would not change it for anything." by Nicole Chan 76

PHOTO CREDSTO...
This year, Gianni Branciforte "16 took it upon himself to be one of the few members of the student body to help out the school's Communications Office. As the school tries its hardest to document all the events that occur around campus, it can prove to be near impossible at times. Branciforte offered up his time and began shooting some pictures at various athletic events for the Communications Office to use. He said, "What sparked my interest in working for communications was mainly my love for photography. My first year of high school started with Mr. Egan approaching me with the question 'Do you like taking pictures of stuff?1. Originally, it was just me, Mr. Egan, and Mr. Csapo working on pictures for sports teams and extra curricular activities. But, after my freshman year, it became a more regular thing. In my sophomore year, I started to learn more about photography through Mr. Egan and Mr. Csapo and began to take it more seriously. Now, in my junior year, Hun has offered it as a club after a few years of it in the works. I'm glad more people are getting the opportunity to not only support the school but also learn more about what goes on behind the scenes.The best part, for me at least, is probably learning more about photography. Working with you're friends definitely makes it more appealing though/

Emory Young '17 scoops a bag of ice out of the ice bin for an athlete with sore muscles. Young says that, "Working for Mrs. Repash has really helped me discover who I am as a person. I am challenged often, and have been put in situations that push me. These situations have taught me great work ethic, and how to react under pressure. It is always interesting to watch Mrs. Repash work, cause she really cares about her job and the athletes she work with. Mrs. Repash goes to great lengths to help me succeed, and set myself up to reach my future goals." 3. OFF THEY GO. Young and Santori head out on the golf cart towards the fields. On working with Mrs. Repash, Santori says, "Working with Mrs. Repash is the best, not only because you get to watch all of the teams play and hangout in a golf cart, but because you meet so many interesting people as well as get to step out of your comfort zone and learn a lot about the hard work that is put into the Athletic Department." 4. FULLY LOADED. Young and Santori leave the athletic building with a golf cart full of stuff in order to make the most of their trip.
RED SHIELD SOCIETY...
One of the most popular clubs is the "Red Shield Society," which is a collection of stellar students who serve the Admissions Department as tour guides. While Hun has many advertisements that show what our school embodies, student tours around campus give prospective students the opportunity to see first hand what the community is like. Typically, students in the society volunteer their free periods to give tours. During the school year, two-year Red Shield Society member Kyle Pettoni '16 said, "i continually sign up for the Red Shield Society because I love representing our school and showing it off to others to try to get them to come here. It helps the community grow. I tell all prospective students that Hun is where I became who I am today. I make sure they leave the tour knowing that the Hun community hefps students grow and get to places they've always dreamed of. On a typical tour, I pick the student and their parents up in Russell, then walk to the Dining Hall, then GC, then across to the Academic Building, then to the Athletic Building/Fields, then to Landis depending if the play an instrument or are interested in •d|n photography and art, then up to the old SAC, then back up to Russell to finish."

A VAN GOGH IN THE MAKING
With a score of 233.55, Victoria Shay '17 dominated West Windsor-Plainsboro South's Elena Li and won the Mercer County Diving Championship meet at Montgomery High School. This is Shay's third Mercer County win. Q: What was the preparation process like for Mercer County? Victoria Shay '17: "The preparation process is a combination of physical and mental training. I work on my dives daily to deliver my best performance and try to increase the degree of difficulty to edge out the competition. Overall, it is the mental component that most people do not realize is the true preparation needed for competition. A diver gives 20% physical and 80% mental conditioning which is truly exhausting because a diver must be completely focused in order to properly execute
After dedicating many hours to building wooden toys, Samuel Leppo '17 and Logan Leppo '17 donated their creations to homeless children Q: What do you and your brother do? S: "My brother and I founded a nonprofit called Logan and Sam's Workshop a year and a half ago. It is centered around building wooden toys for homeless children and raising money to help them. Last summer the two of us built and distributed 50 toys. We had a great response from the community including media attention, and since our work in the summer have been growing to reach as many people as we can. We will be using the donations we collect to send homeless children to summer overnight camp. We have a club at school called Toys for Smiles." Q: Why is woodworking your passion passion? I: "Woodworking has been a tradition in our family and a favorite pastime of ours. We are so happy that we have found a way to use our passion to help others and bring smiles to homeless children.

From the iummtrr of 201 i to early ifjiifiy 2016, the IT workers, Edward Gainer and Lionel Gruenberg, spent hours recreating Vincent van Gogh's 1888 masterpiece named The Might Cafe' with old colorful wires. Q: How did you you all get inspired to create the protect? IT: "One day, Edward Gainer was looking at artwork by Vincent van Gogh and came across his famous piece The Night Cafe' He noticed the large brush strokes and how they resembled the network wires that were kept on the floor in plastic bins. These old and recycled wires have been in the bins for years Instantly, he thought it would be cool to prefabricate it on the wall since the walls were plain and had nothing special to it "

The expectation from others as well as myself was very intense because of my prior wins, but after winning, it was a tremendous relief." 0 ' How did you get into diving? V: "I was involved with gymnastics growing up in Singapore, but when we moved back when I was in 5th grade, I continued with gymnastics for another year until I was injured. During the summer I joined the swim team at our local pool. Since practice for diving was the same time as swim practice, I thought I'd try it. It was at this moment I discovered that diving was the combination of gymnastics and water that made me realize the love of this sport." Q: When did you start the sport? V: "I started the summer that I was 11 years old, then joined a Club Team, and starting competing nationally ever since."

mind to it."Q: What do you hope to accomplish in the future? S: "The new goal is to supply wooden toys for every homeless child in the US. We have reached out to schools in the area with woodworking programs. Students build the toys and distribute them to shelters in the community. People who help, gain community service hours and help a good cause. We have also had people from all over the US and several other countries write in to ask if they can help build the toys. We want to expand as much as possible. We also hope to raise enough money to send 20+ homeless children to summer camp. We hope to bring smiles to as many homeless children as possible."
Q From where did you start? IT: "When we settled on the painting, we took a projector and projected it on the wall We traced it out with one wire at a time carefully over the summer." 0 What materials were needed to complete the project? IT: "We used a hot glue gun to stick the wires to the wall because we found out it was easily removable." 0 How long did it take to make it? IT: "It was a very slow process We took it one day at a time. We wouldn't work on it all day during the summer but rather during lunch breaks or any free time we had. We've been working on it since July and had finished it at the end of March. The wires attached to the painting really add bright colors to the room being that there are no windows in the room and the walls are white."
MORE THAN A SOUND Yooha Kim '17 is welcomed into the NJMEA Allstate Orchestra for viola after committing many hours into practicing the unique instrument. 0- At what age, did you start playing the viola? Yooha Kim '17: I started the viola the summer before I entered Hun as a freshman. But, I started playing the violin was I was eight years old. <?• What was the audition process like? Y: I actually had to go through the Central Jersey Regions audition to qualify for All-state auditions. For the All-state audition, the string players were competitive and the atmosphere was intense. I usually don't feel nervous at all in the warm-up room or in line as I talk to other violists with similar skills and passions, but as soon as I stepped inside the room, I was shaking; nonetheless, I did my best. Even though I made mistakes, I didn't think about the audition until the results come out the next day. The audition was only step 1 of a fun and amazing journey with a great orchestra that I am excited to be a leader of. Q: How does it feel to be in the All-state Orchestra? Y: It feels great to be first chair viola, but this wouldn't have happened without the exhausting practices leading up to it. But of course, practice makes perfect; it feels satisfying to perform well, reminding me that it's worth it to go through hardships to accomplish something big. Q: Why do you like playing the viola? Y: I love playing the viola because I love standing on stage and performing, not with words but with music. Music can be worth a thousand words, colors, and feelings and it feels great to be able to create and share it.
For this year's Kristey King '09 Student Production, Meghan Ward '16 took on the responsibility of directing a musical. This year's show is "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown"! 0- What is the funnest part of directing a s h o w ' Meghan Ward '16: "All our rehearsals are fun because the cast all have big personalities and so there's been lots of laughs- and lots of late nights to make up for the laughing instead of working." 0 How is directing different from participating in a musical? M: "Directing is surprisingly tough because you're responsible for everyone and knowing your part but you can't physically learn peoples parts so it's a very imaginative and visionary thing. For myself performing had always been easy because / could learn my part and with directing it wouldn't matter if I knew everyones part. I had to come up with things that would allow them to express their parts the best that they could." Q. What inspired you to direct the musical? M: "I was inspired to direct the spring musical because it's something I've always wanted to do and had never had the experience so I decided why not!" Q: How did your emotions change as opening night grew closer? M: "As the play came closer, I found myself getting much more stressed because I had to let loose and couldn't control exactly what people were going to do. But overall I'm proud of what we've done. I believe the play will be a great success and memorable for years to come!"
With the dream of becoming an artist and a few paint brushes, Carmel Monckton '16 won a Golden Key Award for her colorful acrylic painting entitled 'Candyland'. She is currently enrolled in Hun's AP Studio Art course. At what age did you start painting? Carmel Monchkton '16: "I honestly started painting before I could talk. My mom would always set up paints for me but instead of painting the paper, I would paint myself and run around my house. Then as I got older and started going to school, art was emphasized in the [school] curriculum. We painted a lot of stuff, anything from trees to lions (my lion was the cover of the news letter for a while). Throughout time, the grades of our paintings got more and more sophisticated. <?: How were you inspired to paint 'Candyland'? C:"l went to a Waldorf School. I also saw a time lapse video of ice melting." Q: How long did it take to paint 'Candyland'? C: "Candyland took me about a month and a half to paint. I made it in my Advanced Studio Art Honors class junior year with Mr. Bush. Within this passion, Mr. Bush has always been such a great mentor to me." <?•' Will you continue art in the future? C: "I'm going to college for art with a minor in business. It's been a major part of my life. I'll paint on anything. Last summer, I painted on my IPad and it looks sick!"

MONTANA: GOING WEST, LIVING WILD Montana was one of the best experiences I've had so far as a Hun student. While in Montana, I had the opportunity to meet both children and adults that opened up my eyes to a whole new culture. Throughout the week we worked on a variety of projects including starting a camp, sorting traditional Native American games, and renovating the local church. Although we were only there for a short week, it was incredible to see how our small acts of kindness were making a
big difference i their community. The members of the community were so thankful for the help we gave and embraced us into their culture. When we arrived in Montana we were complete strangers to the people of the Blackfeet Nation, but as the week went on I felt I had known many of them for far longer than one week. One of my favorite parts about the trip was getting to meet the people of the Blackfeet Nation community. We all learned so
much from the children we worked with, and we were even able to teach them about our own cultures. "I enjoyed walking around with them and sharing my experience in the country, which is about 10,000 miles away, to fulfill their curiosity. They brought me back to the most innocent stage while they were asking me questions such as "Do you come here from China everyday?". Their curiosity about the world touched me" said Weiheng Qin '18. During
the week we also got to explore Montana. One of my favorite activities was horseback riding. We went to the Deboo's Ranch and we were able to ride horses to the top of a hill. From the top you could see rolling plains for miles. It was incredible. We also got to go to Glacier National Park and see many beautiful waterfalls. The scenery was nothing like I had imagined! Montana really is postcard worthy. These experiences opened me up to a whole
new world that is very different to the life most of the Hun community experiences in Princeton Not only did the people of the Blackfeet Nation embrace me into their own culture, but they opened my eyes to a new way of living my life.In that short week we were able to make so many great connections that I will remember for the rest of my life, by Laura McBryan 18

vni WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO GO TO CHINA? Reed Doerler 16: "I decided to go to china because I felt it would be a much different experience than when I went with my parents. It would be much less of a tourist route and more of seeing the real China." Michael Fitzgerald '16: "I thought it would look good on the Common App. Also, I really like to travel and had never been to Asia so I thought it would be a good opportunity." WHO DID YOU GO WITH?

RD: I learned a lot about not being materialistic and more about the value of family. Everyone in the village valued each other much more than they valued their objects and possessions. MF: "I picked up a few Chinese phrases and learned about the value of the little things." WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE
RD: "My favorite part was playing basketball and frisbee with the children in the village. Teaching them to throw a frisbee (which they had never seen before) was specifically my favorite." MF: "By far, my favorite part was going the Great Wall. The views were insane." WHAT EXPERIENCE WILL YOU NEVER FORGET' RD: "One experience I will never forget is when we were sent out by ourselves to explore a local town. I happened to peer into an open door to find a large family
playing Pai Shou together. They were so in sync and it was astounding to watch. Suddenly, they saw me and immediately gestured for me to come inside and sit at their table. I was offered tea and a meal, and then they offered me to join the game. I declined and said I'd prefer to watch, but the kindness and hospitality of this random family shows the true way of many families in China." -interview by: Caroline Ddvis '16
Immersion Trips
PROCESSES STUDENTS LEARN STEP BY STEP HOW TO THRIVE IN AN EVERCHANGING WO It happens in a single spit second. Every day in class, students wait for the little details from a lesson to finally "click" together. Whether we are understanding a physiological process or a geometric postulate, each day is made up of several light bulb moments that build upon our preexisting common knowledge. This understanding does not always happen within a classroom setting; even the smallest amount of "extra help" with a teacher can make a difference in learning patterns. The teachers work as ambassadors for the rigorous course load that Hun exudes. Sometimes in Math class, they teach us the long way to solve a problem before we are allowed to learn the shortcut. In English class, they encourage us to discuss topics so existential that they make our heads hurt. In Science class, they show us the value of forming an educated guess, and we learn that sometimes experiments do not go as planned. All of these lessons have shaped us into being relentless intellectuals, who know that we can never learn too much, teach too much, or share too much. We live in a world where information is power and each person's brain is a weapon of strength. Academic passion at this institution is contagious, and we can all feel that passion amidst the little moments that occur within heated Harkness debates or through the insightful comments and intense inquiries of our peers.

THE JAZZ BAND IS A STAPLE in the musical landscape of The Hun School of Princeton. Little by little, the jazz band has grown and improved and now encompasses close to thirty students, including three girls as compared to none just two years ago, who play more than eight different instruments. This year, one of the biggest additions to the jazz band was two trombone players. Senior George Revock '16 says, "this is the largest jazz band we've ever had and the addition of the two trombone players is huge to our group. We haven't had a trombone player in years so it adds a nice dynamic." The jazz band is also benefiting from the addition of a bassist this year. "Having a bassist allows us to play more complex songs, which is really exciting" says John-Paul Sinuk '17. A typical jazz band class period starts with scales and a warm-up song, then the class chooses a different song to work on each day in preparation for one of their many concerts throughout the year. Revock comments, "Jazz band is always uptempo; it's a very non-stress environment. You go to have fun and play music, and you can't not have fun playing music. I'm going to be very sad when I have to leave at the end of the year."

ONELOVE Jazz Combo This year, the Jazz Combo is the largest it has ever been with the flute as a new edition to the group. The range in instruments allows for a new sound and style at the Hun School of Princeton. The group all agree that, "we are all here because we love music and the environment we get to play in." With a similar schedule to the Jazz Band, we manage to succeed in our work and various concerts while having lighthearted conversations and fun within the classroom. by Kristina Sickmueller '16

BANDTOGETHER One of the things that makes orchestra so special is how everyone has an important part. We all work really hard throughout the year to get our specific parts of the songs done. Although it is a larger group, in order for everything to turn out well, each person has to individually practice and perfect his or her own part. So going off of your theme for little by little, each person has a little part that is equally as important as all the other parts and by everyone getting their time and working on their parts, it makes the whole orchestra that much better. bvAshreeta Yalamanchi '16

After touring the Capital, the students headed to Thomas Jefferson's creation, the University of Virginia. Midday, the teachers told the students they could eat anywhere on the university strip since it included various food options. As a result, the majority of students and teachers ate at the Mellow Mushroom Pizzeria and shared everything from delicious dough pretzels to appetizing cheese pizza topped with buffalo chicken.

POSTS While U.S. History students were off on their class trips, the rest of the school kept up with their endeavors through the mobile app "Instagram." Here are a few of their most popular posts...
FROM BOSTON TO DC Dark, blind, and alone, Lorenzo Spinazzi '18, who was one of the kids in Mr. Hews's US history class, screamed. In a rare break from the historypacked Boston trip, the class decided to go through a corn maze. Spinazzi said, "It was the single most terrifying day of my life. You go in with pride, and you come out screaming like a little girl." From October 10-13, 2015, excitement stemmed from corn mazes to historical landmarks during Mr. Hews's annual trip to Boston, Massachusetts with his Honors History classes. Mr. Hews, chaperones Ms. Garrison and Ms. Gash, and the students, spent three days in Boston learning more about the early New England colonies, which they had been studying in class. During the trip, they visited the Mayflower II and Plymouth plantation to interact with actors who portrayed people from the colonial times. Ryan Joseph '18 commented, "I thought it was cool because we could see everything first hand. The people weren't just telling us history; we got to experience history by having it reenacted around us. It was a great way to learn, and a great trip to be a part of, and I'm glad I went." They also got to recreate the Boston Tea Party, visit where the Salem Witch Trials began, walk the Freedom Trail, and visit Lexington. While there were many activities that were focused around history, the students also got some time to walk around sites such as Quincy Market and Salem, look at the city from the Prudential tower, and partake in a haunted corn maze at Connor's Farm. While
1. Ankita Mohan '18, Madeline Petty '18, and Olivia Tarditi '18 walked towards Washington's home and admired the well-built structure and breathtaking landscapes. 2. The beautiful view of the Mayflower could be seen from off shore. 3. Amanda Morrison 18 stopped and snapped a picture at the Granary Burying Ground. 4. Marissa Clover '18, Louisa Kolman '18, Laura McBryan '18, and Julia Revock '18 posed for a quick picture at Mount Vernon. 5. Ryan Torres '18 signed a replica of the Mayflower Compact in Boston, Massachusetts. 6. Bient Wills '18, Donald Chen '18, Louis Bishop '18, and Brett Renna '18 got their pictures taken with the astonishing scenery of Boston Harbor. After learning much about the site in their textbooks, Renna said that seeing it first-hand helped to enhance the experience. 7. Christian Schulte '18 encountered a camel at Mount Vernon prior to the tour of George Washington's house.
6 8 Class Trips
expanding on their knowledge of the New England Colonies and the history of America, Mr Hews's U.S. History classes had a blast in Boston But the fun trips did not end there The following marking period, a large group of US history students headed down south. The next stop was Washington DC, the capital of the United States and home of George Washington Later, the students visited Virginia, home of Thomas Jefferson. After a tiring six hour bus ride, the students arrived in DC and took a stroll to the famous 555 foot Washington Monument The next day, the students had free time to explore the city The Smithsonian Museums were a popular spot The places ranged from the White House to downtown Washington to get some southern BBQ Brett Renna '18 said, "During the free time, I walked around town and visited the White House My favorite museum was the National Museum of American History " On the Saturday and Sunday, everyone toured Washington's and Jefferson's houses. Each house had a beautiful landscape backyard and numerous rooms for countless guests From seeing the Declaration of Independence in the Rotunda of the National Archives Building, to touring George Washington's house in Mount Vernon, the students on the trip obtained information that opened their eyes to this country's history.

