itting on the yellow First Student bus that shuttles Convent & Stuart Hall students between campuses, Jaden Newman looked out the window and the words “She a model” came into his head. Using Garageband and a microphone in his bedroom, Newman turned the three words into a song that has been played over 2500 times on SoundCloud. Better known for his athletic prowess, Newman is a four-year varsity basketball player as well as a two-year varsity baseball athlete. But Newman’s mind is always on his music. “I’ve always been singing, but I didn’t really start to do anything with it until Malik [Hale] told me [to pursue music],” Newman said. “Zeke [Crawford] had been telling me since freshman year, but I didn’t really listen to him because I am not very outgoing.”
Lookout | Jaden Newman ’17 looks over the courtyard at Stuart Hall High School early on a March morning. Newman has recently begun to release music online and is seeing increasing success.
Malik Hale ’16, known as D’angelo King on SoundCloud, and Zeke Crawford ’16 are a year older than Newman, but are good friends as they all played basketball together. “I told him to [start making music] because I saw how passionate he was about it,” Crawford said. “It’s like telling a fish to swim — I just saw he needed that push to follow his dreams and I gave it to him.” Known as Jaden Anthony on Soundcloud where he distributes his music for free, Newman uses his middle name in place of his surname. Newman hopes to increase his 11,000 Soundcloud plays by collaborating with other high school rappers like Dame Dinero, a rapper who attends St. Ignatius College Preparatory. Dinero owns one of the most popular songs made by a San Francisco high schooler in recent memory with 12,000 plays on his hit song on n Jaden Newman continues on 6

four grade levels, specializes in the creation and distribution of sports-related infographics. Tellini had the idea for over six months and continued to build on his idea throughout the school year until he officially launched on Feb. 4, according to Tellini. “I launched Visual Fanatic because it combines my passions for sports, statistics, entrepreneurship and media,” Tellini said. “I've always wanted a more visual form of quick consumption for news — particularly sports news — that uses statistics and data to entertain the audience.” Tellini says he hopes to produce a steady stream of content to attract viewers, but current scholastic commitments limit the staff ’s production efficiency. The company’s Twitter and Facebook pages post infographics every few days, but Tellini plans to produce content on a day-to-day basis once school lets out for the summer. “The Launch Grant would accelerate our growth through our Instagram marketing campaign,” Tellini said. “We'd be able to increase our growth rate by working with larger accounts from the get-go to boost our following. The effects of social growth are exponential, and the launch grant would increase
our principal, paying massive dividends down the line.” Few high school students have entered and qualified for the grant since the contest’s inception in 2015.

“I really had hoped for more high school applications,” President Ann Marie Krejcarek said after few high school students entered in the competition’s inaugural year. “I was disappointed with that number, but we’ll work on how we support that process.” As Visual Fanatic runs its business online, FreshSF and Corndogs are battling against each other on campus. The T-shirt selling companies began operations within weeks of each other in February. Corndogs founders, Michael Liu, Lance Fong and Kaito Henry, all juniors,
decided that their t-shirt business could use the $2,500 grant to forward their plans. “We were tired of watching people make clothes that none of us wanted to wear,” Henry said. “We felt the need to start making clothes that people wanted, and we want to use the grant to be able to increase our rate of production.” FreshSF, founded by juniors Nicholas Everest, Nicholas Watts and Sam Cormier, based its original T-shirt design off a drawing that Watts created in his International Baccalaureate visual arts class. “We decided to start FreshSF because we initially wanted to make cool shirts for ourselves,” Watts said, “then we realized that we could also make money and start a trend.” FreshSF prints its original logo along with newer designs on Hanes-brand shirts, the group has made some profit from the business. While they did enjoy an earlier success than Corndogs, they decided that joining the Innovation Launch Grant competition would not be an optimal move for their business. “We want to see how well we do on our own,” Watts said. “We are working on bunch of new designs and plan to release new stuff after spring break.” The deadline for all applications for the Launch Grant is April 23.

