NTRODUCTIONS ur generation is plagued by routine. Everyday, we get up at the same tim e to go to the same place where we are taught by the same teachers in the same classrooms. Most of us have walked our life path with our heads down, rarely looking up to appreciate the view or to see where we’re headed. We’re always waiting for som ething to happen, relying on chance to bring us opportunity. We put things off. All too often we find ourselves forgetting to make tim e to enjoy the journey. A nd soon enough, we’re another year older and nothing has changed.

Transcend m eans “to be or go beyond the range of limits of (som ething abstract).” We’ve been waiting idly for too long. Now is the time to transcend, and this book is just the beginning. To truly transcend m eans looking up, seeing, appreciating, pushing through anything in the way, and know ing why you’re doing it all. Step 1: Looking Up D on’t get lost in the routine. Don’t get caught up waiting for som ething to happen. You are the engine of change. You’re the only one with the power to do something. Step 2: Seeing Looking and seeing are two very separate and n o n exchangeable actions. To look means to physically gaze. Seeing means perceiving and understanding. Stop looking and start seeing. There are beautiful things happening all around you. Notice.

Step 3: Appreciating W ith the stress of routine, it doesn’t come second nature to take a step back. But perception is power. The ability to remove yourself from a situation and appreciate its beauties and flaws will make you a better person. Step 4: Pushing through There will always be another hurdle to jum p over. Obstacles are constant. How you confront them is what differs. W hatever m ight be in front of you, always push through. W hat’s on the other side is always w orth it. Step 5: Knowing why Looking, seeing, appreciating, and confronting are inconsequential without answering the age-old question, why? W hy are you doing it all? Have a purpose behind everything you do. Transcending boundaries and conventions starts with you. That’s why we did it all. For you. I hope you enjoy.

Ah, the joys of summer. The weight literally (backpack) and figuratively (stress) comes off the shoulders of the Pine's finest while they prepare for the adventures of summer. Before exams nothing had ever seemed so far away, and now it's here: freedom. Freedom to travel the world, get that dream summer job serving froyo, study some more at college campuses all over the country, and even lounge at home watching Netflix with friends (Ben & Jerry). Whatever they did, PC students didn’t waste a day of the three months that came and went in regular fashion: way too fast, Before they could spill their latest summer stories to the friends they missed way too much, the incoming freshmen were already eager to start a fresh, new school year while the rest were excited to be older, better, and definitely tanner.

here’s nothing better than stepping out of the last exam in May and letting out a sigh of relief. Tem porarily done with hours of stress and studying, the Class of 2015 has the whole sum m er ahead of them . A lthough some found fulfillm ent in Chipotle and endless Netflix m arathons, m any seniors spent their sum m er exploring and pursuing their interests around the world. Pine Crest watched Alan Koolik receive the opportunity of a lifetime when he com peted on Jeopardy! Teen Challenge. Reflecting on the com petition, Alan said, “It was absolutely surreal. It’s just so am azing to be on the other side of the cameras, on the other side of the podium .” The com petition was close, and Alan walked away with game show fame and a substantial prize. Yael Lederm an travelled to w ar-torn Israel to work as a camp counselor. Brett Weiss stayed closer to hom e and visited Costa Rica, com m enting that “this experience not only made me understand the standard of living I am so fortunate to have here in the US, but it also allowed me to appreciate nature a great deal more. I escaped the annoyances of social m edia and cell phones and

had the opportunity to envelop myself in nature- a world I seldom get to explore.” He rappelled down a 150 foot waterfall, went cliff jum ping, and lived in the woods for two weeks. Bella Polley basked in the sun alm ost 5,000 miles away in Hawaii while Katie C ooper stayed close to hom e to attend the grand opening of the W izarding World of H arry Potter - Diagon Alley. She com m ented that “I hadn't eaten in 12 hours and stood in the sum m er heat with little water. But we ended up on the Today Show, Fox News, all local Florida News Stations, and buzzfeed! Nerdiest sum m er ever? I would say so.” Sydney Vreeland m editated in Nicaragua helping local children while Sara H enry took on a once in a lifetime opportunity to photograph for Boston.com. The high light of her sum m er was the Aerosmith concert. “I had never professionally photographed a concert before and it w ascom pletelysurreafalthoughverycom petetiveandintense!” This past sum m er was more than just a chance to finally take a break from the m ountains of homework that plague the senior class throughout the year; it was the opportunity to make memories with friends and family that the seniors will carry with them forever.

he beginning of a new school year has always been a consistent opportunity for m etam orphosis, the sum m er providing a hopeful chrysalis of time in which growing three inches and becom ing visibly self-actualized were always possibilities. Sometimes, these things were sought actively, through days at the gym or nights in a library. O ther times, the sum m er was spent passively waiting for these changes to occur on their own, as if some magical natural im petus for change could be lying dorm ant waiting for one hot day to stir a reaction. A new school year is a new chance to becom e a new person, and this is an exciting notion. For freshmen, the first day is always a busy one, with a doubled class size and opportunities for school involvement increased exponentially. The club fair offers a confusing glimpse into high school com m unity life, with each club representative excitedly stirring prospective recruits with promises of exciting meetings and free food. Freshmen explore the new halls, their straightened hair bouncy and their clothes radiating too much

cologne, im agining where the next four years m ight lead. Sophomores return eager to see their old friends, separated seemingly forever by sum m er camps and family vacations. They feel relief to no longer be freshmen, an excitement stem m ing from a sense of com fort and potential. Juniors begin the new year with a mix of dread and adrenaline, stressed for the rigorous year to come but pum ped enough to get it all done. They are now upperclassmen, more powerful with age and increased responsibility. However, there is still room to grow. As seniors return to Pine Crest for their last first day, the excitement is still there, but different. Instead of returning hopeful for a drastic change or instant improvement, seniors receive a bittersweet welcome and the sentim ent to make the best of what is left. No longer is high school the place to become someone newer and better; rather, it is the place where growth has occurred, and where memories have been captured. Seniors walk the halls with confidence knowing they have successfully transcended the stress and the dram a to become fully functioning humans, ready to go out and form their own destinies. They are excited for a new year, a last year, and the possibilities of everything that comes next.

Equipped with Mrs. Metzger’s Schoology updates, Mary Ellen's heavenly student store cookies, and the “warm" welcome of the year’s first assembly, Pine Crest’s newest batch of freshmen was ready to take on whatever Upper School had to offer... or so they thought. Freshman year was full of highs (Jake Shapiro in the Powderpuff dance) and lows (everyone else in the Powderpuff dance), but the most important thing is that they survived all of the withering glares of the yellow-jerseyed, black llpsticked seniors. Even before Orientation Day designed to scare and intrigue them, the Freshman class already strengthened Boca-Fort Lauderdale friendships, which helped provide assurance that, yes, Pine Crest is a little bit crazy on both campuses. Even though freshman is usually a derogatory term, this year’s class seemed to carry the title pretty well. While our team spirit really could use some work (fourth place for the Spirit Stick? Really, guys? Really?), the Class of 2018 is able to say that it survived the first year of “the best four years of their lives." ->

Redefining multilingual, Indira Ramgolam has built her venacular to five different languages. n ■i jodie kahan

"POLYGLOT L earning a new language can be daunting to most. New grammar, vocabulary, and accents are certainly no easy task. For freshman Indira Ramgolam, language has been something she has loved for a long time. “For some reason, language has always been easy for me. It’s an ongoing process to learn, and I value the ability to always get better at something. I also dream of travelling the world someday, and it would be a lot easier if I could speak with the locals.” Fler knack for language began with her father, a native Jamaican, who would speak to her in Patois. That became

the first language she really wanted to learn, but certainly not her last. School has fostered her love for this subject as well by offering French class, which is her favorite subject. “Different than, say, math and science, there is a human aspect to it. I feel like it is more approachable sometimes. It’s also always changing; as people evolve, language changes with them.” She has now learned Italian, Spanish, German, French, and is looking forward to discovering more about Latin and Romanian. Indira explains that language helps keep her grounded. “It’s a great big Earth, but language helps me make it a little smaller.”

or freshman Rachel Zietz, lacrosse has always been a sport she is passionate about. But, when the equipment she had purchased for practice did not meet the standards she expected, Rachel decided to take matters into her own hands. “ I saw « a need in the market for high quality lacrosse practice equipment because the rebounders and goals I was originally purchasing were not holding up to the harsh weather. I went with my idea and ordered a container of goals and rebounders and they began selling super fast.” And the instant success of her business spawned the creation of Gladiator Lacrosse, which aims to sell high quality lacrosse goals and rebounders in order to improve players’ lacrosse skills. As Rachel

quickly learned, balancing a business on top of her own lacrosse practice and schoolwork is no easy task. “The most valuable thing running a business has taught me is time management. I find time to work on something whenever I can whether that is on the bus home, or on the weekends.” And all this extra time certainly pays off because not only is her idea a great one, but her execution is also one of a kind. “My products that I sell are higher quality and are sold at a cheaper price. I first analyzed the design of my competition and then I created my own design of my products with thicker steel and 20% thicker netting to withhold the constant practicing and weather.” Rachel hopes to expand her line in the future, and continue to produce quality lacrosse gear.

THE MOST VALUABLE THING THAT RUNNING A BUISNESS HAS TAUGHT ME IS TIME MANAGEMENT.”

Florida fall isn’t, fundamentally, much different from Florida summer: the heavy humid air, glaring sun, and brightly i saturated foliage could be descriptors of either season. August links the two even further, a foot hovering half in I the freedom of summer and half steeped in the trenches ■ of fall. Even the brightly smiling face of Mr. Pierson waving at cars as they enter the garage could just be a • \ surreal dream induced by nights of summer fun.

Senior year was rhe icing on rhe cake; if was fhe fiercest, something we'll all never forget. We stepped up the game. Good luck living up to the Santa's Sugar Cheetah D addies!! 55

-M A TT CIBENE Junior year we had to show out so we could perform a blow out. Santa’s Sugar Daddies are a great group of kids that just love getting down to girl music. We love expressing our inner selves through interpretative dance; we found a way to channel our dance energy info an awesome performance.55 Our freshmen year dance didn't work out, so we had to bring if sophomore year. I think we really raised the bar that year. It was great getting all the love from the teachers and the crowd even through we felt half-naked?5

Olivia Paul and Garrett Levine becom e teen royalty as they are named Homecoming King and Queen at the football game.

ith all of the spirit and competition of Homecoming, the time finally came for all four grades to participate in one of the oldest high school traditions: the election of the Homecoming King and Queen. Each year, five senior boys and five senior girls are chosen by the senior class to compete for this honor. These ten students are announced in an assembly with a video, and after, the nominees and their escorts are presented. This year’s video, produced by Kyle Israel and Christian Hyatt, was epic - featuring Mrs. Friedman speaking to the students from space - and the nominees were introduced in true 90s kid fashion, imitating of famous movies and TV shows such as “Clueless” and “Full House.” Mr. Pierson had the honor of calling all of the nominees

and their escorts to come on stage as he listed their achievements and participation in various student organizations. After that, the students took to the polls to choose their King and Queen, with the results to be revealed at the Homecoming football game. As students cheered on their football team Friday night, there was a sense of anticipation in the air. Not only was the class winner of the spirit stick going to be announced, but so was this year’s Homecoming King and Queen. All of the nominees and their families came onto the field and after a speech from Dr. Markham, the winners were declared. Garrett Levine and Olivia Paul took the crowns in front of the roaring applause and cheers of their fellow classmates. This year’s homecoming was unforgettable, and the senior class came together enthusiastically to support each other and the nominees.

