Teachers disagree on definition of cheating Punishments for cheating include refusal to write recommendations and AP score cancellation. Story by Priyanka Dev

“I know it was Da Vinci.”

“No… it was definitely Michelangelo.”

These were the lines that started a discussion between two juniors following the multiple- choice section of the Advanced Placement Art History exam. Students did not hesitate exchanging answers after their AP exams according to students interviewed by The Eye. Over 200 students sat down within the last two weeks to take standardized exams. After each one, students agreed to the following statement from the AP Boardʼs testing manual: “I will not discuss these questions with anyone at any time after the completion of the multiple-choice section. Failure to adhere to this may result in the cancellation of my AP scores.”

Despite the threat of score cancellation, many students violated the College Board rules and discussed exam questions outside of the exam room. AP Coordinator Erik Torjesen said that neither students nor proctors officially reported violations of the AP student agreement. The AP Board will never know about these violations.

“We know it goes on, but all we can do is reiterate the rules over and over again if no one officially reports it.” Torjesen said. “In theory, though, we would report this to the Office of Testing Integrity and their grades would be cancelled.”

This exam experience draws attention to the academic dishonesty that has plagued SAS for many years.

In a 2003 poll conducted by The Eye, 57 percent of students admitted to cheating. In the same survey on cheating, 88 percent admitted to at least one “questionable” activity such as plagiarizing a small part of an essay or copying homework.

Some teachers say the situation is no different today.

“If you walk into the library, or if you walk into the halls, people are just [cheating] blatantly everywhere,” English teacher Mark Guggisberg said.

Guggisberg recently punished students in one of his AP English Language classes for revealing quiz material to students in a later class.

He said he was shocked to find out about the cheating, and he decided to handle the situation internally instead

of reporting to Deputy Principal David Norcott.

“I was disappointed in the seniors and I told the juniors that I would not write them letters of recommendation,” Guggisberg said.

When asked why he did not make two different tests, Guggisberg said that doing so was not his responsibility.

“There should be a level of trust because they are taking the quizzes to be prepared for the exam.”

Guggisberg said that students should be compelled to sign an honor code to deter students from cheating.

“If we are going to build the Character Education Program and make character as important as writing and speaking, we need to make it [cheating] a big deal,” Guggisberg said, referring to next yearʼs proposed school-wide goals.

While he sees sharing answers between classes as unethical, Guggisberg is one of the few teachers who actually encourages students to utilize apcentral.com as a source for test preparation. AP Central was created by the College Board as a resource for educators interested in or involved with the Pre-AP or AP Programs. Large numbers of SAS students this year accessed old AP questions from the site, registering with fictitious teacher names.

Guggisberg said that students that take the time to access apcentral.com and prepare are being resourceful.

“AP Central is a site that everybody can access whose goal is to get teachers to prepare kids,” Guggisberg said. “In the end, whether it is me going in as a professor or it is a student using it as fictitious teacher, the result is that students are better prepared for the exam.”

Math teacher Ian Page agrees that AP Central is a legitimate resource. He distributed the website to his students the day before the AP Physics B exam. Page justifies distributing the website address, saying that students should all be given the same advantage.

“If one student has an unfair advantage, all students should be given than advantage,” Page said.

“It is better to let everyone be on the same playing field.”

Discussion groups on the website indicate that educators and site managers are aware that the site is being used by students. Nothing has yet been created as a mechanism to block students from the using the website.

“The College Board [AP Central] website is not well maintained,” Page said. “There are loopholes that need to be addressed.”

Until then, Page said that he will continue to supply the web address to students.

In contrast, there are other faculty members who believe students

BIG SISTER IS WATCHING. AP Exam proctor Tracy Rops reads out the exam confidentiality statement to senior Bridget Hanagan during the AP Statistics retake. The statement warns students who discuss exam questions that they run the risk of having their scores cancelled.

Despite these warnings, many students openly violate the statement, and discuss questions during exam break time. The school does not report these testing violations to the AP Board’s Office of Testing Integrity. (Inset) The cover of the sealed free-response packet clearly states the confidentiality of the questions inside.

should not access old tests and exams on sites like apcentral.com.

AP U.S. History teacher Jim Baker recently administered a mock using a combination of multiplechoice questions from previous AP exams. After four students scored unusually well, Baker concluded that these students had previous knowledge of the questions from sources like AP Central. Baker says that the fact that students have access

to old questions creates a problem for teachers because they must find alternate teaching resources.

“It makes it a pain,” Baker said.

“Itʼs lying, itʼs cheating, and I mean, itʼs dishonest.”

