Congratulations, Class of
Remember: We will always be Sundevils at heart.
enior year has come and gone faster than any other year of my life. It still hasnt hit me that after June 13, 2013, I will be done with high school all together and Im not required to return to this campus ever again. Maybe itll hit me when I walk across the stage and grab my diploma, or maybe itll be a week into summer, or even when Im packing to move into my new dorm room next Fall. The most difcult concept for me to acknowledge is that after next week there is a large possibility that I wont see over 75% of the seniors or staff that I have met through out the years. We are all going to be in different places next year and experiencing different things. No one knows whats coming up for us after graduation, who well meet or what well do. One thing I know for sure is that I will never forget the past four years that I have spent at Mt. Carmel High School. These four years have shaped me as a person and I know they have done the same for most of the class of 2013. My rst few steps that I took at Mt. Carmel freshman year back in 2009 were so overwhelming. Walking on this huge campus as a nave little freshman was a scary day but it was also one of the best days ever. I was now a big bad high schooler with so many more opportunities laid out in front of me. The rst Welcome Back Pep Rally that we attended as freshman was probably one of the coolest things at the time. We were sitting across from all the upperclassmen who were so much older and wiser than we were. Its weird to think that we are those older wiser seniors now. The campus that used to seem so huge is now as familiar as the back of our hands because weve walked it endless amounts of times while procrastinating on going back to our classes. Teachers that used to be extremely intimidating and fear provoking are more like friendly mentors now. The class of 2013 got to experience Mt. Carmel at its best, right after the remodel, and we made the campus ours. Together, as a class, we all completed high

Drug bust rocks Poway Uni ed

ALEXA MAUZY LEWIS EMMA GLASSMAN HUGHES ENTERTAINMENT AND FEATURES EDITORS In reaction to an increased number of drug abuses and overdoses involving high school students, The San Diego Sheriff s Departments initiated a year-long undercover operation dubbed Operation A Team comprising three county school districts, including Poway Unied. Over the course of the investigation, three San Diego County Deputy Sheriffs posed as students at Poway, Mission Hills, Abraxas, and Ramona High Schools. The undercover deputies were able to buy drugs at each high school campus, with the exception of Abraxas. The deputies also gained leads about the use of narcotics off campus, especially the recreational use of marijuana and prescription drugs at parties. The types of drugs purchased during the operation included marijuana, heroin, cocaine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone. The Narcotics Task Force (NTF), the North County Regional Gang Task Force (NGRGTF) and Deputy Sheriffs from the Poway, San Marcos, and Ramona Commands served arrest warrants for the sale of narcotics. 19 arrest warrants were issued as a result of this investigation. Nine of these arrests were for current and former students, while the remaining 10 were served to adults who sold drugs to the undercover deputies. Locally, one male juvenile at MC and two male juveniles from Poway High school were among those arrested on campus during school hours. Sheriff Bill Gore explained the impact this investigation will have on the future use of illegal narcotics in high schools. Operation A Team has provided intelligence on larger drug suppliers in the area, Gore said. The San Diego County Sheriff s Department and NTF are pursuing these leads and will continue the investigation. The take away from today is this: If you want to buy illegal drugs, you very well could be talking to a deputy sheriff. The undercover Deputy Sheriffs will not be identied, however, each has an average of 2.5 years with the department and participated in a two month undercover training program. Poway Unied has taken a comprehensive approach to addressing substance abuse through a Drug and Alcohol Task Force formed by Superintendent John Collins last year. Poway Unied School District Board President Marc Davis commended the efforts of law enforcement in our community. Unfortunately the ndings of this District Task Force conrm that the arrests that took place today could happen in just about any community across the country, Davis Said. This is a nationwide societal problem and is not unique to one school or community. In Poway Unied, we will continue our efforts to protect our students from the dangers of illegal drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Only Superintendent Collins was informed of the operation taking place in the Poway Unied School District. Principals and teachers of the various high schools were unaware of the placement of undercover deputies. Poway Perspective Poway High School Principal Scott Fisher has kept a very positive attitude about the situation that he has dealt with on campus. I felt kind of happy about the news, Fisher said of the bust. I did not know about the undercover cops, but that didnt bother me. I think making sure our campuses are safe is important. If my boss has a way to go about that, then I respect it. It was a successful operation. Many have wondered whether Fisher worries about Poways high-standing reputation being tarnished from the uncovering of drug use on campus, but Fisher has a different perspective. These kinds of [busts] make people wonder if theyre a good thing or a bad thing, Fisher said. Is it good that they arrested somebody? Or is it bad that they arrested somebody? Does it mean that [police] arent doing their job if they only arrested one kid? Or is that a bad thing that anyone at all is using drugs on campus? I believe that drugs and other substances remain critical issues on all

school overcoming some extremely testing obstacles, like our rst set of speeches as freshman, swim PE, and even the junior paper. These four years have made us comfortable with each other as a class and we all learned a lot about each other. We have ended our time at MC on a high note, going away with quite a few CIF championships under our belt and probably the best prom this school has ever seen. These students that have been here for the past four years are an interesting bunch of kids to say the least. We have all grown as a class and as students and there is no doubt that it shows. I am positive that without these four years none of us would be able to survive in the real world. As much as we all hate to admit it, we really did learn a lot from the staff and students here at MC. As we bid each other good-bye in these last few days it is important to remember that we will always be Sundevils no matter where we end up in the next few years and that Its great to be a Sundevil.

