oughly 2,600 students-infinite number of things to do. At State High, students take part in a myriad of different activities. Often times, the community places huge emphasis on the academic aspect of State High. While this is undoubtedly a crucial aspect of our school, the impressive projects that students devote so much me to outs ide of school are often overlooked . These activities span from sledding to biking, dancing to kateboardin g and everything in between. And more impressive than the hobbies themselves (yes, it gets ~ven better) is the passion behind them . These students dedicate countless hours to their special inter~sts, worki ng as hard as they can to perfect whatever they are working on-from spending hours in the jance studio everyday to constantly working on new boarding tricks. We spend so much of our time in ;chool, taki ng the same classes and wandering the same buildings, but it's what we do outside of school hat makes us stand out. )y Pau lina Pevzner

hough this year brought a lot of changes , one thing remained unshaken-State High's notorious school spirit, an essential element of the school atmosphere. The year started off with outdoor pep rallies to get everyone in the school riled up for first few football games of the year. As the team ' s season grew more and more successful , school spirit only rose with it. However, school spirit doesn't stop with football. All the fall sports teams joined forces for one of the biggest pep rallies of the year in October. The entire school gathered in the North Building auditorium and the captains of each team led the school in games and activities that included students of all ages. Homecoming also evoked spirit from the students. Many geared up for "spirit week" and teams and clubs participated in float building . Students proceeded to celebrate throughout the week, finishing off with the dance. This kind of spirit was demonstrated throughout the whole year, and students never failed to find ways stand out. No matter the weather, or where we ' re at, one thing ' s for sure .. .we 've got spirit, yes we do! by Paulina Pevzner

Jmulatively, our students have been everywhere . They've been from border to Jorder. They've baked in the sun and trumped through the snow. They've danced hrough the streets of Europe and visited the impoverished villages of Africa. No where State High students find themselves, they always manage to stand out nstantly continue to broaden their horizons . For example, senior Emma l<oide traveled through with Master Singers, jazz Band and Chamber Orchestra. "Being surrounded by languages otherthan n was awesome, and there are no words to describe how incredible it was put on concerts or sing ;s there in Europe," said l<oide.

e've all heard the age old advice to embrace our individuality and stand out. And as much as we may try to, at a school as big as State High it can be hard to find ways to make that happen. Nonetheless, our collection of 1e students never fail to find new ways to be ent instead of falling into the trap of con ty. For example, during Spirit Week, senior tniel Randolph grew out an Abe Lincoln beard and sported a paper hat and suit to 1. Another senior, Emily Porter, put her own >n No-Shave November: she pledged to not her legs until graduation. Other students 1ed their more serious passions, like fresh Cieryn Ziegler. Ziegler used her literary tal a publish her own novel--all before getting rter of the way through high school. School s like Poetry Out Loud and Hooverville also 1raged students to stand out. One thing High students can always be proud of is one-of-a-kind lifestyle.

all to winter. Winter to spring. Spring to summer, and all over again. Life has a funny way of seeming like the same thing is happening over ...and over... and over again. Luckily, there are a few holidays and reasons to celebrate sprinkled throughout the year that help keep us going and leave us something to look forward to. The excitement begins with homecoming. Teams and clubs work together to build floats and the whole student body takes part in Spirit Week. At the end of the week, all of State High is welcome to attend the homecoming dance . Shortly after homecomi ng wraps up, students begin preparations for Halloween, planning everything from costumes to parties . As November approaches, we wait patiently for three long weeks for the best meal of the year- Than ksgiving dinner. And before we know it, it' s the winter holiday season. As the snow begins to fall, the new year sneaks up and it's a time for resolutions and new beginnings. After that, some celebrate everything from Valentine's Day (while the rest of us wait for it to end) to St. Patty's Day. Through all the hooplas, pow-wows, fiestas and shindigs, one thing always proved true : State High kids can celebrate! by Paulina Pevzner

very day, every student at State High attends an English class at one point or another. Whether it is simply a standard English class like tenth grade English or a senior elective such as Modern Classics, they all have the same fundamentals of reading and writing. Many people may think the basis of learning in an English class is reading and writing, however most students have their own answer to the question : what is English? junior Adam Hoffman said, "English is an environment to express your ideology and personality on paper. English class is a way to try new styles and develop a more open mind about th e greater communicative world we live in today." English is also a place to think critically, read deeper and better understand a text. Many students hold a similar view on the subject. According to sophomore Tyler Campolongo, Engli sh classes are, "Great classes which ask questions that make one think out of the box." Sophomores James Hlywiak and jacob Herrera both agree English provided a lot of homework but they still have a good t ime. State High also offers many different types of Engl ish courses to students. Yuliya Smotrova, a senior, decided to take public speaking, an elective where students learned how to become comfortable speaking in front of aud iences. "[I wanted to] learn how to write effective speeches," said Smotrova. Senior Ashley Korman took a new English elective called Modern Classics. "It' s really fun, and I love the people in my class as we ll as Ms. Hoffman. We have a really great time!" said Korman. "I like the elective option because it gives me different perspectives on different subjects," said Sara Loebig, a senior who took Film and Media Studies and Modern Classics. In Film and Media Studies, students learned about media and its effects on American cultu re. These electives allowed students to look through a different lens to further explore the world of literature. Along with Modern Classics and Film and Media Studies, there were classes such as SciFi-Fantasy Literature, College writing and Sports and Adventure Literature. Even though there were different types of English classes, they all shared the same basis of learning: to improve our speaking, listening, reading and writ i ng and help us gain a better understanding of life.