There is clearly confusion among students and teachers about what is considered cheating. There is no doubt that knowledge of test questions from resources like AP Central gives some students an advantage. To some, this

advantage is unfair and unethical.

To others, accessing old questions is entirely honest.

Even with the advent of the Internet and increased access to old exam questions, the issue of cheating comes down to a question of ethics.

“Most kids know deep down that what theyʼre doing is creeping real close to a fine line between what constitutes cheating and what doesnʼt,” Baker said.

Over half of seniors skip Senior ‘Skip Day’

By Laura Imkamp On Friday, May 13, more than half of the senior class skipped their very own Senior Appreciation Day. Only 84 of 198 seniors attended the trip to Siloso beach, Sentosa.

Deputy Principal Dave Norcott said that fewer than ten kids showed up at school – leaving the other 95 kids with absences to explain.

So far no punishment has been determined for students who did attend either the trip or school, but the administration is still waiting for all absent students to bring in a parent note with a legitimate reason for not showing up.

“It does take the luster off something thatʼs supposed to be really fun,” Norcott said.

Senior Appreciation Day was originally established because of a U.S. high school tradition where seniors simply choose a day in which they do not come to school. Norcott said that since the administration disagreed with this practice, they decided to let the student council plan a day trip for all seniors. The rules state that if a student does not attend the planned trip, they have to be in school.

Typically, the class spends the day on a beach at Sentosa while playing games, swimming and just hanging out. This year, some students and teachers were even invited to participate in a local reality TV

Hi Hi Hee causes more than a few Ho Hums

By Alex Lloyd Jim Bakerʼs atonal voice rang out across the auditorium to the tune of “The Caissons Go Rolling Along.” Projected behind him on the screen, words from a fight song written 45 years ago helped students sing along. “[The fight song] started off as a joke when Mr. Tomlinson mentioned it one day during a meeting,” executive council president Cordelia Ross said.

“The more we thought about it though, the more it seemed like a good idea.”

SAS students in 1960 competed to write the school fight song. The winning song was the one featured at the pep rally and had used the tune of the U.S. Army song with new lyrics such as: “Hi hi hee, itʼs SAS for me, as the Eagles go marching along.”

A similar competition was held the year before to pick a mascot. The eagle won.

“The words arenʼt incredibly imaginative,” Baker said. “But itʼs still a fight song, and if

show.

Seven guys – chaperones Steve Bonnette, Eric Burnett and Andrew Hallam, and students Brian Linton, Eric Williams, Nigel Wylie and Mikhail Friis – took part in a blindfolded tire-pulling contest with prizes that included bags of chocolate and electric massagers.

The day started with what senior Mike Hu described as a “ginormous” ultimate Frisbee game, with faculty and students split into mixed teams.

Two other students – Erich Bussing and Andrew Chin – brought along shovels and spent most of the day digging two to three-foot deep holes in the sand. They then buried Chin neck-high while he was sitting in one of the holes.

The trip, which was planned by the Senior Class Council, was a success among those who went, even though the poor attendance was disappointing.

“Itʼs like giving a gift to someone, and then they turn it down,” a senior council member said.

In previous years, the average number of students who did not show up was only around 10 to 15.

No one is quite sure why the number skyrocketed this year, and despite some theories, Norcott does not believe that attendance was affected in any way by the scheduling of Prom, which was the following Saturday night.

you ask anyone who went to the school from the 1960s until the early 1970s theyʼll be able to sing it for you.”

The song had fallen out of school tradition until now.

Christine Byrne, a member of the SAS Singers troupe, said the song was all right, but didnʼt work because not enough people knew it.

“It ended up being a jumble of voices because no one really knew what they were doing,” Byrne said. “Bakerʼs singing was pretty bad though, and I think they might have found someone with a better voice to sing it.”

Baker said that the actual song is not as important as the school spirit that is associated with it.

“If you were to do it at every rally I think it would catch on,” Baker said. “Itʼs just another way people can express school spirit.”

Lovers of the revived fight song can look forward to hearing it at the 50th anniversary celebration next year. Director of Development Lisa Kleintjes Kamemoto said the song is being considered, but a new song is also being commissioned.

“Weʼre starting into a new age so I think a new song would be appropriate.”

Assistant Activities Director Brian Combes, who was one of the trip chaperones, thinks that Prom and the fact that the skip day was on a Friday did lead to fewer attendees.

“I wish more had gone,” Combes said. “There are about 112 other people it would be nice to hang out with and see a little bit.”

Combes said that what he liked best about the day was just spending time with students in a relaxed atmosphere, where it was easier to get to know each other.

“Because it was unstructured, stuff just happened and evolved and people just found themselves in a group they wouldnʼt normally spend time with.”

