The Frosh Awaken: Freshman Retreat 2016 MIMI JURION ‘17
On January 27th, Alum and former NFL player Bryce Fisher ’95 came back to campus as part of the NFL’s community outreach program. Fisher presented Seattle Prep with a golden football in honor of his Super Bowl XL appearance as a Seahawk.
18 Students to Travel to the Dominican Republic GIANNA PATCHEN ‘17
“The trip to the Dominican Republic is a unique opportunity to experience part of new culture and help those in need” said junior Emily Jordan, anticipating her chance to go this summer. Seattle Prep is a school committed to justice not just in our daily lives, but in communities around the world. There is no better example of this than the students who go to the Dominican Republic each summer. This service trip is through Education Across Boarders, a program that Seattle Prep has been working with for numerous years. These students take two weeks out of their summer vacations to travel across the globe and build homes, as
well as other amenities in the Dominican Republic. Students will be traveling to a few different areas. First, their plane lands in Santiago de Los Caballos where they will be taught historical context development. Next they drive to a rural town called Franco Bidó where they stay five nights with residents of the town and work in the community. At the last destination, students will be spending nights in Santiago, but traveling each day to a Haitian farmworkers’ camp called Batey. The work done at each of the sites varies from year to year. In the past they have done many things from planting trees to building homes and clinics. Ms. Forte, one of the trip organiz-
At the end of this year Prep will be losing a few faculty and staff members including current principal, Mrs. Reed. Although the Prep community will be losing a great leader, we will be welcoming an accomplished and enthusiastic principal, Ms. Erin Luby. Principal Luby recently took the time to answer some of the most pressing questions that students and faculty wanted to know.
Yes, I was an English teacher. Then I became Student Activities Director, which was a part-teaching and part-administrative role. After that I was Dean of Students for four years before moving to my current job – Assistant Principal for Student Services. Where did you go to college? What did you major in? I went to the University of Notre Dame and majored in American Studies and Computer Applications. What are you most looking forward to about working at Seattle Prep? I’ve heard great things about the school community – students, teachers, staff, parents – and I look forward to developing relationships with great people. I am excited to help “form discerning and transformational leaders,” as the school mission states, in a co-ed Catholic, Jesuit environment. What do you want Seattle Prep students to know about you?
ers, expresses the strengths of the program, “Education Across Boarders is very rooted in the Dominican Republic community and focuses on relationship building across cultures and long term investment in the education of young people rather than making the students that come down feel good about building a house.” Each member of the trip has already gone through an application process where they filled out applications and did an interview. As the students get closer to the trip they will be planning and fundraising as well as learning about the Dominican Republic community and its history with Haiti.
Meet the New Principal: Ms. Erin Luby TESSA WINKELHAKE ‘16
Where are you from? I grew up in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago and currently live in Chicago. What’s your favorite part about working at a high school? There is great energy in high schools, with so many opportunities for teaching and learning both in and out of the classroom. I love working with high school students to help them grow as Men and Women for Others. Were you a teacher before you became a principal?
I look forward to getting to know you and seeing you around campus! Like you, I’m also a student. I’m doing doctoral work at Loyola University and will be working on my dissertation from Seattle. Though I’ve finished my classes, I will be researching and writing alongside of you. I’m also a big sports fan and will always love Chicago’s teams – the Bears, Bulls, Cubs, Blackhawks – as well as Notre Dame. Who is your role model? My parents are my role models. They are amazing. What was your favorite book you read in High School? To Kill a Mockingbird What’s your go to dance move? I’m not sure if it’s a “move,” but my favorite dance is salsa. I lived in Santiago, Chile for about a year and a half and got into salsa while I was living there. What’s your favorite type of food? Italian
As second semester begins with a fresh start, the freshmen of Seattle Prep depart on a 3 day retreat to experience a fresh input on getting to know their classmates. This year’s Freshman Retreat theme was Star Wars, and when interviewed, Sam Krast ‘19 said, “I think the Star Wars theme is a creative idea especially because the new movie came out.” Several bonding activities on the retreat included the small group time at Prep in individual rooms around the school and home time at a leader’s house for a more natural setting. The first night began with an opening ceremony and a fast friending activity which was similar to a round of speed dating to get to know their fellow classmates. The excitement had just nearly begun when an entertaining secret was revealed. The following day included jumping on bouncy houses, a talent show and open mike, a carnival with buddies from St. George and an entertaining yet competitive family feud activity of boys against girls. The talent show included a duo of singers, an Irish dancer, a group dance of “Jingle Bell Rock” and two comedians who insisted that strawberry milk should be sold at Prep. Multiple groups of freshmen showed off their dance moves. Kellen Kavanagh ‘18 shares his favorite parts of his freshmen retreat last year: “The surprise was my favorite part of the retreat, and I became a lot closer with people that I didn’t know before. The skits were also fun to watch even though mine was bad.” Sam Eco ‘16 remembered her favorite parts of the retreat 3 years ago: “It was fun to be paired with the boy group at the house dinner, also the talent show and bouncy houses were fun and made us go out of our comfort zones.” The Freshman Retreat is led by junior and senior leaders to allow the 9th graders to feel comfortable and safe in their small group environment. Katie Erickson ‘17 shared what she is most looking forward to as a leader of the retreat: “As a leader, I think it will be great to relive my experience again through a different perspective. I’m also decorating my room for my small group with a camping theme, including a fake campfire, a big orange tent, glow stars and smores for snacks.” Prior to the retreat, Sam Krast ‘19 eagerly shared his expectations: “I guess I’m most excited about getting to know people better through the retreat!”

