be unhappy with his decision to get a tattoo of a koi fish. He asked himself what size he wanted and if he really did want it forever.

“I don’t think there is a certain good age to get a tattoo,” Hitt said. “Just make sure you are ready for it and you really like it. My advice to people who want tattoos is to do it! Just don’t go and get something that you’ll regret, and don’t get it from someone shady.”

For several years, senior Erin Johnston has considered getting a tattoo. She said she thinks an appropriate age to get a tattoo is senior year so that one has time to mature and evaluate whether a tattoo will have the same appeal and significance later in life.

Tribal bands, cartoon characters, a girlfriend’s name — all seem to be good tattoos at first, but after the regret sets in, one realizes getting the image permanently inked on his skin was not a practical decision. Once the reality of the situation becomes clear, some people turn to removal to erase their mistakes.

Dan McClure, owner of Bullwinkles Tattoo shop, said he is currently undergoing his own tattoo removal process on small dots tattooed on his face.

“I am using laser removal,” McClure said. “It doesn’t hurt anymore than getting a tattoo, it is actually quicker.

It’s expensive though. For just one session I pay $250.”

Leslee Miller, practice administrator for Moeller Dermatology, said that for the 15 years that tattoo removal has been offered there, business has been stable, especially

Prom changes made; students share their plans

by EMMA KAISER staff writer Dresses are being bought, reservations are being placed and decisions for the offcampus Prom are being made. Prom season is in the air and changes are in place. This year, Prom will be held at Exploration Place and the disc jockeys will be music teacher Bryan Miller and science teacher Rob Archibald.

Since the cost to rent Exploration Place is almost $2,000, other aspects of Prom are being modified and eliminated as needed to budget the change.

“There won’t be a drastic change in ticket prices,” junior class president Laurel Lujano said. “Because of this, we have to find cheaper ideas for the little things like centerpieces for the tables.”

As for the choice in DJ this year, associate principal Chris Bloomer said he thinks using teachers will be “cheaper and definitely more entertaining.” “[This year] I’m most looking forward to Mr. Miller and Mr. Archibald DJ-ing,” se-

nior Katelyn Real said. “They will do a great job and be so funny.”

Real went to Prom last year and enjoyed the dance; although, she said Project Prom

at All Star Adventures was not as entertaining as she expected. This year she plans to hang out with friends until morning and then eat at IHOP. “I think the change of venue will be really interesting,” senior Sam Breitenbach said. “It will hopefully make more kids want

to come and possibly give us more room to dance.”

Last year, Breitenbach went to Prom with his current girlfriend, senior Bailey Buer. He and a friend videotaped themselves asking their dates to Prom and played the video at the end of their AP US History class.

“It took us forever to come up with what to say but eventually we just got together at my house and winged it,” Breitenbach said.

“It was really funny and everyone in the class laughed.”

After the dance, Breitenbach and his friends went to Project Prom and then to an after party at a classmate’s house.

“After Prom was by far the best part,” Breitenbach said. “Basically, I’m looking forward to every part of Prom. I just love the whole experience.”

Lujano said there are many surprises in store for the students who attend Prom beyond just the changes known to the public.

StuCo members said they believe Prom attendees this year will be pleased.

“I am definitely excited,” Real said. “It will be like a fairy tale.”

Everything from the planning to the actual night, Prom is a part of high school that will be remembered.

There are many such high school experiences that some students might be missing out on. One should not sit out on prom just because of not having a date. Attending with friends could have an even bigger significance. By making the best of one’s time at Kapaun Mt. Carmel, high school will be looked back on with fond memories.

Staffers review Lenten Friday options for recipes, restaurants Doc Green’s Every Friday during Lent, Catholics make the sacrifice not to eat meat. It may seem quite difficult to find a restaurant that meets this requirement. For a casual, simple solution to dinner or lunch plans during the season of Lent, consider Doc Green’s.

With each of the delicious salads Doc Green’s has to choose from, it offers a choice of grilled portabello mushroom or poached chilled salmon. For a Friday in Lent, these are perfect choices to add flavor to your already fantastic salad.

