Shayne’s world, Shayne’s world, party time,
excellent. Yeah! Happy birthday to me. I frikening
rock. I’m so much better than you. Yeah! All right.
You suck. All right, just joking. My birthday is next
Monday, I’m gonna be eighteen, the big one-eight,
and you know what? I realized it doesn’t mean a thing.
I mean big whoop, who cares? Really, it sucks.
Because now I can be drafted; if I leave my house it’s
moving out and not running away; really, I don’t get
anything. It’s not so bad really, just the whole selective
service thing, so with that said I’m going to Canada.
Not really.
I remember that seniors were always saying how
fast high school goes, how it’s so short and that I
should appreciate it. I realize now it was all a lie.
High school is the longest four years of my life, I try
to think back and all I remember is high school.
So I play on the Colton High School Tennis team
(hold your applause). Now some of you might be
wondering, do we even have a tennis team? Does this
guy really play tennis? Why am I reading this column?
I could be paying attention to my teacher and
furthering my education.
And some are still wondering how they got to
school; the last thing they remember is going to sleep
last night/early this morning.
Well yes, we have a tennis team, I do play on it,
this column makes you feel smarter by seeing what
an idiot I am, and as to how you got to school I say
magic.
Any way, I thought that tennis would be easy. I
mean how hard could it be you hit a bright green ball
with a big fly swatter? I was wrong--tennis is hard,
really hard. And it doesn’t help that I suck.
So I like to consider my self a jack-of-all-trades
kind of guy. I like to know a little about everything.
So I recently started doing things like tennis or skating
that I just never really put much into.
And even though I suck and most of the things I
start I never really finish, like my recreation of the
Eiffel Tower made out of toothpicks.
I know that someday I’ll be able to look back and
say that scar is from that stupid thing and my leg
hurts when it’s cold because I fell of the building that
one time. It’s for that reason I’d like to be a jack-ofall-trades, master of none.
Okay I’m sure that all of you have heard, if not
seen, Brokeback Mountain. I know that it’s been out
for a while now and that the hype around it is starting
to die down, and yet I hear people saying “Brokeback”
all over, and they’re not talking about the movie.
I mean people are like “That’s so Brokeback”,
“No Brokeback stuff over there”, “Help! Some one
help me! I got hit by a car and my back broke!” Okay,
so the last one not so much, but the other two are
perfect examples. Do we really need Brokeback in
there really?

With all the excitement that NASCAR brings to fans each season, do
you ever sit at home thinking what it would be like to meet those fast
paced guys on the track? So did I. I always wondered how they would be
as people, not drivers. Were they nice? Do they look the same on T.V. and
in person? Do they make eye contact? If I could just meet the driver that
I watch religiously on Sundays (sometimes on Saturdays for those night
races) I would be content. Well, that’s exactly what I did.
California Speedway made my dreams a reality when I went to
Fontana Race Fest for my birthday to meet my favorite men of NASCAR.
Although the gates opened at 5:00 that night, no true fan would show up
right when they opened. I arrived at the Speedway at 2:30 in the afternoon
to be in the presence of the drivers. It was cold, windy, and I still had
hours to wait. When the gates opened, there were hundreds of fans running
to the driver they most wanted to meet. First up, Jamie McMurray.
Jamie McMurray was a nice guy. He was just as cute as he was on
T.V. and he said happy birthday to me because I was wearing a ribbon
that said birthday girl. He signed my picture and I was off to meet some
more awesome racers! I walked half way down the track to find the Coca-

