No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted. –Aesop “It makes you feel good because it makes their day,” said senior student council member Lexie Pelchen, regarding the luncheon held in the senior high cafeteria every year for local senior citizens. For about 16 years, Greater Latrobe has made the luncheon available for members of the community to come together with friends and meet new people, as well as provide an opportunity for the students of Greater Latrobe to give back to the community. “The senior citizens look forward to this every year,” said Mrs. Houck, student council co-advisor. “They call beforehand and check when the luncheon is scheduled for to make sure they know exactly when to show up.” The student council members created a luncheon atmosphere complete with fresh table cloths and flower arrangements as center pieces. Members of Student council greeted 170 guests from the Greater Latrobe Community. The students acted as waiters, making the luncheon an inviting place for the citizens to spend their afternoon. “I’m glad I was able to be there to help bring smiles to all of the senior citizen’s faces,” said sophomore Emma Kate Womack. “They were all so grateful and seemed to have a really good time.” Womack played the piano for over an hour during the luncheon. Throughout the year, the student council raised funds in order to cover the costs of the luncheon. “Student council in all grades are represented and get to participate [in the luncheon,]” said Pelchen, which makes this event special for the entire club. “It felt nice to be helping others,” said senior student council member David Moffa. “It’s humbling to me because I know that these people greatly appreciate what we are doing.” Many of the senior citizens who attend the luncheon have been coming for many years. “I like getting together with all of our friends,” said community member Cathy Ennis. “Eight of us friends meet each year and the food is always excellent.” The attendees enjoy seeing their friends and find the luncheon as a great opportunity for a social get together for all generations. “It’s always wonderful,” said Ennis, “it’s something to look forward to and the students all do such a great job.”

Capstone and Earth and Environment students work on cooperative stream project, continuing flowing impact for the environment.

Capstone Makes a Difference for Stream and Community Through Continued Hands-On Project

Students in the environmental science courses at Greater Latrobe use pages of a textbook to learn, but a variety of hands-on learning approaches give a lasting educational impact. In its third year, Kindergarten Earth Day took place on Friday, April 27 and Monday, April 30 at Rotary Park in Youngstown. The event allowed senior high students to teach younger students the importance of the environment. As part of the kindergarten curriculum of studying trees, Ms. Sarah Boice, a Baggaley Kindergarten teacher, helped in starting the event to give her students hands on experience. “We wanted to involve the entire district and create an event in which we worked together,” said Boice. “The event has dual value: kindergarten students experience a hands-on culmination to their science unit on trees and the high school students have the opportunity to participate in service learning.” “[Kindergarten Earth Day] is a great way of connecting juniors and seniors with kindergarten students,” said Mrs. Carol Wright, Environmental teacher, sharing similar feelings. “The kindergarten students look up to senior high school students so much, so when they see senior high students involved, I believe that really makes the impact.” Through the assistance of Rotarian Jack Townsend and the Rotary Club of Latrobe, trees acted as a connection to the environment and day for each kindergarten class. In addition to impacting both kindergarten and senior high students, the trees planted are a critical part for the health and overall quality of the stream that flows through Rotary Park. “What a better way to [plant trees], then running kindergarten earth day,” said Wright. “The students are connected and are so proud. The idea is that when kindergarten students become high school students and get up to this level, a long-standing legacy will develop. That’s awesome; I cannot wait for that actually.” “My hope is to see the Kindergartners that have experienced this event get the opportunity to “run” it in high school,” said Boice. “It will be absolutely amazing to see it come full circle.”

In addition to Wright and Boice, committees of students began planning in January for a successful event. The creation of various student-led stations helped students to love and enjoy trees. To teach of the importance of recycling, students participated in a race activity, while others interactively read environmental stories. To stress the importance of animal forest habitats, students shared various furs and skins, while others colored and signed certificates they could take home and walk away with. “I hope the students gained knowledge about recycling and taking care of the earth,” said senior Jeff Elam, who worked on the story committee. Junior Alaina O’Conner worked with others to organize the mural painting and gained much from the kindergarten students. “I really liked when the children first arrived and we all planted the tree,” said O’Conner. “They were all really into it and excited for what the day had in store for them.” Through the fun hands on activities, the importance of the environment kindergarten students learned from the day will continue. “It was outstanding,” said Wright. “The students that organized did an amazing job and all of the Earth and Environment students were equally great.” According to Wright, the kindergarten teacher’s comments were 100% positive, many amazed at how well the high school students handled themselves. Students in Mrs. Hunter’s class at LES sent Wright and her students’ thank you cards sharing their favorite part of the day. “I like when they planted the tree. We played a lot of games. I got tired,” said a student, showing the positive impact of the day. “We feel that this project has only gotten better since its inception,” said Boice. “I am in awe of how committed and enthusiastic the high school students are. They are a great model for our young students.”With yet another year and event successful, Wright has high hopes for the continuation of the unique event. “I will make Kindergarten Earth Day happen every year I am teaching at greater Latrobe because it is that valuable,” Wright said.

