Many students have felt the sting of an insulting comment on Facebook or a harsh text message…very few however, know the pain and catastroph-ic psychological effects of cy-ber bullying on a larger scale. Amanda Todd was a 15 year old girl who was found hanged in her home in Vancouver on October 10th, 2012. Only a month before, Todd had post-ed a video on YouTube titled My Story: Struggling, Bully-ing, Suicide, and Self Harm, in which she described her short life in a series of flashcards. In this video, Todd said that she used video chat rooms to “meet and talk to new peo-ple…” One stranger convinced her to flash her breasts over video, then threatened to post the picture all over the inter-net if she didn’t “give a show.” Todd became depressed, de-veloping habits of alcohol and drug abuse, when the picture began to circulate through Fa-cebook and the internet. She changed schools and houses multiple times within the years following, but moving was not enough to keep the photo from following her. continued on page 10...

It is not every day that a world renowned singer performs at LJHS. However, students and the surrounding community are in luck; Tyler Hilton will be starring in the U-­Benefit Ugan-da concert on November 30. This concert, held in the Parker Auditorium, will feature Tyler Hilton, star of One Tree Hill, who also played Drew in Taylor Swift’s music video “Teardrops on My Guitar.” Local Savan-nah Philyaw, an up and coming star, will open for Hilton with a few of her original acoustic songs. This concert is a fundraiser for the U-Touch club of LJHS. The club works to raise funds to support Ugandan students orphaned by the tragic LRA war. The non-­profit U-­Touch organization, which stands for Universal Technology Out-reach Community Hubs, brings

Students at La Jolla High School are often blissfully un-aware of the mechanics of the budget that governs their scholastic lives. However, as each year passes in this so-called “great recession,” they are forced to become more involved with the monetary reality of San Diego Unified Schools. But now with the pas-sage of Proposition 30, this monetary reality may not be so grim. La Jolla High started off on a bad foot this year, with below average enrollment numbers; as of September 28, our of-ficial enrollment was 1,544 students—approximately 100 students less than the usual head count. This may seem

technology, internet, and train-ing to rural villages to empower the Ugandan population. Con-cert tickets are priced at $10 for students and $15 for the gen-eral public (they can be found at www.u-touch.org/tickets or at Cups La Jolla) or purchased at the door for a slightly higher fee. Doors open at 5 p.m. for a holiday shopping experience which includes jewelry and assorted merchandise from Uganda. The club will also hold a raffle of items donated from local sponsors. Follow-ing the concert there will be a very special “Meet and Greet” session with both Philyaw and Hilton. This concert is a wonderful opportunity to see incredible performers while supporting a wonderful cause, and word on the street is that a few teachers will be giving extra credit for at-tendance.

inconsequential, but for every student La Jolla High gets, it receives an extra allowance, which is a boost to our ADA, or Average Daily Attendance money. For each student en-rolled at any SDUSD school, there is a daily sum allowed for that student, essentially a daily tuition paid to the school bud-get by the state of California. A loss of thirty students was predicted for LJHS, but the large enrollment drop meant a lower budget on which the school can run, larger class sizes, and fewer teachers. This newfound lack of teach-ers is district-wide, but has af-fected LJHS in a particularly disruptive way. In October, just after many students thought their schedules had settled down for good, the new un-

derclassmen English teacher and the returning Ms. Boaz abruptly vanished. This disappearance occurred because of an excess of teach-ers at other schools: teachers’ contracts, which had been re-newed the year before, turned out to be out of the scope of what other schools could af-ford. San Diego Unified told Mr. Shelburne he could hire whomever he liked to fill the three extra positions here at La Jolla: two English teach-ers and one ASL teacher. But the contracts of the teachers from other schools could not be voided: since they had been renewed the year before, they had to be honored and paid for the year. However; the new contractscontinued on page 10...

