"One minute I was sitting in silence, and then sud n y the sound of gunshots exploded around me," exclaimed Ra a Kathre1n ' 1 , Rasha and her family traveled all the wa to Lebanon to weeks ast summer. At that time The Departm nt of State'f, 'Vr·b 1te urged all U.S. citizens to avo1d travel to Le anon due to saf and security concerns. For good cause too, while Ra a and her fa tly were in Beirut (the capital of Lebanon), a car bomb exploded. "The moment the car bomb went off, th apartment literally shook as we sat there in fear wonderi g what had appened," commented Zach Kathrein (9), Rashas brother. The experience wasn't II bad, tho gh. They got to see family and enjoy a unique vacation i which the jet skied and shopped. "Overall, the trip was agical, b ause we got to learn about a totally different cultural t an our own and taste what it's like to live 1n a thtrd-world country," sai Rasha. Some vacations wer simply a out getting away to have a good t1me w1th friends. Cole Iommen 11) traveled w1th the JV summer baseball team to Scottsbluff, Nebraska for a weekend tournament. "The Tournament was · tense: 1t had my heart pumping like the tornado we saw coming home, blu ed Cole. The team was JUSt o s1de o De er when suddenly The Lafayette Tornado touched down within two ties of the mterstate. "I thought we were done for," satd Justin Hinze (12). The summer was abo t ge ing break and relaxtng even though m some instances it w s o han what one had bargained for. One thing that vacationers ha 1n commo was a lifelong memory that was sure to remain. "The flight was long and boring, but 1 the end, it was completely worth it,' shouted Joshua Kenyon (11 ). Josh and his family traveled to Orlando, Florida to soak up the sun and spend some time together. "It was flipping amazing!

David Pritchard (1 0) flew to Germany ith his mom ov r the summer for vacation A lot of Davtd's family lived in Germany. He oticed somethmg peculiar soon after arriving. "A lot of people walk there; they don't drive cars like we do," David. Being in a foreign country could be a cultural shock. Some people may have found it tough to eat foreign food . David did no. "The food was amazing especially the schnitzel." The summer was a very different experience for each student. From out running tornados to being stunned by a car bomb. �lxu• cnt h tun btt the tt is dtlfc 'tnt trx II\ tl Cou1 Pn l.'ln J(l( pc<.., I to tl-- foC'd!" <n n p< t...~<. \Ill£ \H lUblc eo.: nt the lxwh l ls d C'l ctl'<j �he alarm clock shrieked, and about 1,256 students reached over h1t the snooze button and groaned. It was August 20, the ftrst day of school. Thankfully 11 was already Thursday and the there were only two days m the week left. August meant back to the early mormngs and hard work. Goodbye to sleeptng 1n late and hello to blanng and buzztng early mormng wake up calls. ''Waktng up at 6 a.m was the hardest part of the first day back." complatned, Justin Hinze (12). The day started promptly at 7:05 with the first warning bell. Seniors strutted to thetr classes as the freshman looked frantically around to find thetrs. Link Crew, a program developed to help the freshman get comfortable wtth thetr new surroundings, began worktng before the first day. Lmk leaders train for the mcoming freshman and learn how to assist them from August 3 - 7. They engaged 1n games and activies geared to help them ga•n the skills necessary for welcomtng the new freshmen. Tre' Gtles (11) explained. "Ltnk Crew IS an exhilaraltng benefit that lets me participate 1n helptng the underclassmen and establishing new relationships." The training seemed to pay off, because Unk leaders made thetr mark and helped a lot of new students feel better about entering such a btg and new school My ftrst day as a freshman was confustng, I did not know where any of my classes were. Ltnk Crew dtd help a lot to find my way around and gwde me through the high school envtronment," commented Westlay McCann (9). Another student simply felt better about the new experience after a few days under hts belt. "It was scary trying to find out where classes were and how the teachers were going to be, but after the first couple of days it was smooth." announced Zee Paquette (9). Reuniting wtlh old friends was a special lhtng the f1rst few days. There was always a feeling of refreshment coming into school at first and seeing someone one had not seen since last school year. "Remtnisctng wtth old fnends and bwlding stronger relaltonshtps with new ones IS my ma1n lhtng th1s year• admitted Max Marttnez (12). A new year meant new beginnings - from fresh fads to new attitudes. "I have to keep my swag fresh th1s year~'' stated Stev1e Redman (1 0) There were new fashion statements to be made, though, such as the tight jeans, also referred to as "skinny jeans. "They are comfortable and look extra good on me." boasted Josh Padilla (12). Along with the dress style and fears were also new goals and renewed goals. "My goal lhts year is to make varsity in football, wrestling, and baseball!" exclaimed Dominack Casteallanos(11 ). After a few weeks, the novelty of returning to scht>ol wore off, classes got harder, and stress levels rose. Alltn all, though, the begtnntng of the year a always memorable. T �D mu dent ntar\ 12 ��The five days before the btg homecoming game and the dance showed the true spirit of Wtdefleld. These five days allowed students to express themselves. Spirit week conststed of Red Light- Green Light Day, Pajama Day, Mustache Day, Hippie Day and of course, Class Color Day. Monday kicked off the week with Red Ltght - Green Light Day when students wore red, yellow and green. Red meant one had a date to the dance; yellow meant the student haven't dectded 1f he or she wanted to go to the dance; and, green, of course, meant the student was going but not with anyone special. On Tuesday, students flocked to school in flannel pants and t-shirts. Even teachers wore their sleepwear. Mrs. Overstreet as even brave enough to wear footsies throughout the day. From footsie pajamas to Dr. Pepper pajama bottoms, Gladiators took advantage of wearing some sleepy attire to classes and meetings. Real or fake mustaches. e1ther way th1s was a wacky way to show school spirit. The hairy upper lips were emphasize on Wednesday. "I cant grow a mustache my self, so I might as well buy one," Joanne Austria (12) sa1d. She spent only two dollars on her fake mustache and displayed her new facial hair all day Wednesday. Instead of spen ing a few bucks on a mini ha1ry caterpillar, some students Sharpied on a 'stache or used some make-up. On Thursday, Sp1rit Week began to show s1 ns of peace. Peace signs were thrown up and tie dyed shirts filled the halls. "It was groovy, baby," Kyle Gannaway (12) admitted. Mr. Jury was qu1te possibly the most adventurous hippie tea her. From the boots to the rings he definitely stuck out in the crowd of fros, braids, and stra1 htened hair. The last day of Spin! Week was a time honored and never changing theme - Class Color and Hat Day. Freshmen sported white shirts; sophomores wore grey; jun1ors strutted around with columbia blue; and the seniors claim d navy blue. Many students also wrote on their shirts to show off their spirit for their classes. This was just one, out of the many school days, that students were also llowed to wear hats. Hats ranged from favorite sports teams to wild top hats. Due to the pep rally, also scheduled on F day, classes was cut short. Screams, laughs and smiles bellowed throughout Bowers Gym. Student cabinet led the student body tn a few class competitions, then announced the ten Homecom1ng nominees. Later that afternoon, the carnival began. Face paintmg "W's" 1n the shades of blue and white were just one of the tables set up during the carn1val. ROTC had a bar-bque stand filled with hot dogs, sodas, and ch1ps and N.H.S. offered sand art bracelets. After the carnival was finished the final event of the n1ght began The Widefield homecoming game started at 7 p.m. and the stands ere filled. Our Varsity Football team played a hard fought game against Mitchell. 11 ���'"""I '"I me:-\ a• 11 11\<l.K tl tl,,~,. fmll--.,'1" lu· 111 th< C. nunuruh l'wnde I~"I<J ,'Q.,' t'\ <X 1100 tluLl I c ducll,t I ""C ( 1\ tit~ l lC ( r lL C.tr C"~IM IA.J/\.~ LA ·e Vler c.Ivw! s.V~cw . .u "J:H ~~e Clvw!