Norcott said that it was “all around a great day. The only blemish is the fact that too many people didnʼt go. The kids who did go said they had a great time.”

New SAT complicates admissions

By Doug Fagan From now on, when someone brags about a 1600 SAT score, be sure to ask when they took the test. The new SAT, known as the SAT I Reasoning Test, was first administered this year and it is worth up to 2400 points.

The additional 800 points will come from the new Writing section, a combination of multiple choice and an essay. The essay will be scored on a scale of 1-6 by two readers, both high school or college level teachers, then the student receives the combined score of between 2-12.

What was formally the Verbal section is now the Critical Reading section. This part of the test is made up of questions on sentences, paragraphs and passages. The Math section now contains material from

algebra II, a higher level math than what used to be tested.

According to a story in the New York Times, schools are differing on how exactly to use the new SAT for admissions. Several schools said they will not consider the score from the Writing section this year. Since the writing samples will be available online, other schools said they will look at the copies of the sample so they can see if the score given is in line with what the school thinks the sample deserved.

In the article, the dean of admissions of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that it would not be fair to base their decisions this year on a test that has not yet proven to accurately show studentsʼ abilities.

Guidance Counselor Dale Ford

said one of the effects of the new SAT is which SAT Subject Tests, formally known as SAT IIʼs, the colleges will require. While some never required any to begin, many schools require up to three. Since now there is no SAT Subject Test on writing because there is a writing part of the new SAT I, Ford said that students may have to find a third Subject Test that they can do well on.

“Writing is no longer part of the Subject Tests,” Ford said. “Students may still need three Subject Tests.”

Ford said colleges will have to get used to the way the new SAT predicts students performance.

“They have no historical data on what this test predicts or does not predict,” Ford said. “So for the model of how SATʼs used to predict, does it apply anymore?”

“SHOTGUN!” staff editorial

New IASAS infraction punishments are flawed

Breaking curfew, drinking and smoking may be tempting for some while out on IASAS trips, but probably not when they know they will face 20 days of detention during breaks and free periods when they get back home.

The new rules for violating IASAS rules go into effect immediately in the next IASAS season. In the past, students who committed infractions would not be allowed to compete in exchanges and IASAS tournaments for a calendar year, including that same event next year. Sure, that was a bummer for anyone who wanted to play three sports, but for those who only played one sport, the punishment was mild.

This new rule will make athletes think twice before breaking curfew. As if the four weeks of

detention was not bad enough, the culprit is not allowed to stay on campus past 3 p.m. for 40 school days.

What if a student plays SACAC baseball or football? According to the rule, he cannot attend any of his practices or games for 40 days if they are on campus. Perhaps, since the rules do provide the administration with the right to make exceptions, athletes will not miss out on their practices and games in the non-school related sports. The school should not ban a student from a sport that is not school related just because the facilities are on campus. After all, the playersʼ SACAC fees pay for those facilities.

The goal is to cut down the number of rule

One bad moment can ruin high school reputation, respectability

By Kelsey Heiner We are all known by the company we keep and the things we do. Our actions define our reputations. One disastrous party your freshman year will not only brand you for the rest of your high school career but can sometimes be sufficient to warrant your own personal plaque on the wall of shame titled, “Sheʼs the girl who, freshman year, [insert embarrassing action here].”

Bad reputations are easily won, and rarely lost.

Trying to redeem yourself by joining the SAVE Club may help you with your personal issues but face it, it is not going to erase your public indiscretion from the memories of 900 kids and the countless other people who have heard some version of your story. Sadly, one crazy action could dig you a bottomless hole. You canʼt rewrite the past.

While some reputations develop over years of community service, perfect attendance and a permanent spot on the honor roll, others are made overnight. People make mistakes – they say one thing too much, take that extra drink just once, tell that little white lie. The reputations that result are a

constant, unspoken reminder of that one slip-up.

Trying to save face by covering your tracks isnʼt necessarily the best option. Inevitably, news of your forgettable night will fly through school.

Why fight it? Owning up to your mistakes shows maturity and character. Itʼs a major turn-off to the people who crave signs of vulnerability and weakness.

President Clinton is more likely to be remembered for the Lewinsky scandal than his deficit reduction and education reforms. Winona Ryder will always be remembered for shoplifting at Saks than her star on the walk of fame. Ashlee Simpson will never be taken seriously again as a live performer after her voice-over blunder on SNL. Reputations are reflections of our actions. They take into account the good, the bad and sometimes the ugly.