of our campuses, from Poway High, to Mt. Carmel, to Cleveland, Ohio, probably in Europe, and probably in the Far East; its an issue all across the world. Im under the belief that too many people want to point ngers at other people and say, Theyre the problem, instead of saying, Why dont we all gather and support kids, work with kids, and tackle the issue together? Despite his optimistic reaction to the bust itself, Fisher feels less optimistic about the future of drug use, unless the community takes a more active part in preventing it. Unless kids and adults do proactive things to try to address the issue, its not going to change by accident, Fisher said. Parents have to work with their kids; they have to talk and communicate with each other. I also think divorced homes put an added pressure on kids. There are pressures on kids today where they think drugs and alcohol are the only solutions. Parents have to supervise better and work with their kids. Its complicated out there. MC Perspective MC Principal Dawn Kastner found that she was satised being kept out of the loop of the Operation A Team. I think Im kind of glad [to have been unaware of the operation], Kastner said. Dr. Collins did a really good job with the way he handled this situation. Kastner has learned to understand the drug culture among teenagers over her years as an administrator. Shes worked at all variations of high schools, from generally higher income schools like MC and Westview, to lower income, continuation high schools. From these differing locations, she has learned a lot about the patterns of teenage drug abuse. Ive been in education for 34 years, Kastner said. I dont think [the drug issue] is worse, but I dont think its better. It changes depending on where you are and whats in style. I see drugs coming in now that havent been popular for a while, and I see new drugs getting invented because theres a whole thing where [people] keep inventing new drugs to stay a step ahead of the law. What was kind of weird coming down [to PUSD] was the difference between the kinds of drugs kids at Westview could

afford compared to the ones the kids at A.B. Miller could afford. It was different. But, depending on what school youre at, you hear different rumors, like this school is where all the drugs are at. But no, theyre everywhere. Although she does acknowledge that drugs seem to be a part of teenage culture, Kastner agrees with Fishers perspective about the necessity for a team effort to combat the onslaught of teenage drug use. She believes operations like Operation A Team are critical to curbing the drug issue, but she also believes that bigger roles must be played outside of school, as well. We need to inform parents, Kastner said about the issue. We cant do it ourselves, and parents need to really watch their kids. When parents say, I trust your judgment, to their children, things change. This relationship is vital. But you cant teach people how to be parents. There are still many unanswered questions, however, about how society can truly end dangerous teenage drug activity, and even Principal Kastner nds herself wondering about it. The challenge is, and I dont know the answer to this, but how do you get kids to not do drugs? Kastner said. How do you get kids to get it--that this isnt just partying and that its okay? Every year Im going to funerals, or hospitals, or seeing kids who were A or B students all of a sudden watching their grades plummet, while there are little pot leaves all over their notebooks, and they just want to hang out with people who are taking them down a really bad path. I dont think anyone has ever gured that out. I just care so much about these kids, and I just want to say... There are so many ways to be having fun other than using drugs and alcohol.

Principal Kastner and Coach Jolk move forward, maintain Sundevil mentalities
MARIANNA MCMURDOCK STAFF WRITER
As another school year dims to a close, students and staff are called to say goodbye to seniors. This year, some major faculty members. Principal Dawn Kastner is leaving to care for her mother who will be moving to San Diego just before the year ends and is among those not returning next fall. Im just getting to the point where Im realizing I probably need a little more balance and have more time for my family, Kastner said. Its a tough call but I know for my family its the right decision. Kastner recalls rst feeling at home at MC almost immediately after transferring from Westview in the winter of 2011. She attributes this to the people, both students and faculty, and their irreplaceable spirits. They make me laugh, they make me proud, they just amaze me sometimes, she said. Im out there talking to kids, or listening to the choir, or watching the baseball [team] just thinking Oh my gosh, how can I do this? I just really love this school. Coach Gary Jolk agrees that he too will miss the people and the invigorating atmosphere they create the most once he leaves for the rst time since 1975. You dont stay at one place for 38 years unless you get to be around great people, Jolk said. Honors Humanities and British Literature teacher Scott Currie recalls rst meeting Kastner and dismissing his original feelings of disappointment, as the district passed up VPs Magno and Garrett and gave Kastner the position. Her rst day on campus, she came to a Friendship Club meeting and I introduced her to every single one of the students with special needs. She treated all of them like a real, worthy individual and Id never, ever seen that from any other principal here, Currie said. It really impressed me and made me realize that they picked a keeper for us. She was the pick of the litter, of all the [other principals] Ive ever worked for, shes been my favorite. In just two short years, Kastner has been a huge participant of extra-curricular activities all over campus and overseen the construction of a new parking lot as well as the installation of brand new computers around campus. She has high hopes for her replacement, and mainly wishes that whoever they are, they appreciate the rarity of MC and its personality. In her words, somebody that will love this school the way it deserves to be loved. This rare spirit can be found in Coach Jolk, who is retiring after this school year to hang out with Coach Johnson, and also put family rst in his decision. I taught longer that I thought I would, because I wanted to be there if my daughter [Glenn Anne Jolk, 11] needed me, Jolk said. Coach Jolk will no doubt leave behind the legacy and inspiration his own football coach left on him. I became a teacher because of the impact my high school football coach had on my life, Jolk said. He taught me to work hard and to always give an honest effort in everything you do. And with a nal adieu from MCs current principal, It really is great to be a Sundevil, I know it sounds like a clich because we say it so much but I didnt spend most of my career in this district. I didnt even know they had schools like this, I dont think people realize how lucky they are, Kastner said.

