As the school year ends, we find ourselves in the last installment of The maX-Files. But it isn't the last ever, next year there will be just as many strange stories for curious readers. This issue contains two stories for your hungry minds. The first is about toxic Nazi smokescreens used to hide a massive German war machine. And our second hit home for us, a local pilot seeing a UFO and giving chase. So let us travel through the fog of our first story. When Claudia Hartl, a treering researcher at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, was doing research on temperatures from the past 2,000 years, she made an unexpected discovery. According to an article by Live Science, almost all the trees surrounding the Kaa fjord in Norway were missing a ring from 70 years ago, around the same time as the second half of WWII. During WWII, the Tirpitz, a massive Nazi German battleship, was used to blockade the north from the transportation of supplies to the USSR. It was anchored for repair and resupply in this remote fjord. It was a big target for allied bombers, so a bizarre weapon
was used to conceal it until 1944 when it was successfully sunk by British Lancaster Bombers. German engineers designed machines that utilized chlorosulfuric acid to hide the massive battleship. When chlorosulfuric acid makes contact with the air, it forms an artificial fog that is toxic to living organisms. It was so corrosive that soldiers and engineers operating or repairing the machine had to wear full protective body suits. The remnants and actions of war have also had another, more surprising impact on us, the creation of new sciences. These sciences help us study the effect of war on the world and environment. As we escape the fog of our first story and the destruction of man, we move on to a Toledoans tale. Back four issues ago in the maX- Files, we covered the story of a video released by the Pentagon acknowledging the existence of a UFO program and possible video evidence. The video was taken in 2004, and the pilot has finally come forward. He is a Toledo native and retired Navy Commander David Fravor. “What was unique with ours is we actually interacted with it. We chased it. I went after it,” Commander Fravor said in a telephone interview with The
Toledo Blade. He has now joined the official list of people to have witnessed a UFO and then chased it in a military aircraft. He witnessed the craft when he was stationed and training near San Diego. On the day of the sighting, the skies were clear and the sea was calm. But the training mission Fravor took a wild turn when they spotted a “Tic-Tac” shaped object. Hovering 20 feet above the sea, the large craft had no sign of a fuel source or source of propulsion. Suddenly it shot over Fravor and disappeared into the cloudless sky. They managed to record the UFO and reported it to their superiors. The video had been classified until early January, it had been classified for 13 years. Commander Fravor would like more transparency about UFOs. “Not everyone is taking it as seriously as it needs to be taken,” Commander Fravor said, “they're out there. We don't know their intentions. They have a capability we don't.” That concludes our last file of the year. I hope you had as much, if not more, fun reading them as I have had writing them. The maX-Files will be locked away for now, but the world cannot hide its secrets forever. Of that, I am certain.

Physics students: can you canoe? Max Kelso staff writer Cardboard, hot glue, duct tape, and plastic visqueen. Those are the materials that Physics teacher John “Doc” Engel allows for use in his Physics canoe class project. Students get tasked with building a boat out of the listed materials and then racing them. Mr. Engel first got the idea when he went to an engineering camp at Ohio State University. Students their were also tasked with creating a canoe, but those were made of concrete. The event inspired him. He started the canoes with materials “more readily available and much more affordable.” for students. It’s a requirement for the physics class and is worth 100 point. Students work together in groups of two or three. Between the AP class and regular class 44 students participated. With 15 boats ready to sail the not so seven seas.
The launching of the canoes took place on May 3, during first, second, and third period. Unlike the engineering class, the physics cardboard canoes were launched solely in the NV pool. Any who were able to attend the launch were welcome. In past years a first grade class from Maplewood Elementary has come and watched. Some of the students have put boats together that are strong enough, thick enough, or heavy enough to be used in Olander, down 10 mile creek, and even out on Lake Erie. But the funniest moments are when the boats fall apart in the water. Either folding in on themselves or sinking. Mr. Engel remembers some of the wackiest designs as “Party Barges”.That’s when students have very tall walls on their canoes and it’s almost impossible to sink. So at the end of every competition, they try and load as many students as possible into them. “We have had cardboard boats that have held up to 17 students, that is im-
pressive,” he said with a smile. Mr. Engel thinks that the best benefits are the real world experience, “It’s the creativity. The opportunity to do something
with a material that is usually everyday, not important. It gives you a sense of accomplishment with something that cheap and light.”
exchange student, they had to go to the preliminary meeting in March. The first requirement was that they had to be taking a French language class. Then, they had to fill out an application with questions regarding their hobbies and home lives. The hosts and the exchange students were matched up based on their likes and dislikes, and spots were chosen by seniority. “When prepping the families in March for hosting the French kids, we discussed the types of foods that the students liked
and places to take them, such as the mall and the zoo,” French teacher Kelsey Liske said. “It’s as easy as that.” The hosts learned a lot from their experiences. “The Frenchies told me that the United States had way more unhealthy food than France. They were also obsessed with the denim look (jean jacket, black shirt, jeans, and Adidas) and the girls carried larger purses,” Zeisler said. All of the hosts and exchange students enjoyed going to Imagination Station, Greenville Village, Walleye games,
getting Starbucks, and spending hours at the mall. In addition to leaving with a handful of bags, the students ended up leaving with a deeper knowledge of American culture. “My favorite part was learning all of their French slang, and in return, we would teach them slang words, such as ‘lit’ and ‘weak’,” Zeisler said. Northview students go to France every other year, so if you would like to be an exchange student in France there will be a meeting next March.