Doc Green’s also offers a couple of sandwiches that fit perfectly into the Lenten diet — the S a l m o n Sandwich, Por tabello Mushroom Sandwich or the Grilled Veggie Wrap. Hot entrées such as Grilled Salmon, Roasted Tomato Bisque Soup and Broccoli and Cheese Soup are also great choices for more of a hardy meal. If you desire a little more flavor to your dish, add a side of Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Gravy or Macaroni and Cheese. Both side choices are extremely tasty.

Doc Green’s offers an exquisite combination of flavors, a large selection of food, an extremely nice atmosphere and a friendly staff. It is a perfect choice for your next Friday outing during Lent. sarah frangenberg paladin

Bonefish Grill Excellent service, fancy interior and delectable seafood makes Bonefish Grill a great restaurant at which to fulfill your Lenten obligations. The dim lighting makes for an intimate dinner with your family or significant other. While the menu is pricey, I can tell you that it was worth spending my parents’ money.

I decided to treat myself to Bang Bang Shrimp, s a l m o n topped with a sweet mango sauce, Chocolate Crème Brulee and the brownie with raspberry topping. I recommend the appetizer, Bang Bang Shrimp, above all. It has a little kick, but not too much for those who don’t like spicy food. The salmon was tender and blended very well with the mango sauce drizzled over it. The Chocolate Crème Brulee was heavenly, as was the melting brownie with raspberry topping.

The top-notch service never leaves a customer with an empty beverage or dirty plate. The waiters and waitresses cater to the customer’s needs and make sure you have the best experience possible. If you are willing to spend some money to treat yourself to a tasty, meat-free meal, I highly recommend you pack up the car and head over to Bonegrace hesse fish Grill.

Spangles

It seems like Spangles comes up with a new food idea about every week, such as the Wok n’ Roll Bowl, the Breakfast Bowl or the Chili Bowl. It should not come as a surprise that they have the new Seafood Crab on Pita to appeal to the Lenten crowd. If you are looking for a fast, meatless meal, I am here to tell you that the Seafood Crab on Pita is a fine choice. It contains crab, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and sauce. It does not top the charts in the food industry, but it is fine to have once during Lent. As far as meatless meals go, they have the Seafood Crab on Pita, French fries, Grilled Cheese, Onion Rings, and French Toast. These selections are generally tasty, though they may not be the healthiest choices on the menu.

Spangles also has a fun interior decorated Rock n’ Roll theme. It is bright, comfortable, and welcoming. The music and ornate walls provide entertainment while you eat. If you’re bummed that you can’t eat meat on a Friday, just look at the life-sized Marilyn Monroe statue. It will cheer you right up!

Other decorations on the wall never fail to brighten the day. Overall, Spangles is a solid choice for food during Lent. Maybe coming out with a new dish every other hour is actugrace hesse ally good idea! journalism.kapaun.org

gabby ferraro, recipe from emily lutz

Perfect for cold days during Lent, this soup is sure to be a favorite. One should not become overwhelmed by the amount of ingredients; they are items common in most kitchens. The flavors merge and complement one another perfectly; the mushrooms give the soup the meaty flavor and texture that one craves on Fridays.

Mozzarella en Carozza

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. With a 3” round cookie cutter, cut out rounds from the center of twenty pieces of the bread. Spread 1 teaspoon of tomato pesto on the center of ten pieces of rounds – about 1/4” from the perimeter.

3. Set up a dredging station in three bowls: flour, beaten eggs and breadcrumbs. Lightly dip each slice of mozzarella in flour, tapping off excess. Lay a slice of mozzarella in the center of each pesto-ed bread round. Cover all with plain rounds. Now you have ten sandwiches- bread will extend slightly beyond the mozzarella.

4. Start a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. When hot, pour in enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the sandwiches - about 1/2”.

5. Dip each sandwich in the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Next, coat each sandwich in the crumbs, ensuring the sides are covered.

6. Fry the sandwiches, in batches, turning once, until both sides are golden brown and cheese is oozing. Place on a paper towel-lined sheet pan and sprinkle with salt. You can keep the first batch of sandwiches warm in a 200 degree oven while frygabby ferraro, recipe from TLC ing the second batch.

