LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Hello all.
It has been a privilege being editor of the school newspaper for the last two years. I really appreciate
everyone who has read the paper over the past years and those who continued to read after we went from
print to online. I will use all of my experience that I have gained while I further my education next year at
Wittenberg University. I will definitely miss Pike; however, I look forward to my future and taking the things
I’ve learned at Pike to a new school, new people, and a new state.
The last two years has allowed me to provide interesting and entertaining stories for the populous of
Pike High School. The newspaper improved my writing, social, and professional talents. I have grown as a
person and have made many valuable relationships with fellow staff members and others outside of the
journalism department. Everything that the newspaper has provided for me will stay with me throughout
my future.
I would like to thank my other four seniors who have been with me throughout my whole tenure as editor: Cameron Thomas, JaEisha Jones, Addie Jacobs, and Cierra Barnett. They have been very helpful in getting things done for the newspaper as well as being some of my great friends and always supporting me
and being there for me. I wish my current co-editor, Natalie Huffine, luck next year as she takes on the job of
being editor by herself. She is a very good writer and will surely lead the newspaper to another great year.
I will undoubtedly miss Pike High School and writing for the Hi-Life. The experiences I’ve had and memories I have made will stay with me forever. It has been the four greatest years of my life thus far. The friends I
have made are amazing and I love them so much. Thank you Pike for the four years you have given me. I am
forever indebted to you and will never forget everything you did for me.

I ran for class president because I wanted to leave a great legacy
at Pike and make our senior year memorable. I made sure I represented myself as a leader and a positive person. I wanted to be
the eyes and ears of my senior class and make sure that everyone’s
ideas were put into action. Underclassmen should get
involved with at least one extracurricular activity. It
makes high school go by much faster! Also, build a
good relationship with your teachers. -Brenda Shelton

Pike Changes from Freshman to Senior years
Changes of the buildings and teachers over the last four years
The nearly 10- month- old fitness center, a recent renovation to the building from grant Pike On the Move.
As students undergo many changes from
freshman year to senior year, at the same time
teachers and the building has changed as well.
JERICHO JOHNSON
In the gym area,
Reporter
there now is a fitness
center. This renovation to
the old gymnastics room
is one of the ways that the building has changed
over the last four years.
This new addition is an improvement to Pike
that includes different exercise equipment such
as treadmills and weights, for the students to use.
“What I like the most about the fitness center
is the new equipment and how smoothly it
works. It gives us extra auxiliaries, extra work
after school. Besides just lifting weights all the
time, you can go in there and run on the treadmill, instead of having to go outside and run
around the track,” junior Taylor Sanders said.
Certain teachers that have left, or may have
went to a new building have left their influence.
Roy Dobbs, administrator for the Pike Prepatory Academy, is an example.
Students looked up to Roy Dobbs and were
influenced by him as well.
“He influenced me big time. Intramurals and
Young Men of Purpose is changing, everything
is changing since he’s been gone. I think when he
had to leave, [he left] part of Pike definitely missing,” junior Taylor Sanders said.
Although some teachers and staff have left the
building, there have also been some new teachers
that have entered it.
Calculus teacher Angela Lubbers and physics
teacher Darren Fox are two of the many new
teachers.
“The new teachers are pretty cool [and] they
actually are good teachers,” senior Joseph Rodgers said.
The changes from the last four years has
allwed the Class of 2013 to witness a part of history. They have been able to experience modern
upgrades.
As the building changes and teachers come
and go, students make their own mark on it,
becoming a part of the growing list of past graduates.
Senior Lyric Hampton said, “It feels good to
be leaving, but I know I’m going to miss people
and teachers. I think my personality is what left a
mark on Pike.”
Current students were born in the ‘90s. From
freshmen to seniors, students’ birth years range
from 1994 to 1998. The ‘90s were a colorful age
of the emerging technology and trends that have
pioneered what is in place today. The ‘90s is the decade that generated the next wave of students who
are soon to go forward into the world and make it a
better place. Pike High School celebrates the ‘90s as
the decade of future leaders.

