Boys' Cross Country started its first two-a-day at 7 AM, sprinting up the bike path Jeauing up to Community Field. For the Girls' Field Hockey team, their mornings were spt:nl condiuomng during the entire two weeks of two-a-days. "Pres~as~n was tough ~,s al.ways.

Football had the privilege of spending its two-a-days, somt:tim<.:s three-a-da\ s, at 1Iem orial Field. Boys' and Girls' Golf dealt \ovith the intense heat during 1heir three o'clock practices at Centre Hills. Regardless of the heat or the exhaustion, teams pusheu through preseason in hopes of starting their regular seasons off on the right foot. Many teams expenencc th eir first test in preseason scrimmages. The Girls' Soccer team played in two scrimmage tournaments: one at home at South Track Field, and another at Owen J. Roberts High School. "By having an intense preseason and competing in multiple scrimmages, the bar is set high for a competitive regular season," said junior soccer player Rebecca Whitney. The team went undefeated in its home scrimmages, defeating Bellefonte, Montoursville and Tvlilton.

Preseason offers a time for intense team bonding for all athletes and allows them to come together and grow as a team. Most teams spend anywhere from four to eight hours a day with one another, often sharing meals, sharing laughs and sharing joy as they focus on their goals for the season. It is during this time that a team can begin to see who they are and what they want out of a season. Some of the fondest memories are formed during the preseason, whether it be the Girls' Soccer Annual Egg Toss, Field Hockey's "Chip and Dip" or Cross Country's pasta parties. Preseason sets the tone for the remainder of a team's season. Article by Laura Lovi ns.

orn from the pages of Vogue and GQ, students at State High showed off the best of the season this fall. As the tern tures cooled and summer shorts no longer felt quite as fashionable, many students began thinking of ways to readjl their wardrobe, pulling out the true staples of fall style like rain boots and chunky sweaters. While certain fashjonis¡ sporting this look went for the more conventional approach of staying warm, others gravitated towards the ultra cl look of skirts and tights. Seniors Pierie Korostoff and Elise Mortensen (pictured above), were avid supporters of t' :l. ''A lot of my favorite jewelry was my mom's, but clothes can come from anywhere-- I look at history, colors and textures c e world, and dress myself to reflect what I find lovely or compelling," said Korostoff. Any fall look wouldn't have been ccimplâ&#x20AC;˘ .gh without a touch of flannel in every outfit. Between the classic flannel shirt or even flannel pants, nothing says fall W(e pairi ther two completely ilifferent plaid patterns. Senior Jonathan Cunninghman showed off the. classic pattern as formal attire 1omecoming dance sporting a pair of plaid pants. "I was in Goodwill o ne day and as I was meandering around, I stumbled up e fantastic plaid pants. When I saw this old school pair of dress pants I obviously wanted them. \'\Tho wouldn't? When I ched :ag they were even my size, I was destined to find this pair of pants. I expected them to be $5 because I thought that there \ v-ay they could have been in the store long enough to be any cheaper, but when I was rung up at the register, only 29 cent~! W :al. I thought that wearing a white shirt, a blue skinny tie, a blue blazer and a red and blue pair plaid pants was the perfec~ way 1d my first and last Homecoming Dance," said Cunningham.

Not to mention, fall is the only season that an entire holiday for indulging in delicious foods. There is no day in the winter when the administration says, I think we'll give the students a day off from their school work to bake a pie and eat some turkey." of the best foods come into season during this time. The idea of eating a ripe pumpkin in spring evokes nothing more w chuckles, but a pumpkin in the fall creates endless possibilities. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin scones, 1til soup, even pumpkin seeds, there's no limit to the number of dishes that can be created during this splendid time of us fall, some students went together to celebrate the simplicity and refinement of pumpkins during pumpkin fest, a time tmpkin lovers come together and share their favorite dishes.

hile the leaves began to change colors, fall and photosynthesize (in no specific order), students were writing in tl1eir notebooks and pencilling with their pencils. lt was a daunting day for the freshmen, a bittersweet one for the seniors.

Yet all endured the first day and continued on, ultimately familiarizing d1emselves with teachers, students and lunch ladies. Everyone changed classes, experienced new electives and learned a great deal of content. We all liked or didn't like new teachers. We all met new people we've never seen before.

The school year always begins with a flurry of excitement. \Y/e have homecoming, football games and nice weather to get us to tl1e winter. The year is still new and fresh and fun and routines haven't become dull yet.

