YOUR articles in the School News-paper!!

————————————————————

The Graham Gazette is al-

ways looking for new members to

help in covering all the fantastic

events taking place within our

school and community.

The Newspaper club holds

primary meetings every Wednes-

day in the conference room.

Work meetings are also held on

Fridays for those who can attend

(usually in the library back of-

fice).

We are always eager to wel-

come new writers, and new

events to be covered. This is a

great place for those who have a

passion for writing.

————————————————————

As teenagers, we are told that

we can be whoever we want to

be, but not many people stop and

think about how hard taking that

first step out into the world can

be. Especially when it comes to

creative expression.

Micah Keller, a grade 12 stu-

dent, has recently released an

album of 3 songs onto Spotify.

All of the music is made through

the use of his own guitar, mini-

keyboard, vocals, and of course,

the recording software.

These songs, in an album

called “Focus”, are named

“Awake and Honest”, “Focus”

and “Maybe Someday”. On

Youtube, his channel “Micah

Keller” also has two other songs:

“Runaways” and “In the Mo-

ment”.

In describing his musical pro-

cess, Micah figured out his chord

progression first by playing

around with what sounds good,

and for the lyrics, he sings what-

ever comes to mind. After leaving

it for a week, he’d come back to

it, adding and taking away sounds

- maybe even redoing parts he

didn’t like. For his first song,

“Maybe Someday”, the hardest

part was “to put it out because

[he] didn’t know if it was good

enough.” In the end, though, he

was able to push past that initial

fear because “who cares if only

one person likes it. [He] made

this so that even though it’s only

one person, that’s one person

[he’s] touched.”

As for the future, Micah says,

“[he] will always be doing

[music]”, though his plan is to get

a well paying job and perhaps do

music full time further down the

road. His ultimate dream is to do

what he loves and be able to sup-

port himself with it. For now,

however, he will stay grounded

and face the competitive reality of

the music business.

2019 March LITERATURE—SHORT STORY

Days passed, Amanda still

struggled to find someone to ask.

Maybe there wasn’t anyone she

liked. No matter what the prob-

lem was she couldn’t figure out

why she was so hesitant.

“Maybe we could make signs

or something,” Teresa said. The

two friends were sitting at local

fast food restaurant, having lunch.

“Maybe,” Amanda replied,

zoning out.

“Hey, I was thinking, maybe

this wasn’t the best idea. You

weren’t even sure you were going

to go, I feel like I was forcing you

to.”

Amanda shook her head at

her friend’s words. “No, don’t be.

It’s fine. I like the idea of us all

hanging out together once we get

dates to the dance, we just need

time.”

Teresa nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, I think that’s all we need:

more time.”

The next day, the two friends

arrived at school determined to

get dates to the dance.

“What about Elliott Sey-

mour? You guys are both are

really academic; I think he’d be a

great pick.”

Amanda nodded. “Yeah I’ll

go ask him!” she said as she saw

he was taking school supplies out

from his locker.

“Hey Elliott,” Amanda said,

walking towards his locker.

“Oh, hello Amanda,” Elliot

turned around and closed his

locker. His arms were full of pa-

per and textbooks.

“Hey, I was wondering if you

would like to go to the school

dance with me?” Amanda asked,

feeling nervous and slightly wor-

ried about rejection.

“The school dance?” Elliott

repeated, pushing up his glasses,

“Well, no one’s asked me yet and

I’d love to. Have you bought your

tickets yet?” he asked.

“No, not yet.” Amanda re-

plied. “Me and Teresa had decid-

ed to get dates first before we

bought tickets.”

Elliott nodded, “Good idea.

Well, I can’t wait to see you at the

dance.” He replaced his lock and

turned in the other direction to

get to his next class.

Amanda turned and saw Te-

resa run to her. “I knew you

could do it!” she exclaimed excit-

edly. Amanda nodded. “Now it’s

your turn, Teresa, who are you

going to ask out to the dance?”

Teresa smiled. “Oh, you’ll

see,” she teased.

The night of the dance ar-

rived soon enough. Amanda

styled her hair up in a messy bun,

with strands of hair falling around

her face. She wore a tea-length

pale pink dress and red lip gloss.

She walked down the stairs and

presented herself to her parents.

“There’s my girl!” her father

said, proudly.

“Oh honey, you look wonder-

ful!” her mother exclaimed.

“Thanks mom and dad.”