Faculty prepares for retirement
CAMERON THOMAS
Reporter
While not every retiree chooses to be
acknowledged for their years of service
to education, a few were willing
to share some of the highlights of
their careers as they prepare for
their upcoming transition.
Guidance Counselor Diane Richie
is retiring after 13 years. Unlike
others, Richie just recently made a
sudden decision to retire. As Richie
prepared to share, it was obvious
she would miss the school setting.
She held back tears as she talked
about some of the things she
loved most about education -- and
the students she treasures, showing that education and her job is
something she is passionate about.
Cameron: What’s the best memory you’ll
have from working with Pike Township
students?
Richie: Any time a student or parent has
told me that I’ve made a difference in
their life.
Cameron: Did you have any working
experience before you started in Pike
Township?
Richie: I was a counselor, teacher, and
dean of students. But I started my career
in Indianapolis Public Schools as a
middle school Language Arts teacher.
Cameron: What’s one student or event that
you encountered that touched you?
Richie: I’ve had students who, because
of family problems (they were battling
depression and suicide) and I was able
to work with them
and their family to
save that student’s
life. It moves me
to know that I am
an adult whose
students know they
can come to and
talk.
Cameron: How have
you grown from
teaching?
Richie: Education
is changing all the
time from online classes being offered
and technology becoming such a big
part in schools.
Cameron: How has teaching changed
your life?
Richie: Being in education has changed
my life every year, from helping
students with their personal lives, to
making sure that the pick the correct
college. Every student and family is
unique and it’s exciting to be a service
to them.
Cameron: Why did you decide to retire?
Richie: I decided to retire because I
wanted to be able to spend more time

recently died.
Cameron: What’s the best memory you’ll
have from working with Pike Township

Jones: My best memory would have to be
when we opened up a restaurant for the
teachers. My Advanced Foods students
prepared lunch for the teachers and
served them too.
Cameron: Did you have any working
experience before you started in Pike

Pike’s Favorite Storyteller Departs
Charles Burchfield, Beloved AP United States History Teacher, Retires After 41 Years of Teaching
On May 4, 2013 Charles Burchfield chaperoned the prom just as
he had done for 50 other dances
and proms. Before the prom king
and queen were crowned, Burchfield was called on stage. He had no
idea why he was on stage and was

more
Co-Editor-In-Chief
confused
when Principal Troy Inman leaned
into Burchfield and jokingly told
him he had won a car. Then it was
announced that Burchfield was being crowned the “Real” Prom King.
This honor celebrated all of his
contributions to Pike High School
and all of the students he has affected during his 41 years of teaching United States History.
Burchfield, the favorite teacher
of many and the staple social studies teacher at Pike, will be “graduating” this year after teaching at Pike
High School for 19 years.
Burchfield is 65 years old and decided that retiring now is a way to
avoid getting too old to teach. “My
philosophy has always been ‘I want
to go out on top’. I don’t want to be
one of those teachers that people
say should have retired three years
ago. I do not want to be known as
the ‘used to be’ teacher. I want to go
out on top,” Burchfield said.
However, Burchfield wants his
students to know that teaching has
always been his love. “I love being
with [the students]. I love teaching.
I have always had good experiences
[in teaching]. Really I had no desire
to do anything else,” Burchfield
said.
Burchfield has impacted many
students that have walked through
Pike High School’s doors. One of
said students is sophomore Jacob
Isaacs. Isaacs has had Burchfield
both semesters this school year
and believes he is fortunate to have
been able to have had him.
“He is a memorable teacher and
when people look back on their
history teachers they will think of
him. Everybody wants to have him.
Everybody loves him,” Isaacs said.
However, Burchfield’s legacy
goes back much further than his 19
years at Pike.
Burchfield graduated from Pike
in 1966. Although there were
only 156 people in his graduating
class, they had a huge impact on
Pike. His class was the first class
to graduate from the current Pike
High School. His class was also
responsible for the naming of Pike’s
yearbook Pike’s Peek and his class
also convinced the administration
to hold prom in an outside venue.
When Burchfield was a Junior
in High School he decided that he
wanted to be a teacher.
For College, Burchfield studied
at Indiana University where he met
his wife and participated in ROTC.
When Burchfield graduated
from college, he joined the military.
Because he had been in ROTC he
started out as a Lieutenant. Although difficult, the time Burchfield spent in the military helped
him greatly. Burchfield believes
that his experiences in the military
have made him a better teacher.
“My best teaching techniques were
given to me by the military. It
taught me discipline. It taught me
that you have more energy then
you think. It taught me to just keep
going,” he said.
Burchfield’s first teaching job
was in Union City, Ohio at Mississiwewa Valley. He taught there
for three years before coming back
to Pike Township to open Guion
Middle School.
After teaching at Guion for 20
years, Burchfield decided to teach
at the high school, where he has
been for the last 18 years.
Sophomore Annie Cole feels
that Burchfield’s retirement is sad.
“I feel like he is ready to retire but
at the same time, he is not ready to
retire. People are going to miss his
stories because Burchy is always
right. He always knows,” Cole said.
What makes Burchfield’s class so
memorable is his stories.
“His stories really do make his
class. They bring U.S. history to
life. I have understood history a lot
better because of his stories. Burchfield’s class puts a new perspective
on US history and he adds a fun
perspective to it,” Cole said.
To senior Emily Ambriz, one
particular story stands out.
“The story about how he was the
first person to eat a Big Mac in Hawaii really stands out,” Ambriz said.
Burchfield’s life has allowed him to
teach history like it is a story, rather
then a textbook, and this is what
makes him memorable.
Burchfield lived through the Korean War, Vietnam War, the Watergate Scandal, and numerous other
historical events. Throughout the
years, Burchfield’s current events
have become history and his story
telling has won over many students
who never thought they would like
history.
The student body of Pike has
loved Burchfield for 18 years and
now it is time to let “Burchy” move
on with his life.
Even though “Burchy” is retiring, he wants his philosophy at Pike
to live on.
Burchfield said,“I try to teach
with humans in mind. You are going to make mistakes in life, we all
do. But there is no reason people
should not try. Someone has to be
our senator, president, and teachers. And sometimes the most underestimated people turn out to be
pretty good leaders. So you should
never give up on anyone.”
Burchfield’s Advice
For The Class of
2013
1. Enjoy what you do. I hope
everyone will have a career,
like mine, where they are really
happy.
2. Take advantage of all the opportunities that come to you.
3. Never burn your bridges behind you.
4. Be informed of the world
around you. The world is changing too fast to be ignorant.