90s television
MODERN DAY TELEVISION
DANIELLE LEDGERWOOD STAFF WRITER
Let me tell you straight up: as much as I love Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Ross, Phoebe, and Joey, the other TV shows in the 90s were not all that great. Plus, I didnt even start watching Friends until late 2012. When I was four, Catdog was hilarious. So was Rugrats. But going back now and watching them for old times sake just gives me the creeps. What was the appeal of a bunch of talking babies? A cat and a dog joined together at the stomach? What were those writers smoking? The shows in the 90s lacked plot, as well as overall character development. The characters started and ended a series as basically the same person. I like change. One of the only reasons I watch TV is to go on these amazing journeys of transformation with my favorite characters, like Jimmy Collins from Smash. He started off the beginning of this season as a no good, dirty rotten punk, and at the end, he is a loving, caring man trying to be the best he can be for the woman he loves. For many characters, a television series is like a journey. They wander around, learning along the way, and when its over, they realize that the person theyve become is a lot different than how they started out. There is a reason why I watch too much TV. Its because slowly and stealthily the small, cheesy shows that seem like a dumb concept with a stupid cast wiggle their way into my heart, and I cant let them go. In addition, the quality of some of these shows is almost like that of a movie, unlike many of the sitcoms from the 90s. The plot, costumes, set, lighting, and overall theme of todays shows could possibly pass for lm. Another thing that draws me (and millions of people everywhere) to television shows nowadays is heroes. People like it when the good guys win. Whether its Revolution, or Burn Notice, people will tune in to see the underdog kick some villains butt. Even though television is one of the laziest pastimes Americans enjoy (and its managed to turn the term marathon into something that means the opposite of strenuous physical exercise) it still lives on. Yes, I was born in 1996. Yes, I left the era of 90s television at four years old. But I can decipher now that modern television has surpassed the preceding two decades of TV by far.

While some consider 90s television to be the epitomy of great TV, some argue that modern day television outshines that of the previous decade. The MC Sun explores the controversal topic over which era of television is truly the best.

90s shows all the rage
SARAH BRIGGS OPINIONS EDITOR
I was born in 1995, and as everyone should know the 90s television shows such as Hey Arnold and Rugrats that morphed the lives of kids like me are the best television shows ever produced. The epic argument over whether shows nowadays are as great as shows from the 90s is a pointless argument because fact of the matter is, 90s television remains innitely better! I was there when The Fresh Prince roamed the streets of BelAir and I watched the Olsen Twins grow up as in the famous show Full House. Fast forward to now, if someone turns on Disney Channel or Nick at Nite, their television screens would buzz with the dribble of shows such as A.N.T Farm and Dog with a Blog. I mean how does that even compares to the original episodes of SpongeBob Square Pants and CatDog? 90s shows possess this sense of nostalgia that current day television will never harness. They signify the young years of childhood and a prosperous decade of television. I mean who can honestly deny that shows like Friends, That 70s Show, and Dawsons Creek are the best shows ever made. Honestly I feel bad for the children sitting at home watching iCarly and Big Time Rush. Shows like these signify the teenage and adolescent anxiety while at the same time shoving a moral lesson and an unoriginal plot line down your throat. What makes 90s television so fantastic is that it relatable. The children portrayed in shows from that decade arent dressed to look ten years older than they are and the shows dont go hand in hand with a pointless life lesson. 90s television remains incandescent in todays world. It is the shining beacon on humanitys television screens that outshines modern television. Modern day TV with its unoriginal plot lines, horrible acting, and pointless life lessons is a sad excuse for entertainment. Television from the 90s is still prominent in the lifes of modern day Americans who were shaped by this great era of programming.

New beginnings and the long goodbye

AWKWARD TURTLE
Im obsessed with The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling is my hero, I have a Twilight Zone keychain and calendar, and my birthdays coming up, so anyone who gives me the complete series on DVD with commentarywill be my new best friend. I know that seems to be apropos of nothing, but bear with me for a sec. Theres this one episode, Time Enough At Last, that follows a man who dreads his job and the people in his life, but quickly realizes that the alternative is not as desirable as he initially thought. Like most seniors I mentally checked out of high school a long time ago (RE: the Senioritis column), and Im pretty stoked to leave. However, I know that there are more things about MC that Ill miss than Im able to see right now. I have relatively delayed emotional reactions to big, lifechanging moments; Id like to think that graduating high school is one of those moments. There might be tears at graduation, there might not be, but I know that I denitely will not feel or comprehend the gravity of this situation for a long time. My chapter at MC will nish shortly, but just as quickly, another will begin. Eighth graders will become freshman, freshman to sophomores, and so on and so forth. To the underclassmen, this is just the beginning of your chapter. Therefore, whether you like it or not, heres some advice from someone whos been there. Youll be nervous at freshman orientation. You may know a few people from middle school, or you may not know anyone,