A.S.B. ups the ante with new G.P.A. rules
by Amanda Leyva
Associated Student Body is not as easy to get into as it used to be. Extra curricular activities are now requiring
a little more from students to be able to participate in. So those of you who want to be involved need to get those
grades up.
ASB is requiring a 2.5 GP A this coming year to be able to get in. It used to be a 2.0, but now things are
getting a little tougher. Ellen Green, the ASB director, sat and watched as the current ASB class debated on
whether the GP A should be raised. Green said, “I felt that the class had a good argument on why it should be
changed.” The class believes that too many students got in and focused more on ASB activities and not on their
other classes. That is when their grades dropped. “Every year you must look at your constitution and decide what
needs to be changed,” says Green and that’s exactly what the students did.
A little about what ASB does: it promotes school spirit and tries to get the school involved in activities. They
get the student body pumped up at assemblies and involved in Spirit Week. So if you think you’re a good person
for this kind of job it’s time you focus on schoolwork and not as much on as parties. ASB elections will be held in
the beginning weeks of April for the school year of 2006-2007.
“All of us or None” coming
Charity event to raise money for the Time for Change Foundation
By Robert Campos and Arline Cruz
April 1, the Hutton Center on Colton Ave in Colton will be holding All of Us or None, a progressive
rock music forum sponsored by Inland Empire HardCore (IEHC) and Axis Of Justice that includes
discussions, guest speakers, performers, a short film, and a vegan buffet. The event will take place from
6-10 p.m.
This is an all-ages benefit for Time for Change Foundation. All donations will go to the Sober
Living Home and Transition Education Center for Women. There will be performances by some supportive
bands from as far as Los Angeles and Orange County, to our very own Colton bands, such as Malice of
Forethought, Conspiracy of Thought, Redline Energy, Sars and the Kickmes, Mystery Hangup, and
Rebels to the Grain.
Kim Carter, founder and president of Time for Change as well as league organizer for All of Us or
None will be the guest speaker for the evening. The sponsors want youth to hold discussions on race,
economics, education and how these issues affect what seem to be race-biased and profit-driven
incarceration policies. Food Not Bombs will be serving free food! ( How could you go wrong?) This is
an all-ages show. So come on down and get your views in!

Cola family. I walked up towards Michael Waltrip and asked him to smile and he
asked me which was his better side. I snapped the shot and he waved bye. Next up
were both Greg Biffle and Jeff Burton. I waited awhile until the perfect picture was
there. I took a great picture of the two conversing about the upcoming race.
It was now dark and I had been walking down the front straight-away to find
myself at Brian Vickers and Elliott Sadler’s booth. I was shaking with excitement to
see the famous NASCAR flip-man, Elliott. Unlike the others, he had on his uniform
that he would race in on Sunday for the Auto Club 500. I smiled and took a picture of
the two and walked down to the one, the only, Richard Petty!
I always imagined Richard Petty being this sweet, kind, caring man who
would do anything for his fans. That’s just who he was. There was a little boy crying
not too far from me and Petty led him to the booth and gave him a poster and gave
him a hug; I took a picture of it and I made sure to remember that moment forever.
Although I didn’t get to meet all of the drivers, I have come to realize that
those guys behind the wheel are just the same as they appear on television. So if you
never get the chance to meet them, take it from me, they are all the nicest guys I have
ever met. It was an experience of a lifetime and I fully recommend that next year
when the Auto Club 500 comes around, go to Fontana Race Fest and meet the drivers.
God Bless the sport of NASCAR!

The Mikado takes the stage
by Divya Joseph
The Mikado, this year’s spring musical, has brought diversity into Colton high school’s theatrics. Previously
held musicals and plays were based on stories set in the U.S, but The Mikado, written by Gilbert and Sullivan and first
produced over 120 years ago, is set in ancient Japan.
A year before the action begins, young and handsome Nanki-poo who is the son of the Mikado (the emperor of
Japan) flees his father’s court to escape marriage with Katisha, an old and unattractive woman. He is camouflaged as a
traveling musician; while in hiding, he falls in love with a lady named Yum-yum. But she is already betrothed. The play
is basically about the complications the lovers face to attain what they want. “Even though the story line is simple, from
the performer’s point of view it is more complicated because of all the live singing,” says sophomore Derek Roberts.
“Imagine if they croaked.”
The performance on Friday March 17 kept the audience entertained and they filled the air with pleasant laughter.
“I adored it, it was hilarious,” said sophomore Karina Jacques. “This is the first time I’ve attended a musical at Colton
high school, now I think I will be coming to every play and musical held here.”
Some VIP audience members, six year old Jaiden and nine year old Deontre Holmes (who happen to be sophomore
Brooklyn El fattal’s siblings) were
sitting in the front row and squealing
Cast of “The Mikado”
with laughter. They said that they
loved the operetta because of the
music and the performance of the
talented actors. “The fun part was when the actors hit each other with the fans they had
in their hands.”
A fascinating thing that a lot of people have commented on is the attention-grabbing
makeup adorned by the actors. Their faces were painted white and a lot of makeup is
also pancaked on. Since the characters were supposed to be Japanese and the actors were
not, many people questioned how they were going to pull it off. But even though all that
make up didn’t make everyone look their part, their acting made up for it.
The actors and the people who put in their hard work to make this musical happen
say that they had just as much fun as the audience. “It is fun to work and hopefully it will
be fun for the audience too,” says sophomore Melina Flores, who is the sound board
operator for the production.
The Mikado will be playing until March 25, at the Whitmer auditorium at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets are $5 with an ASB card and $7 without.

