GEORGULES THE GREAT

By Richy Chen and Gigi de Fort-Menares

The Woodside Priory Class of 2016 entered high school thinking they were pretty decent at writing english papers. Then sophomore year came around and they encountered the sheer force that is Chris Georgules. To this day, every member of our class who has had the pleasure of being taught by him triple checks the MLA heading, page numbers, and indents. He is able to create this habit in “Nice and warm his students by bringing a unique type and fuzzy.” of rigor to his classes. Mr. Georgules holds himself to high standards, which is why he expects the same of his students. Although he pushes them, he has a way of connecting with his students and believing in them, so that they will keep on trying. According to Mrs. Briggs, “He keeps people honest. I think that his sarcasm and his dry wit is so appropriate to the age he teaches. We will miss him horribly in the English department. It will be as if a small piece of our soul has floated away. He is

instrumental to different aspects of developing writers in the program.” Mr. Georgules has a quiet sense of humor that endears him to everyone who has had him as a teacher. As Michael Fitzgerald (12) said, he resonates with our class “because Mr. Georgules is like a metaphor for our class, on the outside he’s a hard, challenging, competitive challenger, but once you get past the hard exterior there’s a gooey interior that’s all nice and warm and fuzzy.” Mr. Georgules, we will always remember every single time you have helped improve our lives. You put pressure on yourself to be the best teacher you can be for us. You "sacrificed" yourself by singing in front of the whole school with Mr. Siler. You scared those of us who saw your name on our schedules. But then you made us love you anyway. Thank you for your role in our education . We dedicate the Priory Yearbook of 2016 to you.

When asked if I would kiss a mini horse to help raise money. I didn't hesitate; I knew that sadly, this would be one of the least embarrassing experiences of my life outside the classroom, and that I'd make no more of an a** of myself kissing a horse than I do everyday inside the classroom. While a person may feel differently about the challenges of enticing a mini horse to kiss him, it was nothing compared to what I had to do to dupe my future wife into kissing me for the first time. Yet the reaction from both the horse and my wife was clearly the same: disappointment, However, for my wife, the disappointment was not only in the actual kiss, but that she, as an educated adult, made a conscious decision to put herself in that undesirable position; whereas the reluctant mini horse had no choice (Chris Georgules).

AUGUST APPEARANCES

By Richy Chen, Monica Mallon, Annie Boyle, and Maisy McWright

Take a walk around Priory, and listen to what the students say about the new, well, everything! The main change is Priory's new building for the high school. The thing about this new building “I'm just excited to of Priory classrooms, is that it two stories tall. says Olivia become a part of isTreynor (9) who has been at the community.” Priory since sixth grade. “The new building has a more concrete feel then the portables from last year. It makes Priory more of a home away from home. Stable and comfortable.” she continued. Fr. Martin loves to be able to interact with the students and see them having fun, and with all that walking around, he realized “The thing that I think is really great in addition to the new buildings themselves is that there is a lot more hang out space weather it is for the new teachers in the teachers lounge or for the

students in that square. That stage also allows a much easier way to present and control group activites." The new hangout space is also filled with many new students. While waiting to get her picture taken, new student Julia Sing (6) remarked, “I'm just excited to become a part of the community.” She will be part of a really tight knit group of over 300 students for possibly seven years. This sort of tight knit community allows new students to make friends easily. Julia Sing (6) also appreciated the Priory environment, “I love the nature, I think its nice that when you come out of class you can be surrounded by nature. Its kind of refreshing.” Unlike most other schools, Priory is situated on a beautiful property with trees, grass, and other aspects of nature. In fact, this is the reason many students chose Priory.

SEPTEMBER SPIRIT "It's

Spirit week is a much-cherished tradition at Priory, and the students make it even better with their unique additions. It has always been a highlight of many students times at Priory with a different theme and organization every year. Each day a different grade had choice to pick their color and theme. free food, and the This year the seniors picked blue and they're really called themselves the senior sailors, the were the juniors in black, good!" juniors followed by the spicy sophomores, the freshman nerds, and the Pink Panther middle school. This year the ASB worked to make the week even more student-oriented than before. President Brooks Royals (12) explained, “we tried to have each grade choose their theme rather than us choose for them.” After each grade had chosen their color and theme, the grade was responsible for decorating the school to match. Each day a different grade hung their posters,

decorations and colors throughout the school. Many of the students loved the break activities the grades had, Anna Barton (9) said” My favorite activity during break probably was during middle school because they had the donut eating competition and I thought it was super creative.” Friday wrapped up the week with a whole school celebration and early dismissal. Everyone headed down to the softball field to get their Amigos burritos; many students favorite part of Spirit week. As Jane Robertson (10) said, “the burritos are something I always look forward too because its free food and they're really good.” Once at the field there was a variety of fun activities that students could participate in including jousting, inflatables, and the classic tugof-war competition to bring the annual tradition to a close.

“Well, lets see. When I was really young, I wanted to be a monkey. Then, as I started to grow, my parents were teachers. So, I wanted to be a teacher. I would design lesson plans from an early age and make games for other people to play. Then, I started to really like art a lot, and wanted to be an art history teacher. And, I did it!” Ms. Thayer (PE)

HAPPY HOMECOMING

By Max Habeck

Snap. The football soars through the crisp air. It finds its way to a nest within the crook of a football players arm. He sprints down the field with exhilarating power. Its the Homecoming game. He keeps running with cheers and excitement propelling him forward until he reaches the end zone. The crowd goes wild. Despite the Panthers tough 18-6 loss at "Seeing some guy th homecoming game against Alma dance around with Heghts, they played hard and played and their spirit never faltered a pink flamingo." wel thoughout the rest of the festivities. Player Emerson Swan (10) said, “Although we lost the game, it was still fun playing with my team.” Homecoming this year was filled with all kinds of fun activities such as the carnival, which had classic carnival games and delicious snacks. The newest, most exciting attraction at this years carnival, was the mechanical surfboard where daredevils of all grades tried to stay on the board while it wildly waved all

around attempting to knock the riders off. Additionally, everyone received blue t-shirts reading “The Pack”, blue and black sunglasses, and blue and white flower necklaces to truly show their Panther Pride! And of course, the annual Homecoming dance cant be forgotten! This years exciting theme was Beach Party and it was truly apparent with beach balls flying around the Black Box, people dressed in floral patterns, and pink flamingos scattered across the lawn. Sergio Calderon (10) said "I had a great time with all my friends. The music was good too." and Rachel Goines (11) added that her favorite part of the dance was "seeing some guy dance around with a pink flamingo". Overall, this year's Homecoming festivities were a great kickoff to the school year ahead!

6 “Being a child! No. The hardest part about growing up is learning your limits, because learning your limits means that you failed. In order to test your actual limits you have to go to the point of failure. And failure is always difficult. Also just finding out what you can and cant do, and what you're good at and what you aren't good at, and how that translates to you as a person. “Why is that hard?” “Because learning that failure is a part of life is hard. And finding out that you aren't superhuman and cant do everything is hard" Jack Herrera (12). 5

ROCKY ROAD Driving may be a whole new experience that is exciting, nerve wracking or even scary to many high schoolers, but its also a task that a lot of students have o go through at some point in their lives. This summer, some Priory “I felt like I had a students took time out of their new sense of crazy busy schedules to get their independence” drivers license. One of the lucky ones to successfully acquire their drivers license this summer was junior Matthew Carusi. Carusi (11) said, “I got my license this past August and it was on the second attempt”. He continued, “The drivers test was nerve wracking but afterwards I felt like I had a new sense of independence”. Multiple attempts at the test was a common theme among Priory drivers. Another who finally got her license after much effort was senior Gigi de Fort-Menares. De FortMenares proudly shared, “I got my license three days ago!”. She continued, “It took me a very long time to get my license because I started working on driving sophomore year but then I went to France junior year so that kind of halted my road to driving. I failed the driving test twice before I finally passed on my third try. I was super nervous but when I passed I was ecstatic and today I drove for the first time by myself and I am pretty sure I was grinning like an idiot the whole time!” While driving brings more independence it also comes with more responsibilities. Senior Sam Saliba, said, “I used to take a carpool to school and now I drive my two siblings to school. Theres more freedom because I get to choose the time that I go home, instead of having to go home when a carpool is leaving.” Driving can also change the dynamics for the younger siblings who are often among the first

passengers for new drivers. Freshman Annie Boyle gave a big vote of confidence to her brother, Junior, Matt Boyle who is another new driver on the Priory campus saying, " he's a really good driver, which is good because there's a lot of bikers on the way to school and no bike lane, which can be pretty stressful. The first time I drove with him I was kinda scared because he went really fast, but he's gotten way better since then. " Going through the process of getting a drivers license is a rite of passage. It could take a few tries, but one thing that many student drivers guarantee for sure is that you'll get to experience a world you've never experienced before.

5 "My biggest inspiration is probably my brother because,, because he.. I see him try his hardest and achieve and it in spires me to work hard for my goals" Emma Jaeger (9)

DRIVE When she turned eighteen, Monica Mallon (12) announced her political campaign for Supervisor of District 5, which encapsulates large parts of Silicon Valley including Palo Alto, Cupertino, and Los Altos. During her campaign, many news reporters have come to Priory to interview both Monica and her friends. She said, “While being interviewed by a variety of reporters has been incredibly exciting, some of my favorite memories of my campaign so far have been the conversations that I have had with people of all ages about the political process and what they want to change about their communities.” Monica’s goal in this campaign is not to become supervisor, but to engage more young people in the political process. She said, “I hope to inspire young people and others who feel like they are not being represented to make their voices heard. I hope that people will realize how much power they truly have.” Sam Baumgarten (12) has started his own business outside of school, named Makrr. Makrr is a Palo Alto based software company that creates technology that can be easily integrated into industries rather than being forced on them. Founder Sam Baumgarten (12) said he “has always been interested in making things. I started making apps in 2008 and then when I was in 6th grade, I got my first internship. I went on from that internship and started my consulting firm Makrr. I was encouraged to keep doing what I was doing by all the coworkers I had. I’m hoping to develop a stronger theoretical CS background in college and then continue my work with robotics.” Candy Yin (12) has been interested in piano since she was four years old. Candy was not always interested in piano she said, “when I was little I thought it was boring because I had to practice a lot.” It was not until she began to master more difficult pieces that she found piano truly enjoyable. She says that she is able to, “really enjoy the music and feel proud of myself when I play the music in the way that I want.” She thanks her teachers for saying positive things about her music when she wanted to give up. Candy currently tutors a junior at Priory because she likes that she can, “review how to play by teaching others.” While Candy is unsure about whether she will play piano for her career, she knows that she will at least play as a hobby.

SIGNATURE STYLE The start of the school year always brings new trends, the question is, what is new this year? According to Adrian Lavalle (10) Jordans are what to look for. Adrian continues, “I like jerseys, like soccer jerseys, and high Nike socks.” Riley Cantwell (12) “I am definitely a agrees, “The high sock trend is pretty and I think colorful socks are great, trend setter, I was cool, but they're better with jeans than the first one to do shorts.” We should definitely be seeing Ombré” high socks on our Priory guys. Other students get their inspiration elsewhere, checking Instagram, Tumblr, and Facebook to find the newest style trends of the season. Kalonee Wiggins, (12), says “I get inspired by the famous style icons Zendaya and Nicki Minaj. They are both literal goals. I cant think of anyone else Id aspire to be as fashionable as”. When asked what trends she wants to bring back from last year, Rachael Miller (9) says, “Definitely high waisted jeans, converse, tucked in

By Emma Jaeger

shirts, and those hair bows, I dont have any but theyre cool. I am definitely a trend setter” she adds, “I was the first one to do Ombré.” Zeta Weiss (8) agrees, “I think hair bows are really cute and make an outfit work together, like a little something extra on the side!” Gloria Schnuderl (10) also considers herself a trend setter, “Adidas are definitely popular back home in Austria. I was surprised when I came here to Priory and I saw that no one even owned a pair. But now, people are starting to have the courage to start wearing them.” Style and trends are a huge part of how our generation defines themselves, they influence how we dress each morning and can set the pace for the school day. The start of the school year always brings new trends and sets the framework for the school year to follow.

RESTFUL RETREAT Retreats are an integral part of the Priory experience.They offer us a time to reflect, and connect with each other. “It’s important for classes to have retreats so they can step away from the academic school day and reflect on life as individuals and the “It gives us an Priory community as well as the greater says Theology teacher Ms. opportunity to see world.” Buccola. “It gives us an opportunity to outside of see outside of ourselves while listening ourselves.” to the inside of ourselves.” According to the students, one of the most enjoyable retreats to go on is the sophomore retreat at the New Brighton State Beach in Capitola. During the beginning of the year, in September, the sophomore class embarked on an overnight trip where they camped, hung out with friends, played on the beach and got to know one another a whole lot better. “It was a great experience getting to bond with

By Jack Smith

friends and teachers,” said sophomore Betty Chen. "It was also a great chance to relax by the beach without the stress of homework over our heads." However, not all retreats are about R&R. Over service week, the junior class went to the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco for their retreat, where they did service work with various organizations that benefit the poor and underprivileged residents of the city. Leading a retreat is also a very rewarding experience for all those who sign up to be a retreat leader. “I like that it gives me an opportunity to meet people and talk to new people who I normally wouldn’t talk to,” says sophomore and first-time retreat leader Anika Khakoo. “I’ve made friends in other grades because of it”. The retreats are an important and memorable experience at Priory that helps us to grow as students, leaders, and individuals.