Diego for about a month. W h i l e discussing schools, McLean says, “School [in New Zealand] is more laid-back, while here [United States] schools are more focused on college.” Another difference between the two countries is the weather and seasons. Because winter in New Zealand is summer in the United States and vice versa, he notes that, “we have Christmas, but Santa Claus wears shorts.” McLean says a major holiday over there is Boxing Day, the day after Christmas and New Years where everything is on sale. His favorite thing about the United States is the variety of food. “There are more options

Moving from houses within the state, or even between states is hard enough, but imagine moving to an entirely new country. La Jolla High School students may think they know all about their student population; however, few people know that there are many different people from around the world, like foreign exchange students. Since La Jolla High School has a diverse student body, and there are many customs and holidays celebrated, new foreign students are not that unusual. Do not be shy, get to know them! For instance, sophomore Kamma Fogh is originally from

Denmark, and is adjusting very well. She has made many new friends and she blends in easily. Fogh says, "Everyone has been so welcoming, they've just been asking so many questions! They're always asking me to speak Danish." She also shares that she really enjoys the foreign exchange program, and loves the family she is staying with. Some things that she likes better in La Jolla, compared to Denmark, is the weather. It is not always as warm in Denmark. However she cannot wait to get back home and see her family, friends, and the home she has been missing. Plus, she misses her only means of transportation: her bike! She is looking forward to

her year here at La Jolla High, so keep on making her feel welcomed and do not hesitate to talk to her. Another student, junior Sara Kovacs from Hungary , is also in the foreign exchange program and is staying with a family from La Jolla High. For the most part, she is adapting well to the environment, especially after only having been here for three weeks. However, she sometimes gets lost, but thanks to the helpful people, she finds her way back easily. She notices that America is much bigger than Hungary, and even San Diego alone is larger. She also mentions that there are signifigant differences in the educational system compared to that of the Hungarian school system.

"I'm really happy to be here, especially to learn the language," Sara explains. "I would love to go to university here, and expand my discoveries here." Sara also says that her family is what she misses most, along with her friends, boyfriend, and regular hobbies, like dancing. One last thing she added was the fact that she was very shocked that most people she has met here, have not been to Europe or do not know much about it. She loves the U.S. so far, and is exploring many new things here. Senior Connal McLean, who moved from New Zealand because of his dad’s work, has lived in the United States for about three years and in San

Students at La Jolla High School should be cautious of the foods they consume because they can affect brain function. There are a variety of foods to stimulate the brain and help with concentration, memory, clarity, and better physical and mental health. Here are few quick and simple foods to help enhance brain functions throughout the day.1. Blueberries and Strawberries—High in antioxidants, anthocyanidins and flavoroids, berries help decrease cognitive aging and influence memory and learning.2. Mixed Nuts—Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and peanuts, are proven to help improve memory. They can help enhance brainpower and regulate mood. Almonds contain oleic acid, a substance which is responsible for stimulating the memory.3. Dark Chocolate—Because, of its chemical makeup, dark chocolate can improve one’s mood and increase positivity and happiness. Dark chocolate also contains mild caffeine that acts as a small energy and brain booster. Because dark chocolate increases the blood flow to the brain, there is an increase in cognitive functioning.4. Eggs— Filled with folic acid, eggs help the chemical messengers connect between the neurotransmitters and brain cells. Egg yolks are also better for the health of your body compared to egg whites because they contain a larger amount of nutrients and vitamins, that are beneficial in the overall heath of the skin, eyes and brain.5. Whole Grains—Abundant in fibers, whole grains included in breads, crackers, pastas, and more, are beneficial to enhancing brainpower. The carbohydrates in the whole grains are converted into healthy glucose that promotes memory and speeds up reaction time. While simply taking in these few brain foods will not account for an instant increase in brain function, but moderate and daily intake will be propitious to their overall healthy in both the brain and the body. Many of these foods can be found in the majority of grocery stores and are favorable to the brain’s function.

in fast foods and types of restaurants. There are not as in New Zealand as compared to here,” explained McLean. Whether the foreign students noticed the good or bad differences, the main comments among the students were the changes in school life and the temperature, as well as how the United States and LJHS have more diversity than their native countries. La Jolla High School should continue adding to their diverse student body while welcoming new customs and cultures. Remember to meet these people if you have not already. Everyone appreciates a little good old fashioned American hospitality!

Senior Connal Mclean, from New Zealand, explains that customs are different, saying “... Santa Claus wears shorts.”

Junior Sara Kovacs, from Hungary, says, “I’m really happy to be here, especially to learn the language.”

Sophomore Kamma Fogh, from Denmark, says students express interest. “They’re always asking me to speak Danish.”