hile some people view math as a time to brush up on common denominators and logarithms, others see the subject at a completely different angle. To them, math is a world of abstract solutions and inconceivable problems j ust waiting to be solved. For example, when asked what variable she wou ld be, )tate High Math teacher Mrs. Diane Mayberry said, "Y, because I am a little bit of a myste ry." =ortunately State High offers many classes allowing students to explore these unknown :lepths, creating an environment that produces exponentially motivated students. "If Ne look at the normal learning curve, we will see that the standard deviation of math is 1bove a z-score of 3. 5. Using a two-sample t-test, this is very high ," said junior Elisabeth 'aulson . Junior Danielle Feffer, who also took AP Statistics, said, "I don't think you can :ompare statistics to any other traditional math course. It's like apples and oranges." Many Math teachers also incorporate different techniques to involve more ;tudents in the subject. "My favorite thing about math this year has been having a :eacher who really offers outside help when I've missed school , or things just don't 11ake sense," said sophomore Stephen Zimmerer. These ratio1al teachers face the daily challenge of encouraging their stu:lents to try their best in a difficult subject. "Many students ~et to the 12th grade convinced that they cannot do math. I 1ave to convince them otherwise," said Advanced Precalculus md AB calculus teacher Mr. Erol McGowan. Mr. Fravel, Precal:ulus and AP Statistics teacher, reflected on the difficulties as Nell, saying, 'The most challenging part of teaching math, the Jart I enjoy the most, is being able to connect with each and ~very student on their individual level of thinking, and explain he concept in a way that matches their style of learning." These strategies aid students in beoming better 11athematicians, and open up opportunities to take the sub ect further. David Drago, a senior in Advanced Topics, said , 'Everything we do is really impossible to understand on the 'irst go, and most of the time Mr. Somers leaves the hardest Jarts for us to try to figure out amongst ourselves." Although hese challenges often frustrate students, the process of Norking through the issues strengthens problem solving skills 'or future moments inside and outside of the classroom. After :ompleting the different levels of math, students are essenially prepared to leave State High with a well rounded basis 'or life, and math , after high school. Article by Kate Carpenter

n the lO,OOOth try, there was light. Thomas Edison, ju st like any other student who carried the characteristics of optimism, curiosity and determination succeeded in raising the bar for science. Similarly, State Hi gh allows students the opportunity to take different science classes that ultim ately prepare them to take on t he challenges of life, and to show them how to rai se the bar even higher. Some of these classes include Earth Systems Science, Oceanography, Biology, Chemi st ry and Physics, all focusing on a different core topic that further students' understanding of the world we live in. "Without science we wouldn't have all these advancements in society like telephones , televisions or refrigerators ," said jun ior Sydney Behnken. Many students look to science classes f or an explanation of the many cu riosities of how and w hy things work. At State High there are many branches of sc ience classe s to explain these question s; even answering the smallest of inquiries such as the number of particles in a mole. "I have a much better understanding of w hat happens in my favorite show, Untold Stories ofthe ER. Also, from Anatomy and Physio logy, I learn the basic knowledge of parts of t he body and th eir functions," said senior Emily Porter. The benefits that science has created for our w orld are amazing, helping people, animals and much more. Science teachers guide us to believe we can achieve and we can make a difference. State High cares about our intere st s and what we want to do in our future, offering the classes we need to succeed. Our school exceeds the minimal req uirements with helpful classes t hat most schoo ls do not offer. "I plan to major in nursing next yea r and the curriculum includes a lot of biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology," said Porter. Most of us can agree the standard for science w ill constantly be raised and make valuable advancements to our eve ry day lives. "Most of us would not be here today if we didn't have science, " said Behnken. As for us all, we are the future. Article by Marie Matthews

ho? What? Where? When? Why? How? The most important questions of history can be so simple, but the answers can be so complex . To answer these questions, State High offers classes that explain the growth and development of our world. "I really enjoy American History because I like learning about my country and how it transformed into what it is today, " said junior Emma Fivek. Beyond our school borders, engaging in intellectual conversations can sometimes be a challenge without the proper knowledge. Sophomore Elaine Hinrichs said, "World History has helped me outside of class when I talk with adults because I feel like I have enough background information to keep up with the conversation." Conversations are just the basics, but when it comes to debating you must have your information correct and stand tall with what you believe . "In one particular class it was me debating against everyone else. The class taught me to stick to my guns and not let others influence you," said junior Catherine Malizia. Not only does the Social Studies department help students engage in debates and conversations, it helps them understand the goings on of our country and other parts of the world. "It's really interesting how learning about the past can help us in the future," said freshman Carter Freije. " I think that it will help me realize the good and bad in our economy. In addition, I will have past situations to relate to the current events," said Malizia. To cope with the economy there are two sides to every story but a lot of people cannot look at the other side. Some electives are offered that can help with that. "Psychology makes you understand people better. You know why people are the way they are, and you can be more understanding," said senior Mauvette Malizia. Overall, the classes offered at State High in the Social Studies department cover our main questions about the past and help us gain a better understanding of how we should deal with our world .

