Welcome to the all new and innovated Triple T, Tower’s
student made newspaper! In this paper each student
enters a piece that he or she has made. Each student
writes about a topic of his or her choosing. This allows
the students to write about a topic that they are
passionate about. They also take the pictures and
assemble the format of the paper! This trimester we are
very excited to present these articles. Refer to the left

SCONES BY GRACE
RECIPIE
Triple Chocolate
Scones
1/3 cup granulated
sugar 2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking
powder
1/2 teaspoon baking
soda
pinch of salt (about
1/8th teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
extract
1/2 cup butter, cold
1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg
1/2 cup semi-sweet
chocolate chips
1/2 cup milk
chocolate chips
1/2 bar of white
chocolate, chopped
into smaller pieces
large sugar crystals
These single serving, biscuit-like cakes are delicious with a close,
historical tie to European culture. Scones originated in Scotland,
and started out as a flat, round, tough bread. Scones became popular
in England, Australia, and the Americas. Scone recipes are usually
not found in everyday cook books. Scones are usually a family held
recipe. Scones are usually round or triangular, but professionally
made scones can take on more complex shapes, like hexagons. Scones
can take on a variety of flavors, both sweet and savory. Savory and
sweet scones can include many ingredients. For savory scones, bacon,
cheese, and scallions are commonly found ingredients. When
making sweet scones nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate and add a nice
flavor. Scones can be topped with butter, cream cheese, glaze, or
clotted cream. Clotted cream is whole fat cow's milk that is heated
over night. After it is cooked, the cream takes on a butter-like
consistency.
The recipe below was prepared and served to the Journalism class. Here are
just a few things they had to say about them"Just tried the cranberry scone, so amazing. Great job, I loved it!"- Emma
Pearlstein
"The next sliced bread"- Haley Andreasen
"The scones were perfectly sweet and a little tart from the cranberries."Caroline Craig
"Great scones, perfectly cooked and well put together with the chocolate"Will Twadell
Here is the recipe if you want to make these amazing treats at home! (The
scones that the Journalism class sampled contained dried cranberries and
toffee, as well as chocolate).

The leaked, low quality, iPhone
pictures of Nike's new basketball
shoes have many people asking
questions about what this shoe may
be, and the rumors sure have been
piling up.
Nike Unveils New
Lebron 13
The new shoe is set to come out on October 10th
in the "Medium Berry/Pure Platinum-Court
Purple-Black," color (maroon/berry). A red and
white color is supposed to come out on October
24th too. The shoe is supposed to be priced as
$200 just like last year when the Lebron 12 came
out. Although this shoe is a bit pricy, be sure to
check it out the next time you're in a Nike store.
Above was one of the first original
pictures that came out on
niketalk.com, rumored to be the new
Lebron 13's. This picture was taken at
the Nike Basketball Academy on July
1st. This picture clearly shows Lebron
James playing basketball with the
"mystery shoe" on his feet. The
mysterious shoes has been officially
declared the new Nike Lebron 13 and
more pictures have followed since the
original unclear iPhone pictures. The
sneaker world has been given pictures
of the new shoe appearing in a grade
school version (kids size) as well, but
this time in a red and blue color-way.
Personally I think this shoe is the best looking
"Lebron" that has came out, along with the Lebron
4's. I think that this shoe really fits Lebron's style of
basketball, which displays power, but also shows the
sharp quick and mental part of the game too. I
would definitely buy this shoe, that is if I had $200,
and I am looking forward to see the man himself
wear them during this season.

Frilled Shark
Humans do not usually have a
meeting with a Frill Shark. They are
found 5,000 ft below the surface. The
males are 3.2-3.6 ft and the females
are 4.4-4.9 ft. Both sharks can reach
up to 6.4 ft. The Frilled Shark has
300 teeth and they are very good for
catching prey because they can hold
on to the catch.
Vampire Squid
The vampire is found 10,000ft below
the ocean. Their eyes are huge for
their body. The squid is named from
their arms. They have eight arms
which are webbed shaped.
Pacific Viperfish
The Pacific viperfish has clear and
pointy teeth. This fish cannot even
close its mouth. These fish are usually
8 inches long. They usually roam the
deep sea up to thirteen thousand feet
deep.
2007 a fisherman from
Japan found a Frilled
Shark swimming at the
surface. They think it was
swimming so near the
surface because it was sick.
The vampire squid is becoming extinct
because of how the ocean is heating up.
Pollution and destruction of their
natural habitats have been Affecting
the numbers of remaining vampire
The Pacific Viper Fish has a long spine in its back that comes out of its
head. They are very attracted to light and some enemies use that as a
weakness for the fish by using it to get away when being attacked. They
can attract prey by being perfectly still and making the other fish think
they are dead and then attacking when they get close. These fish can go for
a log period of time without eating which can be important because when
it's so deep in the ocean, there is not a lot of food.

