Ms. Kane said, "I like them a lot; what I love about it is that it is a very vintage idea. I thought it was awesome." Bouquets were the new trend at this year's prom.

Fly Me to the Moon: Prom 2016 By Brenna Connelly

On May 6, 2016, the senior prom was held at The Fuge. With around 700 students in attendance, it was the highest attended prom Central Bucks East has ever had. The students flew through the doors into a giant room filled with decorations, food, and a big dance floor. The theme of prom was "Fly Me to the Moon" based off of the famous Frank Sinatra song.

There’s something about sipping a steaming cup of coffee and listening to live music on a Friday night that is almost therapeutic for some people. As for others, it’s an event that takes months to practice and plan for in order for it to be a success. Some will spend hours deliberating themes. They will meet with commit-tees to craft advertisements and decorations. Others will work tirelessly to master self-crafted poems or compositions of music and the end result is an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. This is exactly what goes on at Phantasmagoria’s Coffeehouse, a student-run music and art show that has manifested into a CB East tradition over the years. It’s an event that takes places not once, but twice a year. And on Friday, May 13th, art (and caffeine) enthusiasts out there got their chance to see the last Cof-feehouse of 2016. The members of Phantasmagoria dawned the cafeteria in gold stars, spotlights, and a red carpet or two in order to fulfill the “Old Hollywood” theme and make the night an aesthetically pleas-ing celebration of millennial artistry. It’s the prime opportunity for artistically inclined students to live out their passions in front of their peers, and possibly even get a standing ovation in return. “Coffeehouse is a chance for kids to put themselves out there and to express themselves artistically,” said senior Jake Mercer, president of Phantasmagoria and a performer at the event, as well. “It’s not just about performing, but it’s about coming together as a student body to support the arts and have a good time." And that’s exactly what it is— a good time. Those who have been attending Coffeehouse religiously know that getting a first-hand account of the immense talent East students possess is an experience like no other. There is spoken word poetry that will move you to tears, singing that can be described as nothing short of angelic, and guitar shredding that will make you feel humble about your own lack of musical ability. The most recent Coffeehouse featured laid-back blues tunes, alternative rock hits, and even a jazzy spin on an early 2000s rap song: Julia Feingold, a senior who has performed at every Coffeehouse since her sophomore year, joined her friends onstage for a unique rendition of “Clint Eastwood” by Gorillaz. “It’s a song that I’ve always liked a lot, and we had the idea of putting a really cool spin on it,” she said. “The neat thing about Coffeehouse is that every performance is so different but they’re all great in their own way. You’ll never get bored of hearing the same type of song over and over again because everyone has different tastes and it really shows through in the variety of performances." So there you have it: there’s a little something for everyone. This year, we heard everything from Drake to Amy Winehouse to Twenty One Pilots and beyond. We heard poems about fear and hope and uncertain-ty. The caffeine was abundant, and so was the positive energy emulating both onstage and in the audience. When asked to describe Cof-feehouse in three words, Mer-cer said “chill, artsy, and [this year] Hollywood." The club put an immense amount of work into making Coffeehouse a success, and it showed through in the way they turned the cafeteria into a picturesque, cinematic wonderland. If one thing's for sure, it's that Spring Coffeehouse was a night to remember and a musical, magical wrap-up to the school year.

The cafeteria is decorated to celebrate the bright lights of Hollywood.