Please Let the Dogs In
MEGHAN MCLAUGHLIN ‘16
promise and we were gifted with a goldendoodle at the respective ages of eight, five, and two. In the pivotal process of naming our canine family member, my brother insisted on calling her Sniffy. We told him that would go into consideration as a middle name. Our little puppy, named Bailey Alouicious McLaughlin, got into a bit of trouble in her younger years. Upon arriving at our home, she consumed a rubber snake within her first thirty minutes inside the house. This rubber snake later reappeared outside in the backyard. Dogs have terrible short-term memories. They forget an event within two minutes, and it could be gone after just 27 seconds. Instead, dogs store away information that is needed to survive and goes be-
yond episodic memory. They are only hardwired to remember biologically relevant information. This can be good when you accidentally step on their tail and they don’t hold a grudge or give you the silent treatment for days. However, this isn’t so great when your particular dog is prone to eating things they are not supposed to, like rocks. Post rubber snake incident, Bailey ate not one, but two rocks. She just swallowed them whole. The second time being after my dad removed every single rock on the top surface of our backyard. How she found that one rock to consume the second time around, we’ll never know. As a result, Bailey’s name was briefly changed to Rocky. A family friend suggested we install a zipper in Bailey’s stomach for the next time she ate a rock. Luckily, she never did. It was licorice that we had to worry about. Bailey has an odd taste for licorice; she just loves the stuff. So, one day when my friend and I used Redvines as straws for our sodas, as one does when presented the opportunity, Bailey attacked. By attacked, I mean carefully and strategically secured a Redvine and retreated. We had set our soda cans on an ottoman in the basement and left the room for a moment to come back to watch the culprit delicately pluck one Redvine, pull it out from the small opening in the soda can without knocking it over and trot away. I couldn’t even be mad, it was amazing. Dogs are smart like that. Although they have about the same intelligence as a two-year-old human, they can’t suck their thumb or ride a trike. What they can do is learn 165 words including signals and gestures. Dogs in the top twenty percent in intelligence can learn 250 words, which is even more than the average two-year-old.
In the 1981 film Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, savage barbarians fight for one lone resource: oil. A simple fossil fuel used to turn the pistons of automobiles and aircraft has caused humanity to destroy itself. Contest for this unassuming good has ravaged a not-so-hypothetical world, plunging it into war, famine and economic chaos. Those with power and weapons pillage from the poor and weak, attempting to take their precious oil. Only a lone Max, played my Mel Gibson, works to fight for the weak and salvage what is left of humanity. This dystopian action film may be a near reality for humankind. Climate change is real. Whether accepted by all Americans or not, it scientifically exists. Some political party platforms state, “the environment is getting cleaner and healthier” and I overwhelming disagree. In just 45 years, the global sea levels have risen eight inches, the temperature increased by two degrees, the precipitation rose by five percent, and there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than at any time in the last 800,000 years. These rapid alterations to our “common home” are detrimental to the environment. While wheat, corn, rice and almost all crops on the planet suffer from increasing temperatures and frequency of extreme weather conditions; weeds, pests, and fungi, on the other hand, flourish in warmer temperatures. As crop growth continues to decrease, the availability of livestock and other consumed animals may decline as well. Around the world, thousands of plant and animal species have disappeared due to climate change and will never return. As even fresh water is vulner-
able, Pope Francis explains in Laudato Si’, the Pope’s second encyclical “some studies warn that an acute water shortage may occur within a few decades unless urgent action is taken.” I fear for the scarcity of basic natural food resources as climate change continues to persist. As climate temperatures gradually increase, many crops and animals that support and feed mankind will not adapt quickly enough to sustain their existence. Greater scarcity of food and clean water will lead to a direct increase in the price of food and various products that humans depend on to live. The impoverished, already struggling to survive, will easily be outcompeted by wealthier nations with more power and military resources to obtain food and clean water. Pope Francis understands “water pollution particularly affects the poor who cannot buy bottled water; the rises in the sea level mainly affect impoverished coastal population who have nowhere else to go”. With the scarcity of basic human resources slowly becoming a reality, the distribution of goods, basic food and clean water, will become even more unequal and unjust. Even today poor nations struggle to feed their citizens. What will happen when both wealthy and poor nations fight for the same resources? Who will win? The answer is clear. Just look to the conflicts in Africa. Yes, many aggressions have been waged between different ethnic groups, but what was often the root cause of the conflict? A competition for clean water. Access clean water and the “winner” survives. The scarcity of clean water has resulted in numerous civil wars, genocides and refugee crises. This is a
They say a dog is man’s best friend. I say “they” are right. Dogs are arguably the best companion a human could ask for and I’ve never seen why anyone would ask for anything else. When I was younger, I was simply obsessed with dogs. This could be why my first word beyond the basic “mommy” and “daddy” was “doggieee.” Around age five, I started to beg my parents relentlessly for a puppy of our own. They promised that when I turned eight and my brother five, we would get a dog. Then, when I was six, my sister showed up, but that’s a completely different story. Nonetheless, our parents kept their
“My dog doesn’t understand things like “No, don’t eat the rubber snake, or the rock, or another rock, or the Redvine,”
My dog doesn’t understand things like “No, don’t eat the rubber snake, or the rock, or another rock, or the Redvine,” but she is one of the most intelligent breeds of dog, so that has to count for something. Speaking of counting, studies suggest that dogs have a basic understanding of arithmetic and can count up to four or five. On top of their school smarts, dogs also have to balance a demanding social life. The social life of a dog is more comparable to that of a teenager’s rather than a two year old. Dogs are interested in who is moving up in the pack and who is not. I’m not sure if this was the mentality my dog had when she would only play with a teacup poodle at training class, but that doesn’t matter considering she flunked out of obedience school after just three weeks. Regardless of what friends dogs make outside the home, they will be faithful to their owner. They pick up on queues of the situation at hand, like tone of voice and body language, and try to replicate how the human acts. When their owner is sad, a dog will look at them with big doe eyes. When their owner is happy, a dog will wag their tail wildly and jump around with excitement. They will do just about anything to make their owner feel better, even if that means bringing every single shoe in the house they can find to their owner’s feet, like my aunt’s dog feels is necessary. With all of their quirks, dogs will be there for their owners, always. Although they may do things that raise stress levels, like eat an entire chicken that was meant for Christmas Eve dinner, they will do just the same to lower those stress levels. Whatever goofy habit they have, it only makes them that much more lovable. It’s true that every dog has its day.
