Fly Me to the Moon: Prom 2016 By Brenna Connelly On May 6, 2016, the senior prom was held at The Fuge. With around 700 students in attendance, it was the highest attended prom Central Bucks East has ever had. The students flew through the doors into a giant room filled with decorations, food, and a big dance floor. The theme of prom was "Fly Me to the Moon" based off of the famous Frank Sinatra song. Ms. Kane, a special education teacher who worked on the prom committee, talked about how the committee came up with the theme and said, "They liked the skyline idea but they also really liked something vintage; they were thinking Great Gatsby but that was already done for homecoming so they thought of the Frank Sinatra song as a good combination of the two. Something classy." The committee decided to keep it classy this year. Ms. Kane had lots of help from Thomas Jordan and Courtney Wentz, student leaders for prom, to make all of these decisions. Prom committee also chose the decorations, they were simple but very elegant, which students enjoyed.

Before students got to dance their hearts out, they sat down to dinner with their friends. The venue supplied the food, carefully selected by the committee, and gave different options to serve to the students. Katie Dolf said, "It had very good variety. The pasta was good; I went back for seconds." People enjoyed the different options that they served so they could pick and choose what they wanted.

After their dinners, students headed to the dance floor. The DJ that was used was the one from last year’s Junior Prom Adam Jozefiak said, "The DJ did a good job, I couldn't stop dancing." The layout of the venue was centered around the dance floor, so dancing was the main focus. The new trend for this year’s prom was bouquets rather than corsages. Ms. Kane said, "I like them a lot; what I love about it is that it is a very vintage idea. I thought it was awesome."

Coffeehouse: Hollywood Comes to East By Amanda Molloy EDITORS-INCHIEF: AMANDA MOLLOY BRITTANY SWIFT CONTRIBUTORS: DILLON BERGMANN MATT BOUND MACKENZIE BOYLE BRENNA CONNELLY MAGGIE MOYER DEVIN O’BRIEN EMILY PALAKOW GIOVANNA SACCO
There’s something about sipping a steaming cup of coffee and listening to live music on a Friday night that is almost therapeutic for some people. As for others, it’s an event that takes months to practice and plan for in order for it to be a success. Some will spend hours deliberating themes. They will meet with committees to craft advertisements and decorations. Others will work tirelessly to master self-crafted poems or compositions of music and the end result is an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. This is exactly what goes on at Phantasmagoria’s Coffeehouse, a student-run music and art show that has manifested into a CB East tradition over the years. It’s an event that takes places not once, but twice a year. And on Friday, May 13th, art (and caffeine) enthusiasts out there got their chance to see the last Coffeehouse of 2016. The members of Phantasmagoria dawned the cafeteria in gold stars, spotlights, and a red carpet or two in order to fulfill the “Old Hollywood” theme and make the night an aesthetically pleasing celebration of millennial artistry. It’s the prime opportunity for artistically inclined students to live out their passions in front of their peers, and possibly even get a standing ovation in return. “Coffeehouse is a chance for kids to put themselves out there and to express themselves artistically,” said senior Jake Mercer, president of Phantasmagoria and a performer at the event, as well. “It’s not just about performing, but it’s about coming together as a student body to support the arts and have a good time." And that’s exactly what it is— a good time. Those who have been attending Coffeehouse religiously know that getting a first-hand account of the immense talent East students possess is an experience like no other. There is spoken word poetry that will move you to tears, singing that can be described as nothing short of angelic, and guitar shredding that will make you feel humble about your own lack of musical ability.
ADVISOR: MR. BERCIK
The most recent Coffeehouse featured laid-back blues tunes, alternative rock hits, and even a jazzy spin on an early 2000s rap song: Julia Feingold, a senior who has performed at every Coffeehouse since her sophomore year, joined her friends onstage for a unique rendition of “Clint Eastwood” by Gorillaz. “It’s a song that I’ve always liked a lot, and we had the idea of putting a really cool spin on it,” she said. “The neat thing about Coffeehouse is that every performance is so different but they’re all great in their own way. You’ll never get bored of hearing the same type of song over and over again because everyone has different tastes and it really shows through in the variety of performances."

So there you have it: there’s a little something for everyone. This year, we heard everything from Drake to Amy Winehouse to Twenty One Pilots and beyond. We heard poems about fear and hope and uncertainty. The caffeine was abundant, and so was the positive energy emulating both onstage and in the audience. When asked to describe Coffeehouse in three words, Mercer said “chill, artsy, and [this year] Hollywood." The club put an immense amount of work into making Coffeehouse a success, and it showed through in the way they turned the The cafeteria is decorated to celebrate the bright lights of Hollywood. cafeteria into a picturesque, cinematic wonderland. If one thing's for sure, it's that Spring Coffeehouse was a night to remember and a musical, magical wrap-up to the school year.