Realizing that time flies Want a better by as you’re growing up exam grade? Zoey Napierala features writer
When I was younger, my grandpa would always joke and ask if I was a teenager yet. I would laugh and shrug it off, it would be years before I was a teenager in high school anyway. Months turned into years, and transitions from elementary and middle school came faster and faster. It seems like just last year I was waving goodbye to my fifth grade teachers. Middle school went by even faster, being only three years, and before I knew it I was enjoying the perks at the end of my eighth grade year. My family would always say, “You’re growing up so fast!” or “High school will fly by”... I never believed
them, I mean why would I? Four years seemed like an eternity the summer before I made the transition to high school. I went into the first day not really knowing what to expect. I barely knew the layout of the school and I never had this m u c h choice in what classes I could take. What did I want to do? Art? Business? Design work? The elective list seemed never ending. I listened to the advice to leave yourself a lunch and study hall, to give enough time for homework and studying. My teachers helped whenever they
could, whether it be before or after school questions or letting me retake a test I underestimated. Looking back on it, I have so many things that I would want to say to my freshman self like, “Oh you should’ve studied more” or “You should’ve gone to that game,” but really thinking about it, I would want freshman me to value the time that I spent with new friends. I would want “me” to learn the right way to do things, to ask and get that help with science homework, or to stay in and soak it all in instead of going out some nights. I would tell myself not
to blink fast because it all goes by so fast, don’t sit and wish you could be an upperclassmen already. Don’t count down the days, instead live them, enjoy the things you have. Sure, you can dream of a few years down the road, but spend your freshman year taking a few electives from each subject. Don’t be afraid to try something new. Try an elective on coding one semester and then take a writing elective the next. Listen to the people saying it will go by fast because it will, you’ll get caught up in friends or a class you love, but try to take a step back and look at the bigger picture, each month is a piece of that puzzle and you might find that you have more pieces solved than you think.
Grace Schlageter staff writer State testing can be exhausting for both the students and teachers. I have been taking state tests since I was in sixth grade, and from personal experience, I know how difficult they can be. Beginning second semester of the 2017-’18 school year, students will have an incentive for their Ohio State Testing. Principal Steve Swaggerty said, “The incentive worked for the OGT, so I assume it will work for the OST. We as administrators empathize with the students and we want them to do the very best that they can.” The incentive is very simple. Students that earn a high enough score on
Controversial Question of the Issue:
Is it okay to put PINEAPPLE on PIZZA? “I think it shouldn’t matter what someone puts on a pizza, if they like it they like it. It’s not like you’re the one eating it.” -Sophomore Hailey Brothag
“I don’t even like Pineapple, so why should I put it on my pizza? That’s just wrong.” -Sophomore Anastasia Carter
their OST in a core class’s test will be able to replace their OST score for their second semester exam grade. The scale is different depending on whether students are in an AP/Honors or general education class. Students will be responsible for filling out a Google form in order to receive a grade change after they receive their OST scores. The hope is that the new incentive will benefit both the teachers and students, that way Northview can succeed as a whole. The new incentive is a great way for students to become motivated for OSTs, especially sophomores. Students can have a higher motive for taking long tests for multiple days in a row.