Waking I ^ up at 6 AM and training over 20 hours a week, the athletes sacrificed days at the beach for long hours of intense practices in the pool, achieving the highest levels of success this season. Some may think of swimming as an individual sport, but these Panthers came together as a team. The divers contributed points at every single dual meet, and helped the team win several meets including the monumental victory against Saint Andrews in October. Between fighting injuries and colds, this team demonstrated their determination in the face of a struggle, and every single member of the dive team qualified for States. The comradery was nearly tangible throughout each meet as teammates cheered for each other. Although the women’s side was very young, everything came together for an amazing championship run-through, coming away with a 13-1 dual meet record as well as District champ,

Regional champ, and State runner-up. The Lady Panthers had , individual state title winners, more than any other team in the state Despite its small numbers, the men’s team came together throughout the season, ending with a winning record. With many first time swimmer joining the team, a great deal of teamwork was needed to achieve success. This teamwork was on full display at the District Championships, where the men’s team narrowly beat rival University School, securing the District Title. Their success continuer throughout the rest of the championship season earning third place at Regions. Pine Crest women’s and men’s diving both placed first ir the state. The team also had swimmers scorn individually at both the Region and State meet The seniors wish the team all the best in the future and knov that the Panthers will continue on with their success. The team recognizes the help of all the coaches who put all of their swea1 and tears into coaching this great group of swimmers am divers. As Coach Jay says, “It’s great to be a Pine Crest Panther!

oming into this season, this year’s football team had expectations set sky-high. With the mantra of “Unfinished Business”, they set out with one goal in mind: championship. Accomplishing this challenge got off to a slow start; after losing the first three games, the team was at last place in the division. As a team, the players had to make the decision of whether to throw in the towel and accept another mediocre season, or rally and get back on track. Over the next few weeks, the team worked itself from aggravation to pride and confidence and began to turn the season around. After all, with the great core of guys on this year’s team, it was only a matter of time until they really got things rolling. The team won five out of the next six games, and soon found itself poised to make a run deep into the play-offs. The night of the conference semi

final, the football players were ready to make good on their promise to reach the championship. However, that night, which will likely go down in history as one of the worst in each player’s life, they were stopped short of their goal when a twist of fate robbed them of the title. While the players reflected afterward, trying to cope with not accomplishing their goal, they looked back on the season with thoughts of the sport, teammates, and coaches that made their days so great. From broken podiums to broken elevators, each player shared countless memories with this football family, and the funny and enjoyable ones will always outweigh the somber ones. While it may not have ended the way that they wanted it to, the good times could not be tarnished.

“WITH THE MANTRA OF "UNFINISHED BUSINESS," THEY SET OUT WITH ONE GOAL IN MIND: CHAMPIONSHIP”

he Pine Crest Cross C ountry Team has had the best season in history this year for both the girls and boys. From running on mudcovered courses to racing in ankle-high water, Personal Records were set, records were broken, and fond m em ories were made. After the girls placed second at the State m eet in 2012 and 2013, they were determ ined to put their best feet forward at this year’s State meet. Doing just that, the team finished with only 10 points separating them from their first State Title. The girls’ team took hom e their 6th D istrict title and their 3rd Regional title. The boys’ team took hom e their 10th District title and their 1st Regional title. Both teams finished 2nd at the state meet - the highest finish in PC history! From the start of June through the end of November, the coaches pushed the team to complete the perfect com bination of 12mile long runs, V 0 2 Max workouts, and recovery

runs. In August, they trained in the m ountains at Camp Highlander in N orth Carolina, since the only hills in South Florida are the 17th Street Causeway, Three M ountains Park, and Vista View Park. To these athletes, Cross C ountry is more than simply com ing to practice everyday and running; they are a family united by the com m onality that they’re crazy enough to run for miles just for the love of it. The feeling of accomplishm ent and joy of completing 8x800m interval workouts with their best friends is indescribable. None of this would have been possible without this year’s coaches, and the team would like to send a big “thank you” to Coach Baur, Coach Brown, Coach Hop, Coach Phillips, Coach Arkin, Coach Bass, and Coach Jen for pushing them to achieve the best results possible! This year’s seniors will miss their Cross C ountry family in the years to come.

o say that the Pine Crest Girls’ Varsity Volleyball Team had a good season would be an understatement. Finishing out the season as the reigning District Champion, Regional Champion, and 4A State RunnerUp, they exceeded expectations K and achieved their long-term goal of making it to the State Championships. Even without the victories, the 2014-2015 season was special. While individuals excelled, what made this year’s PCVB team unique was their ability to fight, win, lose, and work as a team. Every player brought their best efforts and attitudes into the gym, cheered more for their teammates than themselves, and left the court at the end of the season without regrets. Despite the excessive crying on Senior Night, massive heart attacks suffered during Regionals and

States, and severe voice loss after big games, this was PCVB’s best year yet, and the team can’t thank their team, fans, coaches, and parents enough. From loud bus rides and crucial comebacks (Regional Finals) to forgetting the cooler and singing the national anthem when the sound system broke, this was an unforgettable season filled with more high fives, tears, and laughter than the volleyball fans and players thought humanly possible to squeeze into four months. Even though Seniors Lauren Houle, Sydney Vreeland, and Sara Shmueli are sad that it’s all over, they couldn’t be happier with how the season ended or prouder of their teammates; they wish the PCVB underclassmen the best of luck, and promise to always support their PCVB family, no matter where they end up.

I I he Pine Crest Boys’ Varsity G olf Team had an excellent season this year, advancing to the state tournam ent for the first time in seven years. This year’s seniors were critical in advancing the team to the State tournam ent as Steven Chervony shot a 5 underpar 67, Austin Colon shot a 3 under-par 69 in the regional tournam ent. Luke “Small Dog” Glassman was thankful that hair-brushing strokes did not count towards his score. Ian “It Wasn’t Me” Edelman set a personal best for fairways hit in regulation. Freshman Miles Castoro also had a great season highlighted by a 72 in the district tournam ent. He also set a record for m ost rounds played in the w rong uniform . The Girls’ Varsity G olf Team was in “m in t” condition this year as they sported their m intcolored golf shirts for the 2014-2015 season. The team welcomed back co-captains C atherine Lott

and A lexandra Wiley. The season began with nine scheduled matches to play, but w eather proved to be a m ajor obstacle. Several matches were cancelled or reduced to five holes of play instead of nine. Sam H aubenstock and C atherine Lott led the team playing in 1st and 2nd positions, respectively, while Lisbeth Rubin, Paige Skimming, and A lexandra Wiley completed the line-up in 3rd, 4th, and 5th positions. At the end of the season, the team had played six matches with a record of 4-2. At the District Tournam ent the team came in 2nd place and earned the opportunity to play in the Regional T ournam ent C om petition the following week. Individually, the players placed very well with Sam antha H aubenstock in 4th, C atherine Lott in 7th, Lisbeth Rubin in 8th, Paige Skim m ing in 10lh, and A lexandra Wiley in 17th out of a field of26 com petitors. W hat a great year for the Varsity G olf Team!

or seniors, Halloween is always one of the most highly anticipated days of the school year, and a chance to exercise the senior privilege of coming to class in full costume. A clever costume is an absolute must, and though some seniors choose to dress in groups and others fly solo, they definitely take advantage of this special opportunity to make their mark. Senior Brittany Paris reveled in her hom ecom ing threepeat by com ing decked out as the hum an Spirit Stick. A barely recognizable Rachel Cagnetta pulled off full dedication to em ulating the bright green pallor of the Wicked Witch of the West. Jeopardy host Alex Trebek, regularly known

as Alan Koolik, also came by to see if any other Pine Crest Students were up for the challenge of the Teen Tournam ent this year. A few faculty members joined in on the senior fun, and many students got the chance to sit through classes taught by the likes of Thing One and Thing Two, Charlie Christ, and various superheroes. The most frightening costum e of all, though, had to have been Madison Herin’s clever but nightm arish im itation of a college rejection letter, hitting seniors already stressed about their first application deadline the following m orning hard. Oh well, nothing loads and loads of candy couldn’t fix!

nominated to have freezing cold water poured on them, and based on student votes, Mr. Kruger-Robbins, Mrs. Ortega, and Mr. Pierson were all nominated as Ice Bucket victims. Afterschool, s t u d e n t s gathered around the sacrifice circle to watch their favorite teachers feel as uncomfortable and in pain as students do when walking into a test in their class. Mr. Pierson, in typical fashion, boldly designated himself to receive three ice buckets without flinching, while Mrs. Ortega and Mr. Kruger-Robbins decided one ice bucket was enough.

Enjoying geographic, ethnic, racial, and religious diversity, Pine Crest unites in its differences.

hen observed from theoutside, Pine Crest seems generally homogenous. Red brick columns frame students w ir in g similar collared shirts and crisp shorts. However, a closer look into the unique composition of a Pine Crest class lends new understanding to the different facets of diversity represented among peers. Many students belong to campus communities that celebrate their own unique cultural heritage, such as the Indian Heritage Club or the Black Students’ Association. Additionally, students can choose to join clubs that act as safe spaces to discuss respective political views, gender identities, and future aspirations. Pine Crest

students’ ability to unite in supporting each the differences, is what truly makes this school unique. From filling the stands at a Panthers sports game, piling into Stacy Auditorium to attend a play or dance performance, or cheering for each other’s academic achievements, diversity at Pine Crest is not at all divisive. Students come together during their four years to celebrate the diversity around them, and create an environment to facilitate a sharing of knowledge and communication. Pine Crest students are not only the foundation of the school, but also each other’s foundation. No matter how different Pine Crest students are, their differences are celebrated.

his year, D ance Etc. was reintroduced as a school-w ide assembly. C om posed o f 7th and 8th graders as well as high school students, Dance Etc. represents the entire dance departm ent at Pine Crest, a place this group of dancers calls their second home. Both semesters, cast m em bers spend their Tuesday and Thursday evenings choreographing and rehearsing the pieces to perform in the fall and spring. They spend the whole year working on these contem porary, m odern, and ballet choreographies not only to improve their dancing ability but also to perform at the highest level. The support the on-looking

students bring is not only appreciated th ro u g h the eyes o f the dancers but also extrem ely prized by the dance departm ent family. W hile the Dance Etc. perform ances are the only ones showcased during school hours, dancers continuously work to put on the Dance Showcase in D ecem ber as well as the annual ballet in March. The Dance Showcase allows the dancers to express themselves individually through many different dance styles. All involved with Pine Crest’s Palm er Dance Studio truly love to dance, and through these shows they get to express that joy across to other students in hoping that they will love it, too.

urtain up, lights on! It’s finally Rose’s turn. With the direction of Mr. Ametrano, the cast and crew of Gypsy transformed Stacy Auditorium into a 1920s Vaudevillian theatre louse equipped with « verything from talented outh performers to mrlesque dancers, a ull orchestra, a dog, an ver-controlling stage 10m with an inability 3 let go of her growing hildren, and even a cow. iypsy is known as the “crown jewel of leatre”, a show that has been performed by ome of the greatest stars of the theater. Its opularity can be explained by the show’s ombination of unusual setting and common lemes; underneath its gripping plot is the )ve shared between a mother and a daughter, bond that can be strained but never broken.

The orchestra included twenty musicians, thirteen of which were Pine Crest students able to master Gypsy’s exceptionally difficult score, and was brilliantly conducted by Dr. Cicconi. Mr. Ametrano (director), Mr. Testa (musical director), Mrs. Cichoski (choreographer), Mr. Fitzpatrick, and each member of the cast, crew, and orchestra dedicated countless hours toward making Gypsy a success, and rave reviews from Cappies Critics proved that their lack of sleep was worth it. At the end of the show, Rose proclaims “everything’s coming up roses for me!” But during both performances, everything was “coming up roses” for the entire production of Gypsy. Each member was vital toward Gypsy’s success and memorability.

enerally speaking, hobbies are for entertainment. Soccer, video games, and even the flute are usually enough to occupy the few hours of free time PC students have between classes and that ancient thing we call “sleep.” For 15-year-old Hugh O’Neil, the court, the field, or stage were just simply not enough. About three years ago, Hugh began to fly planes, making the sky his court. Through flying, Hugh was able to literally and figuratively get perspective, realizing that the power he held should go to helping his community. “I really wanted a mission, or something I could accomplish. Flying was fun, but I knew it could be more.” Not long after, Hugh discovered Pilots n’ Paws, an organization dedicated to saving dogs in fatal situations with the

help of a community of pilots. “Fve always had a love for dogs, and this allowed me to combine my passion for aviation with my love of animals.” His empathy radiates as he tells stories of his favorite missions in which he is able to reunite dogs that have had near-death experiences with their families. “It’s so emotional to see these families. They’re so grateful. There’s no better feeling.” Hugh really believes that his project speaks to the way everyone should view what he or she loves to do. “In my opinion, everything has a way to spin it where you can give back. Finding that is difficult, but it’s so worth it.” Doing something you love while simultaneously helping out the community in whatever way possible makes for real success. And Hugh has no doubt paved his own path to a successful future.

taking a little from each along tae way. orn in the United States, Hiba moved halfway around the world to Dubai with her parents and two brothers when she was six years old. Eight years later, she is back in Florida and things are definitely different, but not because of the culture. “I don’t think that because I grew up in a different country it is harder for me. Being a new student in any environment is tough.” From an international school in a modern Middle Eastern metropolis to quiet, small-city South Florida, Hiba uprooted to what probably seems like a whole new world. While Pine Crests diversity is often prized as one of its best qualities, to Hiba who went to a school hosting over 70 nationalities, the Pine’s halls sometimes seems a bit homogeneous. Despite obvious differences, though, much remains the same. “Eve heard some pretty outrageous questions like ‘Do you ride camels to school?’ No, we have cars! There’s civilization in Dubai! And my

friends in Dubai are the same as my friends here. Teenagers really are still just teenagers.” Wise in tone and attitude, Hiba’s maturity can be attributed to her extensive worldly travels or even to her charity work. In Dubai, Hiba’s school required extensive charity work outside of the classroom, but Hiba always did more than was asked of her. After becoming involved in UNICEF, A charity organization that helps children in third world countries, Hiba fell in love with helping others. “I’ve only been in the United States for a short period of time. After I get settled in, I would love to start up UNICEF again. A lot of people fail to acknowledge that there’s life outside the buble we live in. Growing up in Dubai showed me a little bit of that life, but UNICEF showed me a whole other side that I hope everyone gets to see.” The sky is the limit for Hiba, that certainly does not let boundaries or borders keep her from doing whatever she sets her mind to.