Girls’ Track Races Towards States By Maggie Moyer The East girls' track team has had its ups and downs for the 2016 spring season. With States approaching rapidly, the dust from the 2016 season is beginning to settle, and the success of the Patriots is obvious. After a winter season of promising runs and a win against Souderton, the team unfortunately lost their second meet to athletic powerhouse North Penn. However, the Patriots rose from the ground and pushed harder. "After North Penn, people decided that they wanted to push and work harder. The atmosphere switched and people wanted to go undefeated for the rest of the season," said junior Meaghan Shewbrooks. She is one of many sprinters helping to carry the team through the duration of the season, earning wins against sister schools CB West and CB South, along with others in their league. Finishing 6-2 after a crushing 76-74 loss to Pennridge, East was out for blood at the League Championships. Finishing second in the league, East saw some spectacular runs from seniors Leah Kendrick and Morgan Duncan in the hurdles, senior Taylor Kennedy in the 400 meter dash, junior Abbey Iafolla, Annie Senour, Hannah Meaghan Shewbrooks in the 200, freshman Kiernan Hutchinson in the 800, Morris, and Kiernan Hutchinson after freshman Claudia Eder and senior Julia Heiges in the 2 mile, senior Eliza- the 4x800 at districts. beth Roehm in the shot put. The 4x800 and 4x100 teams each placed 3rd. East sent three relay teams in the 4x100, 4x400, and 4x800, along with many runners to compete in individual events at the District One Championship. The 4x100 and 4x800 teams will be moving on, while the 4x400, after putting up a good fight, fell short of qualifying for States. "We are all very excited for states and hopeful to finish our season strong. Obviously there is some really good competition here so it will really help us to do our very best. Just the atmosphere itself will push us," said Hannah Morris, a junior on the 4x800 relay team running at States. The East girls’ track team is a strong team, not just because of their running abilities, but because of the close-knit team atmosphere. Shewbrooks attributes this to the new stadium, the team's 'home base,’ which really started to feel like home, in more ways than one. "The track season was crazy. The team was so developed and everyone was working so hard reach their goals. The team was so cohesive, which was a huge change from last year, probably in part because we were getting shuttled back and forth from here and Tohickon. There's a big family atmosphere, the freshmen were far more outgoing this year than in years past. Upperclassmen were like older siblings, underclassmen like younger siblings, we all feel like sisters." The 2017 season is going to different from past seasons, without the 22 seniors that graduate in 2016, but the track team is ready to face the challenges head on. “The girls on the 4x800 team going to states this year are all returning next year, so this season was really just the start of something great.” Shewbrooks said. Leah Kendrick passes off to Taylor Martin in the 4x100 relay.

DODGEBALL Swinging to Victory By Dillon Bergmann and Matt Bound A mainstay as a coach for the CB East JV baseball team, Coach Wachowski just finished the season for the 2016 Patriots. In his fifth year as a coach, Kurt Wachowski led his team to a 10-9 season record. Overall, team improvement has been key according to the coach. "Everyone has shown steady improvement on offense and defense, and the pitching staff has kept us in games. I'm very satisfied with the overall performance.” Coach Wachowski became interested in coaching soon after taking a job as a teacher at CB East in 2012. He was reading his emails when he discovered an email from athletic director, Mr. Reading, informing him of a baseball coaching vacancy. He accepted right away. Coach Wachowski views a CB East baseball player as someone who is willing to put in hard work to get where he needs to be. The freshman have been a huge key to the team's success in the eyes of the coach. "There's been a lot of guys from Holicong and Tohickon Jake Grube at bat for the team. who have made a positive impact on the team,” says Coach Wachowski. The impact the underclassmen have made can be attributed to their willing to work attitudes, and good leadership from Coach Wachowski and Assistant Coach Wolf. The freshman haven't been the only strong contributors so far this season. The strongest point of the team is the defense. Errors have been far and few between, and most games have been cleanly played. The defense all starts with the pitching, and the pitching has been tremendous. The pitchers as a unit have only given up two runs in three games at one point during the season.
The most successful part of the season was a dominant four game winning streak. The streak included wins over rival CB West, and Coach Wachowski's alma mater William Tennant. When asked what the biggest games of the year were, Coach Wachowski pointed out those two games in particular. “Playing my alma mater was definitely a big game for me and the team came out and played exceptionally well, which was awesome. And obviously the last game we played (CB West) was a huge game.“ The win over Tennent was an 11-1 romp by CB East, and the win over West turned into a 7 -6 nail biter pulled out by East. East went on to sweep West with a 5-3 home win later in the season. Coach Wachowski views coaching as more than just a job. As a teacher he communicates with kids at school, but as a coach he can truly connect with the players as the team shares one common goal of winning. “It is a different way of interacting with students that the school day doesn’t provide. Everyone has made the choice to be there... To be able to help guys out at that level is naturally rewarding.” Coach Wachowski is a player’s coach and takes their input and uses it to strengthen the game plan.