rundown It seems like just yesterday I began writing my strongest of opinions in my column, Riley’s Rundown. The co-editor column has been a tradition for as long as I can remember, my freshman year it was senior co-editor Geeta Rao, then my sophomore year it was senior co-editor Emma Crandall. I received the tradition of the co-editor column from Emma going into my junior year, and have carried on the tradition ever since. For two years I have written about my opinion on various topics such as subtweeting, popularity, the 2016 election, the power of appreciation, eating disorders and body positivity, the most effective ways to appreciate your senior year, sexual assault and the #MeToo movement, gun violence and using your voice to make change, and how to appreciate the wonderful town we live in. I have utilized my column not only to express my opinions in the most effective way I know, but also with the hope that I have helped to educate some of the people who read the column on important topics and current events. Through writing I have found my voice, and what I believe to be my purpose in society. I started this column unaware of what to write about, thinking that no one would care about my opinions on things. As I progressed I found that writing was the way I wanted to use my voice to make a change, and that even though these columns weren’t on a professional level, if I worked hard and focused in on journalism, then one day I could get to the level where people appreciate my merit and experience enough that they’ll listen. I believe I have a lot to say on a variety of topics, and Riley’s Rundown is not where the journey stops in voicing my opinion. If I have achieved nothing else through my writings, I would hope that I have at least inspired some other students, and maybe even some teachers, to start using their voices to make a change or express themselves. This can take many forms, it’s not limited to writing. But the important thing is to stay true to yourself and your opinions, and learn to voice them whenever you can. The final rundown: never be afraid to speak up for what you believe in, and find a way to use your voice for the greater good. I have found my passion of writing through this column, and I can’t begin to thank Ms. Huey, Emma Crandall, and all of the newspaper staff enough for the support and wonderful opportunities they’ve given me with this column. But don’t worry, the tradition must continue, so I am proud to introduce the newest co-editor Emma Swanson, and her column.
Teachers wish we only knew Lindsey and Emily
Throughout the years of high school, many students form different relationships, both good and bad, with the staff. Some teachers may seem harsh or strict, while others seem easygoing or carefree, all the teachers share one common goal--they want the best for their students. Here’s what a portion of the staff wish their students knew: “Stay Curious! Continue to ask questions and always keep learning.” - Mr.
Malcolm, History
“If you procrastinate on your work, sleep is more important than stressing yourself out. Come talk to the teacher and just be honest. We will be way more likely to help you figure out a plan or give extensions if you take the time to come talk to us, and just be honest.” - Madame Liske, French “I only push my students this hard because I want them to have as many opportunities as they can in college.” - Mrs. Kwiatkowski, Math “It’s not just what you know, but WHO you know as well. Get out and make friends and meet all sorts of different people. This can take you a long way in life and make you the best version of yourself along the way.” - Mr. Silm, Math “Don’t stress over test grades, they don’t mean as much as you think they do.” - Mrs.
Werner, Science
“Don’t stress over failure. Anyone who has ever accomplished anything has gotten there failing at some point. As long as you don’t make it a habit, you learn more than you think through failure.” - Mr. Kwiatkowski, history “If I stop pushing you to learn more and challenge yourself more, then you should worry.” - Mrs. Schloegl, English
Quiz Bowl will rise again Patrick Andres sports editor It is true that Quiz Bowl had the plug pulled on a potential trip to the National Tournament in Atlanta. This is most certainly a shame. But it would be foolish for our team to let our lack of funds define us, for we have brought Northview unprecedented Quiz Bowl success. When the dust settled after an amazing season we went a robust 16-1 between our league and the NBC Academic Challenge tournament - I shall only have fond memories from competing in an activity that I enjoy immensely. My career in Northview Quiz Bowl has been a wild one. My freshman
year, we started 6-4 and won our final eight games. Our losses came to Southview twice, Toledo Tech, and Ottawa Hills; we avenged our loss to the 00 Bears and were crowned champions of the second division of our local Quiz Bowl association. My sophomore year we lost only to Southview: 8-1, and our wins kept getting bigger. We went to Maumee Valley and nipped the Hawks by an eyelash and ended the year with an epic win over Bowling Green in which we overcame a 100-point deficit to clinch another second division title. This year, though, we put it all together. Firing on all cylinders, we breezed through our division of the league,
stomping Southview and handling foes such as Evergreen, Springfield, and the Toledo Islamic Academy. Our season hung in the balance during a tight match with Maumee Valley - which has become one of our biggest rivals - but we rallied at the end, and once again defeated the Hawks by a too-close-for-comfort margin. And though we did lay an egg in the season finale - smacked by Ottawa Hills by a margin that should qualify as unprintable we surpassed all expectations in NBC’s Academic Challenge TV show. After dispatching Elmwood, Rossford, and Perrysburg, we were rewarded with a semifinal date with the Green Bears. It took the highest-scoring game in
Academic Challenge history - 360 to 340 - but we clipped Ottawa Hills and moved on to play for a championship. We put on a clinic against Riverdale, and we gained that trophy we had so longed for, but we gained something else. Of all our accomplishments in my first three years at Northview, few are as special to me as the way we have elevated Quiz Bowl into a real club such that so many people would want to help us in our quest to reach the National Tournament. No Nationals, no problem is the attitude here. We are proud of what we have accomplished, and we thank the school for its support this year and beyond.