SOME PRETTY OUTRAGEOUS QUESTIONS LIKE ‘DO YOU RIDE CAMELS TO SCHOOL?’”

t wouldn’t be crazy to most to admit that high school isn’t really the amusement park it seemed to be when we were all in lower school admiring the grandeur of the upper school halls. Once we hit these halls on that bittersweet first day of freshman year, decisions faced each person. Would we succumb to the normal pressures of high school or would our four years on this campus mean more than just some stereotypes? For Sofia Caro, her love of football meant choosing the latter path, one that led her to overcoming odds, proving people wrong, and, despite sacrifices, inspiring others to challenge conventions. Sofia began her football career in 6th grade out of pure love for the sport. “It’s just such a challenge! Those guys out there push themselves so hard, and that to me is so inspiring.” Although at the age of eleven when she began to play it was never her intention to make such a large feminist statement, at fifteen she

couldn’t be more pleased with her impact. “I hope I’ve paving the way for other girls to not be afraid of doing what they love. If you want to do something, do it, no matter who or what says you can’t.” Cliche as it may be, we all grow up fitting ourselves into molds and it takes a certain bravery to build a new mold. Paving her own path certainly didn’t come without struggle. At the beginning of her career, Sofia had a hard time, often feeling isolated and treated differently than the male players. “I always want to be judged on my performance and work ethic, instead of my gender.” Her respect was not handed to ’Tifcf; it was eafned-when hei teammate saw that she worked just as hard as they did, continuing to surpass expectations and even impressing coaches. “If you get back up and continue to work with that same drive and passion, you’re going to be successful.” Neale Donald Walsch says it best. “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

o the blind eye Justin Danzansky and Seth Kelman seem like norm al teenage boys interested in girls, grades, sports, and....film . This passion for film, far from conventional, propels this dynamic duo towards being the next Hollywood super-pair. The beginning of Seth’s love of film was quite clear-cut. “This is gonna sound cheesy, but film was just a cool m edium . After I saw ‘Inception’ in 5th grade, that movie showed me what film could do, and what it was capable of.” Justin and Seth’s unparalleled distinctiveness rem ains their desire to drive change. To them , film is m ore than just a pretty picture on a screen or their nam es on the closing credits. Film is an agent of change. “I just th in k it’s cool that when people

are done watching and they leave the theater, they continue to talk about the film. We have the power to start discussion and debate.” W ith Seth as director and Justin working as cinematographer, their partnership depends on shared interests and inspiration. But, as Justin explains, sometimes it’s their disagreement that produces the best product. “We agree on and like most of the same things, and we have similar interests and likes so that’s why it works. Not agreeing, though, is part of working together, or collaboration. We both have different ideas and the compromises we make coming up with the middle ground is often better than either previous idea.” W ith attitude and talent alike, we’ll certainly be seeing this pair again on the big screen.

Winter at the Pine isn’t indicated by snow days or ice collecting on the windows of classrooms. Instead, as the days grow colder, the students come together to relish in the holiday spirit, to study in preparation for their first semester exams and, most importantly, to wear their Pine Crest branded sweatpants. Winter comes with warm cups of coffee in the Student Union and lying out in the grass, basking in the warmth of the sun. As the school year reaches its halfway point, the chaos of first semester subsides. Seniors are finishing their applications, juniors have settled into their challenging new courses, sophomores have slipped into the high school routine, and freshmen have finally figured out how to find their way around campus. Up north, winter means dead plants and slipping on ice but aI* pine Crest, everyone has found their footing as they look to the New Year. STORY IELLIE BOTOMAN

With a mix of young and old, (he Panthers look Slacy Gym by storm to finish off an impressive season. his season the Panthers set out with the same goal that the basketball program has had for the last 10 years: to win states. The team had an outstanding regular season record of 17-8 and maintained the strong legacy of Pine Crest Basketball. The « team became a tight unit and bonded over all day practices, seven o’clock beach workouts, and team lunches at Chipotle. The team was led by four seniors. Nick Nolting, committed to Davidson for football, was a powerhouse on the offensive boards and had a sweet free-throw line jumper. Jonah Scrudders brought intelligent play onto the court and was a lights-out three point shooter who gave the team momentum in big games.

AJ Sacks was a four-year varsity player and co-captain with experience from the 2012 championship season. He was a leader on the court and also led the team in assists. Antonio Vrankovic, most likely going to play ACC basketball, was the most dominant big man averaging nearly 30 points and 15 rebounds a game. Antonio broke records including most blocks and rebounds in a season, and he tied Brandon Knight for the most points scored in a game (55). Additionally, there were valuable contributions from younger players such as Chris Marzouca, Chandler Pollock, and Chris Alexander who hold the future in their hands. Ultimately, the team had an incredible and memorable season!

t was a great season for the GVBT, which isn’t surprising considering the great group of girls carrying the team. W ith a record of 14 wins and an additional win at the district quarter finals, there was a lot to be proud of this year. Senior Remi Shea, know n for her charm ingly overwhelm ing levels of spirit and talent on the court, was chosen to play on the Broward County Private School All Star Team. Starting seniors Sydney Landers and Sydney Vreeland also had a great season, however the real senior MVPs were on the bench, filling water cups with the deft skill and hand-eye coordination only a basketball player could harness. The team would like to thank M eredith Kava and A ndrea Cureton for warm ing both their bench and their hearts. This season w ouldn’t have been the same w ithout junior Tori Engler, who let only illness come between her and her starting position. Following

Tori were the team’s fearless sophomores, Allie Silitsky, A m anda Anderson, and Chase Shea; even though two thirds of them were injured half the time, they never slowed down. The team is especially proud of freshman Asha Taylor for breaking Pine Crest’s record for most rebounds in a game. O ther notable freshman contributions include Andie Weinberg’s trick shots, Danielle Bejar’s scaryaccurate shooting, and Bella M aharaj’s cute face and consistent enthusiasm. Seniors feel confident in this group of players, knowing they will only improve their skills in the years to come. Lastly, the team thanks their manager, Emily Mintz, who was there for every game. The team would have been lost w ithout her organizational skills - legitimately lost, in fact, as they actually would not have known when to be on the bus. Thanks to all who made this season such an amazing one.

W hile the squad had fun cheering at games, they also accom plished the latter part of their favorite activity by learning how to lead. Being a cheerleader encompasses hard work, creativity, artistic ability, and dedication. Many times before games the team set up posters and

decorations for the gym to make it look in tiptop shape. They held bake sales, created goodie bags for the senior captains, made amazing snacks for the players, and, as always, cheered the panthers on to victory. This year’s squad spent many of their practices having to rework their routines, quarters, and stunts due to injury or sickness, but there was never a m om ent they stopped striving for success. W hile these girls may not lift weights, they do lift people - a feat that takes real athleticism. It was a long season but it was definitely one for the books.

s soccer star Mia Hamm once said, “Somewhere behind the athlete you’ve become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is a ® ■ little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back... play for her.” That’s exactly what each and every member of the Varsity Squad did this year - they played for themselves. This wasn’t the only thing driving the players, though; they were also motivated by Panther Pride and their amazingly dedicated leaders, Head coach Pepi Vallejo and his awesome assistants Joe Detomasso, Laura Carafiello, and Taylor Pressley. The players’ hard work and dedication certainly paid off, and they finished the season with a whopping 13 wins. Helped by senior sensation Nylah Hamilton’s strong defensive play and incredible junior Autumn

Clark’s 17 goals, the Lady Panthers finished the season on a strong note and will definitely be the team to beat next year. Rounding out the junior squad were captains Isabelle Turner and Jordyn Elliot, double duty forward and defender Maddie Bier, dangerous defenders Ryan Clarke and Karlie Simpson, and goalie great Sophia Danielsen, who allowed the fewest goals in the district for yet another year. Sophomore forwards Mariana Giraldo and Madeleine Turner scored at will, while skilled sophomore defenders Kylie DiCarolis, Gabi Meli, and Amanda Gibson were the opponents’ worst nightmare. Finally, this year’s fabulous freshmen Karlie Pollock, Skylar Pollock, Ana Simon, and Eva Spyredes added to complete the team. With so many returning players next year, the Panthers are sure to bring home a trophy in the seasons to come.

This year's group of girls certainly felt the burn for the 2014-2015 weightlifting season.

082

ine Crest Girls W eightlifting is such a unique sport in that almost all the girls on the team this year were m ulti-sport athletes. Weightlifting is great conditioning for any sport, and the coaches always made sure the team used the proper technique so that they did not injure themselves. The small team allows for a tight knit group of girls where everyone is supportive of each other. This year’s team consisted of eight weightlifters who bonded throughout the season. They would cheer eachother on during meets, especially those against

Boca High. They even created their own special cheer that they did after each practice and meet. These girls had great success this year and sophom ore Sofia Caro had the opportunity’ to compete at states. All of the weightlifters were able to make Personal Records in bench press and clean-and-jerk by the end of the season. The team always pushed and encouraged each other to do their best, and did e v e r y t h in g as a team, from warm ups to dreaded ice baths. We hope that in the next years the team continues to grow and achieve more success.

“ IT IS A VERY TIGHT KNIT GROUP AND EVERYONE IS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF EACH OTHER”

PERFECT TECHNIQUE BREATHING: big breath at top, hold it on way down, hold it at bottom, exhale at the top

HEAD: inline with the rest of the spine

STANCE: shoulder-width apart from heel to heel

Ho ho holidays, the Pine cuddles under blankets to endure the barely cold temperatures in time for the holiday season.

he months of December, January, and February are known at school to be the best. Getting through the beginning months of school would be a completely different experience if the light at the end of the tunnel wasn’t marked by the holiday season. Beginning in late December, the start of holiday vacation alleviates the stress of the previous week of midterms. Some families light their menorahs, while others hang lights around their house, letting everyone know the holiday season has arrived—and let’s be honest, school’s out! 2014 ended with fireworks as students of PC rang in the New Year, welcoming 2015 with smiles. In February, the week off might as well be a holiday. The start of second semester puts everyone on edge, and here at Pine Crest this “ski vacation” is a much-

T [ I

needed break. And who can forget Valentine’s Day with the annual rose sale and delicious chocolate topping off our winter holidays. The holidays are also known for a boom in entertainment. The movie and music industries always produce a surplus of holiday-focused media. Sophomore Carly Feldman cites “Unaccompanied Minors” of 2006 as her favorite holiday movie of all time. Freshman Sophie Glassman says “Elf” of 2003 is her favorite holiday movie. Geometry teacher and guru Mr. Spitzig claims “Weezer’s Christmas Album” as “the best holiday album of all time.” So, whether we’re excited for some time off school, or movies, or just the spirit of the holidays, the winter months are definitely jam packed with fun and celebration.

o many PC students, one of the highlights ot Feb Fest is the multicultural assembly, known fondly around the Pine as “Multi.” Excitement was palpable throughout the school as the day kicked off with PCCF’s annual rose delivery and the gift of shortened classes. Students were also allowed to wear traditional cultural clothing. With enthusiasm, they entered Stacy Auditorium to enjoy the Multicultural assembly. The assembly began with Sarah Gale’s cover of Bailando and A la Faveur de L’automne with Hunter Wasserman on the drums. The BSA, Black Student Association, shook the room with

Saving the best for last, the Spanish Club shimmied their way on stage with their bold presence and spicy hispanic flavor. Each clubs dance was accompanied with an uproar of applause and standing ovations. Multicultural Day embodies Pine Crest’s open arms to diverse cultures, and this assembly is a favorite among students as they are encouraged to embrace their own unique identities while welcoming others’ cultural backgrounds.