any school districts across the country offer students the chance to learn foreign languages, ultimately preparing them to take a place among a growing global society. In years past, schools have simply settled for the common languages of Spanish, German and French. However, as times change, schools realize the need to expand and offer more. State High, being one of these schools, has broadened the foreign language department with Latin, Arabic and Chinese. These three prominent world languages allow students to develop their understanding of world cultures while also learning entirely new alphabets and characters. "My family speaks Arabic and I want to be able to communicate with those family members who can't speak English," said sophomore Amel Awadelkarim. While Mrs. Lina Eid is currently teaching the Arabic 1 class, the Chinese class is taught by two students, junior Emily Zheng and sophomore Lillian Xu. "Mrs. Donovan first approached us with the idea," said Zheng . "We wanted to see what it would be like on the 'other side'," said Xu. When asked what teaching students her own age is like, Xu said, "It's hard to balance out being a friend and a teacher. You want to have fun but you want to teach them as well." Many other students who do not participate in the Arabic and Chinese classes have excelled in the other languages. Eli Campbell, a junior in Advanced French 4, explained his reasoning for taking the language. "Someday I actually hope to be able to think in French. It would be awesome you know?" junior Cody Moore also explains why he decided to take Latin, "Latin, unlike other languages, is an ancient form of reading and writing. Nearly all of the words we use today in English derive from Latin roots. It's simply something interesting to learn and carry with you in life." Learning these languages not only aids students in understanding English, but opens doors and creates opportunities that could not be attained any other way. "Speaking another language, even if you're not fluent, opens doors into other cultures, and as Americans, I think it helps other countries or other cultures see us as less ethnocentric in the world," said World Language department head and French 4 teacher, Mrs. Marty Young .

usic has been an influential part of society for thousands of years, culminating from ·primitive percussion instruments to the complex forms of saxophones, cellos, and tubas we know today. Music seems to be everywhere too, from the movies we watch to the greeting cards we buy. Howver, for those who want more than just easy listening and strive to create the magic Jr themselves, State High offers classes to fulfill every musical taste. Whether it's ocking out to well known hits of the 80s during Rock Ensemble, or perfecting the ounds of classical and contemporary composers during Orchestra, most students ind a class to adequate ly express their musical interests. "Rock Ensemble's great •ecause you get to perform and play mu sic with other musicians in a more personal etting than Orchestra or Band," said sophomore Walker Mulley. These classes are not only about quarter notes and fermatas though, they .lso open students up to other countries around the world. Students are able to :!arn the unique harmonics that pertain to individual countries, the dynamics that •nly ring true to certain folk songs, and a language that is nore common than English, French, or Spanish. The State High .ymphonic Band expanded on this cultural belief for its winter oncert this past year, featuring music from countries such as :orea and Russia. "I liked Korean Folk Songs because of the vhole pentatonic scale element. It was nice to have the diferent sca le eleme nts of a different culture and to learn about hat sort of stuff," said junior Eli Campbe ll. These classes have tlso been able to attain first hand experiences of other cu lures by performing at international music venues. "The best >art was watching how eve n though we couldn't understand !ach other, we still spread our message to the Europeans," .aid senior Michael Marini. On a more classical note, the Orchestra classes explored he musical depths of the baroque period and twentieth cenury this past year. "Last semester, the full orchestra played tn Aaron Copland piece cal led John Henry. It is based on the 'able abo ut a man who was supposed ly faster and stronger han machines at building railroads. It was fun to play music hat was excitin g and that told a story," said junior Michelle _enze. Whatever one's love for music may be, the classes at )tate High al low students to define and exp lore these genres n new and innovative ways. Article by Kate Carpenter

s Pablo Picasso once said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." Art students at State High seem to have no such problem. Taking full advantage of the many cou rse s available to them, these students have transit ioned from days of paper and crayons to graphic design and silk-screening. "Art is important because it's so individual, when everyone puts their pieces up on th e board, you get twenty completely different ways to see the same ordinary world," said junior Pierie Korostoff. Many other students seem to agree. Freshman and seniors ali ke can begin this process w ith introductory courses allowing them to explore different types of art. Basic Drawing and Ceram ics are two such courses, opening up new styles to those looking to develop th eir passion or simply a start som ething new. With these classes, students can decide if a particular medium of art is right for them-an d have a good time alon g the way. Natural artists and those loo king for a fun creative output alike are we lcome. "I always loved making earrings. I've been making j ewe lry since I was really littl e, and I wanted to find out more and get some instructions," said freshman Emily Dennis. Classes like Jewe lry-Making, Ceramics and Photo Arts offer a combination of advanced techniques with a laid-back atmosphere for stude nts of all grades. "As a senior, I thought Ceramics would be a fun class to end the year with," said Bill Corbett. The more advanced art classes are as varied as the students who ta ke them. Silk-sc reening all ows students to design and create their own sh irts, a challenging but ultimately rewarding skill. Other classes like Etching and Lithography, Painting and Filmmaking ensure that everyone can find an art class that suits them. "My favorite art class so far has been painting. I've been in love with using color and acrylic paints since I took it, " said Korostoff. Whether students are looking for a chance to develop professional skill s or unw ind from the stress of high school, State Hi gh's art program is sure to please. The blend of supportive teachers, animated students and diverse class choices is a masterpiece that all of State High can appreciate . Article by Sara Birmingham

un, jump, pass, spike! These are common heart racers in gym classes in both the North and South buildings. Gym activities vary from swimming, to volleyball, to tennis, to rock climbing and all are sure to help you take that step to getting more in shape. Though gym is a mandatory co urse, various types of classes are avai lable to students. Regular gym meets every day for half a year. "Gym, I feel, should be taken more advantage of, to widen your variety and experience of sport activities that you have the opportunity to participate in," said junior Adam Hoffman. Another option is the Honors Gym course that is a full year course and meets every day. Students who choose to take this class often look for more rigorous and competitive options. Gym by correspondence is another option for students to take advantage of by completing the required gym credit outside of school. Students who participate in Independent Gym are involved in sports outside of school that are not available through the Phys Ed department or after school activities. "It [Independent Gym] allows me to get all of my work done in school which makes things less overwhelming," said senior Mariel Echemendia who has done independent gym since freshman year. While correspondence courses have certain benefits, in school Phys Ed also provides students with opportunities that can not be attained outside of the classroom. Students in Phys Ed are given the chance to exercise with friends, learn about team work, and compete in a safe and fun environment. It makes working out a lot more enjoyable and builds friendships through cooperation during class games or activities. Driving is a large part of any teenager's life, but before getting a license or even a permit, students must take the marking period course , Driver Ed. "It 's beneficial, but can be boring," said sophomore Brittnee Evangelista. During this course, students learn about the ways to stay safe on the road. At some point during the course, two people from MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) come in and talk about their experience with drunk driving. "It was very emotional, and it made you realize how valuable life is and that you need to be careful on the road," said Evangelista. Both Driver Ed and Phys Ed are classes designed to make students healthier and safer in their everyday lives. Article by Emily Bedell

