THE OUTLOOK Central High School - 2602 Edmond - St. Joseph, Missouri - 64501 November 2016 Big Fish Makes a Big Splash! By Maggie Bauer photo by Leah Bauer Cast of Big Fish putting the finishing touch on the opening song “Be the Hero”. What do you get when you cross a hippo, an elephant, and a rhino? Helifino! A line delivered by Karl the Giant is one that caused many laughs throughout this whirlwind of a tail. “Big Fish” is a story about Edward Bloom- a man that leads a crazy life. At least that’s what the stories he tells his son, Will, suggest. Will just can’t believe that his father has met a witch, a mermaid, joined the circus, and he can’t even believe the way his father proposed to his mother, Sandra. (Supposedly in a field full of daffodils.) As Edward’s health declines, Will realizes he has to find out fact from fiction. The father and son relationship becomes increasingly strained and Will has to decide to accept his father’s crazy stories or risk losing him completely. Portraying such dynamic characters was no easy task, but of course, the Central Theatre kids were able to do it! Joey Myers, who plays Edward Bloom, says the character development was the most challeng- ing part for him. Switching from a young man to a sick, elderly man in a matter of seconds, plus many quick costume change takes a lot of hard work, but Joey was able to pull it off with flying colors! Every character throughout this musical played an important role in this story about the life of Edward. Morgan Quillin, who was apart of the ensemble for her first show on the Central stage, says, “Being apart of Big Fish is a really exciting and new experience!” She also says she learned a lot about theatre from the process. Nate Bucklein, who played Don Price, felt it was such a good show and that he was apart of something special. Allyson Bryson, who played Sandra Bloom on Friday nights, agrees. “It’s an amazing story, and I got the opportunity to share it with so many people.” Nate, Allyson and a huge group of seniors are sharing their last show on the Central stage together. A lot of them did the show for all 4 years of their high school career. There’s also a lot going on behind the scenes to bring this tale to life. People in black are moving around set pieces, there’s people up in the booth controlling the sounds and lights, and there’s a crew who works on the hair and makeup of the cast before the blue curtain even comes up. And, with so many diverse characters, you have to wonder how they got their look. The mermaid was painted with scales of blue and purple and the witch donned sparkles and dashes of colorful paint. Sam Alberts, who was in charge of the makeup design, says she had a lot of free reign to do what she wanted with the makeup. “I change and tweak a few things so it’s never actually the same each night.” Some may overlook Sam’s role, along with her crew, but they’re the ones who make everyone look good. Sam enjoys when parents come up to her and thank her for not making their child look bad. I’m sure everyone in the cast feels the same way! The show has been a hit! “I loved the show!” exclaimed Alexis Buczek after seeing the show Friday night. “It made me want to call my dad.” she continued. It’s a very fun story and a story people from every walk of life can relate to. The show sadly closed on November 12th, but the company of Big Fish is very thankful to everyone who came out and saw the show. It was one for the books!

It is such a positive environment to be apart of. After she graduates, she hopes that this club continues to grow and bring people together. Sophomore Scott Le is one of the main founders of this club. Learning about what it takes to organize a club like this has been incredible. He views this club to be simple, but effective. “We make quesadillas, we eat quesadillas, and we socialize through the quesadillas,” exclaimed Scott. The memories of his first year in Quesadilla Club will forever be imprinted into his heart. Andy Adkins is a junior this school year. He is also one of the founders of the Quesadilla Club. He realized he enjoyed making and eat- ing quesadillas, so why not create a club? With open arms, they are always looking for new members to join. When people are contributing to be apart of the club, it makes it that much better. “Why wouldn’t you want to join Quesadilla Club?” explained Andy.