Through the ages, PC students transcend culture and time during Multicultural week. he Sadie Hawkins dance is a PC tradition that began four years ago. To many schools, it’s known as the dance where the girls ask the guys, but PC does it differently: it’s basically one giant costum e party with good music and even better food. This year’s dance, though it had no particular costum e themes, saw many creative and silly outfits. There were Cosmo and Wanda, several bunnies hopping about, some wacky tacky tourists, Katniss and Peeta, and even a guest appearance by Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Students m unched on pizza and Chipotle, and many danced along to today’s top tunes. It’s safe to say guests left the dance with big smiles on their faces. The following M onday kicked off FebFest, another PC tradition. Cometry, a poetry-com edy fusion group, came to perform for the entire upper school, and many students claimed that this was the best assembly they’d seen all year. Tuesday brought a special showing of PCTV, followed by

a powerful panel entitled “Words That H urt” which focused on m inority groups on campus. W ednesday was a special day for the seniors. Eleven seniors officially signed their com m itm ent to various universities for athletics, which is the largest num ber of signings that PC has ever seen. Thursday brought the most exciting part of the week for m ost students: the Multicultural assembly. Students were encouraged to dress up in attire that represented their cultural heritage, and at the end of the day, the upper school gathered in Stacy Auditorium to watch different cultural groups perform. Friday was a them ed dress down day, featuring the seniors as senior citizens, juniors as parents, sophomores as teenagers, and freshmen as babies. Classes ended at noon, and all four grades gathered in the atrium for a catered lunch of Chipotle, PDQ, and Garlic Knot pizza, all PC student favorites. The week finished off with a special showing of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the ICI auditorium .

t all began in October, when Mr. Gillego told his three English Language and C om position AP classes he was coordinating a TEDx event where the speakers would be the students. These seniors were to form their groups and choose a topic they wished to inquire on. Once established, these students were to search for scholarly articles, as well as create original research, for the next three m onths. Then finally, after five m onths of hard work, multiple drafts and practices, give an eloquent seven-m inute speech on their findings. “Wait, do you m ean like, a legit TED talk?” was one o f the first questions posed. It was hard for the students to wrap their heads around the idea that they were being given such a large opportunity to share their opinions on

a global platform. Yet, over time enthusiasm began to grow, and research projects began to take shape. Some students went a different direction than originally planned, while others continued on down their path. W hen drafting began some groups began to lose their way, until Mr. Gillego offered some sound advice. “This is a learning experience. You are contributing to a growing dialogue, and your opinion is valid.” This calming advice certainly took hold during the event as each speaker nervously walked to the bright red circle, yet eloquently and enthusiastically shared their research and their opinions. After five m onths, everyone’s hard work finally paid off in an educational, entertaining, and diverse event that these seniors will never forget.

WAIT, DO YOU MEAN LIKE. A LEGIT TED TALK?”

One word is more important to juniors than any other word in the English vocabulary: “sleep.” People never know how i much they love something until it’s gone, and boy do juniors \ miss their sleep. Some would argue that the most important \ words are GPA, ACT, SAT, or AR but those aren't even words. Sanity is also a strong contender. On the bright side, this is \ the first year that there is a light in the darkness. Juniors are \ upperclassmen now, old enough to tell stories that begin with, \ “when I was your age” and young enough to still claim they, \ “didn’t know that dress code rule” . Juniors can pretend to \ be seniors in the student store line and pretend to still be too * \ young to really study for standardized tests. Nevertheless \ by junior year, everyone has found their place: their group \ of friends, their interests, their niche. They are gymnasts, \ athletes, performers, and artists. Through it all, they are \ one family. Before senior year, before the year they've \ been dreaming about since they could first say the word \ “accepted,” this year's junior class is sleep-deprived £ , \ together, enjoying each other's company and getting \ ready to take on the world.

I 1 1 ■ ■ ■ ell me about your experiences in Global Encounters.” Aly smiles, a brightness emerging in his eyes as he sits down and starts to speak. He eagerly recounts his summer in the Kenyan mountains at the Children’s Garden Home much like he would remember an old friend. Most notably in his conversation is the absence of pity; instead he makes it clear that he is the one who deserves to be thankful. After a rigorous application process, Aly and 60 other teens took off for Kenya through a program for Ismaili Muslim teens entitled Global Encounters. “On the first day we were really, really nervous; we weren’t really sure what to expect. We didn’t imagine that the kids would care much about a few teenagers because of everything they were going through.” What they got was the Children’s Garden Home, an orphanage that serves as a home to about 100 orphans and a school to another 200 children who commute daily from nearby slums. Many of the residents of Children’s Garden Home come from troubled backgrounds where they may not have had parents or healthy family relations. Teaching classes to fifth graders, Aly realized: “I think most of us are ignorant, as much as we pretend that we’re not, of what’s going on outside our world... A lot of people, specifically these kids across the world, are going through

adversity that I’ve never even had to think of facing. It’s really humbling.” When asked about his favorite memory, he recalls: “The kids had a whole show to put on for us, with acrobatics and dancing... It was just crazy that these kids, going through everything that they were going through, took the time to rehearse a show for us... The thought that they could be so uplifting and so happy in spite of what they’re going through was inspiring.” Upon leaving the home, Aly’s experiences triggered something in him and two of his peers, a desire and a need to give back. After long discussions and careful thinking, the Global Garden Project was born. A major component of Aly’s service in particular is getting bracelets and necklaces crafted and made by the orphans to earn money that can be used for development at the home. Another large part of their work is spreading awareness about the experiences of the residents of the home. “We want to humanize these kids, not just have people see them as orphans in Kenya. We want them to be seen as intelligent students that are making the most of the conditions that they live in.” And the end goal for the project? “A Pine Crest-like environment at the home, and eventually a worldwide network of teens working towards similar goals on local and international scales. I know it’s going to be hard, but in the end, if we can make a positive impact on people’s lives, isn’t it worth it?”

oiler girl: an outgoing, amiable, and high-spirited young woman. While many students find themselves following paved paths, Alana Udwin, founder of jollergirl.com, sets out to create her own. Her blog seeks to entertain and empower Joller girls all over the world. The name took inspiration from her father’s birthplace of Zimbabwe, Africa. He used to refer to her and her sister as Joller girls. “Being called a Joller girl growing up inspired me to write about just that: going out on the town, trying new things, travelling, eating at cool restaurants...” Alana taught herself website design through hours of pouring through tutorials on YouTube. After that, it was all about honing her writing skills to reach a broader audience. “Creating this blog has really brought out my

entrepreneurial spirit and natural instincts for business. What started out as a digital diary told through storytelling turned into a way to explore my interest in business- with me [Joller Girl] as the brand.” Through the years this small project blossomed into a powerful medium she uses to motivate others. “I hope to inspire my readers to explore new places and try new things. I also want to inspire them to follow through with their ideas and not care what others might think.” Her confidence empowers others to pursue their own passions and her get-it-done attitude towards the future reflects the many doors this project has opened for her. With around 3000 viewers every month, who knows where she’ll take this in the future. Wherever it is, there is no doubt it’ll be big.

no arm movements because w hen the British invaded Ireland, they outlawed dancing, so people would dance in their hom es with their arm s down so the British couldn’t tell they were dancing.” Irish Step Dance has transformed Addie’s personal life, cultivating her worldliness, maturity, and even work ethic. “It has m ade me a lot m ore disciplined, and it makes me w ork harder at everything I do, really.” D ancing has really become m ore of a lifestyle for Addie, who doesn’t view giving up dancing as a viable option any tim e soon. “In college I’m definitely going to continue. 1 may even try to join a professional dance com pany!” The green, white, and orange of the Irish flag will indubitably continue stepping with Addie for a long, long time.

INTEGRATING CULTURE AND PASSION SEAMLESSLY”

here’s no doubt technology has influenced our society a great amount over the last decade. For junior Lindsey Resnik, however, computers have become more than just a fun activity; rather, they’ve served as a means to help others. When Lindsey was in the 8lh grade, along with her dad and brother, she began a website titled laptop-rehab.com where the trio refurbishes broken computers, watches, and various other things to give to homeless shelters. This hobby stems from an introduction to technology at a very young age. “My dad’s always been a tinkerer so I think watching him kind of got me interested and then I started fixing computers.” And it’s not just her knack for all things fixing that began when she was young.

Her altruism developed as a child as well. Lindsey grew up going to a free shelter and clinic for the underprivileged called Open Door located in Kendal where she would volunteer with her family. Although Lindsey really enjoys working with computers for her website, she firmly states that this is just a hobby that has ultimately helped a lot of people. “Our security guard has five kids, and one of his daughters wanted to apply to college, but they didn’t have a computer, or enough money to give it to her. So, we refurbished one of ours and gave it to her so she could pursue what she wanted.” There’s plenty more amazing stories that would not have been made possible without Lindsey’s dedication to technology and bettering the world around her.

Each year, Pine Crest students sit in class learning and reading and listening to teachers as they explain the importance of just i about everything. As students can attest, examining Walden \ by the famous Henry David Thoreau in English class was no \ exception. Students went through each section, trying to pay \ attention, vaguely listening, until spring. In this section, they \ heard Thoreau discuss how wonderful the earth seems as \ everything shifts from an icy winter into the unmistakable ‘ \ beauty of spring. Thoreau was able to connect that spring \ is a symbol for rebirth and starting over not only for nature, i but for those who live within it. This rebirth is felt each A spring at Pine Crest, even though the snow isn't melting off trees and the air doesn’t seem any more flora! than \ usual. Students see the second semester freshmen \ finally getting the hang of the school they will call theirs \ for the next four years, while second semester seniors A revel in their last stretch of high school. All Pine Crest \ students fee! a change in the air as final exams * \ roll around just in time for everything to took a little \ greener. Everyone has the chance to change with the season.

he track and Field team is the group to be at Pine Crest. W hile some may assume this reputation is due to their successes, wins, and records, it’s really because they just have fun. M ost people w ouldn’t put running in circles and jum ping in the sand on their bucket list, yet four years later track and field athletes still find themselves smiling at the starting line. Not because they’re excited to run, though; they sm ilebecausetheyhave been psychologically tortured into staying positive. O ne may not see it at first, but track is m ore about the results than the journey. The journey is really painful, and these athletes try to forget that as best they can. If it was just about winning, life would be so m uch easier, but instead, it’s always about improving. Coaches, team m ates, and friends push track and field

athletes to achieve the impossible, and once they get there, even more is expected. That’s what makes track athletes the best: they end up looking back down the m ountain ot work they put in at the end, and realize how far they climbed, In reality, track is all about getting those results. Every day track stars wake up, and pray to the portrait of Jack Walker, graduated Pine Crest track and field star, for mercy in the upcom ing workout. Sometimes the prayers are answered by rain through the heavens, but usually he is silent, inspiring another prayer to John Decker. John Decker is the next in a line of PC track prophets, rum ored to have blazed a legendary 4:20 minute mile in his days at the Pine. He preaches via Snapchat and Facetime, bringing the team courage for the oncom ing workout.

This year's team was revam ped and ready to dominate as they took on Lheir opponenLs on Lheir brand new held.

eading to a typical practice after their Olympic games, the lacrosse team never seemed to see eye to eye with Coach Harris. They looked upon the indignant scowl of Coach Derrenberger, adm ired the awe-inspiring beard of Coach Harreys, and became puzzled at the child like dem eanor of Coach Bornhofen. D uring practice they generally heard argum ents about Mr. Mouse, pterodactyls, and giant m arine mammals. D earm an chased Tesch around the field, but they typically finished quickly. Nero attem pted to figure out what sport he was playing, while Carson hypothesized about the specific heat of the bench as he placed his rear on it. After stretches, the team started their railroads and Justin Saltzenberg furiously

yelled at Ben Kellman, even though he continued to make all the right moves. As they began shooting practice, the team all cram m ed inside the goal to protect themselves from Cody’s shot. After shooting, they tu rn ed their attention to up field passing, an opportunity session they all cherished. McCoy tried to get the picture perfect ground ball, but found it was just too hard. Ethan also attem pted to pick up a groundball but couldn’t seal the deal. Zach’s ego was so big that Sean’s back couldn’t support it. Throughout the whole practice, Oliver showed that he is a very athletic person with a great work ethic and good leadership skills. Finally, they ended practice with a ball hunt, because Patrick always m anaged to lose one.

very year, the PCGLax season is marked by a different theme; this year’s was “Impact.” The squad as a whole and by parts did no less than make a lasting impact. The newbies this year were freshmen Tara Shecter, Rachel Zietz, Caroline Adkins, and sophomore Kylie DiCarolis. Tara had as much KENNADY SM ITH poise on the field as any freshman could have; the ELIANA SPEY rumor that she has a flaw was squashed quickly as she clearly does not. Rachel, already a budding MANAGERS entrepreneur, most likely C A R LY SCHULMAN only plays lacrosse with millionaire ALISON S C H W A R T Z non-self-made ERYKA TOMLINSON high schoolers to keep herself grounded. Caroline COACHES marched onto the lacrosse B R IT T A N Y BAER field, for the first time ever, C A ITLIN HAM PTO N head-on so literally that she got a concussion. Kylie has been dubbed by other teams as the “most annoying defender ever.” The returning players rose to the occasion, as usual. Amanda Anderson oftentimes forgets what sport she’s playing and dunks the ball in the goal. Dani Swords is not actually anti-social, and she’s definitely not awkward when she effortlessly escapes a double team.