A lot more is at stake than we realize. If you are intelligent enough to comprehend the consequences of your actions, then keep the party going. Just make sure that you are willing to step up to the plate and take on the reponsibility.

infractions at IASAS tournaments and that is commendable. The school can set any rule they want regarding school sports and school activities, but if those rules prevent someone from volunteer coaching or playing a SACAC sport, that is too harsh, maybe exceeding the administrationʼs authority over students. It is a controversy just waiting to happen between SACAC coaches and the SAS administration if this situation arises next year. Exceptions should be made for SACAC athletes and volunteers.

Because of the detentions, the new rules will probably discourage more students than before, but are they appropriate? To extend a punishment beyond a studentʼs school related life is just wrong.

Parental control raises discipline, allowance issues

By Michael Hu As teenagers come into their own and assert themselves during high school, parental discipline and levels of freedom often become sources of friction between kids and their parents.

Parents tend to apply different standards of behavior and discipline to their children, and eldest children are usually held to a higher standard than their younger siblings.

“Iʼm the oldest, so I pave the way for my siblings,” freshman Kat Cooper said.

Cooper says that her parents are stricter with her than with her younger siblings. “When Iʼm out my parents have to know where I am, who Iʼm with, what weʼre doing,

Tomlinson braves harsh training to run in marathon

By Penn Bullock As students will attest, some teachers can be marathonspeakers. Now dozens of teachers have applied their expanded lungcapacity to running marathons.

Math teacher Roy Tomlinson traveled over Spring Break to Galway, Ireland, to run in a 27mile marathon. Although he placed “toward the bottom,” he said his goal was not to place, but to get in shape.

Tomlinson was struck by an epiphany in early 2002: “One day I looked myself in the mirror and I said, ʻIʼve got to do something about this,ʼ” he said, referring to his excess weight.

Tomlinson took up running to shed pounds. He was inspired to run the marathon by fitness-guru and fellow math teacher, David Rops, who ran a half-marathon in December.

To prepare for the massive slog, Tomlinson embarked on a rigorous training regimen that included a 3-mile jog every morning, five days a week for four consecutive months.

Tomlinson described the first half of the marathon as mostly flat and the second half as steep and hilly. He took 5 hours to complete it, and stopped for only two fiveminute breaks. He expected that crossing the finish line would trigger a religious experience.

and how long Iʼll be out for.”

Cooper also said that she gets $30 for food and spending money each week. This is the same amount her brother in fifth grade gets for his week.

Senior Chrisʼ (not his real name) parents punish him for poor grades.

Although his younger siblings are not punished as severely as he is, Chris says it is impossible to compare him with his siblings.

“My sister gets straight Aʼs,” Chris said. “You canʼt really punish that.”

When Chrisʼs parents found out he was on academic probation, they each had different ways of disciplining him.

“My mom yelled and yelled

“I hoped Iʼd have a catharsis or some sort of meeting with God,” he said.

But no such divine rendezvous took place. By the end, Tomlinson was almost too sore to stand, let alone undergo a spiritual awakening.

Not every runner had the stamina to reach the finish line. Several collapsed along the way and had to be evacuated by ambulance.

Though thoughts of quitting crossed his mind while he was training, Tomlinson believes the agonizing effort was well worth it in the end.

“In three years, I went from not being able to walk to the refrigerator without being winded to running a marathon.”

In May, about 70 teachers represented SAS in the 3.5-mile JP Morgan Corporate Challenge. The womanʼs team, made up of Annika Ferrell, Vicki Rameker, Katherine Hallam and Judy Ridgway, clocked the lowest time and came in first.

The team will travel to New York in October to compete in JP Morganʼs international event - “if the boss lets us,” Ridgway said, referring to principal Paul Chmelik.

Andrew Hallam, the top SAS runner, placed seventh in the run. The top six runners were all Gurkhas.

New high school secretary replaces Rita Lim

By Priyanka Dev After working for nearly two years as a secretary in the highschool office, Rita Lim is moving on to a new position in private industry.

Lim worked closely with Deputy Principal Dave Norcott, who says

and eventually cried,” Chris said.

“I tried to make myself realize how bad this was. My dad found out through a phone call from one of my teachers. He sat me down and talked my ears off.”

Chris said that his father then told him to take his glasses off before smacking him several times across the head.

“It was fair for him to hit me,” Chris said. “I deserved it. My mom cries. My dad makes me cry.”

Allowances vary in Chrisʼs family. He receives $70 a week, and can get more if he asks for it.

His sister, a freshman, receives $50 a week.

Punishments vary from family to family. When he was four years

she will be missed. ”Rita has just done a tremendous job,” he said. “She will be truly missed by all the staff and students— in particular, me,” Norcott said.

Replacing Lim is Kristin Tan, who found out about the secretary job opening in a newspaper advertisement. While Tan previously worked for a number of multinational companies, this will be her first position at an educational institution.