Sharing ideas can benefit individual, community

ith Stuart Hall students making headlines for starting businesses and making music, it is not hard to see that the Hall is filled with passionate people with inventive minds. From Visual Fanatic to FreshSF to Jaden Newman’s music, Stuart Hall is a place filled with great ideas and people who are energized to pursue them. The innovative mindset of Stuart Hall is not solely the students, however. The $2500, school-sponsored Launch Grant not only gives students the opportunity to turn dreams into reality, but is a message that no idea is too small to be considered and everyone should respect their own ideas. It is easier said than done to share ideas with others as it requires a confidence and vulnerability that can be challenging to muster. Allowing others to judge one’s ideas, which are an extension of a person himself, can be a risk that many people are reluctant to pursue. Individuals strengthen the community through sharing their ideas and inspiring those around them to do the same. Michael Tellini ’17 decided to start Visual Fanatic and now has eight other Stuart Hall students on his team. Nicholas Watts ’18 started FreshSF and was able
to form a team of both boys and girls who were willing to work towards the same goal. If Michael and Nick hadn’t had the courage to speak up, then then ideas for their businesses would have never seen the light of day. Their decision to speak up allowed them to develop their entrepreneurial and organizational skills. Courage and confidence come easier to some than others, but the achievements of Stuart Hall students show what can happen when a person is able to muster these traits. This risk can be nerve-racking to think about, but it requires trusting the Stuart Hall community, trusting one’s peers to respect ideas and thoughts. Stuart Hall students need to take the risk to share their ideas for the betterment of themselves and the community around them.
HE SAID, SHE SAID:
Do Convent & Stuart Hall students appreciate the arts? “I don’t hear conversations about visual or theatrical arts often, and that‘s because most people are too focused on talking about sports and the achievements athletes make. If there were more conversations about the arts, more students would recognize other students’ artistic achievements.”
“I know students at Stuart Hall High School undervalue the arts because our school is very sports-oriented. Although sports are great, people should also push themselves to participate more in visual, musical or theatrical arts.”
Ryan Minnis
Sophomore
“Some students notice how the art studio and backstage of the theater have gotten smaller, but do not pay attention to upgrades in our facilities and equipment. If students were to have an open mind, they would notice how improvements in our facilities allow kids to make great art.”
“If people took the time to look at the exhibits put together by Ms. [Patter] Hellstrom, they would appreciate the care and attention that goes into making art. Students could show each other some very cool student made visual artwork, and then they would get more interested.”

he University of North Carolina captured its sixth NCAA Div. I Men’s Basketball National championship in school history when it beat Gonzaga University 71-65, earlier this month. This achievement will stand in record books but the game itself will not be remembered in a few years as it lacked the excitement and suspense of previous championship games. One aspect of the game that was quite refreshing, however, was the legitimate student-athletes that made up the rosters of both teams. UNC and Gonzaga only had two likely first-round draft picks combined, a big change from previous games. Without any highly ranked recruits, the game still featured basketball at a high level, without requiring the talents of “one-anddone” players. The concept of a oneand-done player arose when the National Basketball Association imposed a rule in 2006 requiring all draft-eligible players to be 19 years old and one-year removed from their high school graduations before heading to the NBA, causing the great majority of the country’s top high school recruits to flock to colleges for a single basketball season in order to meet the requirement. The nation’s top high school talent such as Lebron James and Kobe Bryant were drafted straight out of high school prior to 2006. The implementation of the rule may seem like a positive addition that requires NBA players to further their