LONG-DISTANCE LEARNING International students are a special group of people at Priory. They do not live with their parents; they are from different countries; and they speak languages other than English. Being away from home and living in a totally new environment present many new challenges. Vivian Chuang (9), a freshman “I am excited to from Taiwan, explains the differences study in another saying, “here at Priory, there are more at school and everyone seems country.” activities to enjoy their classes and has a positive attitude towards schoolwork.” International students have also found comfort in the environment that studying at Priory and the United States in general has given them. Cris Yuan describes, "for the first time I'm surrounded by supportive classmates instead of competitive classmates." Besides having international students on the Priory campus, there is also one international RF. One of our residential faculty members is from China. She

was an international student at Vanderbilt and Stanford. Cheng Cheng, the Chinese residential faculty, talks about how her experience as an international student helped her become the RF for the boarding students exclaiming, “I understand their struggles as international students. Even though they are teenagers, they need to overcome more difficulties than I did. I know how big of a challenge it is when you leave your home, or even the home country, to study at a boarding high school” she said. One of the struggles is making new friends and learning to fit into a new community. "I tried to talk to people I don't know from different grades at sports..I made a lot of friends," Chuang said. International students face more difficulties than our local students, but they broaden their horizons and approach different cultures at a young age.

ALLURE OF AMBASSADORS If you were wondering how Priory gathers new students each year, the answer is: student ambassadors. Every year Priory ambassadors, mostly Freshmen and sixth graders, volunteer to host shadow students and the ambassadors take them to their classes and show the school around. This year Priory students hosted nearly "I love introducing 400 shadow visitors. That is more than people to Priory " the entire Priory student body. Vivian Chuang, (9) who has hosted several shadow students, said “At first I was pretty nervous because you are representing the school, but after you slowly get to know your shadow better, you feel more comfortable and it is a really good chance to make friends.” Aside from the student ambassadors who are assigned shadows, Priory hosts two annual open houses in which countless students interested in Priory get the opportunity to see what the school is like. During

By Cici Cho

these open houses, Priory student ambassadors help out, once again volunteering their time on two different Saturdays. They usually lead group tours or help out at the check-in tables. Ms. Mauss, the Associate Director of Admissions, said, “Student ambassadors help make a connection between our kids and visitors. It makes a personal connection and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Most of the times it does. The kids visiting seem to have a good time as far as shadowing is concerned.” Student ambassadors are the first connection that many prospective students make with the Priory and are an important part of the Benedictine value of hospitality. “ I love introducing people to Priory and talking about my favorite experiences here. Also, since I worked at Bridge over the summer, it's fun to see my former students at the open house,” said Megan Buiocchi (12).

"My biggest inspiration, at the moment, is probably my mom.” “Why is she your biggest inspiration?” “She always motivates me and encourages me, and that motivates me to help encourage and inspire other people. “ “What’s the best piece of advice your mom has ever given you?” “I don’t know. She always tells me to never give up, but that’s pretty much what everyone says. " Jackie Lim (8)

CANDLE CEREMONY "Our

Founded by Hungarian monks, the Priory persists in instilling the Benedictine values in its students. Not only are there theology classes, according to Ms. Buccola, “All the curriculum is based on our mission and our tradition.” While many aspects of Priory is based on Benedictine tradition, Priory has also evolved its own traditions that are based on Benedictine values. For example, the Priory community, time together unlike most other school communities, is limited." goes through the candle ceremony annually. The candle ceremony has been a tradition for many years, and it is based on the Benedictine tradition. Ms. Buccola said, “Benedictines are very grounded in the fact that everyone in the community is important. So within a monastery, the monks can be very different. Whether they get along all day every day, they are still working together for the community. The candle ceremony helps with that because each individual is offered an opportunity to contribute their words of gratitude or praise for the class.” This helps everyone

By Richy Chen and Monica Mallon

within a class appreciate each other more, which then unifies the class even more. The purpose of the candle ceremony has definitely been achieved. For students who have been at Priory since 6th grade, they have been able to bond with their classmates more and more. John Gregory (12), who has been at Priory for seven years, said, “In 6th grade, the candle ceremony was kind of awkward, but it allowed us to be vulnerable, and that built more of a team spirit in the sense that everybody didn’t know what to do, so we were all saying a lot of ums and ahs. 8th grade it was a chance to say goodbye to a lot of people, because most of the class left. Freshman year, more people were open, and it was more of a get to know you event. Over the years, it has gotten a lot more sentimental, as we realized our time together is limited, so I’m guessing this year, the candle ceremony is going to be very long but very memorable.”

COMMUNITY IN CHAPEL “It

Chapel is all about community bonding. Students and faculty get the chance to share their personal experiences through chapel talks. These talks unify the community by spreading wisdom, and for those who aren't speaking, it is a chance to get to know their and experience a life that is definitely brings peers different from their own. “I like to hear us together as a students talk, and I think that a lot of the are really interesting and it's school,” speeches pretty entertaining to take a break from classes and hear what kids have to say about their personal lives,” said Duncan Croll (10). Tuesday chapel serves to break up the long day of classes and to share an experience. Miranda Prince (10) adds, “It definitely brings us together as a school; we hear about students' stories, and we get to know each other a lot better.” Anna Barton (9) agreed, “It brings us together!”

By Emma Jaeger

Participating in chapel is a way for students to reach out and share their stories with the community. “Speaking in Chapel helped me find friends within our community with similar interests who pushed me to think differently about my (domestic violence) advocacy in many positive ways,” said Nicholas Jaeger (12). They also allow students to learn about others lives and how they differ from their own. “I liked hearing about Gigi's experience and everything she had to say about France because it showed me how different it is compared to here.” said Sergio Calderon (10). Chapel is an opportunity for students to share pieces of their story with their community, and a chance for the community to learn from its members.

COLLEGE COUNSELING

By Monica Mallon and Richy Chen

In senior year, students start spending more and more time in the offices at the back of the student center. In those offices, Ms. Kowal, Mr. Crisostomo, and Ms. Koppett help Priory students present the best version of themselves to colleges around the world. In same area, the students get to "Picking out essay the connect with these colleges as Priory topics can be hosts many college representatives in college counseling lounge. However, difficult" the the college stress and work is not limited to those offices. Many students start studying for standardized exams early through tutoring centers or practice books. Christian Kruep (12) described his standardized testing classes as “very boring and very long. We had to spend about 2 hours every week.” Another important aspect of the college student for Priory students is the essay. They are undoubtedly important. Not only is there a major Common

Application essay, but there are also supplemental essays for many of the colleges. Mr. Crisostomo said, “So setting out a good amount of time to work on each of those supplements is very difficult for the students, and picking out the essay topics can be difficult.” While he helps out tremendously, students also get to make appointments with Ms. Koppett, who retired from teaching English but still makes time to help students with their essays. Anisha Reddy (12) said, "she helped me by giving me critical feedback which improved my writing." Every year, there are mistakes during the college application process. Mr. Crisostomo recalled one incident, “So he booked a ticket for visiting UIUC, and it was for the wrong date. So he missed the appointments and missed the interview and meetings. So basically he lost his tickets and interview.” Although these missteps happen, all students survive the college process.

SUSTAINABLE STYLE

The Sustainability club is one of the newest clubs at Priory, but it is already making a lasting impact. The club began last year with an idea Elise Rust (11) had when working in Arastradero with the organization Acterra and in the school garden with Mr. Clark. The goal was to bring more "without jeopardizing overall environmental ideas and change to Priory. our ability to do the Mr. Clark explained sustainability as "a of habits or behaviors of a system same thing pattern that can be pursued today without tomorrow" jeopardizing our ability to do the same thing tomorrow." The club works towards this idea, with the facilities managers, to make lasting impacts around campus. Elise Rust explained, “This year’s focus is how to deal with waste (recycling, trash, compost, etc.) and habitat restoration.” During lunch members from each club took turns standing by the trash/compost bins after lunch to educate kids where food and other things truly went instead of just throwing them in whatever bin was convenient. Not only did the club do that, but they also made

By Daniela Vivanco

displays of examples of different types of waste to help inform students in more detail about the environment. They are trying to bring more awareness to the impacts the kids have on school environment. As Yuju Shin (12) said “We make students aware of their ecological impacts.” The club is also trying to restore the habitat around the Priory community. They have been harvesting pumpkins as a fundraiser, working in the garden, and working at Arastradero. Besides the short term goal of the club, which is to bring more awareness regarding the environment, the club also had a bigger goal for the future as John Lee (12) says “Our long terms goal is to get animals on campus. For example, goats, chickens, and bees.” In order to make this happen, they must first create a healthy environment to house these animals. Hopefully, bringing more awareness to Priory's community members regarding the environment the school will be sustainable enough and a welcoming habitat for them.

"Both of my parents were teachers, my aunt was a teacher, my grandma worked in the school district so I was always kind of around education. But in college, I decided not to go that way, I decided to be a business major because I didn't want to be a teacher. But, in my second year of college, my next door neighbor asked me to start coaching a little sixth grade team and I had so much fun that it kind of became my passion and really since then, there hasn't been a year that I haven't coached. I was a coach for almost ten years before I started teaching." (Mr. Rieboff) 5

REFINING ROBOTS In the corner of campus nestled in the barn is the home to the Priory robotics team. A closed door to many, but for the team, robotics is just like a sport. Open the doors and you will probably find senior CoCaptain Kelsey Gosling busy working away, as “over the past two seasons [she] has spent over 500 hours in the robotics lab”. "robotics has been Each year a challenge is released from the most beneficial the FIRST Robotics Competition. Kelsey “ the challenge could be & educational explains, anything from throwing frisbees into activity" goals, to hanging inner-tubes on pegs, to stacking packing totes...The challenges are all competition based and teams then spend the next six weeks building a 120-pound robot to complete the challenge”. Build season is fast paced and time is a crunch as the team “starts picking apart the challenge and deciding upon [their] strategy. [They] then design, prototype, CAD, and build the robot (all by [themselves]).”

By Megan Love

The team is already in full swing as they go off to packed tournaments, competing against team from across the country. Kelsey describes the Central Valley Regional tournament as pure madness. “At the event, there are two main areas, the field, where the competition is actually happening, and the pits, where you take your robot when you’re not competing to make repairs or improvements (Gosling).”At the events, the team splits up the tasks: scouting, pit screws and the “Drive team”. Emily Kuo (10) adds that her favorite part of robotics is “seeing the robots of the other teams and how they used different designs to achieve the same goal”. But out of everything Kelsey says that at the end of the day, robotics “has been the most beneficial and educational activity of her entire high school career.” While freshman Matthew Crimele (9) likes robotics because “it involves lots of machining, learning and overall exploring.

START OF SOMETHING SPECIAL By Betty Chen

While the rest of the school was away on service week trips and retreats, the seniors hosted a Special Olympics event. On the auspicious Friday, children with special needs arrived in buses and headed to the gym for a day of fun and learning. According to Rebecca Whitman (12), “we [Seniors] "This would helped make sports and physical activity and fun to children who definitely be worth accessible otherwise might not have been able to continuing!" play basketball”. Not only was playing basketball fun for the children, Ms. Faisal also explained how “it’s a big deal to know that other people want to spend time with you even if they don’t have to”. The children got to experience being loved and treated with respect, thanks to the Seniors. However, the seniors also owe their gratitude to the children as they “learned that being able to walk on two feet and go to school everyday and to talk is just a gift and we [they] should really take care of our

privilege” said Michael Zhao (12). Moreover, they gained valuable experience with teaching; learning “what it means to teach a special ed. class, and techniques for doing so effectively” according to Rebecca Whitman which will help them infinitely in the future. The special Olympics was truly “a huge hit” said Ms. Faisal. Ms. Faisal said that this was because it “seemed very meaningful” to the special athletes and the Priory students, she can see this event “continuing forward. We may end up making so tweaks with certain facets of it but I see it continuing”. Some students agree with Ms. Faisal, saying “we should always continue it. It is very educational. Events like this can help people appreciate their status a bit more, and it’s really enjoyable to help people” said John Sheng (12), and “this would definitely be worth continuing! It was a really powerful and well-organized experience” added Rebecca Whitman (12).

"Oh um.. the saddest moment of my life as probably when I found out my aunt died." "When did that happen?" " that happened in... the night before the Fourth of July in 2013." "Why was it the saddest moment of your life?" "It was the saddest moment of my life because... she was.. I didn't understand how the world worked that God could take someone who was so nice like her." Aidan Chandra (9) 4

Soren Madsen (11) raises his placard to grab attention of his committee in order to speak about his country's perspective.

INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE By Richy Chen and Monica Mallon

Model UN is a four year old club at Priory and growing bigger and bigger. What attracts students to this academic club is the fun and competition of the Model United Nation conferences. These conferences allow students to practice their extemporaneous speaking skills while learning about international politics. Students can join at any time, and many people do not find out how fun the club is until their second, third or even fourth years. Andy Wang (11) joined "It’s really Model UN in his third year of high freaking fun." school and immediately found it fun. As a member of the British chamber during the Opium Wars between Great Britain and China, he said, “Stanford MUN was my first time participating in a formal conference, and I think although it was challenging, it was interesting as well. I heard that the Emperor of China got assassinated twice. Eventually, they surrendered to us, but at the same time, they assassinated all of us.” During the 2015 Stanford Model UN conference, Graham Hughes (12) achieved the highest honor by winning the Best Delegate award and receiving a gavel. Despite winning an award many can only hope for, he said, “Gavelling wasn’t that big of a deal to be honest. It felt really good; it felt like I was getting recognition, but that’s not why I do MUN. I do MUN because it’s really freaking fun.”