The Future Fights For Food ALEX MARTIN ‘16
dangerously unequal distribution of goods, simple food and water. Competition for oil in the 1981 film Mad Max 2 may seem like an exaggeration of a hypothetical future for mankind. However, its similarity to the likely outcome of a food and clean water scarcity due to the irreversible effects of climate change may
“I fear for the scarcity of basic natural food resources as climate change continues to persist.” be even worse. World nations, armed with nuclear weapons and a fear to provide for their citizens, may destroy what valuable life is left to live. Since this outcome may not be far off in the future, there is an overwhelming need for those in power, the wealthy nations actually causing climate change, to act with greater altruism and selflessness. America is one of those nations. Although the U.S. accounts for only four percent of the world’s population, America produces twenty-five percent of the world’s energy and carbon dioxide emissions. This must stop. As Pope Francis notes, Americans have been creating a blatantly wasteful and self-destructive “throw away culture.” Quite literally thirty to forty percent of the food supply in America is thrown away every day. Today, Americans enjoy abundance and take excess for granted. On a new, unseen Earth that unjustly competes for basic human goods, our great-grandchildren will never imagine such wastefulness.

Assembly Celebrates Legacy of Dr. King MAGGIE KERNER ‘17 Martin Luther King Jr. was the kind man who had one dream, a country in which all people were treated equally. On January 18th we celebrated this man for his actions and all he stood for. This year at the annual MLK assembly there was a PULSE performance, guest speech by Jerry Large of the Seattle Times, faculty speech by Ms. Borgen, student reflection by Riley Burton, and a song by Pastor Pat Wright of the Total Experience Gospel Choir. Jerry Large has been a journalist for 34 for years and is currently working for the Seattle Times. He spoke about the history of African Americans in the United States, ranging from the beginning of slavery to the issues of racism we face today. Librarian Ms. Borgen, following

Mr. Large, spoke about her grandparents, who despite their views of equality, still held their own prejudices. Her family had to confront their own prejudices when one of their daughters married an African American man. This event caused years of conflict and was only overcome when they lost a daughter to cancer. This disaster motivated them to put their prejudice aside and reach out to the daughter they still had. Riley Burton ‘16 followed Ms. Borgen with a speech about his own life and his personal experiences of racism. As a light skinned African American, Riley felt like an outcast in both races. Burton’s speech was relatable to anyone who has ever felt caught between two worlds. Whether it is two different races, two different friends groups, or two different life styles.
Pastor Pat Wright of the Total Experience Gospel Choir closed the assembly with an rendition of the song “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Wright has sung for three different presidents, several kings and queens, and left her mark on many others who have had the privilege of being a part of her audience. She used her voice and passion to move the audience and leave the students with a final reminder of the history of African Americans. Megan Floyd ‘17 shared that she really enjoyed listening to Ms. Borgen and Riley Burton’s speeches and loved how they each connected the theme of the assembly to their everyday lives. She described the assembly as an “informative and inspiring experience”.
Seattle Prep has a long history of love and inclusion. Prep has always sought to uphold all peoples’ right to education and respect. Following that, the Seattle Prep Feminist Interest Group (FIG) held its first this first semester. FIG follows a modern model of feminism that expands to include LGBTQ+ women and women of color. It focuses on gender and sexuality as a spectrum and rejects the ideas of institutional gender roles and expectations. This modern wave of feminism has turned the dialogue towards the uncomfortable topics previously avoided such as gender violence, reproductive rights, sexual assault, and inequality in the workplace. Rooted in gender equality, FIG is a co-ed organization that has members of all genders. The goal of the group is to start a conversation among students about their own rights and values and those of others. FIG founder, Avery Brown ‘16, wants it to be known that: “FIG is about love and breaking down harmful stereotypes for both men and women.” Brown is leading FIG in collaboration with other schools to put on FemCon, a conference for students from 25 different high schools. The conference, which will be held on May 7th at the MLK Community Center, is being organized by representatives from Seattle Prep and other local high schools both public and private. The conference will include guest speakers and nine workshops that will cover important topics like race, sex education, and religion. FemCon has received outstanding support with organizations coming to it looking to get involved. Pagliacci Pizza will be donating food and other sponsors plan to support the event. Additionally, the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) will attend the event. The conference has been in the works for about two months. Look out for the launch of FemCon's website and a piece on it in the Seattle Stranger in coming weeks.
