the spectrum issue
“Spectrum� can mean almost anything - everyone is on one of some kind, many of which we will explore throughout this issue. Whether it be colorblindness, a love for different activities, or your place in the family spectrum, these identities make everyone unique. At Skutt Catholic, our ultimate goal is to allow every student to reveal the combination of spectrums that makes them who they are. After high school, each of us will go on to keep nurturing those oh-so-special qualities and characteristics, and be shaped into fully formed and priceless members of society. In this issue, we use color as our medium to help express what we feel is most important. While you read our third issue of the year, we hope you can see where you fall on the spectrum, and just how colorful that makes you.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY TOM HERMANEK LAYOUT BY MARIA KOLIOPOULOS Skutt Catholic’s seniors have big dreams. Their interests lie in STEM fields, business, the arts; and many have a plan to achieve their goals. Take a look into the futures of seniors Ana Dorador and Caleb Sudbeck, as they see them. “I want to become a genetic engineer and ultimately, do work on the CRISPR system. CRISPR refers to a method of editing genetic information to produce a result that makes a positive impact on an organism. I really loved doing the Punnett Squares when going through Genetics freshman year, and this led to my realization that I want to work with genes. I hope to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Molecular Biology from KU and eventually obtain a Masters with a thesis or a PhD in the subject. Ultimately, 20 years down the road, I would love to have 3 kids, be married, and work part time at a lab where I review embryonic genes.”
Ana Dorador
Future Career: Genetic Engineer
Future Career: Director of Marketing
“In regards to my career, I’ve always wanted to major in the business field, particularly marketing. I would love to work in branding and marketing for a company in creating a company image and brand that appeals to customers. I realized I would like to have a career in marketing when I assessed my interests and talents. I am a creative person. I love art, and I always have had a knack for design. Because of this, I figured that marketing might be a good career option, so I could use my creativity in my work. I want to do this career because it is something that I think I would enjoy doing. I love design, and I appreciate when companies have a visually appealing and strong brand. Basically, I can see myself excelling with this career by utilizing my talents to the fullest. To get to this career, I plan to attend college and graduate with a major in Business Administration with a focus on Marketing. Also, I hope to gain experience through a few college internships. In 20 years, I hope to have my dream job and make a positive impact on the world through my work.�

BY EMMA BRISBOIS Makeup is an art that can often be overlooked in the ranges of visual arts. Cosmetic application can be used to tranform a face into a masterpiece. Whether it is put on for a boost of confidence, to enhance natural features, or just for the fun of it, makeup is an amazing way to express yourself in a nonconventional form of art. Cosmetology is a type of aesthetic that is rarely taken advantage of. The power of makeup can utilize the human face as a blank canvas. Whether prosthetics, glitter, color, etc., are added, makeup is an important part of human society that continues to develop. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and other ancient societies, used makeup to enhance natural beauty as well as a form of art. In today’s world, makeup is advancing faster than ever into a profound art that the world has never seen.

Involvement 9
Our daily patterns and choices greatly impact who we are and who we spend our time with. In this day and age, students are continuously encouraged to always go the extra mile and be more involved. Too often, however, students feel pressured metaphorically to bite off more than they can chew. This often leaves students stressed and anxious, turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms. One really involved student is senior Caroline Hilgert, who is involved in show choir, speech, FBLA, ballet and violin. “I definitely keep really busy. I’ve been in the thick of my show choir and speech seasons, soI haven’t really had any free weekends. However, my activities are a way that I get to spend time with my friends, as many of them are in the same activities.” Caroline”s love of dance and music have impacted her life, as evident in the fact that she has played violin for over nine years and danced ballet since age four. To this day, she practices ballet for over six hours a week. It is this love that encouraged her to try out for show choir. “I didn’t get into show choir as a freshman, but trying again and making it as a sophomore was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
BY ZOE CLARK
As busy as she is, Hilgert could not imagine not being in any of her activities, saying that they have changed who she is as an individual
Even with being so involved, Caroline stresses the importance of knowing your limits and maintaining balance in your life. “I definitely think it’s possible to be over involved, especially at Skutt where there is so much freedom to be involved. It’s an issue that many kids struggle with, including myself.”
“It’s important to find the balance and set out time to just be by yourself.”
from a virtue to a vice
“Speech has opened me up to taking on more leadership roles in other activities and given me more confidence, as well as the ability to speak eloquently and say what I think is important. Show choir has shaped me into being more open and outgoing.”