College AlternativesBy Megan CarrollStaff Writer

Contrary to what many

students believe, going to

college after graduation is not

the only option. Some students

are not made for the four-year

college experience. This does

not doom them to a life of

failure and unemployment. In

fact, there are many alternatives

students can choose besides

going to college.

The Gap Year: Some

people are not ready for college

immediately following high

school. Instead, they can take

a year off of school. During

this year, they can participate

in activities such as traveling

the world. Traveling teaches

people to be responsible and

teaches them how to take

care of themselves. There

are amazing sights to see,

new people to meet, and new

experiences to be had.

People can also do charity

work in a foreign country.

Many organizations such as

Global Vision International

and TeenLife have a plethora

of programs set up in different

countries, where people can do

anything from teaching young

children how to play sports,

to building homes, to helping

conserve wildlife resources.

Increasingly, employers want

to see that potential employees

have demonstrated an interest

in giving back and helping the

less fortunate.

Start a business: You

could always start a business.

If you have something you

are passionate about, put your

skills and determination to

use. With the Internet and

large amounts of resources

available today, starting a

business is not as hard as it

would seem. Both Steve Jobs

and Bill Gates dropped out of

college and started two of the

most successful businesses in

the world.

Go to trade school or get an apprenticeship: Trade

schools or vocational schools

give you job specific skills. Schools such as culinary school

or beauty school fall into this

category. Apprenticeships are

also available for jobs such as

mechanics and plumbing. You

immediately receive training in

an area that you are interested

in. You can get a job that you

enjoy as soon as you finish your program.

Community College: Community college comes

with a great deal of negative

stigma attached to it. However,

community colleges in

California can give a student

a quality education, and have

incredible value. Students can

attend a community college for

a few years and then transfer

to a four-year university. It

is an easier route to get into a

university they had no chance

of getting into when they were

in high school, and obviously

money is a huge factor for

transfer students.

There are options out there

for students if they do not want

to go to a college right after

high school. Students have

to weigh the pros and cons of

college and college alternatives

and choose whatever is best

for them. It is important to

remember that a gap year can

affect the path of life forever.

Students who enjoy a year off from college can travel and learn

more about different countries and their cultures.

HI-TIDE10 NEWS November 16, 2012

Students everywhere know the fact that colleges use ap-plicants’ Facebook accounts to recruit or determine their eligibility; however, when it comes to wars, it’s easy for friends, colleges, and even the government to graduate from cute “Facebook stalking” to federal hacking. Sometimes, a hacker’s job can be cut short with a click in the Google search box, other times, enemies can gain information through simple Facebook posts and Twitter updates. Just saying, “my big brother is shipping out for Af-ghanistan tomorrow,” could compromise his safety. Even if these posts seem harmless, breaks in security are very dangerous. The abil-ity for average citizens to ac-cess and update websites such as Wikileaks could have drastic consequences. In an effort to curtail the leaking of classified intelli-gence in the wake of 9/11, President Bush passed the bill known as the USA PATRIOT Act(to be ruled on in 2013). It gave the federal government certain surveillance liberties--most of which were met with considerable criticism from the media and concerned citizens-

-including the right to per-form warrantless wiretaps. Al-though President Obama said he would end the Act, it was merely altered and continued. One leaker, Bradley Man-ning, was prosecuted by the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA or 18 USC § 1030- Fraud and related activity in connection with computers)

which gives the ability to pun-ish or imprison hackers who knowingly access or damage electronic information without approval. Examples of forbidden data include executive orders and statutes that could prove harmful to the US or advance a foreign nation. The CFAA can imprison a guilty offender for up to 20 years. The CFAA, unlike the Patriot Act, does not authorize wiretapping by any law enforcement or intelligence

agency of the US; however, the Foreign Intelligence Surveil-lance Act of 1978(FISA) allows for interception of phone calls or email of those suspected of terrorism. The effectiveness of the CFAA is now being debat-ed regarding it’s handling of real security threats. Early April 2012, Army Pri-vate Bradley Manning was ac-cused of violating the CFAA by leaking the Afghan War Docu-ments, which entailed descrip-tions of civilian casualties and a bleak portrayal of NATO ef-forts against the Taliban. Judge Kozinski, Chief Judge of the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, wrote for the majority on the Man-ning case, and criticized the CFAA’s relevance in modern day society by comparing it to a social networker describ-ing themselves as “‘tall, dark, and handsome’ when you are actually short and homely, will earn you an orange jumpsuit.” Those in favor of the CFAA pointed out that as a result of the leak, America’s standing in the Middle East was harmed. The case was held Novem-ber 7, Manning plead guilty “by exceptions and substitu-tions,” offering admission of the “secret spilling,” but not accepting all the charges. At this time, the Manning case does not have a consensus and the CFAA remains debated. Read more in the Hi-Tide for updates.