The staff helps prepare for the schools to begin marching and the police block off the roads. The band plays the schools theme song to the march1ng sound of NJROTC and the rehearsed moves of the cheerleaders. This years parade took place on November 23rd, a nice clear morning. Students, parents, and teachers filled the sidewalks starting at 9:30a.m. Students demonstrated their school spirt by painting their faces, and wearing their beloved widefield gear. The float were decorated delicately. The schools teachers and students took their time for preparing the1r floats for th1s years parade. The floats were the best part of the parade. Most of the time spent on the parade was during making the floats. "To be in a float in a parade it was thrilling. I loved how all eyes were on me," exclaimed Jakeana Thomas {12). You could see in the eyes of the crowd that a community parade was a great way to get the community involved with the many things that were going on. "To me the community parade is a great way for our community to get together and show our pride and involvement in our community. Yes we can!"Diego Rivera (12). While candy was being thrown to the crowd by the participants kids scavenged the side of the road for the free candy. Students showed up with their faces painted and their undeniable Widefield logo shirts. After the parade all the students, parents and teachers bombarded the stadium for the very anticipated seasonal game Widefield vs. Mesa. The excitement of the parade carried on to the game. At the game their was a carnival with food , games, set up activities, that everyone could enjoy The game drew tension from each side of the stands after every play one would be screaming or mopping around. Though the game was so competitive everyone still had their colors on to represent which side their on even though everyone was combined. The parade definitely showed widefield pride �It was easy to just throw on a pair of sk1nny jeans, but it took real commitment to poke holes in one's body or use it as a canvas. "I knew a woman that lived in Arizona; she decided to be risky and get a jewel put in her neck, but in order to do this, they had to take some tissue out of her neck first," Quinton Bodry (1 0) told his classmates, "She said it hurt." Dylan Miranda (11) never had any flesh taken out, but he did get his cheekbone pierced. "It's called the Anti-Eyebrow. It looks like two, but it's really only one" Dylan commented. "I got 1t at Shrap Metal for only $1 0". Tattoos and piercing could vary in cost depending on size, and venue, but generally, artists were ask1ng a starting price of 50-75 dollars an hour for tattoos. With that kind of fee, a person really had to be committed to his design and to his purpose. Not only did students get tattoos for self expression, they got tattoos with meaning behind them. Angela Appuzo (12) explained, "I have a Celtic Healing symbol on my back, and it means a lot to me." But one of the biggest questions that came was "Does it hurt?" Nick Salazar {12} commented, "Well, yeah my tattoo hurt. It's a tattoo. But it's not like excruciating pain or anything." Micah James {1 0} agreed, "I have my nose, my ears, and my belly button pierced. And once you get over the initial pop, you're good to go." A cheaper version of the tattoo (and less permanent) was Henna. It wasn't the most popular form of self-expression , which helped make people like Kaitlyn Chadbourne (10) stand out even more. Kaitlyn commented, "Well, I was just at this store one day, when I saw this kit. It was a henna kit, and I've always like henna and thought that it was cool. So, I bought it and just went crazy!" Still, others found more ways to make their own statements. Hands were not to be forgotten . Felicia Twiss (12) paid to get acrylic put over her real na1ls. She got them done about every two weeks. It cost 30 dollars to get the acrylic put on , and 18 dollars for refills. What made Felicia unique wasn't the acrylic. Most g1rls had fake nails at one point or another. Felicia stuck out from the crowd, because her nails were Incredibly long. One might wonder how she could function with such claws. "You know how some people say that when they have acrylic nails on or when their nails are super long that they can't function, right?" Felicia asked. "Well , it's the total opposite with me; I can't function right when I don't have them!" Some guys didn't overlook the nails, either. It wasn't too uncommon to see fingernail polish on the occas1onal boy. Zach Mathis (11) wore black nail polish when the mood touched him. "I usually just wear black nail polish when I'm depressed," he explained. Zach also occasionally wore black eye-liner too. "I just started wearing it, because it really brings out my eyes," he admitted as he batted his eyes at a boy across the hallway. Another way that students made their eyes more noticeable was by wearing colored contacts, whether for prescription or just for fun . Patine Mundo (11) said, "I wear contacts for fun. I like changing the color of my eyes, and the color of the contacts just looks wicked!" When asked where one could get a pair of these "just for fun contacts" Patine replied, "You can get them at "La Plaza Mex1cana", regular colors are 20 dollars, and funky colored or ones w1th designs are 40 dollars." There were many different ways to express oneself, to stand out from the crowd. From attitude to clothing to what someone had on their skin there are millions of ways that made each person different. �I et qirlfru:nd that'"""' 1\ has her upper ·p P' cd e p<etnnq us aulcd I h . lru;l n :">!om n �<'IW Rolx•:ts 1 II J plu) • an mt 1 qan au-d.. acpu t P..xu>d,n B.uun ti2J u•tl t c J< 11 la.stul 1 oe I ,Jf ' I tJ (_ "'lltl Cl' !OJ ( l( RIIO\( -<\ltl ( IL I '•'" ( ,,, ••t ('" sd < nl lll<lKIIHJ lu1 d •I d '"'nds. ,hl"\ <'fK"-u.Jl lunql u 1 .-he,. om 'l 111 hu1 sci• 18 l.CJI t, >o.sst:s tncn c ft e -utk ( ( tlo ll d 1'1 b U X II< .. �• Many students had hobbies, but very few ha one as interesting as Kenny Johnson's (12) we1rdl nique . ~ hobby. It was adored by some and hated by o rs. Inevitably, someone always asked, "How do you normally react to other people's reaction to your laugh?" Kenny exclaimed, "Hahaha, that's funny! To be honest with you,' Kenny shrugged, "I couldn't honestly care less," starting to laugh again. Hobbies seemed to define people, such as the artist, the nerdy card collector, or the popular jock. One of Gabby Williamson's (12 favorite hobbies was playing her favorite instrument, the Ocarina. A very unique instrument from the video game "Zelda and the Ocarina of Time". It was based on the actual instrument the character used m the game. The blue, porcelain nstrument was shaped like a rather large egg, and it had 12 keys. "I think this is a strange hobby, because rarely anybody knows what an ocanna rs, Gabby remarked with a shrug. CarriAnn Wheeler (9) liked to talk with her friends whenever she got the chance. In the middle of class or just out in the halls, she always had someone to talk to, even 1f it was about s1mple gossip. The talkmg would never end 1n her book. Lifting his head up high, Corey Woissol (1 0) stated "My hobby is to collect toy cars.". He had a shoe box full of oy cars. anything from hot-wheels to match cars. Angelo Bresciani (11) liked to do Parkour. Th1s doing certain types of stunts or tncks, such as domg back flips off of walls or even climbing up them. ThiS takes a lot of upper and lower body strength. "It takes a lo of mental preparation,"Angelo announced. ''There are difficulties when it comes to th s. Some of the thmgs I can do, take e awhile to get ready for. 'cause there's always the fear of falling on my head." Last year in gym, Angelo eli bed the back of the stadium bleachers after he got finished with his m le run. Hobbles defined students, and th se people were defined as the crazed laughing man, the talkat1ve freshman, the collector, the cool stunt man, and the nerdy mstrumentalist �.....a nu qu t I :-\ u 1t"\ 11 ..l ..,lc\ c ancl ..6,. l '00' lhc Ic t'-l"- l toe hct �o 1 tp Lao J' ut m Brtt m nql t (I ls..u •It cpllld ~utu 1 lt td ao J dct HJ tl <t' 11 ulttl n 1 T 188846 UHJ Two dollars and fifty cents. That's what it cost to get a chicken sandwich and a water from the carts. That's what Michael Anderson (9) bought almost every day for lunch W1th the introduction of tree and reduced lunches, the lunch lines seemed busier than ever this year. A student could spend a good port1on of lunch in line, wa1ting for a sandwich, a bag of chips, or a chocolate brownie. One major change for the year was the removal of candy and sodas and sugared drinks from the lunch lines. To follow a student nutrition law, which was passed last year, sodas were taken from the vending machines as well. The law limited the calorie count and sugar amount in drinks sold from the vending machines. Forrestte Brinkerhoff (1 0) didn't think that was a problem, because she could just bring it from home. However, her friend wasn't so lucky. Chandra Brown's (1 0) mother wouldn't let her drink soda at home, so she couldn't drink it at home or school because of the changed law. With low carb th1s and sugar-tree that, long lines, and high prices, some students avoided having to buy food at the school all together. Laura Nguyen (1 0) brought her own lunch, usually a Nutella sandwich or a pbj, because she didn't want to spend her invaluable lunch time waiting in line. "I don't stand in line, because I like to hear Audrey's story for the fifth time that day," she laughed at her inside joke. Teanne Koch (1 0) got Laura and her group of friends hooked on Nutella, the chocolate spread from Germany. "I don't like peanut butter and jelly or meat, so now I eat it [Nutella] every day," explained Teanne's friend, Marina Aragon (1 0), "Every once in a while, Teanna bnngs the whole jar, strawberries, and whipped cream and shares it with us. People look at us weird. The freshmen come up to us and are like, 'What are you eating?"' Marina and her friends weren't the only ones to eat unique foods. Logan Harrington (11) once tried grapes with melted cheese on them, and he liked the results. Alysha Jackson (11) loved pretzels with mustard since she was a kid. Augustine Romero (1 0) ate the Mexican cow stomach soup called Menudo on a regular basis with her family. For some, their hunger was never satisfied. The moment they got home, sometimes after a long day of classes or practice, they rummaged through the cupboards looking for quick snacks or even dinner. Crackers, fruit snacks, pudding, and ramen noodles -whatever they could get their hands on. Some of us had weird eat1ng habits. Some of u ate our parents out of house and home sometimes. We all had one thing in common, though - we all had to eat even if it was common, strange, or a cultural dish. �Kds l.cnq ll pm (1('( nnd tt• ,. fu U111 ll 1 Kds~e r ll h.Jlct " lS a drut .md t �() Chris German (12) quietly held up his puzzle piece for the Multicultural class. On it, to represent his own culture, a small picture. A silhouette with bent knees, "Jerking is a Habit," written on top. "I'm Chris, and I like to Jerk." A distracted student, no longer distracted, jerked his head to the back of the room at Mrs. Eberwein . The room quieted, tense. "What did you say," asked Mrs. Eberwein, uncertain. "I like to Jerk," Chris reiterated, "It's a dance." Jerking, a popular dance, created by the New Boyz, two 17 year-old boys from California, became somewhat of a craze for teenagers. "The Jerk is basically like doing the running man except backwards and more complicated. I think it's funny to watch people who don't know what they're doing, because they look like chickens with their heads cut off," giggled Tanisha Brown (11 ). Other popular dances were the Cupid Shuffle (to go along with Cupid's song) and Do the Ricky Bobby (by S-Hamp) . "Crank Oat Soulja Boy is boring and lame now," claimed Jamekia Howell (9). "Soulja Boy's songs all sound repetitive, but Crank Oat Soulja Boy will most definitely be remembered for its hot beat and easy dance moves." Old dances such as The Electric Slide, Cha Cha Slide, The Twist, and YMCA always brought smiles and laughter to parties around the world . These dances were a great way to exercise and spend time with friends . "I love to dance, because I am able to get all my feelings out through it, and it's a way to express yourself. I make up my own dance moves," expressed Gabby Artmeier (11 ). There were a lot of cultural dances, too. Mexican dances such as Duranguense had a fast tempo and fun vibe to it. Duranguense was a hot teenage dance where partners held each other by hand and waist and began to stomp their feet on the dance floor while moving at a fast pace. "Duranguense was amazing and fun to dance to, because you can show off and put your own unique style into it while getting exercise," chuckled Berenice Amuezcua (12). Mariah Warner (12) , who was Guamanian/Chamorro, claimed she loved watching the Haka football players dance. Before a football game, the players put on a dance that got them hyped and ready to play. They slapped their bodies to revitalize energy, made mean faces and chanted words not to insult their opponents, but to inform them that they were ready and prepared to win the game and to promote unity. "The football players look so fierce and beastly, like they're ready to devour their opponents. I loved the dance, because it reminded me of my childhood," she happily expressed. Country music, such as "Hick Town" and "She's Country" (both by Jason Aldean) were what was playing on Dalton Roots' (1 0) iPod. He loved the "Country Hoedown" and the "Siappin Leather", even though he claimed that he was not good at it. From "You're A Jerk" to "She's Country", dancing found a way to bring out personality, individuality and a sense of worth to the world. It brought out true emotions of expressions, livened up clubs, mosh pits, raves , and even backyard parties. ��I spent most of my t1me with my fnends at r house or m1ne, or ch1ll at a party, "chuckAiyssa Huerna (12) with best fnend Nicole ~"'d~IJt::r (12). Most students felt that it was a better way to sane by go1ng over to their fnends house gett1ng out of the1rs. Timothy Ernest (12) explained that be1ng bored staymg and play1ng video games is not what would prefer to do. "I would rather go out and mingle w1th my on a beautiful day".