Beauty

The students of Skutt Catholic High School participate in a wide range of sports, clubs, and other extra curricular activities. Their unique interests create a diverse spectrum of involvement throughout the school. Sophomore Ellie Korensky has danced for 13 years and has been on the Skutt dance team for two years. “Dancing creates a feeling that is hard to describe. I can just let all of my troubles go when I dance; I dont worry about what other people think of me when I dance, I let go and I’m free,” Korensky said. Activities, sports, and other passions allow for student expression in a way that is impossible otherwise.
Beauty. Upon hearing the word, appearance is one of the first things that comes to mind. However, authentic beauty is sourced in the soul. Passions and differences are what set people apart from each other and allow for a unique and beautiful atmosphere to thrive. Junior Ann Gregory is coming up on her third year playing high schoool tennis. “All of us on the team really enjoy sharing our talents and cooperating together to make our team really storng. I think that our dedication to what we do and our wide variety of skills are what create beauty on our team and allow for our success,” said Gregory. The unique qualities that each person posseses are what makes any group successful.

If you’ve ever taken a trip to Western Bowl you may have missed the door just to the right. The Card Shop is home to nearly 1 million cards from every top sport on the planet. The shop features everything from 1970s NASCAR drivers to the rising prospects of Minor League Baseball. This shop was established in 2001 by two men who grew up buying, selling, and trading cards for fun. Baseball is the hot commodity in the sports card world. Baseball cards are a baseball fans pastime when they’re not at the ballpark, or watching a game on television. Baseball cards can be passed down from generation to generation throughout families. It’s the cornerstone of a father inspiring his son to become a baseball fan. The differences between eras of the card is implausible. The style is not old school, it’s flashy colors nowadays; something that will spark a kid’s attention. Baseball cards are mainly viewed from the front, but on the back are some of the most fascinating statistics a fan can see. Baseball cards came into existence in the year 1888 with the T206 Honus Wagner card. This card was purchased for more than 2 billion dollars a few years ago. One of the most fascinating figures of a card shop, are the almanacs held inside. These almanacs contain every card you could ever imagine. These hold a alphabetical list of every player to feature their face on a card, and every type of card they have appeared on. “We decided to open the shop up, and have been successful ever since.” said Owner Scott. Pages and pages are available for the “so-called” greatest players to step on the field. The shop features boxes of every Major League Baseball team that contains five-thousand cards a box. Rookie cards to Hall of Fame cards inside these boxes, covering a player’s entire career of statistics, and physical changes to his body. In the baseball category, the shop ranges from various 1933 cards, all the way to the present day. A limited number of collegiate cards are stored within the shelves of the Card Shop. Baseball cards from the college level are featured from various College World Series teams throughout history. Baseball cards from opposite sides of the spectrum are so valuable in this day in age to the relentless baseball fans around the world. The textures, the style, and type of cards have changed drastically throughout the decades. From old to new, baseball cards will forever be the key to a baseball fan’s love for the game.

trivial I5
Whether it be pineapples on pizza, the word “moist,” or the font Comic Sans, everyone has a seemingly trivial thing that bothers them: a pet peeve, to be precise. Three Skutt Catholic students explained their specific pet peeves, and just why they bother them so much. “There are a lot of insignificant things I cannot stand, but for me there’s nothing worse than people mispronouncing words,” said sophomore Julia Brockhouse. “Not messing up a long word, more like strange pronunciations that are local to an area, and said locals are convinced that their way of saying it is right when it’s really not,” Brockhouse continued. “The worst ones are probably people saying ‘car-mul’ instead of ‘care-amel,’ ‘ruff’ instead of ‘roof,’ and ‘kew-pon’ instead of ‘coupon,’” Brockhouse finished. Senior Chris King also shared his particular pet peeve, perhaps one of the even more specific ones. “I have a lot of pet peeves, but one that seems really insignificant to a majority of people is the pronunciation of the Latin word ‘in,’ particularly in music but also in general. In English it’s pronounced ‘ih-n’ but in Latin it’s pronounced ‘ee-hn.’” As for the backstory behind this peculiar pet peeve—King’s parents were both music majors in college. His mother went on to be a vocal music teacher, who often times harped on her students if they didn’t pronounce “in” correctly. Meanwhile, sophomore Maureen Pieper despises it when people touch her hair. “I hate it when people play with my hair. Like, I don’t mind if you touch it gently to feel it for whatever reason or if you have explicit permission from me to touch it,” said Pieper. “But if you actually try to run your fingers through my hair or mess with it or anything like that, especially without asking, I hate it.”
“For me there’s nothing worse than people mispronouncing words.”
There isn’t a discernible reason why people have these things called ‘pet peeves,’ or why things just bother some more than others. It is, however, human, and precisely what makes you uniquely “you.”

the little things that annoy us
“Probably the most common incident of this is if I have it in a bun, people will try to squeeze the bun,” Pieper explained. “My hair is short and has layers. It takes a lot of time and a lot of bobby pins to get any part of it up in some semblance of a bun. If you come up and try to squeeze or mess with that bun in any way, it gets messed up and takes me a long time to redo.”