She says she is very excited about her new working environment.

“Because I have a young child that will enter primary school soon, I wanted to experience working in an educational setting,” Tan said. “I like that I will have the opportunity to come into contact with a lot of people every day.”

Peace Initiative’s 74 minute classes create confusion

By Ted Ho Every single minute counts when it comes to education and not a minute was wasted when the bell schedule for Peace Initiative was created. On Friday April 29 class periods were 74 minutes long in order to accommodate the hour long Peace Initiative Assembly.

“There is a very simple explanation for the schedule. We had 74-minute class periods in order to give students four more minutes to get to the Peace Initiative assembly.”

Deputy Principal Dave Norcott said.

“Weʼre not trying to deliberately complicate things.”

In the past the administration has found that it was not possible to have students in the auditorium seated within five minutes of leaving their last period class. Therefore

old, Chrisʼs parents made him kneel in a corner with his arms up for ten minutes at a stretch.

“My parents kicked my ass,” Chris said. “It was only for ten minutes, but it seemed like an hour back then.”

When Chris turned five, his parents started slapping him, usually across the back. “ T h e slaps werenʼt that serious,” Chris said. “I got the point when they hit me.”

Cooperʼs parents rely on grounding to discipline her.

Grounding for Cooper means no TV, phone, or computer use except for homework, and no activities with friends. She must come home immediately after school, and do

the administration took one minute off of each class period to give the students close to ten minutes to get to the assembly. This gave students a strange schedule where their last period class was scheduled between 12:37p.m. and 1:51p.m.

Due to the complexity of the schedule, the odd numbers confused teachers and this gave students the ability to slip into classes late unnoticed.

“As always, there is a chance that the student can take advantage of the system, but weʼre hoping that students will not do this.” Norcott said.

These changes gave students nine minutes to get to assembly or just enough time to navigate through the narrow hallways, a crowd of 940 other students and two narrow doorways to a seat in the auditorium.

“There is a possibility if this schedule works well that we will use it in the future for hour-long assemblies.” Norcott said.

Balsubramani falls short of making SAS math history

By Phil Haslett Akshay Balsubramani flirted with SAS math history this past February.

The senior finished half a point shy of the qualifying score for the thirdround competition of the American Math Competition (AMC).

“To be honest, it doesnʼt really matter. I didnʼt seriously think Iʼd make it to the third round,” he said.

Each year, about 140 SAS students participate in the AMC events in February, each selected by their math teachers. The AMC12 event, designated for 11th and 12th grade students and a handful

her homework right away. After she is finished with homework, she must do additional study. Cooper has been grounded for as long as a month.

Curfews are inconsistent among students. Chris says he has no set curfew, but gets yelled at if he comes home too late. Cooperʼs curfews vary from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., depending on the occasion. Cooper had to go home immediately after prom ended, and was not allowed to attend any after-parties.

“My parents want to protect me and make sure nothing happens,” Cooper said. “But I wish they would let me learn the hard way sometimes.”

of exceptionally talented sophomores, has 25 questions worth a maximum of 150 points.

Scores of 100 or above qualify for the second round, a feat that nearly 20 SAS students achieved. Students take their first-round score, and add it to ten times their second round score (which has a maximum score of 15). Only the top one percent of these combined scores worldwide qualify for the third round. In 2005, the minimum score required for a third-round bid was 233.

Balsubramani, despite his meritorious score of 10 in the second round, amassed a net score of 232.5, falling short by a fraction of a point.

Only one student in SAS math history has qualified for the third round. The schoolʼs AMC 12 winner in 1998 and 1999, John Lin accomplished this feat as a junior in his last year in Singapore. Lin attended the California Institute of Technology after high school. Math teacher Dr. James Kett described Lin as “a remarkable student” Although Balsubramani just missed the mark on the AMC, his mathematic accolades deserve much merit. In eighth grade, he qualified for the final round of the Mathcounts Competition and received an all-expenses paid trip to Washington D.C., where he competed against top math students of his age. In 2003, Balsubramani took second place in the Southeast Asia Math Competition. Last year as a junior, he placed in the overall top ten of the Mandelbrot Competition, a cumulative test taken by students in the SAS Math Club and offered at high schools worldwide.

Students create their own prom in hotel rooms

By Lon LeSueur As students packed into The Stamford Ballroom anxious to enter prom, others created their own prom 63 floors up. Although they did not have ice sculptures or champagne fountains, these students did not seem to mind.

Instead of going through with the standard prom date of dinner and dance, some students decided to bypass all the formalities and head straight to the hotel rooms to party.

“I didnʼt want to spend all that money for only desserts and music” a junior male said “There was no way I was going to the real thing.”