but be nice and friendly to everyone you meet anyway. Just like you, theyre all awkward and anxious and excited, so try and overcome your own natural self-consciousness and make friends. Theyll be very useful to you during the next four years, I promise. Freshman year will probably be just as easy or difcult as middle school was for you, regardless of whether or not youre on the honors track. The relatively laid-back tone of this year compared to the four others is wonderful because it gives you time to become more comfortable in your own skin and on campus. I gured this is just as good a place as any to mention clubs. Join them. Especially as a freshman, you should start getting involved though you should join and/or start a club at any point over the next four years if you nd something that interests you. I solemnly swear you will never regret it. Even the clubs I briey attended but didnt stick with taught me a little something about other people at school, and I had interesting conversations with people that I would have never had unprompted. Right now, your friends might think they are too cool for clubsat least that was the predominant attitude at my middle schoolbut at MC, its uncool not to be involved. Sophomore year will probably suck because that year will be the time when High School looks at you and cackles, Oh, you thought this would be easy? MUAHAHAHA. Academically, this year will be signicantly more challenging. By now, most of you will have some sort of extracurricular activity(-ies) youre committed to outside of class, so theyll be a bit of a balancing act. This is also the rst year that matters for colleges, which is fabulous because for most of you, it will be the rst year you screw up royally in school. Due to my ill feelings towards memories of my own sophomore year, I dont really

have much more to say here, except good luck. Junior year is much harder than sophomore year (the junior paper will kill you; it will literally murder you repeatedly and rob you of all the joy in life). But its way more fun. I know that sounds strange, but even though my junior year kicked my ass, I dont think Ive learned more about myself in any other year of school. This is probably the rst year where I struggled in school and actually learned from it (I learn the hard way, evidently). Youll have the SAT/ACTs, and more college pressure than ever, but you will become a better, more mature, and humbled person from all of it. Sometime during high school, someone will capture your heart, and then just as quickly, that person will break it coldly and cruelly. Remember when I said your friends will be useful to you? This would be one of those times. Your friends will listen to you bitch and moan about your broken heartloooong after you shouldve gotten over itand they will still want to be your friend. It will be times like this when you realize your best friend is the person you want to be when you grow up. Senior year will be a blur. Everything, from college apps to prom, will go by so quickly you wont know where all the time went. And for many of you, like me, it will be hard to truly understand how much is changing. And it will continue to change, as the one constant in life is change. Once upon a time, we were eighth graders. And now were seniors, about to graduate high school, and then the possibilities will be endless. Class of 2013, its been a wild ride. And it wouldve been even crazier if I didnt have my fellow Sundevilsstudents and staff alikeby my side the whole time. Though everything is changing right now, we all know in our heartsonce a Sundevil, always a Sundevil.

I still vividly remember the rst class period of my rst day of high school. I had Honors English with Mr. Pacilio and I remember walking in very nervous because I didnt know anyone in the class. I sat next to this sweet-looking girl who seemed shy and in need of a friend, so I introduced myself, and I thought things were going great, until I walked in the next day to see that she had moved desks across the room to sit with someone else. This was my rst ofcial high school heartbreak. Some people nd it easy to criticize high school and to say that they hated all their classmates and didnt learn a thing. People think high school is too awkward and uncomfortable. And frankly, I agreed with a lot of that until recently. Now that my time in high school has come to an end, I nd myself oddly appreciative of all the quintessentially terrible aspects of high school. Im thankful for all the awkward conversations and the uncomfortable rejections. Im thankful for all the kids Ive met who have troubling pasts and dark secrets. Im thankful for every time I raised my hand in class and got an answer wrong. Im thankful for every time Ive wanted to scream at my peers, my teachers, and my administration. Im thankful for every ght Ive had with parents. Im thankful for everyone who thought I was strange for being the only sober kid at the party. And Im most thankful for the girl who switched seats on me those long four years ago. That moment epitomizes the high school experience and the real purpose of high school: the purpose is to learn to be resilientto learn to bounce back from uncomfortable situations, for which high school is an infamous breeding ground. These past years have taught us to take the risk of putting ourselves out there to meet someone new, knowing fullwell that tomorrow they may switch seats on you, but having the courage to do it anyway. You see, high school may not have taught me how to nd the surface area of a pyramid, but it has taught me the formula for how to nd myself in my four years here. And thats why Im thankful for these things--theyve built me up to where I am today, and they have strengthened my resolve. They have made me see that outside of the MC campus, theres a whole world waiting for all of us, and that were not all going to thrive. Those of us who will, however, will be the ones who learned to nd a sense of inward purpose and conviction from high school. Freshman year I wasnt able or willing to look beyond my 2,000 peers. I assumed everyone would be my friend and that I wouldnt have to deal with the discomfort of rejection. I leave now as a condent and capable young woman who is ready to tackle a world full of rejection. For this, I have my time at Mt. Carmel to thank.