MEET THE PRE-K
Meet the Pre-K! They are a happy group of kids filled with tons of energy. The first full
week of school we interviewed 5 upbeat kids who are excited for their first year at Tower.
Pre-K at Tower is a year of learning, having fun, and adjusting to a new setting. Starting
a brand new year at a brand new school can be nerve racking for anyone at any age.
These are 5 bright eyed Pre-Kers who are plowing through the beginning of this year
with smiles and laughter. An interview was held for these kids in the late afternoon of a
day in September. A handful of questions were asked to the kids allowing us to get to
know them better. These kids were champions who did not get stuck on any question.
Some of the questions included simple ones such as what their favorite color was, to the
complex questions of what their favorite thing in the whole world was.
Fighter Jax had a unique
answer of ‘tiger stripes’ after
being asked what his
favorite color was, and stated
every question in fighter
position. Redheaded Bay
had explained her love of
pasta as she answered most
of her questions with either
pasta, heart, or pink.
Ainsley had been glued to
her favorite toy in the pre-k,
a stuffed animal frog, but
this frog couldn’t even
compare to her love for her
parents. Rhory had shown
his silly side while
exclaiming a passion for
Oreos and apple picking.
Paige had a serious love for
tacos. Almost every question
was answered with “taco.”
Her famous quote was “I
love tacos, tacos, tacos,
tacos!” These playful and
silly Pre-K students are on
their way to a successful
year with laughter and fun!
Below is a a crossword puzzle about the 5 Pre-K students. Use the interview from
the first page to complete the crossword. The crossword uses the first and last
names of the Pre-K students. Check out the next issue of the Triple-T for the

Inside Out Review
In the 2015 fun, adventurous, and heart warming,
animated summer hit, 11 year old Riley just moved from
Minnesota to California and her emotions go on a
journey. Her emotions are tested as she starts a new
school, leaves her old friends, and has to play on a
different hockey team.
The movie Inside Out, directed by Pete Docter
and Ronnie del Carmen has many different celebrities as
voice overs. They include Amy Poller as Joy, Phyllis
Smith as Sadness, and Kaitlyn Dias as Riley. The
animation is bright and lively throughout the movie.
This movie touched many as they could relate to what
Riley's emotions were going through and the journey she
took. There are moments that make you laugh, and cry
and moments that make you think. Subtle life lessons are
given to make you appreciate all of your emotions.