Student Council Vice President Mike Greene said there were a good number of people at this yearʼs prom, but he said he was a little upset some people did not show up after the time and energy the council had spent planning. Those who skipped the prom failed to see this point of view.

“I wasnʼt disrespecting [student council], I just didnʼt want to go to the dance,” a junior female said.

Whether students were too lazy to get dressed up or simply apathetic to the whole prom process, excuses for not going were numerous.

“None of my friends were going and I couldnʼt get a date,” said a junior male, “so I just skipped [prom] altogether.”

Students roamed the halls after drinking too much and often ran into trouble with hotel management.

Students were told to turn off the music and to stay out of the halls to reduce noise.

“We were really obnoxious and loud,” a senior female said, “Iʼm surprised we didnʼt get kicked out.”

Although students were misbehaving upstairs, Greene said the real prom went very well. “[The prom] went very smoothly, I think everyone had a good time.”

Dates easy to get for some, impossible for others

By Michael Hu Seniors Tommy Phillips, Whun Oh, Aditya Premkumar and Michael Tan opted to go to prom as a group instead of going with individual dates for various reasons. Phillips was too scared to ask a girl to go as his date. Tanʼs date was unable to attend prom, and Premkumar and Oh did not have any particular dates in mind to ask.

While it is customary for students to attend prom with a date, some opted to go without one this year, choosing the company of friends instead. Some said they chose to go with friends because there was not

anyone they particularly wanted to ask, and some students were just too scared to ask. Whatever the reason, going to prom in a group seems to be a socially accepted alternative to going with a date.

“I didnʼt have anyone in particular I wanted to ask, so I went to prom with friends,” Oh said. “If people donʼt have dates, they should go in groups.”

Junior Hannah Thoman said that prom would have been better if she had gone with a date, but that it was still good without one.

“Itʼs more exciting if you have no date,” Thoman said. “You donʼt

have to stick with one person the whole night, and you donʼt have to ask permission if you want to dance with someone else.”

Despite going dateless, Oh still sees the benefits of going with one.

“You have someone to dance with, instead of looking for people to dance with,” Oh said. “Itʼs more convenient. Plus having someone with you feels more natural when youʼre at prom.”

Despite the large number of students who opted to go to prom with friends, there are still genderspecific standards and stereotypes.

Oh said that boys have a harder time

going to prom with friends than girls do.

“Itʼs more acceptable for girls to go with friends,” Oh said. “When guys go without dates, people think thatʼs weird.”

“I think itʼs easier for girls to go in groups,” Thoman said. “Weʼre more sociable with each other.”

Some students chose to go with friends because they were too scared to ask other students to be their dates. Phillips planned on asking a girl to go to prom with him, but got cold feet in the end. The girl did not attend prom.

“I was too shy to ask,” Phillips

said. “I didnʼt know her well enough.”

Other students waited until the last minute before getting a date.

Senior Benjamin Hurh asked his date to go with him the day before prom.

“I didnʼt really want to go to prom, but I felt like asking someone that day,” Hurh said. “I asked at 10:30 on Friday night. It was late so I called and asked her over the phone. I wasnʼt going to go over to her house at 10:30. Sheʼd have thought I was crazy.”

Farewell to Gould

By Priyanka Dev As the curtain closed on this yearʼs Dance Showcase, Seniors Emily Murray and Shanna Iacovino brought tears to many eyes in their tribute to dance coordinator Ann Gould.

After 9 years with SAS, Gould will be moving to work at an international school in Lima, Peru. Tracy Vanderlinden, a former student of the International School of Kuala Lumpur, will be moving here from Australia to replace Gould.

Those that have worked with Gould say that her influence on the program will be everlasting.

“She brought students to the forefront of the program,” said Middle School dance teacher Ursula Pong. Pong will be added to the high school faculty next year to help fill Gouldʼs position as PE teacher.

Pongʼs colleague, Ms. Ann Ferrell, also worked with Gould.

“She was really a leader on the

side,” Ferrell said. “She allowed the dancers to be accountable for their own learning and ensured they were involved outside of the classroom.”

Dancers in the program say that they will also miss her.

“She furthered the development and impact of dance at the school while broadening the scope of the program,” Senior Marisa Hale said. Hale has danced under the guidance of Gould for four years.

Other dancers want Gouldʼs departure to be a time to acknowledge and appreciate her attitude and efforts.

“Oftentimes, no one quite realized the number of hours she spent just producing and organizing shows that dancers could be proud of, “ Senior Shanna Iacovino said. “And the way she runs the program has given us life-long skills like leadership and responsibility.”

CURTAIN CALL: Dance Club performed 24 dances in the 2005 Dance Showcase.