''Can we fix it? Yes we can!" While many students have a deep appreciation for Bob the Builder's incredible skills, some find they want to deve lop their own abilities once they get to high school. State High encouraged these desires by providing students with classes that developed the necessary skills to become successful in the many fields associated with technology education. These classes included different levels of woodworking, electronics, and computer graphics, and taught students the necessary techniques wh ile updating them with new advances that come up in their field of interest. For those students who had more focused ideas about their futures and possible careers, State High provided certain courses that prepared students for jobs after high school or admittance into trade schools. These courses included Culinary Arts, Agricultural Science, Automotive Technology, Drafting and Design, Early Childhood Development and many others. With a full auto body shop, an in-school day care, and a commercial grade kitchen, students were able to experience the fu ll effect of a work environment during the eight period school day. In Understanding You ng Children, students were also able to take home babies that demonstrated the same habits that infants do. "You take the baby home to learn more about what infants do," said freshman Lindsay Watkins. Students could also use this program to work during the school day and earn credits for the amount of time spent working in their field of study outside of schoo l. "Understanding Young Children he lped reassure myself that I want to work with children later in life," said junior Janelle DelSignore. Along with the CTC and Tech Ed programs, students were also able to take FCS classes that taught them the necessary ski lls for life during and after high school. Classes like Senior Foods educated students on easy meals to prepare in college. Baking with a Gourmet Touch introduces students to different techniques for reviewing baked goods. Fashion and Technology showed interested fashionistas how to make their designs come to life. "I decided to take Senior Foods to learn how to cook whenever I go off to college," said senior Kyle Sam.

ADD, also known as Students Against Destructive Decisions, accompli shed a lot this year in terms of educating others about the dangers of bad choices. At the beginning of the year, SADD members dressed in all black and at the sound of a chi lling bell, left their classrooms and sat in portions of the hall ways. After every be ll that rang throughout the day, they revealed different to spell out a statistic about how many people die each day due to alcohol related inciln April , members of SADD traveled to Mount Nittany and Park Fores t Middle Schools sent a movie they had made about the rea lity of high school parties and to discuss ctive decisions in general. SADD ended the year with its two biggest events. Mock Acciook place in May, which puts on a mock car accident showing the dangers of drinking ·iving. In June, they put on their biggest show titled Mr. State High, or in other words, ~ beauty pageant full of outgoing senior men strutting their stuff. "I love being with ~who have the same va lu es as me and are able to have fun while BEING RESPONSIBLE," said senior and member Taylor Springer, reflecting on why she joined. SADD made it its mi ssion this past year to educate high school and midd le school students about making good choices, and what can happen when you don't. Humane Iss ues was a club that worked to educate the community about ways to fight animal cruelty. The club took various field trips to work with animals. "At first I joined because I had a lot of fri ends in the club and I love an imals, then I learned more abo ut the iss ues and became more determined to help, " said se nior Juli a Zuhlke. "I want to continue to pursue the fight by volunteering and educating others." Article by Caro lyn Harp ster

at do Ren Faire, ocketry and Book Club all have in common? They all need creativity and persistence . From building small rockets from scraps and building a town f rom wood ands tents, to building a discussion from a few questions, these members really put a lot of time into their clubs. From candy apples and sword fights, to archery and goods from a time long gone, the Faire keeps the students and staff coming back for more - or seconds and thirds. Starting in the fall, dedicated Ren Faire members planned, constructed and practiced for the one day in the Spring. This year the plot was "Her Maj~ueen Elizabeth Regina Gloriana decides in her utmost wisdom to tour her fine country, .nd." Breaching the gap between modern day and eras past, The Book Club discussed s such as Persepolis, The Princess Bride and I Am the Messenger, among them , Founder >resident, junior Sarah Geselowitz brought her peers into far off land s where anything 1appen. Geselowitz remembers the Hallowee n party, where all the members dressed up aracters from a novel. "Not only did we get to dress up as our favorite characters , we 1ad a great feast." Coming back to the modern era, Rocketry club defies gravity with its !ts twice a week.

the world's a stage, or so the members of Thespians, Black Box and the Talent Show believe. These students act, sing, dance, joke, and generally entertain State High. By performing for their peers and other community members, these performers represent the collective talent of our school and showcase their individual skill. This year's Talent Show allowed students with unique talents to step into the spotlight. The winner of the show, which had a theme of "Hidden Treasures ," was senior Russell Jordan Poole. Poole blew away the judges and audience with his original standup routine. "Jordan 's talent is unrivaled in the State College area, " said fellow Talent Show performer and senior Taylor Nodell. "He should be touring nationally in a couple of years. I call it." State High Thespians also showcased their collective talent with a performance of "Sympathy Jones," a play written by State High alum Masi Asare. Their production was selected as one of ten main-stage shows to be presented at the 2010 National Thespian Conference in Lincoln, Nebraska. "You really form bonds with the people you're with because you put yourself out there in front of them every day, singing and acting and dancing," said sophomore Stephen Zimmerer. Everyone has to work as a team to pull a show together." Black Box, State High's improvisational comedy group, entertains with laughter and a touch of silliness. Their members did not want to be quoted for the article, but insisted that any quote used contain the word "poop." For the students and adults involved in State High, these groups provide a way to come together and celebrate our talent: performance. By taking the stage, these students show what they can accomplish with a fearless attitude and a chance to shine . Article by Sara Birmingham