Plaza Tree Pays Tribute to Bimal Sandhu ‘14 KATE DELANEY ‘16 There is a new floral addition to the Prep campus, and this one is more special than usual. It is located on the plaza between Our Lady of Monserrat Chapel and the statue of Ignatius. On December 19th a cherry blossom tree was dedicated to Bimal Sandhu ‘14 who passed away last year. Garrett Cook, Director of Alumni Relations and Events, explains that “This cherry blossom tree was planted in the everlasting memory of Bimal. The tree is a reminder of the strength, compassion, and grace that Bimal brought to our campus as a student.” This event was part of the annual Young Alumni Events, and was originally planned by Mr Hickey and several alums who graduated with Bimal. It was attended
by many of his fellow classmates, friends, and team members. Members of Bimal’s family also attended. Bimal was a part of the Seattle Prep football team, and his former teammates Clayton Comiskey and Jack Iseman ‘14 spoke at the dedication. Cook, who coached Sandhu on the Prep Football Team, also spoke. The dedication ceremony was a special event for everyone who knew Bimal, those who attended and those who couldn’t make it. They will always be able to visit the tree and remember Bimal. This tree will stand on Prep’s campus and grow with the school. It represents the character and the continuing impact that Bimal Sandhu has had on Seattle Prep.
The plaque next to the tree reads “In loving memory of our classmate and friend, class of 2014.”

Young Men’s Retreat Provides Sophomore Boys with Powerful Bonding Experience JACOB BAILET ‘16
It’s that time of year again, retreat season; when a busy week of finals are followed up by 5 Seattle Prep retreats. In its 6th year, the Young Men’s Retreat has become a popular retreat among the sophomore boys. It is one of two gender exclusive retreats for sophomores. The Young Men’s retreat which allows the boys a chance to grow in areas of their lives that might not be possible in a mixed gender environment. Ten juniors and senior leaders under the guidance of Mr. Mack and Mr. John-
ston seek to help guide 70 sophomore boys to grow in their maturity and leadership on their journey to becoming men. While the retreat is constructive and productive, centering around adult and student talks along with small group sharing, it also allows the sophomore boys the chance to participate freely in fun activities such as high ropes, paintballing, and motocross. The retreat challenges the sophomore boys to explore coming of age issues that affect their gender with questions such
as: What does it mean to be a man? How important is it to have good role models? What are the stereotypes both bad and good of being a man? Most importantly, the retreat allows the sophomore class of boys a chance to bond with their fellow classmates while engaging in fun but challenging activities together. When asked about how this year’s junior and senior class of leaders has shaken out, Mr. Mack shared “this year’s group of leaders brings new energy and vitality to
help continue to make this retreat a powerful way for sophomore boys to grow in maturity and purpose. I think we will be taking this to the next level with this year’s group and I am excited” The Young Men’s Retreat gives upper classmen leaders the opportunity to engage their younger classmates in an action packed retreat. The retreat took place at Island Lake camp from Thursday January 28th to Saturday January 30th.
A Tearful Journey Through Adolescence
Seattle Prep Students Glow Up Post Finals
LEEDS RISING ‘16
OLIVIA SMITH ‘17 & FIONA SCANLAN ‘18
With the goal of empowering each young woman with the strength and empowerment she needs to find her inner beauty, own her own gifts, and follow her dreams, the Young Women’s Retreat of 2016 was a time for many sophomores that turned the “friendships of many sophomore girls into a family” according to Alexis Losse ’16. While the retreat remains largely a secret as to what events actually take place during the weekend, the important component still remains regardless changing how individuals are able to view friendships and relationships with others and themselves. This lesson, as Sarah Buchanan ’16 noted, is one that “pertains to everything at Seattle Prep and life outside of school.” This idea of keeping a stable and healthy relationship with oneself revolves largely around the idea that “beauty is within,” moving away from the external features that have become increasingly idealized in the 20th and 21st century
world. These ideals put a “massive amount of pressure” on girls in all sorts of ways, but the most influential would arguably be the view that a woman’s beauty can only be external – as propagated by everything from the media to movies. Losse emphasized this point, by realizing how the desire to meet these ideals are not always what a woman should strive for, an individual is better able to “keep and maintain a healthy understanding of oneself and one’s body image” so that they can attain a true sense of happiness that is longer and more meaningful than the superficiality associated with external beauty. Many members of the retreat noted that the weekend of the retreat was “one of the most meaningful in their lives,” allowing them the opportunity to better understand who they want to become and how to see beauty in both themselves and others. The student and faculty leaders, along with the sophomore girls, should be highly applauded for their work and making the retreat into the success it was.
The Seattle Prep Glow Dance has been an annual tradition for many years. Following the stressful week of finals, the glow-themed dance is the perfect way for Prepsters to let off some steam and have fun. On Thursday night, January 21, the gym was filled with students having a blast. The DJ made for a great dance for the whole school playing all the new hits of 2016 and classics that got student bodies up and moving. The glow dance is best known for all the glow-in-the-dark outfits. Prep kids sported white t-shirts, neon shorts, colorful scrunchies and socks, and glow body paint. To start off the freshmen’s first Glow Dance, they got to come to the commons early for the tradition of decorating shirts to wear for the dance later in the evening. Luke Anderson ‘19 and Luke Jenson ‘19 when asked about the dance and prefunction stated, “We loved the dance, but our shirts were ruined by the paint afterwards.”
The class of 2019 had a ton of fun making crazy outfits with the help of their peer mentors. Peer Mentor and junior, Cade Osterman ‘17 informed us, “It was very chaotic, but the freshmen seemed to be having a really good time and I was happy to help. I think we could make some improvements for next year though” This year’s festive outfit choice was bright colored paint all over the shirts. The freshmen definitely glowed bright at their first glow dance. At the end of the dance the Seattle Prep staff provided everybody with chilly and delicious otter pops. A perfect treat to end a perfect night to end the first semester and welcome the second semester to come.