...continued from page 1 At one point she began to chat with an older male friend of hers, which led to him convinc-ing Todd to come to his house and have sex. The “friend” and his group later attacked Todd at school, leading to her first suicide attempt by drinking bleach. Even then, Todd was mocked by posts including, “maybe she should have tried different bleach.” Todd moved another time before posting her video. She was still very anxious, rarely leaving home, but her mother thought she was doing better. The video went viral and had more than 1,600,000 views by October 13, 2012.

Todd’s death should be a wakeup call to families all over the country. Growing up in a world increasingly published online is danger-ous. Millions of people suffer from cyber bully-ing every day and do not have any way of pre-venting it. V.A.C.H.I. (Voices against cruelty, hatred, and intolerance club) at La Jolla High School is working to prevent bullying. If there is knowledge of a bully, please encourage them to consider the severity and consequences of their words, they may mean the taking of a life.

DEATH BY INTERNET

SIGNS THAT SOMEONE IS BEING BULLIED: The victim may have a shift in personality. He or she may have an increase in cell phone/ internet use. He or she may have a decreased interest in favorite activities and avoid human contact. The victim might also be extremely re-luctant to attend school. Note that up to 85% of students who are being cyber bullied are also being harassed while on campus. IF YOU HAVE WITNESSED SOMEONE

BEING BULLIED: Do not be a bystander. Make sure to either in-tervene in the situation, or get an adult to help. Studies show that when a friend intervenes, close to 60% of bullying stops. It is also vital to listen with undivided attention. It is key to lis-ten to them without judging them or panicking, and let them speak however they can.IF YOU ARE BEING BULLIED AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ASK FOR HELP:

It is important to know that there are people who are eager and willing to help. There is not always a simple solution to being bullied, but with the help of a teacher, school counselor, therapist or parent, it may be easier to begin the process of coping with if not resolving the issue. If there is still discomfort with talking to adults, there is the option of the Kids Help Phone. They are confidential, anonymous, and able to listen at any hour.HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF ONLINE: Always be cautious. Not everyone online is trustworthy and it is easy to get carried away. Be sure to use the highest privacy settings on social networking websites and apps., and only accept requests after viewing the person’s pro-file. For those with low self-­esteem, beware; it is easy to become susceptible to the compliments of seemly innocent strangers.

Attention all students, par-ents, and teachers, recent de-creases in the number of PTA members are affecting La Jolla High School and the activities of every graduating class. The PTA, Parent Teacher Association, is composed of "many hard-w o r k i n g and cre-ative par-ents who will make good things happen this year," said the board president, Beth Pen-ny. Howev-er, involve-ment is decreasing, by about 200 members in the 2012-2013 school year. Penny suspects this is due to change in registra-tion methods. "In our efforts to modernize registration, we eliminated the paper form and offered PTA memberships through the Webstore," said Mrs. Penny. Although, in the past, PTA membership has re-mained mostly constant, with membership at the highest in the San Diego Unified School

District, the new registration process as well as technical dif-ficulties have made the associa-tion unclear of their rankings. One way for students to get involved with the PTA is by be-coming a member, increasing membership, donate money, and help out with fundraisers to create more opportunities for students and parents. Mr.

S h e l b u r n e has also been involved in encouraging people to be-come mem-bers. While the PTA has a very impor-tant role in the school's a c t i v i t i e s , their de-

crease in membership-- caus-ing many budget problems--so far has not greatly impacted the students. In order to keep LJHS’s PTA membership the highest in SDUSD and keep the benefits of the PTA mem-bers’ hard work, get involved and tell others to become members. Mrs. Penny strongly encourages students to “share any ideas they have with the PTA to make LJHS a better place.”