Good evening courtroom, we are here today to indict Victor Frankenstein for the attempted murder of Being The fact of Being's humanity, supported by these following three arguments, proves that he is afforded the protection of the federal murder statute. Julia will start it off proving beings human emotions, followed up by Meghan and Luke proving his birth process is in fact human. The arguments continue with Grant and Kyra, stating that Being has human abilities and instincts. Now my partner George will continue with the intro.
BRING THE CLASSICS TO LIFE The English 4 curriculum was totally revamped for the 20152016 school year: Rather than a typical full year English course, where all seniors who opted out of AP English Literature read the same set of books, each senior got to pick from a list of semester-long courses where the books they studied would be related to the overall theme of the course they chose. One of the most popular options was "Monsters and Madness," taught by Mrs. Yacomelli. The cornerstone novel of the "Monsters and Madness" course was Frankenstein, which Mrs. Yacomelli's students studied in depth and which culminated in a massive final project that took the place of a sit down midterm. The two sections of Mrs. Yacomelli's class were tasked with a debate that put Dr. Frankenstein on trial for the attempted murder of Being, the creature he scientifically engineers in the novel. This debate tested their knowledge of the book as well as their ability to argue their points of view the way a final paper would, but in a more creative way. Mrs. Yacomelli charged her A1 section with Dr. Frankenstein's defense, prompting them to argue that because Dr. Frankenstein created Being as artificial intelligence, Being is not human; therefore, Frankenstein cannot be charged with attempted murder. Ms. Yacomelli's B5 class was to prosecute Dr. Frankenstein on the grounds that though Dr. Frankenstein created Being, he is, in fact, human. The winning class got 25 extra-credit points for the semester and bragging rights for the rest of the year. In preparation for the trial, each student wrote an in depth research paper about his or her specific side of the argument. These papers served as the basis for the evidence Mrs. Yacomelli's students presented in the trial, and the grade from the paper counted towards their final exam. During the few weeks between the end of winter break and the start of the second semester, Mrs. Yacomelli's students worked tirelessly in class to formulate their arguments and prepare for the high-stakes debate. "We drew from all of our papers to find the most compelling evidence to prove that Being was or was not a human," explained Carmel Monckton '16. On the night of the debate, the students put their work on display and each class questioned presented their arguments, cross-examined two witnesses (Dr. Frankenstein, played by Liam Cahill '16, and Being, played by Reed Doerler '16), and made their rebuttals. Doerler said of the experience, "it was a lot of fun for me because I got to act my heart out as Being, but at the same time, I really had to know the book well to be able to play my part correctly." Each class argued passionately for its side, making the decision very hard for the assembled panel of judges. Ms. Bishop, Mrs. Petruzelli, and Mrs. Yacomelli discussed the verdict for fifteen minutes before coming to a decision, illustrating how well each side presented their respective arguments. On January 12, thanks to the members of "Monsters and Madness" B5, Dr. Frankenstein was convicted of attempted murder, and Being walked out of the courtroom a human.

WORK OF ART
and caught the eyes ot many Hun students, faculty members, and families The Hun Student Art Exhibit took place on January 7th where classes such as ntro to Woodwork, Drawing 1. and AP Studio Art, showcased the hard work that was completed throughout the semester The "Sisyphus" by Michael Foley '16, a moving Lego masterpiece based on the Greek Myth, was one of the most popular artworks shown Foley says, "My inspiration was drawn from an artist who makes kinetic LEGO sculptures, Jason Allemann He designed the inner moving LEGO Sisyphus, which I built and then molded a mountain around. Construction took me about 6 hours, but the longest part was actually waiting for the pieces to arrive! As the sculpture was not a pre-
packaged set. i h*d to order parts from a number of different sources online ' Another interesting piece of work was a M l body cast created by the Sculpture class it was unlike any other Hun artwork that has been displayed m recent years All together, the night was filled with laughs amongst the parents, awe for the works of art on display, and really tasty treats that everyone enjoyed. There was a wonderful unique atmosphere that one can only experience at the Hun Art Show. byKayls Smith )8
SELF-PORTRAIT Igor Gorskikh '18 During the exhibit, Igor poses next to his self-portrait, which he created through sketching and drawing, so that people could see the resemblance between the picture and himself.

A lot can be said through photography, and learning how to use professional cameras and Photoshop allowed me to express myself in a whole new way. Also, I really enjoyed being in the presence of so many friends. It was an invaluable experience that I'm going to remember fondly for the rest of my life."

• LIFESIZED SCULPTURE CLASS Sculpture is quite different than drawing and painting. Students in this class used a limited number of materials to create a lifesized human figure. The students in this class learned how to calculate and manipulate the material in order to make the proportions of the figures as life-like as possible. The class then organized these figures on the chairs outside the Heart of Hun during the Student Art Exhibit, giving guests quite the shock when they walked in, as the size and accuracy of these grand sculptures was quite I impressive.
For the art exhibit, the students in Ms. Ryan's Painting 1 class chose to paint a picture of their favorite foods. The students looked online for a picture for inspiration before they spent many class days sketching out their foods and then painting over those sketches with an array of different colors. Some of the choices that the students included were: ice cream, hamburger, pineapples, and sushi.

When the Human Anatomy and Physiology classes reached the Skeletal Unit, Mrs. Piel decided to switch things up and teach the material in a hands way. Through a series of projects, Mrs. Piel and her students explored the makings of the skeletal system. The first project was to construct a six foot tali| skeleton. Each student was assigned a bone to draw and cut out to be brought in on the day of the festivities. The students would then put the pieceii together and staple them to a board that would go on display. For the second project, Mrs. Piel allowed her students to take charge and design their own!
projects as a class. All three classes unanimously decided on creating another skeleton, this time made out of various foods The sections made tl skeletons primarily out of cake, candy, and Rice Krispie Treats, with the occasional daring choice, such as a mixture of squash and mushrooms. Sect three continued its out of the box thinking when they decided to divide into groups to take on two separate projects for their long period with the Skeletal System. One group was in charge of the food skeleton, while the other group designed a game they called "Bone Twister " This game included taking a Twister mat and painting a bone on one of the spots, each differing from the other. The students also created a spinner with the different names of the bones to go along with the original Twister game piece. Twister pitted section 3's students against each other in a flexibility contest that often ended in uncomfortable positions, but made learning the skeleton that much more memorable. On each class's long period, the students presented their projects to Mrs. Piel, feasted on the food skeletons, and brought their hand-drawn bones together to form the six foot tall skeleton for Mrs Piel's addition to the day: bone darts. For bone darts, the classes were split "girls versus boys" in a test of athleticism, eye-hand coordination, and bone knowledge. The rules of the game were that each person had to announce the bone that they were attempting to hit with their dart If the person was successful and hit his or her shot, he or she would be awarded two points; if the individual hit another bone but could correctly identify it, then the he or she would be awarded one point. Wandering teachers were brought in for "Celeb Shots," that would bring extra points to the teams In the end, the boys dominated in darts, winning in two out of three classes, and tying in the third. All in all, long period HAP was the highlight of the week and a memorable experience al around. Mrs. Piel and her students' innovative and creative thinking made the daunting task of knowing all 206 bones in the human body much less intimidating and much more fun than straight memorization. Senior Emma Consoli '16, said of the day: "We had so much fun, but it was also really informative. You could really see how much effort everyone put into their aspect of the project, whether it be food, or twister, or their drawings. My classmates were able to each me, and I was able to teach them, and we had fun while doing it. I think these activities helped the information sink in much more than a Powerpoint or Quizlet would — especially the bone darts That is something I'm not ever going to forget." .'•i Nicole Chan 76 ^M • ^ ^ • "

For the second year in a row, Mrs. Piel's Human Anatomy and Physiology classes had the unbelievable opportunity to utilize the teleconferencing capabilities of the Global Commons classrooms and watch a live open heart surgery to conclude their unit on the cardiovascular system. The students witnessed and interacted with a team of doctors who were performing a Quadruple Coronary Artery Bypass on a 69 year old patient. In preparation for this procedure the students studied the flow of blood throughout the heart and body as well as different cardiovascular disorders. A week prior to the live procedure, the HAP students got a hands-on look at the cardiovascular system when they dissected sheep hearts. When it came time for the day of the procedure, students from three different high schools conferenced into the operating room and were able to ask questions of the surgical staff while watching the procedure. The procedure took about 3 hours total and a lot of students were shocked by what they saw once the patient's chest was open. The patient's lungs, and a significant part of his heart, were black due to his excessive smoking, and it was hard for the physician's assistant to find a viable vein in his thigh to harvest for the bypass graft- The lead surgeon even attempted to harvest a vein from the patient's shoulder, but it was so damaged from the smoking that it couldn't be used. However, the surgery ended up being successful, though the doctors left the students with a warning, saying "if this man continues on the path that he's on, the next time we see him, he'll be on this table getting a heart transplant." All in all, it was an eyeopening day for Mrs. Piel's students and the perfect end to their cardiovascular unit. By: Emma Consoli '16

THE AP E X A M * ADVANCED PLACEMENT EUROPEAN HISTORY In Advanced Placement classes, the schedule for learning the appropriate material is always tight. Teachers tend to focus on lecturing, ensuring the students have at least touched on all of the material before the exam, rather than having students do large projects. In many cases, projects are saved for after the exam. However, in AP European History, Mrs. McNulty is able to diversify her teaching methods by incorporating projects and different activities to learn the necessary material. "It's a change of pace from doing test after test which is great because it keeps the class interesting and makes learning the material more fun and creative," says David Niciforo '16. Throughout the year, the students have embodied various Enlightenment philosophers in a discussion; made playlists of modern songs; created "ugly sweaters" that represented the stages of the French Revolution; and wrote Valentine's Day cards to people across time periods with opposing ideas. The purpose of the Valentine's Day cards project was to get the
7 6 AP Euro Valentines
students to think about connections over time by comparing and contrasting major viewpoints and how they've changed When asked about the Valentine's card project, John Sinuk '17 said, "They were fun to do and it was a fun way to digest the material we learned in class." Mrs. McNulty used the project to supplement the learning of not only the material, but also the AP skills, which are needed specifically for the Document Based Question portion of the exam. Helena Hemberger '17 enjoyed the Valentine project and said, "it was a creative and fun project but also made us find out more about important historical figures." AP European history is a rigorous course, so having meaningful projects "allows us to be creative, so we remember the information better than if it had just been on a test," said Emma Consoli '16. by Katherine Consoli '16
1. PILED I After the students present their cards, Mrs. McNulty stacks up the vibrant projects on her desk, which she later graded and hung up to bring color to her classroom. Krithika Veerappan '17 presents her project, which she went above and beyond for as she created two cards: one a letter, and the other a response. Caroline Davis '16 reads her poem, which was from Nicholas Machiavelli to Napoleon. For his assignment, Connor Hufer '17 chose to put his card inside a bottle, which he decorated and filled with red sand and hearts. "-RT Lillian Alonzo '16 reads her card, which she decorated with a dark border and pictures. John Sinuk'16 chooses to go first in presenting to Mrs. McNulty and the rest of the class. Sinuk chose to write his poem from Thomas Hobbes to Maximilien Robespierre. Katherine Consoli '16 reads her poem to her class. For this project, she chose to write a satirical card from King Louis XIV o John Calvin. "JG IT OFF Mrs. McNulty shows the class the card that Nicole Chan '16 made. For the card, Chan wrote a poem from Caspar David Friedrich to Rembrandt, criticizing his dull paintings. Chan also created a heart out of quilling paper and, on the inside, photoshopped one of Rembrandt's paintings to fit.
BUT FIRST let me take a selfie On the day Mrs. McNulty's AP European History students had to present their sweaters, Mrs. McNulty offered up two opportunities for extra credit. The first opportunity for extra credit points were awarded to the students who bravely wore their sweaters throughout the school day. The second opportunity was awarded to students who took selfies with 5 out of 6 administrators including: Mr. Brougham, Mr. Hews, Dr. Fabian, Dr. Gillin, Mr. McQuade, and Dr. Kiefer.

ONE SMALL **step for...physics class Mr. Dragoiu-Luca's Physics class engaged in a rocketlaunching experiment for a more hands-on pxnpripnre in the factors that can affect gravity. 3, 2, 1, Blast Off! In an effort to create a more hands-on class experience, each physics class was given the task of building and design their very own rockets. Christopher Bahr '17 also thought that, "it was a great way to make learning physics fun. It was a really nice change from lectures and note taking, allowing us to get out of our seats and do something hands-on." Different factors such as size, shape, and the amount of water used, made the rockets do different things. Lab partners had to bring in soda bottles to begin the craft. The objective of the lab was to build a rocket that would stay in the air for the longest time possible. Some groups used parachutes and even wings to help obtain the objective. Research had to be done to figure out the best way to construct the rockets. With many days of preparation put into the model rockets, the class was very anxious to see whose rockets flourished and whose failed. A key element of the takeoff of the rockets was also water pressure. The bottles had to be completely sealed off so that when air was pumped into the bottles containing water, the pressure would make them launch. A very Coble '16 said, "We discovered that the more water placed in the bottles, the higher the bottles would go, which in turn kept them in the air longer. My group had a 1:1 ratio of water to air and it went fairly high." All the hard work, research, and designing paid off since most every rocket launched so high they ran into the trees! Sophia Albanese '17 stated, "Making the rockets was really fun and interesting. We got into groups after we learned how the shapes of rockets determined their path in the air. Before our rocket project, we watched a movie called "Rocket Boys", which told the true story of the trials and errors in the rocket building process of a group of boys trying to win a science fair. It was cool to watch this movie before the project since we were doing the same thing as the boys in the film. In making our own rockets, we learned how the shape and presence of a cone at the top of the bottle rocket, or wings on the side of it, can help it travel higher. All of our different rocket designs helped us learn which methods were best when making a rocket". 0/ Sarah Gross 17

b U I L U l N G AP STUDIO ART
SKILLS & PORTFOLIOS AP Studio Art is the class I look forward to every day. It's the class that breaks away from a typical classroom setting, which usually consists of taking notes and discussing ideas. In AP Studio Art, we are given the freedom to manage our own time and productivity levels. Each week, Mrs. Collingham assigns either a "Breadth" or "Concentration" piece, which week by week will eventually lead to the 24 pieces needed for our portfolios for the Advanced Placement Exam. Almost every class period leading up to the piece due at the end of the week is a designated "work period", where students have the creative freedom to approach their work in different ways. The "Breadth" portfolio focuses on highlighting the artistic creativity of the student, and his/her ability to show a range of skills. Some pieces that Mrs. Collingham has assigned in order to push us beyond our comfort zones have included: a line weight drawing, a scratchboard multi-paneled piece, an environmental selfportrait, and a stencil project. The "Concentration" portfolio allows each student to focus on a specific theme or message and create 12 pieces based off of that idea.
Some of the "Concentrations" that students in her das* have chosen to focus on include illusions, technology's affect on society, and addictions For my Concentration, I chose to create a sports magazine I've taken pictures at different sporting events and have compiled them all on Photoshop into a magazine-like layout At the end of every week, we all present our pieces, and have a classwide critique What differentiates this year's class from the class before is its size, which consists of only seven students compared to last year's 17 With a smaller size, we are all able to spend more time on each of our pieces during critiques, and also have a bigger work space For me personally, AP Studio Art is probably the highlight of my Senior Year I will never forget the bonds made in this class, whether it be our shared love of cats or our beautiful, knit hats, courtesy of Mrs Collingham The class has also caused me to break boundaries in my art and for that, I will always be grateful for my classmates and especially Mrs. Colllmgham by Nicole Chan ' 16

EMILY TAYLOR'17 "AP STUDIO ART IS THE ONE CLASS THAT I AM ALWAYS EXCITED ABOUT My class is always mentoring each other and giving their opinions. I have found that I have become a better artist because of not only the class, but also the interactions have had with other art students."
Every year, Mrs. Collingham submits her students' work to the Phillips Mill Art Exhibition in Pennsylvania. This year, Senior Alvaro Aguilar received an honorable mention for photograph, which he digitally altered on Photoshop. His photograph is a social commentary on the way technology has altered and influenced the lives of many people. For this piece, Alvaro took a picture of a person holding a phone,

Every student in Mrs. Collingham's class was given a space to hang up his/her artwork at the beginning of the year. 2. GETTING IT READY. In preparation for the art show, Carmel Monckton '16 cuts off the borders of the picture she chose to display. 3. SHARING OPINIONS. Nina Yoo '17 and Mrs. Collingham share a laugh as Nina points out a funny detail she noticed in a drawing during a critique. 4. THE END OF THE WORLD? Alvaro Aguilar '16 pins up the huge piece that he did for his Concentration. Aguilar's picture is a social commentary on technology's place during wars around the world. Aguilar also showed his breadth as his piece encapsulated depth, variety, and scale, which Mrs. Collingham emphasizes as necessary for a good AP portfoilio.

WORTH A THOUSANDWORDS For her concentration this year, Sherry decided to focus on using pictures to define obscure words from different languages.
"My concentration is about how photographs and graphics may offer better understanding to obscure words. The relation between words and graphics in my works has multiple layers: the picture explains the words, and the words tell the story behind the picture. I also find it interesting when I have to determine where I should put the text, and how the text can create movements in my works. I love how this AP Studio Art class teaches us different approaches and techniques to achieve our themes/messages, and at the same time each artist has freedom to study what he/she is interested in." -XinranWu'16

which he links to the body through a charger that seemingly connects to the person's heart. Aguilar then digitally altered the phone and the charger to create a sketch-like effect, which draws the viewers' eyes to the objects immediately. This piece also ties into Aguilar's Concentration, which focuses on technology's influence on the lives of society.
Alvaro Aguilar '16 on winning: "It was such an honor to win this recognition: I really did not expect it. I want to say thanks to my classmates for their compliments and critiques, which allowed me to become a better artist. I also want to thank Mrs. Collingham for encouraging me to take risks in my art, and for pushing me past my creative boundaries."