5 The Difficulty With Obama’s New Gun Control Policy MEGHAN KEARNEY ‘16
On January 5, President Obama announced a new firearm policy that he hopes will reduce the amount of gun-related violence in American communities. As a result of this executive order, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) is now required to give more extensive background checks to anyone trying to buy or sell a gun. The ATF is additionally taking measures to ensure that transactions involving stolen guns and illegally trafficked guns are quickly brought to the attention of law enforcement officials. The President has also asked that mental health treatment and gun safety technology is improved. Over the past decade, more than 100,000 American citizens have lost their lives as a result of gun violence. In addition, millions more have been affected by
a crime involving a firearm or have taken their own lives with this dangerous weapon. As Obama unveiled his new policy in a tearful speech, he reminded America of the children who lost their lives in the 2012 Sandy Hook tragedy and the recent San Bernardino attack. While standing in front of an audience filled with relatives of those killed in mass shootings, Obama said “In this room right here . . . There is a lot of heartache. There’s a lot of resilience, there’s a lot of strength, but there’s also a lot of pain.” Despite all of the emotion displayed by Obama, it is clear that making this new plan effective will be easier said than done. Most of the President’s executive measures were created to clarify pre-existing laws rather than expanding them. In order to enforce a number of these measures
their immense funding must be approved by a skeptical Republican-led Congress. Many conservative members argue that the plan is far too expensive and violates Second Amendment rights. Even if the plan is put into action, it’s hard to say whether or not it will considerably diminish gun violence. Perhaps one of the biggest roadblocks comes with monitoring firearm sales. In 2014, over 21 million guns were sold through the background check system. However, it is estimated that as many as 8.4 million more firearms were sold privately and without background checks. The administration and the policy’s most optimistic advocates admit that only a fraction of these illegal sales will be affected as a result of Obama’s policy. Amidst the criticisms and chal-
lenges that come with the President’s new proposals, the true goal of Obama’s policy is apparent: make America a safer place. Although the plan may not prevent all gunrelated deaths and crimes, Obama assured the public that preventing even a small handful of these tragedies is a step in the right direction when he said “We are fed the excuse that common-sense reforms like background checks may not have stopped the last massacre, or the one before that, so why bother trying. I reject that thinking. We know we can’t stop every act of evil in the world. But maybe we could try to stop one act of evil, once act of violence.”
Winter Fashion: Out with the New, In with the Old MIKAELA FRIGILLANA ‘17 AND JEFFREY PELAYO ‘17 Fashion fanatics should “be-wear” of all the not-so-new trends making an appearance this season. Stores are drawing inspiration from classic street styles and 90’s fashion, giving individuals the opportunity to throw it back with their outfits and appreciate styles of the past. With the winter season here, a variety of looks are taking over, ranging from bold, textured outerwear to more versatile, everyday pieces. Even classics can be transformed to make a modern statement. Faux fur, wool, suede, velvet, and corduroy are all essential textures to a winter wardrobe that make it possible to brave the cold in style. Such warm materials are commonly made into tops, jackets, as well as shoes. One pair of shoes particularly coming into style are creepers, a style of shoe with thick crepe soles, often in combination with suede uppers. Fun fact: this style of footwear originally came into fashion in the years following World War II, and its clunky look channels the punk and grunge rebellious eras, and even gives off a preppy vibe. These shoes are sold by several brands in-
cluding Puma and Nike and are just one of the many examples of older fashion trends that are resurfacing this year. Sticking with the vintage theme, bomber jackets refer to a garment jacket type originally created for military pilots. Though they were first introduced in the mid-1950’s, they especially became part of popular culture and apparel in the 1990’s. Bomber jackets can be thrown over a simple t-shirt and worn casually, or over a buttondown for a more put-together look. Another fashion from the 90’s particularly making a comeback is the grunge look. The popularity of grunge and alternative rock music helped bring the simple, unpolished style into the mainstream by 1994. Inspired by the anti-conformist attitude of the time, the casual chic look often consisted of t-shirts, jeans, hoodies and other outfits that have carried into present day styles. The tough, distressed look has now taken its form in band tees, ripped jeans, and moto-pants. Famous grunge colors that have been evident in today’s fashion are olive and camel. Olive green is usually a casual color that can be

Camel is another popular color to add to a cold-weather wardrobe, as its neutral shade can be worn with almost anything. It is clear that styles of the past are once again being categorized as fashion forward. Several stores are taking these trends into consideration, like Zara with its 90’s
inspired turtlenecks, and Uniqlo’s wide selection of outerwear, such as parkas, trench coats, puffer jackets, and vests. Many of these high fashion pieces can even be found in parents’ closets. “Hand-me-downs have never looked so good,” says Michelle Steele ‘17, wearing her mom’s vintage Adidas Superstars.