These 3 ladies have joined a community that really impacted their life in many different ways. Julia Stolfus is a Christian at Central and had a few things to share about her faith. “Surrounding myself with role models of discipleship helps me to remain faithful,” Julia claimed. She believes that her faith has affected who she is today. “Being Christian causes me to make a lot of decisions based on morals I’ve acquired,” Julia explained. Sophomore Anna Blachar loves being apart of Judaism. “Loving and accepting would describe my religion because it doesn’t discriminate against race or the LGBT community; it teaches us to love everyone and love God,” explained Anna. She really enjoys the Jewish dishes and how they bring her family together. “My favorite dish would have to be Matzo Ball Soup that my grandma makes for everyone during Passover/Rosh Hashanah,” stated Anna. Islam is a religion that sophomore Mehreen Tai feels like she would be lost without. “My religion basically tells me how to live; my morals, beliefs, and lifestyle all come from my religion,” Mehreen claimed. Mehreen really enjoys the tradition and rituals in the Islamic religion. “Ramadan is the 9th month in the Islamic calendar. During Ramadan, we fast, reflect over our past, donate, and pray,” Mehreen added. Feel free to go out and discover which religion fits you best. You too may find happiness like these 3 ladies. Anna Blachar, Julia Stolfus, and Mehreen Tai have different beliefs and cultures that they represent. quesadilla and share it. These students will share many laughs and memories together.

November 2016 Features YL Club Brings the City Together By Alycia Hill Young Life is a beautiful way to get close with God and make friendships that will last you a lifetime. The All City Young Life clubs are a major deal for students who attend Young Life, because they are able to be involved with their friends from around town. Schools such as Lafayette, Benton, Savannah, Maryville, and others gathered at Old McDonald’s Farm. This was definitely a night to remember. To show off each school’s pride, everyone dressed up western for a fun night. When all schools come together as one to worship the love for God, it is truly a beautiful experience. Ellie Larson believes that it is extremely important for people to come together for Young Life. “What I love the most about the All City Young Life clubs is that it is for everybody, no matter what school you go to. It’s an opportuni- ty to come together, have fun, and learn about God together. It’s just a really cool to see that many people of ages ranging from freshmen to seniors just hangout and feed off of each other’s energy to have good group discussion.” There is no other group like this to watch people’s love for God bloom. Throughout the year, everyone grows together. “I tend to be so busy during the school year with homework that I never get to see all of my friends from different schools so it has really become a blessing having the all city clubs. It helps me be able to plan ahead of time,” says Johanna O’Callaghan. She absolutely adores Young life. It is an amazing way to create new friendships and reconnect with people you don’t get to see on an everyday basis.

Sophomores Lakota Milbourn, Caleb Corkery and Haden Thompson played Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine under the name Flow, which ironically, was thought up right before their performance. The trio came together because of their interest in music: “We all played something so we decided to just get together and rock out.” Lakota said, “We chose Bulls on Parade because everyone loves that song.” Caleb and Lakota are self taught, no lessons or instructors. Haden on the other hand, grew up around music; his dad is a musician and taught him how to play. “Since I was about six I had a big interest in music, I ended up getting a drum set and have played ever since.” Corkery said. “Music is a big part of my life.” All three play guitar, with Haden singing on lead, and Caleb usually on drums. Flow doesn’t have any upcoming performances, but they are looking for new members: Contact milbournlakota@ gmail.com for more details. CHSSA (continued) “Take back Canada”-Grace Schwope W.W.E.