“Okay so the first place I would like to be right now is Washington, because Washington’s awesome. You know why Washington’s awesome? Washington is awesome because well…specifically Seattle…Seattle’s cool, I like Seattle. There’s saltwater right next to freshwater and that’s awesome!” “Why is that awesome?” “That’s awesome because I enjoy both saltwater and freshwater recreational activities. And another thing with Seattle is it’s two and a half hours away from awesome backpacking, water sports, skiing, and super awesome fishing. And I love fishing! And also a place where I would like to be right now is in British Columbia, the Chilko River. I love that place, and I’ve been there like 18 times. “Do these places bring back any special memories?” “Well yeah, I’ve been to B.C. like every year of my life, so it’s pretty significant. Because it was where I learned to fish, which is a big part of my BEING" Michael Fitzgerald (12).

DEDICATED TO DIVERSITY By Cecilia Cho

One of the clubs at Priory that a lot of students join and participate in is Dedicated to Diversity (D2D). D2D is a club that discusses issues concerning diversity, equality, equity, and involvement. Mr. LaValle, the faculty moderator of "Its the most D2D says, “D2D is special it is student led and it’s comfortable yet because driven by ideas of equity and intellectually social justice. It’s an action challenging" oriented group that does leadership conferences such as the Student Diversity Leadership Conference (SDLC) and plans school events”. SDLC is a multiracial, multicultural gathering of high school student leaders from across the U.S. It focuses on self-reflecting, forming allies, and building community. This year, 7 Priory students and 5 faculty members attended SDLC at Tampa, Florida and joined 1,600 other students that came to discuss diversity, which not only includes race but also gender, sexual

orientation, religion, socioeconomic status, family structure, etc. Co-president of D2D and second year SDLC attendee Mirthia Prince Figuereo (12) said, “I really enjoyed attending SDLC because I got to meet so many smart and interesting students from across the country who share many of the same interests as me”. She added, “Diversity is really important at Priory because it encourages students to listen to perspectives of students who come from different backgrounds. The more we are exposed to new ideas and new people at Priory, the more we can learn and become a better community.” John Sheng (12), third year attendee of SDLC, said, “It’s really intellectually stimulating. It is the most comfortable yet intellectually challenging experience I’ve ever had and that’s why I go back every year”.

"I was at a swim meet, in probably fourth grade, and my mom was working the meet. When she on her break, she got a phone call, and her aunt, who was supposed to have more time, had just died of cancer. My mom just started crying, and I didn't know what was happening yet. I hadn't even known my aunt was sick, and once I knew, I started crying because my mom was crying. It was super admirable for her to just go back to working, and watching these little kids swim absolutely terribly. It was one of my saddest memories, and one where I realized how strong my mom was and is." Annie Boyle (9)

CHRISTMAS CHEER Priory hosted its very first Winter Week. In order to bring holiday spirit to the school during one of the most tedious weeks in the school year, the week before finals. “I like how winter week distracted everyone from the fact that we have to study for our said Claudia Tamer (11). "Winter week has finals,” Throughout the week, students taken away some participating in things like: cookie wearing ugly christmas of the stress from decorating, sweaters and playing games like “pin the finals" nose on Rudolph” instead of stressing out students even further by constantly reminding them of all the tests and projects that they have to do next week. Creating a stressless atmosphere is very important at the Priory. These series of activities came to be because ASB wanted to move away from the stresses that come with finals and move towards spreading holiday cheer.

By Katy Oseguera

Students have been very fond of the way that this new tradition has been taking place. According to Manny Salas (11)“the spreading of Christmas cheer just makes anything sound a lot better than it actually is.” Not only has Christmas been emphasized during break, but also in the way that it is the first time that there are actual Christmas decorations around campus instead of just the ARC. “During break, the activities held really shift the attention away from studying and shifts it towards welcoming the holidays” says Anne McLaughlin (10). It is important that the students have some sort of get away, especially during the week before finals, where they are studying for the finals that are coming up and at the same time having to do all the school work that sometimes accumulates to an unspeakable amount.

“My biggest inspiration is my grandma because she has taught me so much about life She just has so much history behind her and it has really kept me through the tough times in life.” “Do you remember one of the most inspiring things she has ever said to you?” “I think when I came to Priory, I was really scared about being in a new environment. And she just told me that she knew that I could do it because I’m a good person.” “I have to take your picture now.” “Okay, well will you take a picture of me with my book?” “Sure" (Chinonso Elelleh 9).

Family Priory is the only place where you can be having a conversation with your Spanish teacher, who doubles as your coach, and may also happen to be your football teammate’s dad. What is it actually like for the families that are all here together for the majority of their time? Jeff Wise says that life at the Priory is “an easy way of life.” The Wise family has been at the Priory as a teacher, coach and on campus family for 14 years and in those 14 years Janie Wise says that “you really get to know the people in the town.” Athletic Trainer and teacher Korinn Myers is part of another family that lives and works at Priory. In fact Myers met her husband, Myles Sommerville, at Priory since he worked on campus as an RF and now they are raising their family on campus. Myers says that “living with the Priory community, forms a type of bond that you can’t get by working and living anywhere else.” Many families do live on campus, but there are some who alll come to priory for work and school. The Sargent family spends most of their time at Priory since Doug Sarget is the MS athletic director, a coach and teacher, his wife Kelly Sargent is the Director of Communications and both of their daughters Kiki and Sammie are students here. Kelly Sargent said, “being able to see aspects of my families life that most people are not privy to when they are at school/work” is a blessing in itself alone. As for giving each other space, Lisa Wood, MS science and math teacher, could speak for everyone when she says “though you do have a peculiar situation, privacy isn’t really an issue because we have different schedules. I see my kids when I have them in my class, and sometimes during break, but we do give each other plenty of space.” Michelle Riebhoff says that though that she doesn’t see her husband, Rick Riebhoff, around school as much as people may think, “to be able to come home and share the same stories and the collective memories we may share from people we have met at school. Plus knowing if I need to find him I know where he is makes a world of difference.” What about the kids? Well, Henry Wise (11) says that “in class there really isn’t a difference as to how he is compared to any other teacher. T might be some inside jokes that he might say, but other than that I think he treats me like any other student.” Many might think that it is strange to constantly have your parents with you at all times, but Sammie Sargent (10) says that it isn’t “too strange at all because it’s always been that way my entire life, and especially since I used to live on campus.” For Sammie and her sister Kiki Sargent (8) Priory is their “second home since my family is here.” At Priory, wherever you may be, whether in class, at sports practice, or in Benedictine square hanging out with friends, families are always around you. It’s the families of Priory that give Priory its strong sense of community.

EARNING EXPERIENCE While many students decide to spend their summer traveling or relaxing, others choose to intern at local companies to see for themselves what its like to be in a professional work environment.

had never seen before. Rheya Jain (11), is another student who has spent several of her summers interning. After her sophomore year she interned in the Technology Department at DPR Construction with the responsibility of, “ designing, testing and programming web pages”. Her internship sparked her interest in computer programing, which she may pursue in her future career. While Sam Baumgarten (12) works year round at “Adobe [as] a project manager and developer. [He] managed a $50k budget and outside contractors to build a multitouch, interactive collaboration wall”. The individual students that make up the Priory community span greatly in their interests, and regardless of the field they may intern in, it builds one's professional skills to look ahead to their future career.

DRESSED TO DINE Like Cinderella getting dressed up for the ball, dormers get a break from the routine of school to dress up, enjoy a fancy dinner and come together as a community for the Headmaster's Dinners. Its a more formal event and getting ready is as much fun as the dinner itself. “Sometimes for “Sometimes for Heads it gets extra crazy when the girls leaving because they are usually late heads it gets extra are because, of course. They're crazy” girls,” Alejandra Sanchez (12) said as she rushed down to one of her final Heads dinners. In the girls dorm, things tend to get pretty chaotic between five and six, as the girls rush home after practices, meetings and rehearsals to get ready for the big night. Some may say sharing isn't caring but not in the tight knit group of girls in the dorms this year. They share almost everything moving between rooms trying on outfits, shoes, and doing their hair. Heads Dinner is a great example of the close knit dorm

community and the many behind the scenes activities and events that many day students aren't even aware of. For new dorm student Keyshawn Ashford (10) his first Heads Dinner was another fun reminder of the community he has joined “I like being in the dorms because of events like this. We all just get to chill with the teachers and have fun” he said. At dinner, students sit next to teachers and their families as they exchange laughs and have dinner together. As if the special steak dinner wasn't enough of a draw, the games after dinner get everyone laughing. This year dormers submitted baby photos and everyone got to play “name that baby” as they tried to guess which of their friends was the cutest baby. Rebecca Suta (10) performed “People help the People” to end the night as the dormers went back to the day-to-day routine of studying and homework. This special tradition is one of many fun activities the dormers are a part of each year.

Most students at the Priory remember the wonderful tradition of Mr. Daniel’s Silent Ball and One Fish Two, Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. But, where did the tradition came from? Mr. Daniel explained, “I came up with the game Silent Ball when I had three hour long classes with my students. I used the game as a way to pass time and let the students have show some some fun, and get to know one another” talent!" The games have become somewhat of a Priory Tradition. Even if you ask a Priory graduate about the game, they can probably tell you multiple stories of the competitive rush of the “sport”. “Being sixth grader, playing the games was really fun because it showed everyones competitive side which was really funny. I have some really good memories from all the fun I had” John Gregory (12). Mr. Daniel saw the game as a great way to get the kids playing, working together, and using some competitive creativity. “Priory kids are really fun

spirited, so the Game of One Fish, Two Fish was perfect. Many years ago I saw naturalists playing a similar game. I changed the rules a bit and the game was perfect for the students” Mr. Daniel. Even though Mr. Daniel has been playing these games for about thirteen years, he is still challenged by the skill of the talented sixth grade when it comes to winning. “The silent ball tradition has helped me show my classmates that I am not just a girl who can’t throw a ball, I can show some talent!” Jessica Fathers (6). Believe it or not, but Mr. Daniel also works patterns into One Fish, Two Fish to try and teach the sixth graders patterns about what they were learning. “The fun and spirit of everybody brought our class together in a positive and fun way” Justine Biscay (8).The games have taught us all how to be competitive and how to use strategy. Sixth grader or Senior, the memory of Mr. Daniels games will forever help us grow as person.

MIDDLE OF THE MIDDLE

Seventh grade can be a hard year. This year’s group is making a name for themselves in the middle of the middle school, a difficult place to be. They are enthusiastic “Seventh Grade is very special to me because I love the enthusiasm they have”, said Mr. Trudelle. Being a student in seventh grade is a big step up from sixth grade. It’s a lot more difficult academically, but it isn’t as difficult as eighth grade. It’s the "right in the middle most awkward and difficult time to be in middle school, because you aren’t is the most beautiful a little sixth grader anymore, but you growing up time" aren’t one of the big eight graders. “In seventh grade, there’s people that are calling you oldsters, and there’s people that are calling you youngsters. You just don’t really fit in anywhere”, said Justin Corley (7). At the beginning of the year the class went to Pinnacles National Park for outdoor ed. and climbed many steep, rocky cliffs. They scaled tall, rocky cliffs attached to a rope held by people down on the ground. It can be scary to trust your life to nothing but a rope and the people holding on to it.

By Justine Biscay

“Outdoor ed. was so fun, the teachers were so supportive and awesome” Kiana Cablayan, (7). This posed a challenge for the seventh grade, but it was fun at the same time. They became closer for many reasons during the trip, one of which was because they were trusting their lives to their classmates will they rockclimbed. The trip is symbolic of the rest of the seventh grade year as the kids have to work together on newer, bigger challenges. The seventh grade teachers are very different than those in sixth grade; there’s more homework and higher expectations. However, the teachers do their best to make the classes as fun and supportive as possible. “Seventh Grade is special because sixth graders are younger, and eight graders are older, but right in the middle is the most beautiful growing-up time. They can do so much more than the sixth graders can do, and they love to learn, and they’re very positive and excited about learning. In eighth grade, I think the focus just changes so much, and it’s harder for kids. It’s a big step up”, said Ms. Stastny.

WORDS OF WISDOM By Emma Jaeger

The making of prayer flags marks the end of each middle schoolers career, but the real value is in the messages they are leaving behind. Each eighth grader chooses a message to print on their flag, and these flags hang in church square, serving as wisdom from the experienced eighth graders to the “I'd like it to seventh and sixth graders. Humanities inspire people in teacher and prayer flag leader, Mrs. emphasizes the importance of different classes" Bolsinger prayer flag making, sharing, “It is a way to recognize the eighth grade students leadership and spirituality.” When asked if he was excited to leave behind the flags for the rising 6th, 7th and 8th graders, Grant Whitman (8) replied “I am. I'd like it to inspire people in different classes to come, and also I hope to go to high school here so it would be nice as a reminder of my years in middle school” His classmate Ava Rust (8) added “It makes people remember us!”

The eighth grade with be leaving these flags in the middle school area as inspiration for the rest of the middle school and to leave a mark and to be remembered for their wisdom by the community they will be leaving behind. They serve as a creative touch to the middle school campus and allow each student to show his or her own individuality. Samson Axe (8) put the message “if it doesn't challenge you it wont make you better” on his flags, “(I put that on my flag) because if you don't challenge yourself then what is the point of doing it if you don't get any better.” Samson hoped to inspire the middle school community with this insight, he hoped to inspire his peers to challenge themselves to achieve.