Jazz Band and Jazz Band II are clubs in which students can audition to become members. "We play rigorous yet exciting and fun pieces," said senior Michael Marini, "the music selection this year has been spectacular." The Jazz Band travels to various Jazz Competitions all over the world includ ing Italy, Spain and many other countries . Many students who are members of Jazz Band have been playing in the band for all of high school. Yosef Berlyand has been in Jazz Band since freshman year. "Jazz Band has been an awesome ex perience over my four years at State High," said Berlyand , "I have really enjoyed the music choices and the people that I've gotten to know so well during it." State High students can learn the basics to advanced moves in Swing Dance. This after school act ivity has attracted tons of students from all grade levels. "Swing Dance is great because I'm learning a fun skill and a ton of my friends are in it so we just have a fun time," said so phomore Austin Bowen. Senior Eric Margusity has been a member of Swing Dance since freshman year. "I joined the club because my friend , who created the club, asked me to come," said Margusity, " it has been a great time over the years. I love the freedom of ex pression.

e think and we feel. We ask and we answer. Here at State High we answer the call to action. These four clubs have outperformed their expectations this year, tackling more projects than ever. Each project was specifically dedicated to ful fill the needs of others. State High has groups that work at the school, community, national, and world level. Little Lion Ambassadors works almost exclusively at the school level, we lcoming new students to State High and volunteering at any other school event: "Everyone should be able to walk through the hallway, see a familiar face and shout hello," said junior Catherine Malizia, "It helps people <e they can be themselves and make the best of being at school." Leo Club fulfills the tage of volunteering: community. Taking on projects like the Food Drive, Supplies for rs and handing out hot chocolate and popcorn dow ntown, Leo Club has once again 1plished more than expected. Zooming farther out, Key Club contributed immeasurours to the productivity of this nation. The incredibly popular and successful All Night ball event raised nearly $20,000 for various charities, including Key Club' s very own elphia Project.

r a long day at school, we all seek a little de-stressing. It would be virtually impossible to survive a week of high school without some relaxing hobby to suppress our stress. Various clubs at State High aid students in their quest for relaxation. Two clubs focus on the digital world for an escape. The first, Gaming Club, indulges in the video game experience. Located in one room, the members play with and against each other over a network connection. Hoots and hollers fill the room as the Halo guns ring aloud . "I like gaming club because we all have similar interests, and cooperate w ith each other, mostly," said junior Dominic Houtz, "If we set special rul es for something, everyone follows them." Gaming Club met almost every Wednesday this year. DDR/ Guitar Hero Club also uses technology as a means of relaxation. Every Friday the members gather around the the large projector screen in the library to enhance the gaming experience. But who said that technology was the only way to have a good time? Other students at State High have found some unconventional ways to find their place of zen. For example, on any given Wednesday you may find the South Building lobby scattered with ping-pong tables . "It's a fun activity after sc hool when I'm not doing my homework or studying ," said junior Nicholas Schmidt, "It' s another sport that I can wreck Sam Galambos at." Yet, it doesn't take a video game or sport to entertain everyone. The Fitness Club finds pleasure in pumping iron and breaking a sweat. "I just like th e way you can release all of your stress and feel good at the same time," said junior Brandon Hess. As demonstrated in these clubs, everyone had their own unique method of coping with school anxiety. Article by Daniel Cohen

Elected by their very own classes, the individual senates have demonstrated their determination to listen and most importantly to execute. The Freshman Senate successfully carried out the first Fre shmen-on ly pep rally. The Sophomore Senate worked in tandem with the Freshman Senate this year, putting together another successful underclassman dance. During the Senate-Sponsored Dance Marathon, the sophomores helped in various ways. "We were in charge of advertising," said president Walker Mulley, "and also making and hanging four large banners. That was by far the hardest part of Dance Marathon. The masking tape was not strong enough to ho ld the posters." The junior Senate took control of numerous tasks this year. Perhaps the biggest event of the year for juniors, junior Prom, was a huge success with an innovative theme of "Releasing the Butterflies." They also sponsored the Special Olympics walk at Beaver Stadium with well over 80 people attending. The Senior Senate represented the graduating class with pride, poise and personality. "I enjoyed planning fun events for the seniors," said Senior Senate member Liz Novack, "as well as just being the voice of the class. " Gu iding with their experience, they took control and perfectly executed the year's pep rallies, Dance Marathon and Senior Prom .

They explore a wide variety of tools that would help them for the future. "Many people tend to come to the meetings, and it's fun, " said Jon Battista, a sophomore in DECA. The DECA Club went on some exciting trips this year, in cluding an excursion to Philadelphia to watch a 76ers game, where they learned about the business aspect behind the franchise.