The Man Through the Years
By Addie Jacobs
REPORTER
1980
2002
The Story Behind the Man
After 12 years at Pike one of the most well liked teachers is departing.
Following his heart, Martindale is planning on
going to Virginia. After going to senior prom together
and facing 10 years of a long distance relationship,
Martindale and his girlfriend found it too difficult and
went their separate ways. Now after marrying other
people, having kids, and going through divorce, they
have found each other again.
Though it was a tough decision that took most of
the year to make, it is official that this will be Martindale’s last year teaching at Pike. “I will be teaching
summer school in the Czech Republic starting in late
June and then in August I’m moving to Virginia when
I get back,” Martindale said.
At first thought, Martindale wanted to be a politician then shortly after that he wants to do psychology
counseling. However, he just did not connect to them.
“I just wasn’t has drawn to them. Once I was in them
I realized they didn’t use my skills and talents so well,”
Martindale said.
After job shadowing and guest speaking for some of
his friends who were teachers Martindale fell in love
with the job. “It was a heart-felt decision and no one
goes into teaching for the money,” Martindale said.
Martindale, who competed in a Speech National
Tournament in 1979, first considered teaching English
or Journalism so he could be a speech couch. However since he majored in Psychology and minored in
Political Science it was easier for him to get his social
studies license so he could get right to teaching.
After teaching at North Central for six years, being
a wellness consultant for companies, and selling maps
and globes and teaching some college classes, Martindale came to Pike to teach. “I always missed teaching
when I wasn’t doing it. It is my calling,” Martindale
said.
Martindale returned to Pike in the fall of 2001 after
doing his student teaching here in 1986. Handing it
down to a friend, the teacher who Martindale was a
student teacher for called him and informed him that
she was retiring and invited him to apply for her job.
When Martindale heard that Pike was going to be a
IB school he expressed an interest in teaching Theory
of Knowledge. Shortly after Mrs. Cracraft was promoted to head IB coordinator, Martindale was given
his chance to teach TOK.
Martindale is not only leaving his classes behind, he
is also leaving two clubs as well. Martindale is a sponsor for both GSA and a club for Muslim students at
Pike.
It is still undecided who will take over his multiple
responsibilities. His teaching job for psychology and
government will be left to an open application and
two teachers are being sent to classes this summer to
become eligible to teach TOK. For GSA the two other
sponsors will remain and if any teachers are interesting
in sponsoring with them they can because it is. The
Muslims of America group, which has been inactive
for the year, will no longer be a club unless another
student in the future restarts it.
Martindale will be missed next year not only by staff
but by past and present students as well.

Pike students ready for summer concert season

ent bands, and you’re getting a ton of different
people for a low price.” The Vans Warped Tour
will have its fair share of Pike students attending. Senior Sabrina Cordon also says she will be
going to that concert.
When going to a concert, students may want
the full experience of sitting right in front of
the stage. Sitting that close to the stage will of
course cost the extra money. Cordon says it’s
worth the extra money if it’s a popular artist.
However, Martin says she’s fine with the lower
priced seats. Both Martin and Cordon say they
have been saving for the upcoming concerts.
Screaming at the tip of their lungs, students
look forward to being part of the huge crowds
the concerts will draw. Nobody plans to have a
bad time over the summer. They plan on adding memories to their summers. This summer
should be a blast, and should give students topics to talk about for the next couple of months.
The countdown begins for the summer plans.
Kendrick Lamar will perform June 6 at
White River State Park.

