ASB sure pulled a rabbit out of their hat. Just prior to break we were treated to a virtual magic show by world renown magician, Anthony Hernandez. Having performed all over the world, including Los Angeles’ prestige Magic Castle, Hernandez can now check A.B. Miller off his list. Anyone that says Hernandez’ performance was less than stu- pendous, would be lying to you!

By Emily Montenegro and Staff It has been almost a year since we were told instructed to pack-up and ensure all our belongings were with us as we were sent home due to the COVID-19. The months that followed proved bleak, and at times, a glimmer of hope would arise only to be phased out by news of cases once again spiking. In August, we were to embark on something many of us never thought would be possible: Distance Learning. Through the trails and tribulations, it has made us think differently, it has made us learn differently, and it has made us create differently. Suddenly, a situation deemed as dire, birthed a newfound freedom in our imaginations. Enter Miller After Hours.

Continued on page 3. Abel Tesfaye took center stage when it was announced he would be performing this year’s halftime show during Super Bowl LV. PepsiCo gambled on Tesfaye, known as The Weeknd, as up to this point, he has been delving deeper and deeper into troubled waters with the media. Never one to let things happen as he watches by the wayside, Tesfaye has spoke out opening and critical of the very industry that pays his bills. The narrative he is crafting with his After Hours appearances and prior tour dates, had been deemed controversial and left critics and fans alike, scratchy their heads. Ahead of the performance, Tesfaye said Not much can be said about Tom Brady and the numerous accolades he continues to he would honor the nature of the sporting event rack up, year after year. In his tenth Super Bowl appearance, his first Tampa Bay, Brady and maintain a “PG performance give the capped an MVP worthy performance by picking apart the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense to the audience.” This saw him letting his own face, tune of three touchdowns and over two hundred yards passing.

With the help of music collaborator, (more on Daniel Lopatin below), together they crafted a cohesive and mesmerizing rendering honoring Tesfaye’s After Hours. The Weeknd utilized nearly seven million of his own dollars on the halftime performance.

With a tagline promising us that “one will fall,” the long awaited for fourth entry in the newly rebooted Godzilla universe arrives in select theatres and on HBO Max just in time for Spring Break, March 26. The film which follows Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island (2017), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), and if the trailer is any indicator, lots of carnage and mayhem will follow. Speaking of the trailer, for Godzilla enthusiasts, there are snippets of would be Easter eggs of potential spoilers (we shall not name them) that should have fanboys and fangirls smiling from ear to ear. Godzilla vs. Kong is directed by Adam Wingard. Continued from page 1. “Our ASB Director, Mrs. [Monique] Gutierrez is the one responsible for the podcast–she wanted [for] us to create a fun and safe environment for our students to explore our creativity and individuality,” asserted junior Makayla Wade. “We realized how hard it was for us to interact with our students now that we are virtual and cannot plan events on campus” which is were the podcast comes into effect according to Kaitlyn Sagastume (11). Together with Emily Montenegro (9), Astrid Matzar-Sanchez (10), Abraham Torres (10), and Jesus Martinez (12), they are able to create a “safe space for students” as put forth by Martinez. “Our immediate goal,” beings Montenegro, “is we wanted to include our students and staff; we want the podcast to the theirs in a sense.” With ownership afforded to all those a part of Miller, the group plans to make the platform fluid and allow for a variety of content and diversity to be exemplified. “Our Instagram, @millerafterhourspod,” continued Montenegro, “gives our staff and student the option to give any input, feedback, or suggestions completely anonymous, because we don’t want anyone to feel like we’ll mention them.” In essence, the podcast is meant to serve as a mouthpiece for the Miller community. In order to be heard, you have to be involved. Our Associated Student Body hopes to garner a rapid following as Matzar-Martinez promises that the “podcast will always be different. The students have access to [Microsoft] Forms, where they can ask questions and give feedback… So one day we can talk about a quote, but the next time we’ll reply to student questions; it all varies.” And if you are thinking the ASB team borrowed their moniker from The Weeknd’s latest record– you would be wrong. “No,” stated Torres, “we didn’t get inspiration from The Weeknd. It just sounded good, and we went for it.” For more on Miller After Hours, please contact them at their IG account @millerafterhourspod.

A massive thank you to Emily Montenegro, who agreed to being interviewed, and then interviewed her fellow ASB members.

By Anyolie Guevera and Jasmine Flores Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Many events and plans were unfortunately canceled this year due to the pandemic. You might be thinking to yourself: “What would I have been doing if it wasn't for COVID-19?” Here are some fellow classmates with their thoughts and ideas on how to spend the holiday.

