Volume One, Number 14

THE INSIDE SCOOP
13 Going on 30
Story by: Jarod Burks
The curtain opens. The blinding lights go up. The music starts and suddenly you’re transported back to your first year as a teenager. 13 - the age of pimples, ridiculous drama, bad makeup, and cracking voices. Unreal. But in reality, 13 is just another number; which is exactly what this show is about. The preparation for this musical consisted of many hours of constant practice and badgering by the team of directors, especially Mr. Keith. The actors put one foot in front of the other to perfect the art of singing and dancing while staying in character. Senior Taylor Thacker conveys the true struggle of the performing arts:
“The beginning of every theatre experience starts with the audition. Auditions are such a nerve wracking thing. You are asked to stand up in front of many people who are specifically there to judge you, and all the other people waiting to audition are secretly hoping you fail so that they can look better. However, once you finish your audition and you know there’s nothing you can do, it’s up to the directors.
“It’s all worth it when the best feeling arises as the directors cast you in a part that they know only you could do best out of all the applicants. Next comes the countless hours of practice and hard work. Practice consists of a lot of physical activity, taking criticism, and stretching your diaphragm. This year, I played the main antagonist in the musical so I was a very mean girl. I would go home with bruised feet from dancing so much and a headache from belting out notes or from wrinkling my brow in disgust too many times. All of these tiring, difficult tasks all lead up to one thing: opening night.
“This night is so important because it sets the tone for all the other shows to follow it. The nerves are high and the voices shaky, but every actor tries their hardest to impress the audience. This year, we had a cast that was predominantly new to the theatre experience, and describing how it all felt - to be on stage, to hear the laughs, hear the applause - is next to impossible. But as I prepared myself to step on stage, I knew that soon they would realize it was all worth it. The countless hours of practice, the tears shed from mistakes, parts taken away, stress added, it would all be worth it to see the pleasure on the audiences faces when they see high school students perform.
“There aren’t words in the English language capable of describing the love of theatre I possess and the absolute love I have of sharing my passion with others. As a senior and theatre veteran, I want to say thank you to my entire cast and crew for everything and allowing me to share my passion one last time on the Twentynine Palms High School stage.”
When the Clock Strikes Twelve Story By: Rachael Lemon
Every gal needs a gown for the special night of Prom. The girls on campus have luck from the fairy godmother Mrs. Wilson! Cinderella’s Closet came into existence a few years ago to help those who were in need of a dress; with the help from generous donors and community leaders, the variety of dresses and gowns has grown tremendously!
Originally put on through the National Honor Society, this great opportunity has helped girls avoid the heavy cost of buying a prom dress. Girls who were worried that they would not be able to go can now rest assured, because they can spend that money on a ticket instead! Another perk of shopping at Cinderella’s Closet is a complimentary photo from Frasher’s Photography, accompanied by any other girls that took advantage of the opportunity and found a dress.
The Closet runs for two weeks before May second, and is currently open for any students that are in need of a gorgeous dress and shoes to match.
Getting to Know All About You
Story By: Madeline Quinn
In today’s society, being able to express yourself without being judged by others - especially by your peers - is next to impossible. But as the famous Audrey Hepburn stated, “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says ‘I’m possible.’”
Last weekend, on April 10th through the 12th, some of our own Wildcats learned the importance of doing what others believe to be impossible. Breanna Panzarella, Mark Clinkscales and Justin Perez all learned how to be true to themselves, and to not judge others based on what they see.
These three Wildcats all went to RYLA, a camp standing for Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, sponsored by the Rotary Club and held up in Crestline, Thousand Pines. There, they learned how to be strong leaders, and encourage others to learn about a person before they judge them and to accept that person’s own opinions. An activity they did to help with this was called the Culture Walk. This activity allowed participants to stand up and speak about what’s going on in their life. “It really encouraged us to come out of our comfort zone and talk about things going on in our lives that we really wouldn’t talk about. It felt nice knowing I could talk about those things without being judged,” recalled Panzarella.
This camp was full of different things that helped improve leadership skills; from games to build trust and teamwork skills to speeches given by multiple motivational speakers, the campers were kept busy for the weekend. On top of helping each other, campers were encouraged to help out with other things. For instance, one major event they helped with was a community project called “End World Hunger.” During their stay, campers helped make and distribute over 10,000 meals for the homeless. Events like these helped open the eyes of many campers.
The only downside to this camp that sounds so fun? You have to be recommended. Not everyone can go. Our three Wildcats were recommended by the Interact advisor, Mrs. Cosgriff, who informed them of the camp. On top of that, only juniors are allowed to attend. However, if you do get a chance to go, it’s definitely worth it. When asked if they would encourage others to attend, all three of them said an affirmative “Yes,” with Panzarella already telling people of her experience and how beneficial it can be.
In the end, all three of them had the same opinion about the camp: that it helped them learn not only about how to see others, but how they see themselves. This camp helped them achieve what many believe to be hopeless. As Mark stated: “It’s a good experience in a whole different world.”

His heart does not beat like another man's. His pulse does not go with the flow. If he were a lyric he would try to slither away from a rhyme. He cannot be trusted.

Family Driven Magazine
Starting a brand new magazine is harder than I thought. Getting truckers who are already so busy they hardly have time to eat and sleep, yet wanting them to send you a story to put in a magazine Wow. I understand considering I am also a truck driver and a Mom out here homeschooling my 14 year old son on the truck. But I want more as usual LOL. I want to make a go of this magazine and I will.
