Win a Prom Date with Deca!1

Reporting by CLARE RAMIREZ

KC13

Need a date to prom? Not sure who to go with? Why not go with one of the brightest, hardworking students in school?

No, not from Student Council. The Academic Decathlon team!

These decathletes just placed second in their state competition in Sacramento and will represent California alongside Granada Hills to compete in the national competition on April 25-27 in Minneapolis, Minn. So lets get behind these champions by showing them

our love. They will be spending their time studying, not looking for prom dates!

So ladies and gentlemen, now is your chance! Enter the “Why I Want to Go to Prom with a Decathlete” essay contest to score one of these diligent students as your prom date! We promise, they like to have fun too!

Entries must be at least 500 words, and must contain:

• Allusions to Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak• At least 3 references to Joseph Stalin (bonus points for puns)

• A brief history of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union

Judges will take into account creativity in incorporating the necessary elements in the essay. In each entry, people must specify which decathlete they would like to be their prom date.

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday

Have you ever found yourself fanning yourself when attractive male or female celebrities walk past you in the grocery store?

When you watch your favorite television show, do you have a weekly ritual to mentally prepare yourself for the next hour?

Is your phone background a complete stalker picture of your celebrity crush?

If so, you may be well on your way to becoming a fangirl (or boy, if any of you males fit the description.)

Fangirling is a natural human instinct that empowers many people worldwide.

The dictionary definition of fangirling is as follows: Fangirling-- the reaction a fangirl has to any mention or sighting of the object of her

“affection”. These reactions include shortness of breath, fainting, high-pitched noises, shaking, fierce head shaking as if in the midst of a seizure,

endless blog posts, and more. If you identify with this statement you may possess what it takes to be a fangirl.

Listen up, amateurs, being a fangirl is not always a walk in the park. In fact, it is an arborous task that takes a special kind of dedication

to achieve. But, with my step-by-step guide, you can attain the prestigious title.Step 1: Find a show, celebrity, movie, or any other form of entertain-

ment as your subject.Step 2: Learn everything there is to know on your subject. This

means social media sites, Wikipedia, IMDB, and anywhere else you can learn important information.

Step 3: Begin inserting your subject into day to day life and conver-sation. For example, while conversing with your friends at nutrition, bring up something about your subject and relate it to your present

life.Step 4: Start speaking of your subject in all forms of communication, whether it’s facebook statuses, tweets, instagram posts and every-

where else. Make your subject known!Step 5: Don’t be afraid to let your love for your subject shine. Often, people are intimidated by the knowledge and experience you have

gained with your subject. If you are a Cancer, Leo, Scorpio or Virgo, this should not be a problem for you. But all you Sagittariuses,

Libraes and Pisceans, let go of your reservations and really show people what you’re made of.

If steps 1-5 are closely followed, you will be a true fangirl in no time. Whether you’re a Belieber, a Directioner or you really just love a

specific television show, fangirling truly does take your passion to a new level.

So embrace that fan and always carry your camera because fangirling is about to take El Camino by storm.

Embarrassing Moments!Reporting by NICOLE KOSOFF

yikes!gasp!Love is in the Air

Attacked from behind

I was at an event with a boy that I really liked at the time. I wanted to impress him and get his attention, so I did a cartwheel for him. In the middle of my cartwheel when my legs were in midair, how-ever, I farted, and everybody busted out laughing! To this day, I can’t look that boy in the eye.

Blame GameIn first grade, I was super scared of my teacher. I was afraid to ask her to go to the bathroom and ended up peeing in my pants at my desk. She noticed the pee on the floor and I tried to blame it on my best friend who sat at the desk with me. It didn’t really work since my pants were the ones that were wet, so I claimed that I sat on a wet floor and swore it wasn’t me!

Falling 4 UIn tenth grade, I saw my crush in the quad, so I shouted his name and ran to him. As I got close, I slipped and fell into a huge mud puddle and had mud EVERYWHERE. I had to borrow three of my friends’ clothes. Not to mention, it was in front of my crush who saw everything.

I wanted to spit out my gum before making out with this girl, so I tried to casually spit it past her, but it landed right on her arm and stuck there, to which she replied “Ew!”

Target missed

In second grade, I was walking home from school with my mom and all of the sudden I see this brown blob coming at my face. It turnes out that a squirrel jumped on my head to get to a tree. I started crying in front of a bunch of people and now I am traumatized by squirrels.

Airborne Squirrels

We were in class and our teacher was standing next to me to help another student. Too bad that at the time I didn’t realize his butt was right next to me. My friends called my name, and when I turned my head, my face slammed into his butt.

Who wore it better?Our panel of professional fasionistas were the judges of that

Sarina Sity and Georgia Rodger were caught in the halls rocking this neon yellow vest from ECRAdmin 2010 fall fashion line. Both girls looked fabulous, but it’s Sarina’s dark monochromatic outfit that acts as the perfect backdrop for this blinding yellow.

Who said bright yellow vests are just for girls? KC13 snapped Nick Shahbazyar and Justin Hoang sporting ECRAdmin’s signature vest. While both guys put a twist on the classic oversized vest -- Nick wearing it over the shoulder and Justin turning it into a chic spring scarf -- Justin wins us over with his creative reimagining of this piece.