“I would teach everyone in the world to forgive and forget. If everyone just forgave each other, and I know this sounds cliche, but there would be a lot less problems than there are right now. And yes, it might take awhile, but eventually, we wouldn't have problems like war and racial discrimination.” Tessa Geoly (9)

TIME FOR TWILIGHT Unlike most schools, Priory puts on more events for the middle school than the High school. Middle school dean, Ms. Ambler, puts on 6 events each year. For Ms. Ambler and the student leaders, each year is a struggle to find activities that interest both sixth and eighth graders. The first Twilight this year was a pool and gym night with a delicious, ice cream sundae "we get to see bar. Ice cream choices consisted of different faces from vanilla, chocolate mint, chocolate, and chip with a variety of other schools" chocolate toppings. At the bar kids were topping their sundaes with so many delicious things, Ava Rust (8) says, “chocolate is what makes a perfect Sundae,” while Michaela Maroney got more creative piling on all the toppings. Ice cream sundaes for a first twilight was a good call by Ms. Ambler, the kids loved it. After ice cream students played water polo, splashed around and then headed inside for open gym. The dances require little less planning. Snacks and

By Brenda Uribe

drinks are provided outside the black box for refreshments in between dances. Another good thing about that is always enjoyable is the chance to invite other schools and guests. Gabriela Sanchez (8) explained, “The dances are always fun because we get to see different faces from other schools we invite.” This year the students chose to invite Menlo as a sign of gratitude. Having been to quite a few Twilight events and dances already eighth graders always look forward to spending more time with friends. Elijah Roybal (8) and Samson Axe (8) joyfully shared, “We look forward to talking to our classmates outside of school and making new friends.” Ms. Ambler can always count on the kids to enjoy being together so the events don't always have to be super active. Middle school events are meant for the kids to have fun and enjoy a few more hours after school together before the weekend.

SAFETY IN SPORTS Korinn's Office. If you play Priory Sports, chances are you have spent a lot of time there. On any given day the office is packed with students and student trainers. "Once we see a student, they keep on coming. Its like they never leave" Korrin joked. Korinn Myers has been Priory’s athletic trainer since 2009. She and her new assistant "Once we see a Andrew Hasson, work together to keep student they keep student athletes safe and injury free by teaching them how to take care of their on coming. Its like bodies. Impact testing, strength training, and therapy is all provided by the trainers they never leave." physical to help the athletes stay healthy. " I get my ankles taped before every basketball game to prevent injuries. My coach and the trainers think it's a good idea" said Ila Lane (9). Every athlete playing a contact sport is mandated, by state law, to take the Impact test. The test includes a series of tests that help determine a baseline for brain activity. Or as Korinn says, “helps determine the severity of the concussion if there is any injury to the head.” Korinn uses the results from the test at the beginning of the season to evaluate student athletes who may suffer a concussion later in their season. Lauren Isackson (12) a student who has had numerous

concussions horse back riding complains complains because of the trainers, "Korinn makes me wear an ugly head guard every soccer game or she won't let me play at all." Strength training is provided by Sofia and every team is required to go in order to prevent injuries. If an injury does occur Korrin and Sofia work together to create a strength training program to rebuild strength and avoid recurrences of injuries. One of the busiest seasons for the trainers is Winter which includes soccer and basketball seasons for both boys and girls. As games occur almost every day, injuries are bound to happen, and its part of the Trainers job to attend every home game “to make sure that injuries are assessed quickly and properly so the right call is made for when the player can get back to playing” Andrew firmly stated. Korinn explains that beyond the physical, they work to, “mentally prepare kids get back into the game.” With a trainer at every game, each athlete is able to get the best quality care since the trainers know exactly what to do and how to treat them when needs arise.

"The best advice my parents have ever given me was to be punctual." "Why was that important?" "So that I'm never late." - Joshua Galloway (9)

Using newer, more neurologically sensitive forms of exercise beyond simple weightlifting and calisthenics, the athletes are better able to achieve their goals. The future of Priory sports is bright, especially where the fitness and health of the athletes is concerned.

“My proudest moment was getting in to Priory. “Why?” “Because, I was one of three people to get in…in six years. The last time someone from my school got in to Priory was six years before I applied. “And what was your reaction when you go accepted to Priory?” “I think I screamed, “No freaking way!”, and I asked my uncle if he like stole the rejection letter and then wrote a fake letter, so I wouldn’t cry as much. So, I don’t know, it was a lot of no freaking way and denial. “But you did get in!” “Yes that’s why I’m still here” (Micah Aguila 12).

SPORTS SEMINAR

The 4th National Honor Society of Sports Medicine (NHSSM) at Oracle Arena was definitely a day filled with stress and high demands for Korinn Myers, but the day ended with great results. This was the 4th year the NHSSM seminar was organized by Korinn with over 400 students in attendance from all over northern California. And this year one special guest attended as well, "Getting to meet an the President of NHSSM and the man chose Myers to host the seminar athletic trainer that on in the north, was coming to check from the Raiders" out her progress. Korinn shared her thoughts, saying “I was nervous this year knowing that the president would be there to see what I've done but also kind of excited because we had such high numbers of students attending and he was able to see how much it has grown” This year five ladies with an interest in the sports medicine field, Lauren Isackson (12), Hana Marsheck (12), Sammie Sargent (10), Brenda Uribe (11) and Tatiana Reese (10) went with Myers to represent Priory. Lauren Isackson (12) worked alongside Korinn as a part of her senior project

to get everything ready for the big day. While checking in all the schools Reese noticed, “It was crazy to see how many kids came out, like there was even a school from Tahoe,” as she worked with Sammie Sargent (10), and Brenda Uribe (11) at the table. From ten in the morning to four in the afternoon, students learned hands on skills related to injury and rehab within sports medicine. There were thirteen stations led by college volunteers. The most popular station was the free throw station where students got to show off their shooting skills on the Warriors court. Tatiana Reese (10) shot some threes and caught everyone's attention. After the kids went through each station, they were taken across the arena to the A’s stadium where three keynote speakers spoke about nutrition. Although all the kids were tired by the end of the seminar they still managed to find some extra energy for the Warriors game that night. Hana Marsheck (12) shared, “Best part of the presentation was getting to meet an athletic trainer from the Raiders.”

DEDICATION Being an athlete at Priory is hard enough: it involves rigorous practices, difficult workouts, and a huge time commitment. However, a few students have gone above and beyond and chosen to play THREE sports over the entire year. “I really like playing three sports” says sophomore Miranda Prince, who has juggled running Cross Country, Track, and playing Basketball. “It’s helped me to stay active all year round”. A large part and a benefit of being a three sport athlete is the community and friendships that form as a result of playing three sports. “The people are very interesting,” says freshman Andrew Sirenko, who plays Soccer, and runs cross country and track. “It’s awesome to meet all sorts of new personalities”. “I like playing on a team sport,” adds Miranda again. “Playing basketball, I get to meet a ton of people from Priory”. As a three sport athlete one can expect to always be on their toes. There are plenty of practices, and sometimes you have to sacrifice class time for games. “When I played soccer, I had to miss math class every day, and that was difficult,” elaborated sophomore Devin Schinski, who plays soccer, and runs track and cross country. “However, it was still fun”. Doing outside sports can also be a challenge for your three-sport career at priory. “I did Martial Arts for many years,” said Devin. It really impacted my schedule, but I learned to manage my schedule well by working ahead as much as possible”. Mr. Stogner, The Priory athletic director, advocates and encourages playing three sports as well. “Every sport offers something different, and I think in youth sports today, there’s too much specialization. Kids are only playing one sport and joining their school team and their club team for it, and they’re not playing other sports and getting exposure to more than one sport. Because of this, I think it’s important to play three sports”. Being a three sport athlete is a difficult yet rewarding task. While the challenge may be daunting to many, what you get out of it is certainly amazing.

STRIKING WITH SPEED Due to the graduation of the senior players last year, an influx of new and talented underclassman has defined this football season. Practices are teeming with potential and coaches look forward to watching this team improve. Coaches and players knew this year would pose new challenges and they were committed "we know that we to making the changes needed. the season, our lack of can never give up." "Throughout experience on defense was countered with an adjustment to a quick strike offensive attack in order to keep up with opponents on the scoreboard." Coach Doug Sargent explained. Captain Michael Zhao (12) speaks on this new team, saying, “As the captain of the team, I think we know that we can never give up. We are a unique and talented group of young players with a lot of heart and dedication. We play fast, we play smart, and sometimes, we play play physical”.

they are, “We are a team that really knows the rules well. We know we all have a specific job to do.” Coach Sargent spends countless hours scouting opponents to help prepare his team each week. Priory football may not be the biggest team, but they worked hard and made adjustments each week. "A big goal this year was to gain experience and prepare physically for future seasons" said Coach Sargent. Returning player, Henry Wise explained their focus on the connection and hard work, saying that, “this year it is more about the team's bond than our placement, and being proud of how far we made it." The football team's spirit and commitment is admirable, and it is shown by their strong teamwork and dedication to each other.

TENNIS TALES

By Betty Chen

“You could meet your future spouse!” This is what captain of the Priory girls' tennis team, Kylie Harrison (12), would tell anyone debating whether or not to join the team. Along with other members of the team, she claims that a superior reason for playing tennis, whether in school or not, is because it's a lifetime sport. Emily Kuo (10) recently started playing tennis “many of [her] friends play "You could meet because the sport,” but has gradually come your future to love it for what it is, going as far spouse!" as to “want to come alone and practice”. Jenny Chen, the new assistant coach, agrees with both points by saying “it's (tennis) a great lifetime sport. You can play it when you're younger, and when you're older. It's a great family sport”. She couldn't be closer to the truth as Kylie shares how her entire family met through the sport. She relays how “[her] grandpa came from Ireland and taught [her] grandmother tennis at a tennis club, and got married. [Her] mom played tennis and ran a tennis club. [Her] dad and her had their first date playing tennis. [She] grew up learning tennis.” Furthermore, “it's a great way to keep up with your exercise and health” (Jenny Chen) over a long period of time too. Emily (10) explains how “tennis has grown to be so fun that [she doesn't] realize [she's] exercising at all!” Thus, all the members would encourage people to join the team simply because of how fun it is, and how long you can continue playing the sport. You never know, you might meet someone special!

MENTAL MATCHES

By Jack Smith

The support of teammates is critical to the confidence and success of any team. This has been a defining strength of the boys tennis team. “Everyone has really good sportsmanship,” says Sophomore Henry Herz. “Even if a teammate makes a mistake, we always say, ‘it’s okay, get back into it, you’re good!’. We do our best to keep each other up, even when "I like tennis we’re not doing well.” This positive is a big part of what draws because it's a attitude players to the courts even during the mental game. It's busy demands of the end of the 1 not just physical; school year. But it’s not just about the you have to teamwork. Playing tennis requires a recognize and lot of concentration, discipline, and of the game. It helps calculate your knowledge develop skills that help the athletes opponent" on the courts, in the classroom and throughout life. “I like tennis because it’s a mental game,” says Johnathan Xu (10). “It’s not just physical; you have to recognize and calculate where your opponent is running in order to know where the ball is going to end up.” To improve their skills, the team has practices five days a week for the entire spring sports season, with games interspersed in between. Many on the team credit their coach, Celso, with making tennis fun while also providing effective ways to make them better at it greatly. “With Celso’s help and his creative games and games practice after practice after practice, we program the skills into our systems and get better at it as we go,” says Michael Fitzgerald (12).

DIGGING DEEP

The Priory's volleyball teams started out with a great number of eager girls, ready to dominate Priory volleyball. The big turnout in the beginning of the season lead to the “Keep it up, up, up, development of the Freshman, JV, on three. and Varsity teams this year. With the of the Varsity captains, One, two, three, leadership Sammie Sargent (10) (a.k.a. keep it up, up , up!" Superman), Nadia Faisal (11), and Daniela Vivanco (11), Priory's Varsity team played hard and had some wins and losses, and some pretty great rallies in between. The newly developed Freshman team definitely made its mark on Priory and our opponents. Their spirit really shined through until the end of the season. The JV team had a great year, and the improvement from last season was tremendous. The hard work and dedication really payed off this year, and game after game was won for the JV team. Varsity team

captain, Sammie Sargent (10), says that she is, "super excited for the many seniors and the more experience we'll have to be able to go farther," for the next season. With coaches, Rick Riebhoff, Amanda McFadden, and Lauren Ding, all three teams are sure to be even better for the following seasons. Their inspiration and passion led the girls to a great year. As one of the only two freshman on the Varisty team, Anna Barton (9), says that, "playing volleyball this year was so much fun." She is looking forward to playing with some of her old teammates next year, and hopefully being really good. This year's crowd turnout was phenomenal, and definitely played a big role in the spirit and energy of the teams, leading to great rallies, and a lot of chanting. Hopefully next year, Priory's Freshman, JV, and Varsity teams will win even more games and dominate the volleyball world. And the only way to do that, is to keep it up, up, up!

“I would live in New York because there's a lot of different types of people there. If I lived in New York, I would get exposed to a lot more people than I do just sort of in the bubble here in California. A lot of these people share the same opinions as me. The difference between here and New York and why I would want to live there is because there's a greater diversity of people. This can help me better understand the world we live in, because I dont share the same opinion as everyone. And if I can understand everyones opinion than I can understand why people do the things they do, and why the things that happen, happen" Eugene Miller (11).