Some people are good at knitting a blanket for their cat. And others are good at thinking. Sure, we all think but do we all think intuitively? The skill of thinking cannot be understated . At State High, we are given almost limitless opportunities to maximize our thinking capabilities. These four clubs emphasize hard work ethic, mental discipline and control, and lastly, a dedication to think. Knowledge Masters, a quiz-bowl style team, continued its reign of terror this year. The A-Team, composed of David Liu, Christoph Schlom, Graham Moyer, and Monica Mclaughlin, took first place in the extremely competitive, annual Harvard Tournament. The B-and C-Teams usually followed suit, often placing in the top ten. Yet success was not concentrated in only one group this year. Academic Decathlon accomplished perhaps more than ever. This year's theme, the French Revolution, influenced many of the ten separate categories . State High's team returned home with numerous gold, silver, and bronze medals. Also, again leading the academic field, the Forensic team had another astonishing year. From Policy to Duo Interpretation, the Forensics team achieved their goals on all levels. "Public speaking is a facet of our everyday lives. I felt by joining Forensics, my debate and public speaking skills would ex ponentially improve," said sophomore Nicholas Lyon. Lastly, as always, the Chess Club continued their extensive learning of strategy though repetitive analysis of the world's most intriguing games. "It's not a simple game to play like a card game like war or solitaire where it's luck of the draw. It 's wits and strategies that help you prevail, " said senior Lincoln Kennedy.

This year, for example, Habi tat for Humanity hosted a Sadie Hawkins dance and other events to help raise money for the community and have fun at the same time. "I like Habitat because it's a blast! Everyone in the club is really nice and I met a ton of new people," said Noelle Rosellini, sophomore and frequent attendee at the Habitat for Humanity club meetings. "We get to put on fundraisers like dances and tournaments to raise money for people who need it, we have fun and we get to help people at the same time." The money they raise goes to the local Habitat for Humanity organization. The State High Habitat for Humanity is an important offshoot of this local Habitat for Human ity organization as it continues to connect students with their communities. The Enviorthon Club does environment related activities, such as identifying common animals and plants located around the state. They also attended a seminar by David Wilcove , who discussed the effect that palm oil has on the environment. Green Sierra Coalition seeks out opportunities in the area for kids to get involved in nature and the environment, sending them outdoors to do act ivities related to helping and improving, or studying the environment, instead of them being inside and playing around with video games . The Outing Club focuses on exploring and hiking through nature. They go out on camping trips and hiking treks, and often spend their meetings planning for their next excursion.

~- hard to sum up a high school experience in mere words. For these times,

some State High students turn to music. Although the members of OMA, Cecilian Singers, Marching Band, and Tri-M are as diverse as the songs they perform, all of them work together to further the ensembles and their own liiliii•~ kills. For members of Marching Band, the job goes beyond cheering up the "Most people see it as the 'Rah, Rah Rah ' going down the field. To me, it's a lot :r .. .we're representing our music program, which is one of the best in the nation," said ·and drum major Darren Balkey. Tri-M, an association for students in multiple musical ades, represents the Music program and maintains a strong community focus . "A lot of e think of community service as someth ing we have to do ... ln Tri-M, we play at nursing s and raise money for various charities but we have a lot of fun," said senior Maddie >ck. Just as enthusiastic abo ut music are members of OMA, or "On ly Men Aloud, " an ·classmen choir. "[OMA is] so fun and it's relaxed. Mr. Drafall is a great teacher and I've learned so much wh ile being in OMA," said senior Matt Hughes . Members of Cecilian Singers, the corresponding all-girl choir, are equally appreciative of the chance to participate in a gifted ensemble. "[Ceci lian Si ngers] gives girls who maybe didn't make it or audition for other choirs an opportunity to still be involved in a choir, and a really talented choir at that," said senior Sara Larsen. Whatever the ensemble, these talented students lift their voices and their instruments to help develop their own talents, enrich the community, and support one another through the simple act of making music.

(It's a wonder how we survive the occasional sleepless night without losing perspective, or our sanity, for that matter.) Sometimes all we need is a creative outlet. Or two. Or three. That's why State High offers groups where students can to sit back, relax, and let their creative juices flow. Organizations such as Art Club and the National Art Honors Society give students the chance to express themselves visual ly through art-orientated fundraisers and mural projects. "My favorite part about ub is the relaxed environment where I'm free to express myself and my creativity in a ;-on way," said senior Emma l<oide.

ew clubs engage in the work that goes on in the Model UN, Youth and Government or Student Government clubs . These clubs recreate the workings of the . . . . . .government activities that happen in not just Washington, but across the seas in other diplomatic events. The workings of Model UN aim to cover the events that happen in all government workings, whether it be recreating an ambassador's duties to an overseas conference. "I thoroughly enjoyed learning about other countries ," said sophomore Kevin Duffy, a frequent participant in the Model UN. The club traveled to Juniata College for a day trip to debate various topics relating from a conflict in the middle east to human trafficking in eastern Europe . "Mrs. l<ononov and Mrs. Delafield were very supportive through the whole process," said Duffy. The Student Government participants are elected to their respective position, through a school-wide vote. These motivated students are devoted to improving the school atmosphere. For example, this year, Student Government discussed whether or not to get ATMS in the school, teacher evaluations and activity fees . The work of Youth and Government is almost identical to that of Student Government, choosing to examine the workings of the state government and attend meetings where they discuss current state issues with state administrators, elected officials , and other high school students from 40 other high schools located throughout the state. They would also hold mock state legislations where they vote on bills other students from around the state have created. Every club gives a student the chance to see what it would be like to be a political worker, thus opening up new career opportunities, or at least giving them a look at that respective area.

here 1s no question that State High offers students exceptional opportunities when it comes to clubs, and those in the technology, construction, and agricultural fields easily live up to this standard. TSA, an organization that develops students' understanding of modern technology, creates opportunities for students to showcase their work at local, state, and national levels . "TSA is a real swell time. We like to curbstomp the competition and clean up at states ," said juniors David VanHoof and Doug Jordan. For those students who want to take technology and media slightly farther, State High offers T.E.C.S. This club provides students with a place to discuss ideas , test theories, and apply their knowledge to real world situations. Members have written computer programs and helped create a cyber school for the school district. But for those who are drawn to more hands on projects, State High offers NAHB. Students in NAHB must be involved in Building Construction, Drafting and Design Technology, or Woodworking courses, and can use this club as a way to gain more knowledge in the field of their interest. NAHB provides students with field trips and guest lecturers, and offers many scholarship opportunities. For those students interested in agricultu re and leadership experience, State High offers a local chapter of F.F.A. Members of this club learn about public speaking, career development, and community improvement. So whereever your interests lie, whether it's technology, construction, or agriculture, State High is bound to have a club to enhance your knowled and p de invaluable experience.