BEHIND THE SCENES: “Crazy” in Love

AFTER

KC136

Previously popular ECR couple Sharon Spellman and Luke Laurita spill their juicy secrets on their dramatic split.

Dear Miss Sharpie,

-The Future Mrs. Polak

I am completely in love with Brenden Polak. I am confident that he is the love of my life, but he doesn’t even know who I am. I love the way he wears his beanies, how he drinks extra large sodas after lunch, and most of all, his su-per cute new earrings. He runs the senior class with such grace, and it makes my heart beat faster, and puts butterflies in my stomach. I even stayed at his ice-skating fundraiser ALL DAY just to see him. I’m completely smitten. What do I do?

Dear Future,

-Miss Sharpie

You’ve come to the right place! Luckily for you, Miss Sharpie knows all the juicy details about anyone and everyone. What I know about Brenden Polak is that he is total sweetheart! You picked a winner. He loves a girl who shows her true feelings, so get your big-girl pants on and go get your man!

Dear Miss Sharpie,I have this problem: I can’t seem to shake this one boy! I try to give him all the hints I can think of and he just won’t leave me alone! I don’t want to seem like a brat, but I feel so bad that he likes me, and that the feel-ings just aren’t mutual. What do I do? Do I just hope things go away? Or should I just tell him how I feel so we can both move on.

-Would Rather Be Forever Alone

Dear Forever,

-Miss Sharpie

Aw, looks like you got a clinger. This is the worst type of product from a communication malfunction, and can be rather difficult to get rid of. In my past experience -- since Miss Sharpie has a lifetime of knowl-edge -- I would recommend telling this boy your true feelings. It’s obvious that he’s NOT getting the hint, so it’s time to pull out the big guns, and tell him the truth. Hurting people is a major bummer, but sometimes it just has to be done, and in this case, there’s just no way around it. Hope all goes well, and just remember, you’re helping him in the long run so go do what you have to do!

ASK MISS SHARPIEIn need of some masterful

advice? You’ve asked the right girl; Miss Sharpie can help!

ATTENTION DREAM-TEAMERS: DREAM TEAM FORMS A BOY BAND

MIC

HAEL

, JOEY, TOMMY, MASON, JAMES AND CRIS

It’s time for One Direction to watch out! There’s a new boy band on the streets ready to take over. That’s right, the Dream Team! These six guys have decided to start their career by forming a boy band. With their good looks, charming personalities, and incredible talent, who wouldn’t love them?

Band members Mason Pollock, Cris Fran-cis, James Mayhew, Joey Reeve, Michael Pope, and Tommy Derry will start off their music career by singing covers of other boy bands at lunch on the quad and of course they will be wearing color coor-dinated outfits!

Each member of the Dream Team had to make a difficult decision in order to make their real dreams come true. Unfortunately Mason, Cris, and James had to quit basketball while Joey, Mi-chael, and Tommy had to quite base-ball. We won’t be seeing these guys in action on the field or court anymore, but that’s ok. We’d rather see them on the stage anyways!

Hayden Shenefield, previous member of The Dream Team, felt that his spot with the other boys

distracted the fans from his individual talent. He plans to release a single album in the

next few months.

OVES THE DREA

M

By SARA SUTHERLAND

They’re just like YOU...!

They chuck up their deuces.

They twerk on the quad...

Not only does 1D need to watch their back, it looks like Justin Bieber also has some serious competition

headed his way. Hayden Shenefield, originally the seventh member of the Dream Team, de-

cided that going solo would be in his best interest. Hayden had different ideas than

the rest of the guys and he thought the other band members would hold him

back from his true potential. The Dream Team expects their

album to be released in June. The lucky seniors will be able to hear their hit single at gradua-tion, as it was voted to be the class song.

For all the Dreamers out there, be sure to stop by in S- 6 on Fridays at nutrition to be an official member of the Dream Team Fan Club. This Friday

the club will be making an official twitter account so you don’t want

to miss it!

On the

Scene: Hoodie WeatHer is Heating upBy SARAH STIGERS

Nothing More Than Human! Make sure to check out their popular track

“Melatonin,” but don’t get too star-struck ladies; Zack and Jake are happily taken! But if you’re looking for a down-to-earth drum player, Jeremy is your man!

Between practices and shows, it’s hard to imagine that these boys have time

for anything else, but it’s their lives outside of the band that shape who they are.

In his free time, Zack likes to spend time with his beautiful girlfriend, hang with his totally

rad friends, have jam-sessions with his cousin Charlie, and

play with his beagle, Luckie. Jake likes to spend his

spare time shredding on the guitar, chilling with his homies and speding time on the green playing rounds of golf.

Last, but very not least, Jeremy uses his time away from the band to play with his cats, text his buddies, and take trips to the Redwood Forest.

They may be up-and-coming rock stars, but the band would like everyone to remember that they’re just like you!

Is it cold in here, or is it just Hoodie Weather? A new group is on the scene and contrary to their name, this band is hot!