My
Turn
Should you be branded
with the Scarlet Letter?
by Alyssa Isgett
The way I see things is life is short, things and people
come and go quickly and sometimes things don’t work
out for the best. Sometimes you’ll try and succeed and
other times you’ll try and fail. Sometimes you’ll have
people around you that live to be 150, others times they’ll
be taken from you when they’re still young. Sometimes the way things work out just
suck. Sometimes you won’t like what your parents have to say. Sometimes you’ll work
really hard and get nothing in return. The way I see it, is you always have something to
be GLAD about. Just play the GLAD game.
Whenever things get hard or your just feeling low or something bad happens,
remember to play the GLAD game. The GLAD game gives everyone a reason to put a
smile on their face. For example, a friend of mine, Diane, was just diagnosed with
leukemia. She’s had to go through the bone morrow test twice already, both times
being inconclusive, and now will have to endure the painful procedure one more time.
This is where the GLAD game comes into play. I can be GLAD because it wasn’t a
brain aneurysm like the doctors thought at first. I can be GLAD that doctors have
recently made medical break-throughs in the field of leukemia. You see how it works.
Being GLAD will just make everyone’s day a little better.
When you are GLAD you tend to smile a lot! When you smile people will know
you are GLAD and will smile because of it and so they will become GLAD too! Smiles
are contagious!
Okay…Okay… It’s your turn…when you are having a bad day; think of what is so
bad about it? Why is it terrible? Then play the GLAD game. What is something that
could be worse? On a bad day, I can be GLAD that I was able to get up breathing this
morning and I can see the world around me.
When playing the GLAD game, there really are no rules, you just have to remember
to smile, and pick something to be GLAD about. Now go out and play the GLAD
game. But be careful because you might actually make someone smile. So go, I send
you…be GLAD!

Friday, March 24,
by Sarah Kozeak
Let’s just pretend for a moment that you’re married,
you have a family, and your kids are already in high school.
They all have their lettermen’s jackets, so they decide to ask to
see yours from your high school days. What if you don’t have
one? Would you tell them straight out that you were never
involved in any clubs or sports in high school? Or maybe you
were and you just never got around to getting a lettermen’s jacket.
Would you worry about being seen as “uncool” in their eyes?
Owning a lettermen’s jacket can bring back a lot of
memories once you’re out of high school. You could show it off
to your kids (if you’re planning on having any) and tell them
stories about how you got each pin or letter. It would make you
feel good about all the things you accomplished during your
years of high school.
Not to mention that you feel special around campus
because not everyone on campus has one, it’s like your chance
to show off. Maybe that’s why some people just wear their
lettermen’s jacket most of the time.
I don’t own a lettermen’s jacket, mainly because I’m
not in any sports or clubs, but if I were, I would get one to stick
all my pins and letters on. That’s what they’re for in the first
place, right? I mean, I guess you could go ahead and buy one
even if you’re not in a club or a sport to show some school
pride, but wouldn’t you feel embarrassed if someone came up to
you and asked you where all your pins and letters are?

Are we too
old for
cartoons?
What happened to the days of super heroes, villains, capes and cool
gadgets? I’ll tell you what happened; Age. I’m not here to bash on why
we’re not supposed to watch cartoons. In fact I still watch them myself,
but were not debating on whether or not we admit watching them, but
simply are we too old? I would say yes for a number of reasons. First of
all, who really has the time to sit for more then a coulple of minutes
at a time? Furthermore, cartoons are meant as figures of fun and
laughter, not to analyze like most of us do. And who really
finds the commercials on Nickelodeon appealing anymore?
I mean the newest action figures, or Floam might be really
cool ways to pass the time for a kid that still wears feet PJ’s,
but for the caffeine craving party-going average
Yellowjacket, we see them for what they really are, a molded
piece of weird plastic and brightly colored asbestos. Super
heroes are cool and I’m pretty sure their cars and sidekicks
make for a great ending, but finding the time, the strength, or the
show worth watching can be an uphill battle. And let’s face it; if
you’re that much of a die-hard cartoon freak, maybe you should be
watching Spongebob, or the Fairly Oddparents. Cartoons have had a
good run in our lives, Batman, and Woody Woodpecker have taken part
between naps and lunch time to make our afternoons complete, but let’s
face it guys, the thought of some hairy adult watching a children’s show
can be a little scary.