ENTREPRENEURIAL STUDIES •

uildingabusiness CAN YOU SELL IT? For Entrepreneurial Studies, Mrs. Radanovic decided to revamp the class setup by creating an Entrepreneurial Studies 1 and 2 for each semester. In Entrepreneurial Studies 1, students learned the facts about small business and what goes into running one. Sortie of the things that they learned included drawing up a business plan, raising capital, and creating a budget. The students who continued onto Entrepreneurial Studies 2 in the second semester, applied this information to rea! world application. The students were given the creative freedom in designing their own business to operate on campus. Out of all the small businesses, the one that is profiting the most is "Nice Cream", which is an ice cream stand launched by Carmel Monckton '16, Tanvi Koduru '17, and Enrico LoCascio '16. Monckton cites that the biggest difference between this year and last year's class, is that while you still approach the startup of a business through trial and error, the students this year are not approaching small business with little knowledge. "Nice Cream" was formed together through teamwork, with Monckton creating the name and
TOOLBOX Another small business group formed is the popular "Toolbox Coffee Company". The brains behind the operation included Charles Nestlerode '16, Brandon De Paulis '16, and Daniel Peltack '16. The group sold a variety of goods, including: coffee, tea, and donuts.

The flavors available for sale include: cookie dough, cookies and cream- which is by far the most popular-, chocolate, and vanilla Monckton contributes their success to the fact that they did not put themselves into debt right from the start buying supplies, unlike some of the other businesses Whenever the Entrepreneurial Studies class meets first through third period, "Nice Cream" spends this time making and preparing ice cream and building an inventory. On the days that the class falls from fourth to sixth, they spend their time at the Heart of Hun, selling Fourth period is by far the period that sells the most, usually to an even mix of students and teachers On this experience, Koduru states, "I like the feel of what the real world experience is like and having a glimpse at what it means to be an entrepreneur." In conclusion, Monckton ends with her biggest revelation of the whole experience: "People really like oreo ice cream " by Nicole

When asked why she took this class, Koduru responded, "I want to be an entrepreneur in the future, and I think it greatly benefited me! My favorite thing about it was seeing the plan we had for a couple months come together in real life." The Nice Cream sign sits on the edge of the table, advertising the ice cream for $2 a scoop. Enrico Locascio '16 handles the money, making change for a bill. Out of all the businesses, Nice Cream made the most profit. After mulling over a decision, Ms. Joanna Hallac decides to order cookies and cream, the most popular choice. Monckton scoops out the cookie dough, another one of the favorites.

i FUTURE SKILLS A LOOK INTO THE FIRST SEMESTER TWOPERSON ENGINEERING DESIGN CLASS The Engineering Design class was a unique course which focused largely on research, projects, and skills that could be used outside of the classroom. The objective of the course is "two fold; first to introduce students to different areas of engineering, and secondly to dive into the cyclical design process," said Mrs. Cooper. She added, "Engineering is a very time intensive major in college and to have a better idea earlier on about what division one might want to focus on would be very helpful. Providing this insight to students interested in engineering is invaluable." Ethan Saiewitz '16, one of the two members of the class said, "I was interested in this class because I wanted to take a class that has real world applications and parallels." There were "some very positive things about such a small class. The two students would share their information freely and help each other with problems as they encountered them. "Engineering Design is a project-based class with actual building and construction taking place during class. So, with only two students, it was easy to share resources and do more complex projects," said Mrs. Cooper. Tali Weinstein '16, the other member of the class, added: "It was fun, considering the complex and time-consuming projects we did made it really easy to get things done and not always be in each other's way all the time." The typical class consisted of building and testing their designs, and on a final test day, Mrs. Cooper would determine the winner for the challenge. Both Weinstein and Saiewitz found the welding unit to be their favorite because it directly related to their intended majors in college. "My favorite unit by far was learning to weld. We didn't have that much time to weld but it was fun learning a fabrication skill that I can continue to perfect on my own and use my whole life," said Weinstein, who will be studying mechanical engineering in college. "My favorite unit was also learning to weld," added Saiewitz, "I want to study technical theater in college and welding is an incredibly useful skill in making sets and repairing things." Mrs. Cooper is looking forward to continuing to teach the class and says, "My hope is to mix the projects from term to term, at times allowing students to choose from a list of options." In the second semester, there are 10 people enrolled in the course, which has become an elective for the STEM scholars track. By Katherine Consoli 16

The football team tackles the season with determination and lots a.t for an undefeated record
FASTER, STRONGER
From the weight room to the MAPL Championships Shortly after the 2014-2015 school year ended, the Boys Varsity Football team reunited in the weight room to begin their quest for a second straight MAPL championship, going undefeated was their ultimate goal. After three months in the weight room, and two weeks spent together during "mini-camp" and pre-season, the Raiders were faced with the ultimate test in their biggest game of the year. Crowded on a large yellow school bus crossing the Verrazano Bridge into Brooklyn, the football team headed to Poly Prep with one goal in mind: win this game. Right from the opening kickoff, the game was physical. With neither team scoring in the first quarter, it seemed like the winner of the game was going to come down to whoever scored first. Halfway through the second quarter, after a long, physical drive, the Raiders fought their way into the end zone, led by the rushing attack of Imamu Mayfield '16. Mayfield continued his drive, running the ball in for the following two-point conversion. At halftime, with the Raiders leading 8-0, it was apparent that heart was
going to be the main factor in winning the game. After a moving halftime speech by Mayfield, the team started the second half inspired, and scored on the opening drive. Due to a strong effort by both the Raiders offense and defense, the team was able to defeat Poly Prep 16-0 - avenging their only loss from last season. Blood, sweat, and tears drove the Raiders to their 2-0 start to the season. One week later, the boys showed the same amount of heart, only in a different situation. After another very physical, downto-the-wire win for the Raiders against Canada Prep, a player on the opposing team suddenly collapsed and needed medical attention. Out of respect and concern, every member of the Hun team silently watched from the top of the hill as the Canada Prep player was taken off the field: a powerful statement by the Raiders. Some members of the team walked down the hill onto the field to console and support the players from the opposing team. No matter what the situation, the Raiders carried the heart they had fostered in pre-season throughout their season. by Nichols Wilcox 17

"Since freshman year, I'd say the program as a whole has grown tremendously. The competitiveness and aspiration to win has never been as high as in the past t w o years, and I hope it'll continue to rise. Hun Soccer isn't only a team, it's a community. People say it a lot, but being a part of this team really means more than the name on the front: it's a family that I'll have forever."
GROUND
The Junior Varsity girls soccer season was a short but vigorous one. Starting in August with the fall sports pre-season, the girls experienced a week full of sprints, drills, and a lot of leg work. The days would start with a 5 am wakeup followed by 120 yard sprints. Needless to say, naps became every soccer player's best friend. The team started off the season with a win; however, the games following consisted of cancellations and fosses. Finally, the moment of redemption shined through, and with the skills the team honed in practice, they battled and triumphantly won against the Hill School on Homecoming weekend. The game was tough and physical, but the girls were able to pull through 2-0 with their first win in the league. Part of their success is attributed to the friendships formed on the field. Newcomer Olivia Hartmann "16 said, "The girls are a tight knit group of encouragement and energy. Even after only knowing them for a few days, I already felt like I was part of the team." JV girls soccer led a fun and energetic season welcoming in all new members from eighth graders to new seniors and post grads, showing that everyone can have a great time when they are part of such a good team. by Olivia Hartmann 76

the COURSE When I start the second loop (3k mark), I don't really think about it, I just do it. I just think I have to push myself until the end and remember that 'when you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe then you'll be successful' (Eric Thomas). -Alexander III'17 "During the first hill of the race, I like to keep my head down and go slow and steady. We hit this hill twice on the course so it is important to push past the pain." -Michael Fitzgerald '16

"When I'm coming up the second hill, I'm thinking 2 things: 1) that this is the time where I should pass someone because it's our course, and we train for this specific moment, and 2) that after this I only have 2 hills left (hahaha)." -Amelia Cura '17
"The back straightaway is definitely one of my favorite parts of the course because it's mostly flat, and it's after completing the big hill. I'm usually feeling pretty good around then and thinking positive thoughts." -Natalie Davis '17

"VFINISH
varsity cross country BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER "it is hot and humid out, not good running conditions, especially not for my first meet back after I had injured my patella tendon. Despite my anxiety, I ready myself for the race, and when the buzzer blares for me to go, I run." Amidst an away duel race against Blair Academy, varsity runner Alexander III '17 set the scene for his first race back after recovering from a compromising leg injury that took several weeks to heal. Ill's love for the sport bled through to his dedication to the race and pushing himself until the finish line. He said, "After not running for awhile, I had
forgotten exactly how it makes me feel: alive. I block everything out in my life and just focus on the race. With each stride I take, I overcome my worries about not getting the same times as usual or injuring my tendon again." For many cross country runners, mental toughness is the key to setting a personal record. Blair's course has an infamous record for being rather hilly with many slippery acorns. With this in mind, the team needed to stay focused on their footing. Ill comments on his mental thoughts during the homestretch of the course: "I approach the last hill, and I keep
running. I like to push my body to its full potential but it can be exhausting. I notice that there are several people in front of me and dash to keep up." Between this point and the remainder of the race, III recognized that he needed to "kick it in gear"; in the last few minutes of the race, he transitioned from 4th to 2nd place, just missing first place by a few seconds. On the Blair race loss, III commented, "In the end, we may not have won, but I got to do what I love to do: run." Although Blair ultimately won the meet, the undying heart of this team was what kept their
runners successful race after race. As cross country is a physically taxing sport, they experienced an overwhelming number of injuries in this year alone-from concussions to knee injuries to shin splints. However, no matter how big the set back, these runners knew how to turn up the heat when they stepped foot on the race courses: discipline that reflected their commitment to perseverance.

Junior Varsity Field Hockey The Junior Varsity team cheered as they watched the blazing ball strike against the backboard at Nottingham High School. Twenty seconds prior, the girls gathered around the circle for a short corner. Laura McBryan '18 inserted the ball to Emily Ward '19, who halted the ball then made a hard drive into the circle. McBryan, with accurate positioning and good deflection, slapped the ball into the goal cage. Coach Ms. Loffredo said, "It was a beautiful goal and the girls facial expressions made it the best." Despite the long and rough patched grass at Nottingham, nothing could stop the team from triumph. On and off the field, the girls formed a tight bond that was different from any other field hockey season. Isabel Poznanski 17 says, "Whether we are listening to music on the bus or making each other psych buddy bags we always find a way to bring the team together and have fun." Each game, the team wore matching hair bows that were either red, black, or white. Being in sync meant everyone was unified into one team no matter what grade or skill level. by Sophia Davis '18

GAME AT A TIME The JV Boys soccer team came out with fire, starting with a 1-1 tie against the Morristown Beard School, and then crushing Pennington 5-2. The game against Pennington started out slow with the Raiders falling behind 1-0 in the first ten minutes. After some time, Sebastian Lawrence '19 scored a goal to even the score at 1. Not long after, Andre Balian '19 shot a rocket that quickly found the back of the net from just outside the 18. By the end of the first half, Balian had scored again off of a beautiful cross from his brother Dikran Balian '17. Hun held a commanding 3-1 lead at the half. The Raiders kept the intensity up during the second half with Xuhuan Zhao '17 capitalizing on a free kick from 30 yards out. Pennington attacked hard in the second half but strong efforts from the defense led by center back Christopher Pontrella '18 kept the game at a comfortable score of 4-1. Although Pennington tacked on another goal late in the second half, Lawrence found the back of the net once again by beating the goalie one on one and poking in his second goal of the game. The first win of the season set the tone for the JV boys, and the rest of the season reflected their commitment, positivity, and teamwork. by John Sinuk '17

after a tough loss to Germantown Academy last year, the boys learned from their mistakes and fought long and hard to beat them 5-3.
GROUND UP
"We knew they were going to be a tough and physical team," said Patrick Nally 17, "we prepared well in prior days at practice and felt comfortable and confident when the game arrived." The Germantown Academy game was one of the biggest of the season. After a heartbreaking loss last year, Hun wanted revenge. Hun started off well and quickly controlled the pace of the game. A beautiful cross from Michael Campbell '18, and great finish from Gunnar Schellscheidt '17 put Hun up 1-0 Ricardo Picon '16 said, "our first goal was a great team play. Just by maintaining the possession of the ball, enjoying the game, and having confidence in ourselves, we scored a goal where almost everyone in the field was part of the play. I specifically enjoyed this goal because we were playing as a team and having fun at the same time, which I think is something really important in soccer." Later in the first half, Joseph O'Dowd '17 took advantage of a bouncing ball and scored a
volley that put Hun up 2-0 going into halftime. Two quick goals early in the second half for Germantown put the pressure on Hun. Halfway through the second half, Malik Cobb '16 made a run down the side into Germantown's zone, was pulled down, and converted on his penalty kick. A minute later, Germantown evened the score. The intensity of the game was high, and with under 5 minutes left in the game, Hun earned a corner kick. Nally took the kick and found Campbell's head which gave Hun the lead 4-3. Hun's defense played tough and kept Germantown out of the zone. With under 20 seconds to go in the game, Connor Hufer '17 played Nally a through ball, and he was able to deflect it into the net. Logan Leppo '17 had a great game, with 10 saves on the day. Overall, it was a fantastic team effort and a hard fought win. by Kathenne Consoli '76 and Patrick Nally '17

WITH LOVE varsity girls tennis The Varsity Tennis team is a very unique team. We only had seven girls on our team, which is extremely small when compared to any other team at Hun. "We are a small family. We had fun moments every day at practice, and we are all so close with each other," said Olivia Kotler 16, one of our two team captains. With four returning varsity players and three new varsity stars, our team had a good season. We came in fourth in the MAPL League and ended the season with a record of 5-7. Two of our players, Chelsea Braithwaite '17 and Paige Braithwaite '17 actually made it to the semi finals and finals, respectively, in the MAPL Championship. We had several intense matches, "especially our match against Mercersberg" said Chelsea Braithwaite. It all came down to one match to decide who won; however, our third singles player lost in a 10 point tie-breaker 10-12. It was amazing how close some of our matches came to. In every match we had, we always came out with determined attitudes and worked every day in practice to strive for greatness. We had an amazing coach, Mrs. Cheryl Beal, who worked hard to give us everything we needed. She was very supportive and gave all seven of us so much affection and attention She was there through everything, all of our ups and downs. Without Coach Beal, our team would not have been where we were at the end of the season. According to Coach Beal, a season highlight was, "beating Peddie for the first time in a long time, which was really exciting for both me and the girls," Every player on the varsity tennis team played both good and bad matches, but as a team, we were all there to encourage each other until the last match was finished. We always stayed and cheered for each player when we were not playing, and we were always there to support each other through all of the ups and downs that we each faced. Tennis is a tough sport to play, as it is mostly a mental game Focus and support from teammates is crucial, and our team certainly made sure each us felt that support. by Paige Braithwaite '17
quick moments, lasting memones
"The team is truly one of the kindest, funniest, and overa toughest group of girls I know. It is really special because I feel like the group has been together for awhile, yet there were still several new faces on the varsity team that seemed to fit right in. One of my favorite moments of the season was when I was playing Paige during preseason. We were exhausted going back and forth in the first set of our challenge match, and she was getting upset, but then she looked at me and said "Im playing one of my best friends. Why should I be getting mad? This is fun, and tennis is supposed to be fun!" There were also many moments during the season when everything really felt like a struggle. We always brought our best to every match and tried to have a positive attitude even when everything got hard. AH the girls mean a lot to me, and I am going to miss it a lot." - Caroline Wilkinson '16

IT UP The JV Tennis season started off with two losses but then gained momentum with a winning streak of three matches. The third match in the winning streak, away at Pennington, was one of the most notable in the season. One player, Isabella Arduini '17, said, "The Pennington away match really helped me solidify the partnership I had with my doubles partner". This year, the team dynamic was that of a close-knit group of girls. Sanna Skeppner '18 said, "The season was so fun. I feel like we all improved so 1 j GETTING much and by the end, we were all one big family." Despite having a losing season, players of the team felt they learned and grew a lot.

1. How have you used the information learned from last year to apply it to this year? It was mostly muscle memory. Dr. Fabian really drilled the moves into us, so it wasn't hard to fall into the motions again. 2. What is your favorite move? My favorite moves are the wrist releases. They're very practical and empowering to learn. 3. For you personally, what is different about this year than last year'' I'm definitely much better than I was last year. I'm also one of the most experienced students this year, which means I've been able to help other students out. It's been a very rewarding experience. -Sarah Willenbucher'18

Because AHAMA members take pride in their practice and preparation, the members spent every practice working towards perfection in order to pass tests for higher belts. Every practice started with a bow to their instructor, to express respect. A short meditation session before a dynamic warm-up helped the group gather their minds and focus. Next, a series of front punches worked in a "horse stand," which was followed by work on falls, wrist releases, and throws. Finally, they took part in a kicking and punching workout in order to be prepared for their belt tests. Fatema Al Daraai '16 said, "I like the sense of empowerment Martial Arts gives. And I love how AHAMA has been a small yet an accepting group with the best instructor you can ask for. I felt happy and proud when I got my new belt. It's an exam I look forward to passing!" AHAMA is about "the co-existence between mental and physical balance," said Zelan Von Kaenel '18. "I can apply the patience and focus I improve on to everyday events." by Katherine Consoli "16

LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD, PLAY GOOD, RIGHT? The Girls Crew team practiced on the water-Mercer Lake-Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This year, they spiced up every Wednesday water practice with a different clothing theme. Pictured to the right are "America day" and "Hawaiian Day." Other theme days included "Camo Day," "Mismatched Patterned day," and "Black out." By dressing up in unison, the girls created a nice sense of team spirit.
THE NEW
ROW-mantics HOUR OF POWER Whoosh! The sound of the ergs spread through the cardio room as the fall crew team warmed up for their workout. Their task of the day was called "hour of power." This was an intense erg workout where the rowers tried to row as hard as they could for an hour straight. Since this workout entailed strength, stamina, and mental toughness, many rowers felt a love-hate relationship with it. The Hun crew team began their workout motivated to get better. Clare Moloney '17 said, "an hour of power starts out great for the first ten minutes, then you realize you have fifty minutes left." During the middle segment of this erg piece, the rowers looked to their coxswains for encouragement to push through the pain. For many, the middle piece was the hardest part. When it is no longer the beginning of the workout, but you're still so far from the end, staying mentally strong when you are physically worn out is what helps most of the rowers keep pushing through. Sophomore Kaittyn Dillaway described what helped her keep going during the middle of the piece: "Basically, you are dying for an hour, but loud, upbeat music and the encouragement of the coxswains help you get to
the finish." Once the rowers started to near that full hour, the pace started to pick back up again As the rowers realized how far they had come, the adrenaline kicked in, and they made one final push For the last few minutes of the workout, the energy of the team spiked, and many people had more motivation than in the middle of the piece. When the countdown timer on the erg hit zero, the whole team was filled with pride and accomplishment in themselves and their teammates for completing such a taxing workout On finishing the piece, Katherine Linnehan 18 commented, "It was really rewarding to finish, ana mentally challenging along with physically challenging. It was also a lot of fun to get to complete it as a team " This workout made the Hun fall crew team stronger as a whole Rebecca Holloway '18 shared some positive insight on the experience: "Sixty long minutes at an ideally steady pace was as mentally challenging as ever, but we now know our endurance limits as a team, and we're ready to pull for each other facing the 2.5 mile course at Head of the Schuylkill." by Manssa Clover '18

insight into the winter training season As Kaitlyn Dillaway "18 said, "erging is torture." While erging is generally disliked by rowers, the crew team strived to make erging as enjoyable as possible. One thing that can make any workout more enjoyable is a good playlist. For harder pieces, the team had a spotify playlist to encourage them. Most days though, the team listened to Pandora. These Pandora stations, which have become a staple of the cardio room, included Hannah Montana radio. High School Musical radio, and various country stations. As described by Marissa Clover '18, "Music makes erging better because if it has a good beat it can help you get a consistent stroke rating throughout the piece. And, most importantly, it pumps you up!" by Amanda Morrison 18

bf legacy With the weekly Friday practice at the Lawrenceviile School, the Squash team has found a way to have success in only their first year as a varsity team at Hun. With three players who are nationally ranked, the potential for a division among the top and bottom players seemed apparent, but with strong leadership and a close-knit group, there would be no such problem. Team Captain Wilshire Hagen '16 says, "Being a team captain and an experienced player, I tend to do more coaching than playing in practice, but I'll do anything to spread excitement about Squash". In matches that are best-of-seven, or best-of-nine, the Squash team had not managed to find an early victory, but that did not stop their growth. Coach Blair Buck says, "We get better with each match", and rightly so. But with only four hours of practice per week, the Squash team knows that they must make the best of this limited time, so, by practicing drills such as "offense, defense", the whole team gets involved. Hagen says, "When playing offense defense, the whole team gets really amped up, which in return helps them to play at a higher level come matchtime". Unfortunately for the new team, matches would prove to be difficult, going against some schools with a victorious squash tradition, but that didn't keep the team from becoming ruthless during matches. Starting off rough, with four straight losses, the Squash team rebounded, and would find a way to win two straight matches. A previous loss to Princeton Day School would not discourage the team either and resulted in wins from the top three Hun players, and a comeback win from Christopher Chiminski '16. Riding high off the first win of the season, Hun Squash looked to carry their success into the next match against Millburn High School; however, three of the starters for the match were not able to attend. This did not slow Hun down, however, and players such as Benjamin Musoke-Lubega '16 stepped up to the challenge; he would win his set 3-0. With another three wins from the top players of the Hun team, Hun managed to secure its second straight win. Throughout the rest of the season, Hun could not pull in a victory for its final match of the season against Lawrenceviile; however, with strong play from the team leaders, including an undefeated campaign from Wilshire Hagen '16, and highly successful seasons from Sean Oen '16 and Brynn Bank '17, the team managed to have a season that would show development across the team roster. Even though they expected more success, being the first team at Hun in 55 years, the season became a learning experience for those players who would return next year, and prepare them for even more successful seasons in the years to come. by Nichols

overtime and sealed their victory by capitalizing on free throws. Hun's teamwork and effort throughout the game kept them alive and really eventually pushed them over Lawrenceville. "We play our best when we are prepared both physically and mentally, play with energy and confidence, and have the attitude that no one is better than us," Tyler Washington '18 said, who made the game winning free throw. The whole game was back and forth, but in the final minutes, Hun dug deep to keep their physical and mental energy up. "I mentally prepared myself for the game by watching film, to know what the opponent's strengths and weaknesses were.
The practices leading up to the game my teammates and I worked on boxing out our man because vu new that Lawrenceville had son good rebounders," according to Philip French '16. The preparation before the game and knowledge of their opponent helped Hun prevail in the end. With seven seconds left, Lawrencville shot a three from the corner that bounced off the rim. With the clock ticking down and the ball loose, Harriot put up a great, final defensive effort, not allowing Lawrenceville the opportunity to cleanly rebound the ball.

Unfortunately for both teams, neither had won a game yet, and no matter what, one team would no longer be able to say that after 32 minutes of play. From tip off, the Hun boys knew that they were going to dominate this game, and their play reflected that, with a 22 12 lead at the end of the first quarter, and a 47 - 22 lead at the half. The JV boys continued to dominate Pennington, and would eventually win 71 - 42, with leading scorers Michael Alonzo '18 with 13 points, and Ryan O'Gorman '17 with 12 points.

••.^LUNGING FOR THEWIN varsity fencing
Fencing is a sport that combines individual motivation and team work. Even though each bout is one on one, the win of a bout is for the team. This season the fencing team focused on their dedication to teamwork; the team was composed of both experienced and unexperienced fencers. The whole team collaborated well together and balanced an environment of enjoyment and dedication. Captain Ximena Iriarte Estrada '18 said, "I was delighted to find out I was captain and weapon leader for foil, especially since I am only a sophomore. It was a new experience for me to take care of a team and a great responsibility
being captain, but very rewarding. I particularly enjoyed inspiring my teammates to do their best during every practice and match." Ranran Shen '18 added, " Last year I was on JV fencing and had never fenced before; Ximena and my other teammates inspired me to further pursue fencing. Over the summer, I found a fencing coach in China and practiced extensively. It was really cool to see my hard work pay off as this year I was on the varsity team in the B strip for foil. Ximena and I have become great friends, and she continues to teach me a lot during practices and matches. It was so much fun to fence with all the varsity fencers, and I can't wait for next year!" The
tournament particularly stood out to Ximena as a time frame during which her teammates showed improvement. She recollects that "The team practiced a lot before the tournament and that each person did about 14 bouts in one day. We were all tired, but kept pushing ourselves to do our best. The determination my teammates showed made me very proud to be their coach." by Elisabeth Atlasman '16

VARSITY ICE HOCKEY
Back-to-back champions! On February 19, 2016, the Varsity Ice Hockey team won its third consecutive Mercer County title, going down in the history books as the first ever team to accomplish this feat after breaking Notre Dame High School's two-title streak back in the 2013-2014 season. Each season since 2013 has been the same match-up: Hun vs. Notre Dame, and each championship game has come with three periods of well-played hockey by two talented teams. This tournament, the boys stepped up their game though, showing from the first period that they were determined to win. Blake Brown '17 opened up the scoring just seconds into the first half. From there, the Hun boys never slowed down with Jonathan Bendorf '17 scoring two more goals in the first period. It was obvious that their months of practice and game play prepared them for this moment. The team play like a well-oiled machine. One of the highlights of the game was a 6 on 3 for Notre Dame in the third period. Two Hun players were in the penalty box and Notre Dame pulled their goalie for an extra man to create the 6 on 3 situation and increase their scoring chances, but Hun's defense and goalie Travis Pelke '16 continued to impress. They kept Notre Dame from scoring, and even put up a goal of their own on the empty net, courtesy of Brown, who finished the night with a hat trick. The rink was electric, with both the Notre Dame and Hun student sections going all out to support their respective teams. The Hun student section, according to the Instagram posts and comments by the players later in the evening, was a huge factor in the team's

For the fans in the crowd, the game was not only fun to watch, but also fun to be a part of The fans were amazing, and the players were even better.

It was an unbelievable night for everyone involved. Kyle Pettoni '16, who did not get to play in the tournament at all since he was above the age limit, was really proud of his teammates saying, "it was a hard fought game all the way until the last buzzer As much as I wanted to be out there playing in front of almost the entire school, it was still a great feeling to be a part of a team that made history Those are the games we live for, and the moments that will never be forgotten." by Emma

In Joseph O'Dowd '17's words, "our team dynamic this year was beyond perfect, and we played more as a family than just a team. We won a good number of games and just had fun. The best games were when we beat Lawrenceville 43 and then again 3-2 to win the JV Tourney." The team started their season strong with a tie against Holy Ghost Prep and ended even stronger with a win against Lawrenceville. The conclusion to the season was one the boys will never forget.

Nia Sapia '19 breaks away from her opponent, sprinting down the court to put two points up on the board for the Raiders.
'NEW FACES NEW PLACES Swoosh! Kobimdi Iheoma '19, top scorer of the game with 8 points, makes another basket with fast feet and focus. Instantly, from the sideline, the other team throws the ball in and dribbles down the court. With passion and heat in Hun's eyes, the team marked up their opponents and stood their ground on defense. The aggressiveness of the girls prevented the ball from bouncing in the net. The final score was 24-34. Tiffany Oliver '18 says, "Even though it was a loss, we came in with a positive mindset and strong defense during the game against Hill." This year, the Junior Varsity Team is comprised of girls who are new to the school. The winter season helped form a friendship among one another where every player got to know each other. Oliver adds, "It's my
first time really being a part of a team since my other sport, track, is more of an individual sport. It's a great feeling to be a part of something with other people so you can learn and grow together." This season, Brianna Joyce '18 and Ying Ge Jiang '19 were the team managers who acted as supportive cheerleaders on the sidelines. After watching every game, they both got to witness improvement. Joyce says, "The main job for a team manager is being responsible for the book in which you track the points scored by each player's, fouls, and timeouts. It's important to keep record of these elements correctly, because they can provide useful information for the coaches." by Sophia Davis 18

Splash! Into the pool goes Jake McBride '19 for his warmup; Cyrus Ettehadieh '16 and Cindy Qin '18 follow close behind. The team's most experienced member, Robert Hilly '16 does a perfect breakout (the moment that transitions a swimmer from kicking to actually swimming) and swims effortlessly through the water. This year, the swim team, though small, is very talented. A lot of the swimmers swim not only for the Raiders but also for outside club teams. "Having a number of our swimmers be club swimmers adds a lot of flexibility and depth to our meet lineup," says Hilly. Swimming, unlike many other sports, requires a distinct mental toughness and need for intense self motivation. To be an elite swimmer requires immense discipline to train both in the pool and on land, and both physical and mental stamina to progress and improve your time. A typical swim practice consists of
Swimming
drills to improve technique and speed with varying amounts of distance. "During practice, we're pretty quiet. We're each concentrating on our technique and pushing ourselves. We don't have enough time to joke around, but when we do relay races, then it's fun time We joke around saying to each other how we're going to smoke them in a race" says Hilly. Though it is called the swim team, swimming is not a team sport in the literal sense. There are no time outs, or subs; its just the swimmer vs. the clock. Sometimes, yes, swimmers enter into a relay but each piece of that race is an individual working alone to get the best time that he or she can. Regardless of the singularity of the sport, Hun swimming is a close knit group. Hilly says of the team, "if I was asked to say anything negative about this group, I wouldn't be able to. Throughout the season we have all gotten very close; we
cheer each other on during our races, and we push the people in our lane in practice to go faster " At the first meet against The George School. Madeline Petty '18 took first in the 100 back, nearly beating her personal best time. It was exhilarating to watch her glide through the water and walk away with the win. It proved that all her hours of hard work were paying off. During that same meet, Hun swept the 100 breaststroke placing first second and third. That sweep was a testament to the determination of our swimmers and the work they are willing to put into their sport. What makes Hun swimming so special, according to Hilly, is the coaches. He says, "Coach Coler and Coach Martes take a more laid back approach to coaching. They are both highly knowledgeable about swimming and will help a swimmer out with the technique of his stroke or say to h i m that they needs
to push himserf harder during a sprint set. But, at the end of the day, a swimmer is going to improve his respective strokes because of his own self determination.' Though the Hun swim team was smaller than most of the other teams it competes against, the athletes pushed themselves extremely hard, and with more depth than ever this year, the team was well on its way to making a name for itself. by Louisa Kolma~ 8 and Emma Consol

Spring Training Trips CREW
While half of the student body kicked back and relaxed during the first week of March break, many spring athletes traveled south to tram hard for their upcoming seasons. The crew team took advantage of the warm lakes m Clemson, South Carolina; a few hours north of them, the girls lacrosse team sweated it out m the sunny weather of Hilton Head, South Carolina Meanwhile, the baseball and Softball teams worked hard in St Lucie, Florida and Orlando, Florida, while the boys lacrosse team en/oyed the mountains of Arizona AH mall, the succes* r>f r>u> *pr>'vj seasons were much due to the efforts put m during the off seasc»
BASEBALL
The crew team traveled to Clemson University to train for their season on rowable water, considering that Mercer Lake was freezing back home. From 6 am wake up calls; to jogging to the boathouse; to drill work in the morning; to competitive pieces in the afternoon, the team put in the mileage, expanded their capabilities, and cemented their techniques. This year, the trip was just as enjoyable off the water with team bonding activities like gokarting, hair makeovers, mini golf, BBQ dinners, ice cream trips, and CVS runs. As a whole, the crews developed a strong team chemistry and made a splash in South Carolina.
" H
"The Varsity Crew trip to Clemson was an amazing bonding experience and improvement opportunity for both the girls and boys varsity crews. We had five days of practices on the water, two hours in the morning, and two hours in the afternoon. Both the girls and the boys ran two miles to breakfast every morning and did post row workouts too. Coach Weinstein constantly changed the girls' boats, which not only helped people improve their techniques, but also made us all closer as a team. Our team ice cream run and dinner were great bonding activities, but some of the best bonding off water happened when it was not planned. Everyone improved individually and became closer; therefore, the whole team became significantly stronger on the trip." -Elizabeth Briggs '18

"We went down to Port St Lucie this spring for the baseball trip. It was a specyear for the whole team because it was the last Florida trip that Coach McQu* would be coming on. Coach McQuade is one of the best coaches I have ever h£ and 1 know everyone will miss him and his love for the game. Thank you, Coac McQuade. During practices, everyone worked extremely hard, and we gre together as a program We usually practiced twice a day unless we had a game m which case we would only practice once a day. In our free time, most o f * guys went to other people's rooms and just relaxed and played some PS4c other video games. Coming out of Florida, I believe we have a strong progra" and that we will do big things this year. " -Ryan Strype "17
BOYS LACROSSE
"We worked really hard down in Orlando, Florida. It was very hot, and some girls even got sick, but our team definitely clicked there, and that will carry on throughout the season, so I'm excited to be 3 part of it! The practices were always hard. We practiced three times a day, or we would have a game with two practices beforehand. Thus, we never reaHy got a break. And that's what really bonds a team: we needed to stick together and pick each other up to keep going. We also had fun at night going out to eat, or going to the [Walt Disney World] parks, or making time to spend with our teammates." -Julie Fassl '17
"The Spring lacrosse trip to Arizona was one of the best team bonding experiences imaginable. From the hike up Camelback Mountain, to the team barbecues and dinners that we had every night, I got to know the extent of my teammates' strength, commitment and loyalty to the program that I now call home. The practices, though hot and long, were extremely productive and developed each and every one of us into better players. All three coaches worked with us personally, correcting the small complications in our individual games that prevented us from progressing even more rapidly than we already were. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that will hopefully lead to an unforgettable season and undying friendships." -James Campbell '16
GIRLS LACROSSE
"I'm used to being in a house with all boys, so living with all girls on the Spring Break trip was quite the change! We made memories to say the least. Whether it was staying up all night eating cereal and ice cream or singing to the Jonas brothers on the way home from practice, we never failed to laugh. All our practices usually ran off the same schedule. We got down to the field and immediately started stretching and running. Usually, there was a lot of fitness with some stick work and 7v7s. No matter how tired you got, you always had a teammate right beside you pushing you past your limits. That's just what being a teammate is about. I can't wait to go back and do it all again next year." -Shannon Dudeck '17 S p n n g B r e a k -| 1 J ' U

The JV Boys' Lacrosse team is looking to build off a successful season. The JV team, along with Varsity, has been working out and having practices as a team throughout the fall and the winter in order to buitd a successful team dynamic. With the addition of new players from all grades, the boys are hoping to come together as a team and, most importantly, have fun. According to Team Captain Tanner Preston '17, Nl think that as a team we are more inexperienced than others; however, we use that as fuel to improve, and I think we will end up having more drive and willpower to win than other teams. Overall, it should be a fun season, and it has been easy to get along with everyone and build chemistry that can hopefully help us to pull together some wins." The team is optimistic about their season and has won the few scrimmages they played, which they hope will translate to a winning season. Only time will tell, but with the leadership and perseverance of the players, JV looks brighter than ever. by Savannah Rudek 17 and John Smuk '17

ONE IS NONE After coming off an unprecedented 19-1 season, which included competing for a national championship in the Inter-Ac Challenge, and winning the state championship, the Hun Boy's Varsity Lacrosse team is looking for another successful season. Coach MV Whitlow made sure before and during the season to remind his team that One is None." This means that one season does not matter if you do not follow it up with another one the next year. With a target on their backs, the Hun boys lacrosse team opened their season and took on their first nationally ranked team of the year — Georgetown Prep, ranked number 14 in the country. Clearly understanding Coach Whitlow's quote, they boys dominated in a 148 win. This explosive win opened up the season and set the pace for the remainder of the year, with the boys following up their victory against Georgetown Prep with a 17-6 win over Blair Academy and an 18-8 win over Don Bosco Prep.