PASSION
BY GRACIE KILLGORE
I7
Passion can be defined as an “intense, driving, or overmastering feeling or conviction.” Many Skutt Catholic students feel passion while participating in their favorite activities. These activities may be quite different but the emotion while performing them stays the same. Sophomore Sophia Dreessen has participated in cheer for the past two years.
“What I am most passionate about is that every game, practice, and competition, I am able to do things that defy the laws of physics. That feeling when a stunt hits perfectly is what I live for.”
-Sophia Dreessen

If I had to describe what I see in a dramatic way to get the point across, I would say the world looked dead. I don’t look outdoors to be aesthetically pleased. I’ve started to appreciate less of the color but the makeup of things. It is more interesting to look at design for its shapes rather than the colors. This deficiency doesn’t really stop me from doing anything. It’ll maybe be an issue about once a month. In most cases this just results in me asking someone what I’m looking at. I think the biggest issue comes from chemistry when we have to use the paper to identify acids and bases. If there is one thing that annoys me the most, it’s the question, “What color is this?” In my case especially, this will be a 50/50 case between red or green. So on behalf of me and anyone else who is annoyed by this, please just let us explain what we are seeing. The most fascinating thing to me is how common it is. After I found out myself, I realized just how many people told they had a similar situation. I’ve met quite a few people through that commonality. In short, colorblindness is more of a slight inconvenience. It only made made me look at the world with a different mindset. It’s helped me appreciate much more than color.
BY SAM KLEMME
a look at a muted world
Colorblindness is a genetic vision deficiency that causes the afflicted to see a muted view of the spectrum of color. The seriousness can vary from person to person. It is most commonly diagnosed through an Ishihara test, a specific pattern of dots of different colors with a identifiable object in the middle. The most common type of colorblindness is red-green deficiency, the same type I have.

PLAYLIST BY HOPE STRATMAN
Much of the music we listen to today is similarly and repetitively constructed, often leading to a somewhat monotonous sound with little variation. However, certain artists have taken to stretching the norms of musical styling by adding variation and expanding the musical range in their works. These experimental artists blend elements of different genres or use contrasting elements in their music; some, for greater changeability, create songs with different-sounding sections. To put it visually, these artists create music that goes from dark to light to all the shades of gray in between within a few minutes. And in doing so, they create a spectrum of sound — as legitimate as this spectrum of light with which we are so familiar — in their music.

Genre
BY BLAINE WIKOFF
Music is a diverse spectrum that speaks to everyone in different ways. Skutt Catholic Students were asked to represent different genres and choose songs to define their genre.
exploring music scenes
Zephyr Desa, Soul and Funk Soul and funk is special to me because it helps me develop an emotional connection through the music, I can “feel” the music. The emphasis on precussion is what makes funk funky and the emotional lyrics are more expressive and honest than other generes. Some funky tunes I would recommend are “If You Want Me To Stay,” by Sly and the Family Stone, and “Millionaires Against Hunger,” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Trevor Fullinfaw, Blues Blues is special to me because it brings the emotional side of not just guitar playing, but music in general. What de-fines blues is that you’re basically singing or playing abotu soemthing you’ll never have, but wanting it anyways. Most blues songs are about guys losing the love of their life amd for me, when you play music when you’re sad, it makes me feel better. A crunchy blues tune is Texas Flood, by Stevie Ray Vaughan Ethan Hough, Hard Rock What I appreciate about hard rock and metal is the feeling of a purging after listening to it. It’s like reading a good book, it builds up a kind of feeling and tension leaving a sort of adrenaline rush. I’m really impressed by the bands that blends all the things I like about several different genres, it can get bland when they don’t. For those about to rock, I suggest: “Whole Lotta Love,” by Led Zeppelin, “Fuel,” By Metallica, and “Peace Sells,” by Megadeth. Evan Anderson, Rap and Hip Hop Rap and Hip Hop are special to me because although I listen to more than one genre of music I find I can listen to this genre in many different moods. I can listen when I want to zone out, when I want to be uplifted, or when I want to work out. I don’t think the line between genres is that important. I enjoy when artists bring elemnts form other genres to enhance their own element or even create a sub-genre. If you are looking to get into rap I would suggest “Gangsta’s Paradise,” by Coolio. Luke Bennett, Classic Rock I grew up listening to the 80’s with both parents around the house. My father would alwas have a CD playing for bands such as Boston or Kansas. I grew close to this genre because of my childhood. The difference between genres depend on our personalities. Music is a defining quantity of what makes us, us. Anyone who wants to get into classic rock I would suggest, “More than a Feeling,” By Boston.