Hoodie Weather members -- lead singer, Zack Burke on guitar, Jake Gordon, and drummer Jeremy Amato -- have more than just good looks, as they have already recorded Nothing M o r e Than Human,

their first six-song EP.

But what lies behind this passion and talent is a group of Valley boys who just like to have fun, and play music.

Fun may be a huge part of the behind-the-scenes action that goes on for HW, but it’s hard work, dedication and creativity that has allowed the band to be as successful as it is.

“i saW tHe LigHt,

pop is hot” By BRIT-EL GIBSON

After spending years of life lusting after rock and rollers like Glenn Danzig, Jim Morrison, Iggy Pop and all of Green Day, among far too many others, I’ve realized that rock and rollers are not the ferociously intellectual erotic magicians I’ve always found them to be: they’re just sweaty old pervs with drug-addled brains.

What was wrong with me? Recently, I took a deeper listen to all the music I formerly despised—Justin Bieber, One Direction and Drake.

Like, damn— Eminem and Tupac got nothing on Drake! And Drake uses just seven words—“Started from the bottom now we’re here”—whereas Eminem had way too many words in “Lose Yourself.” But One Direction, ohmigod, “Live While We’re Young” just spoke to me. The music I used to call repetitive and shallow, I now know is inspired and profound.

“Live while we’re young”… Tyler Durden never said anything as stimulating as that. And songs as sweet as “Little Things” by 1D and “Boyfriend” by Justin Bieber are just way more o v e r w h e l m i n g than, like, “Light My Fire” by The

Doors or “I Need Somebody” by Iggy & the Stooges.

I used to think those songs rocked my entire psyche, but these songs are just so sweet! Also,

One Direction and Justin Bieber and stuff are actually YOUNG, not these sweaty old men just begging to be arrested for drug possession and statutory rape.

Being fresh and having swag is way hotter than reading William Blake and stage diving. I used to idolize lyrics like

“Are there no fighters left here anymore? Are we the generation we’ve been waiting for, or are we patiently burning, waiting to be saved?” but what Rise Against didn’t understand with that song, is who needs to read stuff and have a REVOLUTION when you have SWAG?

Like, Justin Bieber would show me off and show me the finer things in life instead of rock and rollers like Marilyn Manson who just give cold advice like thinking

for yourself and being yourself, which is way

harsh. Besides, Marilyn Manson is into some messed-up stuff like S&M, which should be illegal!

He should learn from Justin Bieber and be a gentleman, and tell girls he’ll do all the thinking for them. W

Tips for trimming

down from the

experts

It’s springtime, so that means it’s time to start trim-ming down to fit into that cute pair of short shorts sit-ting in your drawer. Having trouble?

Is what you’re doing right now just not w o r k i n g ? D o n ’ t w o r r y , b e -cause mem-b e r s of the w r e s -t l i n g t e a m , who routinely drop more weight than the most beautiful super-models, are here to help give you their most ef-fective tips and secrets on how to drop that win-ter weight fast.

Senior wres-tler Seamus Sullivan is confi-dent that his tips can help anyone look great.

“Exercise is everything,” Sullivan said gleefully. “Get-ting a good cardio workout in is the best. After that do some calisthenics and some stretches and you will be losing weight in no time at all.”

Although Sullivan’s work-out regimen is effective, as shown through his own ex-ample, it does require you to be in great physical con-dition.

If exercise isn’t your strong suit, or if you just

want to change it up from that tiring life-style, than we’ve got you covered.

Junior Sean Polakov was cut-ting 13 pounds every week to be able to wrestle in

the 126-pound weight class this year. Cutting that much all the time

is not an easy feat, especially for

s o m e o n e who’s al-

ready fint and trim.W h a t w a s his se-

cret? He cut out all

those nasty carbs. “I didn’t eat any bread or

sweets any more,” Polakov explained.

“I kept with only proteins and vegetables.” How ef-fective is this diet? Polakov never missed weight this season and since coming off of it, has gained a gigantic 23 pounds. Although losing sweets is a downer, every-one knows that slim is sexy.

POWDERPUFF PACKS A PUNCHBy SARAH STIGERS

Every year girls lace up their cleats, and boys cut up their shirts for the seniors ver-sus juniors Powder Puff foot-ball game.

After months of hard work during practice -- the girls pre-paring plays, and the boys working on their body rolls -- the day finally came for play-ers and cheerleaders to show their stuff.

On the last day before the epic spring break 2013, the school was decked-out with red and blue pride, parking lots were divided by class, and Harlem shakes were abundant.

The day’s f e s t i v i t e s were

A FUN NIGHT...joyous, but the real excitement started with the long-awaited kickoff.

The stands were filled with screaming fans dressed ac-cording to their class, and the atmosphere was crazy!

Cheerleaders shook what their momma’s gave ‘em, and the players showed that girls can do any-t h i n g

boys can do -- but better, as the game went into double overtime, ending in a senior victory!

Both sides of the field played their hardest, and both sets of cheerleaders did their best to pump up the crowd, and even though the seniors emerged victorious, it was ap-parent from the reactions of all involved that the night was a success.

Thanks for a great night, coordinator Alana Chetlan!