FAST FEET

By Jack Smith

Endurance. Strength. Competition. These are a few words that come to mind when thinking of cross country. However, members of the high school cross country team want you to know that there is so much more to cross country than just sport: it also involves encouragement, teamwork, and togetherness. “I love the team because "They really push everyone is so friendly” says Emma us to do our best!" Lewer (10), a runner in her first year of cross country, “Everyones so supportive”. Fellow runner Margaret Heron (11) agrees: “I think all of my teammates are awesome. Some of them are so fast though, I don't even believe they're human!” However, it isn't just the community aspect of cross country that attracts so many students. Varsity runner Joshua Gutow (12) says that his favorite part of cross country is just “being in the outdoors, racing, and (obviously) running”. However, he also says that his teammates are “good runners and hard workers”. Without a doubt, the cross country team has improved tremendously this year. "I feel like I've

improved a lot since the beginning of the season," says Annie Boyle (9), a runner who just made the difficult transition from middle school to high school cross country. "They really push us to do our best!" The Boys team finished 4th at league finals to qualify for CCS Championships with Robert Screven (12) leading the way finishing 2nd l in the WBAL. The boys finished 4th at CCS, one spot away from qualifying for the State Championships. The Girls Cross Country team had a fantastic race at League Finals to finish in 1st place for the first time in school history. Hana Marsheck (12) led the way in 2nd overall. The team finished 2nd place at CCS in a heartbreaker. They tied for first with Crystal Springs Uplands and lost the tiebreaker. However, the team qualified for the State Championships for the 3rd year in a row, and Hana took 1st place, giving Priory it's first CCS individual champion since Kat Gregory in 2011.

“My biggest weakness is accepting the criticism that people tell me, in order to learn from it and improve, because sometimes I'm close minded and think that whatever they're saying they're just trying to criticize me personally. I need to take the information less personally, and use it to improve. I shouldn't take it and try to prove them wrong.” “Why do you think this is your biggest weakness?” “I don't know, sometimes, I'm just kind of stubborn when it comes to these kind of things.” “How do you overcome this weakness?” “I just try to be more accepting of the advice that people give me. I need to try to take things less personally. I tell myself that they aren't out to get me they're just trying to help" Delphine Tan (9).

TRADITION OF TEAMWORK By Justin Wood

Priory Water Polo was dominant in the pool, with three seniors on the team, nine returning players and four new to the sport. This mix of experience and new talent helped meld the team together as well as continuing a strong foundation for future teams. The more experienced players were “If you don't have quick to support the ones learning and everyone, you have to help them learn to function as one "We have to communicate a lot in no one.” unit. our games, and in order to communicate well we have to have very good chemistry with our team" Isaac Roybal (10) said. Water Polo requires a tough mix of cardiovascular stamina, physical strength and quick thinking. But one value is most important to success. Teamwork. Offense depends on teamwork with the two players clearing to leave an open center for the set to gain possession and drive towards the goal. "You can't function as a team if you have one man out. It's up to everyone, and if you

don't have everyone, you have no one" Christian Fotre (11) said. Everyone in the pool has an equal role to play, and no one players contributes more to victories more than any other person. Scoring drives depend on strong swimmers to create opportunities and move the ball through the pool. "Our whole team needs to have a good sense of teamwork and communication. Without teamwork you won't know who you are going to pass the ball to, how the play is going to work, you won't know anything." Morgan Serughetti (10) said. Being aware of what's going on is key in this game, and without teamwork or communication the water polo team this year wouldn't have done as well as they did going 8 and 4 for the season.

BUILDING BLOCKS People see a team play and they do not see all the hard work that goes into playing. The boys soccer team this year is especially working on building the teams stamina. Armando Gonzalez Zaragoza (10) says that “the team is good, but we need to work hard this year so that next year we can enjoy ourselves more.” Most of the team members this year are looking to the more "You can see that experienced players such as Sergio with every practice, Lopez (12), Sergio Calderon (10), we grow stronger" Joseph Calderon (10), Derek Abarca (10) and Armando Gonzalez Zaragoza (10) for help and guidance as to how to pour their hearts into the game of soccer. Derek Abarca says “before we can focus on the skill of our team, we need to teach the less experienced players how the game works and how to love the game.” The team is building a sense of togetherness and sportsmanship by dressing up for

every home game. By doing this, they are establishing themselves as a team and building confidence for the seasons to come. Armando Gonzalez Zaragoza (10) says "every practice we work towards being the team that I know everyone wants to be." All the work that is being put in by the experienced as well as the new players is the same. Everyone on the team has the same vision for what they want the team to be. Sergio Lopez (12), who happens to be team captain says that "we motivate ourselves and others to work and play at a level that I know and they know we can play. I believe that with enough practice and enough playing time we can be the team that we practice to be." The team's dedication to the game shows promise for what the next seasons will look like for Priory soccer.

GIRLS AND THEIR GOALS By Katy Oseguera

New girls and new scores same team. The strength building of the girls soccer team has definitely paid off this season. Anyone can see the improvement that the team has made by looking at their stats. To think that the team went from losing every game to having the stats turn to winning four "Do everything games, losing four games and tying one. Brenda Uribe (11) says that “the with happiness" Captain team dynamic is different. When we go to practice, I can actually feel that I am not the only one who wants to be there.” The girls from this year are different in that the coaches as well as the returning players had to work with a lot of new players. 40% of the team were freshman. Stephanie Sanchez (9) says “I think that we had to work less on teaching the game to the team because we all already knew how to play when we joined the team.” What do the girls think made the difference in the way that they play? Vivian Chuang (9) says “we all have

really good chemistry on the field. When we play we really do it for each other.” The togetherness of the team has never been this strong. Captain Hana Marsheck (12) who has played on the Priory girl’s soccer team says “this year’s group of girls is different in that they actually bond over the love of playing soccer. The girls don’t just love playing, but they love to win. I wish I could see the way that these girls will grow in terms of skill.” The team shows lots of promise because of all of the young talent that makes up the team. Charlotte Brandin (9) says "team manages to keep its spirits up even when we lose. We see losing as an opportunity to grow as a team."

"This is gonna sound a bit weird but once I ate a whole candle. Don't ask why I did that. Just know that I did" Charile Brandin (9th)

BUSTLING BALLERS A team in development, the girls varsity team has overcome hardship, worked through loss and inherited new members, building a cohesive, lively team on the rise. This year the team is off to a strong start and freshman Gabby Ruiz (9) adds that, “as a "The team has team the season has been a great Our team has definitely grown experience! progressed since we first started practicing fundamentally" together. I'm a freshman so this is my first year on the team and on varsity. I've been playing basketball for seven years now so it’s normal for me to just play the game. What I love most about the game is how intense and fast it is. This team has grown fundamentally and we have definitely got to know one another.” Composed of twelve solid athletes, the team has a great deal of talent and camaraderie, that is setting their sights high for the next couple years as a team. The girls basketball team has reemerged as a standout squad matching up to their

greatest opponents in the league. Coach Matthew notes that “The team dynamic is good. Being that we have 8 freshman 3 sophomores and 1 junior they all get along very well and it is a family like atmosphere. Compared to last year, I believe the girls are much closer being that we only have 1 student who lives on campus versus having more than half of last years team.” This is his second year coaching the team and he can already see that the team has “taken a step up in terms of having more experienced and committed players”. Another freshman, standout out Ila Lane (9) notes that “as a team we struggled in pre-season but as we continued to play, we built chemistry and it was like all of a sudden we were ready to compete. Our team dynamic is goofy yet competitive, we feed off of each other's energy and encourage each other constantly”. A team of growth, growing together and improving from every appearance they make on the court.

"If I could give everyone in the world one piece of advice, it would be that everything works itself out in the end. Even if you go through some hard times, just try to stay with it and if you're resilient enough, it seems like these problems will soon vanish.

BALLER BROS

By Max Habeck

It’s the fourth quarter. The gym lights are beaming down. Your palms are sweaty, your knees are weak, your arms are heavy. You’re nervous, but on the surface you look calm and ready...to play ball. The basketball bounces off the backboard and lands right your hands. This is your shot. You “It's that balance in sprint down the court in a fast break; no that really makes one can stop you. You charge to the and throw the ball up. Swish. The our team great.” hoop boys basketball season came down to several last minute shots and some huge wins. According to Mr. Stogner, they "finished in fifth place in the WBAL with a 7-7 regular season record. They finished 11-8 overall and earned a #3 seed in the CCS playoffs”. Priory defended their CCS title and became DV Champions once again in a game against Eastside Prep where they defeated them 54-35 with the power of a great team and Panther Pride behind them. The playoff run was a great follow up, but by no

means a sure thing after last season. Coach David Moseley said "The hardest challenge was creating team chemistry and the biggest surprise was meshing all the talent together at the right time to win a Championship." The whole team showed off their balling skills when Senior Scotty Harris scored 18 points, Emmanuel Ajanaku-Makun (10) got 13 points, and Nico Arslaner (11) and Zach Weiss (11) coming in with 8 and 6 respectively. Ayo Aderoboye (10) and Ajanaku-Makun (10), a dynamic duo, had an onfleek rebound game with both getting a total of 19 rebounds. "This season was pretty great. We have an awesome team that always brings their best to the game. We are supportive of each other, but also make sure to work together to improve each other's skills along the way. It's that balance that really makes our team great" said Nicholas Barber (10).

6 "My dream I guess is to be... to have a career, and have a family nd two kids. " "Why?" "Because.. I don't know I just.. one day I want to have a family and I always thought two kids was the right number so..." Matt Galloway, 12

Whilst stretching, everyone jokes around with one another and shares laughs. 4. The Track and field team is very heterogenius in the sense that it streches across all high school grade levels. Rising stars, Elliot Dauber (9) and Kenneth Ackers (9) are neck and neck. 5. While other track and field members run, discus throwers perfect their technique. Mathew Patzer focuses while practicing.

MILES OF MEMORIES While most people know that track involves running, they don't know that it also includes throwing and jumping and is a team sport. Track and field is a diverse sport, with over ten different events. There are distance events, sprints and field events which include “I really like the throwing, long jump and more. When why he liked throwing, Matt team environment asked George, (9) shared “(I like throwing) and practices are cause, like, the ball goes far.” super fun.” However, doing track and field is about more than just the sport itself, it’s about challenges, overcoming failure, character development and the team environment. Freshman Brianna Maroney has experienced both of these things, “I do the 400 meter, I really like the team environment and practices are super fun and challenging.” Coach Burzio emphasizes the team environment as well, “I try to make track fun and competitive but not all about winning. To me, having your team be first and your individual goals second is the only way to have a winning program. Coaching is not about the coach, but

about the team and each individual on that team making a positive contribution to the goal.” Erik Larson (10) has done track for two years, “I love how track develops self confidence, and a certain swag. Track challenges me in order to be self confident and trust myself rather than rely on a team.” Said Erik, “It’s one of the more mentally challenging sports I’ve played, and I think that alone has pushed me to become a better student athlete as a whole.” Track pushes students to develop self confidence, character and responsibility, as well as being a super fun sport as well as teaches teamwork. “The team environment is definitely close knit. Even though the distance runners and sprinters are split up, on the distance team most people are from cross country so we have those same friendships. being able to run every day and be surrounded by friends doing the thing I love gives me a great support system.” said Elise Rust (10).

PERFECT PITCH

By Cecilia Cho

The Priory high school baseball team has exciting news this year. After three years without playing a full season, they have entered the league and have been playing official league games. They even had their first win! Kevin Liu (11) said, “Priory baseball is in that we are a bunch "We play amazing of people not necessarily the because we love biggest nor the most talented. play because we love baseball and We baseball and because we want because we want to have some fun. And we play to have some fun. as hard as we can, which is allows us to get back into And we play as what the league this year”.

Kanin Bunajinda (12) said, “Priory baseball gives beginners opportunities to try playing baseball, even if they barely know the rules. I think our baseball team is very supportive of each other and especially the new athletes”. The team has been carried by these dedicated players who showed up to practice and scrimmage when they weren't even a team. Their enthusiasm brought new talent into the sport. Derek Abarca (10) excitingly said, “I learned how to pitch for the first time in my life. It’s really fun but it’s kind of hard at times. It’s a lot of pressure being a pitcher. But I like pitching and when I think it’s for the team, I feel good about myself”.

"Porbably... when we... both times we won CCS. That felt really good." "Why?" "Cuz well, first time, first time was the first time in school history. Second time was kinda... or year do it, we didn't know if we could do it again. Yeah." Zach Weiss, 11

Isaac Roybal (10) says that “compared to last our team has grown double in size. “The pool brought year, We went from 10 people to around 20.” us together. Maybe These people connect with each other in they all experience the same that's because that physical exhaustion without even having water is polar. ” to run. Lena Bhagat (10) says that “there is a lot of commitment to the team physically. Sometimes I don’t know how much we actually swim, but I imagine that it feels the same way as running a marathon would feel like.” Swimming is a sport that requires a lot more physical activity and movement that is almost incomparable to the things you have to do in other sports.

What is it about these group of people that make them want to come back to practice even after having to endure harsh physical activity? Carolyn Akers (12) says “I’ve been doing this for so long I feel like I swim more than I actually walk. You almost feel like you’re flying. Except, you’re not. And you could drown if you try to breathe.” The lack of oxygen and the excess amount of chlorine are worth it because, according to Isaac Roybal (10) “the more we practice together, the more we’ve gotten closer. I remember that at the beginning of the season everyone was kind of segregated, but it doesn't feel that way as much anymore.” As you can see, the lack of air and the unfashionable caps are all worth it because as you step out of the pool, you come out with a new appreciation for air.