Varsity Softball
The Softball team is bigger than it's been in a long time - seventeen players and a manager. Because of this, it was one of the strongest and liveliest teams to be on. The Softball team traveled to Orlando where they worked three to seven hours a day, practicing, scrimmaging and bonding. Disney had its ups and downs - it was a drastic change going from the little gym to the large hot fields of Florida, but overall, the improvement was obvious. Kacey Abitz '16 said, "Florida was a teaching experience for the new girls, and also a learning experience for me, and I'm sure Alyssa and Goeke feel the same since we've had to figure out what works and what doesn't to become successful leaders. I think this year is going to be one of the best years of my experiences [on the field]. I know I transferred in last year, but the team has so much potential - I haven't seen a school team so talented. I'm hoping that my co<aptains, the Quirks, and I can tap into that potential to help us have one of the best seasons the team has seen. I believe in the girls on this team, and I know we can win. We need a MAPL win, and I know this year we have the ability to do it. We just need to focus and be on our toes and believe in ourselves and our teammates." The team definitely has the ability to

go above and beyond this season With several players in travel teams and a couple looking to play college Softball, the potential is there; all the girls have to do is work hard to reach their goals. Up until April, all of the games had been scrimmages, and once April hit, the season began with an intense game against one of Softball's biggest rivals: Peddie. With good at bats starting the game, the girls were looking confident, but Peddie wanted to win just as much as we did. After some back and fourth and a fantastic tworun home-run from Julie Fassl '17 the score was 11-8. In the seventh inning, Peddie rallied leaving the score at 11-10, but, with some confident defense in the infield, our girls held on, and brought home the first win of the season Coach Kathy Quirk said, "The win against Peddie was a monkey off our backs" The win gave the team the confidence and determination that will hopefully carry the team through the season With at least two games a week, and practices every other day, the sport is very demanding, but well worth it. In the end, everyone involved in this team is extremely devoted to the sport - they take pride in the work they put in, and in each other, and have an intense love of the game which will hopefully bring them a successful season. by Olivia Hartmann 76

have pride Varsity GIRLS LACROSSE ALL IN, ALL OUT For the second year in a row, members of the Varsity and Junior Varsity Girls Lacrosse teams traveled to Hilton Head, South Carolina for the annual Spring Break trip. Like most sports trips, the goal of the week was to bond, work hard, and improve, while also incorporating some fun. When not on the field, the team enjoyed trips to the beach and resort pools, shopping and eating in the local town, a horseback riding trip through the South Carolinian woodlands, and the long anticipated doubles tennis match between Coach Cook and Coach Hughes vs. Lindsay Ruddy '16 and Madison McNulty '17. At practice, the players worked tirelessly everyday on not only fundamentals, but also
complex plays and a new defensive style. The Varsity team continued to practice and implement this new defense in order to be even more successful throughout the season. Head Coach Liz Cook and Assistant Coach Jillian Hughes, believed that the new "Backer Defense" would help organize and strengthen the defensive unit The team had the opportunity to test the backer in two separate scrimmages, one against Bluffton High, a local high school, and the other againt Saint Catherine's, a visiting school from Virginia. Both contests showcased the backer's success, as well as smooth transition, crisp offensive play, and fantastic teamwork. When the team returned home from South Carolina, the intensity of

atiencel Golf is a sport about patience and control. All it takes is one stroke to change your mindset of the game. In one stroke, it can be either one of the best sports or the worse sports. For some, keeping their demeanor the same through the entire round can be extremely difficult. The team is made up of a variety of students ranging from freshmen through seniors. For practices, the team goes out to their home course Jasna Polana to work on their skills. On Mondays and Fridays, the course is closed for maintenance so the team travels to a driving range to work on controlling the ball and hitting it towards a specific target. On days that the team has a match, they will play six players. The top five scores amongst the six players count for the overall team score. Whichever team has the lowest team score at the end of the match wins. While the team had a rough first start to the season, as the year progresses, so will the
team and each individuals playing ability The goal is that by the end of the season, everyone will have played his final match to his full potential. The key to playing well, said senior Kyle Pettoni '16 is "staying focused through the round and not letting a bad shot change your demeanor The other important aspect is staying healthyLast year, Pettoni ended the season due a back injury, which has unfortunately found its way back this season. "It's tough playing on it, but I love being out there on the links and playing with the team. It is a great group to be a part of and everyone supports one another The most important thing is that we all have fun." Even though the team had a rough start to the season, through dedication, control, and playing what they love, everything will end as planned. by Kyle Pettoni

FACES OF VICTORY Wilshire Hagen'16 demonstrates his celebration poses.
r\ When asked about what the golf team has meant to him, Hagen responds, "Through the past four years, Hun Golf has taught me integrity and respect, something that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. What can be better than playing golf with friends? Playing golf has also produced some of my fondest memories at Hun. From long bus rides to jokes with teammates, Golf was a blast. It really gave me something to look forward to at the end of the day."

TO OUR HOUSE methods to launching There are many different ways that different teams prepare for practice; however, before the crew team can even begin their practice on the water, they have to launch their boat. This process involves getting "handson", bringing the boat up to shoulders, walking it outhouse, bringing it up over heads as they walk it down the dock ramp, then rolling it slowly into the water. Once the boats are in place, the ports get oars and starboards fix oarlocks. Then, on the coxswain's command, everybody sits in the boat, leans away, and pushes off the dock into the lake. What people might not know about the boats is that they have built-in shoes, and each person has to adjust.

ON EXPERIENCE AD-in, match point. I look at my partner, and we know the drill: Kick serve out wide, and put away the lob to win. We'd been practicing for this exact moment. The whole team was behind the fence, anxiously awaiting the outcome. As expected, my partner had my back, and we won off of his overhead smash, and we were met with applause and cheer from our team. This emphasis on teamwork and welcoming attitudes is what defines our team. Depending on one another for support and confidence helps everyone on the team, both singles and doubles, improve their playing. This season marked a transformation period for our team. Having lost three seniors, our returning players had to buckle down and become a tight-knit unit to display leadership and a welcoming community to our new teammates. To help with this transition, Coach Joan Nuse brought in Coach Neha Uberoi, a former WTA tour player who, as Co-Captain Benjamin Musoke-Lubega '16 describes, "pushed us to our very limits. To have a professional player improve our stroke-work and our stamina was grueling, but definitely very rewarding. As Co-Captains, Ajay and I kept our team morale up during

BEST
FOOT FORWARD Captain James Werosta '16 gives us the inside scoop on the little details-from his favorite players, to his role on the team, Q: Who was your childhood baseball idol and who is it now? My childhood and current baseball idol is David Wright of the New York Mets. I've always loved him because of the hustle and effort that he puts into everything that he does. Afso, when I was younger and went to spring training one year, he took the time out of a scrimmage to come over to the fence to sign my jersey and have a conversation with me. 0: What is your favorite position to play and why? My favorite position to play is pitcher because the pitcher is in total contro! of the game and everything goes at the pace that you set out there. Q: How has this team grown over the past four years? Over the past 4 years, I think that the largest growth within the program has been the mentality. The program has evolved to the point where every single player on our roster shows up to every game knowing that we have the ability to compete with anybody, and that makes a world of difference in how we perform. Q: How have you changed as a player over the years? I have definitely improved a lot physically throughout my time at Hun, thanks to the great coaches that we have here, but I have afso improved a lot mentally, which can be attributed to both the coaches and past players. Mentally, I think I've changed from freshman year where I kind of just showed up hoping that I would personally do well and that my stats would look good to the point now where I've realized that the statistics and personal performance do not matter. I have realized that the real goal is to do what I can to help out the team. Q: What advice would you give the underclassmen? IvTy advice to the younger players is to give it all in everything you do on and off of the field- When you put that max effort into everything you do, you'll surprise yourself with the results.

PITCH PERFECT. Starting pitcher Enrico Locascio "16 wound up to pitch his fastball to catcher Ryan Strype '17. Locascio said, "when I'm in motion, I literally have zero thoughts. My mind is entirely empty and muscle memory takes over." 3. STEP UP TO THE PLATE. Watching his footing, Christopher lazzetta "16 got his stance ready before receiving his first pitch. After a 3-2 count, he went on to walk to first base. 4. LET'S GO BOYS. After Coach Bill McQuade gave the team a pre-game pep talk, thev all brought their hands in for a Hun cheer. 5. STRIDE AWAY. George Revock '16, pinch hitter for the Raiders, sprinted down the first baststretch after hitting the ball through a gap between 2nd and 3rd base. As a pinch hitter, Revock reflected on his batting habits and said, "I have my own routine I go through when i go to the plate. I don't know how it started, but I've been doing the same thing since i was ten. Right batting glove on first, then left. I always put my left foot in the box first and then just get ready. I try not to change things up even with the count because then it distracts you from your routine." 6. DINGERS FOR DAYS. David Mumme '16 launched a ball into right field before sprinting to first base. Before every game, Mumme has a specific routine: "I watch the other team from all different aspects before we take the field. How they warm up as a team and how their pitcher warms up before the game starts."

JV BAbbtfALL bHARPtNb I HtIK SKILLS ON THE FIELD, AND AT BAT, INCHING THEIR WAY TOWARDS A DOMINATING SEASON BATTER UP! In the top of the fourth inning of Hun's game versus Lawrenceville, Pitcher Thomas Ramsay '18 released a fastball pitch to catcher Blane Soper '19. With a crack, the ball flew off of the Lawrenceville player's bat and grounded towards shortstop. Stepping towards the play, shortstop Dakota Howell '19 picked up the live ball and whipped it to first baseman, Edward Coptin '19 , who sent the Lawrenceville batter back to his dugout with a forced out. With that final out and a score of 13-3, the umpire ended the game and crowned Hun victorious. Ramsay pitched a complete game, only giving up three runs against Lawrenceville and the offense was explosive, earning 4 runs in the first inning and 7 more in the second. Ramsay said, "Our energy and team chemistry is what makes us a good team. We are probably the most young and enthusiastic team top to bottom." Pinch hitter Adam Wtjaya '18, who hit a fence-hopping double and a single in two at bats, said in retrospect of the victory, "The biggest thing was being aggressive early in counts and putting runs up in the first couple innings. It's just awesome to beat Lawrenceville." The team on the field had great communication and energy. Some even have handshakes. Christopher Pontrella '18 and Ramsay have a thumb war before every game to get psyched. This team's bond was what ultimately made them successful on the field. by Sophia Davis '18

GOT GAME? in Coach Bill McQuade's final baseball season at Hun, the Raiders started the season off with an impressive 16-0 win against rival Lawrenceville School Pitcher James Werosta '16 faced over 15 batters, and gave up no hits in five innings. When asked what his strategy was going into the game, Werosta said, "My game plan for the day was to throw as many strikes as possible, get ahead of the hitters, and mix up the speeds The coaches have been preaching that and like they say, if you can do those three things, good things will happen." Good things did happen, indeed. The Raiders attacked with their bats too as they quickly built a 6-0 lead heading into the bottom of the second. By game's end, all nine players in Hun's starting line-up had at least one hit; the whole team had 14 total. The boys ended the game with a score of 16-0. Leading the attack with two hits each were George Revock '16, Luke Apuzzi '16, and David Mumme '16. Freshman McGwire Tuffy '19 had a pair of hits himself. He later said, "It is an honor to be part of a special team like this one, especially being the youngest starter. My teammates made me feei very comfortable as soon as we stepped foot on the field- From there on, all nerves went away." The team's success in their first game and henceforth was a direct result of the work they put in during spring training. Senior Christopher lazzetta '16 said, "Coming out of spring training in Florida, we wanted to compete. We practiced everything-
hitting, fielding, the whole 9 yards-to make sure that we could." The same momentum was carried into the Raiders' home opener, where they had a 3-1 victory over the Perkiomen School. Robert Huselid '16 was on the mound for Hun and held Perkiomen to one earned run on 5 hits over 7 innings. The Raiders trailed 01, until Mumme hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the fifth. Those runs ended up being all that Hun would need to add another win to their column. When asked what it felt like to hit his first home run of the season at the home opener, Mumme replied, "I knew the ball was hit hard, but I really didn't have a clue that it was going out. It felt incredible that the home run was the game winner and this moment was easily one of the greatest experiences of my life." Later in the season, Mumme went on to hit five out of the park home runs within the Raider's first eight games. One of these games included an away game against Penntngton, where he hit three home runs in three at-bats. With a 5-2 record after that Pennington game. Raiders' baseball hit the season on a high note, but the season conclusion was a little bittersweet knowing that Coach PvicQuade would retire this year after 46 years at Hun. Coach McQuade was asked if he had thought about doing anything differently from years past and how special this season was to him; he said, "I was so fortunate to have been named the varsity coach when J started teaching at Hun. I have been so proud of the players that I have coached for their dedication and
desire to be the best players/people that they can be. My coaches and I only ask that each player do his best each and every day and that he respect his teammates, opponents, and most importantly, the game of baseball. This year's team is no different than other teams. They have shown that they are unselfish and willing to sacrifice personal goals for the good of the team. Our players love to compete and that is something that every coach wants to see from his or her athletes. The success of a team should not be measured in terms of wins or losses, rather it should be remembered for the character, integrity, and loyalty of its players. It has been an honor to coach at Hun and work with such a wonderful group of players." Senior George Revock '16, who has played for McQuade since his freshman year reflected on the coach: "After having McQuade for a coach for four years, he will always have a place in my heart. The only man who has affected my life more was my dad. Between his jokes and sayings, I'll never lose them when I grow up. He always brings a smile to everyone's face no matter what their mood, Maybe the younger guys don't know it, but without that man, Hun as well as the baseball team will never be the same." With most of the talent returning from last year's squad and emotions running high, the Hun Raiders were in position once again in 2016 to contend on all fronts for a championship. by Caroline Davis
catch • • • Hun's catchers give us perspective their jobs behind the plate
IF YOU CAN MATTHEW SOZIO'16 "During each game, I'm the one catching the bullpens. It can be a down to the wire type of thing when I'm warming up a pitcher and there are only 5 minutes or less for the pitcher to get ready, which isn 't usually enough time. Because of this, each pitch has to be 3$ efficient as possible. Maybe The most fun you can have while on the bench is psyching out the other team. " DANIEL MELN1CK "19 "I've been catching ever since I started olaying baseball which was around 4 years ^d. It is my favorite position because you are evolved in every pitch and have to control :he game. To accommodate my squat stance, I typically stretch a lot before the game and take a lap to get my legs loose. The most stressful part of catching is definitely blocking." RYANSTRYPE'17 "What I love about catching is that I'm involved in every pitch of the game. Baseball never gets boring for me because I'm always thinking behind the plate. Before each game, I talk with the starting pitcher on how he feels and to see what pitches are working ;hat day. I also mentally prepare myself for '^•e game. The most stressful part about catching is keeping every ball in front of you when runners are on base. No matter where the pitch is, I have to keep it in front of me to keep the runner from advancing because if I don't, it could end up costing us a run."

CREATING A LEGACY "National Signing Day" is a day for high school seniors to sign National Letters of Intent. The letters detail the commitment and expectations of a Division 1 collegiate athlete as set by the NCAA. By signing, the seniors agree to follow those expectations at a specific school; therefore, officially committing to that university's sport program. Hun has a great tradition of sending studentathletes to many Division 1 programs, including the Ivy League, which does not participate in National Signing Day. For nine Hun students, their hours of hard work led to tremendous success, as they signed to play at eight different universities. Another signing day will take place in April where

administration Congratulations, Class of 2016! You represent all that is best about The Hun School of Princeton. Over and again, we adults have marveled at your talents, admired your breadth, and bved your kindness, humility, andjoyful spirit. Thanks for all that you have given us; I hope you will always appreciate what we have given you. You will always have a home on Edgerstoune Road!"
Mr. Brougham Headmaster
JONATHAN BROUGHAM Headmaster Dear Students, Goodbyes are always difficult but, with them, come opportunities for reflection arxi appreciation. The Class of 2016 will be long remembered for the ways in which they individually and as a class helped build the community of kindness that so defines The Hun School of Princeton. It's fitting in a year that began with inspiring words from a Civil Rights legend that we end it with a book of memories that illustrate the best of who we are: thoughtful scholars, talented performers, skilled athletes, school and world citizens, who strive to make a difference. The Hun School of Princeton is not the campus or the buildings or even the programs. It's the people who are captured so vividly in this book. We hope tha t looking back can inspire you to look forward, with Hun always at your side and in your heart.

leavin IT'S THE LITTLE DETAILS THAT SENIORS WILL MISS MOST ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL. I
The past four years of high school have been an emotional roller coaster ride, full of exciting twists and turns that we thought would never end, until day by day, year by year, we got older, • taller, smarter, and finally ready to face the "real world." That's not to say that it was easy; we all know that it was a long and challenging process full of countless extra curricular commitments, late night study sessions, and the occasional all-nighter. Slowly but surely, we have learned how to budget our time (and sleep) wisely. Truth be told, the relationships we have formed with our teachers and our peers have taught us little things about who we are. Our characters are stronger from that one time we chose to persevere through a hard course; our heads are sharper from that one time we chose to stay longer at extra help until we understood the material; our hearts are fuller from standing together in great loss and great success. Hun will forever be a part of our lives because of the people it has made us into. As we get off the ride and enter the fastpaced world of the inevitable future, we have a solid foundation to back us up. Little by little, as we pull away from our years at Hun, we will find comfort in the fact that we will always be Raiders.

"If you're lucky enough to be different, don't ever change." -Taylor Swift I just want to thank my parents for everything they have done for me. They have driven endless hours for Softball tournaments, singing lessons, and recruiting camps (none of which were in the vicinity of the northeast since I love the south). I want to thank the people who helped me feel welcome to the community: Lily, Avery, Courtney, Caroline, Natalia, Matt, Tati, Shannon, Goeke, Robbie, Etan, and Rebecca, and especially Kieran. You guys are the reason I have a smile on my face! To Kieran, Caitlin Murray, a , and Olivia Olshevski- we had some of the funniest times. I promise I won't ever forget. To the Softball team and the Quirks- thank you guys for letting me be a part of the team. I am so glad I was able to become part of the Softball fam, and that I could contribute. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for the opportunities you gave me. It was because of Softball and the team that I was able to adjust so well to Hun. Congrats, Class of 2016! I wish you all the best of luck!
"Once a Raider, always a Raider". Congratulations Class of 2016. My 2 yean spent at Hun are ones bound to be remembered with no regrets. Thank you to all my teachers and friends who have been there for me throughout these years. A special thank you to May Tejuoso, Ximena Estrada and Rebecca Chanin for teaching me new cultures and Lily Alonzo, Avery Coble, Natalia Hadaway, Caroline Wilkinson, Robert Huselid, Satchel Bell and Caitlin Murray (#Squad) for being there when I needed anything. Merci maman et papa pour tous que vous avez faire pour men Je vous aime a la mort. Douala-Madrid-Teheran
I can't believe that I'm done with high school. This was the final chapter of our experience at Hun. I would like to thank all my teachers, friends and people from the staff for what they have done during these two amazing years. These two years have changed my life and I'm me, but I'm not who I was two years before. Me permito escribir unas lineas en Espariol para agradecer a las cinco personas ajenas al colegio que mas me han apoyado durante estos 2 anos. Estoy refiriendome a Papa, Mama, Juan, Sol y Pablo, un hermano, pero no de sangre. Gracias por darme esta oportunidad y animarme en ella. A veces las decisiones mas duras son las que mas nos dan en el future Os quiero. "Lo sono il padrone del mio destino: lo sono il capitano della mia anima." - William Ernest Henley. Madhd-Tehran-Douala.
Each time I say goodbye to a place I like, I feel like I am leaving a part of me behind. I guess whether we choose to travel as much as Marco Polo did, or stay in the same spot from cradle to grave, life is a sequence of births and deaths. Moments are born and moments die. Goodbye for now, and thanks :)
I 1 5 6 Senior: Abitz
Thank you to my family for supporting me throughout my life. And S/o to the squad and the friends I made this year: Floyd, Zay, Chedda, Lo Frazier, Freddo Ehh. "I feel like one of them ball playing youngin's. I got money, I can leave the league. But if I leave, the fans still gon' love me man?" - Money Making Mitch.
My time here was a memorable experience. I grew and learned a lot. There's nothing more I can say other than 'Thank You." Thank you God for keeping me and allowing me to succeed at Hun. Thank you Mom, Dad, Michael and Sharon-Rose for loving me and being my core support system. Thank you OD, Ms. Martin, Ms. Bishop, Mrs. Poller, Dr. Fabian, Mrs. Freeman, TLo, Mrs. Burkmar, Mrs. Mishra, Mr. Shaffner, Ms. Hallac, Mrs. Roux, and Mrs. Ice for giving me a wonderful education, guiding me in my journey here and believing in me. Thank you SQUAD: Satch, Talia, Caroline, Avery, Saraya, Catlin, and Tapti. I love you guys so much. I would not have been able to survive Hun without you guys. Thank you Etan, Bryan, Robbie, Mat, Courtney, Charlotte, Sarah, Sierra, Lauryn, Lucy, David, Shannon, and Andrea for your love and support. I love you guys and I am glad that I met each and every one of you. Congrats to my fellow classmates! To all those coming up, believe in yourself and keep your eye on the ball.
I would first like to thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to come to this great school and supporting me throughout my 6 years here. I would also like to thank the teachers and coaches for always pushing me to do my best. Soccer & Lacrosse - Well, every soccer season was usually a struggle but I would say by my senior year I have turned into an OK soccer player. The best memory from Hun soccer was the MCT run the team made my sophomore year. The most memorable moment from Hun lacrosse is how close the team became my junior year and our 19-0 up until the Inter-AC final. AS, OB, RN, GM, LP, AK, JK, GH, HY, JW, and the boys. And a few of the memories - Safeway, Mom made me chicken, Downtown, Splitoon, Wawa Runs, Griff's Mess, Sem's House, Mangoes, Fireplace, Owen's phone. Dirk and Eric, SMP, Moldy, Grape Jelly, R.I.