The East girls' track team has had its ups and downs for the 2016 spring season. With States approaching rapidly, the dust from the 2016 season is beginning to settle, and the success of the Patriots is obvious. After a winter season of promising runs and a win against Souderton, the team unfortunately lost their second meet to athletic powerhouse North Penn. However, the Patriots rose from the ground and pushed harder. "After North Penn, people decided that they wanted to push and work harder. The atmosphere switched and people wanted to go undefeated for the rest of the season," said junior Meaghan Shewbrooks. She is one of many sprinters helping to carry the team through the duration of the sea-son, earning wins against sister schools CB West and CB South, along with others in their league. Finishing 6-2 after a crushing 76-74 loss to Pennridge, East was out for blood at the League Championships. Finishing second in the league, East saw some spectacular runs from seniors Leah Kendrick and Morgan Duncan in the hurdles, senior Taylor Kennedy in the 400 meter dash, junior Meaghan Shewbrooks in the 200, freshman Kiernan Hutchinson in the 800, freshman Claudia Eder and senior Julia Heiges in the 2 mile, senior Eliza-beth Roehm in the shot put. The 4x800 and 4x100 teams each placed 3rd. East sent three relay teams in the 4x100, 4x400, and 4x800, along with many runners to compete in individual events at the District One Championship. The 4x100 and 4x800 teams will be moving on, while the 4x400, after putting up a good fight, fell short of qualifying for States. "We are all very excited for states and hopeful to finish our season strong. Obviously there is some really good competition here so it will really help us to do our very best. Just the atmosphere itself will push us," said Hannah Morris, a junior on the 4x800 relay team running at States. The East girls’ track team is a strong team, not just because of their running abilities, but because of the close-knit team atmosphere. Shewbrooks attributes this to the new stadium, the team's 'home base,’ which really started to feel like home, in more ways than one. "The track season was crazy. The team was so developed and everyone was working so hard reach their goals. The team was so cohesive, which was a huge change from last year, probably in part because we were getting shuttled back and forth from here and Tohickon. There's a big family atmosphere, the freshmen were far more outgoing this year than in years past. Upper-classmen were like older siblings, underclass-men like younger siblings, we all feel like

sisters." The 2017 season is going to different from past seasons, without the 22 seniors that graduate in 2016, but the track team is ready to face the challenges head on. “The girls on the 4x800 team going to states this year are all returning next year, so this sea-son was really just the start of something great.” Shewbrooks said.

Swinging to Victory By Dillon Bergmann and Matt Bound A mainstay as a coach for the CB East JV baseball team, Coach Wachowski just finished the season for the 2016 Patriots. In his fifth year as a coach, Kurt Wachowski led his team to a 10-9 season record. Overall, team improvement has been key according to the coach. "Everyone has shown steady improve-ment on offense and defense, and the pitching staff has kept us in games. I'm very satisfied with the overall performance.” Coach Wachowski became interested in coaching soon after taking a job as a teacher at CB East in 2012. He was reading his emails when he discovered an email from athletic director, Mr. Reading, informing him of a baseball coaching vacancy. He accepted right away. Coach Wachowski views a CB East baseball player as some-one who is willing to put in hard work to get where he needs to be. The freshman have been a huge key to the team's success in the eyes of the coach. "There's been a lot of guys from Holicong and Tohickon who have made a positive impact on the team,” says Coach Wachowski. The impact the underclassmen have made can be attributed to their willing to work attitudes, and good leadership from Coach Wachowski and Assistant Coach Wolf. The freshman haven't been the only strong contributors so far this season. The strongest point of the team is the defense. Errors have been far and few between, and most games have been cleanly played. The defense all starts with the pitching, and the pitching has been tremendous. The pitchers as a unit have only given up two runs in three games at one point during the season. Timely hitting has turned the season around as well. The first five games of the year the team as a whole was batting well under .200, with an on-base percentage of only .209. As the weather has heated up so have the bats. Over five players are now hitting over .300, and two have an on-base percentage of .500. The bats combined with the outstanding pitching have made the team a force to be reckoned with. The most successful part of the season was a dominant four game winning streak. The streak included wins over rival CB West, and Coach Wachowski's alma mater William Tennant. When asked what the biggest games of the year were, Coach Wachowski pointed out those two games in particular. “Playing my alma mater was definitely a big game for me and the team came out and played exceptionally

well, which was awesome. And obviously the last game we played (CB West) was a huge game.“ The win over Tennent was an 11-1 romp by CB East, and the win over West turned into a 7-6 nail biter pulled out by East.