Not always the obvious choice
for summer employment
ummer is quickly approaching and teens are ready to find
summer jobs. Since the economy
is still recovering from a recession, it may be hard to find and get a job
during the summer,
By Lexxus Canatsey especially for high
REPORTER
school students.
It is no surprise
that college students take up most of the
summer jobs since they return home from
college before high school students end
their school year.
However, there are many possibilities for
teens having difficuly finding traditional
jobs.
According to www.moneycrashers.
com there are many non-conventional jobs
teens should consider to make money. Just
a few of them include: Baby sitter, Camp
Counselor, Pool Cleaner, Career orientated
Internships, Tutor, Movie Theater Employee, Golf Course Caddy, Lifeguard, Handy
person, Dog walker/Pet-sitter, Mobile
Automobile detailer.
There might not be any choice.According
to an article on boston.com the number of
teens holding a job in an average month has
fallen from 54 percent in 1999 to 27 percent
in 2013.
“It has been a long struggle. I’ve applied
to Target, Footlocker, Wendy’s, Wal-Mart,
Old Navy, Boston Market, Great Clips, and
Applebee’s, sophomore Jordan Perry said.”
Perry explains that he was upset that he
didn’t get any of the jobs.
“It never made me stop looking,” Perry
said.

It’s that time of year.The weather is warming
up, and students are preparing for their summers. One favorite thing for students to do is to
take in some concerts, especially if they can find
special deals, since prices can often begin at $25
or even $50 a ticket.
Students have been planning and saving extra
cash to have a good time this summer. Some
concerts may reflect their personalities. Others
might be a chance for a student to explore a new
type of genre. Whatever the reason, Indianapolis
will have all different types of artist coming to
town.
The concert agenda ranges from rock, country, R&B, pop, comedy, and more. Indianapolis
prides itself on welcoming acts from all across
the music spectrum.
The list of concerts seems as if it would go on
for forever. The Vans Warp Tour is drawing a lot
of attention around the school. Ashley Martin
who plans on attending some concerts says,
“For Vans Warped Tour there is a ton of differ-
Justin Bieber will perform July 10 at
Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Consider these types
of job opportunities.
Sophomore Dashawn Felder is also
having a hard time finding a job.
“I applied at Burger King, McDonalds,
Cold Stone, Wendys, Subway, Kroger, Culvers, Old Navy, Target, etc. It’s a struggle,”
Felder said.
While some are struggling, there are
jobs available.
Justin Madera actually had an easy
time getting a job. He explains that his
mother works at Henry Schein.
“I filled out an application, did a job
interview, took a drug test and done,”
explained Madera. When you’re out looking for a summer job be patient. It may
be hard but if you keep with it and stay
patient you will find a job, and you will be
on your way to making money. The hardest part is getting the foot in the door.

Captain America
Released in 2011
Directed by Joe Johnston
Starring Chris Evans and Hugo Weaving
Released as the fourth film in the critically acclaimed
and commercially successful Marvel Cinematic Universe,
Captain America: The First Avenger serves as a prequel to
the entire series.
In broad strokes, the film covers the rise of the titular
hero from 4-F asthmatic weakling to 1-A asskicking ubermensch with the help of a supersoldier formula. Along with
this general plot, however, Captain America also establishes
the importance of the series Macguffin: the Tesseract, a
cosmic cube that provides unlimited energy and therefore
unlimited power.
Styalistically, Captian America serves as a gorgeous period piece set to the tune of the Second World War. It doesn’t
give any accurate reflection of the time period, instead presenting itself as if it were from the 1940s. Cap’s montage is
especially worth noting, as it serves to satirize trite wartime
propaganda - like the original Captian America.
In short, Captain America is like an old B-movie given
a better budget, and is so relentlessly awesome at every opprotunity that it just can’t be missed.
Fight Club
Released in 1999
Directed by David Fincher
Starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt
Fight Club, in all it’s soapy, bloody, and psychologically scarring glory, is easily one of the most controversial
flims of the 1990’s. It’s basically the film adaption of the
eponymous novel by Chuck Palahniuk, but in the best way
possible.
The film’s plot basically covers the unnamed narrator
going batty, discovering that he’s batty, and then fixing
said battiness. Breaking in a numb society of emotional
alienation and superficial object obsession, he creates Tyler
Durden. Tyler Durden and he create Fight Club, which of
course can’t be talked about. What follows is really freaking
weird, and challenges basically everything ever- including
itself.
Fight Club is a curious and volatile mixture of the
original book, the cinematic genius of Fincher, and virtuoso performances by Norton and Pitt. Everything is done
extremely well, especially the opening animation and the
ending music. The blink and you’ll miss it fun bits before
Durden’s arrival are also a treat to look for.
To put it as simply as possible, Fight club is a classic that
has attracted a loyal cult following, and well deserves it.

It has been a lifetime