What a long, strange trip its been.

DANIELLE DAMPER EDITOR IN CHIEF
Ive been trying to write this lead in for at least an hour trying to aptly describe what the newspaper is to me. To me, the newspaper is the sound of typing on a keyboard, late nights and empty pizza boxes strewn about carelessly. The newspaper is the crusty, ratchet couch in the corner that eats cell phones and is the prime location for bitching about life and college apps with the rest of the seniors. I first joined newspaper as a freshman, incredibly intimidated by how smart and commanding the senior editors were. I volunteered for everything, not because I wanted to do it, but because I couldnt refuse when the stared me down. Eventually, I stopped being afraid of them, and as I continued to work, I saw the newspaper for what it really is, a huge, highly dysfunctional family. We attract perhaps the strangest cross section of people on campus. The only thing our motley crew really has in common is our love for The SUN. The newspaper staff consists of the warmest and most welcoming people Ive ever known, even when were bickering. Because were all so different, every day brings a new surprise. We have so many competing ideas and fields of expertise that we can spend hours arguing about anything from politics to pica spaces. In trying to think of my favorite moment in newspaper I honestly cannot pick. The people are so fun and random and crazy and passionate about so many different things that truly every day is memorable. I cant write about the newspaper without thinking of Churro and his obsession with rolly chairs, Calver and his vegan lifestyle, or the antics of the new Wondertwins in town: Mari and Tia (a position previously held by myself and Emma, who, thanks to newspaper, is one of my best friends), and, of course, David Pus Pulosophy. Then theres all of the memories we have at conventions, from Seattle to Texas to San Francisco, where we have more Sw@qq than any other newspaper staffs weve ever met. Even press nights, as horrid as they are, are the best thing that comes out of newspaper. They bring out the best and the worst in us, and even when I want to kill the staff, the press nights are what really bond us together. To the seniors, I have a special shout out. For the past four years you have been my closest friends, and I cannot believe it is all over. From the insanity of press nights to Anelina Jolies right leg, to hippie in-the-grass picnics, I thank you for being able to deal with my craziness better than anyone else. For the underclassmen, Im so proud of the progress youve made as journalists and Im excited for the years to come. Looking back, its been a crazy journey and Im incredibly proud of what weve all been able to do together; thanks to you all. The SUN shines bright everywhere.

Thank you all.

JESSICA HONG EDITOR IN CHIEF
Congrats on getting through 2013! Thank you so, so much for making our newspaper everything it is. Editing the SUN has been a great privilege, and filling the pages with your names, your stories, and your faces has made these the best four years of my life. Thank you for starring in our articles and for reading them. It has been an honor serving as your 2013 co-editor. A pang of shock mixed with a bit of sadness accompanies these last few days. Seniors, we did it. High school graduation marks the official end of childhood and the beginning of adulthoodwhatever that means. Most of us dont really know. Sure, we can drive. We can see rated R movies, buy lottery tickets, and smoke cigarettes. Some of us do our own laundry. Some can cook. But none of us are prepared to exchange San Diego and our friends, families, and homes for cities where nobody knows our names. The prospect is both greatly empowering and horribly crippling. Were on the verge of reinventing ourselves. We can become whoever we always wanted to be, without 18 years of baggage to carry. But were also afraid of leaving the things we love behind. We wonder if our friends, our inside jokes, our favorite frozen yogurt places and TV shows will matter at all in college. Were hoping that the friends we make in college and the cities we learn to love will make up for what we left behind. Reflecting on the past four years, I cant say Ill remember what pyruvate does in the Krebs cycle or what Donnes Holy Sonnet 14 is about. In ten years, acid-base reactions will only be a vague, nightmarish memory. But I will remember Mr. Curries silly gang signs and Ms. Ts sarcastic wit. I wont remember how to dance the Charleston, but I will remember how much fun APEL was. Ill remember the velocity with which Lord Raskins noodle whacks student heads and the accuracy with which Mr. Hizal slings monkeys. Ill remember scaling boulders at AP Bio camp and sinking in the pool during the physics boats Battle Royale. Ill remember the AP Chem class that set off the fire alarm and Mr. Matsons bridge tournament. Though I might not remember everything from high school, Ill remember how phenomenal MC and its students, teachers, and staff are. The people here are exceptionally friendly and engaging. And beyond academics, theyve given me a family. Id like to offer the senior class a few words: rise to the challenge. Weve conquered high school with flying colors, but the race isnt over. Wherever it may becollege, vocational school, or worka rocky road awaits. Challenge yourself to work harder, play harder, and laugh harder. Finally, heres to the SUN staff. You guys have given me more than you could ever know. When I watch you guys work on the paper, I see everything I loved when I joined the SUN staff freshman year. I hope that by the time you graduate, this newspaper will have given you everything it has given me and morea passion for journalism, a crazy family, SUN pride, and a burning hatred for the Nexus (WVs newspaper). Always remember, when youre tearing your hair out and laying on the ground on a 10 pm press night because InDesign is frozen for the 100th time, the SUN shines bright on you. And Ctrl + S like your life depends on it. Because it does.