The grilled cheese we grew up with is enhanced and brilliant.

The preparation is vigorous, but the taste is worth the wait. This recipe is a taste of Italy that will leave one wanting more. With cheese stretching after every bite, one has the sensation of a mozzarella stick; however, this sandwich will leave one feeling satisfied.

Male, female prom clothing shops reviewed by staffers Foggy Bottom Walking into Foggy Bottom, I was greeted and led upstairs by signs labeled “prom dresses.” The real action is upstairs; I saw racks full of dresses. To the left a little disco ball twirled near the row of dressing rooms. And in front of me stood a stage where I assume girls act out their modeling fantasies. The attendant greeted me but did not offer to help. That was a little disappointing, considering Prom could possibly be the biggest dance of my high school career, and to make it the best dance I need the best dress, and to find the best dress I might need her help. I guess that will not happen. I began looking around. And look what I found, oh my gosh, there is a prom dress made out of denim. Finally, I can have the dress of my dreams.

From denim dresses bedazzled with jewels, to more sensible, stylish dresses, Foggy Bottom had a wide range. Their selection of dresses and accompanying jewelry is a big benefit to the many Cinderella-want-to- be’s. I also noticed many different prices, most in the “yay-there-goes- several-pay-checks” variety. After considering a couple of dresses, the denim one for sure, I put them in the back of my mind because they did not grab my eye. In the end, I left Foggy Bottom with several critiques. I was not offered help or any dresses that fit my style or budget. Foggy Bottom is definitely worth looking at; it may have just what a girl is looking for, just not what I was. halsten higgins

Parrot-Fa-Nalia Tux Shop Conveniently, while your chick is looking through all the dresses at Parrot-Fa-Nalia, you can get your tux fix too. Admittedly, their tux selection is more limited than what a store like Men’s Wearhouse would have, but it was at about the same price, for quicker service and more individual attention. The workers are friendly and they make sure you have a perfectly matching vest to your date’s dress. If you are debating whether or not to go to this seemingly girly shop, you are not alone, but there were always guys in Parrot-Fa-Nalia when I was there. I am definitely planning on returning to Parrot-Fa-Nalia this year and I matt riedl would highly recommend it to gentlemen of KMC.

Parrot-Fa-Nalia The door jingled as I walked into the small crowded boutique of Parrot-Fa-Nalia. As I was greeted warmly by the lady up front, I stepped in and saw the small area busting with dresses. I was asked what I was looking for and led in the right direction. This quirky boutique houses dresses of all sizes and styles. I found some I liked and some I know my bedazzle-loving friends would like. It was lacking any denim dresses, which is not cool. But I did see several dresses that I really liked, and the price tag did not make me want to put it down. Unlike the Foggy Bottom soundtrack, replaying Justin Bieber songs, Parrot-Fa-Nalia had the classics playing, “Dance With Me” and other ‘70s songs are on the play list, only adding to the atmosphere of the boutique. Although I did not have as much room to walk around, the dresses I was squashed up against were much more appealing. I saw more one of a kind dresses for more acceptable halsten higgins prices. My paycheck can sleep well. journalism.kapaun.org

Cheating continues to be harming both students,

by MELISSA HERNANDEZ assistant feature editor “Look up for inspiration, down in desperation, never side to side for information.” These words are often recited by history teacher Crista Burnett before taking a test; however many times these words of advice are not followed.

In a survey conducted by the US News and World Report, 80 percent of students admitted to cheating during high school.

According to the Educational Testing Service, cheating has risen significantly during the past 50 years. As the numbers increase, methods of cheating have become more creative. Some common approaches include cheat sheets in the sleeve, on a tie, between the legs or on water bottles, as well as the use of phones.

“We had to memorize Bible quotes in Faith and Reason,” junior Tom* said. “I took pictures of my notes with my iPhone and put it under my leg and pulled it out when I needed it.”