Harvey said that she did not feel comfortable taking credit for the interest in art because a major factor in the success this year was the new facilities and support from the administration.

New IASAS policy on rule breakers “shorter but harsher”

By Alex Lloyd IASAS curfew violators watch out. Next time you think about leaving your hostʼs house to go drinking, think about the time you will now be spending in the office under the new IASAS policy for rule infractions.

The policy states that any student who commits an infraction “will be required to spend all free periods and breaks in a supervised environment” for 20 school days following the infraction.

In addition, the student will be banned from extra- and co-curricular activities for 40 days. In short, the student will be required to leave school every day at 3 p.m. and will not be able to return either on school days or weekends.

The new policy will replace the punishment that previously banned students from participation in all

IASAS events for an entire calendar year.

“Itʼs certainly not a lesser punishment,” Athletics Director Mimi Molchan who helped propose the bill said. “It is a far more immediate punishment though, so the student can get it over with and still participate in other sports.”

While the punishment may only last 40 school days, the school may still impose the year ban if they feel the infraction is serious enough.

“At first I was scared when I heard they had changed the policy because I didnʼt want students to take infractions any less seriously,” cross-country coach Paul Terrile said.

“Now that I know what it is I think it will be just as harsh.”

Girlsʼ soccer coach Don Adams has a different view on the new policy.

“Iʼve been here long enough to see some bad things happen to kids who were out after curfew,” Adams said.

“It seems to me as though theyʼre loosening up a little bit and itʼll take something bad to happen before they decide to tighten up again.”

Junior Casey Bright, a varsity softball player, said students would probably take the new punishment just as seriously as the old one.

“I think students really value their time during breaks and free,” Bright said. “Itʼs better because you can get the punishment over with and then come back the next year.”

In the short-term, Molchan thinks the punishment will be harsher than the one year ban.

“With this new policy weʼll be sure students go to IASAS and focus on what they went for, not for parties.”

Track teams bring home both golds

By Kelsey Heiner IASAS girlsʼ and boysʼ varsity track and field teams brought home the gold for the seventh and eighth years in a row respectively. The meet was held at Taipei American School.

The girls team was led by senior long distance runner Mindy Nguyen and junior thrower Erika Szombathy.

Nguyen gave the Eagles a good start by winning the first event of the meet, the 3000m. She never looked back, going on to win six gold medals overall for the second year in a row along with breaking the 800m IASAS record.

Junior sprinter and hurdler Brianna Witherspoon battled back

from injuries to win gold in the 100m hurdles. She shattered the IASAS record by over 0.4 seconds.

“Breaking the record at the beginning of the year was my goal,” said Witherspoon, “It felt so good to finally accomplish it.”

Eagle dominance continued with the girls sweeping both the 400m and 800m races. The girls team beat Jakarta International School by 45 points.

SAS boys went into Taipei determined to prove they were still the team to beat at IASAS. Earlier in the season they finished second behind Bangkok at the annual Nike Invitational, held in Bangkok.

“I knew that if everyone performed up to their ability we wouldnʼt have a problem,” said senior co-captain Mark Westhuis.

Led by Westhuis, whose 33.5 total individual points dwarfed both the total team scores of JIS and ISM, senior co-captain Brad Brunoeholder, winner of the 110m and 400m hurdles, and senior long distance runner Ryan Smith, winner of two gold medals, the Eagles ran away from the competition, winning by 29 points.

“Winning at the end was pretty memorable,” said junior sprinter Scott West, “Itʼs always nice to beat Bangkok especially since they beat us at the beginning of the year.”

By Ted Ho Golf is likely to be added to the list of IASAS sports in the 3rd season of the 2006-2007 school year. SAS met with other IASAS schools this March for the first golf tournament.

A pre-IASAS tournament planned for next year will assess any problems the schools might have in making golf an IASAS sport.

One of the main problems that stands in the way of golf becoming an IASAS event is the cost of hosting the sport.

Although other sports incur costs

for paid referees and equipment, the green fees will far exceed these.

The low numer of female participants is also an issue that must be taken into consideration.

“One drawback is there are not enough girl members,” sponsor and coach Tim Zitur said. “Hopefully we can get more girls to join our team next year.”

Senior Sae Takagi was one of only two girls who were sent on this yearʼs IASAS golf exchange.

“Ten guys expressed interest in going on the exchange, but only

four were picked to go,” Linton said.

“Mr. Zitur picked students based on their dedication to the sport and their ability to shoot reasonable scores.”

Next year a league will also be formed for the international schools of Singapore, which include the Overseas Family School, Australian School, and United World College.