“Hello moto”
by Saige Downs
“Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline.” Translation: “Does she really have perfect skin,
symmetrical features, sparkling eyes, and beautiful full lips? Who are you kidding, that’s just the layers of
makeup we put on her, so come buy it.”
So this may not be an exact translation, but if you compare those two ideas you’ll find that they both
tell you the same thing: that you can always look better than what you are. I mean who wants to sit around
in saggy skin with blemishes and more wrinkles than you can count? Well I don’t know who counts their
wrinkles, that’s kind of weird, but hey, so is taking off a piece of your body and putting on an artificial one.
So how far are we willing to go to avoid physical failure? As far as not only altering our physical appearance
but who we are inside? Apparently so, thanks to the candidate that gives diamonds a run for their money:
women’s new best friend, plastic surgery.
For those two hours where either all you can see is black or one hazy light above you and green
distorted surgeon masks, it is too late to ask yourself if you’re
really willing to alter the body you were born with? Whatever
your beliefs are. Evolution? This unique body you’ve
evolved to is yours and you are messing with natural
evolution. Or divine creation: you are saying that the
body God gave you is not good enough. For those few
days of weakness and pain it’s too late to consider the
consequences.
Breast augmentation (implants) is one of the most
common procedures, especially among young women. In
this procedure, the implant, which is either silicone gel or
saline, is inserted either where the breast meets the chest, or
in the skin surrounding the nipple, or in the armpit. And the
implant either goes under the breast tissue or beneath
the chest wall muscle. After the first procedure,
(first because a second may be possible to due
to infections, accumulated blood, leaks, or
movement of your breast and implant) you are
tired, weak, and in pain for a few days and
experience swelling and excessive bleeding. There
are many side effects to this procedure. For weeks
your breasts will be sensitive, and if the silicone shell breaks, it causes scars or a change in the shape or
firmness of your breast because it migrates to another part of your body. It may not be possible to remove all
of the silicone gel in the breast tissue. Some other side effects are arthritis-like conditions, joint pain,
swelling, fever, fatigue, numbness, scars from stitches that never fade, bruising, and a burning sensation in
your nipples. Some of these are permanent.
This is why plastic surgery is such a big decision because it not only questions your dignity, pride, and
morals, but it also questions your life. If you die on that table then the risk is completely yours. Most
procedures cost anywhere from $3-5,000 give or take a thousand. So we all need to ask ourselves, how far
are we willing to go? How much are we willing to give up? How much pain and risk must we endure to get
one step closer the society’s finest expectations when no one has even achieved it? If it’s confidence you’re
seeking, then they will always find another part of your body you’ll need to “improve.”
What book did you
last read?
Having a cell phone at school is important to students
because of their parents. Of course kids use cell phones
daily in CHS to talk to their friends after school, before
school and sometimes during passing period. I personally
don’t care if kids use their phones during this time but
you’re pushing the limit when you use them in class.
I have been looking around the classroom lately
to see how many students have been using their
phones in the classroom (talking on the phone, text
messaging, or taking pictures:) ten kids out of
twenty-five or thirty. Think about the education
they’re missing. Not only it effects their education
but it is affecting yours also because of its loud
distractions.
It is very distracting when you’re trying to learn about
a certain subject then suddenly you hear some whacky
ring tone. It’s really annoying if you think about it.
Sometimes I think people are just dumb when it comes
to their cell phone. If their phone goes off in the class, the
teacher would say to put it away or just take it away. If
they say just put it away, what will the student do? They
will get their phone out, put on their hood, and have the
volume on loud while listening to their voice mail. Or
texting: people would constantly check their phone and
when they do have a text, they would be hiding under the
desk while looking down. The way that girls would do it
is inside of their purse with the phone in one hand texting,
and the other one raising the purse one foot in the air
trying to hide it. Another is watching a movie and the
classroom is dark and all the sudden, there’s a blue light
in the middle of the classroom.
YellowJackets, do you think teachers don’t notice?
You have to be stupid if you don’t or if you are doing one
of those things; you’re better off just giving up your phone
then saying to the teacher, “I don’t have a phone!” because
it makes your look stupid.
Like I said, people can do the stupidest things with
their cell phones and those are things I see everyday. So
attention, students at CHS: please don’t be a complete
idiot, don’t disrupt others with your cell phones, and do
not be rude.