Also, technology has made it accessible to buy and download term papers. Sites like http://sparknotes.com or http://pinkmonkey.com allow students to know the aspects of a novel without actually having to read it.

“It is okay if [Sparknotes] is used for supplemental aid,” English teacher Pat Raglin said. “It is cheating if you lie to the teacher’s face and say you read the novel; using only Sparknotes is cheating yourself because you are not enjoying [the novel].”

Whether the reason is laziness, parental pressure or seeking the easiest way out, students find justification for their cheating.

“I cheat because there is a lack of time,” senior Kate* said. “[I have] too much homework and I can’t get it all done.”

Parental pressure to obtain high grades is also a reason for cheating among students. Junior Matt Linnebur said he experiences pressure from his parents as well as from himself to earn good grades in order to attend a college in where he will be able to succeed and study alongside his friends. Linnebur believes that because he attends a school that is competitive and has set high standards for their students, pressure to do well is greater and that grades decide your future.

“I go to desperate measures to please my parents,” Tom said. “I have put quotes I had to memorize for English on my tie.

I have written on my cuffs, and I have only gotten caught once.”

However, junior Tyler Dobbs believes it is not a bad thing for parents to pressure their children to excel academically.

“It’s not necessarily bad for parents to urge their children to do well in school; the blame would still fall with the children who choose to cheat, not with the parents who simply want them to succeed,” Dobbs said.

e issue teachers This desire to succeed may drive students to cheat in order to earn high GPA’s and college admission to the college of their choice. However, associate principal Chris Bloomer said that academic integrity is one of the most valued quality that colleges are searching for.

“We as Americans measure everything by success, power and money,” religion teacher Chris Stewart said.

“We look for the easiest way out.”

According to Kapaun Mt. Carmel’s cheating policy, consequences to cheating include loss of credit on the academic project, a discipline referral slip sent to parents, and the assessment of a major violation. However, the consequences may affect the student later in life. “[Cheating] could affect college admission or scholarship opportunities. Beyond that, it shows a lack of discipline, a tendency to cut corners, and a lack of integrity,” Bloomer said. “This is of course not to mention that generally the skill or knowledge that is supposed to be gained is generally not gained if someone cheats.”

Academic cheating is not only unfair to the teacher, but it can also harm teacher-student trust. “[Cheating] really hurts me because I trust my students and I assume they are the best,” Raglin said. “It’s like a personal slap on the face.”

Two students moved a test from its original place in an attempt to delay a science test for teacher Larry Greytak. This resulted in eight hours of community service for each student and an apology email to the teacher.

“It drives a wedge between [teachers and students] and damages the relationship; it becomes an issue of trust,” Stewart said.

Stewart said refraining from cheating is the best option.

“There is the stress of creating the anxiety of getting caught, and the guild of it, Stewart said.

The after effects of cheating could all be relieved by simply completing one’s own work, Bloomer said.

“Take the time, do the work, and you will be better off in the long run on multiple levels,” Bloomer said. “Whenever someone cheats they think they are getting away with something. In the end they are really hurting themselves. It’s their education.” * name has been changed

Teachers explain how cheating affects them

“

history teacher DAVID ROBERTS

“

It makes me feel that I’m not a good teacher, and I cannot l trust them. It makes me fee e com not ld bad that they cou ask for help, instead of taking the easy way out.

“

“

First of all, there is the disappointment that a student would stoop to the level of cheating after I told them not to risk their immortal soul on that. There is also a little bit of a sense of justice. It’s not fair to find a student cheating when others are not.

Staffers debate differences between guys and girls, defend own opinions The problem with guys: We have all seen it — the guy who seems perfect. He is so sensitive during one-on-one conversations, sends you the sweetest texts, and really makes you believe that maybe they are not all the same — that he is special.

Then you meet his friends and the sweet, perfect guy disappears. In some messed-up attempt to be funny, he will crack a joke at your expense, make disrespectful comments or even ignore your every word. He is a completely different person, leaving you confused and angry.

This is because, despite all the showy male bravado, guys are very insecure. They will do almost anything to feel respected and “cool.” So, they throw girls under the bus and say things they do not really mean to get attention and feel superior. High school girls get the reputation for being catty and fake, but guys are the ones who truly try to hide who they are.