Rotten tomatoes reviews
Google reviews
I give this movie a 4/5 for animation, because it is colorful,
bright, and the real people and setting of California look
very realistic. Also, a 4/5 on story plot, because it is a very
heart warming and very relatable story. I give a 2/5 for the
characters having an equal part of the story, because Joy
and Sadness were shown a significantly more then Disgust,
Anger, Fear. Rotten Tomatoes gives the cute tale a 98%
average on the tomato meter, and a 9/10 people liked it. It
says "Critics Consensus: Inventive, gorgeously animated,
and powerfully moving, Inside Out is another outstanding
addition to the Pixar library of modern animated classics."
Another critic said, "Stunningly original concept that will
not only delight and entertain the companies massive
worldwide audience, but also promises to forever change
the way people think about the way people think," - Peter
Debruge, Variety. This movie is made for all ages. It is a
wonderful treat to watch, and connects you to all of your
emotions.
Everything You Want to
Know About Starbucks
As most people
know the two most
popular coffee
brand names are
Dunkin Donuts and
Starbucks. These
two coffee brands
have been
competitors for a
while now. There
are ups and downs
to both Dunkin
Donuts and
Starbucks. Dunkin
Donuts was created
in the 1950's, while
Starbucks was
created in the
1970's. Starbucks
also has better hot
coffee and Dunkin
Donuts has better
iced coffee. Every
season you see a
Starbucks cup that
matches with the
season, and you see
a Dunkin Donuts
cup and it's the
plain old normal
cup.
Did you know that Starbucks was founded in the year
1971? Two teachers and a writer decided to make the
famous coffee brand Starbucks. Jerry Baldwin was an
English teacher. Zev Siegl was a history teacher, and
Gordon Bowker was a history teacher. The new
Starbucks owner is a 72 year old man named Howard
Schultz.The name Starbucks was inspired by Moby
Dick.
There is also a secret menu for Starbucks. It show
drinks that they do not show on the regular menu.
There are 5 sizes of Starbucks drinks. Most people
only know 3. The 3 most common Starbucks sizes are
tall, grande, and venti. All of the Starbucks size
names are short, tall, grande, venti, and trenta. The
short is a kids size. It is an extra small. The tall is a
small, the grande is a medium, the venti is a large,
and the trenta is the extra large. The Starbucks size
trenta can hold more liquid than an average sized
stomach. The Pumpkin Spice Latte was created by a
Stanford basketball player Peter Duke in January
2003.
There are many
interesting facts
about Starbucks
that I did not
know. Last year
Starbucks made
over $10.7
Billion. Starbucks
was a big
supporter of the
legalization of
same sex
marriage. 20% of
Starbucks
customers come to
Starbucks about
16 times a month.
These customers
would be known
as loyal
customers. In
some places living
near a Starbucks
can increase the
price of your
house, and your
house value.
Starbucks has better seasonal coffee, and drinks. The most popular fall drink is the
Pumpkin spice latte and only Starbucks has those. Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts are
pretty alike when it comes to the frozen drinks. The Frappuccinos from Starbucks are
similar to the coolattas from Dunkin Donuts. The prices is what puts Dunkin Donuts in
the lead, a price of a small coolatta is $2.59 and a frappuccino is $3.55 without tax. The
size of a Dunkin Donuts small is the size of a Starbucks medium.
I learned that it is not about what Coffee brand is better, it's about where it's best.
If you ask someone that lives in New England they will most likely say Dunkin Donuts
because New England is where Dunkin donuts was founded. If you ask that same
question to someone that lives or is from Seattle they would think that Starbucks is
better because Starbucks was founded in Seattle.
POPE VISITS STATES
OF AMERICA
On Tuesday, September 22nd, Pope Francis landed in Washington D.C to meet with President
Barak Obama. This is the Pope's first time ever stepping on U.S. soil, and he was hoping to help
with the political problems in this country. Pope Francis will be going to D.C., New York, and
Philadelphia. The Pope gave a short speech about his visit and what he is planning to
accomplish. The following is a quote from his speech. "During my visit I will have the honor of
addressing Congress, where I hope, as a brother of this country, to offer words of encouragement
to those called to guide the nation's political future in fidelity to its founding principles. I will
also travel to Philadelphia for the Eighth World Meeting of Families, to celebrate and support
the institutions of marriage and the family at this, a critical moment in the history of our
civilization."
http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/22/politics/pope-francis-us-visit-updates/index.html http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/25/us/pope-francis-united-nations-friday/
I think that this will be useful for America because the Pope will help our nation grow and
develop. He will give us new ideas to make the place that we live, a better environment. He is
coming to America where Catholicism is at its lowest point it has ever been in the USA. Less
people are going to church on Sunday's, and on holidays. The Pope then had a parade in
downtown D.C in his Popemobile, his car that he uses during parades in Italy, with people lined
all on the sidewalks. In New York, the Pope will be paying respect to the 9/11 victims and will
be visiting the 9/11 memorial. Pope Francis will hope to visit the U.S. more often once he leaves.
If you happen to be in Philadelphia this weekend, look for the Pope, because who knows, you