START
"I started go-kart racing in about 7th grade, but the interest for the sport started way before that. My brother was a go kart racer before me and I thought it was so cool. I mainly race in the summer. During that time, I go racing every other week, but in the winter less frequently. I travel to Florida every 4 or so weeks to compete during the winter months. My involvement picks back up around spring when it gets warm again. I hold many regional wins in the senior class, and one main championship in the junior class. My favorite part about racing would have to be the relationships I built with my friends. They really are like my second family." -Julia Boos
Mom & Dad - Thank you for the opportunities you have given me. Nothing I've done could be possible without you. Thank you. Love you. Matt, Lauren, Nicole You've all been there for me when necessary. Thank you. LongLiveTheBroShow... Thank you football team for a great senior year. MAPL Champs 8-0. SD thank you for everything, ily. Roll Ephs.

"There are no happy endings. Endings are the saddest part. So just give me a happy middle, and a very happy start." -Shel Silverstein Thanks to my family and friends who have supported me during high school. You have done so much for me and I'm eternally grateful. MG, CS, SH. SG, PR, LH, OH, AR, LA, SD
I blinked and suddenly I'm a senior... To my parents: No words can convey my gratitude for your unwavering support throughout the years. Thank you for filling my life with laughter and love. To my friends: It's hard to imagine not seeing your faces every day. So many memorable moments that I will cherish forever. To my teachers: Thank you for inspiring me to be the best version of myself I appreciate your guidance and support. To Chez Alice: Thank you for four years of croissant filled mornings. You will be missed. "You and I will meet again. When we're least expecting it. One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I wont say goodbye my friend. For you and I will meet again."-Tom Petty

GIANT Throughout her four years, Olivia Olshevski'16has never been seen without her trusty backpack, which is almost as big as her. She says, "1 carry about forty to fifty pounds throughout the school day. That's equivalent to about two eighteen-month toddlers or one six-year-old. I've tried a bunch of different backpacks over the years, and finding new ones each year is definitely a challenge. I've broken four backpacks since being at Hun due to the weight. I take just six classes. You would think I take a ton of classes, but this is actually the smallest number of classes I've ever had, and yet the most books I think I've ever carried around. The biggest challenge is either getting out of the car in the morning-it takes me awhile to get all of the books into my arms, and I always freak out that the car behind me is annoyed at how long it takes-or actually picking everything up. While it's easy enough to put down, it's almost comical watching me try to pick it all up again. Also, I like to feel a bit like Mary Poppins, and I very much consider this my sport for the year; lifting is hard. -Olivia Olshevski

"So How was Everyone's day?" - Griffin Barich That is what I said throughout Freshman and Sophomore year every time I walked into a room. Hun aims to prepare us for a world of constant change, but not only is the world changing, we are changing with it. One of the only things that have stayed constant for me have been my terrible, terrible jokes: "I think these clouds are not puffy enough" - Me in APUSH critiquing art. "Time for you to get a watch." - Me any time anyone asked what time it was. "Ooh I have a dentist's appointment. Toothhurty get it?" - Me anytime someone mentioned the time 2:30 I would like to thank the many people who helped me of which there are too many to name (especially though my parents for giving me the opportunity to be at Hun), but if you have interacted with me, you probably had a positive impact. Except: MC KC AK MJ MS SG TV NG ES JD OO KC KA LH EW CM MC NH. "Hard work is hard to do, you do it j because it's hard." - Some Genius Lyricist "Ethan Saiewitz

I still can't believe that this incredible journey is over, feels like only yesterday that I was in 6th grade with chubby cheeks and a curly haircut. Lots of love going out to all of those I met along the way and to those that helped make me who I am today. Of course, shoutouts to The Boys, JK, DM, CC, WH, and AV for making it here with me, and to RKH for bringing us all together. Very proud to be a part of both the Ice Hockey and Theater crowd, special mentions to JG, RD, KG, TP, JS, ES, JD, SG, GB, LB, and LH, but probably not GR. Extra thankful for M&M, keeping it real since day one and sticking with me the whole way through. Life goes by pretty fast, but I'm glad I was able to spend a large part of it with the Fun School Class of 2016. Most love goes out to Mom, Dad, Alex, James, and my bird Snowy for more support than I could ever ask for. "Life is like a novel: until the very last page you don't know how it will end. Otherwise it wouldn't be worth reading."

"[My family lived] in Holland for my dad's job, when his company expanded to Europe. It was really nice living there; we were so close to so many places that I was able to visit like 20 countries within three years. The schooling wasn't super different, but because it was an international school we traveled all over Europe to compete for sports. The transportation was a big thing, as bikes always had the right of way and had their own bike paths all over Holland, and no one wore helmets over there. The biggest difference was definitely food. There was a big emphasis on their "cheese culture." Everyone there loved cheese, and always had 3 or 4 bricks of cheese in their house at a time. And also for breakfast they eat Hagelslag which is basically just chocolate sprinkles on bread with butter; it is delicious but SO bad for you. And my favorite thing was how they celebrated New Year's. They partied for 24 hours straight, they lit fireworks all day and night (in the streets), blasted music in Amsterdam for the whole 24 hours and it was just a giant party for the whole celebration."

Thanks to everyone who got me to where am I today. I would like to thank my friends and my family. I would also like to thank all of the kids that I have played hockey with. Hockey was the best part of every year for all four years. I am truly lucky I to have such an amazing group of friends. I guess this means on to the next one. j

"Few people around campus know that I recreationally shoot guns and have won many competitions for it. I got involved because of my dad. He collects guns and took me to the range for the first time when I was 13.1 think I like it so much because it's fun and I've gotten pretty good at it. The first competition I won was held in the Poconos at a resort. I was the youngest person to enter and the only girl. It felt really cool to win because there were a bunch of old hunters participating who didn't think of me as competition. I also had to use a shot gun and my specialty is a 9mm handgun so it was cool to beat the hunters at their own game. I don't get to shoot as much as I'd like because of school and after school activities but I plan on shooting for the rest of my life and will teach my kids how to shoot too.

Do what makes you happy. That should be your number one goal. Always chase happiness, because true joy and happiness is the best thing in the world Money, success, fame, it's all material and doesnt make an ounce of difference in the end. The true measure of life should be happiness. Don't be afraid to do what makes you smile. Try and find that true happiness. Don't worry what people think about it. Who cares what other people think. It's your life, not theirs. You do you. Thank you to everyone who made the last 6 years bearable. 'Just because there's a goalie, doesn't mean you can't score" -Diesel Pelke. And now...

Oh Hun! Oh Hun I We had quite a lot of fun! I have weathered your every rack, and the prize I sought is won! But my friends, our story has just begun. College is near, graduation bells we hear, the teachers all exulting. Once more unto the breach we must go, once more! To Family and friends and peers alike: Hun has been one heck of a ride. Hun is a one of a kind place. From its well dressed students to one of a kind curriculum, it will be missed. From the bottom of my heart I bid thee a very fond and warm farewell. But now my friends...once more into the fray we go... "The roots of education are bitter, But the fruit is sweet." -Aristotle
'The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice that which we are for what we could become." -Charles Du Bos. Although my time at Hun was short, I can still say that I have learned the most valuable lessons in high school while being here. Thank you to all my teachers for helping me realize my full potential as a student. Thank you to Dr. Johnson and Mr. Bush for making my experiences at Hun so memorable, and for opening new doors of exploration that would have remained shut without your caring insight. Thank you to Coach Cook and Coach A for constantly pushing me to achieve a higher level of athletic performance, and to VGL for being my second family. I'd also like to thank my family for being my biggest supporters and for encouraging me endlessly. Lastly I'd like to thank my friends for all the laughs and good times.

If you were to tell me two years ago that I would be transferring to the Hun School of Princeton, I would have thought you're crazy. Transferring schools has opened a world of new doors for me that I would never have gotten the opportunity to see if I stayed where I was. Although I left behind so many friends that I knew since elementary school, I truly believe that Hun has provided me with the keys to success. I would like to give special thanks to my family for always being there for me, in particular, my Mom, Dad, and brother. Things haven't always been easy for us but i our way, which I truly ion me on my journey school and set me up in a position to be successful in life. I would also e since Day 1. He's not only my little brother, but also a best friend and probably the only person who truly understands me. I would also like to shout out the basketball team, we have had a very interesting journey through my two seasons at Hun and I thank Coach Stone for all that he has done for me. I would also like to shout out all my homies at Hun; I don't have to run through a list because they know who they are. Even though we are all going to do big things, I know we all are still going to keep in touch and that our group message is i never going i to t die di lol. l l I'd also l like lik to t thank t h k allll the th bros b back b k home for always being there for me. Although we went our separate ways, we still managed to hang out every week and keep everyone's head up as we began our journeys through life. I would lastly like to thank all the teachers and my fellow peers -"••••-*

TIME
"During the summer, I work at a summer camp called Camp Wingate Kirkland, located in Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts. I was actually a camper there for 6 years before I became a counselor. I stay there for 9 weeks with the kids. The thing I always missed the most about home was air conditioning. We have a campfire every Saturday, which is really fun. There is always something exciting going on. A funny story was when me, another counselor, and 3 campers filled up a ton of water balloons and went around camp soaking people. Working as a counselor there has changed my life."

These past 7 years at Hun have been a crazy ride, but I wouldn t give it up for anything. First and foremost, thank you to my parents for giving me so many opportunities, and for always loving and supporting me. Thank you James for verbally beating me up all these years. I'd like to say I became a better person because of it, but I'm not too sure if that's true or not. If I learned anything, it's that friendships are constantly subject to change so pick a few and hang on for dear life. Emma and Katie, thank you for putting up with me all these years, 6 and counting. People always ask me who I like more and honestly it's like asking what I love more: Grey's Anatomy or chocolate. No comparison, but put them together and it makes for a great night. Big shoutout to J9 and Tons for putting up with me randomly popping into your living room and eating your food. Sincerely, Nicoliflower Amam
BALL is greater Dhiraj: Ball > life is something Akash (Mukkavilli'15)andl started because we both love basketball and we both love making people laugh. So being two undersized Indian males we thought we could destroy all the stereotypes in a funny way. When Akash graduated, I needed a new partner. At first, I went with one of my friends and I thought it would work out but it just wasn't fun. So I replaced him with someone who I knew would help my cause -Ajay Vasisht." Ajay: "I got involved in Ball>Life after the first couple videos were released. Dhiraj invited me to join him in the video production and to script the dunk sequences. After we worked with mutual friends and released a couple more videos, I started balling on camera under the alias, 'Docta Jay.' Since then, we have done multiple videos together and have become sort of a tag team. Our Capstone is a documentary of our Ball>Life process, and really reflects the journey we took to make our videos."

These past four years at The Hun School of Princeton have been amazing. Transitioning freshman year was so easy. Sophomore year was difficult at first with my concussion, but I was lucky to be a part of a supportive environment that helped me get back to school! Junior year was exciting, especially when I joined technical theater for Fiddler on the Roof. I am sad senior year came and went so quickly. All of these memories would not be possible without my friends and incredibly supportive community at Hun! I would like to thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to go Hun and being there for me every step of the way. You taught me to follow my dreams and are involved in everything I do. I love you with all my heart and soul! David, thank you for always being by my side Whether it's picking me up from school or being at every Hun event, your support is endless. Love you! Throughout my four years at Hun I have embraced my Poppy's saying: No one can never take away your education. Thank you to all the teachers, administrators, and staff for giving guidance support, and invaluable lessons that I promise never to forget. Congratulations Class of 2016!
I wish each and every one of you the best of luck on your journey to achieving success. Thanks to the ones who made the experience memorable. Mom and Dad: I couldn't have accomplished my goals without your help along the way. I'll never forget all the necessary values and lessons you have taught me in order to get where I am. Genevieve and Claudine: I couldn't ask for two better people to make fun of me or help me with my problems. Without you two, my life wouldn't be the same. My brother, Wilshire: You will forever hold a special place in my heart. You never judged me and kept supporting me with what ever I chose to do. From golf practice, squash, and even school, we were able to challenge each other to do better and compete with each other in order to push us to the next level. I couldn't have asked for a better best friend to have, love you lots brother. Shout out to the boys: Klein, Savoy, BDG, Dhiraj...will never forget you guys
Hun will always have an important place in my heart. All the memories of Theatre and A Cappella will stay with me and if not for soccer I could not have become the player I am now.

"Watch the hill." It's been a real three years, Hun. Mondays are always my favorite day of the week, because I missed seeing all of my friends in school.

[The company] produces Morocca n-i nspired candles that are infused with positive energy. 10% of profits will be donated to Moroccan orphanages. I've had the dream to one day own a home decor/lifestyle company for a few years and candles seemed like a good place to start because they are manageable. The products are inspired by different cities in Morocco in both their designs and scents. Resource-wise, we are working with a manufacturer to physically produce the candles. We've worked side by side with them to develop the designs, with which we've found inspiration in Moroccan carpets, fabrics, and classic tile patterns.

INTL "I went to Italy to play with the Regional OOP (Olympic Development Program) team. So we started in Milan, then went to Verona, and ended in Venice. It was the best experience of my life so far, and it will probably be the best experience of my entire life. It was a different style of play, playing against the Italians, but it was fun. When you go to a foreign country to play soccer as an American, they treat you as if you were the US National Team even though we weren't. At the end of the tournament, some of the girls even gave our girls their jerseys. It's like going to a different planet where Americans are Gods. But it wasn't 100% soccer. We walked around some historical sights and I've seen the most beautiful landscapes and buildings ever. Venice was just gorgeous. I'm honestly at a loss for words. I'm so happy and appreciative to have been able to go to such a beautiful country, a place where I've always wanted to go. I would do it again in an instant!" -Jessica Johnson

Once in the program, you go to classes on Saturdays to prepare for what prep schools are like. They help choose schools that would be best suited for you. I graded in 2012 and since then, they have supported me all through high school. SEEDS always sends a representative to Hun to check in on me and to make sure everything is moving smoothly with college. They have also come to some of my football games and other things I do."

squashing them
GOING
By far, the coolest experience that I have had playing squash was the Pan Am Tournament in Fall 2015, where I was lucky enough to win a gold medal for USA in both the Men's team event and the Mixed Doubles event. Qualification for the US Junior National team was based off of rankings; I got to #12 in the country or so and the coach for the team, Paul Assainte, called me and said I had a spot on the team. Once we were in Panama for the tournament, we did the individual event first, which the US did not do well in so we entered the men's team event with a bad ranking. Then, in the pool play for teams, we were put in a pool with Mexico (#1 seed), and Guatemala (#4 seed). We lost to Mexico in pool play but beat Guatemala to make it to the playoffs. After beating Brazil in the semifinals, with a miraculous come from behind, we beat Mexico in the finals to win gold. I also competed in the mixed doubles with a girl named Morgan Steelman from Philly. Although we were seeded 16th in the bracket for mixed doubles, we won the first seed second round and beat the Ecuador team by 1 singular point to get to the finals, then crushed the Paraguay team in the finals winning gold in mixed doubles too! Overall, it was a lot of fun."

Although I've only been at Hun for two years, I am so grateful for the many memories I've shared with the community at Hun. From Coach Hallac kicking the med kit at Hill my junior year, to the whole team being able to laugh about it now, I rest assure our VGS team is truly one of a kind. To the rest of VGS, enjoy every game and continue to work hard as a team and success will come your way. Savannah you are the best "froomie" I could've ever had. I will never forget doing sun salutations at 1 am together on a school night, or sushi dates on the weekend, or having heart to hearts before bed. You are truly a sister to me. I hope you have the best senior year possible and continue to enjoy life every day. And some words of advice - never let anyone take away from how great of a person you are. Chan, Emma, and Katie - you guys have been my best friends here at Hun through thick and thin. I am sad to see our squad go separate ways, but I know there are big things ahead of us and we'll still be able to share these with each other someday. Lastly, the memories started at Infini -T Cafe are surely to last a lifetime. These and many others to come are the reason why Hun holds a special place in my heart and most importantly, you do.