Beware seniors: Evin Rothschild will likely follow you to college. In that case, she loves womens basketball games, crossword puzzles, and younger siblings. Bianca “B-Stang” Tedesco will sting her opponents if they get too close. Caroline Jordan probably has the highest combination of goals scored and test scores out of everyone to ever walk the halls of Pine Crest. Izzy Lopez’s shot will decapitate someone one day. Remi Shea’s voice is louder than the music at Ultra Music Festival. The team would also like to give a special shout out to the greatest hydration specialists and managers, Ali Todd, Hailey Weinberg, and Sophia Danielsen. Lastly, but arguably most important, were the four captians: Nikki, Schwartz, Gersh, and Lex. Nikki once posed the question “Can you survive the ‘Four C’s’?” It’s a rhetorical question, but being that no other group of captains is as smart, they all took it literally and did not survive, leading Pine Crest to win every coin toss.

he ability for a baseball player to overcome adversity is directly related to the bond he has with his teammates. In a game where failure is extremely prevalent, a familylike atm osphere is vital for team success. Baseball IS far from an individual sport. A big emphasis for the Pine Crest baseball team this year was team chem istry and team unity, which are both essential to hold any respectable team together. Togetherness is what brings the baseball team to their target. Entering the season looking to make a run at a district cham pionship and more, the Panthers knew they had som ething to prove. A sense of hunger to win was prevalent throughout the baseball program,

W ith seven seniors and six returning starters, the Pine Crest baseball team had both a close-knit group of guys and a great opportunity for success heading into the season. U nder the direction of new head coach Wayne Stofsky, the Panthers were m ore than prepared for the testing and grueling season that laid ahead of them . Fully equipped with a sensational coaching staff and an assortm ent of talent, the squad had everything necessary to be a real contender in Broward C ounty’s competitive district 4A-14. The tru st in the coaching staff and exceptional cam araderie were the two com ponents that would lead to the kind of season that everyone in the baseball program desired.

ow, what a season! Despite the team consisting mostly of freshm en, the softball girls actually had a w inning record - a feat that hasn’t been achieved in Pine Crest history. This season w ouldn’t have been what it was w ithout everyone’s individual contribution to the team. The team included the speedy Skylar Pollock, who still has to fight her sister to see who is the better twin, Allie Silitski, who surprisingly didn’t do one of her frustration dances all season, Samantha Soloman, a.k.a. baby stallion, Alii Trebi, the youngest player yet the loudest on the field, the am azing outfield trio of

Karlie, Audi, and Katherine, the person with the best taste in music, Nikki Kone; the constantly singing Tae; and M eredith Kava, who can beat anyone in a sliding contest. Also contributing to their success was the team diva Kyra, pitcher in training Madi, purple haired Diana, the sassy duo of Morgan and Paige, always sm iling Danielle, “W here Is” Elaina, and Sydney “Sreid”. O n a m ore serious note, all of these girls came together with their individual talents to create a better team. They not only became a team, but a family. They would like to thank Coach Thom pson, Coach Kirby, Coach Laura, Coach Brittany, and “Coach A ndrea” for guiding them in the right direction.

eel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, come on Jamaica, it’s volleyball time! The season started along with the annual trip to Jamaica, where the team honed in on their chosen sport. Head coach Albert Sturgeon led the team through rigorous training exercises consisting of chopping wood with bare hands, eating watermelons whole, and ritual hopping over volcanoes. With seven unique seniors, the team finished the training ready to embark on the quest for another undefeated season.

RAISING; U

The boys weightlifting team epitomizes the phrase ‘good things com e in small pa ckag es.’

p, Hep, Jimcarrey, McFlurry, Good Training: these words give more than just encouragem ent to the weightlifters at Pine Crest School. The Pine Crest Weightlifting Team is one of the m ost prestigious program s in school history. The team consisted of both experienced veterans and young potential, and every com petitor on the team increased weight in both the bench press and the clean and jerk. The members of the 2015 team have dedicated countless hours to secure success not only individually, but also as a unit. The Panthers traveled to Am erican Heritage to participate

in large meets with multiple teams, and also hosted some of their own meets in the Pine Crest Weight Room. This year’s weightlifters had more first place victories as a team than those in the past three years combined. Through hardships and perseverance, the weightlifting team competed at the highest level and still managed to have fun.The coaches this year were threeyear Head Coach Rashad Roberts and two-year assistant Karl Nitowski. Pine Crest has amazed South Florida with more talent and more wins in the weight room than ever. The team hopes to get new lifters in upcom ing years.

here’s something special about being part of the Pine Crest Varsity tennis experience. Early on, players learn that the pursuit of a common goal is more rewarding than individual victories, and that team work helps growth and development beyond the boundaries of courts and classrooms. It has been a long journey for the girls’ team. Most have been playing together, as part of the starting lineup, since middle school. Through the years, the team has won District and Regional titles and earned a third place finish in the State tournament in 2013, with Ines de Bracamonte having an undefeated season and winning the #3 singles State title. In the 2014 State tournament Stephanie Taylor finished second in the #1 singles spot and teamed with Kaely Malik to win the #1 doubles title. Since 2014, the team has been selected to compete with other top teams in the National Deco Turf High School Tennis Team Championships. After earning a fourth place finish last year, we are proud to report that the Lady Panthers fought their way into

the finals and placed second in the 2015 national tournament. The boys had a breakout season. Led by junior Sam Dern, this young team has depth and versatility at every position. Seniors Jonah Mishkel and Ismail Ercan, along with juniors Tyler Shevin and Elliot Seckler, sophomore Parsa Hoghooghi and freshmen Chris Kotite and Barret Riley, make up a solid lineup that is sure to contend for titles in the near future. This year, the team came together and bonded quickly with players stating that “joining the tennis team was one of the best decisions I made”, “we fight and win together” and “the tennis team has taught me to be disciplined while working to improve every single day.” The captains expect great things from this talented group. As Ines and Kaely graduate along with Katarina Stevanovich, Jonah and Ismail, they are grateful to have had the opportunity to represent Pine Crest. It has been an experience that they will never forget. They leave with the confidence that the teams will continue to thrive under the leadership of Stephanie Taylor, Danielle Obolevitch, Sam Dern and Elliot Seckler.

ort Lauderdale’s close proxim ity to water and beaches facilitated the creation of Pine Crest’s varsity sailing team. Several PC students have been sailing competitively for their high school careers, and are thrilled Pine Crest has decided to take the team on officially. Because the Pine Crest cam pus does not include a body of water conducive for races and drills, Lauderdale Yacht Club provided boats, a coach, and a practice location. The sailors participated in high school regattas in locations throughout the state, including Sarasota, M artin County, Miami, and Hollywood. C om peting in 420 sailboats,

each crew and skipper worked together in perfect unity to accelerate past the com petition. W indier conditions, over 20 knots, proved more difficult for PC sailors; with a tighter boomvang and hard hiking the boat’s heel became manageable. Similarly, ocean currents created drag that had to be combated in order to round the next mark. Skilled roll tacks in lighter air allowed the sailors to pass other boats during the upwind leg. As seniors, Gen Selden and Emma Tillitski hope that the younger teammates will continue to improve and keep the sailing team afloat. “A sm ooth sea never made a skilled sailor.”

rew is known as a lot of things - a cult, an easy way to get into college or, less commonly, a sport. However, none of these descriptors fully represent what crew is. Rather than being a cult, the crew team is more like a family. D uring regatta season, the team spends more weekends traveling than at home. These trips mean getting the chance to visit great places in Florida like F e 11 s m e r e , Deland, and other such bodies of water in the middle of nowhere. Rowing also mimics the family dynamic because rowers have no tim e for anyone outside of crew. People may argue crew is easy, but in reality, it is anything

but that. Training starts m id-Septem ber for a season that starts in March. This includes countless m orning and afternoon practices all to prepare for a 5-m inute race. A typical practice includes rowing, erging, and campus runs that invade the space of other teams on campus. However, all the effort and times the rowers have said “I cant, I have crew” becom e w orth it when everything comes together during a race. The f e e l i n g these athletes getwhen the boat becomes one and moves fast is unparalleled. The friendships built on the crew team go far beyond the boat, and the time spent on the crew team will stay with this year’s team for the rest of their lives.

ach April, the English D epartm ent gathers together to convert the sacrifice circle into som ething out of Londons Globe Theater. Shakespeare O ut Loud brings together students from every grade to perform scenes from Shakespeare’s m ost famous plays such as Julius Caesar, King Lear, and A M idsum m er N ights Dream. U nder the guidance of the English departm ent, students create a show including comedies, tragedies, monologues recited in a variety of languages ranging from Spanish to Chinese, and even the occasional boy playing Juliet. This festival, more than just an excuse to miss class, is an event designed to appreciate the language Shakespeare has created which is still in use to this day. While

students may not always understand what the actors are saying, if it weren’t for good of Bill, many of the best shows on Netflix wouldn’t have their plots, and Twitter rants would have significantly less #swag. Enthusiastic freshman and lazy seniors, friends, Romans, countrym en alike spent hours memorizing their lines and practicing in crowns and capes in order to bring their own interpretation of these famous pieces to the ears of their audience. Shakespeare O ut Loud gives everyone the chance to step out of their daily routine, to become a tragic hero or cunning villain or silly fool or mad king. All the world’s a stage, but these students are not merely players: they bring a great appreciation for William Shakespeare.

As that date approached, num erous dancers could be seen at any hour of the day in the Palmer Dance Studio, breaking in pointe shoes, sewing their costumes, practicing choreography, or counting their music. The seemingly endless hours of hard work were all contributive to the magic of the opening night, where the audience was immediately captivated as the curtain opened. PC Alum Aaron Robin and Blake Haw thorne joined the cast as guest dancers for the roles of Franz and Dr. Coppelius, respectively. They are a part of the dance family and light up the Stacy Auditorium stage as ifthey never left, rem inding many of the dancers, especially seniors, that the Palmer Dance Studio will always be a second home.

fter weeks of m eticulous planning, the day had finally come for the lower schoolers to experience Science Day. Several activities had been planned for the youngins to experiment with every area of science. Students built cars to learn about physics. The seniors were divided into groups of five lower schoolers and using straws, balloons, and plates, they helped the kids build race cars. At the end of the period, the groups raced the cars. As the day moved along, the environm ental science classes came in to craft animal masks. The kids got a feel for what it was like to live in the wild, with an inform ative lesson about

A p

endangered species. The day came to a close when the biology class came in to create brain caps. The students got to learn how their brains work, discovering the different hemispheres and lobes that make them who they are. The day was also full of funfilled outdoor activities. There was a cotton candy station, and the kids ran around and played with their cars, animal masks, and makebelieve brains. All together, the day was a huge success. The seniors got to give back a little of what they have learned throughout the years in their science classes. In the years to come, PC Science Day will hopefully become a tradition, ready to inspire lower schoolers to pursue science in their future endeavors.

