Volleyball Season 2017-2018

Volleyball Season 2017-2018
By: Soseh Hovasapian
With a win to loss ratio of four to seven, the Varsity volleyball team is having a fairly pleasant season. They started off with a new coach, which proved to be a positive adjustment, and ended up having a triumphant effect on the team. According to Nareh Aghakhanian,  “Coach Armine is a great coach, and she has been an inspiration to us all.” With a few rough patches down the road, they managed to improve game after game. After asking a few of the players how they felt about certain things, it is very clear that the bond these players share is unbreakable. Most of them admitted that their attitudes make a huge difference on the result of the game, and the one weakness they have is lack of communication on the court. By managing practices and games with schoolwork, they challenge themselves on a mental and physical level, allowing themselves to become better scholar-athletes. “I feel like each win and loss makes us become closer and makes us understand what we did wrong and what we could have done better as a team,” said Tiana Toxqui. The most admirable qualities of the team are the effort they put into succeeding and winning each game and how they all get along so easily. As one of their remarkable players once stated, “My favorite part of away games are the delicious brownies the parents bring along.” From cracking jokes to spiking balls, the Pilibos Girls Varsity Volleyball team has managed to squeeze their way into our hearts, compelling us to root for them at every game throughout their season. #GoEagles

Winter Formal

At 12:15 on Friday, January 19, students rushed out of the Abcarian building halls, hoping they would have enough time to get ready for the long awaited, formal. Guys put on their best suits and the girls slipped into their best dresses, anxiously waiting to see what their friends are going to wear. Members of specific grade levels gathered earlier together to start the celebration and take lots of pictures. Soon students started rolling into the beautifully decorated hall in Metropol. The night started off with dining, along with the occasional dancing to the Armenian music being played. However, as the music got more intense, students could not get off the dance floor. The rhythmic beats of Armenian, Arabic, Spanish, and English music filled the hall and the bodies of the students. They took a quick break for some water and kebab, but quickly stood back up to continue dancing. Towards the end of the night, we celebrated Mr. McCrory’s and junior Veronica Mkhsi-Gevokian’s birthdays ...

Politics: Kavanaugh

Kavanaugh By Nayiri Artounians In the past couple of months, the Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearing has rocked the whole nation. In the midst of #Metoo and Time’s Up, sexual assault allegations have been brought up against what is supposed to be the epitome of justice and honor: a Supreme Court nominee.     Decades later, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford came out to speak her allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh was being reviewed for the position of Supreme Court Justice. This was the last straw for Dr. Ford: she talked of a sexual assault during high school done to her by Kavanaugh. During the testimony, Dr. Ford said, “ I am here today not because I want to be. I believe it is my civic duty to tell you what happened to me while Brett Kavanaugh and I were in high school.” And she proceeded to tell her story about her harrowing ordeal. About the bed, about Kavanaugh’s hands on her mouth, about the laughter of others and about the fear of not surviving.   ...