To Mom and Dad: It's been a long four years of hard work. Thanks for supporting me through both the good and bad times. I hope that it all pays off in the end. Your advice was always appreciated and for the best. But sometimes I needed to make my own decisions. To my teachers: Thanks for understanding my commitments outside of school. It was tough to start classes with absolutely no sleep I never regretted my decisions to put my school work on hold for these other commitments. Thanks again. Way to go guys. The four years here at Hun went by extremely fast and now we are off to college and the real world. It's been an enjoyable time here and I'm glad I got to experience it with you all. Quote: "Scare yourself at least once a day"
"Be yourself. The world worships the original." Mom and Dad, thank you so much for always being so supportive and believing in me. I wouldn't be the student, dancer, or person that I am today without you. I'm forever grateful, love you both! Kevin and Kamryn, you're the coolest twins and siblings in the world, thanks for always having my back. You're both so special in your own ways, and my life would be incomplete without you guys in it. Caroline, I'm so lucky to have a best friend like you. Thanks for being there through all the happiness, sadness, and every emotion in between. I cherish the memories we made, here's to many more! And to the whole Davis family, thank you for being my second family. Thanks for the memories, congratulations class of 2016!
Those whom with I shared my loudest laughs, my worst fears, and my moments of craziness. Those who taught me about life and myself more than they did about academics, Those who smiled, said "Hi" in the hallways, and held doors. And those who asked and cared when times got tough. Those are the ones who made Hun, in two years, feel like home... And I am grateful that they were part of my life, so even as I am leaving them I know that I will always carry them with me. "The journey was the reward."
HROL "When I was in sixth grade I was obsessed with Taylor Swift so I taught myself guitar, piano, and songwriting so I could be just like her. I like country music, so I write in that genre most often and occasionally pop as well. The way I write varies a lot, but what I write is consistent. My music is solely based on lyrics and melodies. When I am writing lyrics, I have to wait for a cool strip of lyrics in my head. When they come to me I either write them down and add the appropriate chords, or I sing them into my phone for a later time so I don't forget the tune. Or there is another route where I get a cool melody-1 record it in my phone so I can try to write lyrics to it. I love what I do and I hope to make a career from it. The dream is to work on Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee or even be a commercial singer. I guess fate will decide for me."

medical
WORK Over the summer, my aunt, who is a cardiologist, led a mission to help out with medical clinics across rural Haiti and asked me to go. My dad's family is from there and I had never gone before so I was looking forward to seeing where my family was from. Since I didn't have any medical training, I didn't help my aunt or any other doctors look at the patients. Instead, I was a pharmacist, which had many difficulties in itself. The doctors would hand me each patient's prescription and I would have to fill it accordingly. While there, I had to learn the basic sentences in Creole to instruct the patients how many times a day to take the medicine. I also had to learn which medicines could replace others when the one the doctor had prescribed ran out. It was my first time in a developing country and to say that I was shocked would be an understatement. I absolutely will continue to do something like this and I hope to go back to Haiti during the summer to continue the mission. With medicine, I guess it can be hard to see the difference that you'll have because by the time the medicine can help sometimes, you'll be gone. But there was one kid who came to the clinic who was so sick, his eyes were glassy and he was shaking. However, he was able to greet me and say thank you for the medicine. He came back a couple days later and he was a whole other child. He looked happy and fit and was running around. It is tough though, there is only a limited amount of medicine and lot of people who need help. And even though over the week we saw over a thousand patients, that is nothing compared to the amount of people who need help.

Thank you Mom, Dad, and Molly for helping and supporting me throughout these four years.

Think before you act. All our life we make choices. We make choices from the time we are just learning to communicate until we grow old and pass on. Given how many choices we make during our lives, it might seem like each individual choice is insignificant. This, however, is not true. In fact, there will never be a more important time in our life to make choices than right now. As we go out into the world, we are forging the path that we will be on for the rest of our lives. The careers we pursue, the relationships we create, the lives we touch, will all lead to our future. By making the right choices today, we can secure a better life for tomorrow. Pursuing a post-graduate year at Hun is the most important decision I have made in my life thus far. While taking a year before college to further my high school education might seem like a step back, I know that it will serve to put me ahead in the future. I would encourage everyone to take time before making important decisions. Had I ignored counsel from my parents and others, going on to college without coming to Hun, I would have missed out on this incredible lifechanging experience. I am so very thankful for everyone who supported my decision to pursue a post-graduate year. I want to especially thank my mom, my dad, Anne Marie and Stephen, as well as the rest of my extended family. I would also like to thank all of my teachers and faculty from North, as well as the faculty here at Hun for making this year possible. I finally want to thank all of my friends here for making this experience so amazing. Good luck class of 20161

)en-pal "I have a pen-pal in Bangladesh that I keep in contact with all year. His name is Ifti and he has Ewing's Sarcoma, which is a rare bone cancer. I met Ifti through some of my father's employees in Bangladesh. When I was in Bangladesh this summer I spent time with Ifti and his family, and just got to know them. I talked to Ifti about his interests and talked to his parents about ways to fundraise for his medical bills. My dad has fundraisers for the family in Bangladesh constantly, and I had a bake sale to support Ifti last year. I love being able to help Ifti and his family, and I'm going to keep fundraising for him and spreading awareness about this terrible disease."

IUIVIVCSIL "My passion for cars started years before I got my driver's license. Watching racing series such as Formula 1 and Indy car gave me an appreciation for the amazing engineering that went into these cars. After a long day of school where we have to sit still and think, there's nothing better than getting to work with your hands on something. Taking something you use every day and making it work better than it did before is rewarding and you get to make it your own. Why drive something that's identical to something someone else has? I would much rather modify and change it to make it my own. This year for our senior capstone Sasha L'vov, Julian Celestin, and myself chose to pursue our passion and restore a car that needed our help. We found a 1994 Ford Mustang on craigslist and bought it. We used this project to widen our knowledge by attempting repairs on this car that we normally wouldn't attempt on our

AND "Every summer, I go to Hong Kong to visit my family. On every trip, my dad, mom, grandma, and I visit the Chi Lin Nunnery. IF* a large Buddhist temple complex that includes a nunnery, restaurant, gardens, and temple halls. This place means a lot to my family because my uncle helped rebuild it in the 90's and we've been visiting it long before I was born. It's also where my grandpa is buried. We always go in the morning and pay our respects in the temple halls, where my grandpa's ashes reside. Then we cut through the gardens to the vegetarian restaurant, and we end our visit in the teahouse. It's so serene and peaceful there, and because of the temples close relations with my family, we also get many benefits. We're allowed to enter temple halls that are not open to the public and we can get early access to some of the events taking place. It's also a good place to reconnect with my family and my roots."

CLOSE "Living close to school made a huge impact on my time here at Hun. Having a house two doors down from school, I felt like I had the best of both worlds. I had the privilege of going home every day but at the same time, I could always use the awesome resources that Hun has to offer. A lot of my friends were boarders, so it was nice to be so close to all of them. After school I usually went home, grabbed a quick snack, and changed before workouts or practice. After practice or workouts I usually went back home to eat dinner and shower up, then I went to the library or the Global Commons for about an hour and a half to two hours to study for any tests or quizzes that the boarding students and I might have had the next day. It was awesome to be able to have the option to do this after hours and I think that if more people had this kind of opportunity, it would really benefit them."

If life ever hits you with a surprise, "BE BOLD!" and scream and it should all be fine.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover," Mark Twain. At Hun, I had the opportunity to broaden my knowledge and try things I may have never tried elsewhere. In the past two years, Hun has become my home. I appreciate the time I spent here. It was an unforgettable lifetime experience. I am grateful to everyone who helped me, to my teachers, and my friends. Happy Graduation Class of 2016.
Hun School, it's been real. Congratulations Class of 2016! Mom & Dad- You are the most loving, supportive people I know, and I'm very lucky to call you my parents. Thanks for always believing in me and motivating me to 6e the best I can be. I love you. CharlotteIf it means anything, I think you have tons more to offer than just "bad jokes & good cookies." You're my day one, along with one of the greatest friends that I've ever "had. Love you always, bread :-) Sarah- You are one of the funniest people I've ever met, & you never fail to make me laugh. You'll always be my favorite partner in crime/GPS/millennial child, but above all, you'll always be one of my best friends. Love you to the moon and back, & always remember to shine on. Mat- Only you truly understand how much of a mess I am because you have seen me have a melt down over writing a table of contents like you have... It s hilarious that neither one of us can remember how we became friends, but I'm glad that happened. You're one of the most supportive people I know & I don't know what I'd do without you! Sierra- Crazy things always happen when we're together, and I absolutely love it. Thank you for the good times, the countless (mis)adventures, and for understanding my love of "Downtown" and Jala. I hope we can see Maroon 5 again, & I REALLY hope you pursue your passion for fashion photography someday!!! Andrea & Julie- You two have been with me through some of the most special moments of my life; I wouldn't have wanted to share those experiences with anyone else. I'll never forget the "backyard banger" with Waldo, UMF14, Ecuador, or Puerto Rico with you two, so thank you for being a part of experiences I'll always remember. Love you guys. Lilly- Thank you for these past seven years. Even though I hated it when people would call us twins at SGS, you honestly feel like the sister I never had. You're absolutely insane, but I love you anyways. Edgertones: I've spent the last four years in this amazing group, and I love every single one of you. I'm incredibly thankful for the time I got to spend with all ofyou, oldtones and new. You are the reason for many of my smiles.

It's been a long and crazy ride, Hun. Through the days of me procrastinating to the last ..linute for mostly every project and paper, to hanging out with some of the best people, to finding my passion for politics, I can safely say I've never had a dull moment here. I'd first like to thank my mom for everything she has sacrificed for me. You have been both my mother and my father - a role that only a handful of people can do. I love you. My four years at Hun have taught me a lot about life. I'd like to leave my musings here so that people in our class and future classes might stumble upon it and consider my thoughts: Success in today's society is measured by two things: your title and how much money you make. This isn't success. Success to me is being happy with what you're doing in your life - not what society defines it as. Unless you are constantly texting the DaN Lama, put down the gqsh-darn phone. I guarantee that tweeting at WORLDSTAR is not that important. Spend time with your friends in person. Hang out. Enjoy every moment the good and the bad. Instead of texting or snap chatting about things that you guys could be doing, go out and do them. In high school you're going to~be faced with a decision: should I have many friends or a few good friends? Choose the latter. There are only 24 hours in a day so how on earth are you going to get close to everyone you meet? The answer is simple - you can't. Instead, nave a solid group of friends tnat you can rely on, that you can share a laugh with, that you can hang out with over the weekends and over breaks. Always choose quality over quantity. My last musing is to be weird. Say and do things that others would scoff at and dismiss as ridiculous. Usually, the kid with the " nks._.,„.,,. .,,,„. "I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a cr< f— heroic." - George Carlin. I'd like to thank this group of guys who have not only made boys: The boys from BJ From BK, BB, TP, FV, JB, JG.

PRACTICE "I worked at Princeton University with a professor and a grad student to learn programming and networking. The grad student showed me programming skills and then I wrote simple programs on my own to practice using them. The final result of the project was a program that analyzed internet traffic through the Princeton University router and a paper explaining the program and the results. I did it to learn more about computer science and how to program. Programming makes analysis of large data sets much more manageable. I am considering studying programming and computer science as a minor, because of this experience." -Mariesa Cay

HIGH "Over the years, I have developed a talent for opera singing, a form of vocal performance that I hope to continue for the rest of my life. Although I love singing as a whole and participate in the Edgertones at Hun, my true passion is Opera. It was something that my voice teacher pushed when I was younger and I really grew to love it. There's so much depth and emotion behind the music that each person who performs a song will tell a different story. It brings beautiful music and a relatable message to people. I really love performing anywhere but it was great to get to perform at Interlochen this summer with other amazing young singers. I'm going to be studying vocal performance next year at Northwestern University because it has always been my dream and I wanted to pursue it while I have the opportunity. If it doesn't work out then that's that, but I know studying voice will be the best choice for my own happiness."

I would like to thank my parents and sister for supporting me my entire life. I never would have been able to make it through these stressful years without them. It's been an incredible resource to have your unceasing love at home To my friends. I love you all. Etan, Kieran, Caroline, Olivia, Caitlin, Natalia, and everyone else that has made my day better just by walking by me in the halls. I could not ask for or want a better group of people and I hope to stay close to you all. To all the teachers that have inspired me to learn I thank you all. Coach McQuade, Coach Jones and everyone else on the baseball team especially made my time at Hun special. I appreciate all the skills and opportunities that Hun gave me and I'm a better student because of it. "The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart.

"There may be people that have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do." -Derek Jeter
We have come to the end of an amazing four years, and as such, I give many thanks to everyone that has helped me along the way. I give my sincerest gratitude to my parents, siblings, friends, and teachers for all the time and effort they have taken to give me an opportunity to start a journey that I wish to pursue. So congratulations class of 2016. For most of you it has been an arduous four years, for some of you it has been a life-changing 7 years, but for all of us it has been an unforgettable experience that we will spend years reminiscing upon in our future lives. Let's enjoy these last few bittersweet moments of our careers at Hun as we part ways and pursue our individual journeys. I hope all of you achieve everything you dream of and more. Live long and prosper. Veni, vidi, vici.
It's hard to believe that it's already 4 years since I came here. The heartwarming Hun community, especially the Janus Players, welcomed me with open arms. I will never forget the interesting clouds in APUSH, I won't forget my friends I made here, and most of all, I won't forget the good times I had with everyone. I thank Fatema A., Tasneem E., Griffin B., Maddie C, and Kevin C. for all those fun times we had in and outside the theater. You guys were awesome friends to have during my high school life. Ethan S., I really had fun with you in tech. I'm also very grateful to have met great teachers, ones that taught me compassion and leadership. I'll miss all of you. Thanks Mom and Dad for actually letting me come to the States and supporting me throughout high school. I wouldn't have made it here without any of you. Congratulations Senior Class of 2016! I wish the best for all of us.

"There are few people who would consider it fun to be suspending 13,000 feet off the side of a cliff from one single cord. That is exactly what I did this past summer while rock climbing up the Grand Teton (13,775'). For the past five years, I have backpacked through several different mountain ranges for a month at a time, including The White Mountains, the High Sierra Mountains, the Cascades, Yosemite National Park, The Swiss and French Alps, and Yellowstone National Park. At the end of each excursion, I have tested my mountaineering skills by attempting to summit one of the tallest mountains in the range. Some of my biggest feats include Mt. Shasta (14,180'), The Mettelhorn (11,175fl, and most recently the Grand Teton. By far, the most rewarding trip that I went on was through the French and Swiss Alps during the summer of 2014. Hiking roughly 1015 miles a day, with 60 lbs on my back, I hiked the perimeter of Switzerland and through all the major Swiss cities, then across the boarder to France. It was, by far, one of the most challenging experiences that I ever had but the hip bruises and leg soreness were quickly numbed by the beautiful views of mountainous Europe. This past summer, it was really cool to learn how to rock climb, belay, and repel before climbing the Grand Teton. I enjoy life in the mountains because it feels freeing to carry everything I could possibly need on my back. Sometimes you need to go up high just to see how small you really are."

I grew up living on the water, so most of my time as a kid was spent doing activities revolving around the water. I started fishing at a young age off of my dock, catching little snappers with some worms. What I've always loved about fishing is that it's so unpredictable, one day you could go out and not catch anything for the entire time, while the next you could hook up on the biggest fish of your career. It's the excitement and thrill of the possibilities that drives my passion for fishing. The biggest fish that I've ever caught is a Sailfish while we were out fishing in the Florida Keys, those things put up a pretty hard fight. My capstone is all about fishing in the Bahamas, learning how to improve on my techniques, and all around becoming a better fisherman. We will also be fishing in a tournament, which will give me the high stakes experience that I can really grow upon."

I first want to thank everyone at the Hun School for giving me the honor to attend and lead for the past 4 years. I am truly a changed person because of the people I met, friends I made, and teachers I interacted with. I am humbled by the very thought of all this school has given to me. I hope that I have given back to Hun a fraction of what it has given me, for the amount I owe this school can never be repaid. Mom & Dad - thank you for supporting me 100% in all my endeavors. You guys are the reason I am the person I am today. Luke - thanks for always having my back. Love you, brother. Sophie - thanks for being a pretty cool sister.

"I took a trip this past summer to retrace my grandfather's footsteps in honor of the 70th anniversary of his liberation from Buchenwald Concentration Camp. My Grandfather, Murray Goldfinger, my mother, Susan Goldfinger Chanin, and I travelled first to Wierchomla, Poland, my grandfather's hometown. We went to visit my great-grandparents' mass grave in Stary Sacz, Poland where the Nazi's murdered my great-grandparents and 93 other Jewish people in the woods. After a few days in Wierchomla, we traveled to Weimar, Germany, where the ceremonies were held to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the liberation. I wanted to do this first because, as each day passes, more survivors are dying. As a 3G, a third generation Holocaust survivor, I feel it is my responsibility to preserve my grandfather and other survivor's stories. I decided to keep a blog (http://www.liberationthroug hmyeyes.blogspot.com) during the trip so I could record as many stories as possible, and have them available on the internet so people around the world could read the stories and remember and preserve the legacies. Second, I wanted to see and meet the survivors at the concentration camp, so 1 can be a testament to what occurred even after all the survivors are gone. I feel I am responsible to keep my family's legacy alive and make sure that my grandfather's 8 brothers and sisters, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles are never forgotten. I learned that my grandfather has lived every day since he was liberated as a bonus day. This made me realize that I need to appreciate every day of my life to the fullest. Through my grandfather, I learned that education is the most important part of life because no one can take what you learn away from you."

workiru "This winter, I was working as a producer's intern for the movie Wakefield. It's going to come out later this year and it's starring Bryan Cranston from breaking bad and Jennifer Garner. My dad's friend from college was the movie producer so I asked if I could visit set and she let me work as an intern for the final week. I did it because it was a really cool opportunity and I am really interested in cinematography. I was there for a week and a half but only worked on the set for a week and while I was there, I basically did anything that was needed. For example, I helped special effects people mimic wind during scenes shot in the fall, I was an extra in a couple scenes, and I did things as simple as getting Jen and Bryan breakfast in the morning. I was there for the last week of production so we also did some off sight jobs so setting up everything, delivering cast gifts, and then just asking people questions to learn from the experience. I also got to go out to lunch with Bryan one day which was probably the best part of my experience besides being an extra because he was really smart, insightful, and just like the coolest person ever so it was nice getting to meet him."

The very first moment summer started my friends, and I set up multiple goals for our summer break. When I arrived back home to Vail, Colorado, we decided that we would never have one dull day all summer. In my group of friends back home, we have an extraordinary appreciation for the mountain we get the privilege to call our home, which we do not take for granted. As a group, we camped in total over 30 days and hiked many miles. I love living in Colorado because there is so much to explore, and there is always an adventure around every corner. There are not too many places in the world like it, and I can't wait for this next

People at Hun, I think I will miss them the most. Everyone was just so kind an helpful, especially when you needed it the most. Nothing beats the tight knit community at Hun and I'm glad I chose it over some other schools...! would like to thank AV, JK, WBdG, and MW for making my days at Hun not seem so long and boring. Sadly, life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. Stay humble. Dance like there's no tomorrow. S/O to RKH, TS, and RB for being the best teachers anyone could ask for. Always remember, Ball>Life.