II year long, students in the WSCH Broadcast, Lions' Digest Newspaper, Little Lion Yearbook and Acclivity Magazine clubs wrote, announced and worked hard to inform State High of all of the opportunities and news at State High . Acclivity staff members read many submissions from February until June, and picked the best to showcase. From paintings, drawings, poems, short stories, and screen prints, Acclivity put together incredible magazine in one school year. Keeping the school updated on Acclivity and other news, :H put on a successful broadcast week after week, day after day. The morning announcers trekked >school early to broadcast the day's events. Sophomore Randi Leath helped to manage the producl behind the cameras. "I love working with WSCH. I've always been set on being a doctor but since arted WSCH I have begun to think about a possible career in production, maybe a movie producer r.v. producer." Every month, the Lions' Digest featured news, opinions, sports, and great enter•ment. Editor-in-Chief, Senior Melissa Bradley, remarked that "compiling a monthly publication is re stressful than people expect or realizeinvolves so much time, energy, and chaos. at the end of each cycle when I'm holding final product, a visual reminder of the pre .Js month's efforts, it's incredibly reward ." Helping preserve those lasting memories, :e High's Yearbook staff spent the whole r attending sporting events, dances, guest akers, fairs, club meetings, classes and cial events held at the school to capture se memories. "I will miss the friends I made the teachers I got to know over the four rs of Journalism," said Senior Alyssa Sebastelli. WSCH, Lions' Digest, Yearbook and livity worked hard to preserve those mem ble moments, meeting s, classes, pieces of and games that made the 2009 and 2010 ool year a great year.

Four wins was all it would take to journey to the Championto step on to the field at Hershey Park Stadium and to know all of their hard work paid off.

I The team proved themselves worthyTv knocking off Central Mountain, Erie McDowell, WPIAL champions Woodland Hills and then a repeat opponent, Cumberland Valley. The real test was now before them. Amidst a snowstorm, the Little Lions would make history facing LaSalle College High School in their first ever appearance in the PIAA AAAA State Championship. "I will remember that game and this season forever," said senior Brad Holzwarth. Though the scoreboard did not favor State College at the conclusion of the game, the accomplishments of the team were not tarnished.

e believe may be an overused cliche in m cker rooms and pre-game speeches, but the proverb meant more to the 2009-2010 Lady Little Lions . "Believing is not hoping or having faith," said senior co-captain lzabel Scott. "Believing is knowing in your heart that you will conquer and defeat the obstacle without any doubt." Believing the whole way, soccer team completed one of their best seasons ever, defending the District 6 title and making it all the way to the state semi-finals . The last time the Girls' Soccer team made it to the final four was in 1993, while this group of seniors were in diapers.

Boys' Basketba II '1/av;n' 4 Good /,Me he State High Basketball team entered into their season with a fair amount of uncertainty and a substantial amount of hype surrounding their newest senior transfer, Taran Buie . This addition of the 2010 Penn State recruit gave the team the quickness and athleticism they needed to fill a gap at the guard position. "We utilized Buie for his ability to move the ball and set up scoring opportunities as many of his passes turned into assists," said senior Bryan Schmidt.

FThere is nothing like playing the game of basketball with the kids you arew up withj One chailenge the team faced was meshing the new with the old. The majority of this group of seniors have been playing together for many years and has developed a certain amount of chemistry that made their season special on and off the court. 'There is nothing like playing the game of basketball with the kids you grew up with," said senior Colby Way. The team went 15-7 overall and advanced to the District Final by defeating Altoona only to lose the next two consecutive games to rival Hollidaysburg and McKeesport. Despite the less than ideal end to the season the memories created throughout the season will stick with this group of boys forever. Hanna Mincemoyer

Freshman Sports J,Me 7o 5te? d? ach year a new group of students comes in to join ou r school, they are always known as the freshmen. But as athletes they experience a new kind of environment, moving up from middle school sports to a new high school level competition. Every year this has been a big change; but as the seasons goes on, and they learn to work with new teammates, they start to get stronger. "During the season we all had our ups and downs with regard to starting positions, but throughout the season that didn't come into play," said Darian Herncane. "We all just came together and played really well as a team. " With the combination of Mount Nittany and Park Forest, the competition got stiff, but once they got the hang of it, it all started to make sense.