Whether 1t was JUSt a weekend, summer, or after-school JOb there was one for everyone. A JOb could be a source of savmgs or personal money, and 1t vaned from everyone "I never spend my paycheck! It all goes to my bank account for college savmgs. assured Josh Kenyon (11 ), who works at the World Arena as a ticket taker Hav1ng a steady source of 1ncome greatly benefited students w1th jobs, as 1t gave them more personal expenence w1th expenses and finical management. College tuition and fees were a daunt1ng obstacle for many JUniors and sen1ors, but working students who were interested m savmg chipped away at tUition. Apply1ng for a JOb also changed in recent years. Some students went the old paper application route, but applying online has started to appeal to more and more job-seekers. 'It 1s actually more eff1c1ent than wntmg thmgs down. I like computers better," answered Andreah G1bson (12), an employee at Target. Applying online also appealed to eco-fnendly students who looked to save more paper. Th1s was an advantage to students who wanted to f1ll out more applications qu1cker and easier. Balancing a job w1th school and friends could also prove to be difficult. Homework was a dauntmg management problem for students. "I JUSt pnoritize my t1me a lot and make sure not to get behind," explamed Cole Glommen (11). STEP (School To Career Partnership) was a student elect1ve that had workmg JOb expenences as an opt1on available to students. The class was based on how many hours a student worked to rece1ve cred1ts. STEP students were graded monthly based on the1r hours, wh1ch were wntten down on logs. However, STEP students had to have good attendance at school, or they were at nsk of dropp1ng from the class. Even with its limitations, STEP was a mvaluable option for students who desired work of their cho1ce and an eas1er way to work. ����Sina Good (12) gulped her can of cream soda. She was puzzled. "Arianna, what does she mean by weird secret talents?" she asked. The two were sitting down near the counseling center at lunch. Arianna DeVries (11) didn't miss a beat, "Like how my brother used to bite his toe nails by reaching his whole foot to his mouth. Things like that." Sina laughed in shock. How disgusting! "That's not a weird talent. That's just nasty, man," Sina responded. Sina took another bite of her lunch. "Well, what about Tia Canty?" Arianna asked. Tia could tie a cherry stem into a knot in her mouth. No hands! Rumor had it that it only took Tia five times to get it right. Sina's face lit up. She had a sudden realization "Come to think of it, I have a weird talent, I guess. ''Being dumb isn't a talent, Sina, "Arianna teased. "The last t1me I heard that, I fell off my dinosaurl ANYWAYS ... I can touch my nose with my t ngue. See! In your face, punkl It took me 7.28 year conquer this brilliant talent of mine." Maybe it didn't take us 7 28 years, but there were some of us who did take time to practice our talents, such as Brandon Reyes (11 ). He stated that it took him around three tries to finally accomplish his skateboarding tricks. Then there were others who were surprised by their talents. Kimberly Welch (11) stated that she just happened to stumble upon her talent. "I was with my family when I found out. I was filled with utter excitement when I could lick my elbow, because it's supposed to be impossible!" Some people like Caitlin Boese (12) had talents that seemed to be hereditary. "I can touch the bottom of my foot to the top of my head. I just did it, my sister asked me if it was possible. Yeah, I showed her. My 88-year old grandma could do the same thing, but she could put both legs behind her head and walk on her hands." Whether practiced or inherited, from skateboarding to licking your nose, talents made us unique and diverse. ��l l ) lt\.'\t\( fi.4 Ut't(.

Matt became interested in unicycling three years ago when unicycle club was introduced to him. "Because of years of un1cycle club and intense training that tested me physically and mentally I was eventually able to overcome the challenges of mounting that stallion," giggled Matt as he imagined his one-wheeled escape to individuality. Matt did not just ride his unicycle during the club meetings, he also rode it many other places, because he didn't have a car to zoom around in. "I ride it up and down my street, down the occasional curb, on the backs of (old lady) cougars, and through the redwood forest." Not everyone knew how to ride unicycles, of course. Some had to get rides from friends or family members, not only to school but to various hang out spots. Lindsay Steen (1 0) admitted, "My boyfriend drives me around." While some bummed rides, others had to be the ride givers. Dani Peck drove a Volkswagen Passat. Having one's own car was a luxury, though. It meant lots of money for gas, insurance, and upkeep. With the price of gas around $2.50 a gallon, some spent a good portion of their paychecks on gas alone. Dani luckily got around 27 miles to the gallon. "I drive myself everywhere. My gas mileage is great," she said. Other students weren't so lucky. Diesel fuel was even more expensive. Daniel Zumbo drove a black suburban that ran off diesel. He was on his own when it came to paying for gas. "I pay for my own gas, and it sucks. I only get around 18 miles per gallon. I drive to work, the gym, and hockey practice." Daniel went through gas fairly fast and was filling up constantly. On a monthly basis Daniel put around 160 dollars of gas, if not more, in his big, black beast. "On a weekly basis I put, like, 40 bucks of gas in my car. It gives me about a quarter of a tank." Some students, especially underclassmen, had to rely on good ol' fash1on footwork. Some even preferred walking places. Damien Hightower(11) stated," Walking is boring and it takes a while, but I'd prefer it over driving, because it's free." Being free was definitely a plus for Damien, because staying healthy was very important to Damien since he did sports year-round. Another ride that required some foot power was skateboarding. Even though it was still on four wheels, it was free and required no fuel. The only downside to getting around on skateboards was the school didn't allow them on the campus. Whether it was by car or unicycle, students always managed to get from here to there. �;l,itcl' IH ol11 the S< ph om ewe fXU-klliCJ ,ot Vuuuttinc ("l(;ttj n (fll <Ji' ' . i<Jt' LL"' ll~, u pi<J<J) lxu:k "" "ithout fuUinq "'"''' .