THAN Imamu Mayfield can often be seen walking around campus wearing "Imamu" apparel; these t-shirts and sweatshirts, which were created to sponsor his father's gym franchise, have become a popular conversation topic around campus. He says, "Yes, I am that kid that you've seen around Hun wearing a sweatshirt with his name on it. But there is so much more to me than the fact that I love my name. One of my main traits is that I am just a completely open person, and attending The Hun School helped me realize that. When I started here I didn't think I would be as involved in The Hun community as I am right now. I started the year off just on the Football Team, but I discovered things like the Comic Book Club, Guitar Club, and the Black Student Union. I love connecting with people, and attending Hun allowed me to do that. Therefore, I am thankful."
It's only been a little over a year since I've started here at Hun, but I've made so many friends who have enhanced my experience in High School. I'd like to thank my parents and my brother for supporting me throughout my time here at Hun. I'd like to thank my Baseball Coaches for giving me the opportunity to take my game to the next level. Shout out to the Baseball team, you guys are my family away from home. AG, JW, GR, KP, CD. T o be early is to be on time, to be cm time is to be late, and to be late is to be forgotten."
"May I have your attention please?" -The Real Slim Shady. I transferred from Hopewell Valley Central High School into Hun as a Junior. Hun has been an incredible (I cite it anyway because of the Honor Code) place for me. I'm so lucky. I thank God who has blessed me with more than I could possibly say in a single paragraph. I thank my amazing teachers, the crew team, Coach Weinstein, and all Hun faculty. I especially, thank You God for my family here and away from Hun. Seniors, I wish you all the best at your prestigious Universities. I have quite a few absurd friends and squad members who make every day 11x more beautiful. If that's you, you know who you are. I really lick-l mean like-you guys so much. And to go on a quick tangent for my fellow math nerds, math was an integral area of my high school career where I diverged from sum of my normal limits. Community Service Club, Diversity Club, FCA, Sangha, Model Congress-good times. Don't miss me too much. Cats.
-Imamu Mayfield Mom and Dad - Thank you for supporting me throughout my entire life. During both the good and bad, you've always been there for me. I couldn't have asked for better parents because you guys are the best. Riola - While I'm going off to college this year, you'll be entering high school. Hun's a great place, so have fun in your nextj four years. WH, AH, and JG - We've been going to school together for 10 years now, and to be honest I'll miss having you guys around. AD and JK - Chem was nice. Tennis & Squash teams - I'll never forget those times on the court. To all the wonderful teachers I've had throughout my time at Hun - it's thanks to you all that I've learned so much and grew up as a person; for that I'm grateful. Thank you to all my friends in the Class of 2016. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that it's because of you that I had such a great high school experience. I know that each and every one of you are talented people and that you'll go on to do great things.

Shout Outs: Mom: You have been there since the start, there are no amount of words that express how thankful I am for everything that you do. You're the reason why I am at Hun and saw that I needed help and put me in the best position possible for me to succeed and because of that I got into many great colleges and I'm so thankful to have you in my life. Dad: You are the reason why everything in my life is possible. You work the hard hours in the office and still manage to be a big part of my life. I could not do this without your assistance and I look forward to picking your brain about becoming a success. Alexandra: You have my back no matter what and would do anything for me without question and I'm glad we are as close as we are. Christine: The devil herself; we may bicker but we have just as much fun together if not more. As we got older, we have bickered less but we still know how to push each other's buttons. Mat: Lets face it, the fact that we are still friends is a miracle. That shows how much i like you so dont get it twisted in thinking that I don't at times. We have been friends all through high school and I hope it never ends.

FOR
"One day five years ago my dad came home from work and said that the Trenton Bridge Youth Lacrosse program didn't have enough money to sustain the program. My brother and I came up with the idea to host a charity youth lacrosse tournament to raise money for their program. We called it the Turkey Shootout because it is held every year in November around Thanksgiving. The first year we raised enough money to keep the program afloat. We raised 60% of their operating costs. The tournament continues to grow every year and teams come from all over New Jersey, New York and Connecticut to play. Over the years students from Hun have volunteered to coach and help the tournament run smoothly. The Princeton Turkey Shootout is an important part of maintaining the Trenton Bridge Program. Lacrosse has been an important part of my life and my family's and I'm glad that I am able to provide the youth in Trenton the opportunity to play the game that has given me so much."

Mom & Dad: Thank you for being my biggest supporters and closest friends and for always encouraging my curiosity; high school would have been impossible without you. I promise to (try to) get more sleep in college. Love you so much! Mr. Snow: Thank you for always listening to my rants and for reminding me to take a break every now and then. You've boosted my confidence level and kept me sane. You were the best freshman advisor I could have asked for! Etan: I think I've been most unabashedly myself around you. Thanks for never letting me get too confident and for always putting things in perspective. Your sense of humor is the absolute worst, and I'm pretty sure the book is going down as the best present I've ever received. Lauryn: You've been my closest friend, the person I've gone to about literally everything in my life. So happy I worked up the courage to talk to you during Freshman Seminar.

From
AFRICA "I was born and raised in Kenya and I would never change it for anything in the world! Africa is an amazing continent where you grow in every possible way and gain knowledge and experiences unique to Africa.I spent five years at an all girls boarding school in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. A completely different culture to my home. My favourite part is most definitely the people and the pride and happiness seen around the country no matter what. It is a whole different world from the United States, everything is different; our culture, values, norms, technological advances, and more. It slows down growing up. I hate being away from home and will definitely go back."
To start it off i would like to say it's been real 2016 and I would just like to say thank you for making it both an easy and welcoming transition from public school to my final two years of high school here at Hun. I got to meet a lot of people and made a lot of life long friends. I would like to shout out the Hun hockey team for always being a good time. I love you boys like family and thank you to Ian McNally and all the teachers and staff that really helped me out when I needed it giving me the opportunity to become the person I am today. The final thank you goes to my parents because I could never thank them enough for what they do for me.

i NEW There is a lot more to robotics than just putting together complex and innovative machines. Part of my purpose for coming to Hun was to help develop the robotics program. In the fall, I coached the middle school team, and worked with Mr. Huffaker to introduce the students to the FIRST Robotics program. Currently, I am helping Dr. Johnson develop the new robotics class and introduce high school students to robotics. For my capstone, I am hoping to help the school develop a high school robotics team that will continue to grow in the future.

"Over the summer, I was accepted into the Waksman Student Scholar Program, which is a 3week summer research program at Rutgers University. In the program, I sequenced DNA clones from a common aquatic plant called duckweed. The research project helps develop the duckweed genome, working to assess the plant as a potential source for biofuel. After being selected by Hun and then applying, I spent most of July in the laboratory learning about genome sequencing. I got an incredible amount of experience and had two publications. This program was so important to me because it helped me realize how much I love doing research. It also had a huge impact on my future. I'll be attending pharmacy school in the fall, and I hope to have a career in pharmaceutical research and development."
Mom: Thanks for all of the support and unconditional love and for never giving up on me, no matter how hard I made it. I don't know what I'd do without you. "If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery-isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.

FROM "My name is Bryan Enaw'gbe Abunaw and I'm from the Paramount Royal family in the Southwest region of Cameroon. I don't really have an official title as such but I'm called Enaw'gbe because of the importance that the name has in our family. I dont really do much; my siblings and I were brought up on three main principles which are 'Respect, Humility and basic etiquette.' My parents would travel with us to learn different cultures and ways of living so we could be exposed to the world. Life [at home] is quite normal, our family is a big and well respected family so we try our best to keep up those standards be it in our house, church or wherever. It was quite different coming here [and boarding at the Hun School]. I say this because it was the furthest I've been from my family which is good because I feel that I have gotten more responsibility to represent not only my country and continent, but also represent my family and I am very thankful to my parents for giving me this opportunity."

ALIIUN! In October, one of my short films was showcased in The All-American High School Film Festival (AAHSFF). The festival celebrates young filmmakers from all over the world and takes place over the course of a weekend in New York City. Out of 1,400 submissions, my short was selected as among the 500 accepted films. My favorite part of the event was having my film be recognized as one of the top 25 in the entire festival. In addition to that, it was such an honor to be nominated for both the Best Experimental Award, and the Maverick Award. I found out about this opportunity through a mentor that taught me over the summer, and she encouraged me to submit the film that we developed together. I didn't think much of it at the time, but in hindsight, it's definitely changed my perspective on my goals for the future. I always knew that I wanted to be a filmmaker, but I never knew if I was good enough to join such a competitive industry until I went to AAHSFF. The experience gave me a lot of reassurance and it was extremely validating because I actually got to see firsthand the incredible reception from both the audience members, and the judges. It definitely gave me a lot of inspiration to continue pursuing what I love.

First off. I'd like to thank all the students for letting me hop in the class of 2016 sophomore year, you guys were all really nice and welcoming and I'm glad I made the switch. Secondly, I'd like to thank all my math and science teachers for dealing with my multitude of questions, and all my english and history teachers for tolerating my quiet observation during our Hark ness discussions. I'd also like to thank myself for stepping it up last year so I can actually make it into college. Future me, you're welcome. Lastly, I'd like to thank my parents for attempting to help me with my AP Calc homework, and for paying for my education. Sorry you bred such an expensive child.

"It always seems impossible until it is done" - Nelson Mandela My first real experience at Hun was on the 20th of August when "fhockey" preseason started. Arriving the day before, the eight hour time difference was catching up with me, so obviously the first thing we had to do was sprint a mile. If you hadn't guessed, it wasn't my best time. But, this is how my Hun experience started and I wouldn't want it any other way. I am part of an amazing team with a great group of girls, I live in Global Commons (which is heaven compared to my previous school) and I have made lovely friends. Even with my short life here, I know I will miss it and the people who have become part of my life. I would also love to thank everyone. All my teachers; Ms. Garrett, Mr. Sacco, Mme. Santos, Mr. Solomon, Ms. Piel, and Ms. Watts, for putting up with me in class and helping me out when I needed it. To Ms. Mishra for always being there, with my millions of visits, and making time for me. To Ms. Quirk for being an amazing coach and for helping out with any issues. To all of Res Life for, once again, putting up with me and my forgetfulness and always understanding and helping with various problems. To the Kitchen Staff for the amazing meals and to the cleaning and maintenance staff for all their great work. Finally, thanks to the seniors for being extremely welcoming and providing constant support and love. Good luck to everyone with your future and you CAN do the impossible!

Thank you Hun for allowing me to experience one of the best years of my life. I would firstly like to thank my family for supporting and giving me so much throughout my high school career including my three sisters Gabbie, Sarina, Izzie, and my dog Floyd. Secondly I would like to thank my friends who have become my second family. Shoutout to the Hun Lax, F. Hockey crew, theater group, and SDLC clique. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Douce, Mrs. Garrison, Ms. Martin, Mrs. Mishra, Dr. Fabian, and Mr. Sacco for making my high school experience that much greater. With these words I part with you all "we didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun".
I first became interested in politics during my sophomore US History class. During this time, I began informing myself about the political happenings in our country through reading articles and watching the news media. But you only get so much information about politics by reading. I wanted to see with my own eyes how the political process worked. In becoming an intern in Congressman Rush Holt's District Office, I became more acclimated with what goes on behind the scenes - the constant phone calls by constituents, the sea of important correspondence, and the piles of casework. It was an experience that truly opened my eyes not only in the amount of work that is done, but also that there is still a lot for me to learn in regards to politics. Right now, I am currently an editor and political writer for the Hun Mall and I will be interning with Senator Cory Booker come this May. I love to talk about anything political and welcome people to challenge me on my beliefs.

Hun has been a real roller coaster. Ups, downs, lefts rights. I could've never done it without people supporting me. Momma and Pop, Hoi it Down. My sisters, all three of you, good luck without me. My little brother, you the man. In school, shout out to the squad: Smitti, Knee Cap, Savage, Salami Boy, Young Pulley. Shout out my Youngins, you're all my seed. And shoutout to the ladies one time for the one time, y'all the real mvp. Thank God for protecting me through my 4 years here.
immersed 1 1 \ | Over the summer, I participated in School Year Abroad Spain's fiveweek program. I lived with a host family in Zaragoza, the fifth largest city in Spain. Throughout the program, I took Spanish language and culture classes, visited and studied many of the historical/cultural aspects of the city, and took trips with my program to various parts of Spain. I really enjoyed learning about what culture actually is—going day in and out practicing a different way of life. I made so many friends and most of them were Spanish because I got to accompany my host sisters on their summer adventures. I was surprised by how the immersion never stopped—it was Spanish conversation first thing every Sunday morning, unlike Spanish class where you turn on and off the language. It was rewarding, however, to see how improving my language skills helped me also to live more comfortably in Zaragoza. I felt much more prepared for AP Spanish after the program because I am not as afraid to casually converse in Spanish and I know how to write about comparisons between Spanish and American culture.

Thanks, Hun. You gave me new friends, unparalleled opportunities, and a • community that I will never forget. To those who will graduate after me, in the words of Steve Jobs, "Stay hungry, stay foolish." Every waking second at Hun is a blessing, and please, cherish your time here. In the end, I'm happy that it hurts m * so much to leave Hun. The pain of leaving is simply a reflection of how much Hun has truly impacted me. Mom, Dad, Grace, and KBT: Words can not describe how deeply I appreciate ya'll. The future would be truly dim if ya'll weren't by my side every step of the way.

To all the kids who look up to me as a role model, I have one piece of advice for y'all, no matter what you do, where you go, and what you accomplish, you will never be like me.

Truly, I can't imagine life without you. Thank you for being my biggest cheerleader, and my best friend. GB, WB, KC, JK, BL, DM, EW: You all have shown me that learning happens outside the classroom. My time at Hun couldn't have been better spent than with you guys. Thank you. Mrs. Mishra: You have been, and always will be, a second mother to me.

Thank you to all the teachers that have helped me through my time at Hun. It's been a great 4 years at Hun and I've made some great friends. I'd like to thank my parents for giving me such a wonderful education and having an amazing high school experience. Thank you to all my teachers for guiding me through these past 4 years and teaching me with compassion and kindness.

Those of you who are important to me know who you are, so instead of just listing a bunch of names, here are some of my favorite quotes from my four years here (slightly paraphrased because I don't carry around a notebook copying down quotes like some kind of lowly scribe):"Hey guys, let's have a pedantic argument." - Griffin Barich"Mmmbop, ba duba dop, ba du dop, ba duba dop." - Ajay Vasisht "Beethoven was a musical savage." - Bartholomew Cornfront, filmmaker extraordinaire and scarf enthusiast "My favorite part of Hun is definitely the Raider House Competitions." Seren Kierkegaard "Everyone calls me Senor Espinosa, except for Etan, who calls me Simon. I don't know why." - Simon "'ambiguously glances, ambiguously chuckles*" Mr. Douce "Mr. Weisfogel, you had one job, and you failed." - Mr. Lockhart-Gilroy (context repressed)lf I might criticize my own work a little, I think I really have two strains of comedy here, one more observational and relatable, the other more absurd. I haven't found a way to reconcile the two, but I also wrote this very late and 4 weeks past deadline, so I don't have time to edit. Accept this as a beautiful work in progress, which you, the reader, must now complete by pretending it's good. I will be genuine for one moment, and give actual thanks to all the people who supported me and made my experience at Hun so very enjoyable. You guys are the best! Special shoutout to The Hun Review, the JCC, all the Diversity groups (especially my fellow Executive Council members), and, of course, my favorite child, the Film Club. And one final thanks to the PA Cafe. I will always love you.
This past summer, over the course of 2 months, I helped to reconstruct all of Hun's new classrooms. To be honest, I'm not sure why we built the new classrooms; I was just given the order to start taking desks out of the room because they were being demo-ed. There was quite a bit that went into making the new classrooms. We first had to take out the desks from 8 different rooms. Next came the tearing up of the carpet, that took longer then expected because it was glued to the floor unlike in homes where there is padding under the carpet. After that, the walls had to come down. For 8 different rooms, the cinderblock walls that divided the rooms were taken down to make one big room. Then came dry wall, which was put up for purely ascetic reasons and helped make those rooms different from the other cinderblock rooms. After the drywall was up, we painted all of the rooms. After the paint came new carpet. Before there was tile, but since it is a new room, we decided to put new flooring down. Towards the end came the new AV equipmentthings like the new smart TVs and Apple TVs. Then the very last thing that was added was the furniture-things like Harkness tables and new chairs. As a whole, I like that I was able to help the school change and grow for the better.

First, I want to thank my parents, brother, and sister for everything that they have done for me and for supporting me and my decisions along the way. I would not have been able to make it to where I am today without you guys. I also want to thank Coach McQuade, Coach Jones, and Coach Mono for everything that you guys have done for me both on and off the field. Shout out to all of the Hun Baseball boys, thank you all for the memories. Jordyn, MJ, Jacob, and Josh: These last four years have been great, and I'm looking forward to many more.

"When people ask me what I do it has always been hard for me to give them an answer that makes sense, without making what I do sound boring and easy. So instead, I'll give you dictionary.com's answer: 'dressage: the art of method of training a horse in obedience and in precision of movement.' I have been riding horses competitively for almost ten years, and doing dressage for five of them. I've never really thought about why I love it so much, I just know that I do because it's the one thing that's always been there, and the one thing that I've never wanted to give up. Over the years, I've found my way to a lot of awards and recognitions, but the one I'm most proud of is the United States Dressage Federation Bronze Medal, which I just received in Las Vegas this past December. I owe a lot of my success in riding to my parents, especially my mom because she's always been up before the sun, even in the freezing cold to help me. I am looking forward to riding for the dressage team at Elon University in the fall."

"I joined martial aris because I have taken karate, and I wanted lo get an experience on what martial arts was like since they are two different activities. A typical martial arts practice starts with a few minutes of warm ups. Then, the team practices self defense or forms. The team also practice some kicks and sparring In my experience in AHAMA. it seems like well all have a great bond. Everyone works hard and it was a great experience. I think that martial arts is a good experience and it would probably help many people.

The typical race day is very similar to any ofber day I don't like lo change loo many things except getting out of school a little earlier. 4, Did you have any bad weather while running, and how did it affect you/the team? W e did have some terrible weather during the State Tournament at Blair. It had been drizzling fhe entire day, but al fhe start of the boys race it began to pour, slowing everyone down. 5. What is your best moment from cross country this year? My best moment from cross country occurred at the start of a few races this year when some of the runners would sprint as fast as they could for all of 200 meters and then begin to greatly slow down.

seconds to win it In one of the most exciting games of the year, the Raiders made a huge comeback in the game against The Hill School. Despite taking an early lead in the first quarter, the boys found themselves trailing behind for the next two quarters until they made an incredible comeback. With the game tied at 59 with 37 seconds remaining, most people expected the game to shift to overtime. A turnover from the Hill School allowed the Raiders to take possession with 3.7 seconds remaining, which was all Justin Cort' 18 needed to end the game with the final score at 6 1 -59.

ROBERT HUSELID '16
I tore my ACL going into my Junior year and my main focus was pitching so that's just what I stuck to I think the hardest part in pitching is staying composed when mistakes start to get made by yourself or even the team. The easiest part though, for me anyway, is to constantly go after Timers no matter where they are in trie lineup. I have 0 thoughts when I'm pitching; my mind is literally empty. One time, [started thinking about my back leg pushing off and it messed me up tor a few batters, so other than that one time, never.

"But the last one: the baby who trails her scent like a flag of surrender through your life when there will be no more coming after —oh, that's love by a different name. She is the babe you hold in your arms for an hour after she's gone to sleep. If you put her down in the crib, she might wake up changed and fly away. So instead you rock by the window, drinking the light from her skin, breathing her exhaled dreams. Your heart bays to the double crescent moons of closed lashes on her cheeks. She's the one you can't put down." -Kingsolver
Love you with all our heart soul , and might, Mommy, Daddy and David