East went on to sweep West with a 5-3 home win later in the sea-son. Coach Wachowski views coaching

as more than just a job. As a teacher he communicates with kids at school, but as a coach he can truly connect with the players as the team shares one common goal of winning. “It is a different way of interacting with students that the school day doesn’t provide. Everyone has made the choice to be there... To be able to help guys out at that level is naturally rewarding.” Coach Wachowski is a player’s coach and takes their input and uses it to strengthen the game plan.

Standardized Pests

The mass amount of stress and anxiety in-

flicted on students before,

during, and after the stand-

ardized testing process is

worrying. Understanding and

learning from your mistakes is

what allows you to improve,

not just in education, but in

life. If one cannot see their

mistakes, how is one going to

learn and improve? Why do

students feel as though their

worth is measured by a test

score?

- Giovanna Sacco

Does the School Day Start Too Early?

Waking up at the crack of dawn is painful for anyone,

but especially for teenagers with jam-packed schedules

and minimal sleep hours. It is apparent that a later start

to school could be beneficial all around. Students are

supposed to be busy and well-rounded, but our bodies

need to rest. If the school day started later, say 8:30,

students would be more well-rested and prepared for

their busy days.

- Emily Palakow

The Cost of Redshirting

The unfair practice of redshirting a kindergartener

is when his/her parents hold the child back for a

year, so they don’t start until s/he is 6. They hope

this extra year of development will push their child

ahead physically and academically. But how can a

teacher manage to engage all students if there is a

large age gap between students? And redshirted

kindergartners actually have little academic ad-

vantages. The University of Texas at Austin showed

that these kids are twice as likely to drop out from

high school.

- Mackenzie Boyle

Animal Testing Should be Stopped

According to Statistic Brain, 19.5 million animals die each

year due to animal testing research. Animals like mice,

dogs, etc. are used to test human products. For example,

skin sensitization is tested by applying a substance to the

surface of the skin and injected underneath it. This can be

painful for the animals. There are other options though such

as cell-based tests, tissue models, human cells/blood cells

to test the safety of a product. If you want to help stop

animal cruelty, spread the word.

By Ashley Weiss After previously working two other positions, Mrs. Wodock is at CB East as a biology teacher. She is adored for incorporating her past work experience and quirky fun into enjoyable lessons and long-lasting influences on her students. Following graduation from Delaware Valley University, Mrs. Wodock began working in the emergency room at Abington Hospital. When speaking of her experience, she exclaimed, “That was the most exciting job… Nothing ever goes according to plan in the ER.” Her work in this position was highly influential, deepening her love for biology. “The best thing about the ER job was everything you got to see. It

taught you to take a step back and breathe. It taught me how to han-dle working with families in stressful situations… and keeping that line of open communication, as well as practicing biology.” Mrs. Wodock recalls many memories from her job in the ER, but the one that stands out for her is when a patient would say thank you. She also fondly remembers offering clothes to less fortunate patients at hospital drives. Mrs. Wodock continued to follow her own path, and she took a gratifying job as the director of a nonprofit organization. She traveled all over the Bucks County area to help individuals with disabilities find and main-tain employment. This role also offered Mrs. Wodock opportunities such as “negotiating with the county, get-ting funding for people, and finding out what an individual needs and how you can make that happen.” Mrs. Wodock came to recognize the importance of identifying and answering questions like, “What do students need, and how do I get that for them?” Even though this role was rewarding for Mrs. Wodock, she decided she had to take a step back and reevalu-ate her life: “I had originally started off as a special education major, and then decided no, I just love biolo-gy. While working in the ER, I was educating patients about what was going to happen. At the nonprofit I would train them on the job… So I feel like everything I did along the way was its own form of teach-ing. When Mrs. Wodock considered what all of her past work had in common, “it was the teaching as-pect. That’s when I had the lightbulb moment.” Students from Mrs. Wodock’s honors biology class, Jessica Morse and Fiona McCaul, commented on her course. Jessica recognized that, “Mrs. Wodock always made our class really fun. She could relate a lot to her students, and …her past experience in the ER allowed her to add a lot to our class, so it wasn’t just all facts. She made it interesting for us so we could picture what she was teaching us.” Jessica also claims that Mrs. Wodock is one of her favorite teachers and has helped instill her love of biology. Fiona McCaul also appreciated Mrs. Wodock’s teaching style. “We did a lot of review games and Quia tests, which was different [from my other classes]. She made me want to keep with science [courses], and I will probably take AP bio my senior year. She went to school here, so she connected with the students and the school. It helped her navigate and understand what the students wanted.”