"I have four dogs, two cats, five kittens, one tarantula, one bearded dragon , and one frog," admitted Kari Stull (9), counting on her fingers. Kari, who called her two brothers monkeys, didn't have the most common of pets. "Some people th1nk that sp1ders are disgusting, but I love them. My tarantula likes to crawl on my back. My frog is really gross; he is slimy and stinks," Kari scrunched up her nose. She may have had some unusual pets, but this freshman was like many other pet owners. She loved her animals and worked hard to take care of them. "Two of my dogs are Chihuahua's. I don't think it's cool to dress up your pet, but we put sweaters on our Chihuahuas in the winter." It wasn't easy taking care of a pet. Proper care could mean lots of money, time, and headaches. That's why most people only had a few animals. Zach Mathis explained (11 ), "I have one dog that is mine and a cat that is my sisters." Zach's Shih Tzu "She is considered a part of the family when it comes to dinner time. She likes to beg for food and try to sit at the table with us. Besides dog food, she loves to eat chicken. She constantly wants attention and wants to sleep with me all the time." Zach, who had his cherished dog for four years, proudly labeled her as a smart dog. "When I spell out t-r-e-a-t, she knows exactly where to go for it." Michelle Pez (1 0) had three medium-sized dogs named Nikki , Emily, and BoBo. "They all are attention hungry and want to be loved all the time," she stated. "If I pet Emily, then Nikki comes over and wants to be loved. BoBo is the sweetheart; he will come over if he feels or sees that you are unhappy and he will come and hang out with you. Paris Hilton might have been disappointed with Michelle's treatment of Nikki, Emily, and Bobo, though. "I will never dress up my dogs. Seeing dogs dressed up is terrible!" That's not to say that Michelle neglected her furry pals. They were kept well-fed. "They all like to eat EVERYTHING that they can get into. They eat salad, meat, chocolate and other unmentionables," she explained with a proud smile, though she did admit that one of them liked to lick up spit. "I was walking my dog, BoBo, and some guy across the street spit on the ground. Bobo went and licked it up. It was so, so gross!" It wasn't cheap having three pets. Careful pet owners needed to dish out good money for food, hygiene products and care, vet visits, and sometimes even kennel care or doggy day care. Assistant Principal, Mrs. Houchens, admitted to spending $20 a day per dog on her own doggy day care. Michelle Pez's family spent their fair share on their family pets, too. "We spend, on average, up to $100 a week on them, altogether." The cost and time of pets could be demanding, but most pet own· ers agreed that it was worth it. �"Simple and classy, never trashy, unique like Shantanique (Shan-ta-nique) 'cause that's just me," expressed Shanti Bridgewater (12). Many girls expressed their unique style, from the color they wore to how they dressed. Girls' fashion this year has brought back the life of the 80's, with bright neon colors, leggings and retro glasses. New fashions, such as skinny jeans and scarves had become especially popular in the last year. Punk, preppy, hip hop, and 80s were all the hot trends, but no one really came out with something as different as Deanna Gerweck's (12) style. She woke up early in the morning to pick out something that was far from the trend, and make it into a style that was different but still cute. Others, like Megan Okuly (12), would pick different clothes from her closet and put them together to make a mix-matched outfit. "I dress according to the mood I'm in and I don't care about what others may th1nk of me," she explained. At the end of summer, in August girls came dressing to impress for the first week of school. Plaid shirts and skirts were very popular throughout the hallways and everyone tried to wear all there summer gear before the cold chill hit the state. During the fall, Casey Schwarts (1 0) dressed in a girly and laid back style wearing sweats and aT-shirt. Considering the weather could be a bit chilly Casey was always prepared to be warm and relaxed. Skirts and dresses were out as soon as the frost flew in. There was never a limit on how much a girl would spend on an "in" outfit. Whether the price of clothes were high or low any girl could make a fashion statement. Whether it was accepted or not was a whole different story. "I like to dress different from everyone else, and if i have old clothes in my closet i turn it into something new and funky." explained Kim Welch (11 ). ����Diagnosed when she was a kid, Alysha lives with exercise-induced and allergy-induced asthma. Her asthma limited her abilities to do some of the things she loved like runMorgan was diagnosed with dystonia, ning and playing at church or school.

When Anthony Gray was seven , his hair fell out; 1t didn't come back. He was one of the few students allowed to wear a hat on a daily basis to school. "It doesn't really affect me on a daily bas1s, but it affects me sometimes, becau e in some places or thing, I don't really want hats," he dmitted, but he didn't think it really affected him at school all that much. "It can bother me, because teachers that don't know about it argue ith me in the hallway saying take off your hat, or students will come up to me asking why I wear a hat. If 1 don't answer they assume, I have cancer.... l don't care what people or think, because I know what happened, not them." While some might find the situation discouraging, Anthony d1dn't let his situation get him down. "It doesn't really matter anymore. Before I used to care in other schools. When I was younger I got in a lot of fights about my hat." Anthony saw himself as a regular kid. "I don't really notice anything about the hat; I feel that I fit in. I try not to be self-conscious, because I feel that I get nowhere 1n life like that." �"I almost died from Strep A , and almost everyone does die because the infect1on attacks so quickly that there 1sn't t1me for culture results to come back for doctors to know what they're treating," Mrs. Buys explained. Mrs. Buys had MRSA, which lead to double below knee amputation (BKA). "I got MRS (antibiotic resistant infection/super bug) from being in 1 ospital after having necrot1z1ng otis due to Strep A I toxic shock syndrome, causing different body systems to fail." As a result, Mrs. Buys lost both legs and had to wear prosthetiC legs that "aren't quite right." Walking was extremely painful for her which meant in order to get around, she used a wheelchair or crawled. She could not drive until her legs ·worked better." "It is hard to always rely on others to get from here to there. I can't go do what I want when I want. I live 1n a split level house, so I have to crawl up and down the stairs. I can't do laundry on my own . I can't reach everything I used to. I have to rely on others a lot more than ever. I miss doing things like shopping, going into the backyard to play with my children or do gardening," she said . School presented challenges for Mrs. Buys. The building, which " isn't exactly wheelchair friendly" prevented Mrs. Buys from going to second floor classrooms and through some doorways and even some bathrooms. While she admitted that getting discouraged and angry was easy, she also explained, "My disability does not define me. It changes how I do th1ngs and see things, but I am not just an amputee. I am Angela Buys, wife, mother of four, Spanish teacher, 30 years old. avid reader. nature lover star gazer, dreamer. The list goes on and on and on ...

It caused severe stomach cramps, the inability to drink more than a cup of caffetnated dnnk a day, and limited what food could be consumed. It also could cause dehydratton and vomiting. Rees used to be hospttalized, because of the pain. "I had to limtt the amount of caffeine, greasy foods, and spicy foods, since they were known to cause flare ups. I've had to also tncrease my fiber tntake," Rees explained the changes he had to undergo as a result of the dtagnosts. The illness could affect Rees in school dramatically, dependtng on the flare up. On average, he missed a week of school each ttme. He admttted that it could be hard to catch up on work, especially in hts A P Classes. "Before I was diagnosed, I would procraslinate on everything, but this taught me to use my time effectively and effectively. I've come to accept it, but still get a little frustrated when I miss both school and work." he admitted. He didn't feel that the his illness made htm any different from other students.

Type one diabetes is a chronic disease where the pancreas can't produce any or enough insulin to control blood sugars. Jesse was diagnosed in 2003, at age eleven. "I was at a family reunion in Texas when I began having horrible stomach pain , and I couldn't really keep any liquids in. When we returned to Colorado, my mom took me to the hospital and I was only there a few minutes when I fell 1nto a diabetic ketoac1dos1s. Ketoacidosis is when the body can't get rid of Ketones and they become toxic because of h1gh blood sugars. I woke up a day and a half later and that's when the doctor told me." Jesse was on an insulin pump; he just entered his carbohydrates and insulin was given through a "sweet little set up called a site." It turned his three shots a day 1nto one shot every three days. Jesse was also affected at school. "It's a hassle taking my blood sugar. Although 1t takes maybe a minute 1t seems longer. Also I have trouble with paying attention in class if my blood sugar is running high or low." What d1d he learn from this challenge? "Having diabetes has really taught me that you can't be shy or embarrassed about a disease. It's a lot easier to deal with when people know." Almost all my friends know I have diabetes, but I don't go around telling people If someone asks I tell . People know1ng really doesn't change how I'm treated or how they act because with or without it I am still the same Ole Jesse. I see myself as normal but then again I've had diabetes for seven years, so I forgot what normal life was. But really I think I'm a little different but not to the po1nt where I can't fit in. ~..C&A~{') In the summer of 2006 Gabby was going tnto the s1xth grade when she had a seizure. The doctors first diagnosis was teenage-onset-epilepsy (seizures caused by puberty) . As they kept occurring, the doctors re evaluated Gabby, and decided that the se1zures were non-epileptiC se1zures (unconsciously triggered and uncontrollable). Some of the issues this illness posed for Gabby are the emot1onal stress on her family and wondering what if? If she thought about a se1zure then it was more likely to happen. She got annoyed of all the E. E.G .'s, MAl's, and CT scans. Because of the set back the seizures caused for her, she could no longer play laser tag, or participate in gymnastics Gabby still played basketball, and rode dirt bikes for fun . On a day to day basis she wasn't affected, only when a se1zure occurred, then she couldn't remember things before the seizure, and after there were bruises and sometimes scratches. Even though Gabby got discouraged and didn t always have support at her middle school, she sa1d that , " Everything changed," When she transferred to Widefield . A better support system, friends, and environment were all Improvements for Gabby when she moved up into high school. She said that the school's support system was stronger, and the people that surrounded her were more caring, possibly even too caring. "Going from a girl that was looked at as weird, to going to a girl that's just like everybody else is amaz1ng,'' Gabby stated. All of her fnends and classes know about her disorder, and they knew what to do in case it happened Gabby wanted people to know "Usually after I have a seizure some of my fnends cry and I JUSt want them to ALWAYS know I am okay, that the seizure cant hurt me." �(/) ::r tu ::J 0 ::J I 0 3 co -.s en ......