FLAG FOOTBALL Is tackle football better than flag football in middle school? Why only play half the game? For Priory Middle School football the answers came "It's a little more down to player safety. While flag doesn't teach the players how skill based and football to tackle and requires different strategy speed based" on offense, it develops players while protecting them from injury and concussion. “I like flag football because in tackle football there is a greater chance in getting hurt. You don't actually have to tackle in flag football” , said Remi Fu (6). This is the main reason why middle schoolers don't play tackle football -head injures are a big problem. Coach Moseley agreed that flag football is a great compromise to keep younger and smaller kids safe. “Flag football in the middle school is appropriate because its a little more skill based and speed based and it allows kids to work on the skills of football,” he said.

By Maya Blevins

Flag football is also a great way for interested athletes to learn the sport before having deciding to play in high school. Charlie Gainey (8) explained “I'm thinking about it, but my main concern is that there is a bigger risk in concussions, and it is more violent than what we are playing now.” Coach Moseley emphasized the skills learned as preparation for tackle football in high school, saying “They learn the rules, they learn how to catch, they learn how to run.”While the game definitely has difference when played without tackling Priory athletes welcome the experience to learn the game. “I really enjoyed my coach this year, he was really funny and let us try all the positions” , said Christian Castelo (8). Playing tackle football doesn't take away from the experience of having fun. The bottom line, tackle football is more dangerous than flag football; however, flag football can be just as fun!

Battling at Bat

By Katy Oseguera

Middle school softball is more than just a game, its an opportunity. This year in particular player, Carla Tamer (8) says that this season is going to be exciting because “this year we have a different pitcher.” She also says that the fact that the new pitcher has “changed the team dynamic in a good way.” Having a new pitcher means that the team has to “The team's work together a lot more. dynamic has Gabriela Sanchez (8) says that changed a lot this his year softball is different year, I think now we because they “play in B league” which means that the team are more motivated plays “in a lower league.” The team does not seem to see to be better as a that as a setback. Carla Tamer whole” (8) says that “it makes the team want to work harder to go back on top.” The teams major mentality this season is that they can only get better. The team likes to focus on the good things about the team, For example, both Carla Tamer (8) and Gaby Sanchez (8) can agree that the best part of practice is when they “get to play actual games against each other.” Carla Tamer (8) says that “playing against other girls on the team makes [them] want to play harder” because they know that they are capable of playing well enough to help each other grow as athletes. Most of the girls on the team can agree that their favorite part of games is the batting. And even when asked what the hardest part of practice was, the team mutually agreed that it was also batting, this has a lot to say about what kind of team the middle school softball girls are. They are a group that has been bonded through the game of softball and have formed unbreakable friendships.

Ben adds, " My favorite part of baseball besides when we win, is practice with the team, because we are more than a team!" At the end of the day a good team goes beyond the field, and consists of friendship.

BETTER BASKETBALL

By Tatiana Reese

MS Boys Basketball was loaded with talent and passion. The athletes were required to participate in a one week tryout to see who would excel for certain teams, Coach Buck described tryouts as, “tough decisions for all of us coaches, it was hard for us to these young athletes.” There "I got better all evaluate were over 30 middle school around..staying boysparticipating in basketball this focused" year. The boys were split into four teams based off their skill and expertise. The teams range from the VA team with the most experienced players to VB for those working on developing more advanced skills and the grade level teams for kids who mostly play for fun and to learn the game. "We are teaching the game, but we still run both man and zone offense and defenses. They have skills.” said Mr. Turner, coach of 6th grade team. The focus of the Priory MS sports program isn’t just to win, but to teach the players necessary life skills needed by an athlete. Priory’s coaches intended to be

more strict, and focused on individuals participation within practices, in other words commitment. Will El Fishawy (7) on the VB team realized his mistake with goofing around, and exclaimed, “I have learned that if you don't fool around and play around in practice, I can make the top team and maybe even the top team. Also improving my attitude positively would have a great affect on my playing time, and what team I play on”. This year Priory coaches focused on teaching their players the importance of sportsmanship. 8th grader Robert Barbagelata agreed that the program lets all the boys improve and get playing time. “I got better all around, shooting, passing, working hard, staying focused in practice,” he said. His team also focused on the most critical skills of learning to play as a unit instead of individual players, “We’ve been able to work a lot on harder on teamwork. We learned how to play more as team,” said Barbagelata.

“I would teach everyone in the world to basically be yourself!” “Why do you think everyone should know that?” “You don’t have to be what other people are. You don’t have to follow society’s rules, rather do what you want to do, be who you want to be.” “Who taught you that?” “I don’t know…like my dog? I mean like she teachers herself to do what she wants. She doesn’t follow our rules and our orders of society. Like, we tell dogs that you have to sit here. But, she doesn’t follow the rules and she is herself. She is herself, so that’s a good role model.” Nicholas Tan (11).

EXCITED ENTHUSIASM

By Tatiana Reese

The Priory Middle School girls' basketball program has depth of talent. This depth is a great problem to have Coach Buck explained by saying, “having many young talented girls come out for basketball this year, was hard, we had to closely evaluate the girls and their to see which kids would make the " I am ready and talent top team.” This valuable experience in prepared for high learning the game and competing at levels is contributing to the school basketball" higher success of the high school program as the girls move through Priory athletics. “I am ready for high school basketball, I’ve had fun playing middle school basketball, but I feel I am ready and prepared for high school basketball” said Dominique Robson (8). The MS sports program has 4 seasons instead of the HS 3 so this also allows kids to try out more sports to keep them active, let them try new things and to build a strong athletic foundation for their high school

and and club athletic careers. “The best part of coaching is the enthusiasm of the kids. They want to do well and get better,” said coach Todd Turner. Within a matter of a week or two kids that have never tried a sport before are playing their first games. Athletes learn quickly and learn through experience. The MS sports also have the challenge of quick seasons and short practice windows, but the coaches are able to make the most of the time to introduce new athletes to the game, build skills and help returning players fine-tune their skills. “We have fewer practices and less time for each practice at the Middle School level. I have to really focus on just a few skills in each practice,” said coach Rick Riebhoff. 8th grader Gaby Sanchez gave an example of this saying, “My favorite drill is knockout because it works on running, competing and shooting”.

SHE SCORES

By Maya Blevins

The inexperience of girls new to the game brings a different experience to the Middle School girls soccer teams. The MS Varsity team has a group of club soccer players that have played for over five years blended with athletes who have never played. From 6th grade to 8th grade, there are players who are trying soccer for the first time. Varsity "Some of my best coach Damian Cohen took great friends have been pride in watching new athletes risks to try something new. playing soccer since take "My proudest moment was they were two or watching Ada Fathers play in her first organized soccer game. I three, and they this beyond satisfying always raved about found because she played really well, she listens, she adjusts, and it, now I can see seeing the first of something in why.” anyone's life is pretty cool to think about. " Cohen said. The energy these players have brought to the team has been priceless. They are focused, enthusiastic and are giving 100% at every game and practice. The enthusiasm of the new players has helped energize those more experienced players as well. Ada Fathers (8), one of the girls playing soccer for the first time described her introduction to the game saying “It is such a energetic sport with positivity and teamwork. It is really fun and you don’t need to have great skills to play, as long as you work hard.” In typical, welcoming Priory fashion, all of the players loved having a new player on their team and went out of their way to be supportive and helpful. “I love how it gives a chance for people to learn the sport I love.” Kayla Marsheck (7) said. Fathers agreed that it was a great season, saying “It was a very fun experience. Some of my best friends have been playing soccer since they were two or three, and they always raved about it, now I can see why.”

WORKING WELL

By Maya Blevins

The Middle School boys soccer teams have had a lot of fun getting to play together. One thing about the teams this year is that on both teams there are new and old players. For the 6th graders it is their first time playing middle school boys soccer. For the 8th graders this is the last time "Once you mae the playing soccer in middle school before they move up to playing team, it doesn't high school. "Once you make the matter what grade team it doesn't matter what grade your'e in. You just there to work you're in. You are hard," said coach Myles just there to work Sommerivlle. hard." Even though the VA team has a majority of players who have played club soccer, there are different grade levels playing together. The coaches do a great job at developing the new players while also making the old players better. “Our biggest strength is the teams ability to have fun,” said Mike Loftis, VB coach. The boys on the teams have also appreciated the chance to play with their friends as well as others they haven't competed with before. A goo team doesn't care about grade, but focuses on learning to work together. " If someone is good enough then they should be put on the A team. I think that if they are good then they deserve to be on the A team and I don't care what grade they are in," said Mark Hughes (8).

"The best moment of my life was....when I got that hairline. No, I'm playing. When I got into Priory. Because out of the schools I applied to, Priory was one of my first choices, no, my first choice." (Jaeden Barker 9)

TIME FOR TENNIS "it's a

Tennis is a unique sport that offers a team experience and the chance for solo success. It also is a sport that anyone can play at any age. Many middle school students are trying tennis out for the first time this year after watching friends and family members the game for years. “I hadn’t had a sport you can enjoy lot of experience with tennis before, but play forever" I wanted to try it,” said Jennifer Carlsmith (6). She isn’t the only one new to the game. 8th grader Jake Gainey decided to give the new sport a try this spring too “I decided to do tennis because I wanted to do something different, I had done waterpolo in the past and decided to try something new” he said. Tennis is an easy sport to pick up and play casually since it doesn’t require much equipment, courts can be found at parks around any neighborhood and on only need one other person to be able to play. “I

enjoy that I can just go out and play. You only need one other person, not a bunch of people to be able to play” said Emily Stanger (7). This ability to go out and play without needing a huge group also appealed to Matthew Covington. “It’s the only sport I’m really good at and I can play on my own. I don’t play doubles,” Covington (8) said. Even though tennis matches are played in singles or doubles kids also get to be a part of a team bigger than themselves. Each match is worth points so the whole team works together to defeat another team. Beyond being a game that is easy to learn and easy to go out and play anywhere, tennis is also a lifetime activity for many people as well as a way to meet someone new. “It’s great for exercise and its cool to hang out with new people” Gainey said. And beyond being a school sport, “it’s a sport you can play forever. Its just really fun,” explained Emily Stanger.

PUSHING PAST PAIN “I hate running” declared Ada Fathers (8). This is probably the most repeated phrase in Middle School Cross Country. Its ironic, but sometimes true. Despite a “hate” for running they still strive to do the best they can push themselves to do things that they didn't know could do. 22 middle school “When you run as a they runners all pushed themselves this team,you get season during 4 meets racing for miles Bay Area. through the pain " around the All runners have little ticks up their sleeves, like when to start sprinting and the pace that is needed for te race.

Even in the beginning of the season, the energy and the spirit on the team was unlike any before. More people were willing to push themselves, which lead to

surprises by people who had never run before like Thomas Kelly (6), and Kendall Castelo (6) who surprised everyone with there speed and control in races. “ We have many motivated individuals who are willing to always push themselves, and are creating friendly competition within the team” said P.E. teacher and coach Ms. Thornberry. This year a strength was team work and pushing each other. After countless miles and workouts, they all knew how to work together and support each other. “When you run as a team, and get through the pain together, everything is worth it” said Maya Blevins (8). At the end of the day, it doesn't matter about how fast or slow you ran, how many times you say I cant, but how many times you pushed yourself to find that unexpected surprise that are in all runners have, and the memories you make out of the surprise you find within your team.

PRIORY PRIDE

By Tatiana Reese

For some kids school sports are the first introduction to new sports and for also a source of pride when students are able to compete for their school. With a high interest in water sports, Priory MS has added boys’ Water Polo and competes in several meets in order to develop the "then I joined a club swim program. The kids are able to practice team because I swimming during the PE swim units, of them swim on their own liked it so much." many outside of school and Ms. Wood takes the interested kids to compete in meets against other local school teams. “Swimming has increased my strength and agility,” said Romila Gargeshwari (6) who swam for Priory this fall.The water sports allow students a different way to participate in Priory athletics, and for many athletes, prepare for club teams as well. “Priory swimming is preparation for club Water Polo and it lets me stay active and in shape,” said Justin Wood (8). Water Polo is a quickly growing sport in the Bay Area as well as at Priory and many on the MS water

polo team are playing for the first time. “ I learned how to play last year, and then I joined a club team because I liked it so much,” said Mark Hughes (8). “Now its fun to teach kids who have never really played.”The swim team and water polo team are coached by Cornelius O’Leary who is called Con by his team. His swimmers all say that his words of wisdom and tough love motivate swimmers to keep pushing whether its through dry land strength training on a hot day or pool laps in the pouring rain. “I push my little athletes hard. I want them to be ready for high school water polo and swimming in the upcoming years.” Coach Con said. Eight grader, Justine Biscay, loves that even though Priory doesn’t have regular swim team practices she is still able to compete in a sport she loves for her school. “I swim year round and its my favorite sport. We don’t really have a team, but we have meets. I like to swim for the school and its fun because its low pressure.”

"My dream is to go the Olympics!" "For what?" "Eventing! Horse back riding!" "Why?" "Because I like to horseback ride!" Rachael Miller (9)

SIDELINE SUPPORT “I

Establishing strong relationships at a young age is so much easier when you’re on the Middle School Girl’s volleyball team. Since the very beginning of the season, the girls have been supporting each other positively. Carla Tamer (8) says “I think that I’ve made a of good friends on the volleyball team feel the love and lot in the past, but now that I am an eighth support from grader I feel like it’s up to me to help the girls feel like they are actually a everyone on the younger part of the team.” team” The secret to having a good team is letting your team members know that they can only get better and improve their skills with everyone else. During their tryouts the girls were able to help each other out when it came to building skill and confidence on the court. Ally Sinclair (8) says “my friends make being on the team so much more fun.”