You may not know this, but some of those faces do not live in America. In 1982 the International Student Exchange was founded. This is a way to bring people of the world closer together through student exchange and intercultural education. Julie Haegh, a foreign exchange student from Oslo, Norway, is really enjoying her time in America so far. While at Central, Julie has been involved in Cross Country, FCA, and YoungLife. “School here is so much easier than it is in Norway. In Norway, I have the same classes with the same people all day and I also get paid to go to school.” Julie has also discovered that she loves shopping here. She explained to us that we have a very different variety of stores to choose from and everything is so much cheaper here than it is in Norway. Although Julie has enjoyed her time in America so far, she said she misses her friends and family a lot. “I miss them and my home, but I haven’t gotten homesick so far.” Julie’s dad travels the world for work and got to come to St. Joseph for a week. Her mom and brother are also coming to visit her over Christmas break in December. In Norway they have a different type of government. They have what is called a monarchy. A monarchy is a form of government in which one person rules as a monarch and it is passed down in generations. So while here, Julie got to experience the presidential election. “My least favorite thing about America is the presidential candidates. I wasn’t very im- pressed with them and what they stand for.” Another foreign exchange student from Central, Ida Thornblom, is from Stockholm, Sweden. Ida has been very involved at Central so far. She’s tried quesadilla club, ceramics club, softball, and different youth groups. The first thing Ida did when she came to Central was jump right into softball. “My country doesn’t have softball. At my school we don’t even have school sports. So coming to America and playing sports for the school was a little different.” Ida took on a challenge and learned how to play softball. By the end of the season, you couldn’t even tell that she had never played before. She made a lot of improvement over the course of about 3 months and now has something new to take home and share with her family and friends. “Society is very different here in America. People my age in Sweden take the bus or the train and here everyone just takes a car.” Mentioned Ida. Ida is very pleased with always having a ride right when she wants it, but doesn’t like having to rely on cars. Ida also mentioned that not only does she miss taking the bus and trains, but she also misses home all together. She has been homesick a couple of times, but doesn’t want to go home just yet. Not only is this program amazing, but it’s really a great way to bring the people of this world together. Just remember to be active, get out there, and try something new. It might surprise you what you don’t know about this world! What would you do if you only had a day to live?

On Friday, October 28th the Central High School football season came to an end against Liberty High School. It was a sad ending, but the boys kept their heads held high. As far as the overall season the boys fought hard with a 4-9 win/lose record. Coach Pitts was very pleased with the regular season; he describes the upcoming season saying, “I am looking forward to taking that 3 game winning streak momentum we had from the end of the season and building upon that for next year.” The last game was rough, but the boys will continue to get better as a team and as individuals. It being Coach Pitts’ first time as the head coach for Central High School he did a great job with these boys. Junior Cade Musser explains his feeling about Coach Pitts “Loved him. I thought he brought great energy to our team that we needed and I think he did a great job of making kids want to play for him.” Cade explained further, “I would say there is always room for improvements and as a team I would say we need to continue to being in front of everybody and the improve on closing out games. At last couple of games at home were the start of the year we struggled definitely something special. with that but we got better as the year progressed so I would say just to keep building on that.” With several receiving options and a star-studded backfield with the likes of Israel Smith, the offense is not the problem. Defensively the linebacker core and secondary fail to read the offense effectively and make big plays. Only experience can alleviate this issue. Finishing out the season like this was hard for the seniors, but they know this program will continue to build and strive to get better as the younger players progress. Senior Scott Hansen tells us about the lower classmen “We had a bunch of first-year starters so we were inexperienced that showed at times.” But if Coach Pitts continues to work with these kids they should have one heck of a season next year. This being Hansen’s last year, he became thoughtful, “The home games meant a lot more and I felt I had to play that