Helicopter Parenting and the Effects of Sheltered Childhood
As students of an academically rigorous school, many pupils of Seattle Prep may be subject to what is referred to as “helicopter parenting,” or having overly-involved parents. High expectations for what is perceived as great accomplishments are set and many families enforce that their kids meet them. While it would seem that many believe this method to be a good way of ensuring academic success and keeping kids out of trouble, studies have shown that such parents are actually setting their kids up for failure later in life. Students are often expected to go to schools with high reputations and graduate with honors. Families who micromanage their kids in order to help them accomplish such feats end up pressuring
ANNIKA BJORNSON ‘18
them so much that they do things to please their parents, not to make themselves happy. Because of this. The mental health of college-aged kids is deteriorating. The American College Health Association found that 84.3 percent of kids were overwhelmed by what they had to do, 60.5 percent felt very sad, 51.3 percent felt overwhelming anxiety, and 8 percent seriously considered suicide. Some theorize that people are unable to cope with the stress of the decision-making processes, hurt feelings, etc., that come with troubles of the real world. Julie Lythcott-Haims, author of How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Over parenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid For Success, has served as a dean at many colleges. She recounts helping ones student
deal with the stress her father put on her when he threatened to divorce her mother if she did not major in economics. She was unhappy and had to take an extra three years to finish school, after which the parents got divorced anyway. Though an extreme example, this shows how the complete lack of control in her life and forced ideal of success imposed upon her had a negative impact. Ms. Bernal provides some insight into the parental decisions she makes with her children. She describes her interactions with them as seeing children playing on the playground and being ready to step in and help when they fall. She says she and her husband always attempt to find a middle ground between helping their kids be both
independent and successful. Whatever age their kids are, that is the amount of important decisions they should get to make per day. Anna Petgrave ‘17 feels her parents give her plenty of freedom and independence. She commented on the home situations she sees with other families, saying, “I think when parents are too much of helicopter parents, when they are overly involved and just always there to fall back on or give help, it makes their children less independent and less able to do things on their own.” Petgrave explains that part of growing up is making mistakes and learning from them, as well as figuring out how to deal with stress alone.

Revenant Surviving Zombies in High School: The Impossible Knife of Memory Crawls into Oscar Contention GEORGE KENT ‘17 Almost every person, animal, and landscape in director Alejandro Iñaritu’s new movie The Revenant is out to kill its protagonist, legendary frontiersman Hugh Glass. Glass, a rugged trapper and survivalist, is played by a teeth-gritting, spitting, rasping, bleeding Leonardo DiCaprio, whose seems to be desperately fighting for his long-desired Oscar, and succeeding. Director, cinematographers, writers, and actors have created a desolate and bleak landscape in which every action comes down to a desperate struggle for survival, and every conflict is kill or be killed. The Revenant is a movie focused to a single, sharp theme: Glass’ quest for revenge upon another trapper known only as Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy), the man who betrayed Glass and killed his son. Everything else – Natives searching for a lost princess, French fur trappers willing to kill Indians and Americans on sight, and of course an angry grizzly bear – are all just distractions to Glass’s ultimate goal. The movie boils its characters down to simple, powerful, and focused obsessions, and holds them up to legendary proportions. Glass literally crawls his way out of death time and time again, Fitzgerald is obsessed with self preservation, and Andrew Henry (Domhnall Gleeson), is the valiant captain, defined by his intense sense of honor. Excellent writing combined with dedicated acting brings these characters to life on screen and even further in the viewer’s imagination. When these forces collide, it’s like watching a hurricane. The Revenant is not for the queasy. Its violence is omnipresent, visceral, and made even more impactful by how visibly it is portrayed. Battle scenes are shot wide, allowing for a cohesive visual understanding of the entire scene, and the camera stays in motion, putting the viewer directly into the action. The Revenant is not a perfect film, but its faults are hard to pinpoint simply because, depending on the interpretation, they could be viewed as strengths. From beginning to end, The Revenant rests on the knife’s edge between just enough and too much. Yes, having no cuts in a fantastically choreographed fight scene is impressive, but is the same trick necessary when characters are chatting around a campfire? Yes, Glass is a mythical figure, but at what point does example after example of his invincibility become absurd? At points the movie seems so absorbed in itself that it forgets there is an audience that has to watch it. DiCaprio’s performance is constantly tortured (he really wants that Oscar) and every single shot is swooping, spinning, or dancing around the action. The Revenant is a movie that knows exactly what it wants, and achieves it in both its successes and failings. It gets a little wrapped up in itself, but a movie that overshoots its mark is far better than the countless ones that do not have any cohesive vision whatsoever. For that, The Revenant gets four out of five stars.
The Impossible Knife of Memoryfeaturing calculus, PTSD, and zombies (in a sense)-is a hard-hitting look into the way our pasts and private lives affect our day-today behavior. Hayley Kincain, the main character, has to care for her father while trying to survive at a new school. Her father is a war veteran suffering from PTSD, and Hayley has lived most of her life on the road, trying to escape from the ghosts that torment her dad on a daily basis. The story begins after Hayley and her dad return to her father’s hometown, where Hayley lived with her grandmother while her dad was overseas. Hoping fond childhood memories will drown out her father’s trauma, she agrees to attend a new school for her senior year as long as her dad tries to find and keep a job. At school, Hayley struggles with calculus and fitting in, calculus because she doesn’t see why she needs to know it, and fitting in because it seems like no one else has gone through what she has. When her childhood friend Grace introduces her to Finn, the sole resurrector of the school newspaper, she is baffled at his ability to dream of the future, while she and her father remain stuck in the past. The novel is a roller coaster of funny commentaries on high school from Hayley’s perspective mixed with many downturns into serious issues. According to Hayley, freaks and zombies figure prominently at high school. She proudly claims to be a freak, the superior species, while

most other people are zombies. The zombies laugh too loudly, and shove, trip, shout, or chase their way through the halls of the school, threatening to consume a freak’s brain in a moment of vulnerability. This metaphor is perfect, because it shows Hayley’s personal bias while also capturing the prevailing high school mentality of survival in a sea of isolation. The darker aspects of the book offer important insight into going through troubled times, especially with family. Usually these are centered around Hayley’s problems with her dad, or her friends’ issues in their own lives. Hayley’s dad loves her, and wants the best for her, but because of his PTSD he is not always capable of being there for her. Often, Hayley is the one who has to take care of him. Hayley has a difficult time with trust after her father’s
girlfriend walked out on them when she was younger. This translates directly to her social interactions at school, though she soon discovers that each of her friends deals with his or her own issues at home. Grace, her boyfriend Topher, and Finn are also trying to survive high school without becoming zombies. Hayley’s realization that her troubles are not so unique proves pivotal to her ability to survive and thrive. This book is not a story of finding a real family, or falling in love, or going on a life-changing adventure. It is about a girl whose entire existence is consumed by her past, and how her understanding of the present is shaped by those around her. It is also about how everyone is haunted by “the impossible knife of memory” and that all people are being forced to balance past and future while living in the now.