I feel like we did great, its been my best season in my four years and our teams best season since I can remember, senior Alec Spencer said. It was a lot of fun. Adding to the teams success was when they shot the lowest score of the season, a 194, which was the lowest the team has scored in quite a while. There wasnt really just one moment, just playing with the team, senior Erik Hetzel said. It was a fun season, and we were all cool with each other, so it was great. season as one of great improvement. The MCHS varsity team was really victorious no matter what the score, LT said. Our score was 201 to 218 and the other schools started at a 222 and stayed at a 222. For us our improvement was so huge even if we didnt place rst we still won in our hearts.

The Boys Varsity Sundevil Baseball team rejoice over their CIF championship victory against Southwest on May 31, 2013. After falling behind 1-3 in the sixth inning, the Sundevils were able to rebound with a score of 4-3 and win.
it was a tough season for all of us, Hnat said. I tried to keep my head up for this upcoming season and I just kept telling myself that its a new season After a long journey full of frustration and and we can only work hard and do our best. doubt, MC varsity baseball was able to accomplish Overall, the Sundevils went 1-14 in league, their number one goal and mission: winning the with one win against Canyon Crest Academy. Many CIF championship game. people had little faith in the Sundevils baseball After going undefeated in playoffs with a team, not even sure if they would make it into record of 5-0, the boys could not be more proud playoffs. But this never phased the baseball players of themselves and the hard work they put into this even the slightest bit. season. We knew that the teams we would be playing Senior Andrew Hnat, who has in league were going been one of the starting pitchers for the to be much tougher baseball team, is especially proud of the because most of them hard work and dedication the team has This year really showed are in Division I, senior put in. Kenny Pyle said. Our This year really showed how much how much passion our pitching staff did really passion our team has and that everyone team has... well in league. But what is out there because they want to be out really hurt us was our there, not just to fool around, he said. -Andrew Hnat (12) hitting and ability to get on base and put some After a tough season last year and runs on the board. the year before, I think we all wanted According to Pyle, to set a better tone from the previous the boys con dence went downhill from facing seasons and a better example for the seasons in the future. the harder teams in league, but they knew that Two years ago, MC baseball went 0-28 and competing against some of the best teams in the last year the boys were only able to improve by nation would only make them better as players and four wins on their overall season record.

I was a relief pitcher for the team last year and Park.

RACHEL PETERS STAFF WRITER

Both our team and the other team werent really hitting that well in the rst few innings of the game, another one of MCs starting pitchers, senior Paul McDermott said. The only good hit the other team had was when the rst batter of the game hit a home run off of our pitcher. After that, we scored a run and it was tied 1-1 until the 11th inning. The boys were able to keep Castle Park down to only one run, and in their last at bats, MC opened it up and put two more runs on the board giving them the win of 3-1. After getting themselves to the nal championship game, the boys were bound and determined to get one nal win that would give them the title of CIF champions. We started off really slow in the beginning of the game, McDermott said. No one was hitting very well and if we had someone on base, no one hit them in. In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Sundevils were trailing Southwest by two runs with a score of 3-1. Within only minutes of that inning, junior Nick Romano, sophomore Brody Prows, and senior Kenny Pyle put together a string of several key hits to give them the win with a score of 4-3. After 17 years, the MC Varsity baseball team are CIF champs again. It was the best feeling in the world, McDermott said. To know that we just proved all of the people who doubted us in the beginning wrong.

MCs Girls varsity softball has achieved their goal of making it to CIF this spring season. They nished the season with a 12-15 overall record. After defeating Valhalla High School, they were entered into the CIF bracket. They then lost to both Bonita Vista and their main rival, Westview. Though the Westview game was their most anticipated for the season, the experience taught them that sometimes there are more rewarding experiences than winning.

Softball

With victories against Rancho Bernardo and Canyon Crest Academy, the volleyball team concluded their league season with a record of 2-8. From there they continued onto CIFs where they earned their victory against Hilltop High School in the rst round, before eventually losing to Westview in the quarter nals. While the league record indicates a rough season, Malta is generally pleased with the teams performance and the teams current composition. I like this group of kids, Malta said. They have good camaraderie and work very well as a team, compared with last year where it was more individual-based. Also, were very young [we have two sophomores], and we still made it to the same round of CIFs as we did last year.

Boys Volleyball

After an overall season standing of 1-9 in league games, MC boys tennis made it to CIF. The team went to quarter-nals, but lost to Canyon Crest Academy 6-12. While this match against CCA was a huge improvement from the teams previous matches against CCA where only one or two sets were won, coach Jim Wrage seeks to get the team to practice more in the off-season in order to be a more competitive team. I really hope we can get more guys in club or year-round tennis for next year, Wrage said. We dont want to be too easy for other schools; we want to win.

Boys Tennis

This years track and eld season has wrapped up, and has been lled with broken records and personal bests. Those who set records include: Kyle Pater, Sabrina Seay, and the varsity boys 4x400 team, who broke the 12 year-old school record. At the League Finals on May 10, seven athletes earned the title of League Champion. The CIF San Diego Finals was on May 25 at MC, where many Sundevil athletes placed and advanced to the CIF State Championships, which was held on June 1 at Buchanan High School. Ten MC students competed in eight different events, and many placed. This included the boys 4x100 relay team, Alexis Hernandez for the 400 meter, Jared Senese for the 800 meter, and many more.