might end up meeting him.
Art is an ancient type of self expression that dates back to the first human beings. Art puts thoughts on
paper, bamboo, wood, and fabric. Ideas and thoughts that would otherwise be unable to be brought from
the mind into the world, and could never be expressed in words or symbols. Art does not have a limit, it
does not have letters, an alphabet or grammatical guidelines that has boundaries to meaning. It does not
have numbers that are forced to follow a pattern that can be never escaped. It is pure thoughts, brought
from the mind through the hand, and onto the medium. "Art is the most intense mode of individualism
that the world has known." -anonymous. It is common to have similarities in words or numbers, but one
can never recreate art down to each brush stroke, each wave of paint that breaches above the surface of
the canvas. Whether one believes that they are limited to numbers or letters, they must break through
this mental cage, and strive to see more. "Creatively is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing
which ones to keep," -Scott Adams.
Art at Tower is plentiful. It is on the walls, draping from the ceilings, and billowing down the
halls. Children paint, draw, woodwork, and let their imaginations sore even before they how to add.
However, beautiful pieces are often lost in the chaos of academics. In the following article I want to
expose and feature artists at Tower.
This piece is one that is often over looked. It's located near the rotunda, where brilliant streams
of light highlight these student painted tiles. Julia Livingston's (8th) tile is located two from the
left in the middle row, featuring "Julia Pell Livingston," with pink stars and a white
background. She made it in Pre-k, a mere 10 years ago. Her mom and her made the piece
together. All the people who helped to build the Upper School rotunda have a piece featured.
Dylan Klocker, Will Twadell, Reed Cole and various other students are featured here. When
Julia was prompted by the question, "what does this piece mean to you," she responded, "my first
year at Tower."
Art is a process, and not all of it has to do with paper and paint. Mr. Wells and Mr. Z are
working with the 5th grade to make a boat known as a dory. This process requires skill,
and precision. They need just the right curve of wood, and just the right length to make
sure it all comes together. The whole thing is well, a piece of art! Below is a few questions
answered by Mr. Wells himself.
Who makes the boat? Mr. Zois and Mr. Wells teach 6th grade boatbuilding. The 6th grade builds
the dory over the three trimesters. The dory is built from a kit supplied by Chesapeake Light
Craft.What materials are used (general)? "Mahogany Plywood, epoxy, and paint."Where did you
get the idea? "I build boats outside of school at Redd's Pond Boatworks which is owned by
alumni Doug Park. Mr. Zois and I had been talking about wanting to collaborate in a class
together. Luckily the idea was approved by the administration."
Where do you build it?
"We work on the boat primarily back stage, but also a bit outside and in the wood shop."
When did this project start?
"Planning for the project started in the spring of 2014. Last year (14-15 students) built our first dory and
in the winter trimester a "steam bent toboggan". This year we will build the second dory, with the addition
of wooden skis for the winter trimester."
Why do you do this project?
"Because it's fun. We love the idea of making something practical and combining lots of different topics to
learn about along the way. PBL meets STEAM"
What do you want the students to learn?
"We learn about the history of the dory, Marblehead, fishing, construction techniques and tools. The
science of epoxy, plywood, sustainability of fishing and timber harvesting. We learn about the local
marine geography and how it influences fish."
How long does it take to complete the project?
"The project takes the full year."
What was a major theme in this project?
"One of the major themes that students learn about through our work is Mastery:
Learn--> Practice --> Refine -->Mastery"
Above is a picture of the works of Lauren Zion, a 6th grade student. Along with her fellow students, she
is creating a book about the elements of design. Annie, a student that works alongside Lauren, is featured
in the below pictures. She tells us that each page is representing a different part of the elements of design.
This class is taught by Tower Schools very own two art teachers.
The second one walks through the big blue door at Towers "circle" you are greeted with color. A gigantic
butterfly, pained by the second grade, is displayed on the left wall. Mrs. Skinner, a Tower Art teacher
managed this project. Below is an interview.
Why did the class make the piece?
"We needed to celebrate the year with color on the wall in a big way. We needed to make everyone feel
welcome. We wanted to preview the year of color. (We also made the piece because we wanted to do)
collaborative work with pre-k so they get a sense of being part of an artist community."
What is you favorite part of the piece?
"I love that even though the teachers designed the black outlines the second grade is able to express
(themselves) with color and paint and texture. It was an exploration of learning by discovery, and you can
see that when you look at the piece. It had a Pre-k sense to it even though the teachers made the outline."

Danvers player was called with unsportsmanlike conduct. Now Marblehead got to start on the 5 yard
line instead of the 10. All Marblehead had to do was score a touchdown to win. That is exactly what they
did and Marblehead won with a final score of 22-28.