NEVER!!
Senior Alyssa Isgett
Are we too old for cartoons? Oh fiddle-faddle…be gone before someone drops a house on
you too! Too old? For cartoons? I’ve never heard of such a thing. Cartoons are part of everyday
life. Not a day goes by in which I don’t see “The Simpsons” or “The Family Guy” on television.
Believe it or not, those are cartoons!
Now if you were at home watching “Dora The Explorer” or “Blue’s Clues” some may say
you’re a little too old, but HEY! It’s educational and people are always saying there needs
to be more learning programs on television. You can never be too old for cartoons. That
is like saying you’re too old to go to Disneyland…such words should be a crime!
Cartoons are the things in life that gives us meaning. It just makes the world
seem right. (Okay, not really, but it sounded good.) But seriously, life without
cartoons would not be as colorful. I bet some of you still sit at home on Saturday
mornings in your pajamas on the couch with a bowl of cereal and watch the
cartoon network or ABC Kids.
How could someone possibly be too old for cartoons? The movie companies still
make random cartoons. They even up the ratings and add in PG-13 content just so
teens and adults will go see them. Cartoons aren’t what they used to be, that’s for
sure. Some cartoons are still the classic toons for little kids. That is why we have the
Disney channel and Nickelodeon. But for those of an older age, networks create shows to appeal
to the age group. For example, I’m sure you’ve seen or at least heard of “Aqua Teen Hunger
Force.” Who doesn’t love when a milk shake or fries float randomly without feet? Everyday or at
least once a week, I hear someone ask if anyone saw “The Family Guy” or “The Simpsons” the
night before. Even people in high school can never be too old for cartoons. We’re all kids at
heart anyway!

Girl’s Varsity Softball started their season with the Corona Tourney on
March 4 with a win. Captains and seniors Suzy Gentili and Jaclyn Logan,
along with coach Joseph Montes, seem to be hopeful about the rest of the
season. “[The team’s spirit is] pretty good,” notes Logan, “Everyone has been
really positive.”
With a record to-date of 6-4, not including Wednesday’s game against
Fontana, the team has had its downs as well as its ups.
Their most difficult game so far? “The game against
Hemet,” answers Logan. “We went into overtime and lost
2 to 1.”
This year seems to be no exception to the traditional
good quality of the Girl’s Varsity Softball team. The team
plays against Yucaipa tonight here at CHS.

The track team this year has taken further steps in their runs. The
coaches are getting on their backs more and because of this change the team
has more effort and is outrunning their challengers. Or maybe it’s the routine
they have before every race that has their spirits raised high to win. “We get
in a circle and the coaches tell us that no matter what, we’re still number
One, but we’re going to beat them anyways,” says junior Zorayda Delgado.
Recently their team has competed against
Fontana, Yucaipa, Redlands, and Rialto. Their
next race will be on Thursday, March 27 at REV
High. Be sure to witness the thrill in the runners
as they speed on by.

Baseball season is coming, but are our boys ready? The baseball team
has been conditioning since August, and practicing every day after school. The
team has been working hard to perk up not only their game, but the baseball field
itself has improved. On several occasions you could see the players working on
the grass and just overall improving the image of not only their team, but the
whole school as well.
This season started off with numerous preseason tournament games,
which unfortunately did not go well for our guys; but the team is still optimistic.
S e n i o r Gary Garcilazo looks forward to better times than the previous preseason games they’ve played. “We probably should focus
more on our hitting and pitching,” commented
Garcilazo, “but we’re working hard on improving.”
This year varsity captains Ralph Preci, Gabriel
Rangel, and Ryan Carillo, are planning on leading the
team in to victory as the actual league games start. The first
game was against the Fontana Steelers… Today the
Yellowjackets will visit Yucaipa as they play against the
Thunderbirds at 3:15 pm.