The only cure for this seems RACHEL WALKER to be a shot of real confidence and security, which as far as I have staff writer seen, high school boys are incapable of having. This makes it impossible for girls to even consider them romantically — who wants to be with someone who does not even believe in himself? Eventually, most guys will reach the point where they become man enough to stand up for themselves without having to hide it with cheap jokes or false self-assurance. However, I doubt many boys here at Kapaun Mt. Carmel are willing to risk their popularity or reputations by (gasp!) being themselves.

Why Christian is totally wrong: Many girls could be considered “high maintenance,” but this is not necessarily a bad thing. It is a sign of self-respect when a girl holds the boy she dates to high standards. We don’t expect you to read our minds; we just acknowledge it when a guy is thoughtful.

Telling your boyfriend exactly what you want all the time is irrational because it makes gifts and affection no longer heartfelt.

Girls do not demand that guys spend excessive time and money on dates and such, but every girl appreciates it when a guy is especially caring.

Girls do not require too much from guys, but attention and respect are a necessity. High school girls may seem emotional at times, but I think it is important to express your feelings and thoughts in a relationship. We are not crazy; we simply want to be treated well.

The problem with girls: Presents at six months, Christmas, her birthday and then Valentine’s Day and no time on the weekends to hang with just the guys. Girls just take up your time and money! They may deny it over and over and say they do not want anything, but the second we forget a significant date or to get them something special, it is in the dog house for me, and her claws come out.

Well, we have some news for the girl population. We are not going to take it! You are leaving the guy population confused, unhappy and most of all broke; you wonder why we do not like relationships in the first place.

We do all we can to make you happy, but you cannot expect us to remember every minute detail of our relationship. Two months does not seem like that big of a deal. The senseless mind games are too hard to understand. I think you just need to decide on what you want. If you want a present, tell us. If you want us to remember something, tell us. You cannot expect us to read your minds -- that is just absurd!

I love girls, do not get me wrong, but sometimes they make dating seem just impossible. I think the up and down moods of girls and the males’ sense of not caring, makes relationships at the high school age at times seem pointless. Girls are emotional and guys are clueless.

Why Rachel is totally wrong: I admit that guys are often different around their friends and the girl they are talking to. This is not due to us trying to feel respected around our friends, or be some sort of alpha male. We are not barbaric wolves trying to lead the pack. The reason we act different is because if we really like a girl, we try to impress her and be the best we can around her. We go to great extents to get a girl to like us, and being a nice, sensitive guy is sometimes what we have to do. We just want to be liked.

On the other hand, when we are with our friends, we do not hold back on our more crude side. We do not mean to offend you. We can make poor decisions sometimes but that is what makes us guys. We all act this way at times, some of us more than others. Guys do not need real confidence or security -- we just enjoy ludicrous entertainment every once in a while. I’m sorry to break it to the girls, but every “Prince Charming” is a little rough around the edges; CHRISTIAN WILLIAMS you just have to accept us for who we are. staff writer page design by bea tretbar

Local starlet returns to help students shine Wichita native Burns directs vocals for Hairspray, provides inspiration

by ERIKA REALS copy editor

After performing on Broadway and in shows throughout Europe, suffering from a goiter in her thyroid and having a near-death experience, Karla Burns is returning as the vocal director for Hairspray.

“It has been not only a privilege, but an honor to be able to work with [Burns] and to call her my friend,” drama teacher Michael Parker said.

A Wichita native, world traveler, actress and vocalist, Burns was the first African American to win Britain’s Laurence Olivier Award; she also won the Kansas Governor’s Arts award in 1991. In the Broadway production of Kern/Hammerstein’s Show Boat, she won the Drama Desk Award and was nominated for a Tony Award for her performance of Queenie.

“Having a Broadway experience was vastly wonderful,” Burns said. “Who knew a kid from Wichita, Kansas could be able to do these things?”