For Jose Corral’s Valentine's Day, he would like to take his girlfriend to a drive-in movie. This is romantic to him because it's like the times back in the 1900s. Corral said he is still a traditional guy who buys chocolates and roses for his girlfriend. One thing that he would like to do this Valentine’s Day is to go stargazing and letting his girlfriend know that he loves all the time he spends with her, even if all they did was look at the sky. It would be “simply perfect.”

Senior Faith Lopez’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be spent with her boyfriend “[eating] at a restaurant and [playing] pool” but “simply just being home chilling with food would be fun ,too.” She has a good memory at the Blazin’ Crab from last Valentine’s Day where her and her Valentine ate so much shrimp, so she would go back there again in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, this Valentine’s Day she will not be able to spend it with him since he is currently in the military. If they were able to be together this year, she would describe it as “the ultimate Valentine’s Day.”

For Senior Alejandra Muniz, the perfect Valentine’s Day would be spent at Disneyland. She chose this specific location because “it’s a magical and loving place to enjoy with your partner,” along with the many opportunities to take beautiful pictures. Muniz also mentions how Disneyland has so many cute things and souvenirs to buy, along with the many gifts she could buy for her partner.

Sophomore Astrid Matzar-Sanchez’ ideal Valentine’s Days would be “a picnic with a nice view because [she] really likes nature!” Her picnic would take place in a park, near a lake, by the beach or possibly even on the beach, itself. This year she is planning to spend it with her friends and do an exchange of gifts. If you are plan- ning to do the same, she urges “remember if you go out, social distance and be safe!” Throughout 2020 and so far 2021, all classes have been distant from one another. This has been difficult on many classes since the whole online learning is new to them. Yet, throughout it all, many classes have scuffled through, one such class that has been working hard is T.V. Production. Having kept their creative ways, the class has not let down their audience. Continuing to push content regardless of the struggle or the difficulties; such is extraordinary as re- ally it is not easy to come up with content while locked away in your house, especially when having to collaborate with other students. This is an exceptional feat to do which all students in T.V are doing and pushing through with resilience, some of these valiant stu- dents are: April Gonzalez, senior, really enjoyed watching A.B.T.V. in class when she was in her freshman year of high school. Gonzalez was inspired by the work she would see and decided to join the class to help produce videos herself. But this school year is different for her; she now has to do everything from home. “I enjoyed T.V. Production more while in person rather than online because I enjoy working with my classmates face to face instead of working through a computer screen,” said Gonzalez. But this doesn’t stop her and her classmates from having a fun time in class. One project that she enjoyed this year was “How To Make Conchas for Day Of The Dead” video. This is an example of T.V. students still being able to enjoy their time in class, even with the difficulty of not being able to use the equipment that is available at school, they still make some of the best school videos out there. Another creative mind fighting through the times is, Enrique Huerta a senior at A.B. Miller taking T.V. as well for his second year. Huerta “joined because [he] wanted to try something new” something fun and creative to say the least plus his added enthusiasm for films and T.V. just added to his desire. Personally, when Huerta believes that school was better “during school [be]cause we had better access to things and it was better being in class in person to share ideas” showing that difficulties exist but they still push to entertain fel- low students. Furthermore, students still get enjoyment from T.V. no matter what the situation may be, striving to get videos out to help students remain entertained and to keep us distracted from all the occurrences even with all of the hardships one such problem is as Huerta said “software to edit” which is a difficult task to overcome seeing as editing is key to a film or production. Even though as Huerta said the procedure is “different and new for sure” this does not stop T.V. from producing more and more films for us A.B. Miller students. Eduardo Aguilar, Senior, had joined T.V Production his Sophomore year when a friend had recommended it to him. Aguilar enjoyed his time in T.V. so much that he decided he would take the class again for his Junior and Senior years so that he could use his creativity towards creating segments. One thing he liked was the challenge of the class, which increased as he had to take the class virtually. Having to take the class online, the challenges were not relieved but increased as Aguilar had to face the struggle of finding inspiration as there's only so much you can do at home. “I enjoyed TV production during school because we have more segment ideas, and we have more access two equipment extensional for the production of the show” stated Aguilar. One of Aguilar’s favorite segments “was a recap on the boxing match where Gervonta Davis fought Leo Santa Cruz” but this is not the only thing that he enjoyed doing as his greatest moments were doing segments for A.B.T.V. Oscar Cortez, senior, had always wanted to be a news anchor for T.V. Production; but this was not his only reason for joining the class as he wanted to better his editing skills since he enjoyed making short films with his friends. One of his favorite pieces of work this school year was the skit for Halloween as he had “so much fun filming and editing them.” Like April Gonzalez, he too enjoyed the segment in which he made concha's, “I was so proud of myself for making concha’s” Cortez said. But it did not all come with ease as Cortez too struggled with having to work on projects from home. “We can’t even be in the classroom editing,” says Cortez. Even with these struggles he and his classmates are still able to put out quality content for all of A.B. Miller to see on A.B.T.V. These are all wonderful students that contribute towards making A.B.T.V. so wonderful. There are other great students that work alongside them and create multiple videos for the class.