Amanda replied with a smile.

Her father dropped her off at

the school and wished her a good

evening. She spotted Elliott chat-

ting with a few of his friends be-

fore he noticed her coming up to

him. He wore a dark blue tuxedo,

a black bowtie and a white vest,

black dress pants and polished

dress shoes.

“You look stunning.” Aman-

da smiled as she complimented

him.

“So do you.” He grinned.

“Let’s go dance.”

“Yeah!”

The two made their way to

the floor, dancing along to the

song.

“Hey Amanda!” Teresa ran

up to her friend. Her hair was in

her signature style with her red

hair band. She wore a black dress

with a red ribbon around her

waist, contrasting the black colour

of her dress. She also wore black

shoes with little red ribbons.

“Teresa is this your date?”

Amanda asked.

Teresa nodded. “This is Ryan

Browns.” Teresa replied, intro-

ducing her date.

He had a fade haircut, curly

hair and brown eyes. He wore a

black and white tuxedo, white

gloves, dress pants and polished

dress shoes similar to Elliott.

The four of them all danced

together on the dance floor,

laughing and showing off their

best moves. The music suddenly

slowed, and the group parted into

pairs of two and started dancing.

“You’re a pretty good danc-

er,” Elliot smiled as the two of

them danced slowly to the music.

Amanda spotted Teresa and

Ryan dancing close together as

well. She turned her attention

back to him and smiled.

“Thanks; you’re not so bad, ei-

ther.”

They smiled at each other.

Amanda and Teresa posed

for pictures, and then Elliot and

Ryan, the girls with their dates

and then all of them together. It

soon came the time for everyone

to wait for their parents to pick

them up, the four friends were

enjoying refreshments.

“Tonight was great, I really

enjoyed it, I’m glad you asked me

out to the dance.”

Amanda blushed slightly.

“I’m happy you had a great time,

Elliot.”

Amanda’s father walked into

the school and smiled to see his

daughter. “Ready to go kiddo?”

Amanda stood up and smiled.

“Sure am, dad.” She turned to

face Elliot and Teresa. “Elliot, I

had a great time, see you at

school tomorrow then?”

Elliott nodded. “See you then,

Amanda.”

She then faced her friend.

“See you at school, Teresa,”

Amanda bid her friend goodbye.

“See you, Amanda; I told you

it wouldn’t be so bad.”

Amanda smiled and nodded.

“Yeah, I guess you were right.”

Teresa smiled and hugged her

friend. “See you tomorrow.”

Teresa stood up and greeted

her father, thanked Ryan for such

a great night and left as well.

Amanda and her father talked

about the night, as they drove

home, Amanda heading for bed

once they arrived, delighted to be

home after such a long night, her

mind replaying the night's events

in her head as she fell asleep hap-

py with the outcome of the night.

Bookworm’s Corner By: Kalie Holford

——————————————————————————

Title: Caraval

Author: Stephanie Garber

Rating: 5 Stars

Genre: Fantasy

Category: YA

Caraval was an extremely twisty,

very fun read. With unexpected

plot points at every turn and a

cast of characters that was easy to

root for, it was unique, engaging,

and stunningly executed. The

voice and setting were incredibly

immersive and the protagonist

was believable and ambitious,

with a strong sense of her own

values. The dialogue was great,

the imagery was intense, and the

sister relationship that shone

through it all was perfectly writ-

ten. Overall, this was an amazing

book and I highly recommend it!

Moviegoer’s Plaza By: Kalie Holford

——————————————————————————

Title: Dumplin’

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Age: PG-13

Rating: 5 Stars

Dumplin’ is based on Julie

Murphy’s bestselling young adult

novel and was recently turned

into a Netflix original film. It’s

funny, unapologetic, and heart-

warming, filled with body positivi-

ty, friendship, and self-discovery.

The characters are thoroughly

developed and easy to root for,

the pacing is perfect, and it’s just

a great story in general. Highly

recommended!

Senior Girls Bas-ketball Interview with Coach Sarah By: Kalie Holford

——————————————————————————

Q1: How’s the season going?

[The] season has a lot of ups

and downs, but we are now where

we want to be…contending for a

BC championship.

Q2: What does a typical practice

look like?

Our practices are typically an

hour and a half [long] - we work

on individual skills and team skills

- at the start of the season we in-

stall offenses and talk about lots

of different strategies…as the sea-

son goes later, we focus less on

individual skills and more team

plans.

