War
By: Brandi Gates
The guns and bombs that are shot and exploded everywhere
Smoke and gases are in the air
The men and women that sacrifice their lives
working hard to protect themselves so they survive
Fighting so that we can live in peace
Determined that the war and disagreement would cease
War is one thing I never want to see
Sometimes that's what you have to do for your family
Maybe one day we'll live without war in happiness.

Freshman and College visits
Freshman and College Visits
Many students tend not to realize how important college is because its so far away for them. This week is very busy, yet exciting. Freshmen get to go on a college visit to Loyola University this Thursday April 29, 2010.
Some girls are very excited about it, while others are not taking this opportunity as seriously as they should.
I wish I would've had the opportunity to visit a college in my freshman year. It would of made me think about my future and how important it is much sooner.

I've been with this guy for a short while now, but we haven't talked for awhile because I was on vacation, when I came back he said he needed time away from me, what does that even mean?
-Jambalaya
Jambalaya,
It could mean a lot of things, maybe he needs to figure out if his feelings are changing for you, or maybe he's cheating. Try to talk to him about it and if he doesn't want to, then all you can really do is give him time.

On April 17, 2010 the seniors had their big night out, Senior Prom! All the girls came looking their best with their dates. Everyone enjoyed each others company during dinner. When the time came to dance everyone hit the dance floor. All the girls and their dates showed what they got. Even the teachers who seem to have some moves of their own. The senior class says that prom was more then what they expected it to be.

The class of 2010 is coming to its end.The girls have worked so hard since day one. They can hardly wait until graduation day. The girls have been waiting for that day for months now. We just hope we can still keep it together until that day. The seniors still have a couple more weeks to go. Lets just hope we keep working hard until the end.

Spirit Week
Its about to be May and usually the first week of May we have spirit week. As many of you heard last year spirit week was only three days. They changed it this year to a whole week of spirit week. This year we will not be doing the bowling alley and the skating rink. They changed it to Odyssey fun world. We will be havign different themes for each day. Beginning with Twin day and ending with the walkathon. We are walking to raise money for the Tepeyac food pantry. "We should get more activities because we always end up having the same ones" said Brittney Myers. Ashely gill said," She is looking forward for her first year of spirit week. But dislikes the retro day theme because not many will participate in.
Annual Benefit
This time of year is very important for the school. We host our annual benefit to raise money for financial aid. Around this time we usually don't bother Ms. Thompson because she is very busy preparing for that day. I spoke to Mery Alvarez a senior and she said, "I am very nervous because i need to read a speech about This I believe in front of about 300 people". But enjoys her time at the benefit. I enjoy the most is selling raffle tickets because it goes to financial aid which I have benefited from. Also nervous because of the choir. There is different things at the benefit like the life auction, silent auction, giving tree. and selling the raffle tickets. I also enjoy wrapping the centerpieces up and bagging them up. The workers are in charge of a station we also have to serve our guest and mingle with them. Our annual benefit took place on Friday April 23.

Freshman Requests
I have noticed that all Seniors, Juniors and even Sophomores have many privilages at OLT. Many freshies feel left out because of this, and they think that they should be allowed to have special events that are exclusively for freshman.
Honestly I agree with them. Since it is their first year here they should feel welcomed by the school, teachers, and fellow schoolmates. It is true, they are often left out in all school activities.
I remember that they won last semester on the logos for their class. Their victory proved that they are very talented and that they are willing to prove that to all

Freshman and Academics

Freshies and Academics
Many freshman argue that teachers put too much work on them. I decided to interview some students and teachers about their plan to prevent freshman from having academic assistance.
Andrea: "Well, I think we should all put more effort in homework and in how we prepare for test and quizzes."
Annonymous teacher: "I would be willing to work with students after school, if necessary, however students should be willing to stay and ask questions if they need help. We as teachers cannot read minds and guess they need assistance."
I think it is a good start. However if students nor teachers cooperate, the list of AA for freshman will definitely be longer. Although I think Academic Assistance is very helpful and could probably be encouraging for freshman, nevertheless, it is not so good for freshies to be in AA.

Science Fair
On Thursday March 25th, the computer lab was packed. There were many girls walking with poster boards through the hallways. The school had many sophomores, juniors and, seniors stressing out about their projects. The science fair was March 27, 2010 in the high school lunchroom. Jenelle Martin said, “The science fair was a rush and should have been planned out. We needed more room. I felt we were crowded." Her experiment for physics was called Eggs In A Bottle for her physics class . Kathy Valente takes Anatomy. She enjoyed the science fair. From the Anatomy class, she was a winner for first place. Kathy said, “My hard work really paid off." Overall it went very well. Many girls put their efforts into making their poster boards and explaining them to the judges. Ms. Stephens said that the judges were impressed by the way the students presented themselves. Many of us enjoyed the science fair. The incoming seniors cannot wait for next year’s science fair that will be hosted by the school.