I , �46 ��e prevalence of overwe1ght adolescents aged 2-19 has more than tripled in the past 20 ears according to cdc.gov. During the year students had packed schedules, between classes, sports, and part time jobs many relied on school sports to stay in shape. To stay healthy you have to consume foods to make your body happy. You either packed your own lunch or you dealt with what the school had to offer. Since Alissya Griego (9) chose to be a prescatarian,(no meat, except fish) the schools' food choices didn't meet her requirements for her diet. Alissya explained, "The school lunch barely has anything I can eat so I have to pack a lunch or JUSt eat bread sticks." Robert G1ese (1 0) proclaimed, "The schools food IS good, I eat the schools food because I'm hungry after fourth period." Along with eating healthy you had to work off all of those calones, Domi Skalla (9) said , "I get two and a half hours of practice, for volleyball, basketball, and soccer. Also I run a little bit to keep in shape." Morgan Zimprich (1 0) explained, "I run about two and a half miles every day, and I do cheer leading every day for about two hours."

"Welcome to the Smash-Out Hunger car bash!" Cole Glommen (11) exclaimed. Max Martinez (12) paid his $1 fee and is waiting for his turn patiently. When his time finally comes he grabs the mallet and smashed the "smash out hunger van". During his turn his safety glasses kept falling off his face but Max didn't mind and at the end of his turn he announced, "Safety comes first." Each student who wanted to 'smash out hunger' had to pay $1 for thirty seconds of destruction. The car bash was just one of the many ways Widefield raised money. Harvest of Love was a time that everyone pulled together and donated money or food cans to Care and Share for the upcoming holidays. "We try to encourage teachers and to have competitions between their classes and we have a school wide competition . The first place class gets breakfast served to them on a PLC day. Second place class gets ice cream sandwiches and the third place class gets cookies." explained Ms. Shipp. One teacher competition started was between Mrs. Murphy, Mrs. Carmody, and Mrs. DeMatto. In the beginn1ng the three teachers raced to beat each other with the most amount of money collected among their classes. Mrs. Carmody commented, "I offered to cook them pancakes and a "geologic" Disney movie, if they met their class goals. Three out of my five classes did." Although Mrs. DeMatto was a new teacher she wasn't completely new to the competition . When Mrs. Dematto was in school , at Widefield , her teachers taught her the importance of donating and she wants her students to gain the accomplishment of Harvest of Love just like she did. She didn't beat Mrs. Gonzales and win the per capita prize but she did ra1se the most money between all of her classes. After the month long event Widefield raised 112,000 lbs. which beat our previous record set in 2007, which was 101,000 lbs. Once all the money was collected and counted Student Cabinet dropped off the donations to Care and Share on Powers.

It can between two or more people. A good relationship consisted of faith , laughs, and caring for each other's feelings , trust and of course those fantastic memories. A best fnend is someone who stuck around even through the harsh times. The drama, the grumpiness and the pomtless fights didn't affect the friend sticking around because a true friend will go through it a million and one times. Friends can eventually turn into more than friends. Boyfriends and girlfriends are something that can occur from a loyal friendship. Whether it was a friend you have known all your life, since elementary school or even the person you met a week ago, a friend is still a friend . "It feels like its been forever since we have been friends." Franky Reyes (12) expressed. Chris Grauman (11) and Franky have only known each other for 3 years. Both of them play co-op on halo for around five hours regularly With this school year half way over some students are still friends with the people they just met at the beginning of the year. Lexie Wood (1 0) and Lindsay Steen (1 0) both sat next to each other in their first three classes. They didn't know each other before this school year started but they soon formed a strong friendship . Other than meeting a friend at school, Tj King (11 ) and Dom Harrison (10) have been very close since they were little kids. They played Resident Evil with bats as guns and rocks as bombs, and they even played mortal combat. Tj and Dom happened to be cousins, but best of friends. "My favorite memory of us was when we were in the basement and Dom threw a big lion stuffed animal up into the air and it hit the light. The light shattered and there was glass everywhere." joked Tj King (11 ). Tj King ( 11) "Now my favorite memory was when we were doing back flips on the trampoline and Tj did a front flip , and didn't land it right so he landed on his back." Dom Harrison (1 0). Friends play a huge part in everyone's lives. Make the best of what one has and make it count.

The week that some ant1c1pated all year showed 1tself fmally m Apnl. W1th the exception of graduation, prom was one of the biggest events of the year. When Monday arrived, a sea of flannel sh1rts h1t the hall. Tuesday, a f1erce "battle" between underclassmen P1rates and upperclassmen NinJaS erupted. When Wednesday came around. students showed off their favorite Hogwarts characters from the Harry Potter mov1es. Jersey Shore Day (a popular reality show from MTV) was on Thursday, and Friday was the traditional hat and color day. ''The days of spirit week are kind of different, to different I don't thmk I'm go1ng to participate." Cass1e Rase (11 ). Spirit week was April 5 -April 9th, but preparations began weeks in advance. Prom could be extremely costly, and it took months to prepare. Prom tickets went on sale m March for $40 a person. It was a good incentive for students to prepare early, because after March 29, the price went up five dollars. That combmed with the cost of dresses (which could range from $50 - $250) and tuxedos ($80 $200) began hurting the pocketbooks of many teens. Then there were the necessary costs of accessories, flowers, transportation, and sometimes even a mce dinner. "Prom is no thang but a chicken wang because hke the song I got money to blow 1All thanks to my amazing mcome at Taco Bell and when I'm not spending money on sexy tuxes I spend my cash on f1ne dinn1ng." Jeremiah James (12) For those students who d dn't have jobs, 1t was hard fmding a way to pay for it all. Some had to find any way they could to pay for all the expenses. M1chael Aragon (12) admitted, "The only way I can afford prom is by shoveling peoples' snow in the w1nter and trim- mmg bushes/hedges so 1t looks better for spnng. Then I save my money for a $140 tux, a $45 prom ticket and of course a $25 meal." Most felt that 1t was money well spent and worth 1t. though. Fmally, the much antrcipated night of April 9 rolled around. It was a Friday, wh1ch was frustratmg for more than one student. The g1rls especially felt hard-pressed to be ready on time Still, the school requ1red that students attend at least four periods of school on Friday to be able to attend the dance "We have to at least come for four periods and it takes a lot longer than 3 hours to get ready for most girls." Christma Vigil (12). At 6 in the evemng, Gladiators, dressed to Impress, began filling the hall at Cheyenne Mountain Resort. The theme was Road to Mumbai (Indian Bollywood). An illusion of bemg 1nside a tent, floatmg candle center pieces and the colors of gold, pink. red and purple helped set the theme for be1ng m India. For the Jumor counc1l, planning and buying took months but the actual set up only took a few hours. "It wasn't hard to decide the theme but we had to find what we wanted, not too many Indian stores m Colorado Spnngs." Mr. Fine. A sampling of the exotic menu Included garlic naan (bread). roast s1rlo1n with mango chutney, grilled tandon chicken, and for vegetarians, potato samosas. ''The food was pretty good except for the salad, the beef was good and the chicken was kind of bland." Andreah Gibson (12). After food was served, a cou le of hours later the king and queen were announced. The winners of prom kmg an queen were Ralphael Brady (12) and saya Caeser (12}.

Next year will be Mrs. Anderson's final year teaching French. After 25 years, she will be retiring. She taught French one, two, three, and four, along with organizing French club. Her French club decorated pumpkins th1s year to celebrate Halloween. The French and German clubs celebrated holidays in the tradition of the languages. Mr. Riddle was a newcomer, teaching German, in the foreign language department. This was his third year teaching high school since the beginning of his career. "Mr. Riddle is a fun teacher. He is always laughmg and is a happy-go-lucky guy as long as you do your work and give him respect. I like how he brought technology into the class this year," remarked Shaquayla Jones (1 0).

Jr. Hellon (11) explamed, "My English classes were all right at times. They've helped me out, but there is a lot of writing in Intermediate Composition." English classes weren't always enjoyable by students, especially writing assignments, but they were, by far, beneficial. �foc tl The bell rang loudly and a flurry of activity began. Students rushed to their seats, papers rustled as warm-ups were ripped out of backpacks, and procrastinators furiously attempted to write n the last few answers to last nights homework. LaMonica Gadson (12) whispered to Athena Robinson(12) . Could she get help for the assignment they did m the class the day before since she was absent? Mrs. Dillingham announced, "Ok, kids.

Keeping up with class was a constant job Students were required to successfully complete six credits of social studies and were able to choose from classes such as Government, Geography, Psychology, and World History. Many students liked social studies classes for their current topics and useful lessons. Furthermore, many of the teachers assigned fun projects like castle building and video presentations, allowing students of all abilities to shine.

"Yeah, you're right that is the compact bone," she agreed. The two analyzed the rest of the bone and named specific parts like hyaline cartilage and sponge bone. After finishing up their lab, they went back to their seats and discussed the next few labs they would be doing. The one they got the most excited about was the pig lab. "I can't wait to dissect the pig. And we get to see all the organs inside!" yelled Samantha. "I know! Me either! It's going to be so awesome!" noted Jordan. Human Physiology taught body structure and functions of the organs. Although learning about the body was interesting, learning about chemicals was just as important, because our bodies contains a few of them. Over in Mr. Napalitano's class students waited loudly for the bell to ring and for class to begin. As soon as it did, kids sat in their seats and started warm ups. Ten minutes later, Mr. N grabbed his Expo-marker and got the class started on notes. The marker squeeked and pencils scribbled furiously. The notes seemed endless in this class. It wasn't an easy class, and required a fair amount of studying. "Some of the people and a few of the labs make it a little better," explained Austin Primmer (1 0).