We all experienced a new environment in which we eventually settled. The year progressed swiftly wid1 Homecoming events, foo tball games, field trips and friends. Though times may be tough, we can think back to warm days of summer and move on with the year.

ield trips are a great experience for all clubs, giving them an opportunity to learn, grow and explore outside of the classroom. Whether their destination is five minutes or five hours away, field trips are an amazing aspect of State High clubs. For instance, CAUSE went to elementary schools in the fall to read to children, while DECA took multiple field trips during the year to participate in competitions. The Renaissance Faire students took their yearly field trip to Mount Hope to improve their improvisation skills. Student Government was able to debate on bills at a conference at Bartell & Bartell and experience what it was like to be a senator for a day. While all the clubs are incredibly different, they were all able to benefit from learning outside of the school. Field trips as a whole provided enriching experiences for clubs of all sizes.

RVRD " orne clubs at State High offer more than just the opportunity to get to know other students - they ' also offer the opportunity to give back. Clubs like LEO Club, Green Coalition, and SADD all allow udents to come together to do something good for the community. LEO club focuses on what mem~rs can do to help outside of the school, such as donating to food banks and making holiday cards for using home residents. In Students Against Destructive D ecisions, or SADD, members come together spread awareness about serious issues like driving under the influence, drugs and bullying. This year, \DD also teamed up with clubs like Gay Straight Alliance and CAUSE (Creating Awareness Using udent Education) to create the "I Am" project, a powerful anti-bullying initiative that swep t the school 1d the community. Green Coalition worked on projects throughout the year to better the environment. :ojects included building a vertical garden for the North Building and putting green bins around the :hool to encourage students to recycle. Clubs that gave back let students get something more out of a ub than simply meeting new students. These clubs gave back to the community and made a difference . people's lives.

The LEO Club at State High will take any opportunity to give back to the community. LEO stands for Leadership, Experience and Opportunity, and that is exactly what the students demonstrate from the beginning to the end of the year. In late N ovember, the club began making holiday cards to send to nursing home residents. Mike White (right) and Talia Cowen (left) were two students who participated in the activities. "In LEO club, everyone has a say in where the money is donated and how to raise it. It .is also more student o riented," said Cowen. The cards were one of the several projects that the club worked on this year. Photos by Marie Matthews.

Talent Show Committee plans Rockfest and the Talent Show, Acclivity creates a magazine full of art for the students, and Debate Club paves the way for our future lawyers. From creating spectacular shows to learning a new language, all these club members come together to do what they love. Clubs like these teach us how to talk together and work together, with our friends and with people we may never have met before, and each club truly comes together as a family by the end of the year. So many fun things can happen when you get a group of people together, and clubs like these show us how.

Spanish and German clubs have a great time making food and learning the culture of other countries, and Book club members have fun discussing books they love, rather than books they are assigned to read. Not only do the members make lifelong friends in these clubs, but they also create wonderful memories of all the time spent in a room around a table. Article by Nicole Ondik.

ames are important to the student body and can bring together any club. From Chess Club to Ping Pong, games have the ability to bring students together to get to know each other. The French Club used an online scavenger hunt that let students team up and wotk together. On the other hand, Chess Club allowed students to compete against one another and learn new strategies. German Club used games to apply language skills in a fun learning environment. Whatever the kind of club, games allow groups of students to come together and form as a whole. Many students want to join a club, but aren't always sure what they would like. Gaming clubs like Ping Pong or Chess Club let students be involved in a club without a lot of outside commitment. These clubs are always fun to attend, and not only do you improve at the game you're playing, but you get to meet lots of other students while having a great time. The laid-back environment that these clubs provide let you relax, and after a long day at school, a relaxing time at a fun club is just what everyone needs. Article by Marie Matthews.

Check, male1 The art of Chess goes beyond what the eye sees.

Understanding the game itself requires skill and intelligence. It is key to not only understand the consequences or benefits of your move, but also to predict your opponent's response. Chess club is very different than other clubs. If you walk into the room during a meeting, you can expect to see a handful of very quiet and very concentrated students. The only thing on their mind at that moment is marking a check in the win box. Of course, every players' strategy is unique. They learn from their mistakes and carry this knowledge to their next match. Senior Ben Little (right), explains that his strategy is to "control the center of the board," and of course to "dominate." His opponent, senior Francie Baker (left) looks for her next move.