Miss Universe Crowning Gone Wrong
It would be almost impossible to find someone who did not hear about the Miss Universe debacle. On December 20, 2015, the Miss Universe pageant took place. At the end of the night, the finalists were Miss USA, Miss Columbia, and Miss Philippines, all beautiful and talented women. However, the night turned into a real drama when the host, Steve Harvey, announced Miss Columbia as the winner of the Miss Universe pageant. As Miss Columbia finished her walk down the runway as the champion of the night, Harvey intruded and made an unsuspected apology. Harvey cautiously announced that the real winner of Miss Universe was not Miss Columbia, but
MARIELLA SALUDARES ‘17
was in fact, Miss Philippines. After a series of shocked expressions, nothing could beat Gutierrez’s face when she realized that she had not won the competition. The crown was then placed on the head of Miss Philippines. Maddie Swanborn ‘17 shared her thoughts: “I heard about the story from Twitter, and I couldn’t believe it. I felt bad for Steve Harvey, but it is a good reminder that everyone makes mistakes!” Despite the controversy, everyone was more than excited for Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach, since a contestant from the Philippines had not won for the past 53 years. Wurtzbach was hesitant to take the
crown from Gutierrez, but could not hide her excitement that she had won the competition. Many analysts after the show believed that the reason Wurtzbach had won was because of the new online voting from fans. Immediately after the show ended, Harvey tweeted an apology to both Guterrez and Wurtzbach by saying, “I want to apologize empathetically to Miss Philippines and Miss Columbia. This was a terribly honest human mistake and I am so regretful.” Harvey may have apologized, but his mistake may never be forgotten.
Star Wars Divides Fans Loyal to Series
On December 18, 2015, Disney released the eighth episode of the Star Wars trilogy, entitled The Force Awakens. It has been 32 years since the last episode was released and fans were thrilled to see another adventure filled with Jedi, stormtroopers, and jaw-dropping battles. The movie got an 8.4 out of 10 from IMDb, 93% from Rotten Tomatoes, and an 81% from Metacritic. The Force Awakens gained 248 million dollars on opening night and a whopping 529 million dollars worldwide. The franchise has gathered many loyal followers since the premiere of the first movie in 1977. Star Wars fans come from around the world. From Tokyo to Brazil to a Jesuit school in Seattle called Seattle Prep. Students and faculty around Prep are fans of the movie and some share their thoughts on it.
ISABELLA YUSON ‘19
Juan Bernal ‘16 says, “I have seen all the episodes and some spinoffs. I thought the movie was a worthy addition to the set.” Will Lewis ‘17 says that the movie “reached my expectations and exceeded them.” On the other hand, Ms. McNeill says, “I really wanted to like it. It was fun to watch some of the old characters but it thought it was kind of derivative. I thought the characters were fun. I’m interested in what will happen next. I think I have to see it again to form my official position.” Since Star Wars is a science fiction and fantasy series that is filled with actionpacked scenes, there are handfuls of events that are the students and faculty’s favorite parts. Sophie Piacentini ‘19 states that to her, “the best part of the movie when Chewie and Han Solo come back.” There are also many scenes that
show the meetings of old and new characters. Mr. Barmore says, “I thought that the interactions between Finn and Poe were fun and when Finn and Rey are escaping Jakku.” Although there are many positive reviews about the film, there are some things that people think would have made it even better. Maren Kilmer ‘18 says to “not kill Han Solo and to change the ending since it was so anti climatic.” James Anderson ‘19 comments that it would be better “if it had a plot that was less like that of Episode IV.” Star Wars has been loved for many years and this latest episode of the legendary series will make the love last even longer.

Fantasy Football: Not Just an Imaginary Sport
7
PAUL WINEBRENNER ‘17 Without a doubt, there has been much to do about fantasy football this fall and winter semester, and with good reason. Everyone loves feeling smart about that waiver wire pick up that scored 30 points three straight weeks. The problem is, for the vast majority at Prep, fantasy loses are the source of much sadness and much table conversation. Nonetheless, there are so many people playing fantasy football now, it’s hard to avoid hearing the topic anywhere on campus. The topic of the draft and the waiver wire were the most discussed topic of any football related discussion around. As August turned to September, many fantasy leagues began. One horror story, as provided by Andy Brautigam ‘17 starts, “I was 1-4 to start the season. First on the waiver wire, I dropped 12 of my 16 original players and
picked up people like Charcandrick West and players who were hit or miss”. Fortunately for Andy Brautigam ‘17, he would bounce back and return to the level of decency that most Seattle Prep students attain in their leagues. Not all fantasy football general managers are as fortunate as Brautigam. Junior Gabe Berger lost his league and had to pay the penalty of straightening his hair for a week as punishment. Many players point to being flexible and picking up players throughout the season for help in a playoff run. Brautigam ‘17 commented, “I dropped 12 of my 16 original players and only just missed out on the playoffs. I went 5-3 down the stretch though and one of my pick ups, Tim Hightower, averaged 26!”