FWe alljust came together and played really well as a team~ Either if it's speed skating, rushing down the courts , or sprinting down the fields, each freshmen athlete has had their fair share and have set new goals . Being new to a school is always a big deal, but these freshmen have got a lot more then just a new school year, they have a fresh start to sports and new environments that they will be around for the next four years. "It was nice getting to know the underclassmen and practicing and playing against them for different levels of competition, " said Karstetter. Every participant and player worked their hardest to prove that they could play at the high school level, even if they are still competing against their friends . Maroon and Gray basketball for example are two separated teams with ninth grade boys who compete against each other, just like they once did in middle school sports. As the years go by, that changes and they join together to make one large team . Ashley Felice

N/c_ole WaSSon "I really enjoy twirling because it is a talent that takes a lot more hard work than most people think. Twirling requires lots of practice to be able to do the hard tricks like three batons and toss cartwheels. I've been twirling a shorter amount of time than most girls on the squad and that was a struggle my freshman year. I have continued to twirl because the challenge of learning new tricks and harder tricks and being able to perform them in front of a crowd is a great feeling of accomplishment. The girls that are involved in twirling all know the hard work that is involved in twirling and have done a great job this year to make the squad the best that it could be this year. A typical practice for us is learning a routine and perfecting the routine. We could go over the same routine 10 times in practice just to make sure that we have memorized it and have it perfected. We often like to end our practices with our worst run through of the routine because that means there is always something to im rove upon for everyone."

1. I'm excited for college. I can't wait to meet new people there. I'll have more freedom and I wi ll not have to wake up as early as I had to in high school.

2. I'm really looking forward to doing service work in another country for a year after I graduate. I think it will be a re ally unique and fu n ex perience. 3. I guess what I am most looking forward to is becoming more independent and my own person. High school has been great and all , but I am excited to meet new people and be exposed to different things. 4. I'm really looking forward to rooming with Sarah Sallade. I hope. I'm excited for the both of us to watch jack DeBouf play football on major television networks, no big deal. We will probably yell a lot too ... That'll be fun .

1. I don't really remember much about high school. I usually wasn't in the right mind set during school. So to all you up and coming little f reshman, focus on school a lot more than I did. It really will make a huge difference. Maybe then you will have more me mories when you're a senior than I do!

2. My favo rite high school experience was singing in the Saint Francis Basilica in Italy with Master Singers during the summer before senior year. It was such a surreal experience . I will never forget that. 3. I really enjoyed all of the events and competitions betwee n the different grade levels at dance marathon. They were always so much fun, and of cou rse, our grade always won.

4. My favo rite high school memory was my cheerleading senior night. I had gotten a really bad concussion and I thought I wou ld have to quit the cheer squad. I didn't want everyone to be mad at me. But, they actually made me this really sweet poste r and a cake. It was just a really great moment and it was nice to feel close to my squad .

I will also really miss Two-for-Tuesday Sloppy Joes. 4 . Of course I will miss seeing my friends everyday, but at the same time I am also really excited to meet new people in college

1. My best advice to give underclassmen would be to just ignore all the annoying people . Don't let the annoying, screaming gi rls get to you because it's not worth the aggravation.

2. If you have any problems or questions in your class, definitely ask your teachers for help. Even if you are intimidated or not too fond of your teachers, they are here to give you extra help if you need it and they really appreciate it when you ask for help. Never be too scared or shy to ask. But, watch out for the seniors. We actually do hate you. Oh, and always say thank you to the crossing guards! 3. Make sure you really focus in high school because high school is really important. Make sure you do your school work, or most of it at least. There is a time to mess around and have fun, but make sure you have your priorities straight. Don't do drugs. 4 . As Dr. Seuss says, "Be yourself because the ones who matter don't mind and the ones who mind don't matter." In other words , we spend all of our years of school trying to find ourselves and fit in. It's not until your senior year when you will start to mature . You'll realize that you are who you are and you don't have to prove anything to anyone except for yourself.

1. Hockey was definitely the highlight of my senior year. I will always remember coming back in the third period from a two goal deficit to beat the number one team in the State, Seneca Valley. We always have a great time as a team.

2. The best part of my senior year was when I realized that my grades do not matter anymore . Once I realized that, I also real ized that I do not have to do anything in any of my classes, which is pretty great. 3. Joini ng t he Cross Country team was easily the greatest part of my senior year because there is nothing more entertaining than run ning downtown half naked and calling it a practice. Our homecoming float theme, "Sea Men in 2010," was also a nice addition to the season. Overall, I can say I had a lot of fun with my teammates. 4. The bes t part of senior year is definitely having the chance to finally take a lighter class load. It's great because this year I have had t ime to do more things that I enjoy with my family and friends, even during the school week .

What w ere your first impression of the high school teachers? 1. The teachers are helpful, but you have to make sure you do your work and are on task. In my favorite class t he teacher is really laid back and the atmosphe re is good. 2. I t hink t hey are all funny and nice. Compared t o the middle school teachers, high school teachers seem more organi zed. I heard that a bunch of them were really hard, but none of mine are that tough . 3. They are not as bad as I thought they would be . They are a lot less intimidating than I had anticipated. 4. The t eachers actually want you to remember the content that they teach for a long time.

How have your responsibilities changed from middle school to high school?

1. I feel like high school matters more than middle school because it decides what college I will get into in the future. - Sam Eaton

2. Being in high school means that I have more responsibilities, but I also have more independence. - Elena Lloyd 3. High school has given me more independence, but I have also learned that you can't do the bare minimum in your work anymore. - Allison Gasperich 4. Teachers now just expect you to do your work, rather than telling you to do it over and over. High school gives me a lot of independence. It's also a lot more responsibility to take on . - Kyle Shafer

5. There is a lot more freedom in high school, so with more freedom comes more responsibility - Emily Smith 6. In high school you need to be more self-reliant, and you can 't keep counting on friends and teachers to remind you when assignments are due. -Julia Silver

7. We have to take responsibility to get all of our work done, because the teachers aren't going to keep reminding you about it like middle school. - Charlotte McCash 8. You have to do a lot more things on your own in high school, which means you have the responsibility to get your work done by yourself. - Amanda Reese