'VJhat would our school do without the students' W help? Our student body is what creates the school spirit and environment and brings a unique atmosphere to our school. Whether it's football games, homecoming, club meetings, yearbooks and newspapers, or school plays, the students are ready to show their school pride with their given talents and skills. Not only can these things help entertain and lift the spirits of the school, but they also connect those with common interests and help students build new relationships. The lively attitude from the student body helps make activities, dances and events exciting and enjoyable for the whole school. However, it's important to not forget the work that goes into putting these things together... the hours that go into making the yearbook look spectacular year after year, the amount of practice in the summer before half time shows for the marching band, creating the "perfect" prom. Every studen t should be recognized for the talents he or she brings to make all of State High's signature events happen. Their hard work surely pays off. Article by Marie Matthews.

t's that time of year again. School's beginning and summer is a memory of the past. Some of us are eager to start the new year and some of us dread the hours of homework that lay ahead of us. H owever, for student athletes, the beginning of the school year means one thing: the beginning of a new sports season.

Practices are underway and teams are preparing for the season ahead. Balancing school work and sports is no easy task, however it has its rewards. Although it may be a hectic start to the school year, athletic teams build bonds and form memories which can last a lifetime. "Starting a new school year and a new sports season is always crazy and exciting. It is the last chance for seniors to live it up and take advantage of everything the school has to offer," said senior captain of the Girls' Cross Country team Catherine Malizia. Adjusting to the sudden busy schedule also has its downfalls. Having practice right after school every clay makes it difficult to join new clubs or to get involved in things besides sports. Fo r freshmen, there is no better way to adjust to high school than through participation in a sports team. "Starting the school year while also starting the sports season is a great way for kids, especially those who are new to the high school, to get acquainted with their teanunates and have a few friendly faces to see around school," said senior captain of the Girls' Volleyball team Megan Bland. Keeping up with the academics and athletics of school is a whole new challenge. I Iowever, in some ways the business can be beneficial. "Being on a sports team makes you wotk hatd in the classroom right away so that you are eligible to play," senior Pootball team captain Matt Baney said. With classes, practices, games and the general stress of school, it's safe to say that starting the school year on a sports team is a busy start to the year. H owever, with good time management skills, sports teams can provide some of the best mem ories during high school years. Article by Mackenzie Kirsch.

et out the duct tape, hammer, scissors and glue. It's time for teams to highly anticipated preparation of their H omecoming floats. This year, off the theme "H ere Comes the Sun in 20-1 -1," teams tried to wittily 路 the sun into their designs. Although there was little sun to be found on scheduled date of the parade and the make-up date, participants still went above and Some went as far as to build a replica house from the movie "UP!", while others stuck classic sitting o n barrels of hay. E ither way, the floats were nothing short of spectacular.

Field Hockey team took home firs t prize for d1e third year in a row with the theme "Buzz the Sun in 20-1-1." Its float featured a large tree and the girls dressed up as bees and their field hockey sticks into flowers. ''All of the seniors gathered together and ideas. We wanted to pick a theme that included everyone, even our coaches too," said senior field hockey player Sarah Culver. The coaches of the team were featured as gardeners. The Girls' Tennis team also had an inventive float. Its theme was "Raisin' Up the Sun in a Bran New Year", playing off the cereal Raisin Bran. T he girls turned their rackets into spoons by covering them in aluminum foil and created a large cereal box with their names listed as the nutritional information.

The H omecoming football game was declared a Maroon and Gray out, and had an excellent turn out from the students. The juniors and seniors were ready to get ''R-0-W-D-I-E" and only grew more enthusiastic as the game progressed.

The score was back and forth the entire game, but unfortunately Harrisburg captured the win with a minute to go. "We had great support from the fans and student body. We put up a good fight against Harrisburg and we felt like we should have won the game, but let them slip away. Portunately, after this game we were able to turn things around and gain momentum for the playoffs," said senior football captain Tyler Kaluza. Article by Laura Lovins.

matter the sport, team or athlete, the goal heading towards the end of the year is always the same: win at least a District Championship. Putting forth the extra practice and sacrificing everything else for one common goal changes athletes from a team to a family. For some, the goal was accomplished. Girls' Soccer raced through layoffs to a 1-0 victory over Hollidaysburg in the District Championship match. ''You could ~yone, and I think they would answer the same; this season and this team has been a blessing our lives. \\'e accomplished our goals and so much more. This season is one that we won't , said senior captain Maegan Morooney. Not only clid Girls' Cross-Country capture the title, but it also finished the year with an amazing showing at the State meet. "We were and hard\\ orking over the summer and this season, which allowed our team to place an and very deserved fourth at states," said senior captain Bailey McNichol. Boys' Golf ended the year with a District Championship, led by the guidance of a strong senior class.