Fusion

Walking into Hunan Fusion on 132nd and Center feels like taking a step into the year 3018. The decor is modern and crisp, with contrasting colors, sharp edges, and iridescent light fixtures that alter between green, blue, and purple. The restaurant was spacious, with about six families dining, about 70 percent of the tables were still open. After we were sat, it took an awkward amount of time for a waiter to greet us and bring water, but it gave us ample time to flip through their menu which could be published as a novella. Hunan Fusion offers a variety of asian foods including multiple appetizers, sushi, and various Chinese and Thai dishes; I set out to try a little bit of everything. We started with the crab rangoons; they were a picture book golden brown and the rangoon themselves were surprisingly light and airy. The filling, however, left much to be desired. While it was rich and creamy, it was runnier than you would expect it to be. Additionally, the flavor was oddly potent at times; it clung to the faux “Krab” flavor, which made the whole thing feel off. The “OMG” sushi roll, on the other hand, was incredible. It consisted of crab salad, avocado, cream cheese, asparagus, and shrimp topped with a Honey Wasabi sauce. I was a little apprehensive of the spicy sweet combination at first, but it all blended together surprisingly well.
The chicken itself was exactly as good as sesame chicken always is, the flavor was reminiscent of any other sesame dish. The texture of the meal is where it really shined. The sauce was perfectly tacky and the chicken was crunchy under it. I was, however, disappointed by the rice; it was not only disproportionate to the amount of chicken provided, but it was slightly bitter and a little undercooked. The pad thai can be summed up with one word: fresh. Every ingredient seemed to come straight from the field, and the sauce was bursting with flavor. Like the chicken, everything on the plate seemed to be super sized. The noodles were thick, all the vegetables were either rough chopped or julienned, and the shrimp were some of the biggest I have ever seen. The best part about Hunan Fusion is that it is affordable. After purchasing an appetizer, a roll of sushi, what I can only assume was an entire chicken, and a pad thai big enough for three the check was only about 34 dollars. All and all, Hunan Fusion finds a way to not only successfully tie in multiple forms asian cuisine, but to leave you with a doggie bag or two when you leave.

When the waiter finally brought out our dishes the sheer amount of food that came with one meal was shocking. My sesame chicken,accompanied with a side of rice, sat like a mountain on my plate and must have weighed at least a pound and a half.

harmony 31
Music is
empty played
when
one note
at a time
Playing sets of notes at the same time creates interactions in the ear that make the sound vibrant. Combinations of notes at specific intervals create harmony. The intervals that create consonance are unison, octave, fifth, fourth, and major and minor thirds and sixths. This means that, for example, if A is the base note, a perfect fifth would be E- five notes higher.
BY NATHAN FLETCHER
Harmony gets more complicated when more than one note is used. Tertian harmony uses a third above the base note as well as a third above the third, or a fifth above the base note. This would take the form of A, C, E, since C is the third of A and E is the third of C. The same process can be used in quartal and quintal harmonies using fourths and fifths respectively. Chords are rarely used in isolation; sequences of chords are required to make a musical piece. Typically composers will vary consonant and dissonant chords to create interest. A dissonant chord tends to settle to a consonant chord with the same root, typically only shifting one note within the chord. It’s this sequence of chords that gives a musical piece flavor. Just as notes stack to make chords, chords string together to make a 2-dimensional artwork that possesses both variety and interest.
the act of creating music
Perfect intervals are found at unison (1:1), octave (2:1), fifth (3:2), and fourth (4:3). Intervals that are not mathematically exact are imperfect. Dissonance can be created with seconds and sevenths. For example: an A and a B or an A and a G.