much better Sudoku November 2016 Sports “Aim, Breathe, Squeeze” By: Ethan Beck “Aim, breathe, squeeze” is a wonderful quote from Tyler Mann about the CHS JROTC Rifle Team. The team is a very unique in the way that it is mostly individual. While most teams consist of many people working together, this one does not. Despite the fact that the team doesn’t work together on a routine, they still help each other. Jessica Miller thinks that the competitive aspect really helps the team, “You always know your scores along with the rest of the team and I think that drives people to try harder for the highest scores.” The CHS Rifle Team is a high precision team consisting of 12 cadets which are spread out between two teams: varsity and junior varsity. The team fires ten rounds down a ten meter (32 foot) range at a target that is 1.75 inches Eli King (left) and Aaron Blohm (right) lay in the prone position and aim their rifles down range preparing to fire. in diameter and the bulls eye is a little smaller than the eraser on the end of a pencil. The team uses high precision air rifles and fires small led pellets that are just small enough to fit in the bull’s eye. They shoot the target. They have to fire at the from three positions: prone, kneel- end of their breath and even in being, and standing. The trickiest part tween heartbeats. about this team is that the weapon tip is always moving so they have to fire when the rifle moves across Pinning a Winning Season By Noah Young After an extremely successful season last year, the Central Wrestling Team is about to begin another great season. Last year, the wrestling team had a state qualifier, and many are hopeful that they can continue to improve. “We have a ton of people returning that have improved since last year and incoming freshmen that are very athletic. Some of them have experience from an 8th grade wrestling program,” says Trace Walters. The 8th grade wrestling program has helped lead the way for some skilled freshmen wrestlers. This has made the older wrestlers want to push themselves even more. “I just know it’s going to be a lot more different than middle school wrestling,” states Gaige Cox. The training has become more intense and is taken is more seriously in high school. Time and dedication is what CHS stands for. “Now that we have new wrestlers coming into the sport, the older wrestlers are going to have to step up, push the new wrestlers, and lead the team to a fresh season,” explains Son Aung. No matter what grade you are in or how much experience you have had, wrestling is overall a great sport to be apart of. Not only is it very physical, but it also tests your mentality. “Wrestling is one of the most rewarding sports ever, but it is not as easy as Coach Swope addresses the team before practice it seems.” You have to be persistent to “pin” a great season. The first when you encounter difficult tasks. match is on November 29th, at Central coaches expect the wres- home against Staley. tlers to improve from last year for a new, unforgettable season. With practices beginning and matches right around the corner, the wrestling team is working November 2016 Sports Powder Puff Girls By: Ella Kirkendoll The annual Powder Puff Football Game took place on October 24 under the lights on Noyes Field. Girls from all grades signed up to play and had to pay five dollars to help support Central’s Wigwam. The Wigwam helps Central students in need with basic necessities. The junior girls won the Powder Puff football game, beating the Sophomores in the Championship Game. The Freshmen came in last, losing to the seniors. The Championship game went into overtime, tied at 12, when the juniors scored the winning touchdown on their first play to take the lead. The Sophomores struggled to find the endzone as they fell to the Juniors 18-12. The competitiveness of the Juniors is what helped them to pull ahead of the others.The offensive gameplan and chemistry from the players really showed the passion that they all shared for the games. Junior Noah Young exclaimed, “It was amazing, it just felt great that all of our practice went towards a victory.” Although, the other teams were equally as motivated, anoth- The Sophomores play the Seniors in the Powderpuff tournament, while the Freshmen play the Juniors. er junior, Jayda Cunning, feels as if, “We have changed the idea that seniors win everything. However, all four teams were super amazing in the fact that they went out on the field in very cold, fall weather and did their best.” Cunning also stated that she enjoyed getting to share such a great experience with my class as we bonded and grew as friends. If you were at the games, then you would’ve seen this for yourself. All of the teams seemed very close, and looked like they were having so much fun together out on the field. The girls plan to bring the same intensity next year as they did this year. Cunning and the Juniors hope to keep the title as they plan to ride off into the sunset as seniors. Until next year, may the force be with all of you!