Senior year is a year of both firsfs and lasts. Af Pine Crest, rising to fhe twelfth grade meant receiving class shirts that were more intimidating than dorky, having legitimate authority to skip student store lines or grab Chipotle for lunch, and getting to claim aversions to homework brought on by Senioritis. Senior year meant signing up to take the glossy formal pictures that make everyone look older, and starting to actually feel older with the opening of that first acceptance letter. These exciting beginnings were, however, inextricable from the year's bittersweet endings as students prepared for the years to come. As members of the senior class took their last exams, ate their last Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, and spent their last months in the oft-disregarded Pine Crest uniform, fhe weight of the past four years was truly appreciated. For this year's graduating group, senior year was a year of both firsfs and lasts. Hopefully, the Class of 2015 will be not afraid to look back fondly on both, knowing that fhe mark they made on their high school would be a lasting one. STORY I ALI OSHINSKY

ulture is always a strong tie that binds people together, especially in the Seminole tribe where senior Brianna Blais-Billie has grown up. The rich history of the tribe has always played an important role in their culture. “Since the Seminoles were isolated in the swamp during most of the time our culture was developing, we’re completely different from most other native tribes.” Brianna speaks of the tribes culture with great admiration, emphasizing the artwork as one of her favorite parts. “Our artwork consists of a lot of patchwork, which was invented during the turn of the twentieth century in the swamps, when our women found scraps of fabric and just sewed them together to create intricate designs.” The Seminole history creates an environment very different from their surrounding areas despite constantly interacting with other cultures. “Because tribes recognized through the federal government are semi sovereignties, meaning they are pretty much their own countries within the United States, it’s a

completely different culture coming to school every day from the reservation.” However, this difference has not prevented Brianna from taking part in both American and Seminole cultures. Within the tribe, she actively participates in many events. Last year, she was crowned Junior Miss Seminole in her tribe’s pageant, making Seminole history with her sister, Tia; together, they were the first sisters that reigned together. She describes a moment on the night ending her reign as “probably the best moment ot my life.” She had just finished crowning the new girls when all the council members came on stage and told her and Tia, “you guys are the best princesses we’ve had in my entire time working for the tribe!” Brianna continued, “my culture is really modest, we don’t praise that often... so to get that kind of praise from the council was mind-blowing.” Brianna’s role as part of the Seminole tribe has been a defining part of her identity, creating a foundation of tradition that she hopes to continue to pass down for generations to come.

musement parks are home to the most creative, most imaginative dream-like realities. From Universal Studios to Magic Kingdom, Orlando, Florida houses some of the greatest entertainment attractions in the world. Senior Katie Cooper has channeled her passion for these creative havens into an unconventional hobby and a future career path. Visiting Universal for the first time on a seventh grade class trip got Katie hooked and led her to realize a fundamental dream. “Universal was initially what sparked my interest, but my dream job is to be the creative director at Universal. It’s kind of the person who oversees anything and everything that is being created or modified that’ll be visible to the guests.” Being a true Harry Potter fanatic, Katie and a friend went to the opening of Diagon Valley in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, dressed in a complete

authentic character wardrobe. “My friends and I do everything, not just the robe you can buy, like we wear the knee high socks, the skirt, the shirt, the tie, the cardigan, really everything. Not only was she noticed for her outfit, she was also known tor her reaction to the enchanting and overwhelming fantasies of Harry Potter World. “We actually hold the title for best entrance and best guest reaction to Diagon Alley. Everybody knows who we are now. They’re like, ‘oh, you were the girls that were on the ground crying.” Not only does Katie love experiencing the magic that the themed parks hold, she also wants to share her excitement with everyone else. “Just the special magical moments that I’ve been provided with at Universal have inspired me to want to be able to do the same for other people, not necessarily magical moments, but just working in theme parks in general and being able to create that magic.’

“ MAGICAL MOMENTS...HAVE INSPIRED ME TO W ANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THE SAME FOR OTHER PEOPLE”

ost of the student body knows this duo from their incredible perform ances they p u t on each year at the Playing for Change concert. Izzy and Carson make taking popular songs and transcribing them into violin arrangem ents seem easy. Behind the scences, though, a lot of practicing is involved. “We first played together in 8th grade during a com bined concert between the Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton campuses. We were both the concertm aster of our respective orchestras, so we shared a solo in one of the pieces we played together.” But this orchestral acoustic violin differs quite a bit from the electric violin they use for their live duets. “We kind of just thought that electric music (Wake Me Up) deserved an electric sound.” Having played the electric violin with their band in “Devil Went Down to Georgia” previously, this

choice came easily. C hoosing the songs to play was the difficult part. “W hat song we perform is really dependent on what we think the audience would like to hear. However, som etim es we have diverging views on that, so it ends up that we each individually will write transcriptions of songs that we think will sound good and once they’re w ritten, we play them together to see if we can perform it later.” The rum or mill has been spinning out some interesting stories about the duo’s future, but it turns out some o f the gossip may just be true. “Unfortunately, my parents didn’t let us go up to Tampa to play a live audition, but we are going to be recording a taped audition in the com ing weeks and sending it to America’s Got Talent. Hopefully som eone over there sees it and gives us a cal 1back! ” This super-pair has revolutionized music in an exciting way, pushing their limits and acheiving the inconcievable.

FORT LAUDERDALE S 7 A E N

Any Pine Crest Lifer has spent 14 years of his or her life as part of the PC community. That’s World War I and World War II added together, and then enough time left over to attend college for 4 years. However, while being a much longer endeavor than two of the most gruesome wars man has ever fought, Pine Crest tends to be significantly less gruesome. From classmates peeing on stage during rehearsal, to going through their awkward stages, lifers have gone through every uphill battle together. Some things were a pain, like eating in a tent for a year, or having to say goodbye to their pet iguana, Spike. But the majority of every lifers memories are nothing but laughs and good times. No one will ever forget the kindergarten Thanksgiving show, jump rope for heart, or compound word day. Or when they all dressed up like old people for the 100th day of school, an activity nostalgically repeated senior year. The class was motivated to run for their lives by getting toe tags in PE, and the best part of every day was at the playground with the beloved giant tree - better known as base during tag. Their lives were documented thoroughly in fifth grade, although they were less than thankful for it at the time. As the underachievers finished Mrs. Mulaney’s scrapbooks with a measly A+++, they turned to the next chapter of their lives: middle school. This was the time to get shiny new computers and finally try out new keyboarding skills, taught by Mrs. Kashner. In middle school, Coach Shanahan tried to teach them a lot about their health, and thanks to Ms. Reda, they all graduated the eighth grade as true global citizens. It might be a little sad that all of the lifers are going to different corners of the country, but reunions are going be even better because of this. Imagine the people in the studio the very first time Biggie Smalls recorded “Hypnotize” in 1997. Now substitute all of the people in the studio with middle/upper class privately educated college kids. Now lastly substitute Biggie Smalls for Glen Pierson, who has promised he will be a friendly guest presence. That’s the kind of #Hype that Pine Crest lifers all have to look forward to ten years down the road. Hopefully, they’ll find ways to stay entertained in college until that fateful day when John Kranstover sends them their first care package. The Fort Lauderdale kids would like to leave all of their fellow lifers with a quote that very dear to them. As a good friend once said, “Boca kids are not and will never be real lifers.”

In for rhe long haul, Pine CresL Lifers reminisce the pasf 14 years fogefher af rhe Pine. A

Lifers are accustomed to the shocked reaction that accompanies the mentic attending the same school for over a decade. In reality, though, Pine Cre U much more than just a place where students learned their core subjects. F / % Boca lifers, Pine Crest is defined by a set of experiences that unified them for the majority of their lives. At lunch, they ate the holy gift of the sacred chicken patty and drank either chocolate milk or the absurdly fluorescent juice beverage known as A “iceberry blue.” They looked forward to having in-class celebrations for their birthdays, marching around during Halloween parades, taking hayrides and passing blanketed bunnies during Fall jM Fun Day, and receiving their designated destiny on a Field Day team. Some of them had their early glory days playing kickball in the gym or singing as “Cool Cats.” Boca lifers > TJjjSj dressed as insects and farm animals during the second grade Environmental Show and m&h later effectively proved that “Everybody Has Music Inside.” Their cultural prowess was only heightened by Finer Points, in which they became the classiest polkadancing lower schoolers in all the land. When they weren’t on campus, Boca lifers were exploring the Kennedy Space Center, St. Augustine, the Everglades, or Washington D.C. (where they all contracted a suspicious strain of what jgjg can only be described as the Bubonic plague). After the Bar/Bat Mitzvah Jkgrmania of seventh grade, eighth grade rolled around and they knew their j p H H h Q h HHM time at Boca was coming to a close. Soon it would be time to encounter the urban legend of “Fort Lauderdale Kids”; they waved goodbye PRESTON to their Boca campus and relocated to their new home in Fort AK BA Lauderdale. As the class of 2015 now prepares to embrace the next journey in their lives, they remember the words of theneighth grade graduation song: “A chapter ending but the A | story’s onlyjust begun/The page is turning for everyone.” yfm d PgCL . s ’■ I I I " I I I -

enior Sydney Landers has been riding and com peting with horses for as long as she can remm eber. Overtim e, her relationship with each of her eight horses has gotten m ore personal, so training for com petitions is a very deliberate and individual process. “You work slowly. They’re sm art but they need time- you have to ease them into things and continually teach them how to do one thing.” Sydney explains that patience is a huge com ponent to working with horses, “one skill can take over a week for the horses to master, but once they have it, it’s hard to forget.” Also, since Sydney com petes in high status national com petitions that

are extremely hard to qualify for, even m ore patience is required. In order to qualify for nationals, she m ust attend a showing where she proves to a panel of judges her basic com petition skills. “You need a certain num ber of points for each thing you do. You need to control your horse well and make him do everything properly- like walking, trotting, and cantering, and show that riding the horse is easy.” Sydney sure makes it look easy, even holding a few national cham pionship titles. Although she doesn’t think the Olympics are in the cards for her “because of too much anxiety,” she hopes to continue showing her horses, and com peting for as long as she can.

or many, the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” has probably been the most recurring and daunting ever posed. Responses like “firefighter” turn into “doctor” and we’ve everyone has had that phase where they wanted to be whatever their parents were. For a lucky few, the answer doesn’t really change. Senior Alexa Bertrand has been inspired by music since before she could remember. “My mom told me I was singing before I could talk.” Her parents quickly placed her in classical music lessons after realizing the immense, untapped talent in their tiny child. As Alexa grew, she realized that classical music was definitely not her niche. “As I grew older, I became more interested in pop and mainstream music, so I started to venture more in that direction.” Talented in various areas ot the music industry, Alexa continued to develop her talent for singing, performing, songwriting, and even the piano and guitar which she taught herself. After passing through a country music phase in which she was featured in songs M

by a band that played regularly at cafes and small music venues, Alexa now finds herself involved in the electronic music genre. Finding her niche in Electronic Dance Music (EDM), she created a blog to further explore her interest while sharing it with the rest of the world. “People always said they liked my taste in music and always thought 1gave them good suggestions on what to listen to, so I thought I could share that with other people by making a blog.” With over 9,000 followers, Alexa’s blog, yourfavoriteedm. tumblr.com features new artists and songs that have not yet reached the mainstream, making it the go-to place for anyone interested in improving their music library. Her ear for spotting new music brings freshness to her followers who constantly ask her for music suggestions and criticisms. Hoping to continue on her path of music well into the future, Alexa answers the age-old question with “I plan to major in marketing in college and my ideal type of job would be to do marketing for some music label or festival. That would be a dream for me.”

With grace and agility, Katrina Hayes-M acaluso reaches new heights in competih/e gymnastics.

STO R Y I LISA ZH EU TLIN

atrina Hayes began her gymnastics career in a less than conventional way. Two-year-old Katrina was just looking for some blueberry pie when she revealed a hidden talent. After her mom saw her climb her fence in search of her neighbor’s pie, she decided it was time to put Katrina in gymnastics lessons. (C Clearly precocious, she excelled in almost all areas of gymnastics, which would propel her to great success as she matured as an athlete. Fifteen years later, she’s a competitive gymnast. Katrina breaks down how competitions work. “At a competition, there are four events- vault, bars, beam, and floor, The judges give you points based on the difficulty of your routine and how well you execute it.” Describing her proudest moment in gymnastics Katrina says, “My proudest moment would be getting my Junior Olympic

Certificate. That’s when you finish levels eight and nine when you’re competing for states.” Though success has been common in her career, she has definitely pushed through her share of adversity. Last year, Katrina suffered injuries that halted her gymnastics career. Dislocating her thumb and her knee, her body has definitely taken a toll. “I think I’ll do different club sports in college. I don’t think my body could handle another year of competitive gymnastics.” Although competing in gymnastics isn’t in her future, her passion for the sport with definitely continue with her. “I’m going to keep coaching on weekends and during the summer and stuff. I teach levels two and three. Even though I probably won’t continue with gymnastics, I’ll definitely continue with that.” Now, Katrina can shape the next generation of precocious two year okk-in..i^:irrh Qf pie.

hether it is breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there is always a dish that can be m ade to satisfy. There are endless com binations of ingredients used in order to make the perfect plate. However, there are only a select num ber of people that have what it takes to create unique, m outhw atering recipes; senior Marco Levy is one of these people. At a young age, Marco was inspired by the famous chefs on the Food Network, kickstarting his cooking career. Inventing his own recipes comes naturally to Marco. All he has to do is think. “I make them all up. I don’t bake anything, because you have to measure, but I just try to think of som ething and I know

what flavor I want it to be, so I make it up as I go.” But with so m any recipes, picking a favorite proves difficult. “I w ouldn’t say I have a favorite course or food though. Maybe fried chicken, I love fried chicken.” Despite not m aking his own fried chicken, M arco has m ade courses that have been crowd pleasers. “I m ade two sit down dinners with eight courses in each one. Actually, one was eight and one was six. The last one I did, I had crunchy rice, three different types of spicy tuna, fish tacos with fried avocado, risotto with three sauces.” In the future, M arco hopes to continue working with food and creating new dishes. “I want to own restaurants, but you never know w hat’ll happen.”

ost students struggle with their futures, even after deciding on their majors in college, but Elizabeth Donoway knows exactly the path she wants to take. Since early on, she knew she wanted to be involved with space. After taking an astronomy class in eighth grade and a physics class in ninth, she realized her truly calling. She wanted to be an astrophysicist. “Taking physics furthered my interest in the field because I figured out kind of more of the stuff that actually exists.” Elizabeth is willing to put in the work and push

herself to achieve her goals, and negative comments are not going to stand in her way. Even though this isn’t a common profession for most teenagers to strive for, Elizabeth is determined to pursue her career to find out how the world really works. She is most intrigued by space because of the many unknown facts still out there since “there are so many different theories about it, but we don’t actually know anything about most of the stuff that happens. I just think it’s cool to discover stuff.” Look out in the future for Elizabeth Donoway when she discovers something “out of this world!”