Hard Work Pays Off on the Road to State EMMA KELLY ‘16 Several weeks into the winter sports season, the Prep boy’s basketball team is looking solid. The boys are working hard to have a successful season, not even stopping during winter break. Prep’s dedicated boys basketball team left during their break on a trip to California to play in a tournament against some of the top teams in the nation and had a successful trip, putting up 58 points against the number one team in the nation. Panther of the Week winner from the fourth week of the winter season, Collin Welp ‘17, was selected for the All- American team from the tournament for his outstanding performance while in Palm Springs. From early morning open gyms to weight lifting several times a week, the Panthers have been working hard this season and will continue to do so in the coming weeks. Michael Van Hare ‘16, says about the team, “We’re a bunch of young guys who hope our hard work will pay off when it comes time for the postseason.” Some would say that the sixth man has been helping the team’s record.
The spirit of the Seattle Prep student section gets the entire gym pumped up and could deserve some credit for the many wins this season. Panther Pack member Brian Bowers ‘16 says, “Anything we can do or chant to give our boys an edge out there, we’ll lose our voices for it.” A wide range of game themes, determined by Prep’s spirit group, gets everyone excited. This year’s themes have ranged from a blackout at the game against Bishop Blanchet, to a Star Wars themed home game the weekend Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out. Following the recent win against Lakeside, both the referee and the Lion’s coach even called Prep’s student section the “most fun student section to play in front of.” Seniors Michael and Eric Van Hare are stepping up in their leadership roles for this year while younger players continue to contribute to the overall success of the team. In the coming games of this season, the boys are hoping to have yet another successful performance at state and a great rest of the winter season.
Intramurals: A Lunchtime Showdown ALLISON KEARNEY ‘19 During the winter sports season for those who do not play on a Prep basketball team, there is an intense lunchtime basketball league: intramurals. People of all basketball backgrounds are encouraged to play. Teams play in a number of games and then the best of the teams are placed into a tournament. The games are single elimination. There is a boys team winner and a girls team winner. Mr. Mack, the organizer of intramurals, says, “This is a way to offer noncompetitive, non-cut opportunities for students to have fun through athletics.” Intramural basketball started at Prep in 1993, yet many other high schools and colleges in the Seattle area had a larger
selection of intramural sports at that time. In addition to basketball, Prep also has an intramural kickball league during the spring sports season. Those who do not participate in the intramural program can be guaranteed a good time watching peers compete for the ultimate title of winning the tournament. Games take place during lunch time on selected days and the gym is opening to all students to watch and enjoy the riveting games. For Prep students who regret not playing in the basketball league, there is an opportunity to round up a team for the new kickball league. Kickball will begin with the start of the spring sports season.

Lady Panthers Take the Court ASLAN MCCURDY ‘17
This year, the Seattle Prep girls’ basketball team has been a model of what true sportsmanship should be. The team was already off to a great start at the beginning of the season, but they are continuing to impress the rest of the Seattle Prep community. As members of a tight-knit community, these girls focus on teamwork and sheer dedication to the game. Chinwe Ezeonu ’17, a member of the team, appreciates her teammates and has a genuine love for the sport. To Chinwe, the best part of being on the team is “being able to work hard, play hard, and get buckets with some of the coolest and sweetest girls in the world!” She later notes “the coaching staff is incredible; they are so encouraging and so fun to be around,” proving that coaches have a significant impact on the team’s moral. However, Chinwe is only one of the fabulous and dedicated girls in this community. The rest of the team is known by the Seattle Prep community as being supportive
and inclusive, on and off the court. The girls have been winning games like crazy. Focused on the mindset that “basketball is like photography, if you don’t focus, all you have is the negative,” a team quote, they have been able to overcome the odds and win some great games. In a recent game against Holy Names, they won 49-38. Early in the season, the team dominated both Eastside Catholic with a 53-38 win and Blanchet 6119. The girls are looking forward to competing against other teams that will challenge their abilities and be able to keep up with their caliber of playing. Everyone on the team is healthy and ready to take on whatever is next, so you can expect some fantastic wins from the girls team. The girls team is proof that if you work hard and are part of a great community, you will succeed. The Seattle Prep community can expect great things from the girls basketball team this season, so make sure to attend one of their games.
Boys End Swim Season with a Splash ALEXIS LOSSE ‘16
The Prep boys swim team definitely did well this season. The new head Coach Will Lowell did a great job of preparing these swimmers. This is Coach Lowell’s first time ever coaching the Prep boys swim team. He previously has coached Prep girls swim team and during this season, still made time to coach the Seattle select team, Cascade. Co-Captain Jack Clancy ‘16 says, “The bond that the guys share on this team is what brings people back each year and we honestly couldn’t ask for a better coach. I look forward to this season each year and it did not disappoint this time around.” Prep started out the season amazingly by winning their first meet against
Cleveland and followed that up with two more wins, only losing two meets the entire season against Lakeside and O’Dea. Co-Captain Alex Martin ‘16 said this about his last year swimming, “It’s very bittersweet. Although I’m sad it’s my last year with these great guys, every season is more fun than the last, and I couldn’t have asked for a better final swim season.” The Metro League Championship Swim Meet is coming up on February 5 at the Snohomish Aquatic Center and the preliminary district meet is on February 12 at Mary Wayte Pool. In honor of Districts, the swimmers who make it to districts will be sporting bleach-blond hair this next week.