Q3: What were your goals at the

start of the season?

The team’s goal this year was

to give ourselves the chance to

win a championship…we were so

close last year and wanted to get

there again.

Q4: How has the team grown

over the course of the season?

The team lost a lot of seniors

last year, so this year we were

focused on coming together as a

team. This team is super close off

the court and we wanted that to

translate into [how we play on]

the court. They learned how to

have fun playing while competing

at the same time. They have

grown as players who can fight

through adversity.

Q5: What do you hope to accom-

plish over the course of the sea-

son?

The Grizzlies want to contin-

ue developing well rounded play-

ers who can excel on and off the

court. We want our younger

teams to be inspired by our Sen-

ior team and strive to reach high

levels every year.

Featured Athlete Geevon Janday By: Mr. Mouritzen

Edited by: Carolin Petersen

——————————————————————————

Geevon has been an elite

student athlete at GW Graham

since 2015 and a member of the

Senior Varsity Boys Basketball

team for the last four seasons.

Throughout his time as a GW

Graham basketball player, he has

been committed to the team, to

the school and devoted himself to

constantly improving his game.

As a member of the senior varsity

boys basketball team Geevon has

grown into a leader and role

model for younger boys in our

school.

Geevon has proved to be a

consistent scorer and rebounder

for his team and has continually

been the spark that lifted his team

to the next level.

In his Grade 12 year, Geevon

has high expectations for himself

and his team. Geevon is one of

those players that only makes his

teammates around him better.

During this past offseason leading

into the 2018-19 basketball sea-

son, Geevon has demonstrated

an extreme dedication to the

game and his team. Geevon has

worked hard in the off-season to

improve his game, showed a ded-

ication to the development of his

personal game with extra gym

time and was an active participant

in his club team throughout the

summer. Heading into the 2018-

19 season as a co-captain for the

Grizzlies, Geevon helped prepare

and lead his team into a special

journey with the ultimate goal to

challenge for a AAA boys provin-

cial championship.

Geevon is the perfect exam-

ple of what excellence looks like

for a Student-Athlete. He has

been recognized with multiple

awards in; service, citizenship,

academics, athletics and has been

a finalist for the Grizzly student of

the year award (award given to

the top overall student at each

grade) in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

In addition to Geevon’s com-

mitment to his studies and the

sport he loves, Geevon has found

time (countless hours) to give

back to his school and to his

community volunteering with a

variety of different programs,

events and organizations. His

willingness to give back to those

around him and always be willing

to volunteer his time to help oth-

ers makes Geevon a generous,

caring young man.

Girl’s Soccer In-terview with Mrs. Bergeron By: Carolin Petersen

——————————————————————————

Q1: Why should girls sign up for

the soccer team?

Team sports, like soccer, bas-

ketball, or hockey have a male

stigma attached to them, so when

girls play these sports, they help

fight that gender [stereotype].

Q2: What are the benefits of being

a soccer player?

Builds self confidence

Teaches teamwork

Improves overall health

Develop new friendships

Excel in academics

Q3: Are there any role models that

the team looks up to in this sport?

The Origin of St. Patrick’s Day By: Erin O’Donnell

—————————————————————————

St. Patrick’s Day is the Irish

holiday of green cloths, Irish

cuisine, and lots of beer. Once

celebrated to honour the life of

Saint Patrick, an Irish patrons

saint in the towns of Ireland, this

day has evolved into a main-

stream holiday. But how did it

originate and who created it?

Well, you’re in luck because we

have the answers.

Saint Patrick is believed to

have died on March 17th of the

year 461 AD. He was not origi-

nally Irish, and instead was kid-

napped by Irish men and became

a slave as a young adult. When

he was set free, he returned to his

home and entered into the

church. He later returned to Ire-

land as a missionary. It was not

until a scholar, Luke Wadding,

in 1588 decided that his life must

be celebrated that a day of feast

within the Catholic church was

created. Many Irish folk immi-

grated to other countries after

this time and quickly became

popular within these foreign cul-

tures.

Nowadays, it is more of a

commercial holiday; however,

the symbols of this holiday still

ring truth. One of the most popu-

lar symbols, the shamrock, is

meant to symbolize the holy trini-

ty within the catholic church.

Other religious symbols such as

snakes, and the Celtic cross can

also be seen. Why be so green?