education, but the motivation behind the rule change did not have the education of the nation’s best basketball players at heart. Showing up to the easiest collegiate courses only to drop out once your team is eliminated from the NCAA March Madness tournament does not make NBA players smarter — it removes the qualities of college basketball that are cherished. The allure of college basketball is that country’s top student-athletes compete on the court while pursuing other interests. This does not mean that collegiate stars should stop going to the NBA, but they should have to choose whether they are athletes or student-athletes. The National Football League requires players to complete their junior season in order to be eligible for the draft, yet the NBA and NCAA stick to their one year rule so that they can increase their revenue. When UCLA and Kentucky squared off in the Sweet 16 there were six oneand-done players on the rosters. The game gained attention because the next generation of NBA stars were on the floor. Ticket sales and television viewing was up for the NCAA, and suspense around the NBA draft grew as well. UCLA lost and within 20 minutes its star player declared for the NBA draft. Within four days, its second best player followed suit. Following its loss in the Elite Eight, Kentucky’s stars declared as well. It’s time the NCAA remembers that its job is to provide athletics opportunities to students who are talented enough to compete, not generate athletes for professional leagues while lining their pockets with sponsorship money.
Sophomore
“Students don't know enough about the forms of art here because they pay more attention to sports. They should go to the plays and the art shows and see how much effort students put into the arts. Once students recognize the effort other students put into their work they would better appreciate the arts.”
“Students who value the arts should voice their opinions on how important art is for our community. Students will appreciate the arts if they realize others also appreciate the arts. Though some people may never completely value them, we can still talk about what we showcase, and get the word around.”

THE REAL COST
OF PROM W
Owen Fahy
Editor-in-Chief
ith prom season in full swing, the signature dance’s appearance on the horizon signals the arrival of one of the biggest school events of the year for upperclassmen, but disguised in the glamour of the night can be a host of social and financial pressures that students and their families must face in order to make the night happen. From “promposals” to tuxedos to transportation, prom night can run up an expense sheet very quickly. Prom and promposing cost families in the United States $919, with teens on the West Coast spending $596 on prom alone, according to a 2015 annual study by Visa. “Prom should be a fun experience for everyone, but the cost of renting or buying an tux can be stressful leading up to the big night,” Will Kahn ’18 said. “Sometimes it's helpful to have some things at your house, but good
deals at places like Men’s Wearhouse can come in clutch if you’re trying to find a tux to match your date’s colors or find the right fit.” The Men’s Wearhouse offers $40 off on tuxedo rentals for students with a simple promotion code that can be obtained from the front desk at the Pine & Octavia campus. Student Council also hosts a Facebook page where students can submit their promposals to a contest, with the winner receiving two free tickets. Having the best promposal in the school is a tall order, yet asking someone at all can be a great challenge of its own. Although asking a date is not required, the vast majority of Stuart Hall upperclassmen do, leaving those without an easy person to ask in a tough spot. “With no classes at Convent, it can be hard for me to form relationships with the Convent girls,” Gordon Smit ’18 said, “so it took more effort for me to find a date than someone who has class at
Convent daily.” Promposing is not the only pressure-filled event associated with prom, as statistics show that 74 percent of prom attendees felt pressure from their peers to drink, with 49 percent reporting pressure to do drugs, according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. “I look forward to prom as a chance to have a really good time,” Gordon Smit ’18 said, “but I do think the likelihood of kids doing something dangerous is higher because this night only occurs once a year.” The infrequency of the event has put the focus on the Student Councils of both schools to deliver a quality night. “We’re really excited to provide an opportunity for upperclassmen to have a phenomenal time,” Student Body President Michael Tellini ’17 said. “The event should be memorable, an experience that further unites the Junior Class and propels the seniors from our community with a great finale.”

his hit song on SoundCloud. Both Newman and his music have evolved since he started releasing his songs, becoming more upbeat as he tries to diversify his sound and give people a variety of songs to listen to. “My mom actually suggested that I write a song that people could dance to,” Newman said. “My mom supports what I do and isn’t a huge fan of what I say, but she knows that this is what I use to express myself.” Newman’s music tends to use explicit language, which may not please his mom, but its focus on girls and other topics that high schoolers can relate to has made it popular around campus. “It’s catchy and relatable,”
Gordon Smit ’18 said. “I can just listen to it anytime and it's always nice to be able support a guy like Jaden.” Newman says support from his family and friends