By Anabella Galan and Samantha Sahagun As the coronavirus cases started to rise expeditiously, masks became highly encouraged, and soon after, mandatory. Thus, creating wearing masks part of an American’s daily life.

Clubs are no exception. Many of the clubs have been time “parked on a cancelled, gone quiet, or, worse, have been temporarily dissolved. hillside turnout Fortunately, several clubs have begun to find their footing in the age of with the view of the city lights” in front of distance learning. Among them are GSA, MECHA, and Key Club. Junior Dana Edrees became treasurer and secretary of Key Club them. They would enjoy any food and this year, a “student-led organization” with the “goal to encourage drinks they feel like enjoying. leadership through serving others [and] make the world a better place.” With meetings being held every other week on Wednesdays at 12PM hosted on Teams, Key Club remains active despite all its challenges. Car- rying out its community service has been particularly testing; according to Edrees, “all of our community service this year has been online, and it sucks.” She explains that she misses “meeting new people, getting free shirts, and engaging with our schools.” The club has mainly been creating cards and donating food, instead of going to “help out in festivals.” Mrs. Aguayo Aviles introduces A.B. Miller to MECHA, “a social and enrichment club that focuses on the Chicano and Central American

Nieblas “think [thinks] some people can choose to express Friday at 3:15 pm on themselves with their masks” but most tend to “wear normal blue and black masks.” TEAMs, MECHA is “I like to wear a black mask most often,” junior Ariana Lopez says. “I feel like since making the best of distance it’s a plain color, it matches well with whatever I’m wearing.

Whether masks will stay on “pretty much everything.” post-COVID as means of self-expression or protection, is unknown. However, as of right now, they strongly serve Counselor Ms. Key, both purposes for students at A.B. Miller High. alongside teachers Ms. Martin and Mrs. Marshall, run A.B. Miller’s Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA). “GSA is a student-run organization that unites LGBTQ+ and allied youth to become a stronger community both within our school and society as well,” Ms. Key explained. The purpose of the club is to provide a space where “where all students [can] be their true selves.” Ms. Martin added, “Our club also goes on various field trips throughout the year such as LGBTQ Youth Lead- ership Conferences, Harvey Milk Breakfast, and Pride Prom.” The club has existed since 2017, and every year Ms. Martin’s favorite memory was going to the Rainbow Youth Summit and Pride Prom. Ms. Key shared that her best memory was attending the Models of Pride at Los Angeles City College last year. The day was “even more magical” than other field trips for she ”loved seeing the smiles on everyone’s face after feeling total ac- ceptance.” “They should be able to feel that way every day!” she commended. All of these clubs have made drastic changes and modifications to their club agenda and activities, due to distance learning. In the most re- cent MEChA meeting at the time of writing, Mrs. Aviles gave a PowerPoint presentation discussing the unique history of the term Chicano, before turning it over to the class for discussion. Similarly, GSA has been having a mixture of meetings with the advisors or student presidents presenting a PowerPoint, and meetings just to chat and check in with each other. All-in-all, it is inspiring and relieving to see that the clubs of AB Miller can still live on and adapt, no matter the circumstances, or adversity that the students of Miller face, they will strive to make every day better than the last. A.B. Miller’s primary goal is to ensure every student is college and career ready upon graduation. We pride ourselves in providing our students with an excellent academic and extracurricular experience, yet, we understand that providing additional supports will further enhance our students’ chances of academic success as young adults. Our community has rallied around us to help provide these additional supports in the form of scholarships. Our supports fundraised and donated over $25,000! On behalf of our students, I’d like to thank our community for their unconditional support over the years. Your support affords us the ability to provide our students with an exceptional academic experience, close the achievement gap, and provide educational access to all students. Once again, thank you for your on-going support!

Sincerely,