Burns first met Parker after working with him at the Great Plains Theatre in Atchison, Kan. They became fast friends and soon Parker was bringing Burns in to be vocal director for Kapaun Mt. Carmel productions such as Nunsense, Seussical, Children of Eden, Les Miserables and currently Hairspray.

During the production of Nunsense, Burns’ life changed drastically. She went to the hospital to get an asthma shot, an oversized goiter was found in her chest and thyroid, hospitalizing her. A pediatric vent had

to be placed in her throat through her mouth and chest, but she died four days after hospitalization. After several minutes, she was revived. Burns said she is still trying to figure out what happened those few minutes she was not alive.

“I remember a whole bunch of people around me,” Burns said. “I knew there were a lot of people who wanted me to live.”

The 9 pound 6 ounce goiter was removed and was not malignant.

After recovery and hospitalization, she had speech therapy and physical therapy seven to eight times a week over a period of two years.

“I tried to learn how to talk, and [I did not know] if I could ever sing again in all my life,” Burns said. “I knew I can’t give up. I needed to keep singing, I needed to keep teaching, even when I couldn’t to the best of my ability.”

Parker said Burns does not shy away from a challenge. She returned to KMC to help direct Seussical the following spring.

“I really didn’t believe I could do that because I real- l y couldn’t even talk,” Burns said. “I asked myself ‘how could I teach these students if I can’t talk?’”

Matt in the City is a monthly column where student life editor Matt Riedl explores and experiences Wichita culture firsthand, giving insight along the way.

I don’t know about you, but at about this time of year, I could use a bit of a pick-meup. What with tennis, Hairspray, Paladin and Prom, it’s a busy time of year! Sometimes, I could use a bit of R&R, so to speak. So this month in Matt in the City, I trod ground not frequently trodded by males – the spa.

Upon a recommendation from a friend who used to work there, I visited Healing Waters Day Spa in Bradley Fair for the day.

Inside, the place is lined with waterfalls and

smooth stones, making for a very relaxing setting. I did not realize, however, that I had to strip down to my birthday suit for this massage. At first I was slightly uncomfortable going au naturel here around all these women, but once I met my masseuse Julie, everything was all good. Her healing hands and aromas for a solid hour – priceless (Well actually not priceless, as it was $85). She was super nice to me, and I made sure to give her a nice tip.

Afterwards, you know I was hitting up the “relaxation room,” as they call it. I was the only guy in there amidst all these females, and I was getting some looks and smiles.

They thought that I was the oh-so-sensitive guy who goes to the spa. When you’re Matt Riedl, what can you do? You cannot help that ladies love you!

Until next time, this is Matt Riedl, keepin’ it fresh, fly and clean on a daily basis.

journalism.kapaun.org

Parker said Burns really tries to help the kids bring life into the music.

“She can offer insights to what the characters are feeling and singing about,” Parker said. “She is another set of eyes for us when we run the production. She is truly part of the creative team for the show.”

Burns said Parker, music conductor Bryan Miller and herself have had a nice par tnership over the years, but she also has had one with the students.

“She has taught me a lot,” sophomore Schyler Merrills said. “I worked with her for five minutes for a song and she perfected it. It was crazy.”

Merrills said she teaches the students that there’s a small part but never a small actor.

“They kept allowing me to be in their lives,” Burns said. “I told [President Mike] Burrus I’d like to do a concert with those who have inspired me the most.”

Her comeback concert “Karla is Back and Her Hair is Sprayed” will be performed at KMC May 6, 7 and 8.

Those involved are Burns, Parker, the Hairspray cast and some KMC theatre alumni.

“It didn’t stop me from singing,” Burns said. “Nothing ever stopped me from singing. Both my determination and desire never waned in all my life. God gave me a way for that to happen.”

When senior David Auer began playing golf with his dad at age five it was all about driving golf carts. Over the years, however, it has become his passion.

“My dad got me started at a young age,” Auer said.

“Ever since, I have loved it.”

Auer began playing competitively at age 10. He achieved the title of City League runner-up his first three years of high school and won state with the Kapaun Mt. Carmel team last year. Auer advanced to the top 16 of state match play and was named to the Kansas-Nebraska All-state team last year. Auer also plays two or three tournaments a week throughout the summer.