Linsey Arpad (12) stated, "I'm currently the administration officer for the unit. I do lots of paperwork and keep the cadet the cadet files in order and make sure everyone has their ribbons and ranks they need." Tyler Mcintosh (11) explained, "I'm the orienteering team commander We read military maps to get from one point to another in the fastest ttme using a compass." The class was divided into teams such as the Academic Team, Rifle Team, and Unarmed Drill Team. Many of the teams were required to meet outside of class for additional training and practice. The Academic Team met on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after school and discussed military components. For the second year in a row, their commander was Mallorie Patterson (1 0). Another team, Color Guard, presented the colors at assemblies, games, and marches in the parades. The students showed pride and commitment for the class. They spent their weekends at parades, drill meets, and getting ready for big inspections. On one Saturday every month, the class cleaned Grinnell Road. In fact, the NJROTC class adopted this strip of road. In the middle of the year, each student took AMI (Annual Military Inspection) very seriously. At the inspection, military personal visited the school and inspected the unit. This was when the cadets shined the most. It was a hard class with a lot of demands, but very rewarding. �~ll( I'C\\ I ...klrt..lU\1\ l t u1ts"' < J funnel ftctl <jcl WI'S fn•t l llfi<._ C l'v\ U\ \i:, <K /'il•< J \j,. , LI<I<'K '<ts U(((l l Jl ""J I< t'(.lcllll I tl• \\ ocd '"' l'k 1 .q JI>Kjtt 111., (ll\11(,_[ "Inch l11.d be 11 [v;c, ll ft'< II if.\~) j,. < tz < "' Ru K< I< 1..

Today, we are going to do a running activity," Instructed Ms. Lough. She grabbed the blue exercise balls and put them mto the middle of the small gym. "What k1nd of music do you want to listen to? How about country?" questioned Ms. Lough, and the students enthusiastically agreed. Ms. Lough split the class in separate groups with each set of four ass1gned to one of the four corners in the small gym. "Three ... Two ... One," Ms. Lough counted down, and the class began their running for the next fifteen minutes. "We focus on physical fitness in here, but we also play fun games that can be beneficial later on m life," Ms. Lough explamed. The Special Education staff worked hard to help all kmds of students with varying levels of learning challenges. The common goal, however, was to prepare students with skills for life. Mr. Kelly explained that the classes were "individualized curriculum designed to meet student goals of independence in a variety of areas." The teachers developed a variety of activities to help students gain skills in sequencing and matching, math and reading, cooking, cleaning, and even computer skills. Each week, several classes went on two or three field trips and every Wednesday the classes went to Thunder and Buttons to mingle with students from other schools across the city. These field trips gave real life experiences in cooking, safety, and maintaining appropriate behavior 1n public. IL �At 3 1n the morn~ng, Jack Sexton (12), woke to the cnes of a baby L1ttle D1kwan Ray Sexton was cry1ng and needed to be fed and Jack begrudgingly woke up to take care of his new baby. Earlier that day, Jack had been weanng the "pregnant belly" dunng school and 1t was now h1s time to take home the baby. He was one of the few students, 1n Parenting class, that "gave b1rth" to a kid that same day. Most students were "pregnant" one day and took the baby home the next weekend. "It was an eye-open~ng expenence, especially waking up at 3 1n the morning, but you learn how to take your frustrations out ... on the baby," Jack joked. The pregnant belly was a different expenence for other students though. "It was heavy. I got a bunch of dirty looks and random people came up to me and rubbed it"- Aaliyah Venable (1 0) laughed. Mrs. Little warned the students about caring for the babies before they were sent home. Each baby was equipped with a computer that read information relatmg to the well-being and safety of the child. Another class in Consumer and Fam1ly Studies included Single Living, a class that focused on life after high school. Ms. Little taught cooking techniques and how to manage a house on a budget, find a job, and manage money. Other classes included U.S. Foreign Food and Relationships and Marriage. All of the classes focused on family as the central theme and related to the topics of health and management of life and careers. Consumerism, relationships, ch1ld development, foods and nutrition, home design, and fashion concepts were just few topics covered.

Everyone was drawing or paint1ng, doing there grid drawings, or graffiti pictures. After the class was done w1th a project Mrs. Keenan, would tell all the students to gather around a table to gain insight into their next project that t1ey needed to start. Some of the projects included graffiti drawings. and grid drawings. Ayla Ortega (9) did the graffiti drawing and she said that it was "the most interesting". She would draw her name in different kinds of lettering, and then put a brick wall behind it, then she would top it off by painting it. To express her Individuality and her teach1n techniques Mrs. Keenan said) "Act weird ana let them wander,[students] and I've decided that when I grow up, I want to fight the forces of evil .. .they are everywhere." When asked what he thought about Mrs Keenan, Ednck Elpuz (11) said, "Shes kind of weird sometimes." Art classes that were available were art one, freehand drawing/painting, ceramics, and advanced art. 8 �Drama class was a suspicious class, hidden under the stage, in the auditorium, where students become connected with their inner Shakespearian roots. Practicing stage directions, learning the mechanics of acting, and practicing scripts was the main study of the drama students. Hillary Trumble (12) enjoyed drama because, "It's a creative outlet." Megan Ruggles (11) liked drama class because, "It is interesting because people are outgoing, and act crazy, and don't judge. Kinzie Wilson (1 O)said a similar quote, and smirked at Meagan saying, "Hey I was going to say the same thing." Mrs. Elwell teaches drama for the breakthrough moments," When a really shy kid takes a chance and breaks out of their shell , and I love it when the non shy kid pulls back to play a more reserved part. The advanced drama students were practicing parts off of a script called , "The Actor's nightmare." Alex Ali res (1 0) enjoyed acting because, "you get to express your personality, and you get to have fun with it." People changed, while in drama to be more connected with the part they were playing. �[ J<p< ( Oltz II "' ,.J.:., t Tascha lng _) burst out in laughter.

Tascha gtggled. Mrs. Johnson admitted that she told a lot of stones when teachmg. espec1ally in Career Choices, a class that taught students how to thtnk about choostng and entenng tnto careers. She taught ntne d fferent marketing classes rangtng from Economics to Original Fashtons. Matt Raver {12) took Business Law, whtch taught students about laws and the court system. "It was really nice to learn your real rights as opposed to what people think your rights are," he explained. Kyle Fellman also thought the class was helpful. He sa1d, "I thought it was very beneficial and it is going to help me m the future." If students wanted to take Computer Atded Drafting, accounting, or Computer Drafting or keyboardtng, they could do that too. Mr. Soppe taught a wide range of business classes that met the vanous needs of students.