However, not aU teams can win the District Championship every year. The Boys' Soccer fell in the championship m atch when they conceded a devastating late goal in overtime. The of defeat was a bit too premature for the squad, as Matt Lee recounts, "[We were] clisapsince our season ended so early. It's pretty sad most of our organized soccer careers are but it was a great run. We always had a good time, and I'm positive next year they will go Although the\ didn't win the District Championship either, Boys' Cross-Country had the year its had m the last five seasons: seven team victories in thirteen, and a trip to the state limDiOIOSihl路ps to cap the exciting year off. Girls' Volleyball also had an impressive regular season, the competition on the way to a 12-0 record. However, in the District Championship, fell to an experienced Altoona team in a hard-fought five-set match. "This team had the best attitude of any team I've been on.

State High's athletics program always receives positive recognition, both as a whole and for lts individually talented athletes. However, what many State High students do not recognize is that among their peers are talented athletes who commit to sports outside of school. Gymnastics, ice skating, and horse-back riding are some of the many sports students dedicate countless hours and incredible effort towards.

These students deserve as much credit for their athletics as those receiving varsity letters. They are all extremely challenging and demanding.

n the spirit of ringing in the new year, many State High students took to the streets of downtown State College and frolicked about First Night. They fist pumped to up and coming bands like Ellen Siberian-Tiger and KCM, critiqued the aesthetic quality of ice sculptures scattered around town and participated in the SK Resolution Run. "The memory that will always be in my heart is when we were half naked o n top of the garage painting ourselves in latex body paint," said junior John Crowe in regard to his and his friends' preparation for the Resolution Run. Another daring State High cross country runner, senior Brad Thompson, discussed his choice of apparel, "We had an America theme so I wore the red, white, and blue pants, and I wore the shirt around my face like a ninja mask as a tribute to Peter Lin." Many avid musicians also demonstrated their talent during the highly coveted Rock Fest. Junior Simon Cantu (pictured above) rocked out with his band Chamelia during the traditional first night activity, playing two original songs. " Playing in Rockfest is awesome because it's an awesome opportunity to rock out," said Cantu.

As soon as the countdown to the new year was only minutes away, many students found themselves in the company of friends and family.

T he Pennsylvania Math League contest was held today.

The holidays are a time of friends, family, and a wide variety of tasty tteats. In order to truly get the most out of this festive time of y~ miit; students attend various holiday ~es. Whether an extravagant event, or just a few friends who meet up, these parties:"'bring joy to all partygoers. The most common party during this season is the exchanging of gifts through secret Santa and white elephant parties. Seniors Mackenzie Sapia, Ryan Pate, Rebecca Grande, and Alyssa Harding (pictured right) took part in such activities. "The party was some good clean fun that really rang in the holiday spirit," said Grande. Baking Christmas cookies, with your favorite cookie cutters and friends, is also a necessity; however, an ann~ gingerbread house competition tends to round off any holiday party. Sweateffest ~rea large impa p this year's festivities~ parties consisted of ugly sweater contests, which alSCJ into school. A little competiri'Oti the holidays isn't always ~i>ad thing.

1nter style showcases the spirit of the season through clothing and all of the accessories that go along with it.

Throughout those long, dreary months of December, January and February, many students tend to wear the usual sweatshirt/ sweatpants combination day after day; however, winter fashion has come so fat to keep you warm while looking your best. Seniors Pierie Korostoff, Sara Birmingham, Eli Campbell and junior Stephen Zimmerer (pictured above) showcase their idea of staying warm and fashionable during the winter season.