By Brenda Uribe & Katy Oseguera

It is a known fact that friends make everything a better experience, but making friends while building experiences are the best kinds of friends. What does building relationships have to do with having a good team? Good question and Annabelle North (8) says “the closer the team gets, the more we want to play not just for ourselves, but for each other. I’ve noticed that we always play better when we get along.” The bonds that are made on the court continue on outside of just the gym. Carla Tamer (8) says “playing volleyball gives me an opportunity to get closer to the girls that aren’t in my grade and I look forward to being friends with them after the season ends.” As long as the girls keep their head in the game and their hearts with each other it only makes sense that the team will continue to strive.

LEARNING WITH LABS

By Emma Jager

The Priory science department is tasked with making learning science interesting, exciting and interactive, and according to their students, theirs is a job well done. Ninth grader Annie Boyle (9) can attest, “(Science) wasn’t my favorite, but then I came here, the teachers here are so cool, they "when students and just kinda made it more interesting and have fun they learn more fun for me!” of the ways that Physics more" One teacher Mr. Trudelle makes science interesting is by giving his students what he calls commercials. These are short breaks during the class period where he shows students something related to what they will be leaning, but in the form of an experiment or video clip. “they're fun, and when students have fun they learn more, and look forward to class more. And I suppose you’ve figured out by this time, the commercials are sneak peeks of what we're going to be studying later most of the time. So it’s a sneaky way that I get to do exactly what I would get to

do anyway,” said Mr. Trudelle. Labs are another big way that let students get involved. The tenth graders recently participated in a lab on cell structure. “We got to use microscopes, so we got a closer view of cells,” shared Sergio (10). Labs not only help students to discover things for themselves, but are also memorable learning experiences. Kiki Sargent (8) said, “Mrs. Wood does a lot of labs. My favorite was when we took bacteria from objects around school to see how much bacteria there was. Every single thing had bacteria!” The ninth grade explored physics through the bottle rocket lab. "(The rocket lab) was a lot of work, but It was so fun to launch them, they went really high!" commented Rachael Miller (9). Luckily for our students, science classes are made interesting one commercial and one lab at a time.

“So it was last night and I was alone. I think my dad was in the back or in his room. And, I needed to go to school even though it was like bright, it looked like midday. I had to go to school. And, I turned around and I was about to leave through the door. And, suddenly I saw the stove…you know how the stove is like basically a bunch of bunsen burners? I kept on seeing that the light, like the flames were igniting. And, I rush to it and I was like, “Shoot shoot,” I turned them all off to the off position. But every time I turned them, they kept on igniting. And, I was extremely frustrated. I yelled for my dad, “Come on dad these bunsen burners will not stop turning on, and I have to go to school!” And so he came and supervised the stupid stove while I rushed off to school. That was my last dream.” - Greer Hoffmann (11)

MAKING MATH MEMORABLE By Jack Smith

Like many other things at Priory this year, the math department has undergone a large transformation. There are new teachers, new projects, and even new curriculum in some of the classes that are being introduced. And so far, the transition has fantastically. " people who are been going "My first year is going really telling a lie blink well here” says new geometry and AP teacher Mr. Lee. “The more." calculus community has been really welcoming, and here I’ve been able to try new things in terms of my assignments. Many new projects have been introduced in the geometry department this year, and the students seem to really be enjoying them. One such of these projects was called the daisy line design project, which allowed geometry students to expand their creativity by designing, drawing, and decorating a daisy using only a compass, a pencil, and

a piece of paper. By far, this has been one of the most liked projects by the students. Senior Gigi de Fort-Menares excited described an AP statistics project using other Priory students as the test group. "We did a lying test where we asked people to tell us one story that was a lie and one that was the truth and counted how many times they blinked. We were testing to see if on average people who are telling a lie blink more." "In all of our classes, there's much more student centered instruction happening," says department head Ms. Faisal. "We're having more lively discussions, and the classes are becoming much more interesting for the students." With all of these changes to the math program, many of the math teachers are learning from their students. "I think it's great that I'm getting to hear more about how students see math" said Mr. Lee.

“I want to do special effects for Lucasfilm” “Really, why?” “Lucasfilm made Star Wars” “Okay so what’s your opinion on the new Star Wars movie that’s coming out?” “I hope it’s good” “How did you feel when Disney bought Lucasfilm?” “Sad.” “Why?” “Because Disney is probably going to ruin it. They already made a horrible tv show. Rebels” “I’ve never heard of that.” “I’m glad.” “So finally why do you want to do special effects?” “Because that’s what Lucas Films is famous for" (Jack Herz 7).

DEVELOPING DESIGNERS By Gracie Hamren

The digital world and new possibilities are always vastly expanding, so the classes and education of technology must keep up. The current computer science classes include materials "Computer from Digital world all the way CAD & 3D printing for science can be through product design I, II, Mobile applicable and Computing I, II, APCS, and helpful to my Multimedia Productions. The skills taught are “21 century skills life" being that students can apply to other aspects of their life whether it be used in other disciplines or as a career,”explained teacher and Computer Science department chair, Christine Hemiup. Computer Science has quickly expanded beyond coding and programing into 3D printing and other creations. "Technology is becoming so advanced that it is possible to print out your own gun. It scares me because of the danger of what can come with

technology," said Tara Kariat (9). While on the other hand Joseph Casente (9) was excited that he could make just about anything from a computer, and was glad to use one of the school printers to print many projects. “ My favorite project has to be the wearable project that you designed for you class partner, and they could wear the bracelet or key chain that you made them.” Joseph explained. Ms. Hemiup explained her goals for the students this year saying she wants the students to, “Be comfortable with the design thinking process, be a risk taker and become an inventor.” Naturally, being and inventor was Rachel Goine’s (11) favorite part, “Either the chocolate or the metal project we made was the most interesting. Doing hands on work was fun for me and let me use my creativity to design my project . It made me think that computer science can be applicable and helpful to my life.”

TINKR This school year introduced many new facilities for the Priory community. One of which is the Tinkr Labs. This is a creative hub for Priory. There are two labs, one for the Middle School and one for the Upper School. They are large workshops filled with tools, work spaces, white boards, machines and endless materials.These spaces allow teachers and students new space to work, design and create with a new focus on creativity, resilience and collaboration. The students were all itching through out the beginning of the school year to experiences this never before seen lab. Nadia Faisal (11) has been a part in creating the Tinkr Lab, and so far has ben grateful and thoroughly enjoyed using it to create. Nadia states, " The Tinkr Lab is my baby. I think it adds a whole new level of possibility to our school," as she worked on her Adolecence Experience project for Psychology. Teachers in all subjects from Theology and English to Math and Science are designing new projects that wouldn't have been possible without the Tinkr Labs. Over in the middle school Tinkr Lab they are busy working on a variety of projects. One of the multiple projects they have done is called the solar house project for Mrs. Wood's Class. While talking to a few that were in the midst of working on their project, they explain how many things they could use use to create their house that they wouldn't have even thought to use in the first place. " I am glad that we have the Tinkr Lab to use. It is very helpful that there is a place for us to build with the material that we need."said John Byrne (7). Mrs. Wood explained the differences between solar house projects in the past and this year. She explained that there is now class time to work on the project. She also doesn't have to worry about kids forgetting to bring materials to class for building. Priory life has been improved by adding these middle school and upper school labs. Ms. Bolsinger's 8th grade English class worked to build artifacts based on the novel "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and sweet letting the students create a visual representation to go with a letter about the item they wrote. "The Tinkr Lab makes it much easier to give the students space to create," Bolsinger said.

EMPATHY IN ENGLISH

By Megan Love

For english at the Priory, upperclassmen get the freedom to pick elective courses catered to their interests. This year Ms. Payne is new to the school is teaching both elective and foundational courses. She describes her goal in teaching is for all her students to “fall in love with reading and writing and discover the talent and voices [they] truly have and "Great books are grow them with an increasing feeling of and joy.” what teach confidence This year after reading A Handmaid’s empathy" Tale, students spent the day simulating the life for a handmaid as “the chosen” people. Kenny Park (12) recalls about the American Women course remarking, “ I love how we dive deep into the morals and ethics of gender equality. The Handmaid’s Tale experiment altered my perspective of the book and made me think twice about the freedoms we have in society.” Ms. Payne is one example of how english class extends to outside the classroom. Claudia Tamer (11) agreed that “the project was a great extension off of class discussion”. Kenny Park (12) Ms.

Payne continues to say, "great books are what teach empathy by letting the reader travel in a stranger’s shoes, so to bring a piece of text into the room and try to inhabit it in some way, get out of the way of ourselves, that’s when the best things happen". adds that last year he took Literature of Witnesses taught by Ms. Gonzales where they “explored what it meant to be a bystander or witness”. Tarik Shihaheh (11) continued to say that they are reading Heart of Darkness, “ are studying modernism and art through literature”. While for others with an accelerated passion for literature, advanced placement english literature with Ms. Yang offers a comprehensive course filled with seminar style discussions and in class writing assignments. Regardless the course one decides to take, after spending two years in foundational courses, electives give students the chance to build upon their writing while simultaneously diving deep into an engaging topic area.

HOLISTIC HISTORY Beyond structured lectures, and the traditional classroom setting, history can be taught and applied to everyday life in new and more innovative ways. Above all, teachers develop curriculums for the applications made in the classroom to carry out to everyday life. Alejandra Sanchez (12) chose to go "Experiences like beyond and take AP Government “I have an interest in these help solidify because International Relations and Political what you learn" Science. I loves how I can connect what I'm am learning this year with real life situations that are starting to affect everyone now in the 2016 Election.” Tarik Shededih’s (11) ambition to take AP Gov started years ago when he “was inspired by American Democracy with Mr. Cohen so much so that I wanted to go into a political career path. As you could imagine, the class material is competitive. But that's one of the things I like most. AP Gov is not an easy class. It is in many ways a linguistic class. It is without a doubt the most relevant info that you'll need to know in life.” The

By Megan Love

relevance of classes is what holds student interest during the year. Alejandra concludes that “projects and trips like these allow for individuals to apply what they learn in the classroom and add their own interpretation to things. In class we might learn about what certain regulations for campaigning are, and when we were on our trip we were able to judge for ourselves and question the strategies for financing the campaigns. Experiences like these help solidify what you lean in the class room.” Similar experiences are developed sophomore year when Mr. Neale in his World History class runs a yearly class simulation of the Congress of Vienna. Anne McLaughlin explained that the project really showed what it was like being a ruler. The project consisted of simulating the Congress of Vienna by each representing a country. She continues that “Mr. Neale uses projects to allow us to collaborate more with each other and express our opinions.”

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE By Candy Yan

The World Languages department is an important part of Priory. It consists of four languages, Spanish, French, Mandarin, and Japanese. The department teaches not only languages but also culture. Students in French classes talk about their experience of learning French "The teacher talks at Priory. Olivia Treynor (9) says, “I feel about what actual like I am in France! I like that the teacher about the culture so much. It is not life in France is talks what you experience in normal language like" classes.” Tara Kariat (9) agreed sharing, “I like that the teacher talks about what actual life in France is like, as opposed to just doing verb conjugations, even though we do that too.” The cultural studies bring the languages alive for the students creating interest and curiosity. In Spanish classes, students celebrate many Hispanic traditions, including Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Students wore costumes, brought photos

of their dead relatives, read dedications, and prepared food to share with the school. Spanish teacher Mr. Mejía –Torres says, “One of the main goals of the celebration of the Day of the Dead is to teach students to integrate language and culture. It is important for students to understand the culture to learn the language.” Mandarin classes often host field trips to Chinese markets, Chinese restaurants and the Asian Art Museum to help students delve into the Chinese culture. Through these field trips, students gain a direct perspective of the Chinese culture and gain a better comprehension of the language. Japanese classes invited Japanese guests to talk about the Japanese culture and hosted Sushi party. Through those lessons and activities students of the World Language department get a comprehensive understanding of the languages they are studying while having a really good time.

Furthermore, Theology is not just reading and welcoming" definitely discussion. There are also awesome projects that further the understanding of the concepts discussed in class. For example, in Ms. Saddler’s freshmen theology class, the freshmen were supposed to “create something that wouldn’t last” that would also connect to different aspects of religion in their textbooks. So, students designed and created Mandalas all over campus out of gathered materials from different locations. They did this project after learning about Fr. Junipero Serra and the gathering materials aspect was to “show solidarity with the

natives”. Joshua Galloway (9) said that the project was "interesting and fun. I learned about the material dimension of religion". Additionally, Ms. Saddler offered insight into future projects such as “interviewing elders and discovering their sense of spirituality” and eventually creating a sustainable prayer wall somewhere on campus. A popular project that Dr. Owens and Mr. Dubose do with their sophomore classes is church visitations, in which students visit different churches around the Bay Area that are outside their usual faith tradition and reflect on the experience. When asked about his church visit, Michael Gunn (10) said, “The church was really inviting and welcoming. They really respected everybody’s opinion”. By attending different church services students are given a real-world immersive experience and introduction to different and perhaps challenging ideas.