Boys Lacrosse reaches CIF for rst time, competes against Patrick Henry High during quarter nals
DANIELLE LEDGERWOOD STAFF WRITER
When the boys lacrosse team chose a That 70s Show parody for their pep rally video, it seemed to most of the school that the season would correlate. However, the lacrosse team strived to excel in ways that were previouslty unheard of, leaving them quite condent about the seasons end. Senior Ben Harris believes that the seasons success is partially accredidted to the fun he had with his teammates. The season as a whole was awesome, Harris said. The guys on the team really made it fun. In previous years, the team has felt they did not live up to their own expectations. However, with a change in leagues and a strong group of seniors, they felt like they nally had the opportunity to go further than ever before. Weve never really done well enough to make the playoffs in the past, Harris said. The league was switched at the beginning of the year so we knew we nally had a chance to make it. Having an almost balanced record of 8-11 in the regular season,this season they didnt need a win to get into CIF playoffs. We didnt defeat anyone to get into the playoffs, athletic director Randy Wright said. A committee seeded us in the top 12 teams of Division II. Of course, most of the team felt that the best part of the journey was making it to (and beyond) the rst round. The highlight of the season was denitely making CIFs, senior Tanner Bolin said, Especially since it was the rst time in MC history. The boys defeated Mt. Miguel on the road to advance into the second round of playoffs into the quarternal match against Patrick Henry. We were ecstatic after winning the rst CIF game, Harris said. We were shocked, but very happy. After all the excitement of the rst round win wore off, the team faced Patrick Henry. Altough they lost, the team hopes their own successes will serve as an inspiration for the 2014 season and beyond. I just encourage the returning guys next year to keep the momentum, play in the off season, and always keep improving. Harris said. Founded in 2005, the lacrosse team hopes to continue gaining momentum as the team contunues to become more and more established on campus. I am personally looking for our team to continue its growth competitively under the inuence of our dedicated coaches, Wright said. We need to continue our pursuit of the CIFs pillar of Victory with Honor.

The MCHS varsity gymnastics season could be described as challenging, uplifting and a roller coaster and one that will always be remembered. The team won leagues with a score of 217.275 and there season score was .They made it to the CIF nals with a score of 217.375 where they fell behind LCC, West Hills and Del Norte. Their toughest competitor throughout the season would have to be La Costa Canyon because they have a strong team with a lot of good allaround members that score high. Gymnastics coach Monique Lamphiere-Tamayoshi describes the

The MC Swim and Dive team nally reached the end of their season after many victories and a CIF title. The boys Swim and Dive team had a record of 8-0 throughout their whole season. They continued their perfect record by winning CIFs and bringing back a new banner. The girls Swim and Dive team maintained a record of 4-4 throughout their meets. They placed in second at CIFs. The team members all agreed that it had been a fun season and are looking forward to next year. I learned a lot this year about always striving to be my best and having condence in myself, sophomore Bianca Garoutte said. The team has been amazing and I am so glad to have been a part of MC Swim and Dive.

Tia Simawang and Uma Vaingankar Staff Writers Back in 07, Facebook and Twitter were the fresh new media sites that just hit the market. They took the place of MySpace and were the hype of the social world for the next few years. But since then, these sites have evolved into the foreground of emotional release, awkward updates, and of course selfies. Facebook started as a way to reconnect for friends and post pictures. Now, however, Facebook feeds are flooded by spam and pictures posted by pages you probably liked during a more nave point of your life. Filter out the pages and marketing, and underneath lies the actual material posted by friends. But even then, the supply of pictures and uncomfortable emotional statuses is endless. Instagram photos captioned with three paragraph long lyrics from Macklemores latest single are #toomuch. On the other hand, hash tags are a big part of the social media culture. They are used to tag photos and group other photos with the same tags together. One or two hash tags that are relative to your post are socially permitted, but when photos have 12 tags, its a sure fire way to irritate the general public with your irrelevant post. Twitter, on the other hand, has become the battleground for passive aggressive comments and pointless, mundane statuses. A group guilty to the party foul that is taking passing aggressive digs through Twitter are teenage girls. Teens commonly utilize Twitter as a way to vent and rant without actually naming anyone. This proves to be an economical way to opt out of paying $60/hour for a therapist but also a sure fire way to annoy everyone. Unfortunately, it doesnt end there. The possibilities and combinations of social media sites are endless and every week there seems to be a new platform that everyone needs to be on. These days it seems that Instagram is the new headquarters for pointless updates just like Facebook, except in the form of pictures. The pictures range anywhere from artistic expression type pictures to social sharing pictures. On the other side of annoying social media posts are selfies, the photo you take of yourself. Anyone can find the infamous photographs annoying when you scroll through countless selfies clogging up your Instagram feed. Selfie poses vary from unattractive duck faces to regular, socially acceptable smiles, and everything in between. Just look through any of the Kardashians social media accounts. Some of the more hard core selfie takers use editing apps to disguise themselves with cool effects, on top of the Instagram filters. Of course, the occasional selfie post is completely normal, but when every photo you post is of yourself, your followers are bound to get agitated, no matter how attractive you are. All in all, common etiquette on social media sites is to keep pointless posts sparse and to the point.