“He is able to work through bad shots or bad holes and get back on to his game and this shows others that it can be done,” coach Dan Phillips said.

Auer seems to play best when the conditions are worst and the pressure is the highest, Phillips said.

“Auer has great mental toughness and work ethic,” Phillips said. “He can battle through and recover from tough situations.”

Friends since birth, Auer and senior Jack Cantele said they have a great time together. Cantele said he enjoys having Auer as a teammate because he is entertaining, always positive and a great golfer.

Auer will be attending the University of Kansas on a golf and academic scholarship. He plans to major in civil engineering.

“Golf has taught me to be a gentleman,” Auer said. story by molly kush; photo by scott southern; infographic by maddie sleconich

High school athletes spend money on sports, ranges differ CHEERLEADING Cheerleading, the longest sport season at Kapaun Mt. Carmel besides pom, lasts 10 months and costs, approximately $500.

Throughout the year, cheerleaders spend money on mandatory expenses such as camp, camp clothes, bags, shoes, turtlenecks and briefs, coach Des Moreno said. Additional expenses, like spirit wear are optional but are purchased by most. During the summer, cheerleaders participate in car washes, garage sales and clinics to raise money for their uniforms, poms, warmups and mats.

“CHEERLEADING is worth it because it pays off in the end. The memories are priceless and you get lots of cute clothes to reuse during the year.”

- senior Amanda Marrone “Spending money in BASEBALL is worth it because if you spend the money for the best equipment and the big tournaments, it will pay off in the end for college ball.”

- junior Thomas Meitzner “TENNIS lessons are worth it because it makes you better. When you buy a racquet, it’s not just a one time thing. You’ll use it over and over again. I don’t think the cost really matters if you’re having fun and being active.”

- senior Eric George paladin

BASEBALL The baseball season costs $75-$125 for school fees but athletes can spend up to $800 on bats, gloves, cleats and additional clothing. The additional clothing is optional yet preferred by most Kapaun Mt. Carmel athletes. KMC’s baseball team requires cleats but not a specific brand, coach Ryan Burr. The only mandatory fee is $75, which covers hats, shirts and meals. Beginner baseball athletes may spend up to a total of $600, including a bat, hat, gloves, cleats, shirts, meals and clothing.

TENNIS The only equipment required for tennis is a racquet. An athlete can either purchase a $19 from Walmart or a brand new $249 Wilson racquet, coach Chip Reed said. Tennis shoes are not required, however, black-soled running shoes are not allowed on many courts. Additional clothing is available to the athletes, and if purchased, is allowed to be worn during tournaments. Some players may spend $20 while others spend over $1,000 on apparel, rackets and lessons, Reed said.

Players, coach share sports superstitions by

23

please patronize our paladin advertisers

KATIE HAND assistant sports editor

From Michael Jordan’s lucky green shorts to a Kapaun Mt. Carmel sprinter’s lucky underwear, superstitions are common among athletes.

“We have our game rituals beforehand,” boys basketball coach Bernie Pearson said. “Some wear their socks a certain way, some people might eat at a certain place. Then, if you play poorly, you may have something to relate it back to, to blame it on.”

On the boys tennis team, every member has his own habits. These rituals can have a placebo effect, sophomore Daniel Hullings said.

“I spin my racket three times or, if I’m playing poorly, I kiss the ball,” Hullings said. “I have to wear long socks. I see guys who wear a hat take it off and put it back on after every point and one who always bounces the ball eight or nine times before he serves.”

Routines can also help unify a team, sophomore pommie Abby Wagle said.

“Before a dance we form a circle, put a foot in the middle prayer,” Wagle said. “Once our team gets in a routine it feels like if we don’t do the same things before a dance we’ll mess up.”

As it is difficult to tell physically beneficial habits from mentally beneficial ones, sticking to routines and superstitions can be an athlete’s harmless way to boost performance.

“You think those things and play those little mind games,” Pearson said. “If something comes true as a superstition that’s great, and if not, it doesn’t affect anything.”