The PTA is composed of “many

hardworking and creative parents who will make good things

happen this year,” said Beth PennyPhoto courtesy of wikipedia.org

...continued from page 1here at La Jolla could be ter-minated, so Ms. Boaz and the others were out, and the new teachers were in, thus more schedule chaos. This uncertainty is not just confined to the public K-­12 schools; many public institu-tions of higher education are feeling the cinching of a fiscal-belt being fastened ever tighter. The University of California at Berkeley, where over forty LJHS alumni currently study, is just one of many public col-leges projecting pessimistically into the a grim future. UC tu-itions have already doubled in the past five years, but without the passage of drastic budget measures, fees will continue to rise. However, with the passage of California state Proposi-tion 30, the days to come no longer look so dark for Califor-nia’s educational institutions. Proposition 30 was Governor Brown’s tax initiative to create emergency funds for Califor-nia public schools, and within days of the election, its ap-proval has already elicited a joyous response from many a

SDUSD official. For example, Superintendent Bill Kowba is-sued a statement on the San Diego City Schools website just days after the election. “California voter approval of Proposition 30 has a very im-mediate and positive impact on San Diego Unified and school districts throughout the state. The Governor will not exercise midyear trigger cut... Our staff and students will continue the planned school year without any change in schedule and build upon the academic successes of [our] district.” Public schools were created with the intention to provide education to the general pop-ulation. But, if their funding was to continue to shrink at a devastating rate, soon the edu-cation they offer may not have been worth anything. La Jolla High remains ranked one of the top fifty schools in California and top 200 in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, and hopefully, with the passage of Proposition 30, LJHS will be able to maintain or even improve upon its rank-ings.

Why are Foreign Bands

By Hannah Orr Staff Writer

Topping the Charts?

In the recent months, there has been an overwhelming increase in the popularity of foreign bands. It all began this summer, with the appearance of Psy and his smash hit, “Gangnam Style.” Not only has this K-pop hit reached over 300 million views on YouTube, it has also spawned multiple parodies and has been on billboard.com’s top 100 chart for six weeks and counting. Psy’s 15 minutes of fame are ticking: he has appeared on Ellen with Britney Spears and there is a photo circulating of him and Hugh Jackman on the set of the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Many people are already sick of “Gangnam Style,” but some just can’t get enough of it. One of these people is senior Thomas Freidrich, who said that, “everyone around me seems to hate it, but I still like it. I can still dance to it and its beat is still original.” What is it that makes overseas music so popular here in America? Junior Spyke Schumacher’s explanation was, “you’re used to this culture specifically and if you hear

something from a faraway place you think it’s different.” There are other artists that have been popular for a

seemingly long period of time in the U.S., such as Mumford and Sons and Ellie Goulding. “Lights” has been on the charts for 43 weeks, according to billboard.com, but it was actually released in March of 2011. Lately, “Lights” has been getting a lot of radio time, which may have contributed to its ever-growing popularity. Ellie Goulding, the girlfriend of Skrillex, has been enjoying her recent fame in the U.K. as well as America, and her North American tour showed just how many fans she has here in the U.S. In a May 2011 interview with nme.com, she said; “the crowds [in America] are very enthusiastic, very energetic and very happy” adding “I think generally in America being successful is very celebrated over there.” Perhaps this is why Goulding has been such a constant presence in American radio and popular culture. Another newly discovered talent from across the pond is Marina Diamantis of Marina and the Diamonds. Her sophomore album, Electra Heart, was released with amazing success in the United Kingdom and fairly good results in the United States. With her soulful yet poppy sound, Marina has been slowly

accumulating a fan base here in America after first appearing

at SXSW in March of 2010. One unique artist that La Jolla High students might recognize is Basshunter, a Swedish electronica artist whose music was used by German Club in their airband performance last year. Thomas Friedrich, a senior and VP of German Club, said that they chose the song “because we had some people who were Swedish in the group and it was kind of the sound we were looking for, but we just couldn’t find a

good techno with a really good voice and Basshunter was just great.” Jonas Erik Altberg’s music is classified by heavy

bass and a full, electronica sound, that makes it very easy to listen and dance to. But Basshunter is not the only Swedish band that deserves recognition. First Aid Kit, a sister act made up of Johanna and Klara Soderberg, is slowly gaining an American audience. Their music is folky, with beautiful interlacing harmonies. A big plus for their American audience: they sing in English, which means that their lyrics are actually discernable, unlike “Gangnam Style,” which requires the use of a translator. There is undeniably a foreign invasion occurring in today’s music scene, whether the genre is pop, folk, or electronica. Many new bands have just sprung up here in the U.S., and many more are sure to come. Who knows what the next “Gangnam Style” will be?