Four years after the first Star Trek, expectations were set high for Into Darkness. I was impressed by the movie, but a true Star Trek fan may not be. I was parked on the edge of my seat the entire movie. Of the many plot twists, the main story was about Captain Kirks (Chris Pine) second chance with the Enterprise after a terrorist attack on the Starfleet by Khan (Benedict Cumberbatch). This movie is filled with backstabbing, double agents, love, action, everything. Although, I do feel as though someone who is more familiar with the original Star Trek TV series would be irritated. The original plot was supposed to be pretty straightforward. Khan attacks Starfleet, so Captain Kirk and the Enterprise go after him. But perhaps director J.J. Abrams wanted to add some more Hollywood drama. The action scenes were phenomenal, as one would expect from J.J. Abrams, and the acting was spot on. Zachary Quinto as Spock and Zoe Saldana as Uhura was perfection. It helped to have seen the first Star Trek because there were constant references to the past film, bringing nothing too new to this production. Overall it was a great action movie, but I cant say it was a great Star Trek movie. For all the hype, it ended up being rather anti-climatic. The new modern take was interesting, but it stole a little bit of sustenance from the classic franchise. A true Star Trek fan might be disappointed. Regardless of the twisting of the initial plotlines people fell in love with, J.J. Abrams rendition captivated fans and nonfans alike.

Few things are more feared by students than extensive memorization. Whether it is an art piece for AP Art History or vocabulary for the average English class, the enjoyment of memorization is greatly limited. However, the students of AP Biology must fear no longer. This past AP test for AP Biology was an entirely remade test from previous years. The old AP test relied heavily on memorization with a total of 100 multiple choice questions that were almost entirely based on memorization. Fortunately, this is no longer the case. The new AP test is very different and relies on skills completely different from previous tests. Whereas the old tests were memorization, the new test is heavily based on application. While this no longer rewards as much hard work as the old test, it does give an advantage to those with high spatial intellect. This also implies a possible change to how the AP Biology classes can be taught. While the class now is generally fun and has some really cool things students get to do, much of it is limited to extensive lectures that require a strong attention span to follow. The need for application practice, in place of as much memorization, means that the class is open to many more labs that can be very cool and fun as one watches hours of studying unfold in mere seconds. Overall I give the new test a C+ because, even though it changes how one must study for the class, it can lead to much more interesting content and class time. So, AP Biology students, rejoice! The tyranny of memorization has ended.

I dont think theres a single senior in the class of 2013 who would say that this has been a perfect year. From the peppiest of the peppy to the darkest of the dark, every senior has some complaints. First, Id like to shed my complaint about our Senior Breakfast. We all remember the infamous tire-wrestling game that concluded with a man down. Panic struck the audience as a fellow classmate lay on the field, and was, at least from the perspective of the bleachers, in critical condition. Many of the seniors in the audience were perturbed when the performers carried on as a classmate lay on the field in pain. This was not a highlight of the year. One of the better things about this year was our last pep rally. It really did its job of getting the student body excited about MORP. The performances were wonderful and the entire function was full of pizzazz. It was definitely a great way to end our four years full of pep rallies. Finally, we have Prom. When I initially heard the location of this years last dance, I was admittedly upset. Im all for museums, but I couldnt see myself having a great Prom inside of one. However, the evening of the event certainly made me a believer. The venue wound up being an exquisite place for a school dancethere was ample space for wandering around and escaping the hectic ebb and flow of rowdy teenagers; there were fun places to take photos, both professional and silly, but most importantly, there was an ice cream bar. An ice cream bar. That pretty much speaks for itself. Senior year has been the most insane and confused year of my four in high school. In spite of the bumps in the road along the way, I would say Im very satisfied with my final year of high school.

AP art students now have the opportunity to showcase their illuminating artwork in the newly created Mt Carmel Art Gallery. Placed in the room M7, the former photography room has now been converted to an art gallery to display the work of MC students. When I went to visit, the art featured belonged to artists Paige Ruonala, Elena Lozon, and Stacy Li. Although there are many Sundevils who are participating in the gallery, the artwork is rotated every once in a while to show a variety of talent. Thus not every artist is featured at the same time. The room is split into 3 different walls, each filled with the most prized artwork from each artist. Within each wall the artwork ranges from self-portraits, to pop-up art from books. The magnificent talent of each artist practically screams off the walls with enthusiasm and enchanting promise. Although the room lacks a sufficient amount of artwork, the outstanding dedication and commitment of the artists fulfill the emptiness the room might leave. The impressive art pieces could benefit from a knowledgeable guide to complete the aesthetic experience. Overall the MC Art Gallery, recently opened, features the art of a few Sundevils. Even though to the common eye the gallery appears to want more art pieces, it has only just begun and is looking forward to more outstanding art to join its collection. It sounds clich but you never know if the art that you admire could be from the next Raphael.
