On Feb. 27th, the PTSA hosted the annual talent show in the PAC, raising a total of $2,132 dollars. Snacks were sold as well as “shout-outs” where Mrs.Mitchell and Mr.Clark read them on stage in between performances. Clark said it was “impressive how dynamic the student body is and how supportive the crowd was. Mitchell and I had a blast doing the show!” Junior Regene Odon said, “I rehearsed just as much as I would for any other performance.” He sang “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran. Sophomore Michelle Finn performed “Over My Head” by The Fray with Marlea Maltz. Finn said, “We had a lot of fun doing it… it was so, so cool to be a part of.” Junior Kennard Johnston said, “I felt extremely nervous in the beginning with the anticipation of messing up but after I began I relaxed and sang and played just fine.” John- ston played piano and sang “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys. Junior Alex Mayer performed magic tricks by making metal rods magically bend and then asked Mr.Clark to accompany him for the next part of his act. Mayer had Clark sign his name on a newspaper and Mayer proceeded to rip the paper into smaller and smaller pieces and eventually put those same pieces back into its original form, amazing the crowd. There were 16 acts, separated into two parts with a short intermission in between • Keanu Taylor performed a dance to “Remember the Time” by Michael Jackson • Kara Pizzolo showcased her voice to “Only Hope” by Mandy Moore • Noel Tyminski sang “Listen” by Dream Girls •Teya Cartagena Walsh played piano and sang “I Love to Change the World” by 10 Years After • Steven Mayer played guitar to “The Clap” by Yes • Savannah Roberts sang “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts • Taylor Ryans performed “I Have Nothing” by Whitney Houston • Ryan Baccarella performed “I Can’t Help Falling In Love” by Elvis Presley • Amanda Olivera and Angelina Caledron both played guitar as Olivera sang a • Tomas Carson sang Barbra Stresiand’s “Don’t Rain On My Parade” 70’s and 80’s Rock Medly • Kennard Johnston sang and played piano to “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys • Willie White III sang “Wonderful World” by Louis Armstong • Kimme Taylor sang John Legend’s “This Time” • Keith Egan sang with Nick Piescor playing guitar to “Electrified” by Keith • Jude Duane was a sound-alike to Elton John when he performed “Your Song” Egan himself • Michelle Finn sang and Marlea Maltz played guitar to “Over My Head” by The Fray • Cassidy Peniston performed “Rise Like a Phoenix” by Conchita Wurst • Daniel Sakumoto played guitar to an instrumental and original piece called “Ebb & Flow” • Sirron Yarborough showed off his dancing skills to an R&B medley of songs • Alex Mayer performed magic with bending metal rods and ripping up a newspaper then • Regene Odon ended the show by performing “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed piecing it back together Sheeran Photo Credit: Paula Popok Paula Credit: Photo February PSAC Principal Student Advisory Board By Olivia Farr-Emmons ‘16 Contributor Since September, the Principal Student Advisory Committee has met every other month at 7:20 am on the first Tuesday in the Schlieg conference room. This month nine students gathered to discuss issues in an open dialogue with the school’s principal, Mr. Teeple. The meeting starts with an agenda that he wanted to share: • Student faculty game- the ticket money went towards Hero’s and Cool Kids and the concession items went to Relay for Life. Teeple predicted the seniors would win. • The school website was updated to a new layout. The next portion of the meeting was opened up for student concerns: • Emily O’Donnell asked about the PARCC. o He said it’s a graduation requirement that everyone from elementary on through their junior year of high school will have to take. o Seniors got lucky this year and juniors only have to take it this one year. o He said it’s “new and not everything is official and figured out so don’t stress about it too much, we are all in the same boat. “ o He said “every school is now using this test in place of the HSPA.” o This test is electronic so he said computers will be limited before this and kids need to stop taking the keys off the keyboards. He said there’s going to be a new system to track who’s taken them off. It involves seeing who was logged on at that time and will result in a fine. And he said it’s not cheap, so don’t do it. • Kelly Soder asked about bathroom related issues. She was concerned with “fake soap” in the girls’ locker room bathroom. She said the soap seems very watered down and always empty. She also said locking bathrooms causes student stress. Students prefer to use the bathroom between classes. o He said he’s look into soap discrepancies and should be like all the other soap in the other bathrooms. o Mr. Teeple said that locking the bathrooms is in place to prevent unsupervised bathroom use. He said “In previous years students would write bomb threats in the bathroom and would deal drugs in there during that time.” • Kelly Soder also brought up concerns with having to use student IDs for everything. She says it stresses students when you don’t have it and need it. o You need it for the library, evacuation drills, and getting into the school. o He said students must have it at all times and it shouldn’t really be a problem. • Several students brought up issues with the lunch lines. How people cut to talk to friends without being reprimanded and it’s also disorganized. Students stand in the sandwich line for things other than sandwiches and waste their time and how there’s no system put in place for a better way to handle the disorganization. o Mr. Teeple said he’s never heard of that specific problem before and he would look into it. The next meeting is April 7, 2015 and everyone is welcome to come. Donuts and juice are provided as well.

  • Intertwined 2020: Hidden ~ Story Transcripts
    Intertwined 2020: Hidden ~ Story Transcripts Sarah Blanchard I have a dear friend named Tim. He is wicked smart, extremely strong, super quirky and cuddly, and, he is terrified of tasers. He freaks out whenever he hears one. We don’t know why. He’s never told us what causes this reaction. In college, some friends would use this bit of information against him, because they found it hilarious. One day we were sitting in our living room, Tim was hanging in the hammock, and one my friends went up behind him and turn on the taser right by his ear. It was one of the tasers you have to physically touch the person with, so it didn’t actually hurt him, but it still made that super loud crackling sound that tasers make. Tim jolted so badly that he fell out of the hammock. He screamed out, started yelling at us and then stormed upstairs to his room because he was so upset. While some people may find pranks like this funny, I find them rather heartbreaking. I can empathize with Tim because I myself, have something about me that people don’t understand. Something that make me different. I suffer from a disorder caused Misophonia, which basically means I am hyper-sensitive to certain sounds. In fact, misophonia literally means “the hatred of sounds”. When you have Misophonia the flight or fight mechanism in your brain, the stress response, gets triggered in inappropriate and non-life threatening situations. In other words, when I hear a certain sound, my brain and body react as if I am legitimate in danger.