"For me, winter fashion is basically a mental battle. I have to fight the urge to wear sweatpants and ski socks every day. So I love things like tights and sweaters--they're pretty but won't cause hypothermia," said Birmingham. Overall, fashion scarves tend to be a popular winter trend, as well as knit scarves to keep warm. Whether these accessories ate striped, plaid, polka-dot or plain, it is nec~ssary to keep one's neck warm in the frigid wind that blows across the street. Also, even though hats aren't allowed to be worn dunng class, they do make a fashion statement throughout this season, not to mention the wide variety of hats \VOtn bring diversity to the fashion world. Although scarves, hats, and boots ate all considered necessary for surviving the blustery season, sweaters re.ally represent the pinnacle piece of clothing for winter. Such clothing provides warmth while allowing students to get creative Wlth patterns. Students even take a week out of their lives every winter to celebrate their greatest knitted m asterpieces through sweaterfest. Even though winter ultimately means bundling up to keep warm, there are a lot of ways to look good and State High students seem to have no problem with this.

s the holiday season rolls around, winter break is finally in sight. Classes start to finish up for the year, but the season is just beginning. Students start to bring the holiday spirit into the classroom.

This year, Sweaterfest became a major part of the Liday celebrations. Throughout the school, students showed :ir spirit by wearing the cutest and ugliest sweaters to their sses. Even some teachers joined in on d1e fun. Classrooms :orated with gingerbread houses, snowflakes and od1er decltions, made the school seem a litde warmer.

Around d1e holidays, food is also a major necessity. .-1\I tudents made cookies in baking classes and decorated !rn with a festive touch.

The holiday season would no t be complete without :oling. Students sang holiday songs to classes throughout the tire high school and lightened up the mood on the last of )' of school before the break. Stunts couldn't help but enjoy their sses and joy was in the air. The ::itement was visible to all throught the school, getting ready for the )St wonderful time of the year.

for the future eadership is a key characteristic to success. The students in DECA, J SA and FFA exemplify determination and motivation for their futures.

DECA includes business competitions all over the country. "DECA competitions have given me the ability to speak in public more effectively," said DECA President Morgan Shaw. Junior Statesmen of America, or JSA, is a newly founded club that debates world issues. Senior JVlicah Feigelson, who founded the club, wanted it to be an interest to other students. "I've learned so much abou t people, and it taught me to never underestimate a person or an idea," said Feigelson. These three clubs prepare stu dents with their own learning experiences and lifetime benefits. Not only do these clubs dive into the use of personal skills, but they also develop addi tional talents along the way. H aving unique personalities and sp ecial strengths at hand pulls each club together with diversity and originality. We all know standing up in front of a crowd to speak or perform takes a lot of confidence and practice, but if the student applies his or her full attention to learning the techniques, that specific talent will adapt over time.

here are so many ways to use your brain during school, and lots of clubs help you use it after school too. TSA, Knowledge Masters, Math Club, and Science Olympiad are all clubs at State High that 路tee you to use your intelligence by solving problems or building computers. TSA stands for Tech)logy Student Association; members of TSA participate in regional, state, and national competitions at range from biotechnology designs to digital video production. Knowledge Masters members also lmpete, but in academic quiz bowls. They compete as teams, and practice by competing in mock com:titions against each other. Members of Math Club get to listen to guest speakers give presentations 1 mathematical topics such as the game theory and number theory. Members also provide tutoring for udents that need a little extra help in math. Science Olympiad is a club for scientifically minded stu:nts who want to compete in a variety of science events. Fifteen members get to compete as a team, rt all the members get to learn more about science while having fun at the same time. These clubs are a eat way to challenge yourself outside of school, and have fun with your friends too. Article by Nicole ndik.

ctivism, by it's very definition, is taking action while striving for change. Many students at State High take activism wholeheartedly, and the number of clubs that result from this are tremendous. \'V'hether your fund raising for charities or ensming that all students are respected, all of these clubs hold the same value: Hope. The Gay-Straight Alliance works towards equality of all students regardless of their sexual orientation, and hope that one day discrimination based on sexual preference will be nonexistent. T he African American Support Group focuses on making their club members better leaders knowing that they will lead om generation on to greatness. Habitat for Humanity helps families through times of poverty by giving them a place to live, and hopes that one day pover ty will no longer be a part of Centre County, and eventually the world. Key Club hold s events in order to donate to charities, and hopes that its contributions will help make the world a better place. Best Buddies gives handicapped students the chance to form life long friendships, and hopes that they'll be able to lead fulfllling, independent lives. Activism is so deeply embedded into State H igh that no matter what form it's in, lasting effects are made on the school, community, and d1e world. Article by Colin Mueller.

o be able to create a work of art, a masterpiece, is a talent many wish they had. In clubs like Art Club, Acclivity and Pottery Club, creating a masterpiece is something the members do every week when they go to their clubs. The members of Art Club u se all different kinds of materials to create pictures, and in Pottery Club the members can use a pottery wheel or put together a clay sculpture; whatever they are inspired to create, they can create in these clubs.