As inspiration for kicking off her political activism Brooke cites 0 the Chick-Fil-A debate last year. “It made me realize that there are still people who are anti-gay out there. « That’s really where it originated.” Since the summer after her sophomore year, she has been building her niche in the political world. She started off working in Lois Frankels district office. Despite being “the baby in the office,” she familiarized herself with the ins and outs of the worlds ot these congressmen and was even able to meet Congressman Kennedy at the Capitol building to discuss same sex marriage. She was also interviewed by what she referred to as “some obscure Boston radio

show.” Elated, yet still taken aback by the incredible opportunities that abounded during her summer stays in the nations capital, Brooke speaks with humility and a strong desire to spark discussion, “[a woman from the station] called me and said, ‘I’d love to interview you about same sex marriage!’ I was like, Am I really qualified to speak about that? But they wanted to talk to me because I’m a child of a same sex couple, so I did that.” The topics of women’s rights and gay marriage are what inspire Brooke the most. Admitting to be “a pretty big feminist,” Brooke dreams ot fighting for the rights of women and gays as a future Congresswoman. “I want to become some sort of congressional member. I’d prefer to be in the Senate but you know, baby steps.” On the path Brooke is on, it seems like her steps are more like leaps. Who knows, she might end up representing the rest of us on Capitol Hill one day.

he Class of 2015 is a class of “ands”: the most united and the most independent, the oldest in years and the youngest at heart, the greatest looking and the most intelligent, the best and the boldest in PC history. Pine Crest has been their playground and their home. And, it’s finally time to leave the nest. In order to completely understand the true glory of the Class of 2015 s ascent to the top, it’s necessary to rewind the clock. Brace faces lining the halls, the first day of freshman year was filled with fear of the unknown. The other classes seemed to bask fruitfully in their apparent reign, but little did they know what was coming their way. As the group learned quickly with the glares that accompanied wearing the neon yellow class shirt, the Class of 2015 was born to make a statement. Clad in blinding neon, the class united to become a sea of yellow - a force to be reckoned with. Serene and dangerous, the sea knew when to be what. Calm and collected, they slyly over-counted mistakes for a batch of Mrs. Wing’s cookies, staked out the Spanish wing halls before entering, and even avoided being run over by Mr. Scheidegger’s unicycle. Fierce and daring, they retaliated when water balloons were thrown at them during homecoming, danced in banana suits, and even sought up the courage to take an upperclassman to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. As sophomore year approached, the Pine was beginning to feel like home. The Class .< of 2015 was molding the Pine’s once daunting, now comforting brick-covered walls. Spirit f and unity brought the class its first spirit stick; laughter and shock came after Mrs. Powell dished on her secret plan for lock downs. Tears of fear and joy were shed as they were chased by chainsaw-bearing monsters at Halloween H orror Nights. Junior year was a blur of SAT prep and refusing to do the mounds of work that would pile up until there was no choice but to do it (but let’s not try to remember that). Then finally, but all too suddenly, the years that everyone had always said were going to be “the best four years of your life” seemed like a blur. But the Class of 2015, along with being the best and boldest, is also the brightest. They realize the power in the good times. Memories are more than just stories to pass down through generations. For the Class of 2015, the memories made in these salmon-pink hallways are like thread, connecting the class forever, regardless of where each individual might end up. Each thread, each person, is a vital com ponent to the final masterpiece — a compilation of the four precious years spent between the bricks.

“ A COMPILATION OF THE FOUR PRECIOUS YEARS SPENT BETWEEN THE BRICKS.”

For some, green and white will always continue to bleed through their veins even after leaving these hallowed halls. For others, the green and white will flow when they turn the channel to see that a m ember of the Class of 2015 has cured cancer. For some, something somewhere will remind them of the few things that all of us shared. Although each person was fated a different path, everyone got a dose of the Pine’s teachers. Mr. Kashdan nodded his head ever so slightly to Metallica between bells on test day. Life lessons were passed on with Sra. Zingg. Racism was ranted about in Madame Pirson’s class. Dr. Wu’s unmatched accents and hand gestures captivated. Mr. Clark was feared for about 5 minutes, and then revered. Crispitos were investigated, cookies consumed (thanks Mary Ellen!), chemistry shirts tie-dyed, rolling cheese devoured, dress codes broken, and history made. On average, each member of the Class of 2015 has climbed 250,000 stairs, taken 280 tests, won 14 sports games, read 20 entire textbooks, and has come to 2520 days of school. While accomplishments abound and statistics impress, the most remarkable quality in the Class of 2015 is its unity - a sense of camaraderie that won a historical spirit stick three-peat. This class is unbeatable, powerful, and determined, a perfect em bodiment of the word “transcend.” Defined, the word means “to be or go beyond the range or limits of something.” Whatever obstacle in the way, overcoming it and prospering comes as second nature to this class. Going beyond the concrete and uniting in the process is evidence that the Class of 2015 is the best class that will ever have the pleasure of learning and growing within the walls of the Pine. The Class of 2015 has loved, hated, navigated, feared, challenged, and inspired together. They all loved Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, all hated the bathroom mirrors, all navigated through obstacles, all feared the inside of a crispito, all challenged conventions, and all inspired each other. Whatever was done, was done together. It can be said that the Pine Crest experience was a rollercoaster, exciting and terrifying and stressful and thrilling. Through the uphill slopes and the steep drops, through the corkscrews and flips, the Class of 2015 has stayed together, all hands and feet in the vehicle. While the ride is approaching its end, getting off and moving on to the next ride is a part of life these them e-park frequenting Floridians know to be necessary. In the end, what made the rollercoaster incredible were the people alongside them, crying and screaming and laughing. Although goodbye is bittersweet, the next challenge awaits and the Class of 2015 could not be more ready. So here’s to the memories made. Here’s to the last four years. Onward, upward, we will soar. Class of 2015, it’s been an incredible ride.

Indubitably, th e c o n n e c tio n s will always be there. W h eth er seam less o r loosely th re a d e d , th e c o n n e c tio n s sh ared betw een th e m e m b e rs o f th is class will always stay b o u n d e d . Everyone knows it’s im p o ssib le to escape the Pine altogether.

There's no other place like Pine Crest, made up of7so many little things coming together to create a place where everyone feels safe. Pine Crest is the people in the halls who smile even when it's early on a Thursday, and wheezes at the top of the third floor when the history wing is finally in sight. It's lining up outside the school store after smelling freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. It’s chanting class names at assemblies, even though the freshmen know they will be booed every time, or yelling as people cut the never-ending line on Cypress. It's the ones who have taken the time to make this school such an amazing place to be, to laugh, and to have grown up. When alumni look back on their years spent at the Pine, it will be a reflection of great memories and knowledge that could have been gained at no other place. The experiences this school has given are, truly and simply, timeless.

Some of PCs mosf talented spenf tee year creating their favorite masterpieces. scar Wilde once said, “A rt is the m ost intense m ode of individualism that the world has known.” Visual Arts students at Pine Crest are individuals indeed. Each art student has som ething novel to offer the world, and the teachers in the art departm ent do everything they can to aid their students’ journeys to finding their calling. No two students make the same art because no two students have the same experiences. Once inspired, the artists at Pine Crest are some of the m ost dedicated and hard-w orking people on campus, and can often be found working on their pieces between classes and during their free periods. Seniors like Claudia M alone and Sam Breakstone are two such artists, spending hours perfecting their impressive photorealistic works whenever there’s time. Pine Crests art offerings include drawing, sculpture, and

2D classes. Pine Crest’s AP art students are arguably some of the hardest workers on campus, having to complete at least one piece a week to complete a portfolio of twentyfour pieces. Speaking with a Pine Crest art student allows insight into a unique artistic concentration, such as senior A ndrea Cureton’s gorgeous sculptures out of unconventional materials, such as pages from a book, or plastic wrap. Regardless of w hether a person considers art a hobby or is interested in pursuing it as a career, participating in art classes gives students the opportunity for escape and release. Both AP artists and casual artists are free to enjoy the program s offered at Pine Crest. Students at Pine Crest are talented, interesting, and diverse individuals, and art is the best possible way to express and show off their individualism to the world.

1 nd were on in 3...2 ... (CUE ANCHOR A SHOT)... PCTV starts now.” JfaA Just as the sun broke over the clouds and the last ■ ■ drops of dew evaporated from the grass, there was already chaos in the PCTV studio as the crew prepared for the day ahead. Most mornings were filled with Mrs. Rashbaum checking scripts while Hunter uploaded last weeks show, and a horde of dedicated ^ students sitting on the couch as they furiously jotted down notes about the newest Lynda video. Just kidding—whoever was on the couch most likely wasn’t doing anything. Despite the rumors, though, the crew actually spent most of their time this year hard at work. Justin and Tai somehow pulled off an entire year of sports broadcasts despite their lack of knowledge about anything sports related. The film crew was featured on MTV’s website for winning an award at the All-American High School Film Festival. The team even managed to record a weekly or two (maybe). In April, the team hopped on a plane to LAX, sans cardigans,

for the Student Television Network competition. The crew sported the chicest clothes and the sharpest DSLR’s to make an impression on the west coast crowd. Seemingly overnight, San Diego was overrun with the fiercest, most creative, and best-dressed teenagers across the country (plus Hawaii, obviously) for a variety of cutthroat film and broadcast competitions. Of course, there may or may not have been some shopping... (Cue happy touristy sequence while semi-recognizable pop anthem plays in background)... Then, almost without warning, Media Night rolled around, and a crowd of proud parents and peers flooded the ICI to honor the multitalented group. The crowd chuckled at the bloopers and delighted at the year’s successes, and some even shed a tear or two at the thought of losing this year’s group of seniors (SPOTTED: Mr. Burgess!). The year came to a close, and faded to black. Just like any great movie, the time spent as part of the PCTV crew left those involved wanting more. (CUE O UTTRO)

he Pine Crest Symphonic W inds, lead by Dr. C hris Cicconi, is a great way for m ore than 80 Pine Crest Students to start their day. Instead of starting off the day with a boring lecture or taking a test, band gives the students a stress-free first period. Dr. C, or as he likes to be called, coach, leads a vigorous, nononsense rehearsal. Dr. C picks music that is on the edge of the student’s abilities, and holds each musician accountable for his or her part. There are occasional playing

tests. Every year the concert band participates in the Florida Bandmasters Association Musical Performance Assessment, where bands from around Florida perform for judges and receive a score from poor to superior. In Dr. C’s first two years as Pine Crest’s band director, Pine Crest has received both an Excellent (the second highest score) and a Superior. The Pine Crest Symphonic W inds is a program that, under Dr. C’s direction, is growing and will continue to grow over the coming years.

way to describe Pine Crest Upper School Orchestra in one word would be this: discipline. In most classes, when the bell rings signaling first period, students are still shuffling in, yawning, checking their phones. This year, Orchestra was not like most classes. This years musicians achieved behavioral perfection through Ms. Shapiro’s successful leadership tactic of rule by fear. Each morning, the musicians broke into a nervous sweat as they heaved open the door of the FAB. Many thoughts rushed through their minds, including anxiety about Ms. Shapiro having messed up their bagel orders, if Ms. Esparza would throw cough drops at them, and whether Elexa Perlman would be so cute that it would cause physical pain. This harsh environm ent made this orchestra

arguably better than the New York Philharmonic. As a whole, they had near perfect intonation, which shone especially bright when they reached the third octave of their w arm -up scales. They never played when it was not time to play; they never spoke when it was not time to speak. The orchestra would like to thank Ms. Shapiro for being best director they will ever have, and the sweetest woman they will ever know. They are thankful for her support, hard work, and patience throughout the year. They would also like to recognize the second violins, the glue that held this orchestra together. Though seniors Jack and Andie were sad to leave the most talented section of all time, they knew that they were leaving the group in good hands with Shiv as their new leader.