Annual Benefit
by:Rocio Cardenas
The annual Benefit is this Friday, April 23, 2010. The Benefit is our annual fundraiser. The school raises a lot of money! A few sophomores, Mariana Buzo, Yarizta Lopez, Esbeidy Martinez, and Yvette LaTorre are helping out with the Benefit. Each person has a job at a certain time. The schedule has to be followed. Everyone is stressing out, including the Sophomores. There's so much going on. At least they already have their outfits! This is their first time working the Benefit, so it's pretty overwhelming. Thursday and Friday are going to be long and stressful days, especially for Mrs. Thompson.

Academics
After almost two weeks of Spring Break, we have to be ready to continue with our studies no matter
how good or bad our vacations went. We have to enjoy our last weeks of school. So girls, work harder then ever.
Academic Assistance still goes on for the next couple of weeks, until Progress Reports day arrives, which will obviously tell students whether they have AA or not.
Since our last report card a fair amount of students were out of Academic Assistance and staff hope to continue that way.
Although staying after school for an hour and a half is absolutely no fun, it is a crucial time where we can get help and work on our weak subjects. AA time should be used wisely because it can really help us improve our grades.
Academics
Girls, how are you doing in school? Do you realize we have only have a few weeks until this school year is over?! But don't get distracted because the summer weather is already here. Keep up with your classes no matter how hard it
can be.
The teachers are still working hard on each chapter and lesson. The junior chemistry class recently had a calorimetry lab and are excited to start their new chapter on acids and bases.
Another class working hard this week is Ms. Jamieson's
U.S History class. They recently took a chapter test based on annexation and independence of other countries like
Japan, Latin America, China, Guam and some other countries. Starting April 19, the class will cover World
War I and start on their stressful junior research papers. They hope to cover WWI within a few days so that they can get started on their papers

Juniors' Journey!
This year the Juniors are very upset! All the other years, the teachers told us we could not do a skit for the talent show. We have been waiting for this chance for three years. This year, we started writing our skit and planning out our play. We have been looking forward for this talent show. I have noticed that the seniors are upset. The seniors can go ahead and write their skit and preform their play, the juniors are doing their own! We understand that in the past, no other juniors had the Gift to make a play. But this year, this class will break that "Tradition". We look forward to the seniors' play. =]

Walk-a-thon T-shirt Design
by: Rocio Cardenas
The walk-a-thon is coming up pretty soon! We need a design for the t-shirts. Many students designed their own t-shirt with the front and back design. Although many students had great ideas, there could only be one winner. The winner of the t-shirt contest was two Sophomores, Elisa Guerrero and Cristina Adams.

So Prom is just right around the corner. All the seniors can't get their minds of it. It seems to be the talk of everyday. Everyone is talking about what their wearing, who their bring, and how they are going to arrive. Teachers can't even get the girls to concentrate. I guess its because its something you been waiting for a long time and the day has finally arrive. Just hope we can keep it together a couple more days.

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo, I don't know what to get yet. My mom said I'm too young to get one and to wait until after I graduate. (Im 15 by the way).
Well, 15 year old person,
you are too young, think about it, you get your tatt and next year you don't like it. you're stuck with that forever, dude. draw that tatoo on yourself everyday and see if you still like it. I did that and the tattoo that I wanted to get, I didn't want it anymore and I could remove it. :) so try that.

Juniors' Journey!
On Saturday April 10th, the junior class took their ACT! Everyone was nervous and they were all hoping for the best! That morning we passed forward messages or called each other wishing each other luck. We had to sit on one seat in one spot for four hours! While being stressed. It was difficult but we thought about our future and we got through the stress. Before we left on our spring break, the seniors gave us "Good Luck" letters.
We thank you Seniors (: And the teachers because they helped prepare us for the test and hoped for the best!

Why are so many Sophomores in AA?!
by: Rocio Cardenas
by: Rocio Cardenas
The AA list was recently posted by Ingram's office. It's not going well for the Sophomores. There are 29 Sophomores out of 39 in AA. That's about 66.7% of the entire Sophomore class. The question is why are so many Sophomores in AA? Is it lack of studying? Are they lazy? Are the teachers not teaching well? What is it?!