Remember sweating and push1ng yourself to the po1nt of crying when everybody else was sleeping in or relaxing at home? At the moment 1t seemed unf 'rand nearly unbearable. Sometimes, you may have even wanted to and the mood sw~ngs of team ates. Sports was more than a hobby; it was a lifestyle. Remember the openmg ga e of the season? Your hands shaking, your heart pounding, coach's 'We can do th1s," and the butt rflies in your stomach? Did it feel like the whole world was watc Or maybe JUSt that one Important person who was your cheerleader and support? The whistle the gun shot or the com flew 1 the air, and the competition was on. Remember the face of the menac1ng opponent? D1d they want this as bad as you? Did they grimace when you made the ning shot? Did they sneer when o e the wall by a millisecond? Those moments were what all those painful, early practices were for. At the end of the season, dunng the spaghetti d1nners and banquet d1nners your teams came together for one last gathering of the season. MVPs were honored, athletes recogmzed for what they achieved, coaches thanked, and the funny memories of the season were recalled. The pre-season pract1ces seemed hke a hazy dream by that time. The early morning practices and the stomach butterfhes were gone and more than ever they seemed worth it because the memones of the season ..... ... ... .. ��band, to g your feet. Hundreds of students, staff, and parents gather together to watch the clashing of helmets and to pray for a win. Captain Paul Browning (12), who has been on the varsity team all four years of his high school career, commented, "Football, its cool, its just you have to be a leader. You have to realize that your dec1s1ons are based off of what the team needs, and not off of your individual needs." At the start of the game all forty five players, and all seven coaches head out to the field, they take a knee and listen to Coach Bolin for the beginning of the game prayer. Nick Salazar (12) commented on being out because of an 1njury and said, "It really sucked, and it sometimes got depressing because it was like you missed all the fun, all the playing time, and all the team mates that have turned into friends. And then when the team makes a touchdown, and your playing, it feels amazing because you're apart of it, but when your on the side you get kind of mad because you can't play, and I was out for about two games so another lineman had to take my place." The boys started weight lifting 1n June-July, then came camp in August and then there was the actual mandatory practices. The new coach, Scott Bolin, made sure the boys were in good condition for the season. Through hard work the guys recognized where their strengths and weaknesses were. The boys gave everything that they had, even if it meant getting and injury from it. "Camp was four hours long, and very difficult. But it really helps you prepare for the season," commented Dominic Wilson (12} TaJ Stewart (12} explained, "I like football because you can knock the snot out of someone and not get 1nto trouble for it, but I have gotten a couple 1njunes like a concussion. and I've sprained my MCL and my AC JOint from other guys hitting me." Although they may not have won every game, determination like this could not go unseen. ��m..pc' ned nc.t �At 3:30, C-squad, JV, and Varsity started their day off by Jogging the 100-50 yard line. "Are .... You .....Ready!" Screamed the four core captains, Chris Ashe (11) Paul Browning (12) , Taj Stewart (12) and Isaac McBride (12). "Yeah!" Replied the football players. Football players began their high kicks followed by side lunges for stretches (which their four core captains led). "All right, Let's get to work," yells Coach Bolin. Usually, JV practiced with Varsity on the far right s1de of the field behind Foster Stadium. C-squad practiced on the field closest to Bowers gym. Both teams, began with hitting drills for 20 min., then w~nt into 7-on-7 plays were 7 defense guys would go against 7 offense guys. "Our season has been very tiring w1th practice after practice, but we've continued to work diligently to win every game. Since we only have four games a season, slacking is absolutely not an option for us. Playing on JV is a lot less intense and aggressive than playing on Varsity but we all still have potential to play on Varsity", expressed receiver, Justin Cook (11). This was the first year in four years that Widefield had a JV team. It gives players a chance to express their talents and skills on the field, who don't get the opportun1ty to play during Varsity games. C-squads transformation from a Jr. High school to high school broadened their eyes completely. "Playing on a high school team involves more intensity, strategy and technique than playing on a Jr. High team. We have the capability of having a winning season if we continue to stay focused and play to the best of our abilities", mentions EliJah Christy (9). "Gladiators Mount Up", screamed quarterback Carlos Bowdre (9) . Before starting a game both teams said a pray lead by their coach , asking God to bless them to have a safe and winning game The night before a game, JV got together with Varsity at Coach Bolin's house to have a pre game dinner. C-squad got together after a game and hung out at each others' houses. Both JV and C-squad showed that hard work and dedication paid off for them when they win games. .,J ,.!l...~ll"'.i.:.~ 1 J 'JOIIt \'cu tl\ t< qct a dl'ink of "'ate tl "'ttler cudd, dnmUJ b..'('(l); tunc. tl?C "· • t'Ont �c '--- The girls had a wonderful season. They left their blood sweat and tears out on the field. They put their heart and soul into everything that they did. You could always feel the adrenaline from the girls when they were out on the field. "Whenever your in the last inning and the score is tide you have a huge adrenaline rush!" commented Anatasha List (11 ). The foundation for every successful season was practice. Practices were held five days a week if there weren't games and consisted of running laps, warm ups including throwing and hitting off the pitcher. Practices were hard; but fun many of the girls said. "The coolest thing about practice is that we get to blast music while were practicing" announced Jordan Lee (12). The most important reason for practice was preparation for the games. Of course in softball there are different positions and things that all the girls do to help unite as one team. Maylassa Taves (12) shares "I only run the bases, because I'm the fastest runner on the team and I'm smart on the bases." In the end there is only one thing that is on the players mind besides having fun. And that is to win. To win, but win while having good sportsmanship, if the girls knew nothing else that would be it. The softball season of 09' was tremendously excellent. All of the girls said they owed it to coach Foltz because he pushed them to their fullest potential. "We owe this season to him" shouted the girls. �team 93 �~:M~~~~,~ V and C-Squad Girls Softball Captain Alison Hofmeister (11) explains "I've been play1ng for nine years. I hope to play for varsity next year. We are definitely a team that plays well together." The team always had their moments, but when it came to playing the game they put their differences aside and played as hard as they could. Denise Schumacher (9) pointed out "This is my tenth year playing and plan to play all four years of high school and in college. Many of the team mentioned they all had a blast playing on the team. This was one of their best years . Micaela Werner(1 O)reveals " I have been playing since I was five. I would like to go to UCCS and play for them." Captain Alex LaMere( 11) explains " I've been playing for six years. At times we can have our moments, but most of the time we play well together." "The season was intense. The team worked by cheering each other on," explained Jessica Wilson. "The team acted like a family, and they encouraged each other to do their best." The season started with the team teaching young ins, then with two days of tryouts. After the teams were picked they started practices right away. l0< [ n IS 'L• Prac ces were everyday after school for about two hours at the Community Center. Practice started by stretching, warm ups, and running. Practices were harder when the girls had to run in the cold and sometimes in the rain. "Our team kept each other's spirits high and ready for the game. We had numerous cheers that we chanted to keep us pump up," stated captain Alexandra LaMere. Even though each person on the team had their own posltion, everyone helped each other to do the position to their best ability. C-Squard girls had a lot of fun and loved being part of something that they were good at. Both teams won more games than they lost. Some would say that playing in the rain and the snow would be hard, but the girls made it look so easy. Alex1s Peck (1 0) explains, "The team was strong with batting and hitting. We may have been just C-Squad, but we all came out everyday and did our best and had fun while we did it. The coaches were amazing and were always there when ever a girl needed them. and ll lllntk f, lll\ ms l111t I< ru t [-.ISC I Cl' f, '"'' l-..U.

"Practices are about two and a half hours long at the beginnmg of the season," commented Heather Fortner (12). After school, the team occupied Bowers Gym unt 5:30 p.m. or later. That time was used to practice footwork dnlls, ball handling, and game situations. When Coach Lough was asked for the teams' record in late September, she explained, ''We are ~ at e1ght and four with seven more games left in the ~season." ~ A typical season lasted 19 games, but the team was usually involved in a district tournament before ~ the season ended. The distnct tournament was a ~ competition between varsity volleyball teams from different districts competing to be the best. There were ten Lady Glads on the Varsity team, seven of which were seniors. Coach Lough pointed out this was an "unusually large" amount of sen1ors. ''There's a lot of seniors on the team but 1t's a good thing because we all know each other pretty well," pointed out captain Cat Fuhs (12). Gab1 Smith (12), Cat Fuhs (12), and Erika Trobiano (12) were all captains and leaders of the team. Gabi Smith expressed," I love being captain. Our job is to get the team ready to play."

All of these traits were required to be successful on the Junior Varsity and CSquad Volleyball teams. Hard work and many hours dedicated to the team were also necessary. Attending practices were mandatory and the only time any players were lost this season was because of unacceptable grades. Practices lasted for about two hours daily, not including some random Saturday practices. Practices involved perfecting setting, spiking, and serving skills. Every player was ultimately responsible for improving themselves, with some help from Coach Butala (JV) and Coach Griebel (C-Squad) . Although the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and C-Squad teams practiced together nine times out of ten, they were very much different. The C-Squad coach concentrated more on serving and skills and the JV coach focused on offense and defense and learning to play more aggressively with the ball. Practice ultimately made the team and players better no matter what skills were being improved. "I love the rush after winning a game and coming out of the locker room with your head held high. You feel so proud!" exclaimed Taylor Hermann (1 0) . The JV team had a fair amount of losses but their heart was the most important part. It was a hard concept for the team to grasp at the beginning of the season but towards the end of the season the team became more of a team . Jodie Roberts (11) recalled, "It was a new and young team but we went on a winning streak towards the end of the season when we started playing like a team ." Losing wasn't at all a fun part for any of the members. Losing a game sometimes resulted in consequences such as running more for practices, angry coaches, or longer practices. Winning games were overall more beneficial for the players. When Serenity Reininger {11 ) was asked what her favorite part of the season was she responded , "I loved winning." ��great try and ·e :·IOIIhellhirtg that 1s more enJoyable we re hke a big cross country family, keeps us together and closer, and makes u work harder to improve," sa1d Dav1d Powers (11) The team had a positive attitude even in the hardest times.

That may sound like a weird thmg to announce to an opponent, but Stephen wasn't professing his love for the guy on the other side of the net. "Love all"' means 0 - 0 in tennis talk. Stephen explained,'The scoring system took me [to learn] to the second game at my freshman year" Other weird and often random calls included Deuce, Add In, Add Out, and Take Two. By the t1me players made it to the Varsity team, they were well-versed in the tennis lingo. By the time most players made it to the top, they had already established strong friendships and camaraderie. Daily practices, long bus rides, pot lucks, and inside Jokes built a strong team with a tight web of tradition and memories. Before the first game against Canyon City on August 24, most of the Varsity players had bleached their ir. Michael Aragon (12) did it, because he thought it would build team spirit, and it seemed to do the tnck. C me game day there was a flock of blonde-headed racket swingers geared up to face the Canon City players. On Fridays, Just1n Roe {11 ), the Cobb brothers, and several other players sported dress pants and ties. It wasn t required to d s up, but they did it to show support for their team and to promote the game that day. Ju m claimed he started the dress clothes tradition. "It shows a level of professionalism; it shows that we are eam.'' One of coach Kahre's biggest rules was: a ball that's ninety-nine percent out is one-hundred percent in. That mean fiat if a ball was close to the out-of-bounds line, and a close call, you still played it. Kahre made sure that th pi ers weren't making calls that were undecidable, so if it looked in or close to in then he anted th to play it. After the team pep talk, each player placed one hand in the middle of the huddle. "One. Two. Three," lead Michael Aragon the team ca tain. ''Widefield" the team sho ted collectively. This was a hidden tacttc to not nly pump the team up, but to also install fear into the other team."lntimidation factor t am shout]" Jesse Dyer (12) explained.