It is clear that Mrs. Wodock has made a lasting influence on her students during her brief time at CB East. When looking to the future, she smiled and said, “Living in this area, growing up here, and then coming back, [I noticed there are] a lot of great students. You can tell that they are going places. Just their drive and their initiative is exciting to see. I can’t wait until my first round of students come back from college.” Evidently, life has taken her back to her roots, and it appears that Mrs. Wodock will have a bright future at CB East.

Poco's Mexican-American Restaurant and Bar is a popular Doylestown restaurant right off of North Main Street. Poco's is most commonly known for its fun atmosphere and good Mexican food. As soon as a party is seated, they are handed a heaping pile of tortilla chips, free of charge. The chips are practically addictive, and they are served with salsa. The Holey Moley Guacamole ($3.50/small or $6.50/

large) is delicious and made with avocados that are delivered to the restaurant from California. The extensive menu contains many Southern Californian style Mexican dishes, but also classic American cuisine. The appetizer menu includes many different nacho options and other options for wings. The popular Green MaryLou Nachos ($10.25/single or $15.95/double) are one of the spiciest dish-es on the whole menu. The corn tortilla chips come with either beef or chicken with spices, green chilies, pepper jack cheese, and jalapeno peppers. The menu itself says "Your tongue can

really take a beating with this one!" The buffalo wings ($9.25) are the other most popular appetizer. They are prepared either hot or mild and served with the choice of sour cream, ranch, or bleu cheese dips. The Flautas Mikey ($11.95) is a preferred dinner entrée. The flautas are simply tortillas stuffed with the choice of chicken or beef (or both), and topped with salsa, shredded cheese, green chilies, sour cream, and guacamole. The meal comes with four flautas, which is the perfect size for a dinner. The Build-Your-Own Tacos ($7.00) is a great option for younger kids or picky eaters because they can choose exactly what they want on their tacos. Pork carnitas, chicken, or ground beef is provided with either soft shell or hard shell tortillas, along with a variety of other toppings. Although desserts aren't commonly ordered at Poco's they do have a dessert menu including Mississippi Mud Pie ($7.50), which is a big dessert that is great to share, and freshly made Fried Ice Cream ($7.50). Since the restaurant is fairly spacious, customers don't need to wait very long to be seated, probably five minutes at the most. The waiters and waitresses are very friendly and attentive. Customers can expect good service and for the food to come out quickly. There is always music playing in the background. The music is a little loud, but not too loud that a party wouldn’t be able to hear one another. The actual restaurant was recently updated with the addition of "Poco's South." It is a covered bar area sur-rounded by high top tables. It is open seven days a week starting from 11:30 AM to closing time when it is 60 degrees or warmer. The outside seating is very cool because it has garage door type windows that can open up when it is nice outside. Poco's also boasts a comedy cabaret directly above the restaurant. Shows are held on Friday and Saturday

nights for the price of $20 and there is always a minimum of three comedians. A fun idea would be to come for dinner and then walk right upstairs to be entertained by the hilarious comedians. A popular idea for charities or sports teams is to host a comedy cabaret fundraiser. To find out more on the fundraisers or show times for the comedy cabaret, visit comedycabaret.com All in all, Poco's is a fun, family-friendly restaurant with a great variety of items on the menu. The food is very good and is reasonably priced. The addition of the covered bar, Poco's South, makes it a great place to go on a summer evening!