In sports, rivalries are crucial parts of a fan base. The opposing team across town or across the state border, make you mad for no reason at all. You have vendettas for people that you have never met and hatred for players and coaches you have only seen on a screen. The rival team makes you put paint on your face at early hours in the morning and perform rituals to pick up a win. These teams can ruin your day just simply because a random 20 year old dropped a ball. Sports are more than just a game- they are people's lives.

I have been a Packers fan ever since I was five years old. My family has gone to Green Bay every summer for the past 10 years to watch the Packers training camp, and we have also been able to attend a few games. When the Packers sold stock recently, my family bought some, so we are technically owners of the team. Aaron Rodgers might be the most gifted quarterback in the history of the NFL. When he is healthy, he is better than anyone else and can make plays no one else can. The Patriots are the evil empire of the NFL. I will root for any other NFL team who is playing them. - Junior Josh Gromowsky
“The Patriots are the evil empire of the NFL.”
New England Patriots Tom Brady is not only the greatest quarterback to ever play the game of football, he is the greatest player to ever play American football, and one of the greatest athletes in American sports history. To start off, he was drafted in the sixth round, pick 199 overall in the 2000 NFL draft. 6 quarterbacks were taken ahead of him. Tom Brady has never forgotten this, and he carries that chip on his shoulder to this day. No one believed in him, and he went on to play in 8 Super Bowls, and has one 5 of them. He is currently 40 years old, and is still playing at an incredibly high level. Unfortunately, Tom’s Hall of Fame career is often overshadowed by the bogus Deflategate scandal. Tom Brady is one of the most hated athletes today, and the Patriots are one of the most hated organizations, however, even critics can’t deny the impressive dynasty that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady have formed. -Junior John Bollish

Within a family, the children tend to have different personalities and characteristics. Scientists have attributed some of these qualities to birth order. One psychologist named Alfred Adler presented a theory based on the relationship between personality and birth order. According to this psychological theory, first-borns often become strong leaders, but they also can feel pressure to succeed, which can result in becoming a perfectionist. Following the oldest children, second-born children act as the peacemakers, but they can struggle to establish their own unique identity. In contrast, the youngest child tends to be more creative and a nonconformist. This theory can prove to be more accurate in a family with three children than when it is applied to a larger family.
Adler’s theory is constantly disputed by modern pyschologists, but it remains a working theory in pyschology today.
how birth order affects pesonality
Many families, like the Korensky family, have multiple children, so Adler’s theory isn’t necessarily accurate. “With the middle children, I feel like the theory works in its own way,” said sophomore Ellie Korensky. “I have six siblings, which means there are five middle children. The older three have more first-born qualities, while the younger two have more of a combination of middle children and youngest children characteristics,” Korensky said.

unity
BY COLIN FULLINFAW
37
Politics can be a dirty business. It can split communities, families and even relationships between friends. In times of political strife in the country, or maybe just in general, many friend groups opt to avoid any mention of their opinions for fear of being ridiculed by their peers. Some people are ambitious, instigating heated conversations with friends they wouldn’t otherwise have. Oftentimes, those conversations end up with one of the parties involved being shot down in flames. People’s preoccupations are a good reme-dy for wanting to let off some political steam, while also taking advantage of the shared obsessions that unite them as friends. For people with a shared passion, politics sometimes springs up, but it is also a gateway to under-standing and common ground.
Obsessions can bring people together, and can also share as a reminder that people can come together for a common purpose. That shared purpose unites the group and makes them think twice about the role politics plays in their relationship, because for them, friendship is a blend of life experiences. Between these friends lie countless arguements and misconceptions, but they see past all that and focus on what gives them meaning in their lives. This common ground is essential for understanding different viewpoints, and ultimately translates to accepting people for who they are, not for what they believe.

“painting makes me
BY CLARA POHLMAN
In any art form the medium in which a piece is made is the artist’s key ingredient. The process that any performer or impressionist decides to make their path is exactly how their work is rendered their beautiful and unique creation. Whether it’s singing in front of thousands or secluding oneself to only being in contact with a brush and paint: artistic expression is the purest form of allowing a person to say this is me. Junior Landon Healy describes art as being able to use his creativity for an outlet. “It helps me express myself to the fullest,” Healy said. The latter of this statment can still be applied to the artist who proclaims their masterpiece is any type of perfroming. Senior Cal Strawhecker has been an onstage (and everyday) showman for the majority of his life. He finds comfort and happiness in bringing joy to other people. The difference between art forms is quite obvious to any naked eye, but the reality of the honest and vulnerable expression in both types of art is quite similar. The meaning behind any beautiful masterpiece, no matter the form, is the master of the piece itself, the artist.