She stomped her feet and clapped her hands to the most popular cheer known to Widefield High. "Working with little kids was fun , they were all energetic and hyped up on sugar" laughed Natash a. PeeWees was a clinic where the cheerleaders invited little people from the elementaries to come and cheer at a varsity football game. They cheered during the quarters and performed at half-time. The Pee-wees had their first cheerleading debut at a freezing Pueblo West football game. Each cheerleader had a total of 10 little girls from all over the district. "I like how much of a family we are, like we're such a close team", commented Kaelynn Roberds (9). The cheerleaders practiced every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from three to five at Widefield Elementary and some days in the small gym. "A challenge would be keeping your temper and holding your tounge and keeping everyone else happy" LeeAnn Diggs (1 0) joked. They all sold food to help pay for their uniforms such as, butter braids for bake sales, and selling frozen foods at schools or stores. PeeWee Cheer camp , and much more events. What was a challange for Coach Bowens while she coached cheerleading? "Finding and keeping more than eight dedicated cheerleaders and finding ways to motivate the crowds and keeping the program" explained Coach Bowens. Varsity's captains were Ariel McQuilliams (12) and Erika Lane (12) and all together they had eight excellent cheerleaders. "Team is where people come together an help the others feel comfortable and be with each other" Ariel McQuilliams (12) explains what her meaning of team is. �Ih qu·ls qatl n· <ll'<: nlll (au h .1u.o;on, (ow h (,ILC k nnd ( <XU.h Gnc lx l f, ' ~< me pep talk. �When the announcement was made, some were shocked. WHS would not have a C-Squad basketball team. The coaches made the agonizing decision after they real ized that there just weren't enough girls who had tried out. This was good news for some girls, though. The girls who would normally have been on C-Squad were moved up to Junior Varsity and Varsity. After the initial adjustment, the girls determined to be the best two teams they could. Tryouts ended, and practices be- gan. A pierc1ng blow from Mr. Mason's whistle began practice at 2:45 Monday through Friday. Shoes squeaked, basketballs pounded on the wooden court, and girls screaming filled Bowers Gym. The Girl Glads practiced for more than two hours, and then many played longer outside of practice. They liked to get 1nto shape and work on their skills. "I always practice at home on my basketball hoop, either alone, with friends or with my dad." explained Eliza Beverly (1 0). The girls dedicated much of their time and effort into their practices. Besides the practices, the games brought a lot of adrenaline for the girls. "Coach Mason's pre-game talks get me concentrated and all pumped up for the game," repliedTazhane McFail (1 0). Whether it was music, pre-game talks, or an earnest prayer, each player had her own tactic to help her get ready for the game. With coaches yelling and the crowd screaming, there could be many distractions. The girls still managed to keep control even during the most intense moment of the game. "The most intense part of the game to me, is the countdown in the last minute m the game and its up to me to make the last shot. That's when my butterflies come," told Kayla Schuerkamp (12). On top of basketball , the girls still had to do homework and even work in some cases. It wasn't easy balancing basketball with all the curve balls that life threw. The coaches had their work cut out for them. Not only did they have to tra1n and encourage, they sometime had to council. "Its' a challenge working with young females, because sometimes they let a lot of outside things 1mpact their success, but I like to get them to believe in themselves," Coach Mason explained. The important thing was that the g1rls did their best and had as much fun as they possibly could. "My favorite part of basketball is making a really big block or taking charge. It shows the other team that you own the floor," commented Haley Fedor (9) . Ro, n Coop<-•Ciwl'ch <II Tm1<•l' :-\1Hl(t"011 110 and 1 cdtCme ~1cf'ml (WJ ���"I can't coach effort!" Even though the boys' basketball season d1dn't beg1n unt1l November 12th, Gladiators began practicing and training long before that. In July, the boys traveled to Golden's School of Mines tor basketball camp. The camp cost only $160 tor a week of invaluable pract1ce, team bu1lding, and training. Robert Pace (1 0) recalled, "It was good tor me." He explained, however, that the camp training was a double-edged sword tor him. When the rest of the boys were trying out tor the team in November, Pace didn't get to join. After summer camp, he had broken his toot. Robert still got to join the team, though it was three weeks into the season. The rest of the team began training while Robert was injured. Coach Johnson opened the gym tor practices starting in October. Then, came tryouts. "It started off pretty rough," admitted Charles Evans (1 0), who transferred to WHS and joined the team this year. "We had to do suicides, run. get conditioned. We had to see how our shot was." The coaches tested the boys in eight drills. Not only was performance evaluated, but the coaches also took grades into consideration. When all was said and done, Coach Johnson kept most of the players who had tried out tor the team. As the season got rolling, JV found themselves getting better as they built teamwork and a relationship with the new coach. They practiced two and a halt hours every school day and sometimes on Saturdays. "I can't coach effort,'' Coach Johnson yelled during prac- tices. He wanted each person to put in his best effort into 1t, and he was serious about it. It he saw a player walking or not try. ing hard, he sent him home. Then there were the games. Each game held significance tor various reasons. Charles Evan's most memorable game was against Sierra. "We almost had them. We were up by three, then all the sudden, Sierra came back. They started outworking us." "After the game, the team went to the locker room, and everybody was mad. We knew we could have won that game," admitted Evans. "My most memorable game would have been the f1rst game I came back. I almost had a double-double. I think I worked hard, because we won that game by like 25 points," he proudly remembered. By the end of the season, the boys did not make it to state, but they had improved enough to be proud of them· selves, of each other, and of their team. Pace reflected on the season, "I think we could make it to state our senior year it the team this year stays together. I think this whole year we worked hard as a team, and it we keep it up during the sum· mer league -" "And don't get lazy and tat," interjected Evans. "We could know what we're going to look tor in the commg season," Pace ended. ��~ BJ ?J v'/ cAance !d sla 1/ dtJe 1 aJ ~ ~ "We defmttely changed this past year. We're faster, our technique is better, and we finally work together as a team,'' recalled Chelsea Lowder (11 ). Thts season was a season of change for the Widefield/ Mesa Ridge Girls' swim team. There were all new coaches, including Coach Griffth as the new diving coach, with new attitudes and coachmg styles. All three of these newcomers were teachers from Mesa Ridge and had previous experience with athletics. "I think the changes with the coaches was good because it helped us learn a new way of practice, instead of the old way, which worked, but this year we became a lot closer," commented Karisa Sabisch (11 ). Team unity came with the new coaching style. The coaches started off the season with a tough attitude, not only about practices and meets, but about grades also. The girls were not allowed to have one "F"; otherwise, they would be ineligible. These new rules and harsher techniques also included longer and more occurring practices. Morning practices became a mandatory event at the beginning of the season. They lasted for an hour long at 6 in the morning and ended in just enough time for the ladies to make it to their school. The morning practices consisted of land drills and the evening practices were all in the water. Laura Hamm (12) stated, " This year has been our best year since I've been on the team. The coaches didn't let us have as much slack, which I think really helped us." Even though to many of the lady swimmers the team became more united quite a few of the ladies left the team throughout the season, but this didn't affect the lady swimmers on their way to many victories with a winning season. �Left: Lull!< lf<Uillll !12) llll1lS 010 fol' 't) Luu< a L.,.=th d11nnq I u· {, pwiiupatcd m t l•c 2l\ medic:> t'Ck) ll\) and 2(\l ft t\ I.e met ,. ..da,, R~ht: Ali<ta ftt:fXllt"k liJ lmtll\q ~' r ( ff tl .

Eventhough our team took first at the Arvada tournament, and went undefeated , 1t went unmentioned that we got first place. "Wrestling is overall the best sport ever. Unfortunately sometimes we don't get the recognition we deserve. I was especially upset when, at a tournament, they didn't bother to mention that we got first," Jun1or Varsity player, Emily Thompson (10) admitted. Other competitions were the two-day tournaments 1n Orum, Utah; Pagosa Springs, Colorado; and Colorado Spnngs (Christmas Tournament) . Varsity player Sean Forbes (12) said, b() "I'm thinking it went pretty alright. We did better than I thought. We won most of ~ our duels, we only lost two. ( Duel tournaments were against another team) Practice started with running for 30-45 minutes, then the wrestlers went up to the mats to do drills and practice take downs/referee positions. After that they do matches with each other for about 50 Q) minutes. Finally, as a cool down they run and go home. "This year the team passed all my ex~ pectations." DJ Hightower (11) remarked. The team also passed Coach Foltz expectations for the season . He said, "The season started off right with 10 dual wins and a tournament championship and has gone fairly wel l. We just hope to finish the way we started." AJ Robb (1 0), Marcus Carda (12) , DJ Hightower (11 ), and Terrel Stanley(11) all went to compete for state. 0 •n 4-l rl +J ,4-l _ t/.l :3 �f <n tmi 1 :q a 11\Ul~~ tic b.

Some JOined a club to have a say in certain events like prom, assemblies, etc. Some students joined to s1mply better our school. They may have filled out an application or they may have been voted in by the1r fellow classmates. The purpose of the club may have been senous or lax. Some clubs con of a bunch of friends meeting at lunch to laugh and master the art of the unicycle. Some cons1sted of setting up fund raisers, collecting money, simply leav1ng a mark on their school, students, or community in a small or sometimes big way. One thing is sure to remain after the bell nngs 1n May for the last t1me that school year the memories created w1thin you're club.