In Acclivity, a magazine showcases the art that students create, like short stories, drawings or poems. In these clubs you can see an enthusiasm for the arts; if you are looking for anything from a helpful critique on a portrait to encouragement to write a story, you can find it all in these clubs. The members of these clubs have a passion for the arts, and when you visit these clubs or look at their work, you can tell immediately. Article by Nicole Ondik.

P

ulling an all-n.ighter is a breeze for our State High students. Whether it's busting your best move or playing an intense game of volleyball with your closest friends, there is without a doubt no room for sleep.

These two events are put together with a common goal of helping others in the community. Key Club hosts All Night Volleyball every year and chose a few different causes to receive the donations of raised money. This year, the club chose to give the money to causes like the Philadelphia Project and schools in Guatemala. D ance Marathon, put together by Student Senate, donates money to the Elk's Home Care Program. This program provides citizens in the community who have disabilities like MS, down syndrome, and any developmental disability with home nurses.

Each event requires the students' full determination to stay up all night. Senior Catherine Malizia said, ''At Dance Marathon, the Student Senate officers thought it was a good idea to take roily chairs out onto the dance floor. This really changed things up and woke up the kids who were starting to feel the 3am affect."

Although it may be difficult at times throughout the night to stare at the clock and count how many hours remain, it's all worth it in the end to know that each student helped the community in a positive way. Article by Marie Matthews.

....,.here is no doubt that State High students have all kinds of talents. When it comes to performing - arts, there are plenty of clubs that give students the opportunity to get up on stage. Groups like .espians and Rock Ensemble are both major clubs at State High that attract a lot of attention from the wol. Thespians put on two productions every school year, with a play in d1e fall and a musical in the :ing. Both shows take a lot of work from more than just the actors on stage; the stage crew, lighting, :l stage managers alone add up to over 40 students. While both clubs deal with performing arts, Rock tsemble is much more music oriented. Giving students the chance to play music with their peers, Rock tsemble is one of the few clubs that meets during the school day. Students interested in all different :1res come together and make music of their own. Ranging from classic rock to heavy metal, this talted group of students are able to take a break from the school day and do somedung d1ey love. The :k ensemble students also put on a performance outside of the classroom. At the end of every school u, they host a concert in the auditorium for friends, family, and students to come see what they have en working on all year. Article by Michael O'Neil.

Not only do freshmen get welcomed to a new team, in many cases they get welcomed to a new family. Between practices, games and tournamen ts, teammates become more then just teammates. "Our whole diving team is like our second family, we are close to one another and have fun at practice," said junior diver Anna Clayton.

never put any par of my uniform on until right before my race," senior Track and Field member Paige Fry said. Many State High athletes have superstitions and pregame rituals that they preform before each game, meet or match. For some it's a [ visual process of creating game-like situations in their heads and figuring out how they would respond. For others, a certain task must be performed or inspirational quote read out loud. Junior members of the swim team put their senio r teammate's faces on Baywatch characters. Ice Hockey co-captain Ryan Pate wears mismatching under armour and eats fruit snacks.

What

does a sports fan love? Good games, great plays, big time players and a b stage. These are only a few things that make sports so great. We can see them in a few games d ing the regular season, but when those mid and post season tournaments near, all of these aspe: of the game come out. Everyone loves the atmosphere of big time tournaments. The players, tl fans and the referees all love when the players are giving it their all just to win game after gatll Every fan in the crowd is screaming his or her lungs out, tl1e stress of playing multiple games one day and the fact a championship can hang in the balance just makes it all better. "The e111 ronment is incredible. It feels like you're almost floating and it's all a dream dut you love," S.: sophomore varsity basketball player Bryan Sekunda.

State College may not host a lot of tournaments, but when teams do travel to Happy Valley, we know how to put on a show and make sure that everyone is entertained. When the annual Kiwanis Tournament came to State High this year, we showed how the Little Lions do things.

A ttendance was at its highest out of any games this season and the roaring crowd played a crucial role. Winning against such a prestigious team made everything better as everyone realized State High can compete wid1 any team in the state.

Swimming also saw great success in its big time meets this year, placing first and second in the State College Quad Meet.