The boy’s tennis team has had a wet
start. The tennis team has been
conditioning since December. “Tennis is a
sport for real men,” says senior Jason
Frick. “And I play tennis.” The recent streak
of inclement weather has led to a third of the
games having to be rescheduled. The team is 1-3 in
league games, but is looking forward to a victory against
A.B. Miller in a home game today. Senior Enrico Danielis notes,
“I have confidence in my team, and that the work we’ve all put in this
year will pay off.” With the season half done, the team is going to leave
the other teams saying, “0-5 Love 40. You two-bit trick!”
On the verge of having a high school ice skating team, our boys and girls of Colton
swim team have been training through harsh weather conditions. “We have been training
for about a month now,” says potential captain and senior Alexander Hatzidakis. “For
the first two weeks we were running and now we are in an outdoor pool without any heat.”
Conditions have tested the 15 new members of the team alongside the time-honored
veterans revealing passion that they all share for this “more then meets the eye” sport.
Former computer teacher and three year veteran coach Rosa Booth has been pushing the
team to achieve better times then ever before just as she always has. Swimming is all
about speed, confidence, and form; therefore, the athletes are always competing with themselves to accomplish better times.
“It’s based on your times and events... as in the 200 free: eight laps and free style,” says
Hatzidakis. So what does the future look like for this fierce pack of swimmers? Alongside
countless hours of practice and running, there’s a meet with
the Redlands East Valley Wildcats on March 28 at Terrace
Hills Middle School which also happens to be the team’s
training site. The team has high hopes for the season to
come and plan on working right up until their last mee.
Hopefully all their hard work will pay off for their CBL
Finals at U of R on May 3rd.

Last season Golf came in 2nd place in the Citrus Belt League. They even sent
one player to the CIF. Last season golf’s good record was 12-6, hopefully this
season the boys keep this record or improve. The players kicked the season off
with their first game this season march 1, against San Bernardino High. Colton
won with a score of 2-47, 3-12. “The players have good talent, and the older boys
have good leadership skills, to carry the team”, said coach Reid Issaac, these boys
have skills, but there are a few that stick out: Ricky Martinez, Greg Martinez,
Justin Young, and David Kim. All coach Reed Isaac is looking for in a player is
someone who is on time to practice and respect, who’s all about teamwork, these
traits is all that matters and the boys have shown
them. Practices and matches are held at San
Bernardino Golf Club; it might be hard getting to
practice, but the team gets there on time and ready to
play. This season Coach Isaac is hoping to play good and
win their first 5 matches, maybe have a 1-0 winning streak
next couple of matches. Overall this season the team is hoping to
place third in CBL and maybe even send two players to CIF.

Badminton began their season on the right foot on March 17, with a
game against Poly High School. Despite a few set backs, (i.e. the loss of longtime coach Sandra Guidi to retirement, and more than half of the boys varsity
team to graduation), the team is looking fantastic and more than ready to maintain the strength it showed on the 17th through the season. And with several
years of being undeafeted under their belts, this year’s team has some very big
shoes to fill.
Along with coach Ed Matanga, captains
and seniors Janet Monterrosa and Dustine
Moore seem quite hopeful for the new season.
“We’re hoping,” says Monterrosa, “For a seventh
undefeated year.” To date, the Badminton team’s
record is 1-0, not including a game yesterday against
Redlands.

A Day
Ever wonder what a Campus Supervisor DOES all day? We did, and
we sent Pepper Bough Editor-in-Chief Elysa Arroyo to find out. She
followed John Sachs around all day one day last week and found out
it’s not all “Stinger One, report to TNT.”
6:00 -Arrive at School (Waaaaay too early, and it was really cold)
6:10 -Make Rounds and Unlock Bathrooms (Those bathrooms that have
been vandalized remain locked, so those of you who wonder why you can’t
find a bathroom....that’s why)
6:35 -Finish Rounds (And then begin walking back to the bridge)
6:45 -Stationed for Buses to Arrive (And students, so that no one walks out
the gate....they know how much we all want to)
7:30 -Bell rings to signal start of school day (And every one begins to go to
class. After the bell rings, though, there are always those who want to sneak
past John and over the bridge. They go to TNT)
7:40 -Check in at TNT (and look at the ridiculous number of people who, for
whatever reason, found they could not walk fast enough to get to class on
time.)
8:00 -Break (spent in the delicious warmth of the TNT room. It was so COLD
outside)
8:15 -Break ends
8:30 -Escorts a referred student to the office
9:30 -Lunch Break
10:30-2:09 -basically spent picking up trash, and removing 10 students
from their rooms
2:10 -Home
I’m a Believer!
Believer’s Club provides haven and meeting
place for students immersed in Christ
by Robert Campos
“Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love
comes from God. Anyone who loves is born of God and knows
God.” 1 John 4:7
Most people are aware that there’s a club on campus called
the Believer’s Club, but how many people have actually been
to a meeting? The Believer’s Club is a club dedicated to
spreading the love of Christ to the students of Colton High.
The club is headed by “El Presidente” Jason Frick, and VP’s
Sean Daigle, Ana-Naomi Racataian, and Melissa Medina,
Secretary Brook Digby, and Treasurer Sarah Medina.
One thing that the club strives for is glorifying the name
“Weird, funny…Asian.” Sophomore Hans Tobing
reflects as to how he thinks his fellow students perceive him.
Hans Alberto Lumban Tobing was born on Aug 7, 1990
in, “a far away land called Jakarta, Indonesia,” and moved
to America on his fifth birthday. “I lived in Loma Linda for
a few years and moved to Grand Terrace in 1998. When I
first moved here, I didn’t speak any English, so I had to
learn. ‘See Spot Run’ is a classic.” While he does miss his
homeland of Indonesia, he admits that he prefers America.
“Indo was really dirty and there’s a lot of traffic and
pollution.”
School is of most importance to the AP student right
now. “Honors English is definitely my favorite class; I’m
good at writing, and my teacher is real cool.” Geometry, on
the other hand, not so much: “I suck at that class,” he says
bluntly. He also shows his Yellowjacket pride by being apart
of the six-time championship winning varsity badminton
team. To stay fit and active, “I go to the gym and I run
everyday, and I do exercises at home.”
Between studying for a heap of advanced classes and
pumping iron, Tobing somehow finds time to help his dad