Keldsen excels on the water Junior makes waves sailing for Convent & Stuart Hall Anson Gordon-Creed

very other weekday, Mats Keldsen ’18 is on the water in the San Francisco Bay, practicing for SHHS sailing team and he hopes someday, the Olympics. Sailing with his father since he was 7 years old, Mats’ training consists of not just boat drills and practices of procedure and maneuvering, but also running and core exercises to be strong enough to operate a sailboat’s heavy equipment. “I’ve always felt a connection to the water,” Keldsen said, “especially when it’s less about competition, and more about teamwork and working together with new sailors. Being on the bay is such a great place to do that.” The St. Francis Yacht Club and instructors Brent Harill and Adam Corpuz-Lahne train high
school teams from all over the city at the marina between Fort Mason and the Presidio. Teenager sailors use Flying Junior sailboats or FJs, designed to be easy to use for inexperienced seafarers. Teams then compete in regattas, series of races over the course of a weekend. “He’s got a natural talent and a great work ethic,” Harill said. “His experience both from his travels around the world and his childhood helped him become a very skilled high school sailor.” Keldsen has sailed and raced for the United States national sailing team in Japan, Spain and Peru, and raced independently in Argentina. Although the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association bans sailing scholarships, Keldsen and his teammates hope to be directly recruited to colleges for their abilities.

Leaning | Mats Keldsen ’18 executes a maneuver with the help of his teammate at sailing practice on the San Francisco Bay. Kelden travels often for sailing regattas, going as far as South America to compete.
Aside from his instructors, Keldsen has been reaching out to other professional sailors of his yatch club for both training and opportunities. The minimum age to compete in Olympic sports is
only 16 years old, so Keldsen and many of his teammates will be eligible to compete by the time of the 2020 Tokyo Games. “We’re both skippers,” fellow sailor Michael Tellini ’17 said,”
which means we don’t sail together, but he’s a great sailor, great tactically, he’s been doing it a long time. I think he has bright future ahead of him.”

Golf looks to go undefeated Owen Fahy & Owen Murray
W
ith a tournament win and undefeated season to date, the golf team looks poised to capture its first-ever league title and contend for a North Coast Section title as well. “After a slow start to the year where we had some matches that we probably let get too close,” team captain Chris Potter ’17 said. “Our team is coming together at the right time and playing the best golf of the season.” With golf practice at the Presidio Golf Course four days a week and conditioning in the Presidio on Fridays, the team looks to see results in matches. To date, Stuart Hall has defeated University twice, Marin Academy twice, and the Bay school and Urban once. The team beat the Bay School with a 2-over par from the team’s top golfer, Gianluca Mori ’18, and a 6-over par from Chris Potter ’17. “Our match against Bay was a good start to the season,” Gianluca Mori ’18 said. “It’s always great to start with a win, and it gave us good momentum going into the season.”
The Knights followed that win by beating University with a score of 178-182, with No. 5 and 6-ranked golfers, Michael Tellini ’17 and Owen Fahy ’18, posting scores of +8 and +12, respectively. When the Knights and Devils met for a second time, the Knights prevailed by a much more convincing margin of 164188. Senior Hunter Tatham shot +4 to lead the Hall to victory. The Knights biggest challenge was in the form of Marin Academy who they have beaten twice this season with scores of 159-170 and 155-163. The team was scheduled to play a dozen or so matches this year before record-breaking rainfall drenched courses across the Bay Area. Four matches have already been cancelled, with rain to blame for three of them. The top six of 10 golfers compete in BCL league matches, while in the tournaments a more select group of the top performing student athletes play because an entire day of school is missed in order to compete. “In two of the tournaments, we only take four,” coach Kenneth
Harrington said. “On March 20 at the Meadow Club, they allowed five to play.” The team has already played in two of its three tournaments, where The Hall emerged triumphant on March 9 at the Bay Links Challenge. Gianluca Mori shot an impressive 74, only 2-over par, during that tournament, leading the Knights to the win. “The Bay Links challenge was a great win for us,” Mori said. “I personally felt that I played pretty well, but could have gone a lot lower. As a team I think we could have done a lot better. A win’s a win, but we just need to practice harder for the big event.” The next tournament for the Knights is on May 2 at Harding Park when six of the Knights golfers will compete in the league tournament, and a chance at an automatic berth in NCS. “I think we have a great shot at winning league this year,” Potter said. “Especially after a great win against Marin Academy. It feels great to beat them, first time we've won against them during my four years at the Hall.”
Swim team on the rise
A
Owen Murray Reporter
lthough swimming got off to a rocky start with three consecutive losses, the high-spirited team is on a roll. The team pulled away with an important win against Lick-Wilmerding on April 4. Captain John Abbot ’18 led the team by placing first in his 20 lap, 500 meter race. The team also dominated in competition against Urban on March 22, 63-28. Individuals earn points for their teams according to which place they come in, the first place athlete receiving the highest amount of points while the fifth place athlete receives the least. Teams get a combined score of their top athletes in each event scored. The boys fell to both Bentley and Drew 49-94 and 62-68 respectively in their first regular season meet, however the girls had a big victory against the latter, 109-50. The girls and boys compete
separately, but train together at Hamilton Recreation Center. “It’s nice because swimming is one sport where a lot of the people involved are freshmen and you can get to know other people through it,” Max Hoffman ’20 said. For team members, swimming proves to be just as much about getting to know Convent students and getting fit as it is about competition. “It’s a great way to get in shape and meet Convent girls through it,” Carlo Portillo-Eckman ’19 said. “It is just fun overall.” Despite the coed social aspect, the team has a frequent and rigorous training schedule. “We practice five days a week,” Portillo-Eckman said. “On Fridays, we are at the YMCA working out with weights, and then the other four days we are training hard in the pool.” Although the team doesn’t normally advance to postseason events, individual swimmers have the opportunity to go on to further competition if their times corre-
spond with the NCS requirements. Swimming has historically been more popular amongst the girls, but recently a new wave of male swimmers have joined the squad. “We have more guys doing it than last year, which make it easier for us to get points in the league,” Portillo-Eckman said.

