Expensive and time-consuming to produce.
A production of the “senior class.”
A reflection of the times.

I was interested in computers so I applied for an internship. It took a lot of work emailing three Roseville managers, talking in interviews and taking AP Computer Science. But I eventually got the job!
We hear you worked at the Apple store. How did you land the job?
What did you do on the job?
I worked at the Genius Bar and helped people back up their computer and fix tech problems.

Once the 2:40 bell rang indicating school was over, students participate in after school sports, drive or walk home, or walk to the Stanford Ranch and Park complex. Convenience with Starbucks, The Pizza Place, CVS, and Tops Yogurt the high school students utilized this area to hang out. At The Pizza Place, Jake Danna, Jessica Valverde and Ellie Russ gather before a game. “I was on snapchat while Jake was in the background and photobombed my picture. When I saw the picture I started laughing,” Jessica said.

I have an iPhone 4 right now and I’m not interested in getting the new iPhone 6 because its too big. I would switch to an Android HTC One M8.
The iPhone 6 is way too big! It’s crazy, I know my dad’s friend waited in line for it. I’d rather get a Galaxy S5, but I love my iPhone 5.
I wouldn’t mind having the new iPhone 6 but I’m really happy with my iPhone. I have the 5C right now.
The iPhone 6 is too big and it bends. I love my Galaxy S3 but the Galaxy S5 is much nicer than the iPhone 6.
My aunt waited in line for the new iPhone 6 for me. I like how it’s curved and how the phone fits in your hand.
I heard that the iPhone 6 is bendy. I not really a big fan of Apple’s phones. The Galaxy S5 looks much more appealing.
I think the iPhone 6 is too big, like a mini tablet. Even though I have an Android Centura, I’d rather get the iPhone 5S or iPhone 5C.
The bigger the better! I think the iPhone 6 is pretty cool. I’d trade my iPhone 5C to the iPhone 6.

Android vs. iPhone Customer ReviewJaskirat Hothi, Apple lady
On September 19, Apple introduced their biggest and thinnest phones yet to compete with other flagship smartphones. Expanding from the iPhone 5s and 5c’s 4-inch display screen, Apple released the iPhone 6 with a 4.7 inch screen and the iPhone 6 Plus with a 5.5 inch screen. The new iPhone 6 was now thinner than ever and it also sports a new retina display with 326 pixels per inch, while its counterpart the 6 plus garners 401 pixels per inch.

IT IS“EMPOWERING.” LAUREN JORDAN, 11
A NEW IDENTITY/ Performing the part of a prima donna, junior Marissa Suazo plays Dorothy Brock, a stereotypical, sassy and temperamental movie star who has to have everything her way. “Dorothy Brock was the most challenging character I’ve ever played,” Suazo said. “It took a lot of rehearsal to create a believable character that was different from whom I am as a person.” Photo by Hayley Bridges
As the lights dimmed, silence overtook the auditorium in anticipation of the opening night performance Jan. 31 of “42nd Street.” The musical took months of preparation and
combined the efforts of the entire fine arts department. Backstage, cast members applied the finishing touch-ups on their makeup, and the crew scrambled to finalize all the props and set pieces created by tech theatre and art students. “Getting everything ready before opening night and then changing the sets and props was really quick and became a little hectic, but I think it was all good because we practiced before, did things within a time frame and everyone helped each other out,” junior Karina Guzman said. Meanwhile, band students in the orchestra previewed the music in the show with “Overture” as cast members quickly took their places behind the curtain. “Having the opportunity to play with the orchestra as a freshman was hard and challenging at first, but as I got help from Mr. Hull and some upperclassmen it became easier,” freshman
Marco Munoz said. “I plan on continuing to play with the orchestra every year of high school because the experience made me a much better player.” From learning the basics to perfecting a triple-time step, cast members of the musical also spent countless hours perfecting the art of tap so that the production of “42nd Street” would be authentic for the audience and the Betty Buckley Awards judges. “The hours we spent on learning how to tap dance were very intense,” sophomore Skyler Martin said. “ We practically started right after the “To Kill a Mockingbird” production, and the tap rehearsals after school became more often in December.” After months of memorizing lines, practicing music, learning how to tap and constructing the set, the curtain rose for opening night. “The lights, the darkness, the sounds and the silence are all part of the excitement of being in the musical,” junior Long Ho said. “Tears and sweat go into it for a long time, and it’s really sad when it disappears within a week and all that is left are memories and photos.” Story by Cemal Qureshi

WAS THE FIRST TIME YOU SWAM cHAllEngIng?This year was much more challenging than the last because [it is] GB swim. Last year was Gators which wasn’t a lot of commitment and it was in the summer.
WHY dId YOU jOIn In THE FIRST plAcE?I swim because I am required to if I play water polo, so I don’t really have much of a passion for it.
WHAT dO YOU lIkE And dOn’T lIkE AbOUT SWIM?I don’t like the amount of time that’s required and waiting around between races for meets, although I
love the feeling of getting a better time especially when you’re in a relay and you help the team.
dO YOU gET AlOng WITH THE TEAM?Many of my best friends are not on the team, but I get along with everybody.
IS THERE AnYTHIng YOU STRUgglEd On?I’m terrible at both backstroke and butterfly, but to be honest, I would ather focus on freestyle and breaststroke so that I can at least be competitive in those two.
dO YOU RElAx bEFORE A RAcE OR jUMp AROUnd TO gET YOUR EnERgY FlOWIng?Before a race, I swim 6-10 laps to warm up and then right before, I jump in and I usually shake out my arms a lot.