I t also asserted itself as a top team in the state. This just puts even more emphasis on how much a tournament can really matter. It can give any team momentum and gives each player the confidence he or she needs to finish the season. State College has used this to its advantage d1e whole year, no matter what the sport may be.

State High Football leadership meeting... where boys become men.

The first day of PMEA Region III Chorus Festival.

s the weather warms for the coming spring season, winter sports begin their gradual march towards the end of the year. Por the athletes, this often means the end of tbe playoffs, for others, simply a transition towards the beginning of a new team in the spring. H owever, for some, as their respective seasons wrap up, so do their careers. " It is weird being in the last games of your career, it makes you really appreciate every moment out there," said senior hockey goalie, Joe Abruzzo. The end of the season also brings back the memories of the accomplishments from the year. For one, the Girls' Basketball team's second annual Pink Zone game aided those in battles with cancer. "It is amazing how our game can help so many people. Not only the motive for the game, but the fun atmosphere with our fans and all our pink attire makes the game a memorable experience," said junior Gina Torretti regarding the match, a 50-38 victory over Bishop McDowell. The journey through playoffs and other post-season tournaments undoubtably makes teams stronger together as well.

After winning clistricts, the Boys' Basketball fell in the state tournament to Mount Lebanon.

"0Yerall we can consider this a successful season, after winning districts and qualifying for the state playoffs, we are looking to improve next year and advance even further," said junior forward Cody Cooper. The Girls' Indoor Track and Field team also had a strong performance at the state meet, finishing an impressive third place, capped off by senior Chloe Schmidt's state title in the 800 meters. "What really made tl1e meet for me was running tl1ree great races against great competition, having two of OLU' relay teams medal, and placing third overall as a team," said Schmidt referencing her accomplishment. The Ice Hockey team finished its year with a disapp ointing defeat in the playoffs to Norwin, \Vhile both the Boys' and Girls' Swinuning and Diving teams ended with District Championships. Through hard work and dedication, teams finished the regular season strong, propelling into intense playoff competition where they represented on both the district and state level.

Lookin to the Future. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ For someone who wanted to be a pro baseball player, laWyer or Supreme Court Justice, 1Yir. Andrew Merritt is doing a fantastic job as a teacher.

"It was about people, providing opportunities for young people to learn, explore, make mistakes, pick themselves up and keep m oving fotwards," said Merritt of what he's learned about the value of teaching. Some of his most important teaching lessons have come from a source close to home: "[My mom] taught me the importance of valuing all people. To do better, to look for ways to everyday make the world a better place. I learned from her to always do the right thing. It is not always easy but it has to be done."

I had heard the cross was a great group of girls, and their encouragement along with my love for the sport started man year off as an amazing experience that I hope will continue throughout my high - Emma Cousins "I really like being able to pick my own classes, because of that I found my way to my which is my favorite one so far. I think my freshman year will be one of the best, if its being the worst of the 4 years, I'm looking forward to the best."

- Stephan Adams "On my first day of school I didn 't know where any classrooms were, obviously. I asked where my English classroom was and they all gave me different directions so I was so co be going back up stairs then back down then left and right. Finally I made it to class a few late!"

- Alisha Cannizzaro "In middle school they have all these weird rules and schedules and in high school it a lot more relaxed. It's strange because you'd think that people would trust middle ........",,....., than high schoolers because everyone thinks high schoolers are bad news, but the opposite - Emmaline Kesidis

Madeline Nyblade is in the process of writing her own cookbook and learning about food science as an independent study. "I cook all the time for friends, family, and guests of my parents," said Nyblade. The goal of her cookbook is to interest teens in cooking and baking as well as eating healthy.

For three weeks in the month of February, protesters, including school teachers and public service workers, rallied outside the Wisconsin State Capitol because they were upset with the Governor 's plan to limit collective bargaining rights for public-sector employees. The Republican governor Scott

Star Sidney Crosby of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins suffered a major concussion in January. His 1njury, which \.Vas caused by an illegal hit to the head during a hockey match, raised the question of whether stricter regulations should be put in place for hockey players. Jim

Rutherford, a general manager who voted to ban shots to the head, said, "Based on the discussion we had when we were putting in the rule we have now, I would suspect that I would not be the only person willing to discuss how we are handling blows to the head." As as result

of these discussions, a new Rule 48 came about this hockey season, which, according to Rutherford, penalizes "a lateral or blind side hit to an opponent where the head is targeted and/ or the principle point of contact." Article by Keshav Garud.