Student’s Plant the Future

Throughout the year Capstone and Earth and Environment students have learned different aspects about stream restoration and the impact environment. During the week of May 7-11, students planned to put what they have learned into use with the stream restoration project at Nine Mile Run. “I’m excited to finally get to put all we’ve learned to good use,” said senior Amanada Adams. The goal of the annual project is to restore the eroded banks of Nine Mile Run. Adding a variety of structures, made with logs and stones, increase the fish population. Single and multi-log vanes, log face stone deflectors, mud sills and cross vanes, help restore the eroded banks of the stream. “This project will be good for the stream because once there are good structures in the stream the Fish and Boat commission will be able to stock fish,” said Derek Edwards. “The trout will survive in this environment all year-round so people can fish throughout the year.” In preparation for this year’s project an elite class of students walked the stream with members of the Fish and Boat Commission to plan out the structures. Both Capstone and Earth and Environment students counted the number of fish and species through Electrofishing. The number of macro invertebrate and the stream conditions were noted. Visual assessments of the stream banks and surrounding areas were completed to help prepare for the project. By making these observations students in future years will be able to observe changes in the environment and determine how structures are helping the stream. Mrs. Wright, who previously worked with the Loyalhanna Water Shed Association, prepared the Capstone class for the stream project throughout the year. “We have been building up to work on the project all year,” said Adams. Students have learned about the effects of placing these structures into the environment and what components are needed to have a prosperous stream. By adding this year’s planned structures to the stream, fish would have had clear path from the Loyalhanna creek to Nine Mile Run. In her second year of teaching the Capstone class, Mrs. Wright was excited for the completion of the most extensive project yet. “We had record rain fall in the 24 hour period so due to that we weren’t able to be in the stream because of safety reasons,” said Wright. The Capstone class spent a whole day at the stream, working with members of the crew to install nine structures, which ended up being the only structures installed because of the weather. To date 48 structures have been added to Nine Mile Run, located beside Rotary field. This year’s project included 40 new structures which would have completed all work on this section of the Loyalhanna watershed. Although this project did not go as planned, next year Capstone students will be able to finish the final stretch of Nine Mile Run. Combining knowledge and effort, students will to leave a lasting mark on the Nine Mile Run stream. With all the hard work and dedication they have put in the results are sure to be great when they complete the biggest project to date.

Seniors Leave Their Mark at the Art ShowGreater Latrobe Senior High School hosted a student art show on May 10, 2012 in the CSC. Seniors who are passionate about art had the opportunity to show their work in a window. “Seniors can display their art from this school year as well as their junior and sophomore year,” said Mrs. Mack.

Tatiana Ryan has loved art since she was a child, but she enjoys paint-ing most of all. “I will have paintings and drawings in the art show,” said Ryan. Tatiana’s work is realistic and original. She uses varied mediums and unique colors.

Brendan Moss displayed a series of four paintings including abstract self portraits. Moss had been working on a painting of a monkey that he saw a picture of in National Geographic and found it fascinating. “I am trying to finish it soon, so it can be in the show,” said Moss. The painting was completed in time for the show.

Katie Douds has devoted time and dedication into perfecting one piece, “I have spent 50-60 hours on this painting, it has tak-en up a lot of time,” said Douds. While walking past Doud’s paint-ing of a fountain, you will be able to feel the cool evening air and hear the splashes of water.

Emily Puleo began painting in her sophomore year. Her first paint-ing of the Northern Lights won the Honorable Mention award. “My interest for art began when I started sketching cartoons. Once I began shading, my drawings became more complex,” said Puleo. Puleo is most proud of the portrait of her brother. The photo was taken by Bree Tryon, and then Puleo drew it with black charcoal, using a bit of blue for his eyes.

Daniel Sarver began his journey into the artistic world by taking ceramics. “Eyes are the window to the soul” was the colloquialism that influenced Sarver’s favorite of his paintings, “Window to the Soul.” Sarver used oil paint to transform a 40’’x36’’ canvas into a colorful work of art that has deep spiritual meaning. Sarver plans to attend IUP for art education.

“I am passionate about art and literature, so I incorporate literature in my art work,” said Gretchen Uhrinek. Uhrinek has drawn Jim Mor-rison, painted Hunter S. Thompson, and has sculpted a ceramic book with the last stanza of Edgar Allen Poe’s, “The Raven” carved on the page. Uhrinek’s talents have successfully expressed her personality through her pieces. She plans to major in journalism and would love to be “the next Gonzo journalist.”