Both Zitur and Linton see golf as a potentially popular sport at SAS. “Once they know golf is a varsity sport, everyone will see it differently and will want to join it,” Linton said.

Boys win gold but girls “let down” final brings silver

By Doug Fagan After a demoralizing 8-6 loss to the International School of Bangkok in the round robin, the SAS boysʼ softball team appeared to be on the ropes. Needing to win to make the finals, the Eagles rebounded in their final two round robin games, beating the International School of Kuala Lumpur 11-8 and the Jakarta International School 12-8.

“After the Bangkok loss, I thought we were going to have a bad game or two,” senior co-captain Greg Sorensen said. “But we picked each other up because thatʼs what we do as a team.”

The two exhilarating games leading up to the final game gave SAS momentum heading into the final under the lights at Bangkokʼs Reinsch

Field. ISKL came out strong in the top of the first inning and put across three runs.

Singapore rallied back in the bottom of the inning to tie it up. The ISKL Panthers scratched one more across in the second, but that was all they would get. It was a struggle to get there, but the Eagles won the gold medal game 11-4.

“Each man contributed,” Sorensen said. “It was a team effort and after the final I couldnʼt have been happier.”

The girls went 5-0 in the round robin, but it was anything but a walk in the park for them. Down big and late to JIS and TAS, the girls rallied in the late innings to win the games and ensure their spot in the final.

But the final was a let down for the Eagles. After appearing to be the best

team in the round robin, it seemed like they had nothing left for the big game.

The final score was TAS 8, SAS 3.

“I was disappointed,” said junior right center fielder Andy Long. “We didnʼt play to our potential. We werenʼt ready to play the game. We had a slow warm up.”

Despite the disappointment, Long thinks the girls team will be re-stocked and ready to go next year.

“I think weʼll come back strong and hopefully take back the gold.”

Akio Takahashi, all-tournament second baseman for the boys, said the boys will come back ready to defend their title next year.

“We lose four IASAS players,” Takahashi said. “But the underclassmen will develop to cover for those four players.”

Badminton teams fall short of medals

By Lon LeSueur While other third season teams came home with medals, boys and girls badminton came up empty. The girls garnered fifth place while the boys ended in sixth. Despite practicing just as much as other IASAS teams, freshman Wilson Hasan said this very young team lacked experience.

“Everyone on the team put in a lot of commitment,” Hasan said.

“The other teams just had better individuals.”

Hasan also said coaching was a big factor in the dominance of the

other teams. “[Other teams] had professional coaches from outside of the school.”

Although they settled with last place, the boys had close matches where they only lost by a few points.

The girls, however, were only one match away from winning the bronze.

Junior Jessica Riady said that next year they will medal because of the experience gained from this yearʼs IASAS tournament.

Riady said the lack of success at IASAS was because badminton doesnʼt receive as much support from

the student body.

“Weʼre just not as recognized as much as the other sports,” Riady said.

She also said there was a lot of good competition with Taipei American School being the only exception.

“They practice all year long so they were really good.”

Although the girls and boys both did not do as well as they wanted to this year, both teams expect to improve next season.

Decathlon combines a unique set of events to test its competitors

By Bridget Hanagan A group of male students participating in the first ever SAS decathlon waited their turn to prove their upper body strength.

Even though they joked together about the number of pull-ups they could successfully complete, once it was their turn the fun turned to competition as they pushed themselves to get their chins above the bar.

Unlike a traditional decathlon, which consists of ten different track and field events, this decathlon includes throwing, softball, basketball, golf, soccer, tennis, swimming, running, pull-ups and push-ups.

Social Studies teacher Eric Burnett chose these events based on a participantʼs ability to pick up the

sport even if they had never played before.

Other criteria were that the participants would not get hurt easily and a large group of people could easily move from one event to another. Burnett designed the decathlon so there would be at least one to three events that each participant would not be able to do.

As a result, no single person would dominate the competition.

Students chose to participate in the decathlon for a number of reasons. Now that third season sports have ended and we are down to the final weeks of school, most athletes do not have any after-school commitments.

“Itʼs just something to do,” senior Marisa Hale said. “Iʼm so bored now.”

Because the decathlon includes such a wide array of events, there are athletes participating in sports that they may have never done before.

Senior Brad Brunoehler, who plays volleyball, basketball, and track, said heʼs not even going to try the swimming event. Middle school P.E. teacher Keith Hynes, in the top three, is also skipping swimming.

Spanish teacher Pele Young, who has participated in a biathlon at Sentosa and recently completed an adventure race in Taiwan, is not comfortable with the team sports in the decathlon.

“Iʼm participating for the social side of the event because there is no pressure, and it brings people together,” Young said.