Well, green has become a recog-

nizably Irish colour and is seen

within the countries flag. Besides

this, other - not as popular - sym-

bols can be found related to this

holiday such as Irish foods meant

to be served with the feast.

All in all, St. Patrick’s Day is

a day to gorge on potatoes and

other Irish delights as well as

attend parades or church. Today

it may be commercialized howev-

er, the essence of the original

idea still can be represented

around the celebrations. Ireland

may not be a place of lepre-

chauns and gold but they do

house some important historical

symbols including Saint Patrick

himself.

THE ARTS March 2019

Choosing Your Tunes By: Emma Gorby

——————————————————————————

Disclaimer: Emma Gorby did

not write the music recommenda-

tion in the February issue.

Arms Tonite

Artist: Mother Mother

Favourite Lyric:

That I (I) tried (tried) to es-

cape the afterlife

That I (I) tried (tried) to get

back in your arms alive

That I died in your arms that

night

‘Arms Tonite’ is a upbeat

alternative song with funky and

powerful instrumentals. This song

will leave you in a perfect mix of

sadness and bliss. What truly

makes this song stand out from

others is the calming yet energetic

tone.

My rating: 4/5

Wires

Artist: The Neighbourhood

Favourite Lyric:

Light at the beginning of the

tunnel but he tells me that I'm

dreaming

When he talks I hear his

ghosts every word they say to me

I just pray the wires aren't

coming

The song ‘Wires’ is surreal,

with beautiful vocals and instru-

mentals. ‘Wires’ contains power-

ful symbolism and metaphors,

with a catchy yet moody melody.

This is a song that will make a

powerful impression.

My rating: 5/5

Music Idaho Trip By: Carolin Petersen

—————————————————————————

The Lionel Hampton Jazz

Festival is held every year, and

every year, our school’s band

attends to participate. The trip

lasted over the long weekend in

February; from the 15th to the

18th. The Graham Gazette

spoke to one of the band stu-

dents to get more insight on the

trip.

How long have you been prepar-

ing these songs?

We had been working on and

preparing these songs since mid-

December.

Is there anything that you do

differently every year? Any

unique experiences?

We pretty much do the same

things every year. The only thing

that changed this year is that we

went bowling instead of roller

skating one night because the

roller rink we had gone to in pre-

vious years had closed down.

What will you do to be better

than last year’s group?

We couldn’t really top the

results of last years groups con-

sidering both Senior Jazz band

and VOX both won their divi-

sions and got the opportunity to

perform on the big stage at the

young artists concert. We had

hoped to have the same outcome

this year but Senior Jazz got

named runner up of their divi-

sion and VOX did win our divi-

sion and get to perform on the

big stage again.

It was an amazing experience,

and although Senior Jazz didn’t

win[...], we are all incredibly

proud of our performance and

all of our other ensembles and

their performances and I’m so

proud to call that my last round

of Lionel Hampton performanc-

es with the G.W. Graham Music

Department.

C h i l l i w a c k Independent Film Festival — S t u d e n t s Welcome! By: Dylan Croucher

—————————————————————————

Filmmakers of GW Graham!

Your time has come!

Chilliwack is hosting its very

own film festival for students,

taking place this May. Before you

make it to Cannes, why not try

out locally? The event is open to

all students grades 9-12 who at-

tend Sardis, Chilliwack or GW

Graham Secondary Schools.

The event is based around

the celebration of short film. If

you are gifted with a camera, or

are skilled in acting, this is the

perfect opportunity to let your

talent shine! Band together with a

couple of friends, create some-

thing beautiful, and your master-

piece could be shown at the festi-

val.

Two lengths of film are to be

accepted: one minute long films,

and films that are up to 10

minutes long. Projects of both

time limits be placed under the

categories of comedy, documen-

tary, drama, animation, silent or

musical.

Films submitted must have a

clear title at the beginning of the

film, as well as the director’s

name displayed. There’s no fee

for submission. Films can include

some PG content, but nothing

inappropriate for school.

When you’re finished, you

can submit your film to Mr.

Florizone through Drop Box or

through a Private/Unlisted

YouTube link.

The event itself is going to be

held here at the Graham theatre

on May 23, at 7:00 PM. Admis-

sion is $5, unless your film has

been selected to be shown.

Good luck everyone! If you

would like to know further infor-

mation, or you have some ques-

tions, you can talk to Mr. Flori-

zone in room B107, or seek out

one of the various posters around

the school.