Basically, it’s how lazy writers like me can put very little into articles (or really any content) and still have upper middle class families eat it up. In any case, let’s get to the gravy- Another couple recommendations, designed to stamp out the voices in your head- 60% of the time, it works every time. MF DOOM First up is MF Doomsmooth, relaxing beats with break beat drum tracks and old school samples complement his style- Supervillain. Rapidly attacking the tracks with plenty of metaphors, alliteration, internal rhyme, and plenty of play with homophones and rhythm, Metal Face raps(and looks) like an old school supervillain from 70s Marvel cartoons might. Did I mention he wears a metal mask in tribute to Dr. Doom? Let’s not forget he often samples dialogue from 60s TV as well. Born Daniel Dumile in Britain, 1971, MF was the son of a Zimbabwean father and a Trinidadian mother. His family moved to Long Island, New York when he was a child, but he retains British citizenship. Originally he was a member of the three-man rap group KMD with his brother, DJ Subroc. Subroc was hit by a car while they were recording an album. The label subsequently dropped them, and MF was, as he put it, “Damn near homeless, walking the streets of Manhattan, sleeping on benches.” During this time, a great anger overtook him at the label he blamed for shelving their album and thus never showing the world his brother’s art. He began freestyling with a stocking on his head to mask him at open mics- then he changed his name to MF Doom and put on a mask reminiscent of the Doctor’s. Since ‘99, he’s put out 33 albums- some instrumentals, some compilation albums, collaborative works, he does it all and does it well. Go have a listen. Recommended Songs Accordion, Doomsday, Questions, Books of War, Danger Doom (Listen to the album. The whole thing.) Artist Rating 9.7/10 Battlefield 1 character under a burning blimp. Blimps have a massive effect on the playfield, shooting down enemy aircrafts, and once they’re shot down, creating a massive flaming crater to fight around and in. By Jason Stamper (@MBisonYes) Since the last time I submitted an article to my editors here at the Outlook, a plethora of games have come out. I use this slightly awkward opening line because I got a few people coming to talk to me when the last paper came out telling me that “Civ” and “BF1” were already released. From submission to release, there are about 2 weeks until the paper is actually printed. So, next month, my “Dishonored” review will be out, and in this article I’ll review “Battlefield 1”. Battlefield has always felt like the smallest of the ‘Big 3’ fps games on the market, The others being “Halo” and “Call of Duty”. Nowadays, I can’t help but feel like “Battlefield” is the only one still thriving. The most recent it- erations of “Halo” and “CoD” have been critically panned, while “Battlefield 1”, the problematically named 7th game in the Battlefield series, has been universally loved. World War 1 is an often overlooked conflict in the videogames industry. I can only assume that the videogame developers assumed that if there isn’t 12 chunks of lead leaving the barrel of a player’s gun every second, there’s no way to make it interesting. “Battlefield one” makes it interesting by making every bullet count. In “CoD”, you can fire all 60 bullets from your magazine into the general direction of the thing you want dead in about 5 seconds, and they’ll definitely be dead. In “Battlefield 1”, you take your time with your shots, being sure to hit your mark. Not everyone’s idea of fun, but definitely try it out! Jon & Cade’s Throwback Arcade: Beasts of No Nation By Jonathon Potochnic & Cade Alden Jon: Hey Cade Cade: Hello Jon! Jon: Have you seen Beasts of No Nation? Cade: I can’t say that I have. Jon: Why not Cade? It’s great. You have Netflix right? Cade: I have Netflix, but if it was good, then I would have heard of it. Jon: We’re talking about you, Cade, an uncultured swine. It’s truly a gem, and arguably the best movie on Netflix. Cade: Okay then, tell me about it! Jon: Basically, and on a more noticeably serious note, it’s about child soldiers and their ability to survive during a civil war that occurred and is still occurring in their country. Idris Elba is also a stud film-star and is one of the highlights of this flick. Cade: So is it some kind of historical movie, or similar to an event happening right now? Idris Elba... I guess you know it has to be good when someone from a Star Trek film has a role in this movie. Alright, you have my attention now. Jon: It’s probably one of the most underrated movies of all time, especially considering it racked up a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. Cade: I wonder why nobody has heard of it then including me. Maybe it is as good as others say, maybe it is not? Jon: Considering it wasn’t heavily announced due to being a Netflix film, and despite a small theatre run, it wasn’t very commercialized. I still love it though. It’s timely too, considering the political emphasis on racial acceptance. Beyond that though, it’s just a good, well acted movie. Cade: It sounds good enough to watch, so I guess I’ll have to watch it. It sounds really awesome! Thanks. Jon: I’m trying to help you seem like less of a failure man! No problem.