STAGECOACH

If you enjoy rocking those cowboy boots and jamming to country music, then you better start rounding up your tickets for Stagecoach: California’s official Country Music

Festival. The Stage Coach music festival is one of the country’s most highly anticipated events of the year, and the 2013 fest will be more exciting than ever. Featuring performances by top country music acts such as Lady Antebellum, Toby Keith, Zac Brown Band, and Darius Rucker, this festival is anxiously awaited by country fans everywhere. A three-­day event filled

with many performances, this festival has something for everyone who follows country music. Stagecoach is located in Indio, California, at the

same venue as Coachella. This crazed country music festival is happening April 26-28, 2013. “I’ve been to Stagecoach the first two years

and I am planning to go this year,” senior Sarah Alton said. She believes that the line up is “really good, which will make the festival really fun.” Many country music lovers at La Jolla High School revealed to the Hi-Tide who their favorite country music artists are. Senior Savannah Harvey told us, “My favorite country artist is a tie between Jason Aldean, Darius Rucker, and Lady Antebellum.” Alton responded, “Luke Bryan; its too bad he’s not part of the line up for this year’s festival.” For country fans everywhere, Stagecoach is a must see.

Without having to spend copious amounts of money, La Jolla High students looking for excitement can see 91X’s annual Wrex the Halls concert. With a lineup featuring eight bands including The Killers, M83, Passion Pit, Tegan and Sara, The Joy Formidable, Imagine Dragons,Youngblood Hawke, and Audio Addiction, concert atendees are in for an excellent time. Much of the LJHS student body is excited about the upcoming event on Friday, December 7th. Junior Jonna Scriebman said, “I went to Wrex the Halls last year for the first time and it was really

fun. The lineup was insane and I had a great time with all of my friends! I am looking forward to going to this year’s Wrex the Halls just as much, but I am pretty disappointed that it is not a two night concert like it was last year.” Although Wrex the Halls is only one night and has less bands performing this winter, there are still many great things about the show, which will cause the event to sell out rather quickly. This concert is priced to meet a student’s budget. Not only is it located centrally in San Diego at the Viejas Arena on the San Diego

State University campus, but it also has reasonable ticket prices starting at only $19.91 and ranging up to $60.91. So if you are short on cash, you will not have to totally break the bank to see some quality bands. Senior Karina Bistrong said that “Wrex the Halls last year was filled with good vibes and

good music. Sneaking on to the floor with friends to see

Florence and the Machine up close was unreal and totally worth every penny. It is also a plus that we do not have to drive very far and the show is on a Friday this year!” The annual indie music concert is sure to be a good time for any music lover. If you are a La Jolla High student and enjoy listening to live bands, hanging out with some of your friends, and not spending a lot of money for a good time, Wrex the Halls is definitely the

place to be when December rolls around. The concert always sells out fast, so if you are interested in attending, be sure to not wait until the last minute to buy your tickets. If you cannot make it to Wrex the Halls this year, do not worry, because more great shows are always around the corner. Be on the lookout for more exciting concerts this winter and be prepared to see some shows!

If you were expecting La Jolla High’s drama department to produce another round of comedies and lighthearted mysteries this year, then you are in for quite a surprise. This year’s fall play “A Piece of My Heart,” set during Vietnam War-era America, is intense, gritty, unapologetically emotional, and entirely true. Written autobiographically by Shirley Lauro, the play chronicles the stories of six women (four nurses, a red cross volunteer, and an intelligence officer)

who served in the Vietnam War. The story unfolds as these women survive the horrors of the warzone, and the emotional toll it takes. “A Piece of My Heart” brings up a key issue that can be seen in every headline this past election season- women’s rights. Ms. Boutelle said, “ I [chose this play] to remind the young audience here of the obstacles women faced in the sixties and seventies. For you, it might seem like a lifetime ago, but for me it was when I was a teenager… I know how far women’s