Trumpets, saxes, and all that jazz
by Arline Cruz and Vanessa Hill
Sachs Sez:
[On why I had to get here at
6:00]“I have to get here early to
unlock the bathrooms and to check
for and report vandalsim.”
[On what was found in the bathroom] “It’s things like this that
make it difficult to keep the bathrooms unlocked.”
[On TNT] “What you have to understand is this, about five years
ago, before TNT, no one moved
when the bell rang. Now, people
actually go to class because there
are consequences for being late.
Yes, I think it needs to be revised,
but it really does work.”
[On his yellow shirt] “For
emergencies...they’re good. They
make us easy to find. For everyday use though, kids can easily
spot us and walk the other way if
they’re doing something bad.”
Do you enjoy the soft sounds of the blues,
or how about the fast paced runs of a classic
jazz tune? Whatever your style, it is pretty hard
to deny that jazz music can catch anyone’s
attention and keep them entertained. The jazz
band here at CHS is doing a great job at
keeping this great form of music playing all
over campus.
The Jazz Band is a class on campus and is
led by music director Dr. Luis González. They
perform many ‘gigs’ throughout the year,
including many right here at CHS. You can
catch them during lunch in the Library for
‘Music Mondays,’ or stop by the office to hear
them perform ‘Jazz in the Courtyard’ the first
Friday of every month. They also perform
outside school, doing gigs at local coffee houses
on Friday nights. They recorded a CD along
with the concert band toward the end of the school
year with a few of their best songs.
The students memorize some basic jazz scales and
then amazingly improvise their solos based on the notes
in the scale. Every student in the band is expected to
master the art of improv in order to perform. González
has written many of the songs the band plays, and
often will grab his trumpet and join the students while
they perform. A few of this year’s members include
senior Anré Bell on clarinet and sax, junior Ivan
Martinez on drums, freshman Anthony Marshall on
bass guitar, and many other talented students.
Jazz Band has some performances throughout the
next few months, starting tonight at Starbucks in Grand
Terrace at 7:30 p.m. They will be performing a
combined concert with the CHS choir on March 28 in
the auditorium at 7:30 p.m. You can catch them April
28 at the Starbucks in Rialto, as well as the various
performances they have in the Library and Courtyard.
Be sure to keep a look out for the Jazz Band, their
soothing sounds are true entertainment.

over the weekends with construction. But don’t plan on him
diving into the exciting world of road construction. “I want to
be a nurse for a couple of years and then transition into becoming
a doctor.” He says the goal he wants to accomplish in life is to
“get a house and start a family.” Before all that, however, he
has some obstacles to overcome. When asked what he’s excited
about in the near future, Tobing says, “Graduating.” When asked
what he’s afraid of, he chuckles, “Not graduating.”
Weird, funny, Asian, I’d say that sums up Hans perfectly.

of Jesus Christ, and telling everyone about him. When it
comes to aims for the club, this year the club is thinking of
another concert, after the success with last year’s Big Fest.
This year has been a total blessing for the Believers,
they’ve raised more money than previous years, and gotten
more students involved with the help of posters,
announcements and the occasional guest speakers that the
club has.
When asked if there’s anything she would like to say
to the students of CHS , Racataian simply states, “A lot of
people think that all we do is preach and make conversions in people. We aren’t about changing people. We just
want to show that kids look up to God, and give them
comfort in being with like-minded individuals.”