Timely hitting has turned the season around as well. The first five games of the year the team as a whole was batting well under .200, with an on-base percentage of only .209. As the weather has heated up so have the bats. Over five players are now hitting over .300, and two have an on-base percentage of .500. The bats combined with the outstanding pitching have made the team a force to be reckoned with.

Standardized Pests The mass amount of stress and anxiety inflicted on students before, during, and after the standardized testing process is worrying. Understanding and learning from your mistakes is what allows you to improve, not just in education, but in life. If one cannot see their mistakes, how is one going to learn and improve? Why do students feel as though their worth is measured by a test score?
Does the School Day Start Too Early? Waking up at the crack of dawn is painful for anyone, but especially for teenagers with jam-packed schedules and minimal sleep hours. It is apparent that a later start to school could be beneficial all around. Students are supposed to be busy and well-rounded, but our bodies need to rest. If the school day started later, say 8:30, students would be more well-rested and prepared for their busy days. - Emily Palakow

The Cost of Redshirting The unfair practice of redshirting a kindergartener is when his/her parents hold the child back for a year, so they don’t start until s/he is 6. They hope this extra year of development will push their child ahead physically and academically. But how can a teacher manage to engage all students if there is a large age gap between students? And redshirted kindergartners actually have little academic advantages. The University of Texas at Austin showed that these kids are twice as likely to drop out from high school. - Mackenzie Boyle
Animal Testing Should be Stopped According to Statistic Brain, 19.5 million animals die each year due to animal testing research. Animals like mice, dogs, etc. are used to test human products. For example, skin sensitization is tested by applying a substance to the surface of the skin and injected underneath it. This can be painful for the animals. There are other options though such as cell-based tests, tissue models, human cells/blood cells to test the safety of a product. If you want to help stop animal cruelty, spread the word. - Devin O’Brien

From Saving Lives to Sharing Knowledge By Ashley Weiss
Following graduation from Delaware Valley University, Mrs. Wodock began working in the emergency room at Abington Hospital. When speaking of her experience, she exclaimed, “That was the most exciting job… Nothing ever goes according to plan in the ER.” Her work in this position was highly influential, deepening her love for biology. “The best thing about the ER job was everything you got to see. It taught you to take a step back and breathe. It taught me how to handle working with families in stressful situations… and keeping that line of open communication, as well as practicing biology.” Mrs. Wodock recalls many memories from her job in the ER, but the one that stands out for her is when a patient would say thank you. She also fondly remembers offering clothes to less fortunate patients at hospital drives. Mrs. Wodock continued to follow her own path, and she took a gratifying job as the director of a nonprofit organization. She traveled all over the Bucks County area to help individuals with disabilities find and maintain employment. This role also offered Mrs. Wodock opportunities such as “negotiating with the county, getting funding for people, and finding out what an individual needs and how you can make that happen.” Mrs. Wodock came to recognize the importance of identifying and answering questions like, “What do students need, and how do I get that for them?” Even though this role was rewarding for Mrs. Wodock, she decided she had to take a step back and reevaluate her life: “I had originally started off as a special education major, and then decided no, I just love biology. While working in the ER, I was educating patients about what was going to happen. At the nonprofit I would train them on the job… So I feel like everything I did along the way was its own form of teaching. When Mrs. Wodock considered what all of her past work had in common, “it was the teaching aspect. That’s when I had the lightbulb moment.” Students from Mrs. Wodock’s honors biology class, Jessica Morse and Fiona McCaul, commented on her course. Jessica recognized that, “Mrs. Wodock always made our class really fun. She could relate a lot to her students, and …her past experience in the ER allowed her to add a lot to our class, so it wasn’t just all facts. She made it interesting for us so we could picture what she was teaching us.” Jessica also claims that Mrs. Wodock is one of her favorite teachers and has helped instill her love of biology. Fiona McCaul also appreciated Mrs. Wodock’s teaching style. “We did a lot of review games and Quia tests, which was different [from my other classes]. She made me want to keep with science [courses], and I will probably take AP bio my senior year. She went to school here, so she connected with the students and the school. It helped her navigate and understand what the students wanted.” It is clear that Mrs. Wodock has made a lasting influence on her students during her brief time at CB East. When looking to the future, she smiled and said, “Living in this area, growing up here, and then coming back, [I noticed there are] a lot of great students. You can tell that they are going places. Just their drive and their initiative is exciting to see. I can’t wait until my first round of students come back from college.” Evidently, life has taken her back to her roots, and it appears that Mrs. Wodock will have a bright future at CB East.