By Bree Fangman & Emma Swanson Once upon a time, students took a break from their “provincial lives” to attend the Senior Prom on May 5 at the Pinnacle Center where they experienced a “tale as old as time”. Their story began with the Promenade in downtown Sylvania. Those who were attending Prom showed off their dresses and suits to friends and family. “It was really cool to see everyone at the Promenade walking with their dates,” senior Sabrina Hawkins said. After that, the seniors magical experience continued with dinner at the Pinnacle in Maumee. Shockingly, the plates and cups didn’t come to life, but the graduating class enjoyed their dining experience. “It was fun spending time with our friends and having dinner,” senior Camden Corron said. The tale doesn’t stop there. The class of 2018 spent their night dancing, laughing, and making memories with their friends. However, the seniors knew their fun was coming to an end, so they needed to make the most of the Halloween themed After Prom. “After Prom was really fun, if you didn’t go then you missed out,” senior Brendan McCarthy said. Magicians, bouncy houses, obstacle courses, a fake casino, cornhole tournaments, and more were offered activities to those who went. These memories were the last few the seniors could make with their little time left at Northview, but they were memories they can never forget. The End.

Hundreds of hours of work was displayed which makes students feel proud and accomplished of their pieces. Mr. Creech and Mrs. Seal-Roth work hard to set up the art show to look professional and well-done. The displays on stage are set up each year by the seniors to honor the students who have been involved with Northview art for all four years.

Banquets honor student achievements Steven Barry news editor The end of the school year is always an exciting time for students. It means awards, recognition, exams, and finally, summer. Starting off the awards season was the 56th annual Scholar Athletes Awards Dinner held on March 18. Head Coach Doug Downing and senior Dane Hullibarger were both honored for their work in the classroom and on the field. Also honored at the dinner was former Northview principal and Northern Lakes League commissioner Larry Morrison. Morrison received the Distinguished Service Award for his work in the NLL’s. On April 24, the 31st annual Senior Academ-
ic Banquet was held at Lourdes University. This banquet honors all seniors who have maintained a superior academic record throughout their high school careers. In attendance was 2013 graduate Stephanie Duwve, returning to shine some light on the senior class. The annual choir banquet was held on May 7 and celebrated current and graduating choir members. “I’m really proud of how hard everyone worked this year. I’m really going to miss all the seniors and hope next year will be even better,” junior Audrey Berling said. At this banquet, awards are handed out and the sophomore choir members received their varsity letter. NV’s Orchestra also hosted their annual awards