“And at that moment, we were infinite.” The Perks of Being a Wallflower marks
Stephen Chbosky’s debut into the contemporary fiction scene. The book consists of
a series of letters written by a boy who uses the name Charlie to cover up who he
really is. Those of you who have read Go Ask Alice may be tempted to compare these
two books, but will quickly find that they’re much different. I would say it’s more
intimate than a diary, if that’s possible. Charlie is a deep character, who writes
openly about his struggles through high school life.
We might not know whom Charlie is writing to, but we get a first hand look at
his world through his eyes. Chbosky has one of the most confrontational and honest
ways of writing that I have ever come across. This is what makes the book so hard to
put down. This piece has most often also been compared to The Catcher in the Rye,
but I almost beg to differ, because it is not a tale of an angry teenager who is in
search of himself and is looking to bring the rest of the world down with him. I
found an individual who really saw things for what they were and kept quiet about
them. He’s basically looking for a sincere world to live in.
He faces many obstacles from start to finish including death in his family, rape,
drugs, sex, suicide, and his emotional state, which was the one thing that I adored
most about Charlie. By the end, he begins to conquer these things, and you see him
come out a stronger person, as most teenagers through high school do.
I found myself becoming attached to Charlie, which usually happens to me
when I read books. I felt like I wanted to jump into his world with him. He almost
inspires to notice the little things that go on around us everyday. His thought process
is unique and keeps you glued to the pages. I believe that anyone could find a way to
relate to Charlie, which is why I became so very fascinated with this book. Once you
read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, you will find yourself searching for ways to
feel infinite, whatever that means. I know I am.

The new film “V” for Vendetta, brought
to you by the “Matrix” team, tries hard
to be cool, but fizzles out
by Ilka Hernando
One word: Totalitarian. In “V” for Vendetta the
manic has taken over Britain, star date 2020. Across
every wall, posters claim that “Strength is Unity, Unity
is Faith,” in a very “1984” fashion. Here we meet Evey
Hammond (Natalie Portman), a young woman caught
in a world she silently doesn’t agree with. After being
saved by a masked man in an alley from being fondled
by government goons (of course) called the (please hold
your laughter) Fingermen, Evey’s eyes get opened to
the treachery of their society. She befriends the masked
man introduced to her as the ever-mysterious “V” (Hugo
Weaving) who takes her under protective custody from
the government. With his wily ways and martial arts
finesse (of course), V sets out on his quest to destroy the
world for what it has become for the people who it was
meant to be for.
Two words: Already done. How many times do we
have to go over scenes like these? We have this
fascination of total destruction where freedom is
unthinkable. It js a future where there is only one person
who thinks individually and for themselves. It is a future
where there can only be one man that changes the world.
What hope is there for mankind if they rely on someone
else to think for them and revolutionize the world? There
may be the brave
soldier that takes
the fIrst step, but
there
were
definitely others
thinking about it.
You should be
offended to be
portrayed
as
mindless beings
that only believe
what a person
with power tells
you, no matter
which power it
may be (hint: vie
for the guy in the
creepy mask).
There are truths spoken in the movie which can be
taken to heart, all very good quotes to live by from your
Readers Digest. It doesn’t shy away from the great acting
portrayed by its characters, Portman with her class, and
Weaving by his astonishingly pleasant voice. Stephen
Rea plays Inspector Finch who decides to stick his nose
into everything and somehow not get in trouble, and
the very Big Brother-ish dictator, Sutler, played by John
Hurt, who seems to be getting closer and closer to a
heart aneurysm in
every scene, all
acted very well for
a movie that
wasn’t
going
anywhere.
In all fairness,
the movie gives
you a nice feeling
of destruction in
seeing pieces of
England blow up,
in which V states
that “With enough
people, blowing up
a building can
change the world.”
Creepy post 9-11
quote; terrorism indeed. But hey, as long as everyone
unites together for one big cause right? That makes it
all the better.
Sixteen words: Wait for it to come out on video so
you can talk out loud during it.