rack and field athletes are looking to improve their personal record times while bringing in another league title after losing to University High School last year in the North Coast Section championships. “We are a very well-rounded team who has a good shot at defending our league title and reclaiming our section title,” coach Michael Buckley said. “It’ll take persistence, and we can’t rest on our laurels since we have good opponents. We have to be on top of our game.” Senior runners are training to achieve long-time goals as they finish off their last high school track and field season. “Alex McDonald ran well in the 110m hurdles (17.38), but really shone in the 300s, which he won outright in a time of 40.08, a new school record that currently ranks 5th in the NCS,” Buckley said. “We have lots of confidence in him against tough competition.” Although many of the team members are looking to personal bests or setting new records, some are nursing injuries. “Last year it looked like I would have a solid chance to run in college, but after a couple of injuries this season, I'm not sure if I’ll be able to,” Patrick Dilworth ’17 said. “This season I strained my hamstring and missed first
two-and-a-half weeks of track.” Dilworth has found some temporary strategies for training while he recovers from past injuries. “I have to wear knee braces every time I run,” Dilworth said. “I stretch my knees out frequently throughout the school day and have missed time because of my knees every single high school season I’ve ran.” Eli Horwitz ’17 competed at the Arcadia Invitational — a high caliber track meet in the United States, according to Buckley, on April 7 at Arcadia High School near Pasadena. “Arcadia is the biggest meet in the country, so it was really cool to have qualified,” Horwitz said. “My race at Arcadia was tough because the pace was slow. Nobody wanted to take on a fast pace and then burn out in the end.” Horwitz is still optimistic to win more races after difficulties due to calf discomfort during the Arcadia Invitational. “The race took a lot out of me. I finished in one of the slowest times of my life at 4:24 for a full mile,” Horwitz said. “I can’t say I’m not a little disappointed, but it’s caused me to be hungrier to run a personal best.” The next competition is set for April 29 at the American River College for the Sacramento Meet of Champions.