“Okay, so when I was seven my community pool held this event and one of the activities was we had to guess how many jellybeans were in like a jar. I guess like 300 and something, and I got the closest guess. And, I was really proud of myself. And, I got the whole jar of jellybeans. And they delivered it to my door with a bow and everything. And it was very exciting.” “Did you guess the exact number or just the closest?” “I think it was just the closest…but still I was proud” Avery Singson (12).

"The best advice was to turn my avocations into vocations. He was saying that when, I think I was in middle school, and everybody was kind of freaking out about 'Oh I don't know what path I'm going on in my life' or 'I don't know if I want to be a business man or a chemical engineer or whatever'. And he was trying to tell me to just follow my passions and just do what I want to do. Just turn your passions, or your avocations, into a life long job." Brooks Royals (12)

CHOIR AND COMMUNITY By Cecilia Cho

Because Priory has so many talented singers, choir is a big part of the school. Priory has a total of three different choirs: The Middle school choir, Concert Choir, and Chamber Singers. Each choir performs four times a year and the seats are always filled with supportive friends and family. "My friends are Ms. Paulson, the Department Head really one of the of Performing Arts, proudly talked about choirs and said, “They have an biggest reasons I the awesome sense of a community within joined. a community. These singers care about each other a lot and they’re really dedicated to one another-- not just the music and the program-- they give their best to one another. Also, most other choirs ‘step back’ when they’re in front of an audience, but Priory Choirs never have. They really ‘go for it,’ when it’s concert time.” This sense of commitment and dedication critical for the success of the choir as they all have to work gether to perfect a piece, put in the time for rehearsals, and be ready for the before-dawn

rehearsal times. A middle school choir singer Zeta Weiss said, “I like choir because I love to sing with my friends. My friends are really one the the biggest reasons I joined”. Junior Regina Sebestyén, A Concert Choir singer, agreed, saying “I love going to choir because I just love singing with other Priory students and performing for concerts. I can really feel the sense of community in Priory choir. Also, Ms. Paulson is so cool!” Junior Chamber Singer Gianna Morales echoed Ms. Paulson's comment about the benefit of a community within a community explaining, “I like how Chamber is a smaller group of people. Because of this, we are able to get to know everyone. If I am feeling down or stressed, during chamber, that usually all goes away because singing with friends just makes everything better”. Choir has always been the start to many friendships for the Priory community and it seems like it will continue to build friendships.

"ummm... I don't know... I think I'm, like, creative." "What's the hardest thing about being creative?" "When, like, there are all different types of creativity so like sometimes when I tell people I think I'm creative they expect me to do something that I can't... I don't know..." Phoebe Grout, 9

SOUND STAGE

By Candy Yin

Priory's performing arts department contains vocal music, instrumental music, and drama. For vocal music, there is Middle School Choir for middle schoolers, Concert Choir for high school students, and audition-required Chamber Singers for advanced high school vocalists. There are String Ensemble for string players and Wind Symphony for wind, brass, and “I enjoy performing percussion players. on stage in front of Every year, four concerts are held the Music Department to introduce a lot of people!” by students to live performances and being on stage. One of the most challenging pieces during the winter concert, Concert Choir, String Ensemble, and Wind Symphony went on the stage at the same time to present a religious chorus and orchestra piece called Magnificat and received great applause. During performances students increase their confidence and gain experience from preforming in front of an audience. Drama class is another beloved Performing Art class.

For many international students this is their first experience with drama, speaking and acting classes. The Priory drama classes are designed to give the beginning actor and advanced students every conceivable tool they might need in acting. Students can learn improvisation skills, rehearse and perform scripted monologues and scenes, do playwriting projects, and learn stage combat in this class. With the skills and foundations in the introductory classes, students choose to further their love of drama in Drama 2 class. Drama 2 gives students ability to conduct and perform their own play“Drama class can build social and communication skills overall. Through reading and memorizing the scripts, students can learn more formal language. Also, involvement in drama courses and performance can improve students’ confidence in their academic abilities" said drama teacher John Sugden.

TIME AND TALENT

By Betty Chen

53 Students wake up as early as 5:00am in order to attend instrumental music rehearsal. Differing from previous years, Priory currently has two ensembles, Wind Symphony and String "I can save a lot of Ensemble. Gianna Morales (11) was time to practice my excited with the return of String “I’m glad that she instrument." Ensemble reinstated it this year, and I’m really enjoying the group of people we have.” Ms. McFadden, director of the instrumental music department explained the change saying that “I decided to reinstate String Ensemble this year because putting it in the school day last year didn’t work, and so I wanted to have a place for them back outside the school day this year, although it’s not without sacrifice to do so.” When asked to elaborate on the consequences, Ms. McFadden states that “we don’t have a beginning band this year.” The reason for all these complications in the music program is because of lack of rehearsal time in the mornings and afternoon. Priory students are busy with music, sports, clubs, classes their social lives, and

family. The same pressures that Ms. McFadden had to juggle to find time for all the bands to rehearse, i also felt by students to find time to practice among their other responsibilities. Candy Yin (12) explains that in order to find time to practice “I don’t play too much with my phone so I can save a lot of time to practice my instrument.” Many students don’t have the self-discipline to restrict their use of technology in order to work on something, but the music students are all extremely motivated. Whether it be “the raging spitfire that is my parents,” Søren Madsen, (11) or, more commonly, the fact that “I love playing music on my sax” Kenny Akers, (9), the music students find the motivation to wake up early, drag themselves to school, and play music for one hour each morning. It is truly a mix between the joy of creating music in the supportive environment and the stress of finding time to perfect an art.

"Especially in our generation, there's a lot of pressure to fit in. But at the end of the day, you are going to get, ogive yourself, anxiety from that. You're not going to be happy. So, I really think you should just be yourself. It's kind of cliche, but you'll be able to find friends that love and support you. And in the end, just be a lot happier because you're not fitting in to a box that everyone else likes, but you'll be picking out you're box. And trust me, it'll be hecka cute!" Grace Peek (9)

SWASHBUCKLING SMASH By Max Habeck

This year, Priory went on an exhilarating swashbuckling adventure with the All-School play, Treasure Island! The cast leaped into a pirate ship of excitement and creativity in order to tackle Robert Louis Stevenson’s age-old classic. For eight great weeks, the cast and crew worked their hardest to build wonderful, deep “Searching for the characters and grand, intricate sets and pirates' booty.” despite all of this hard work, they all still had great fun. The cast and crew definitely had some very enjoyable moments like Kalonee Wiggins (12) who said that her favorite part of the show was “searching for the pirates’ booty” and Ryan Calbert (11), who said that he really enjoyed, “rockin’ out in Davy Jones’ locker”, which was a tent that the actors and techies set up to hang out in during down time. It was a supportive, fun, and exciting environment to be in.

While there was a lot of good fun, there definitely were a few challenges as well. Crew member Joshua Gutow (12) said that the most challenging part of working on Treasure Island was “moving the huge set. I was kind of glad when the show was over so I didn’t have to move it anymore”. The set was indeed huge, heavy, and very intricate with various pieces and doors that needed to be folded and unfolded and rearranged during the blackouts in between scenes and in the shortest possible time period. Hair and makeup crew member and “facial hair foreman” David Casente (12) said the hardest part of his job was “designing beards for the actors. Sharp Queener’s beard was the hardest to design”. Overall, Priory’s production of Treasure Island was truly an exciting swashbuckling journey with great work done by all members of the cast and crew. Great job, Panthers!

"An unpopular opinion? that... the criminal justice system flawed and needs to be fixed in every way shape and form." -Sharp Queener 9

COLLABORATIVE CREATIVITY By Betty Chen

A side-splitting, at times inappropriate, musical stuffed with insulting fake accents, jazzy music and a total of twenty-two seniors graced the Priory stage for high school production. The two and a "Nobody is more the half hour performance showcased a variety important. You of actors, a few musicians, and a tireless couldn't have the group of technicians. Paired with the directing of Mr. Sugden, Ms. Paulson, and show if you're Ms. McFadden, the show truly became a missing one part" 1920s spectacle. However, the question still remains: who among the aforementioned groups are most important to the success of a performance? Stage manager Anna Gutow (10) answers that “nobody is more important. You couldn’t have the show if you’re missing one part”. Tap dance specialist John Gregory (12), otherwise known as Robert Martin, continues poetically, saying “the actors are the one who everybody is looking at while they make their art, however, the reason why the actor looks entertaining

and good on stage is really the culmination of endless house put in by techies, through rehearsals with directors and stage managers, and with the help of all the musicians. It’s really a group effort”. Even clarinetist and saxophonist Curie Park (12) agrees that “they’re all very important, especially Mr. Sugden, Ms. Paulson, Ms. McFadden and all the teachers”. Ms. McFadden, one of the teachers, replies with “definitely none of the above” when asked about the most important group of students. However, opposing these uniting ideals, bass clarinetist and baritone saxophonist Michael Fitzgerald (12) claims that “musicians [are] obviously” the most important because “they’re awesome. We have an amazing, awesome, really awesome, cool, amazing pit”. Despite this, the majority of actors, technicians, musicians, and teachers alike all believe that everyone was essential to this hilarious play.

DIFFERENT DISCOVERIES Whether it is building towers out of toilet paper, or finger painting, students have always thought of hands on learning as way to look at things from a different perspective. 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, all have projects going on that the teachers create to enlighten the students about what they are learning. Projects let students use different strengths and learn in new "the freedom and ways. "The students must learn to read hands on aspect and follow directions, collect data and their findings which often takes helped me" analyze critical thinking,” explained Ms. Wood when asked about why labs are beneficial. Mr. Daniel's most popular project seems to be the Ancient Egyptian project. The students built an Ancient Egyptian Artifact to showcase their artistic abilities and their knowledge of Egypt. "Students have a lot more opportunities to demonstrate different types of knowledge when they are doing a project,” said Mr. Daniel. 7th grader Makena Serughetti agreed saying “I think that being able to do something like the bridge project helped me open my eyes to the more important things I should focus on.”

In 7th grade Mrs. Stastny decided try out a new project. She taught her students how to sew pushing her students to think outside the box, try something new, and learn more about life in the Middle Ages. This required the 7th graders to think outside of the box, and it was a new thing to try for many students. "The enduring understanding was that life in the Middle Ages was tough. So rather than telling them that or showing a video of peasants, I wanted them to expire it for their own" said Mrs. Stastny.The 8th graders got to explore their creativity and critical thinking after reading the book Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Ms. B let the students free in the Tinker Lab where they made an artifact that related to the book. This helped the students show their creative side and also gave them a chance to get out of the classroom and work in a new environment. "The freedom and the hands on aspect of the project helped me really think about what we had learned" said Eli Roybal (8).

MAKING MEMORIES

Why join yearbook? It just adds another responsibility to the long list that goes with being a highschool student right? Wrong. Being a part of the yearbook staff is an overwhelmingly good experience. It is a chance to meet and work with other students, “ I get to be part of learn more about Priory and create something creating something that culture, long lasting and cherished. is important for the Jack Smith (10) is a copywriter whole community,” for the yearbook staff. This means that he receives assignments, chooses an angle, conducts interviews with students of all grade levels and then writes a story, ultimately documenting part of Priory’s culture. “I signed up for yearbook originally in Freshman year because I wanted to be a part of something and meet more people at Priory. I still do it because I learn more about the school while I work on my spreads, and I just love being a part of it in general” shared Jack. “It’s just really fun to get to talk to new people! You learn so much about them from interviewing them” added Annie Boyle (9).

By Emma Jaeger

“I like that I get to be part of creating something that is important for the whole community,” said photographer Eva Elfishaway (10) when asked why she makes the time tdo yearbook. Section editor Megan Love (11) enjoys collaborating with others students to create the book, “it allows me to help guide fellow yearbook members to further the development of their copies in creating cohesive pieces. Also, in general I like working and interacting with others so it's a nice balance between contributing my own work to the book and editing others.” Though the process is very rewarding, there is nothing quite like receiving the yearbook at the end of the year, and holding the very thing that so much time was spent creating. It characterizes the past school year. Jack adds, “When I get it at the end of the year, I feel really proud, because I spent the whole year working really hard on it. It feels really good to see everyone reading it and enjoying it also.”

Dear Class of 2016, As this school year moves ever more quickly to its end we can all look back and enjoy the miracle of the passage of time and the growth which has taken place these past years. We have experienced the Priory grow from a smaller and less complicated school to one of the finest educational institutions in Northern California When you began your high school experience the central part of the campus, Benedictine Square, was home to a few sleepy temporary classrooms and a tired Faculty Office Building which was quite devoid of style. The heavy sound of earth movers, excavators and endless stacks of pavers changed all that into a beautiful space where you have been able to gather with classmates and friends as you solved all the questions the world might pose. And, as the campus grew and was renewed, so too, did you grow into young women and men prepared to enter into the next stage of education and life. And you did it with class. The Class of 2016 has taken its place in the long and proud history of the Priory. It has excelled in leadership qualities, strongly influencing the underclassmen with spirit and direction. Academic success, reflected in the diverse college opportunities offered to members of the class, has been outstanding. Interest and accomplishment in the arts, in drama, on the athletic fields has surely proven to be a stepping-stone for those to follow. Involvement in Campus Ministry activities and generous support for the various drives and appeals to relieve the suffering of those in need has been remarkable. The class of 2016 has indeed made a statement. May the Benedictine values of Community, individuality, hospitality, spirituality and integrity serve you well as you move on to yet another phase of your journeys. May you keep each other safely in your hearts as you go your separate ways, and may you always remember the magic of these years and the community that loves you.