My sister got into art, so I began to take an interest due to my older siblings influence,” said Drew Eline. Eline loves cats, and incorporated them into some of her art. For example, Eline had a display of four frames at the art show. The frames were covered in colorful fabric and decorated with beads and painted shadows of cats. “Overall, each frame took about five hours to complete,” said Eline. Eline will be going to Juniata, majoring in Zoology or wildlife conservation. Eline would also enjoy being a wildlife photographer.

“Being logical and mathematical does not limit you from being an artist,” said Natalie Nakles. Natalie has taken art classes at the Latrobe Art Center since she was a child. Her favorite mediums are graphite and oil paint. Since Nakles is fascinated by outer space, she decided to paint a nebula. The deep red and glowing orange are realistic, and the stars shining in the black sky makes one feel like they are peering out of a spaceship.

Sunlight shines through the stained glass that has been displayed in the Commons Area since April 2012. Miss Bush assisted 3-D design students to form pictures and shapes from colorful bits of glass. “It was interesting to have the ability to work with a new medium,” said junior Julie Marcinik, who took the 3-D Design class. Marcinik’s stained glass porcupine collects sunshine and pink beams fill the room.

Silk scarves sway in the air as they hang from the ceiling in the Commons Area. During the winter of 2011, portfolio prep students learned proper cloth dying techniques from Mrs. Mack. “We began by drawing sketches of what designs we wanted on our scarves. We dyed them with regular clothing dye, and then washed them. After our scarves were completed, we hung them in the commons area,” said portfolio prep student senior Bree Tryon.

Located within the flower beds around the courtyard are ceramic totem poles. Former Latrobe High School art teacher, Mr. Bolby, constructed the first totem pole with ceramic students three years ago. The totem poles are stacks of large ceramic beads that are supported by dowel rods. Each student made their own bead by forming an oval shape, carving designs into the surface, and finally glazing the clay with a favorite color. “The totem poles collaborate students, because although the project is pieced together by many individuals, I consider each sculptural bead to represent the student’s personality as well as their future,” said Bolby.

The walls of the cafeteria are decorated with artistic masterpieces. Famous paintings such as “Water Lilies” by Claude Monet are replicated by drawing and painting teacher Mrs. Mack’s students.” The paintings are scaled and single blocks are given to students to paint,” said Mack. Once each student finishes a block, the squares turn into recognizable works of art. “I learned a lot about how to scale paintings. I am impressed with the overall piece, everybody worked very hard. It brought the class together, piece by piece,” said sophomore Leah Pratt.

Guest artist Gillian Preston along with the photography class created the etched glass artwork that is located in the upper S hallway. Preston professionally etches glass and came to Latrobe to teach students about her profession. Each photography class chose a subject that best represented the school and took a photo of it. The photos were transferred to glass, then sandblasted; oil was applied along all of the contours to make the image pop. “It was a very interesting experience to work with an artist that works in unique ways to create beautiful things such as the boxes,” said sophomore, Rachael Berger.

What made you want to become a teacher? Originally, I wanted to become a lawyer. I took all the steps necessary to go to law school in college, including taking the LSATs to get into law school. I also interned with a law firm in Greensburg. After applying to law schools, I was getting ready to send in a check for the school I wanted to go to. It was at that time, that I wondered if I would be able to juggle a family and law school, or even being a lawyer, not to mention the debt of going to law school. I decided to put law school on hold. I got a job working as a social worker but realized that it wasn't for me. It is a good career, but not my fit. My mother then said to me, "If you are not going to law school, then you should teach what you love...government, law, history...you were always a teacher, don't you see that?" She then proceeded to say, "You were a lifeguard, you taught swimming lessons, you taught CCD, you babysat everyone's kids, and coached youth sports all before graduating high school." I got to thinking about that, and how there were certain teachers in high school and college that changed my life. I also wanted a job that focused on what I had studied in college, I had/have such a passion for it. When I went back to college to be a teacher and student teach, I loved it. I had found my fit!

What sparked your interest in Law? My interest in law started with my love for history, which started in about 9th or 10th grade. I became infatuated with the Kennedy Assassination through my history classes and film, that then led to wanting to learn more about history, politics, and ultimately the law.

What kind of high school student were you? I was an average student in high school. I was very involved in activities, sports, and I worked.. Softball was my life. I pitched. Pitching is what got me to college, so I am appreciative for all the time my parents put into softball for me.

How do you believe that high school is different today than it was when you were in high school? Technology! What teachers can do in a classroom with the use of technology is amazing!

What do you like about teaching high school? I really enjoy teaching high school students. I find it very fulfilling when I know what we are doing in the classroom is going to pay off at the collegiate level or in adulthood. I also enjoy the social interaction that takes place in the classroom, when I see students at sporting events, activities, and in the community.