“THIS HARSH ENVIRONMENT MADE THIS ORCHESTRA ARGUABLY BETTER THAN THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC”

While they may have sparred over different ideas on arguments, or different stylistic issues, they all took to heart that when one wins they all win, and when one loses they all lose.

The year was filled with countless memories of StuCo sponsored events, such as a spirited homecoming week, a Threepeat win of the Spirit Stick from the seniors, and incredible pep rally, an exciting tailgate with rally towels, the first annual school wide cookie exchange, an extremely fun Sadie Hawkins dance featuring Chipotle, and an incredible week to celebrate diversity on campus. Pine Crests 2014-2015 StuCo changed the way students participate in school events and inspired a love for school activities and school pride.

cience Research is one of the m ost unique and interesting program s available at Pine Crest, however people often don’t understand what really goes on within it. All the talk of knockins, knock-outs, and cell signaling pathways may get complicated, but the students in research are united by sim ilar qualities and a com m on interest in the pursuit of scientific discovery. Each year, eight students from the freshm an class are selected to join the Science Research family for the rem aining three years of high school. Soon after being selected, they get to experience their first of four Colloquium s, where the current m em bers talk about their research, throw ing out scientific term s that no one in the audience has

actually heard before. Seniors may rem em ber being terrified at their first Colloquium but now, having come full circle and completed their research as well as many presentations, they can’t wait to see what the new freshman class can create. Some experiences Science Research wouldn’t be the same w ithout include things varying from lab work to the Cabot Lodge to Boston Bagels on bus trips and even to foodfilled Science Cafes. Most exciting of all, though, is the experience of contributing to this small com m unity of 24 sophomores, juniors, and seniors. This year’s graduating group knows everyone they are leaving behind in this program will accomplish great things in the years to come!

TO ALL THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE THAT HELPED THIS BOOK COME TO LIFE: To the novice eye, the yearbook might seem like merely a compilation of memories. To the yearbook staff that has meticulously slaved over every detail of this book for what seems like a lifetime the yearbook is something akin to a work ot art. Hand sculpted by an incredible group of writers, photographers, and designers, this book has come to life, not magically, but through hours and hours of hard work and dedication. The unforgettable experience we have all shared has allowed us to grow both individually and together as a staff. Each and every one of you has contributed more than you know to bringing this book to life and we cannot thank you enough.

TO OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS: Without your photos, we’ll be the first to admit that the yearbook would be little more than a pamphlet. The quality in the images you capture have helped us tell the hundreds of stories that fill this book and for that we are ever grateful. We are so proud of the dedication in our photographers as well as the unmatched talent that abounds in this truly special group. We cannot wait to see the beautiful pictures that will grace next year’s book. TO OUR W RITERS: We are constantly blown away by the talent in this year’s writing. Whether you are part of the yearbook staff or not, you have added a tangible layer of memories to this book that is unparalleled in any other medium. Although the unconventional third person writing was a challenge, you all conquered it with beauty and poise. Thank you for filling our blank pages with words. JODIE: Your eagerness to work and your undeniable passion for writing has been evident since the day you set foot in the yearbook room. The drive you have to do everything you can for this year’s writing to be successful has truly set you apart and will prove valuable in any of your future endeavors. Your positivity radiated, inspiring us all. We are excited to see what you do next year! CAROLINA: Dedicated, enthusiastic, reliable. You have really outdone yourself this year, impressing us all. Your work is unmatched. Whenever we receive a batch of your photos, we are astounded by the caliber of your work. Your images transform our pages like you have our staff this year. We have no doubt that you will do incredible things in the future. BRITTANY: Your photos are incredible. The time you put into editing is truly evident throughout. Receiving images from you is always a treat, as we know they will be ready to be placed. We wish you the best in the years to come; we know you will do great things. IVANNA: We cannot thank you enough for being Index Editor. We know it is no easy job, and for that we are truly grateful. The index is an extremely important part of a yearbook, and without you, this final piece of the puzzle would have never been complete. You really stepped up to the plate at the end of the year and came through with unparalleled dedication, thank you. ALLY & ALI: Your managerial and writing skills came together for a successful year. As hard as it was, you guys really pulled through. Whether it was meeting deadlines, or simply editing pieces, you guys were an extremely vital component to this book. Thank you for all the work you put in, it was truly appreciated.

2Q2 i

LINDSAY: Making you our Graphics Editor was the single best decision we made for this yearbook. Your contributions to the book are astounding. The talent you have for graphic design is beyond the scope of what anyone our age is doing. You managed to balance approximately 10 activities and still made masterpieces. Let’s just say that if this yearbook was a baby (which we might argue it pretty much is), it’s middle name would be Lindsay. Thanks for all that you’ve done and here’s to many years of friendship ahead of us. ISABELLE: Your abounding talent and insurmountable work ethic made this yearbook. The countless hours you poured into doing everything and anything you could helped make this year incredible. Whether we walked into you freaking out about a video of a baby goat falling over or jamming to a Beyonce playlist on repeat, we were always in for a laugh. Thank you for making this year an incredible success. Good luck at BC. We know you’ll do great things. MRS. KENNEDY: Starting the year off we had no idea what was coming. Your relentless support helped make this yearbook a success. You helped us through every obstacle we were confronted with. Whether it was making sure we had dinner on those late workdays or organizing our New York trip, you always advocated for our success, and for that we are incredibly grateful. Second semester, we really missed you. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for us. We couldn’t have done it without you. MRS. METZGER: We cannot begin to thank you enough for your contributions to our book. You have made what could have been a nerve-wracking second semester, a seamless and pleasant one. Thank you for appeasing us when we needed it most. Your constant desire to help us succeed has inspired us to work even harder. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you. REBECCA: You have come such a long way in the past two years. From being the ‘Baby Yerd’ to one of the head staff members, you have truly proven yourself. Your hard work and dedication have paid off throughout the year. You are eager and always ready to work. We know that your hard work both in yearbook and in life will help you become the next Derek Shepard. Your eye for aesthetics is unparalleled and we cannot wait to see what you do in the years to come. Whether it means ranting for hours about who knows what or lugging around textbooks to read for fun, we know that your personality will take you far. LINDSEY: We’re unceasingly impressed with your eagerness to do whatever it takes to succeed. Whether it means captioning, tracking down people for photos or interviews, or even indexing, you’re always up for the job. We cannot begin to express how much we appreciate all that you’ve done to make this book successful. You were always in the room even when you didn’t need to be and that unparalleled drive will be a vital quality in your future success. Long live the weekends when staring at the computer screen so long had us falling off our chairs laughing at baseball captions. While we are sad to leave, we know we are leaving the yearbook in capable hands. We hope next year brings great success.

Although Pine Crest is all about the academics, the clubs on cam pus are the backbone. They keep students engaged and active, learning outside or the classroom with such a wide diversity of student organizations to meet the needs or a diverse school. From groups relating to social activism and drama to organ donation and computer science, there's a club for everyone. Clubs are more than just bake sales and charity drives - they are opportunities for students to explore their interests and come up with new ideas as they pursue the extracurriculars which intrigue them.

As much as s[uden[s would love to say they abend Pine Crest for toe incredible cookies at toe school store, in reality, it’s ( toe talented faculty that keeps them coming back to learn more. These are the people who have the power to make \ students love a subject, the patience to teach, and passion \ to change a class's view of the world. Some of this year's \ faculty have worked at Pine Crest for over 20 years, while \ others have just recently become a part of the Pine Crest \ family. This family reaches outside the classrooms, \ including those who work hard to fill the halls with \ spirit while making the school a better place. As much \ complaining that goes on about toe next test or \ newest lesson, every student knows that high school \ would not be the same without the incomparable \ Pine Crest faculty.

Q: YOU WERE A TEACHER BEFORE BECOMING AN ADMINISTRATOR. WHAT EXACTLY MADE YOU WANT TO BECOME A TEACHER? A: I had a phenomenal experience here at PC, and that is what inspired me to become a teacher. A school allows you to be involved in a variety of outlets for expression... There’s a sense of purpose and passion that people have for their subject matters, and the desire to help people and grow a community. That’s what I want for our teachers—to be here, to be invested, happy, positive and encouraging... And being a part of that is something special. Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOUR JOB? A: By far it’s interaction with students, it always has been. The teachers and parents are great, but it’s the kids that inspire m e... because I went into teaching to teach and to be an advocate for kids. Q: WHAT'S THE MOST SURPRISING^ THING THAT YOU'VE FOUND. COMING INTO THE UPPER SCHOOL? A: Honestly the biggest surprise is that the kids are driving their own train more than I expected... I feel like in the Upper School parents have realized that kids need to spread their own wings and go out on their own... And that’s a refreshing thing to see. Q: IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WISH YOU KNEW WHEN YOU WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT YOU WOULD TELL US? A: The advice would be that the sacrifice you make today, although it may be challenging, can reap so many more benefits later on. I don’t want any of you to look back on your time here and say, “I could have done more.” Q: HOW IS STUDENT LIFE DIFFERENT THAN WHEN YOU WERE HERE? A: I think things are more competitive now. I think you all handle the high expectations well, however, and impress us time and time again. Q; DO YOU HAVE ANY TRADITIONS YOU HOPE TO BRING BACK? A: We used to make homecoming floats, and they used to drive around the track, and the nominees for Homecoming Queen used to be driven around in a convertible... But the floats were something that brought the grades together, and each grade level developed their own... So that was something neat, maybe we could look at a way of doing that again... It was something that I definitely have a lot of fond memories of. Q: DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ON BRINGING A WEEK OF HOMECOMING BACK? A: Yes, this year, unfortunately, we didn’t have a full week because of the SAT, but there’s no reason why we can’ t have more festivities and opportunities to show school spirit and have fun... cause I think you guys work really hard, and to have that release time and ability to just let your hair down and have fun is really good for you! Q: IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY TO THE UPPER SCHOOL STUDENTS? A: I have seen the school through the eyes of a student, a teacher, an administrator, a parent, and a faculty member’s son...and all of those different vantage points have solidified my belief in and my love for the school. I hope that every single one of us realize how truly lucky we are to be here. I know that may sound cheesy, but I’ve worked in California in a low-income public school and it’s very, very different... So I would just encourage everybody to get involved, take advantage of the resources we have, and be positive. So be happy and understand how fortunate we are. And believe me, as a student, I didn’t realize that... I get it, I get needing to get away from Fine Crest and spreading your wings after graduation, but it really is a tremendous place, as graduates and alums realize very quickly.

Enjoying 19 new teachers, the Pine has truly outdone itself this school year. A new teachers recount rheir "favorite and most surprising aspects of PC." “Students in AP classes strive to go above and beyond to tackle fhe intricacies of the content. In doing so, they embrace out of the box thinking which is so pivotal in today's world." - Dr. Miller

"Prior fo coming to Pine Cresf I was af Nova Soufheasfern where I didn't get to see my students five times a week. Having the rime to get to know the students has definitely been my favorite part.” - Ms. Carbonara

“I am consistently impressed by the self-efficacy of the students here. The school culture facilitates a belief fhaf they are capable of enacting change and solutions to the problems they identify in fhe world." - Mrs. Everett

“If you leave somefhing in fhe hall or on fhe floor oufside or under a free one day, fhe objecf - be it a pair of shoes, headphones, or a laptop - will be there (exactly where you left if!) the next day. I have never seen that before in my life." - Mr. Curran

'The strong sense of community here af Pine Crest is unlike anything I've ever experienced. Such a great network of support.” - Mr. Amefrano

“The students say ‘thank you' whenever they leave class. It is a nice gesture from fhe students who are not only appreciative of the work you put in as their teacher, but also appreciative of the challenges that we push our students to meet each and every day. If is not forced, but geniune. Showing gratitude is a small gesture, but if means fhe world to those we direct if to wards. If inspires me to work even harder for my students and is probably the single most important reason why any of us chose teaching.” - Mr. Ricard

"Esprit de corps —not only do they have it, they actually know what it means.” - Dr. Wille

"My most memorable moment was when I received fhe award from an anonymous Pine Crest family for dedication and compassion towards Pine Crest students and commitment to the mission of our school.... that made me feel so proud of being a part of making our students successful. What I will miss fhe most when I retire is the energy, optimism, and spirit that I get from my students each and every day. This is what has kept me "young at heart" over the past 40 years!"

After d e c a d e s af fhe Pine, these retirees have truly left their mark. Mrs. Powell an d Mrs. Freedm an rem inisce on their favorite Pine Crest m em ories.

"During my 27 years af the Pine, I have faughf and come to know so many terrific kids. I am so proud of their contributions to my world. This is what I am going to miss fhe most.”