Last year, Stephanie Foster was just a freshman with a pencil in her hand and a dream in mind. Today, she steps on campus every Monday with a mission in focus. Foster, currently a sophomore, runs the new Splatter! Club, along with officers Kate Jensen, Cailin Liu,

and Kaitlin Wheeler. Splatter! Club’s

name is not clearly indicative of its

Splatter! CLub Making a Splashpurpose; to serve the greater San Diego community through art. For now, Foster is starting local, obtaining permission for her club to paint electrical boxes in Pacific Beach, and working on LJHS

campus beautification, but the breadth

of the club will soon be expanding at an exponential rate. Foster’s original goal was simple; to help students at La Jolla get their daily dose of art. Many students would like to take an art class, but cannot because

of the interminable quest for a 5.0 G.P.A. Originally, the concept for the club was just to give art lessons at lunch during the week, but the idea quickly grew. Foster hopes to have Splatter! Club branch out to multiple schools in the San Diego Unified School District,

providing art lessons to students at schools which may otherwise not have any art classes offered. So far, Foster and her Splatter! Club are off to a good start. Last month

on the 19th, they held a candlelight labyrinth down on Law Street Beach to raise money for Interact Club’s Tijuana Home Build project and to buy art supplies so that Splatter! members who purchase their own materials could still participate in lessons. If you want to get involved with Splatter! Club, come to Essex’s room Mondays at lunch, or you can enter their monthly art competitions: see the Splatter! Club Facebook page for more details.

rights have come in the United States, and we’re at a political point right now where we might lose a lot of them. That needs to be paid attention to, no matter where you stand.” While these women dealt with death and destruction every day, they often came home to no promotions or medals for bravery, simply because of their gender. The play is told through media filled flashbacks, further emphasizing

its intensity. Cast member and junior Hallie Bodenstab described it as “A great way to learn the history of the Vietnam war, and how people felt about it… the difference between what went on both on and off of the battlefield,

and it’s done in a [good] weird and modern way.” Starring Truly Bailey, Lea Papas, Amy Geurts, Savannah Visser, Hallie Bodenstab, and others, “A Piece of My Heart” opened with a 3 P.M. matinee on November 13th, and is presenting 7 P.M. showings on the 15th, 16th, and 17th. Tickets cost seven dollars. Surely this production will not be easily forgotten.

Seeing Red October 22nd, 2012 was a monumental day for all Taylor Swift fans. Two years after her release of the stellar album Speak Now, Swift came out with her fourth album, Red. Released through Big Machine Records, Swift’s new album consists of sixteen songs ranging from her signature love ballads to modern day pop music. Although Red is extremely experimental and unlike anything else fans have ever heard, Swift still delivers an outstanding album. Taylor Swift started out as a young, curly blonde- haired aspiring country girl. In 2006, at age sixteen, Swift released her first album and has

continued to climb her way to the top of music charts. Swift has been the recipient of six Grammy Awards, ten American Music Awards, seven Country Music Association Awards, six Academy of Country Music Awards and thirteen BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.) Awards.

Long gone is the innocent young teenage country star that was Taylor Swift. Now 22 years old, Swift moves further away from her country roots and into a rock and pop sound. Glossy singles such as “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and “I Knew

You Were Trouble,” are danceable tunes which are unlike anything else Swift has come out with. Although the songs are unlike “traditional” Taylor Swift, they still contain her spunky attitude and passionate lyrics.

Junior Brandon Richmond loved the album; “her music has approached the borders of many genres and it can’t get any sweeter” he stated. Although Red contains edgy and unique songs, Swift does not lose her country roots altogether. The album contains heart wrenching songs such as “All Too Well” and “I Almost Do”. The ballads contain tear jerking lyrics which are accompanied by incredible acoustics. “I fell in love with the entire album, there isn’t one song that I dislike on it. Her songs are so easy to relate to!” stated senior Mel Wilson. Swift’s vocals are as powerful as ever and contain raw emotion that listeners can easily sympathize with. Swift also collaborates with other male artists such as Gary Lightbody and Ed Sheeran, whose voices add a stunning contrast with Swift’s clear sweet voice. Swift’s fourth studio record shows fans a new side of the young country/ pop star, however, it is still as dazzling as her other albums. Red is the entire package, with its wide variety of spirited pop songs to heart breaking love ballads. As she is only 22, fans can look forward to many more heart stopping albums from Taylor Swift.