Like the choir banquet, students bring food to share and Director Pam Thiel hands out awards to each student who has the initiative to go above and beyond, by attending music camps, festivals, workshops, and auditioning into regional orchestras. Mrs. Thiel also handed out the leadership award to senior Karen Pan, who demonstrated responsibility within her peers. “The banquet was so thoughtful and was a great way to commemorate all that we have done together,” junior Motomi Emmanuel. “ The final banquet of the year is the annual NV Band banquet hosted on May 16.

sophomores will receive their varsity letters. “The band banquet is a great way to end concert season.
It is nice to hear from the seniors one last time and all be together,” junior Kerstyn Martinez said.
Music Department hosts spring concerts Abby Summers opinions editor The Orchestra went out with a big bang performing their final concert on April 26 in the Performing Arts Center. They got the chance to perform in front of unexpected staff guests and the local sports station, BCSN. “I had no idea they were coming, it was a great experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better last concert this year. I’ll miss performing with all the seniors though,” sophomore Angie Louis said. “Orchestra has always been good, but this year and this performance was really extraordinary. The musical talent that Northview has is unbelievable,
I wouldn’t want to spend my Thursday night listening to anything else. Thank you for a great performance Orchestra,” junior Mackenzie Lutz said. History teacher Ian Malcolm hosted this event, giving play by play of the songs they were performing and the meaning behind them. He made a point in the beginning that this was the seniors’ last concert ever, so it was going to be something to remember. They started off by performing a piece from Disney’s Moana. Making their way through popular soundtracks such as Jurassic World, but also not forgetting the classics. Although the different types of music took everyone through different emotions, the seniors
ended the orchestra performance by taking their teacher by surprise. They put together a video explaining all the reasons they loved their teacher, Pamela Thiel. “She’s a great person and a teacher. She made orchestra so enjoyable, I’m truly going to miss her. But, I can’t wait to visit next year,” senior Adam Murphy said. “We made memories this year and I had so much fun being able to be a part of this amazing group of people. I love every one of them and we are going to miss the seniors a lot next year,” junior Jayden Bolden said. Even though the concert season is over, the friendships made and the happiness that it brought to people’s lives remains.

Daniel Lee shares “The Power of WE” Everyday, extraordinary students do extraordinary things. Junior Danny Lee created his own opportunity to give a real Ted Talk. He participated in a subcontract of Ted Talks called Ted Talkx, a student-led program where Ted Talks are held in the school environment. Their motto, “ideas worth spreading,” was definitely embodied by Lee’s talk. Held at Maumee Valley Country Day, Lee’s speech “The Power of WE” created an inspirational moment where he spoke about his childhood with music. He expressed how music can form relationships with others in the community, and how orchestra created an environment where people were able to unify. Additionally, Lee’s speech consisted of friendships formed through music connections and to prove the notion that many types of music can be performed with the basis of classical music, Lee enlisted seniors Miranda Futrell, Karen Pan, and freshman Sam Kim. The quartet, consisting of Lee and Pan on violins, Futrell on the bass, and Kim on cello, performed Lee’s arrangement of Luis Fonsi’s Despacito. Not only did this excite the audience, but it also portrayed an important aspect of Lee’s speech. “It is not just about an individual’s ability to play a piece, but rather the Power in ME feeds The Power in WE,” Lee said.

This is to encourage more students to come out and create a team. Students who already paid the $15 could get a refund or some change back if they decide to play this afternoon with their team. The block party that also is taking place this afternoon, is an event put on by Student Council at the end of the school year to bring everyone together one last time. Student Council has blow up rentals for the event, tailgate games, and free food including
popcorn, ice cream, and hotdogs. The event is from 3-6pm and it’s free for students. “I hope everyone can come out and attend because it’s going to be a lot of fun and it’s a great way to end the school year,” senior STUCO President Grace Cappellini said. As for the Bubble Soccer, it’s a game of soccer while you are inside of an inflated torus which covers a players head and upper body. “I played Bubble Soccer the past two time STUCO put on the event, it’s a lot of fun for everyone that comes and a great way to raise money for the school,” junior Wisam Hasan said. There can be no more than five players on the field at once. The objective of the game is to score goals into a net. The recommended attire to wear are a t-shirt and shorts, as it gets hot running around in the bubbles as games are usually long.