What did you want to do when you were younger? There wasn't just one specific thing. When I was real little I wanted to be an actress, then it was the first female professional baseball player, then it was a marine biologist

because I loved the ocean, then I thought about being an athletic trainer, and finally a lawyer.

What is your favorite part of being a teacher? I get to come to work everyday and teach what I love. Everything has come around full circle. There are times I think I would like to go to law school just to teach it at a higher level in addition to high school, but it is not something I long for anymore. I am completely fulfilled with teaching law, global studies, and economics here at Greater Latrobe. I love what I teach! I also really enjoy my students and the connection we establish in our classes. I enjoy our classroom discussions, the motivation they give me as a teacher, and the pride I feel for their accomplishments.

What is a normal day for you? During the week it is all about work and home. First thing though is Coffee! I tend to stay after school for a little while, then when I go home I have to cook and do all the mom stuff. We make a point to try to eat together as often as we can at home. We are very involved in soccer, so we run around a lot for that. I usually work from home too, and then I love my television shows in the evening. When the weather is nice, I always try to make time to go outside. Whether it is to walk my dog or hang out on the patio, I really enjoy being outside.

Do you have any hobbies outside of school? My hobbies have dwindled a little since I am mainly supporting my son's hobbies. I used to coach Softball and Soccer for years, but gave those up for now to be with my family more. I really enjoy going to my son's soccer games, sports, walking the dog, and spending time with my family. I also like to bake, and in the summertime I will often

invite people over for dessert. I used to knit scarves and scrapbook but haven't done much of that lately.

Why did you decide to incorporate mock trial into your law class? Many students were requesting Mock Trials as a class activity. I had participated in some in college and they were fun.. I feel there is a greater level of understanding of the court process and laws when you present a Mock Trial. Also, the task itself of putting on a trial is very realistic regarding teamwork, professionalism, and public speaking that most people are going to experience in their careers. It is one of my favorite parts to my Law courses, and I think many students would say the same. It doesn't matter if you have an interest in law or not, we are having fun and learning at the same time!

What do you feel is the most challenging part of mock trial? I think for myself, it would be time. It is difficult to manage my time among the different groups to ensure I am guiding them in the right directions and giving of myself equally. This is especially true in law I. With law II, students are pretty familiar with the process but we are doing two trials. I have to keep the two trials straight in my head while we are working on them at the same time. I love it though! The competitive nature in me thrives off of the challenge.

“I’ve never even heard of K2 so make a video explaining the dangers and how it was found in our own area.” ~Erica Fazzini, sophomore

United as One is a group of inspirational students in GLSD. They first organized a t-shirt sale for a family after the loss of their son. Then, when a local family recently lost their home and belongings to a fire, they organized a spaghetti dinner to benefit the family, which raised over $7000 in one week. These are just two of many possible acts of kindness. What was the last act of kindness you have done?

“I convinced my dad, who is the treasurer of the Boy’s Lacrosse club, to donate the 50/50 money to the Guzik family.” ~Adam Drake, junior

TribLive did a story about Franklin Regional High School’s SADD club, which held a pre-prom mock car crash in which one girl was “killed.” The girl, Nina Hockenberry, made her profile picture an image of her bloodied and bruised body to remind students to drive safely during prom weekend. She encouraged students to make smart decisions and not drive impaired or distracted. What do you suggest students at Greater Latrobe do to drive safely, not only on prom weekend, but always?

“Have police present at prom, and anyone who looks impaired should be evaluated.”~Gunner Falbo, junior

According to WPXI, thousands of dollars and 150 grams of synthetic marijuana were recently found at the Latrobe Choice gas station, months after the sales started. The drug, known as K2, was outlawed in Pennsylvania last year. K2 is extremely dangerous yet is targeted by teens for an over-the-counter high. While this drug continues to grow in popularity in the area, how can we raise awareness about its dangers?

Speak Out!Students express their views on the latest current issues

“With the “Be Cool” program in elementary school, they should talk about the dangers of drugs instead of just cigarettes. Make them aware.” ~Nick Wilkins, senior

“I made dinner because my mom is sick and my dad was on a business trip. Just helping out at home since she isn’t feeling well.” ~Amanda Wagner, senior

“Don’t drink and do drugs and then drive. It’s not safe and it’s not necessary. Avoid doing those things.” ~Garrett Fennell, senior ~Compiled by Natalie Ryall, Intern

“Make it more public. It is not as well known as some other drugs.” ~Matt Dunlap, junior

“I help at the Action for Animals shelter. I help walk the dogs and get stuff ready in the mornings and clean.” ~Meghan Kernicky, senior

“I suggest students always buckle up and keep their eyes on the road.”~Kelsey DeFelice, junior
